-First week of classes are under way. Some people have already come across Reimu assisting various training courses. He doesn't seem to do much of anything but sit on the sidelines and eat and be a human shield when needed. But he has a few things to say, regardless.-

This just goes out to all the new children of the atom who are chomping at the bit to get into training to start becoming the new generation of heroes. -What was with that word choice...-

You all have your reasons for doing this. When I was your age, it was almost out of a sense of obligation. You see, my mother was the Hakurei Miko, and some of you Japanese students may have heard of her. I felt like it was a huge responsibility I needed to fulfill, to become worthy as her successor and fight alongside the X-Men just like she had before I was born...

Well. That didn't work out from me. I was cut from my team, demoted, and forced to start over again from scratch. To find a motivation that wasn't set in doing something just because I felt like I was supposed to. To find my own identity and reasons for fighting.

My advice to people who are still uncertain about things... Find something out there you want to protect. And think long and hard about what you're willing to do in order to protect it.

Kannushi out. -And he ends the feed.-

[She laughs quietly at how he says it.]

Well, it's the second day, and I've yet to be shot. A dramatic improvement over last move-in, I'd say.

[musou_tensei]

No problem students yet?

[aile_noire]

Not yet. Emphasis on 'yet.'

Though I'm wondering what I should do with the inevitable miscreants. Think I could call it an educational experience if I toss them out the window? [Yeah, Janaff told her.]

[musou_tensei]

Please don't.

... Or at least don't do it with me around. I might get flashbacks.

[aile_noire]

Oh, don't be so dramatic. It couldn't have been that bad.

[musou_tensei]

It was. How'd you like it if I tossed YOU out a window?

[aile_noire]

Please. I started teaching myself to fly at ten by jumping off the balconies. [That isn't normal, Remilia.]

Besides, it worked, didn't it?

[musou_tensei]

That's not the point. I would have vastly preferred different methods.

[aile_noire]

[She gives a hum.]

Naturally. But would you have learned so quickly, otherwise?

Some people learn with gentle encouragement. And—pardon me for a moment—others learn with a kick to the ass.

[musou_tensei]

Mm... Yeah, whatever. Point is, just don't get in trouble.

[aile_noire]

If I was you, I'd worry about Marisa more than me. But, if I must be serious, I can promise I won't do anything of the sort. It's unprofessional to do anything of that sort to a beginner.

[There is a very specific keyword in there.]

[musou_tensei]

"To a beginner"?

[aile_noire]

Did I say something amiss?

[musou_tensei]

... Nevermind.

If you come across anyone that'd make good candidate material, lemme or Flan know.

[aile_noire]

Is there anything in particular that you're looking for?

[musou_tensei]

Mostly a good attitude. Skills can be taught. ... Talent helps, but the attitude is definitely the most important thing.

[aile_noire]

Rest assured, anyone dashingly heroic will be directed your way.

[musou_tensei]

I said good attitudes, not idiots.

[aile_noire]

Don't blame me if I have trouble differentiating the two.

[musou_tensei]

You can't possibly think of me as "dashing".

... If that was meant as a jab at me.

[aile_noire]

Don't twist my words.


...I assume my sister is returning to your team?

[musou_tensei]

She is... She still cares about fighting. For you, specifically.

[aile_noire]

[Her reply dies in her throat. She and Flandre and her parents have discussed the subject at length, and Remilia still makes it known every step of the way that she objects, but that last bit? It'd be beyond hypocritical to argue with that.]

[musou_tensei]

... I promised you I'd look after her. I intend on keeping that promise.

[aile_noire]

Don't 'intend.' Do.

[Only a few years ago, that would have been followed up with a threat of bodily harm. But, this was Flandre's decision, now.]
