Basically, yeah.
For the update, I would say the Tournament Prologue.
And the write ins are fine, though probably won't do much.
I will update the SLs sometime today.

Actually, make the updates to the SLs this weekend. I've got some stuff to do this week that will stop me.

And here's everything from us or Yato that passed, or looked like a pass, without being an Autopass that I noticed.
Also we did get the Sensei SL after all!
Is Resistance supposed to be there twice @LinkOnScepter ?

It isn't. And thanks.
Like I said in the update, you do have Sensei but as a teacher he won't train you while you're injured.

Because everyone's voting to focus on training, but I'm in a socializing mood so I can't vote for any of them, which means I need to make my own vote.
edit: Just noticed that, by sheer coincidence, I picked two people who already know we're injured, plus someone we can actually be honest about how we got injured with.
edit2: vetoed, and not up to adjusting it to actually work right now even if i knew how

OK. I went back and counted. You got about +20 XP in total.

In your defense, Link doesn't always read before giving reactions; I mean, he outright admitted he didn't read my suggestion on what to do with the catgirl when I first showed up here until he quoted it.
So... yeah, while I think my vote should work, I can't 100% guarantee it until he actually says something on the topic.

Alright, I decided to do an omake about my favorite bakeneko (creation bias after all). I already discussed it with Link so he said it was okay to put up.
Also, expect grammar errors.
You're name is Kazama Yuki, a Bakeneko who was living in a secret lair inside Kirin High, a place that you and anyone else would agree to be a cesspool filled with the loudest, dumbest, most violent children in Japan.
You had a very comfy life inside your little spot you called home. Unfortunately for you, anonimity was an advantage you lost a little bit over a week ago when two boys from Raijin and the arrogant kumiho found you. Luckily for you, they were just nice fellas (with the exception of that irritating canine!).
However, ever since then your mind and emotions were constantly spinning and you felt your chest hurt whenever you thought about that boy, Yamato.
You just couldn't help it! You finally found someone smart enough to keep up with you! Talking to him was a breath of fresh air. A true delight! You actually met someone you wanted to hang out with, even if it meant leaving your precious home for a few good hours and risking the eyes of the organization spotting you.
Well, you'd have to be extra careful to make sure the latter doesn't happen.
Of course, the only downside is that the kumiho knows where you are and the two of you made it clear that you don't like each other. How dare she suggest that you didn't care for your fellow Yokai and monsters?! The gall of that woman!
You also weren't going to forget how she drooled over seeing Pon-Pon, Momo and Sacho. Yeah, you saw that and you weren't letting her near them out for fear that she would eat them out of spite.
Whatever, you weren't going to spend your entire day being angry over a woman who didn't deserve your attention. You had plenty to do otherwise.
You learned from your encounter with Yamato's... not-so-stupid brute of a brother? (was that a good way to refer to him?) You now knew that you needed to improve your skills both with illusion and fighting, if worst comes to worst.
You're illusions were good, but apparently not good enough. While that brute Hayato was nice, she had to be prepared in case the Organization found her. She couldn't afford to rely on luck.
Your skills at hand-to-hand combat were... never the best, even when you were younger and surrounded by your kin. Now, while you remembered the moves, were far too eroded. That definitely needed some fixing.
But all of that was far too time consuming and needed you to go outside, so you could only think of how to integrate it into your daily routine. At the moment you could just work on getting a bit more extra cash for now.
As you went on your laptop, you decided to surf a little bit online. It only took you about 10 minutes before something caught your eye: an article about an incident in some school martial arts tournament which occured a day or two ago.
You skimmed it until the name Raijin popped up, causing your eyes to widen slightly. This made you go back and start reading it carefully.
From what you could tell, something happened during the semifinal, but with the lack of information on what happened and no real agreement between eye witnesses was a certain indicator for the nature of the event being supernatural.
You're certain that the Organization were having their claws over any bit of information they might've gotten, and no doubt that that boy, Hayato was in the middle of all this.
Well, if this wasn't a reason to call Yamato to talk to him, then what was? You were certainly happy that the two brothers called you so that you saved their numbers into your phone.
You listened to the phone ringing as you noticed your tail moving from side to side. Why were there so many feelings running in your chest?!
"Hello, Kazama-san." you heard his voice, making you hitch your breath for a second.
What were you doing?! You weren't some love-struck teenage girl, so you just needed to calm down and get a grip.
"Hello. I saw an article about something related to some martial arts tournament Raijin was a part of?" you said with you impassive and emotionless mask, allowing yourself to settle down and push down any excitement. "I assume the event involved a supernatural entity?"
"Ah, yes. It was quite the troublesome event, and Hayato got badly hurt." he explained as he started to tell you everything that happened before and during the event itself. The fact that an Oni decided to pop out of someone's arm wasn't surprising, but it sicked and infuriated you nonetheless.
He also told you about his two senpai, and you definitely heard about the girl he referred to as "Estelle-senpai". Only someone living under a rock wouldn't have heard of her, despite her being a recluse. But the fact that she probably had a supernatural partner and helped Yamato during the whole thing was a surprise.
"So now your saying that she wants to meet with you and every supernatural being you've met or any allies that you've made beforehand?" you inquired.
"Indeed. While I believe it would be benefitial to you if you attended, I do not wish to force this on you. If you wish not to come, then I'll accept it." he told you with his own impassive tone, but you felt the sincerity in his voice.
Well... you didn't know how they could benefit from you being there, but you could benefit quite a bit on the Organization's moves within Raijin.
"Why should I trust them. It sounds rather suspicious to me." you told him as you brought up a very good point.
"You're not wrong not to. Though Hayato is willing to trust them, and I trust Hayato. Also, I'm certain that the bodyguard, Irina, is a supernatural creature herself, though I don't know which. If I'm right, then Estelle-senpai would do what it takes to protect her, which means going against the Organization. If that's the case, then they deserve some degree of trust... or at least giving them the benefit of the doubt."
As you listened to his explanation, you couldn't help but to agree with him. You simply sighed silently before answering. "Alright, I'm willing to come. Just know that I'm not commiting to anything more than that."
"Understandable."
It was then that you skimmed at the article again and the word "Tournament" popped up right in front of your lazy gaze that an idea quickly came to mind.
"Hey, Yamato-san?"
"What is it?" he asked.
"I remembered that you also have a tournament as well, right? A chess tournament?" you asked him, waiting for an answer.
"I do, in fact? Why the inquiery?" he asked, curiosity barely noticeable in his voice.
You scratched your chin lightly. "Well, I thought maybe you would want an outsider's opinion regarding your strategies? I'm more of a Shogi person myself,but I learned enough about chess that I know how to play it. In addition, you said you're not well versed in creating a plan before a situation becomes a problem. I believe that I can be skilled enough to aid you with that."
You waited for a few seconds for his response, scratching faster and faster as your ears catching the cats' hungry cries. You needed to feed them soon.
"You make excellent points, Kazama-san. Very well, I accept." that was all you needed to hear to pump your fist in celebration. Then next few minutes passed as the two of you simply talking about setting this new arrangement before ending the call.
As you finished the call you stretched and yawned before feeding your beloved little family.
"Pon-Pon, Momo, Sacho, I might finally make a new friend." you told them with a smile on your face while they were focused on eating.
[Meanwhile in the Nagai household]
As Yamato ended the call, he returned to doing what he was working on before the bakeneko called.
"Hey, bro, what'cha doing?" Hayato asked as he passed by, still wincing from the pain from the injuries that he had suffered.
Yamato turned to look at his brother. "You shouldn't be moving yet, Hayato."
"Come on, you know better than anyone else that I can't just stay still." Hayato said with a grin.
The more stoic Nagai brother sighed. "I suppose so. In other news, I managed to convince Kazama Yuki to come to the meeting." he informed the older of the two.
"Huh, really?"
"Yes, she called and asked about the event at the tournament. I simply informed her of everything that happened and about the incoming meeting." he said with his usual impassive tone.
"Wait, she called you?" the injured Nagai brother asked, to which he only got a nod. This simply caused Hayato's grin to widen. "Bro, you sly dog." he said as he moved towards the left room, leaving Yamato perplexed as he tilted his head and blinked.

