Takahashi was right, the power of one clever person could outsmart a mob of drones any day. All he had to do was figure out where his strengths were and grow on them. He nodded vehemently at, Takahashi, a grin plastered on his face, even as he trembled with inspiration. He clasped his hands, locking them together in hopes of quelling himself. [color=crimson][b]"Yea, I'm really feeling your words, Bro."[/b][/color] Then he realized something underneath Taka's words, an assumption that could be implied. [color=crimson][b]"Wait ... so does that mean you don't believe in Forces?"[/b][/color] he asked. Before Takahashi could answer, two prominent knocks came from the Force Nest's door. [center][b]* * *[/b] [sub]At the door to the Force Nest[/sub][/center] The tall man that Takatora was following had finally arrived at the generalized Force Nest area, specifically at the door of the ones that had stirred up the low-ranking community. Those that had, until a few minutes ago, been the stepping-stones of the rising star: King. The man had started to knock on the door but paused. Suddenly he looked in the direction of Takatora. [color=3650CA][b]"Wanna tell me why you're following me, Kid?[/b][/color] questioned the towering male softly. [color=3650CA][b]"Cause to be honest its kinda rude."[/b][/color] He pinched the bridge of his straight nose and sighed calmly. [color=3650CA][b]"Nevermind. Just try your best not to make stalking a habit. I'll answer any questions after I'm done here,"[/b][/color] reassured the cold man. Disregarding the ninja-master raccoon or ferret, he knocked twice on the door. [center][b]* * *[/b] [sub]Back inside the Force Nest[/sub][/center] Isamu moved to the button next to the door and pressed it. The door hissed open and in front of them stood a towering but slender man. His hair was graciously styled, as if he was some idol or model. If not for the viciousness in his sharp eyes, Isamu would have thought so. Instead there was a feeling of oppressiveness weighing on him, almost the same kind of overbearingness that he felt from King. This man's weight seemed a bit more defined, a tad sharper ... more dangerous. [color=3650CA][b]"A kid?"[/b][/color] he observed. [color=3650CA][b]"You must've been the one that made the sacrificial move. Bravo, you got the guts now you just need the calm."[/b][/color] Isamu took a few steps back as the man strode inside. [color=crimson][b]"H-Hey you can't just barge in he-"[/b][/color] [color=3650CA][b]"-Thank you,"[/b][/color] interrupted the suave man. He bowed very briefly at the present group. [color=3650CA][b]"Without you all I wouldn't have finally gotten a glimpse of his tricks. I've been watching him for months now and no one's gotten even close to making, King reveal his strats. I'm beyond grateful."[/b][/color] He half-folded his arms while rubbing his chin. After a second a quaint smile fell over him. [color=3650CA][b]"I make it my business to keep track of [i]candidates[/i], hoping to foster their potential in one way or the other."[/b][/color] His icy tone was hard to discern. [color=3650CA][b]"Also, you guys really did do me a solid. Who would have thought he'd have beam weaponry that could fry your machine's system ... I owe you guys one and I don't think I could pay you back any other way than this ..."[/b][/color] Isamu studied the man harshly, feeling as if he had seen him from somewhere. It was vague at first, the impression he was getting. Then it hit him. This man was, [url=https://i.imgur.com/WEwiDw5.jpg]Daigo Seiho:[/url] the current number two in all of GBN and the fifth Meijin Kawaguchi. Suddenly, Isamu was hit with the surprise brick. [color=crimson][i]He's way taller than he looks on the monitors![/i][/color] Daigo opened up his GBN menu, and systematically sent them all friend requests. As he scrolled down his Players Met, he paused, his finger hovering over a name. [color=3650CA][b]"Takatora ... Whose he? this says he's a part of your temp Force too."[/b][/color][/indent][/indent][/indent][/color]
