Sweet Like Candy

Dumb vs Stupid

Sup y'all, I'm back at it again. There are plenty of people that think women should be treated gently and with respect and I believe Tsubakki would've reacted more severely in the scene where he got Suguro in trouble if Rin were a girl and got kicked in the back by a guy twice her size, even if Rin was the daughter of Satan. So here y'all go, drink up the Respect Women Juice™, bc we all know that Shiro didn't even know what that stuff was and definitely didn't give it to his sons.

It's a shame, too, Kato was originally going to make Yukio a feminist with asthma and I can easily see that. I wish we'd gotten that guy instead of the train wreck we have.

Rin cackled as she ran far ahead of Suguro in the Arena. Suguro was no slouch when it came to speed and was a good distance in front of the Leaper they ran from, so Rin was way ahead. She could go even faster and probably outlap Suguro at least twice, maybe three times. But she couldn't show that she had a ton of demonic traits. The ears were easily hidden with her hair, her fangs weren't inquired about at all, surprisingly, and her tail wrapped around her torso uncomfortably all day until school was out and she could sleep with it out.

"You can be as smart as you like, Suguro, but it's not always going to help you in the real world!" She called back with a grin.

Rin felt something hard hit her dead in the center of her back. Suguro had cut through the space between the Leaper and the column it was attached to by a chain to fucking drop-kick her! Rin flew forward and rolled before sprawling on the ground in the dirt. She was trying desperately not to get up and just let him have it.

"What the hell was that for, are you nuts?!" She yelled at him.

"I'll do whatever it takes to win against you!" He answered, a triumphant grin on his face as he bent over, wheezing.

That turned out to be a mistake for him, because then he was easy prey for the Leaper. Or, at least he would have been, had the instructor not pulled the demon back to the column it was chained to at the last second using its chain.

"What on earth are you two playing at?" Mr. Tsubaki demanded. "Are you trying to get yourselves killed?!"

"What the hell do you mean, 'you two?!' He just drop- kicked me from behind!" Rin shrieked indignantly. The teacher backed off some. He knew Rin was the daughter of Satan and he'd be damned if he pissed her off during his class and got her caught by the other exorcists who had small-minded idea about who was allowed to live free in this world. She was still a young lady, so he moved forward slowly and cautiously to help her up.

"I didn't want to lose to her." Suguro panted. "Even if it killed me!"

"Then you're a fucking idiot and you should be expelled before you get yourself and your entire team killed in the future! If you even make it to Exorcist level, that is! What kinda guy sabotages his own team?!" Rin was still going off on him and Tsubakki stood there patiently next to her after helping her up, waiting for her to finish. Women were scary and if he'd learned anything from his seven year long marriage to his wife, you should never interrupt a woman in the middle of a tirad.

When Rin was done, he instructed her to climb back up to the elevated platform to rejoin her classmates. "Go on young lady, make sure those cuts don't get infected." He murmured to her. She nodded in thanks. Then he turned to Suguro.
