To the point where you don't even notice Yameko wrapping one of her tails around your shoulders until after Yato says something about it. Even then you don't move because you're too focused on your inner peace.
He truly has achieved an inner peace, able to ignore the fluffy tail.
You start to see the benefit of letting the blow "slide" off your skin rather than take it head on and take more damage.
Thorfinn style of fighting.
You'll need to figure out a new way to train your physical resistance, but you have at least learned the technique. Should be able to take a punch better than ever.
Interesting.
By the time you're done you understand what motivates both the less fortunate and the prosperous. And you've started on gauging why people lie to each other.
It also seemed to help Yamato. When it came to answering the dilemmas, he'd always default to some logical probability or easily rationalized reason behind them. While this meant he had a higher chance of being right, he wasn't able to account for every possible reason under the sun...especially the irrational ones. Through explaining those you ended up furthering his understanding of why people do irrational things.
Very useful to have, for both of us.
Or they're stuck in their rooms doing...whatever the children of rich people do in their off time.
Swim in their money, of course.
And judging by how she kept sighing, checking her nails, and shooting glares at Yunagi, she was not happy to be there. In fact, you'd hazard she got brought here while doing something important to her. Wonder how he got her to come here then? Does she go to this school too? Cause if so, why can she walk around with nothing but bandages around her chest, but you get crap for undoing a few buttons?
This, Hayato, is what we call a delinquent.

But...somehow...you knew he was bluffing.
Well not entirely.
He would leak the information if Yunagi didn't listen. You've known him long enough to know he's not lying about that.
But it's a no-brainer that taking down Mondo Circuits won't only hurt Yunagi. A bunch of people who have nothing to do with this will lose their only way to make a living. Anyone who knew that and still went ahead with giving the information to a company rival was someone with no empathy whatsoever.
And that's what Yamato's trying to get Yunagi to believe. That he doesn't care about the collateral damage.
Our bro is a good guy.
[Yamato Empathy Check: Motives: 24/30: Fail!]
Damn.

Nice. Really lucky we decided to train it now.
#s > 50 bring in characters that would be more friendly to you guys. Since you got a 72, you got his sister who happens to be a combat junky.
And yes, she's a social link for you guys.
I am absolutely surprised.
Unless she starts kicking our ass and getting bored. Then escalate I guess to provide a good fight.
That is the '[] Use your own abilities for a bit. Switch to the Mountain if you have to. Be adaptive and ready for anything.' -vote. You're voting for not escalating in case she starts kicking our ass.
If she sees us using supernatural powers, I could see it inspire her to go look for supernatural martial arts of her own, giving us a love interest rival who increases in power like us. Sort of like Kuwabara from Yu Yu Hakusho or Ai Mori from Law of Ueki or Umemiya Ryunosuke from Shaman King.
Unless she actually knows about the supernatural, she'd have no way of knowing we're using a mystical martial art, especially at our level.
The only real sparring type of moveset that we have is mma which is only at 5.
Street fighting doesn't seem good for friendly sparring. Seems more useful for multiple enemies or to take down a very dangerous enemy with everything at our disposal.
Street fighting works for sparring. It is an all goes style, your entire body and everything around you is a weapon. Roughly it is a less refined and dirtier version of what MMA is meant to be. Just like with any martial art, you can use it in a way not meant to actually harm your opponent, and in this world every fighting style is a martial art.
[X] Sure thing! You get to hang with your bro and his new friends!
[X] Use your own abilities for a bit. Switch to the Mountain if you have to. Be adaptive and ready for anything.
