I will say this now, if you don't get accepted but he does, your bro's not going. Either you both get in or niether of you do.

Of course, this could all lead into you trying to push him to be more independent and he decides to do stuff without you.

Yes, Tagged Skills only give an Initial Bonus.

Everytime you level up any tagged Skills or Skills you have Bonuses in will go up by 5. Any Skills you don't have a Bonus or Debuff to will go up by 3. Any Debuffed Skill won't raise at all.

And the symbols have been added.

Well Combat isn't the only thing you get Exp for.

Completing Events, clearing Checks, passing your Test and Classes, keeping up relationships

Basically, you get experience for...getting experience in life. Not just Combat.

Almost missed the vote!

[X]...which is the reason your request to live in one of our dorms with your brother has been accepted. We hope to see you soon.

As much as the independent idea does make some sense to me. I feel that it's a bit too early, both IC and OOC, especially considering the type of relationship that was voted for.

Maybe later on. But I think sticking together would fit best at present. On that note...
Bonus to: Empathy, Martial Arts, and Supernatural
Deductions to: Education, Culture, and Firearms

...It is a really good thing our brother can probably help us mitigate our weaknesses. I expect we will need to invest quite some time into studying.

Especially if we don't want to make combat our only source of XP.

This idea can be applied vice versa as well, if we can help Yamato develop his empathy, well once we have as well.
Just to be clear, you and your Partner's Bonuses, Deductions, and Skill points are all separate for the purposes of training. However, you can ask your Partner to train with you, at which point they will be counted together. In Comat, since you will always be fighting together, this is automatic.

The GM mentioned that training together with the cursed gauntlets, and not separately will fuse our bonus and deductions.

I wonder if same applies to any attempt at cooperative training.

Way I'm doing it is like this:

If you asked your Partner help with building up your Resistance, then your bonuses would work together for that. Specifically, you'd get 10 more points into that Skill than normal.

If you asked your Brother for help building up your Education, then he'd be able to cancel out your Debuff for that Training Session. So you'd get a Normal Skill Point Increase.

However, if you asked either your Brother or the Gauntlets to help you learn Empathy, they wouldn't be able to help you. You'd get no extra points working with them to Train yourself, but you'd be able to cancel out their Debuffs so their Empathy Skills increase at a Normal Level.

But we don't take a penalty of we work with them. Good to know.

Can we do an action where we work with both of them?

*******

We can't get separated from our bro at this point! We've got to stick together for now

On that note. Time to try and analyze the intro! It gave some fairly good clues on the pairs lives.

The wind whips through your blonde hair as you rush through the alleyway. You move on pure instinct, launching you into the air to latch onto the familiar chain link fence separating the dark shortcut from the main street. You pull yourself up and over the obstruction in seconds, your black gloves barely scratched by the rough movement. You land on the balls of your feet, your shoes comfortably bending with them as you take off.

Your black eyes lock on to the washed-out, gray apartment complex across the one way street. A red car honks at you as you keep running across the street. You don't stop as it honks again and the people still waiting for the signal start to gasp and yell in fear and worry. Those emotions swiftly turn to awe as you slide over the car's hood as it comes to a screeching stop right in the middle of the road. Thankfully there were no other cars behind it, so there's no issue. You an apology to the driver as you rush through the open gate of the parking lot.

Hayato is seemingly able to pull off acrobatic moves, with speed that would probably be insanely dangerous. Not quite parkour, but he probably can do it as well. So far, pretty much expected considering his build.
LinkOnScepter said:
You say Hi to Mrs. Nakyama as you stop by the mailboxes on the bottom floor. She mentions how you're looking more like her grandson everyday. You reply that the guy must be damn handsome if he looks like you. You share a chuckle before grabbing the three envelopes from your box, Number 313, and telling her goodbye. You'd offer to help her back to her room, but today you need to get back to your bro and fast.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
1. The brothers must have lived in the apartment complex for quite a while, at least enough time to be familiar with Mrs. Nakyama.
2. Hayato would have been willing to help her, fitting again considering his archetype.
LinkOnScepter said:
"Seven minutes," Yamato's eyes remain glued on the bright screen of his laptop, "You were seven minutes late getting back."

