The five were gathered in Set's room discussing what happened during the gang war.
"I still don't get how you were begging for your life one second, and then joking the next." Kazutora commented, leaning back in his chair.
Set had a small smile on his face, even though they got away with a win, they still wanted to make that mistake the focus of their discussion.
"Was that all for the show?" Kazutora asked.

"Yes. I first signaled Kisaki to let him know, and then I saw Hanma coming. I just needed some time and he was clearly an emotional person." Set rolled his eyes as he confirmed again, this time away from the fight.
He had made sure to have been loud enough that Kisaki would've heard him. Set had an even mellow tone but never got close to yelling, it was to sure get Kisaki's attention.
And then when Set saw Hanma approach, he acted like he was pleading so that when Hanma hit the man Set wouldn't be accidentally shot if his hand was still on the trigger.
It was all planned out for his safety if it all went according to plan.

The members were all listening intently with awe to Set's explanation. They were all incredibly impressed with the level of calmness and thinking that Set had in this situation.
Even though the gang war had started without a clear plan, Set was able to come up with one on the spot and it worked.
"You had an incredible level of composure, it was almost impressive." Hanma said to Set, he was still in awe as well, his respect for Set seemed to only be growing the longer they talked.

"That's why you had me be the one to deal with him." Set looked over at Kisaki with mock annoyance. They had agreed earlier that Set would be the most levelheaded for the situation.
While the had a plan to break down the other gang in the fight, they had just hoped that Set would make sure it was never drawn.

"Well, it was the best choice." Kisaki finally admitted after a short amount of silence, he finally seemed to accept that Set was indeed just more capable of handling the situation than him.
"It was the best option we had, and you ended up handling it perfectly." Baji said to Set, he was still smiling as he looked at Set now.
"It's still crazy to me that you got from acting like you were begging for your life to joking seconds later. You are honestly a very impressive man." Kazutora was still impressed by Set's skills.

Set smiled at Kisaki and Baji's compliment, nodding at Kazutora's words. "Having a gun aimed at you gets the blood pumping."His adrenaline was pretty much gone having been a couple hours since everyone had left the scene. He was more or less back to the calm and relaxed demeanor he usually had.

The adrenaline was definitely gone, which made the situation of the gang war much less intense than it had been earlier.
The other four members of Valhalla were feeling similarly, with a level of calmness taking over the mood.
Kisaki seemed to be a little annoyed that Set was so calm now.
"I can't believe how much you enjoy situations like this." Kisaki commented sarcastically, shaking his head at Set.

"This was only the second time something like that happened." Set joked, the other happened before he came to Japan.

The joking atmosphere was definitely welcomed considering how intense the situation had been earlier.
"You've been in a situation like that before?" Kasutora asked, he was quite surprised by the revelation that Set had gone through something similar before.
Kazutora was starting to think of Set even more as a threat if he had been in many situations like the situation with the gang leader.

"Just once, but it was a couple friends." Set nodded simply, usually he wouldn't share so much, maybe it was the effects of the adrenaline Set thought to himself.

The other members were all listening intently, especially now that Set finally revealed that he was talking from experience.
"A couple friends?" Kazutora asked, he hadn't expected that Set would actually have experience in this situation.
Hanma was the next one to comment, looking down at Set with raised eyebrows, he was clearly intrigued by what Set was about to say next.
