The otaku grinned as he took the skittles from Darwin. Right at the moment, he felt rather drowsy. Weak, even. But his mind was still running at full power, which meant that he could still register what other people said and did to him. His eyes were fierce, yet his body was relaxed. A strange combination, even for a strange idiot such as him.

Ryuu popped a skittle in his mouth before shoving the pack he received into his pocket. Finally getting up to face the redhead known as Annie, he told Darwin,

"Well, that suits me just fine. But that teacher over there just got me interested in something..."

Ryuu felt like bolting out of the training area with Darwin to have a discussion like a pair of full-metal alchemists, but the woman in front of him [i]did[/i] offer him proper training. After all, ever since the sly woman known as Maria held the meeting of all things humiliating, he felt the urge to slack off. Now was a good time to get some exercise, regardless of whether he got beaten the living days out of him or not.

The last time he met demons, he was nearly pulverized. He did not want to get his head chopped off the next time he met them.

[i]And, uh...[/i] Ryuu thought as his eyes quickly darted toward Zivon. [i]...What's with that guy? Don't tell me he's thinking that I want his lunch money?! Wait...[/i]

Ryuu blankly stared at the bento lunch boxes Zivon had.

[i]...Don't tell me he's thinking that I want his [b]LUNCH[/b]?! Guhd DAMMIT! How am I supposed to receive training when this... shy guy... wants me to take his own lunch? Now [b]I[/b] look like a do-che![/i]

Still, the sound of free lunch did not sound bad, especially if Ryuu did not even threaten anyone to give him some. With that in mind, Ryuu attempted to make [url=http://sherly.mobile9.com/download/media/232/evilsmile_pulzx8hn.jpg]a nice smile[/url] that unintentionally looked like a demon's, pointing near where he was originally sitting at, as he stated,

"Well, you can put one down there if you really want to give it to me."

"Well, Li- er, Miss Linedale," Ryuu said as he stretched his back before looking at the redhead once more, "I would prefer to get some guided training. I've always preferred to learn from others, anyway."

With a somewhat confident grin, he pointed at himself with a thumb as he ever-so-slightly repositioned his legs.

"Name's Ryuu Yamauchi. Nice to meet ya, miss."

He had to prevent himself from calling her "Linedale-sensei" and not make things awkward. After all, the mood- for once- actually set itself up smoothly. Something about this woman made him feel that he would get his a-s whooped by her, but learning through meaningful discouragements was much better than winning empty victories.

"What kind of training do you have in mind, teacher?" He asked, slowly beginning to feel his daily dose of adrenaline packing up. Any form of training would do: he would deal with it and emerge as the victor... at least, he hoped he would. One of the otaku's hands remained in one of his pockets, while the other hung by loosely, as if he were waiting to take his lightsaber out or something.
