Ijemaru had been just about to respond to the boy when<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>was grabbed by the collar and dragged away. It happened so fast that he didn't really resist, just let out a small yelp when he was grabbed and a slight oof when he was thrown against a wall. As he half-listened to what the hunter was saying, he blew a strand of hair out of his face.<br/><br/>Ijemaru may have been completely pissed off a moment ago, but he was still intelligent and wasn't def to reason. "I suppose," he said, standing up, "that you had a few good points in there. Perhaps I can be calm for a moment and see if the boy reacts well to that. But no," he said, putting his hands in his pockets and staring the hunter square in the eyes. "You have no idea what you're doing. The demon toxins are<span style="font-style: italic">toxic</span>. If you continue on this binge and purge cycle, you<span style="font-style: italic">will</span>die. Beyond that, you'll have to get used to using your powers. There's a point where demons become to strong to be affected by any man-made weapons, and abilities become your only weapon. But of course, having graduated, you already knew that, didn't you?"<br/><br/>Calmly, and without any sign of his previous anger, Ijemaru made his way back into the room holding the boy. "Sorry about that little interruption," he said, sitting down in a chair. He took the same position as before, but was speaking more calmly. "As for the ninetails, while you're correct, fox spirits are not demons, when a fox has<span style="font-style: italic">nine</span>tails, it is more commonly referred to as the demon fox. It's still technically a spirit, but at that point it begins to produce demon toxins."<br/><br/>"It's wonderful that you can control your powers," he went on, "but how much do you really know about them? Are you even aware that each hunter gets<span style="font-style: italic">side effects</span>to go along with their powers? Often times, it's these that threaten to do more damage to one's fellow humans than the powers themselves."
