There was a lot of nodding and gestures of agreement, a few knowing looks, and a grin. It wasn't as if Arata was praising his genjutsu, but far too often people simply wrote it off as tricks and illusions, not as impressive as a fireball or a big sword.
"I personally prefer to use it in less direct ways. I like to test myself, sure, but in real situations that aren't sparring, it's quite different. Most times a target never knows I'm there, and when they realize something is wrong it's too late. It's also easy to hide in plain sight when I can quite literally hide in plain sight, making someone unable to see me right in front of them if I so choose."
His explanation was turning into a bit of patting himself on the back, but that was nothing new. As they were talking and as he was explaining, he had managed to get his clothes situated back to a more dignified state, looking like he had never fought in the first place. He was a bit sweatier than he started, and a bit of dirt here and there, but otherwise he looked comfortable if not a bit overdressed.
Stopping in the middle of adjusting his coat, he looked up and gave another heavy nod.
"That is true. Invincible is a myth. It's simply a different means to an end."
Going back to his clothes, he was smoothing out wrinkles, making sure buttons were in place, almost obsessing over things being in just the right place. Looking back up he caught Arata staring and followed his gaze to the statues, and began staring himself, before giving a slight bow towards them.
"No doubt we'll meet again. Appreciate the distraction while it lasted."
His exit wasn't near as dramatic, as he simply turned and walked away in no particular direction as if he had no destination in mind.
