Misato glanced at Shinji through the rearview mirror and saw the look of bitter resignation on his face, letting out a sigh.
Both were Qualified, yet the gap between them was so vast.
Now Misato had gained some understanding of Takigakure Village from Ritsuko and knew that its inhabitants were born King of Soldiers.
Unit-01 was also different from other EVAs; Ritsuko had said it had the highest potential.
With these two pieces of information, she could begin to comprehend the terrifying strike from Unit-01 previously.
The people of Takigakure Village were indeed professionals.
After adjusting the rearview mirror and stepping on the gas to speed onto the coastal highway, Misato spoke with a subtle expression,
"Shinji-kun, do you know why your father called you here?"
"Ah? No, I don't know."
Shinji hadn't seen Gendo Ikari for three years and felt a bit uneasy at Misato's question.
