When the simulation ended, Sousuke snatched his Gunpla and parts and put them away without a word. Then Nanashi spoke again. Sousuke's blood started to boil again as he clenched his fist and fought the urge to punch the 2nd Year right in his face. Instead Sousuke lashed out verbally, finally speaking, "I understand plenty, 2nd Year! You shouldn't assume things about people you know nothing about!" he practically threw his Gunpla case into his book bag before slinging it over his shoulder.
"I'm done for today!" he said, still in a snapping tone, "I have somewhere I need to be." and then he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Who does that self-righteous bastard think he is? Where does he get off acting like he understands anything about me? Who cares if I built the Crossbone Joker or not? I still kicked his sorry ass in that arena, that's all that matters. He can ramble about building all he wants. In the end, we're still the stronger team.
Later, at the Hospital
"What did you do? The Joker, it... you almost broke it!"
"I'm sorry. I let him get under my skin. It won't happen again."
"He must have really made you mad. What happened, anyway?"
"It was kind of stupid, to be honest. He said I didn't understand the Gunpla, and I... disgreed."
"How, with the Gunpla's fist? Sheesh... well, I better get started on the repairs. By the way, how did my little surprise work out?"
"It nearly demolished a whole mountain. Can't believe you were able to make it that much stronger. Not much longer now, and we'll be World Level for sure."
"Right! But first... I wanna meet them."
"Huh?"
"The team. I wanna meet them. Can you bring them here sometime and introduce me?"
"Why so interested in meeting them?"
"Not many people manage to get under your skin so thoroughly. I want to meet the person who can pull that off. Besides, your teammates should know who's been building your Gunpla, right? After all, I could help them with theirs if they needed it."
"You're exerting yourself with the Joker as it is. I don't know if working on so many other Gunpla is a good idea."
"Okay, fine... but if you don't let me meet them I'll refuse to fix the Crossbone Joker!"
"Huh? What? You wouldn't-"
"Oh yes I would."
"...Fine. Tomorrow, I guess."
