Surprised that Kishimoto actually picked up the mind game cube, Ryuuji leaned back to watch with interest in his eyes. It didn't look like she was actually skilled in solving it as she wasn't using any strategies he had seen other people used, but she looked intent on solving it, like how intent she was with messing with Captain East. Interesting. He didn't think that such an object would spark her interest and curiosity, considering how hard to find something like that was. But he knew better than to speak up and coax a conversation out of her, it would only end up with her outright ignoring him or maybe shutting him down.

Ryuuji let out a small yawn. [b][color=1a7b30]"Money duty again huh? Sounds good to me."[/color][/b] It was always nice to get a headstart in seeing how much money they had on their hands. He wasn't foolish enough to take some for himself without permission. If anyone found out, his head would be on a pike or something. They compensated well for everything they do, so there wasn't any reason to betray them. No reason that Ryuuji could see, at the very least. Shade Walker explained everything in excruciatingly long descriptions, but Ryuuji kept them in mind. It sounded easy enough, if he were to be honest. With Kane in front fighting whatever was going to them, along with Lucifer and Kishimoto, it would be a breeze to teleport the money out of there. He looked at Kazuma. [b][color=1a7b30]"Oi, Kazuma, show me where you're hiding so I won't stumble around in the dark while trying to escape with these guys."[/color][/b] 

But then Kazuma pointed out that the academy trainees were out by now. He looked at the date and was reminded of that time that he was part of that squadron. He was taken in by a small-name company and there weren't many villainy happening at that time, as the Dark Tree was still in the shadows. His handler, as he called the villain who inserted him in the Dark Tree, told him that he should stop any of the other villains as long as they weren't under Blackened. Ryuuji had actually become a 'Hero' in everyone else's eyes as he was quite looking forward to kicking their asses, but it was only him culling the competition for Blackened. It was quite fun really, to be both praised by heroes and villains.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when Kishimoto spoke up, and Kazuma spat back an insult that didn't really sound all that impressive. [b][color=1a7b30]"Hear that Kane? Whelps to kick around."[/color][/b] He said, looking to the bulk of meat that was drinking. Ryuuji looked back upwards. [b][color=1a7b30]"I don't know how well UA's training their kids nowadays, but if I'm going off what I went through before, those first years should be easy for you to take on."[/color][/b] He continued. There was little emotion in his voice, remorse was not one of them. He might have been one of them before, but that was all a guise. It'd be fun seeing what his underclassmen were like. It's been years after all. 

Ryuuji closed his eyes for a moment, shoving his hands inside his jacket's pockets but the door opened. He opened his eyes and then turned his head to them and saw a man and a younger woman stroll in. The man went over to Shadow Walker while the woman stayed silent beside him. Ryuuji immediately saw the eye patch - blind? Interesting. As he looked closer at the man, he began to piece together who he was. Whitesnake, a recruiter just like his handler. Oh, well, then this means that she was going to be included in this mission. A new guy at this point? Great. He listened in on the conversation. Ludmilla, Russian? But she goes by Akane as well. 

But then the fact that she does not understand both English and Japanese worried him, but it would seem that she could translate from her phone. Shade Walker seemed to accept this fact well. The woman was then dismissed, through the use of another language which he assumed was Russian, and she went to the bathroom - giving everyone a glance. Ryuuji looked her straight in the eye and nodded his head before looking back at Shade Walker and Whitesnake. [b][color=1a7b30]"I know it isn't my place to say anything right now, but I'll just say this - I can help her learn Japanese if need be. That translator can only get her so far after all."[/color][/b] He then leaned back. [b][color=1a7b30]"I just hope it won't be detrimental when we're trying to communicate on the job."[/color][/b] He said dismissively.
