Blind Justice

"This place is quite comfortable. just enough light, not to many people. Hey, it's even quite cool here, must be all that wind between your ears." Maybe a little rude, but Reece was trying to see how far he could go, before this boy eventually reacted.

"Eating chocolate is bad for your health, but people still do that, too." He countered.

It seemed he was getting close to making him angry if that comment was anything to go by. "Yeah, I think I agree with you."

Reece grinned. "At least I'd see the tree before you do." This one might be interesting to see the reaction.

((I'd get slaughtered if I said this IRL))

Reece heard the threat, and was honestly a little disappointed, hoping for something else to happen. He was getting himself into deep water, but he didn't care. "So you weren't looking for a fight? Doubt you are actually able to."

He took a step forward and was barely an inch closer. "You're right, this is a much better spot to read." He looked at his book and pretended to dramatically read a few pages.

Damn, that was a clean blow. Reece saw the power fluctuate, but hadn't any time to react before the fist connected with his chin, sending him flying into the grass.

Bingo. Anger achieved. He grinned, rubbing his jaw. "I was waiting for that to happen. But is that all you got? Some lousy punch? Didn't you come to this island, having some immense power? I did, and I know you do too. I can feel it."

"I'm testing you." He laughed. "To see what it takes. And please, find some better insults." His book lay on the ground, pages sprawled everywhere. He closed the book and placed it on the concrete path neatly. It was from the library, he didn't want it to get ruined.

Standing up, he eyed the boy's power. Regulated. Most of it was withheld, meaning that there had to be much more than just enhanced senses. And he was going to find out, whatever it took.

"You'd be surprised what I can find out. Right now, I can see that you are holding something back." He wiped some blood off his cheek. "Why, is it something that ruined your life? Or are you just above it, thinking that it makes things too easy?"
