Nico's over-the-top reaction had, understandably, elicited a  little giggle from his new partner; at the sound of which, Nico crossed his arms, and turned away with a prompt<span style="font-style: italic">hmph.</span>At this point, he looked less like an aggressor, and more like a child angry that he wasn't being taken seriously. He continued to pout in this manner as Aika showcased her amazement. Miyuki's innocent response to the praise almost brought Nico to the point of erupting in frustration, as in unison with Aika's response he dropped his arms, yelling "<span style="color: #FF4040">yes!</span>" just as she had. The hero,<span style="font-style: italic">annoyingly,</span>didn't seem to think her actions were such a big deal; but to the comparatively inexperienced sidekicks, it was almost incomprehensible. After such a display, Nico felt he deserved to know the secret of just how she'd gotten to that level of saving the day, and to his delight, she wouldn't hesitate in handing it over.<br/><br/>As Shadow Angel tossed some foreign term their way, Nico shook his head to indicate he'd never heard of such a concept. Coming to attention, he became very alert to each following word that spilled from the hero's mouth, emerald hues focused intently. Once she actually began, however, he quickly went from attentive and inquisitive, to eyes narrowing in confusion. He did his best to process the information, which wasn't as difficult a concept as the initial term may have led him to believe. He wasn't a<span style="font-style: italic">complete</span>idiot, so after Shadow Angel had put it into simple words, it all began to click together. Such a simple breakdown was easy to understand, once she got rid of those pesky<span style="font-style: italic">fancy words</span>.<br/><br/>Unlike Aika, Nico rarely multitasked on any level. But, as they were currently demonstrating, keeping a conversation while staying alert was easy enough. He could at least do that, so maybe all hope wasn't lost. As Aika then chipped in, giving her own understanding of the concept, Nico soaked in the volunteered information like a sponge. It all made sense now; he just had to find a starting point, and work his way up! Of course, in Nico's case, he'd probably severely over-estimate himself and end up bite off way more than he could chew. But, that was neither here nor there. Having a newfound understanding of Shadow Angel's multitasking process--and knowing she wasn't some actually some sort of goddess--his overwhelming confidence suddenly returned. "<span style="color: #FF4040">Ahh, alright! I think I get it,</span>" he spoke with a cheery grin, in a laidback posture bringing his hands to hammock gently the back of in his head. "<span style="color: #FF4040">That doesn't sound so bad.</span>"