You rolled your eyes, "Come on, man. You're still keeping track of that?"

"I must account for any deviations in previous data to obtain accurate measurements. Show me your head."

You knelt to the green matted floor at your brother's right. He stopped typing and turned to look at you as you lifted the hair covering your forehead with one hand. A few seconds of silence passed before he said, "No discoloration or bruises, thus a fight is unlikely. You took one of your shortcuts."

"Better than taking the train. You know how far the station is from the construction site," you smile smugly while taking a seat next to your bro. You lean over his shoulder to look at his laptop screen and change the subject before he can reply, "What have you been doing?"
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
1. Yamato is showing a need for recording data. Sounds about right.
2. Hayato gets or at least got into enough fights, that this is something Yamato formed a habit of checking.
3. The brothers have been in the area long enough, for Hayato at least to have multiple shortcuts.
4. Hayato probably works at a construction site. That or its one of the jobs he works part time, far from their home. It makes one wonder if Hayato will continue to work. Just how much the scholarship covers, probably relates to that. Especially when one considers outside costs beyond school.
LinkOnScepter said:
His eye follow yours to the mess of blue links lining the white screen. He clicks on one of them before answering, "Performing investigations into our family name to locate any connection to our parents."

Your eyes narrow as you nod, "Any luck this time?"

His eyes dart across the website page before backing out, "No. I've found multiple references to the family name of Nagai, but no records detailing our family specifically."

"Hmm," your frown last for but a second, before you smile and clap your brother on the back, "Ah, don't worry too much, bro! We'll find something about our folks sooner or later."
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
1. The brothers are searching for their parents, as expected. This does confirm that they live alone, probably without direct relatives to contact.
2. One wonders how they managed to pull that off, as possible minors, maybe related to Hayato's work? Maybe Yamato as well.
3. Actually, how old are they...since they are entering Japanese Highschool. Probably around 16.
LinkOnScepter said:
I bring the talking gauntlet up to your face, "don't go acting like my bro hasn't done anything! He's doing great! He'll find something soon I know it."

Your Partner lets a silent moment pass before he continues, "My apologies, my young Lords. I mispoke."

You shake your head in slight disappointment, while your brother tells the talking gauntlet to continue. You're still surprised at how easily he accepted the possessed item's presence when you brought it home. His bored expression didn't crack once when you explained how the gauntlets appeared out of the blue and asked to "bond" with you. Just shrugged and asked your Partner questions he couldn't answer.

The spirit continues, "What I meant was, why limit your search to Lord Yamato's "laptop"? If your wish is to find information, then there are other, more direct ways of obtaining it. And I would be glad to assist you."

"That's an, uh, nice suggestion, Partner...," your laugh does nothing to hide your nervousness.

Your brother picks up on this, "What my brother is trying and failing to say is that your suggestions have a 99% chance of getting us put in jail, or wanted by Law Enforcement."

"And if it doesn't?"

"Then it wouldn't be worth it," both you and your brother say in unison.

You smile and pat the shimmering gauntlet with your other hand, "Don't worry, Partner. We'll find out about our folks. On our own."

"As you wish," the image of the gauntlets disappears within moments. You briefly wonder how long that guy was listening in, before your head perks up.

1. Confirmation on Cursed Gauntlets, and they call us Lords. Personality quirk? Or related to the general treatments partners receive?
2. Considering Cursed Gauntlets Base 40 in Supernatural Knowledge. Those must have been quite complex questions.
3. When Cursed Gauntlets talk, they seem to activate, and turn back to leather, when they stop...we need to find our their name at some point.
4. Our Cursed Gauntlets advise some rather anti-law actions for our search. Fits. Wonder if its possessed by a ghost or formed sapience due to energy.
LinkOnScepter said:
"Oh, almost forgot!" you excitedly stand, finishing your Ramune in one go, and make your way to the kitchen. You rifle through the draws before pulling out two small knives. Then you rush back to your brother's side, this time pulling out the three envelopes and slamming them on the floor between you, "Got the mail! I've got a good feeling about this one!"