Well, I voted for Wisdom and Charisma because I was expecting more than two plans, and because it is a good plan, but I really want to see the Supernatural All-20....
But also we're heading into a big meet up talk....
Ah screw it, I can't let the people who voted for my plan down!
[X] Plan: Relaxing Is Training Right?
-[X] Train with Yamato
--[X] Supernatural: Persons of Interest (The Who)
---[X] This is blatantly a cover to hang out and watch anime with our Bro.
-[X] Train with Yato
--[X] Resistance: Spiritual
---[X] Heart to Heart, Spirit to Spirit, it looks like we need to have a chat with Yato about what all that was.
-[X] Call up Hose and see if he wants to Train/Hang Out
--[X] Perception: Environment
---[X] This is blatantly a cover for taking a walk and giving Hose the opportunity to bring up whatever Sensei stopped him from talking about when we just got back.
Tie broken.

I don't like to do this, but people, please, lets put some training finally into the main things - aside from fighting - that we're supposed to be good at, instead of dipping little bit constantly into other skills that aren't as important. Especially with the big meeting right around the corner.

I Like how our education is higher then either our empathy and speech.
We really need those up, and i dont know why we would train anything else at this moment.

We really need those up, and i dont know why we would train anything else at this moment.
If I recall correctly, education ended up higher because we had a period where we desperately focused on studying so we don't fail, much like we desperately focused on martial arts so that we could do the tournament.
Basically we're prone to mono-focusing as needs come up, and steadily working on building our stats is something we do when we don't desperately need one stat or another higher for plot reasons.

It was more that we ended up overtraining those stats for the situations and to get those All-perks. We didn't need that high Education to not fail, like we didn't need to get all our MAs that high to win the tournament.
