Says a lot about you're people if they worship lazy little pricks-

[There is a part of Johnny that does want to push through this, despite the fact that he's quite aware would probably get his ass kicked or die if he did. He wasn't the type to back down from a fight and he had pushed for this one.

But there is another part of him that realizes he's just got the answer he was looking for. Kaworu had to be pushed to get there but he had a killer instinct in there that could defend his student if needed.

More just to show that he can he makes one final assault on the pressure of Kaworu's AT field before he does actually back off. He's still ready to fight if Kaworu pushes on the attack from here but it's a step Johnny doesn't usually take.]

Guess you aren't as much of a pussy as I thought.

You passed the test, kid.
