Ryu seriously gazed at the pond for a long while. He hadn't known this innate feeling had such a name until Ailsa told him. He always found his actions in his last life to border on ridiculous. He could barely understand why it was that he was so certain that death was the only path… until now.
In truth, Ryu didn't spend much effort understanding his Heavenly Pupils in his last life. Other than [Focus] and [Third Perspective], he didn't attempt to awaken any other abilities. In fact, he only awakened those two during his days of training before he turned seven years old.
To Ryu, his eyes were more of a bane than anything else. Who knew that it was actually because of them that he could stand here today…?
Slowly, he gathered his emotions. Ailsa didn't speak as she patiently waited, understanding how he must feel.
