I Wonder

Ryu's wrist flexed and the ball of milky light bounced as though it was a ball before landing on his palm again. 

'Fascinating, truly fascinating. Is this why I couldn't use my second set of Meridians all this time? No wonder, no wonder… I never thought that this would be the reason.' 

Ryu never expected that the answer he was looking for would actually be accidentally given to him by the Ruin Master Guild. 

If they knew the kind of mistake they had made this time, just what kind of reaction would they have? 

Unfortunately for them, very soon, it would be very much too late for them to regret it. 

The ball of white in Ryu's hand vanished in a swirl of black, being sucked into his Inner World. 

If he absorbed that now… where would there be any fun left to be had?
