Viral was not convinced on Takeshi’s plight for his blade, seeing it as him using it as a toy once more. He just wasn’t going to give the sword any respect and that really angered the Beastman, especially after asking for lessons and never going for them. The sword was just used for showing off and Takeshi was too stubborn to go without it if that really was the case, obvious by the way he was trying to sweet-talk him into giving it to him. His actions really didn’t help other than managing to make him uncomfortable and a little bit anxious that he was getting a little too comfortable with being that close. Getting him to back off was the first phase, but getting him to listen was probably going to be even harder, “You say that, but what have you ever done for me? You don’t pay attention to me unless you want something”, he told him, rubbing his shoulder, “I don’t remember you ever having a casual conversation with me…”

If Takeshi was wanting the blade to show off then he wasn’t going to let him have it, especially when it could end up broken, stolen or dumped because it was of ‘no use’ to Takeshi anymore. It was a respectable blade, but Takeshi wouldn’t give it any of that despite how many people it’s possibly slain. It was in the hands of a vicious General and of course he would have used it, especially against the underground natives. Giving him a fairly solid glare, he grumbled as he shook his head when Takeshi tried to explain his simply storyline tactics, “A parry isn’t the same as blocking, but you’d know that if you ever took lessons with me”, he spoke simply, stepping back a bit, “You’ll probably dump the blade because you can’t use it…I can see it. I wouldn’t need to ask that bug anything because the look on your face says it all. If you can’t tell, I’m not convinced by your words. Just admit you’re barely interested in using it just because you’ve never seen another Saiyan use one and feel embarrassed to because it’s ‘inferior to Ki’…”
