By this point, Ryu felt that walking to the next inheritance was more difficult than claiming the inheritance itself. He couldn't tell for certain, but he felt like the pressure on himself was far more than what the others were experiencing.
At first, he thought that everyone was experiencing the same thing, but that was only because most others had to spend a large amount of time accepting inheritances. As a result, when he had originally gotten here, he hadn't seen anyone walking along the star paths as everyone was focused on their inheritance. It was only after being here for a while that he came to understand that this pressure he was experiencing was almost a wholly unique experience.
When Ryu realized this, his expression became even colder, a frigid air circulating around him, only to be overwhelmed by his thrumming Fire Dragon blood. He felt like he was being toyed with.
