Fury

Silence. 

The words were clearly heard on the outside and several had complicated expressions. The feeling that they received was the kind that could only be described by helplessness, as though none of them knew how to refute. 

Ryu felt the shifts and turns in Karma and Fate, the twisting lines dancing before him in a way that made one thing clear… 

It didn't feel like Silent Quibus thought that he was lying. 

Ryu didn't reply immediately, nor did his facial expression change. It was as though he was checking once, then twice, then thrice, and then starting over again to ensure that he hadn't heard wrongly or perceived anything incorrectly. 

All the while, Silent Quibus had no intention of attacking as though he was too lazy to. He wanted this junior to attack so that he could get this over with. He hadn't expected that a portion of his intent would be summoned here for a Throne Challenge, but that made enough sense that it was still acceptable.
