Wrath: Damn thing, always ruining my fun.

The shadow curls around him, and he vanishes. Red closes his eyes and comes back to his senses. He looks at Kota. Kota has an unsatisfied look on his face.

Kota: Odd.

--- Chapter 80 ---

Red: What's odd?

Kota: Uh, it's nothing. Now, it seems it's going to be a bit more difficult for you to use beast mode, so we will start off with something more simple.

Geno begins laughing to himself.

Red: What, got something to say huh?!

Geno: No no, it's nothing.

Red: No, say it.

Geno: You couldn’t even come close to synergy. And it's so simple hahaha.

Red: Why you!

Kota: Now now, everyone is born with an affinity to a certain type of path. Beast just isn't yours ahaha.

Geno: Yah, maybe you should start off with making two swords instead of one AHAHA!

Red: Woah I can do that?!

There's a sparkle in his eye.

Geno: You gotta be kidding me.

Kota: Oh boy.

Red: What?

Kota: I see the old man hasn’t taught you anything. I guess he really was serious about what he said all those years ago. Either way, it seems your thoughts on your weapon are too solid.

Red: I don't get it.

Kota: Well your thinking is way too straightforward and solid. You think since you only have one insignia, you can only make one sword. But it's not that simple, make your thoughts loose. Let them flow like a river. Insignia’s aren't a solid concept. They are capable of so much. So don't limit it to what your eyes see, and what you think its limits are.

Red: I see. Come to think of it, I did summon a lot of swords… when I was like that.

Kota: Like what?

Red: It doesn't matter. Let me try!

He puts his hand out. He closes his eyes and uses his insignia. The insignia crawls down his arm, and the tail begins to split in two. It then forms into a single blade with two handles.

Geno: Pfft HAHAHA!

Red: Oh shut up!

Kota: Well it's not that bad. Not good, but not bad.

Red: Sigh

Kota: Don't worry, I’ve trained worse!

Red: Was that supposed to make me feel better?

Kota: Ehe, sorry about that. Either way, it's not a lost cause. I am the water saint afterall.
