Kid's fingers clawed into the pavement trying to counteract the momentum of his leg. He sill hit the staff, but not as hard as he could have. Besides, bruises could heal far easier than his pride could.

"Marie can help you with the insanity." Kid launched himself into the air, flipping and aiming a hammer kick at Stein's head, though he was already mentally preparing to counter whatever his teacher threw at him next.

He couldn't help but notice how... Bored Stein seemed. Even during Maka and Black Star's fight with him, he seemed to have some sort of passion for what he was doing. This calmness was strangely unnerving. Almost eerier than the insanity. Almost.
