Unfazed

The Convergence leaped towards Rui at extraordinary speeds. 

Speeds that far exceeded Rui's movements. 

Far exceeding his raw ability to evade.

And yet—

WHOOSH

He had dodged the attack before it even began. The Convergence's attack crashed into empty air as Rui gently tilted his head at precisely the right angle, at precisely the right moment.

The faintest of whispers escaped him. 

"I can see your SOUL."

Rui hadn't cared all too much about why the man hated him. He had just wanted to stall the man long enough so that he could create a SOUL model before the battle began. He had no true interest in the man's pathetic sob story about being outshined.

Equipped with the SOUL model as well as the predictive model, courtesy of the Angel of Laplace, he was ready to deal with the powerful peak Master at his absolute strongest.
