STEEPING FORWARD AND TOUCHING THE MAN ON HIS SHOLDER THEN WALKING AWAY AND SAYING YOU AIN'T SHIT. WHILE NOZARU WALKS AWAY, THE MAN aims out of spite to fire his gun. Nexus realizes this and says Old drunk watch and then bang the sound echoes throughout the bar. People rush out if they haven't already left at the start of the commotion. OLD DRUNK MAN, ARE YOU DEAD? RISING FROM WITHIN IN THE GUN SMOKE NOZARU LOOKS STRAIGHT FORWARD WITH THE BULLET NO WHERE TO BE SEEN WITH A CHAIR ON THE FLOOR BUT AS SOON AS AI TRIES AND PICK UP THE CHAIR THAT FELL IN THE DISTRESS OF THE GUN IT FELL RIGHT BACK DOWN THIS WHOLE INSTACE HAPPEND DUE TO A LEG ON THE CHAIR TIP BEING SLIGLITLY BROKEN AI THEN NEW WHERE THE BULLET HAD GONE SHE TURNED AROUND TO INSPECT THE ROWDY MAN AND TO HER SUPRISE THEIR WAS A GAPING SHOT IN HIS UPPER LEG AI GASPED HOW AND NOZARU REPLIRD WITH A LAUGH ANDB THEN SILENCE PONDERING HOW YOU ASK WELL DO YOU WANT THE ACTUALK ANSWER OR BULLSHIT. UM THE ATUAL ANSWER WELL I KNEW WHERE HE WAS GOING TO SHOOT BECAUSE I COULD TELL BY HIS SLUGGISH MOVEMENTS THE WAY THE GUN WAS AMIMED HIS CONFIDECE THE SWEAT RUNNING DOWN HIS FACE HOW the gun WAS HARDELY STILL TOGETHER I CALULATED ALL OF THAT INTO A FORUMLA OF SHITTY SHOT THEN EASY LOOKING AT MY SUROUNDINGS I COULD I FOUND A chair now I sacrificed it by bending backwards to avoid the shots trajectory flipped up the chair at a exactly 0.015 seconds from when the gun was shot and flipped the chair to reach the bullet in those exact 0.03 seconds and then then cling bounce in off the edge and an the man's leg. Is that even possible for you? Are you even human? Well yes, I am so maybe that was the bullshit answer nexus looks at Nozaru how did you do that I just told you no not that I want to know how anybody should be able to calculate at speeds like that well I should ask you the question you fell out of the sky how did you do that and survive I don't know crying in the background trying to Nozaru says where do you think you're going you didn't pay I... I don't have any money. Well, you drank a lot, asking for more and more is greed, now let's punish this greed. You either have 2 options: we go to the Neural Compliance Agency, or you work for me to pay off your debt. I don't want to go to the code dogs, alright, I'll work for you, but I'm in so much pain, can you get me to the hospital crawl what I said, crawl it's down the street, it's not like you're going to a different grid now, move along and crawl. He did. Now kid what were we talking about the impossible oh yeah that well I don't know what hole you have been living in to not know you're a Syncer a what now a Syncer a human that formed a bond with a technology like you and the princess over their I want to be able to use my power like that what are you getting at little one you seem pretty strong can you teach me how to use my power wow you really seem to want to learn yeah I do that's nice but I don't care what I don't why would I take time out of my day to train you if you can give me goal to strive to then maybe always remember ambition without a goal isn't really ambition. Ambition, you say, yep, to make sure no one has to suffer the same fate as me, for all those who live in fear and for all those who don't, I want them to have the choice to live their own reality. Wow, Nozaru says YOUR IDEALS ARE SHIT,
