Bab 255: Martial Exchange Demonstration

Zero didn't like the sly smiles everyone was giving him. It was the kind of "I-know-something-you-don't" kind of smile. Baal would often give him this annoying smile when he was keeping secrets and the one thing Zero hated more than cliff hangers were secrets. If he knew they existed, it drove him crazy to not know what it was.

Qin Yun and Zero were the last to eat lunch and Zoe wasn't too pleased. Even as the zashikiwarashi fumed, she continued to heat up their lunch and refill their cups. Qin Yun did a debrief with Zero about his fighting style earlier on. It was clear as day that Zero wasn't a warrior. His movements may be nimble but his bloodlust missing. His experience was also sorely lacking and Qin Yun easily gained the upper hand because Zero wasn't sly enough to use tricks.

The fox spirit was quick to finish her food and excused herself while Zero got bombarded by the kids about his training session.