Your bro stares at the envelopes on the floor, two of which have silver embroidery trailing along the sides. He closes his laptop before looking at you, "It is highly doubtful your feeling will be true. While the letters might be there, the chances of either of us being accepted is-"

"Don't tell me the odds on this!" you shove one of the embroidered letters into his arms while you take the other. Then you hold one of the knives out to him and shoot him a knowing smile, "On three?"
Click to expand...

Hayato and Yamato intentionally signed up for the Highschool. Fits considering how the Japanese School System works. The fact that they chose this on their own, instead of it being some mysterious group forcing them to join, is still a wonderful fact though.

Though apparently, Yamato didn't think their chances were too high.
LinkOnScepter said:
Dear Nagai Hayato,

After much review and consideration, we at Yokohama Kojin High would be honored to have you attend. Our national Martial Arts division would be to happy have you attend our prestigious institution. We hope that you will enjoy your time with us, as we will certainly enjoy our time with you.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
1. Huh...wonder if that means Hayato will participate in competitions through the school. Maybe future quests?
2. That does bring up the conversation of whether using our monster related martial arts would be allowed...probably not, considering the public is unaware of monsters. That and since Unyielding Mountain Technique requires Cursed Gauntlets to be active alongside us.

An idea I believe applies to all monster source martial arts, unless they can be used without them. But even so, probably a bit too flashy. All things considered. I believe...we may end up using our street fighting instead for official competitions.
LinkOnScepter said:
If you're wondering why a High School allows it's students to live in dorms:

1. You guys chose the Prestigious School. The students who attend are the children of the richest, strongest, and most influential people in the country. Do you really think they wouldn't pull some strings to set things up to ensure their kids get advantages that other High Schools don't? The place is closer to a college than a High School.

Hopefully, there will at least be more than a handful of scholarship students, like the brothers.

Getting Assassination Classroom & Classroom of the Elite Vibes. Which to be fair, probably true on some level.

Wait so a bit of clarification. We get a bonus to training from having a high bond with a character(our bro). Is this bonus active only when we ask them for help? Or is it always 'on' so to speak?

Also as someone who has followed AGG for a while I'm obliged to ask. Is education the path to more AP?

That is always on because it comes from your Relationship.

Not necessarily.

While Education will allow you to unlock the path to better time management, it is not the only way.

If you're extremely clever, you can find easy ways to get cetain tasks finished quickly so you have more time, as an example.

We should meet new people! Sure, most of them will be snobs, but we should still meet them!

He does indeed work construction. Shot to apply almost the instant he turned 16, and could do so without his school finding out.

The questions he asked pertained to the gauntlet's past, and what spirit was inhabiting them.

The spirit doesn't know who it is, so it wasn't able to answer them.

1. Gotcha. In that case. Do the brothers start out with any money? Or is that going to be a non-factor for the most part during the quest?

Since a prestigious school was chosen.

2. Hmm. Do they both know their birthdays? Actually...huh wonder if they are twins. If their mother gave birth to them in the same year.

That or their parents just really wanted children.

Maybe...they are artificial children! Born from the same biological DNA...nah probably not.

Fun to theorize though.

3. Amnesia? A plot hook if I've ever seen one.

4. I've been wondering. Does only Hayato have a class? Or is Yamato's class hidden at the moment. Unless the latters traits are it.

5. Hmm, actually point 2 brings something up. What is your stance on omakes? Well, when we get enough information to write things approaching canon.

Or non canon, semi-canon as well I suppose. Maybe even a ??? aka mystery designation.
