Nikoda relaxed his muscles as Kaiyo replied. He answered, "Tensugata won't talk to me, but I'll try. I guess that's what really matters in the end."

At the mention of Squad 4, "I will." Nikoda attempted a courteous smile but it turned out a creepy smile, due to his awkwardness of him never using his smiling muscles.

"You excellently as well, even though you could have crushed me like an ant." Pai Mei chuckled, and when Nikoda turned to look at him like he was an alien, for he had never heard the old man laugh, Pai Mei hit him in the head again. Nikoda balled up his fist, but Pai Mei was too quick, he grabbed Nikoda by the ear and dragged him to Squad 4.

The old Kung Fu master said as he walked off, "We'll leave the bokken throwing girl alone." He turned to glare at her for a second then continued dragging Nikoda. "Plus, the faster I turn you into a real Shinigami, the faster I don't have to see your Dog face." One of Nikoda's hands was on his ear, trying to pry Pai Mei's hand from his ear. His other hand waved goodbye to Kaiyo.
