[X] Alright. If he's sure about this, then you're not gonna let him down. Promise him you won't hold back...at least not as much as you already have been.

[X] Take Yato with you. Have one of the twins carry him into the match, just in case you need him.

[X] [Estella SL] Point him towards Estella. While he probably won't be able to get a prosthetic before the next match, it's better than just letting him stay like this. If he does that, then you'll fight him without holding back.

Yeah nah, totally going to throw this guy at someone who will pump him for information. Overly honest people who don't have a Kekikaku-bro on their shoulder like we do are easy meat for manipulations.

Anime rules dictate that he will be crazy strong, so it should be fine.

Does the prosthetic counts as a power up?

Maybe but goku transfer his energy to frieza

While I'm not entirely comfortable having him there on the off chance that an Organization member will spot him, I'm less comfortable with not having him there when our opponent could very well be the monster he sensed (or at least contracted to it).

You shrug while you wait for their replies. Estella and Irina share a look. A silent conversation occurs between them. One that you can't really get a read on. All you see is the movement of their eyes and little else. Then Irina turns to you with a smile, "Yeah, kind of."

That is true.

LinkOnScepter said:
"Hey, the important thing is that you can keep it up in front of the people who want to see it. Makes them think you're on the same wavelength at them. The looks on their faces when they find out you're not," Irina pats Estella's shoulder affectionately. Then she turns back to you, "Anyway, her folks found me out on the streets. Proved I was good in a fight and they took me in. Me and the Princess have been together ever since. Pretty short story, but an important one for me."

Hm, so that's how much they're telling.

LinkOnScepter said:
"To put it simply," Irina shrugs, "we've got no clue who they are or what their deal is. Which is why the Princess wants to go check them out. See if they're on the up and up. Why you asking?"

Hmm, that raises many questions.

LinkOnScepter said:
"Your new benefactors? Yeah, your school didn't actually need that much time to accept them," Irina explains, a frown coming over her face, "While everybody else was reeling from the fight, these guys contacted your faculty. Before the day was out, they struck a deal with the Principal and the rest of the time was used finalizing it."

So basically, they were waiting for a chance to become benefactors.

LinkOnScepter said:
Seteke answers you first, "The Brackets for the Semi-Final Match have been decided. You'll be going up against Amaterasu in the next match, facing off against Tosa for the Finals."

"Amaterasu...their the ones with the other Sole Participant, right?" Seteke nods and you feel a mixture of surprise and excitement fill your heart. You walk over to the front of the room while cracking your knuckles, "Huh. Didn't expect that. Would've thought I would face off against the guy for the Finals. But kind of happy I'll get to face them now. We know anything about them."

Wow, I was certain that we'd meet him at the finals.

LinkOnScepter said:
Those things tell you what this guy is. But there's one thing that takes your attention almost as soon as he steps into the room.

The fact that he's missing his left arm.

Now that's surprising.

LinkOnScepter said:
[Yato Check: Supernatural: The What: 40 + 50 (???) = 90 VS DC ???. Success!]

"There is a high chance. I can sense...sense something. Something similar to my kind. It was in this room for a moment, but has since left. I believe it is dangerous. And possibly hidden amongst the humans here."

Worrying, since we don't really know anything about them. And where that +50 came from.

I fear this might be an attempt to have has break our cover, but not sure. While I'm not sure how much good a prosthetic he would just have gotten would be, I see that this is something Hayato would offer. And having one of the twins carry Yato is good, we get him close by without breaking rules or drawing attention.

This is the best case scenario, I'd say. More likely, they instigated the incident that gave them a chance to become benefactors.

If that is the case, wouldn't Agano and Hiroko have mentioned something about there being a third party, since they were the ones behind the attack?

Missing the question mark, I think.

I don't like the implicit breaking of the promise in the wording where we accept the match. The guy doesn't know what he is asking, but that's not a reason to promise something and then hold back anyway.

You're not though. That's not what I meant when I wrote it. I mean, it's not like he knows you brought yourself up to supernatural levels.

Specifically, he's asking that you don't hold back on account of him missing an arm. He's dealt with that before and doesn't like it.

Yeah. It could have been an interesting dilemma, to risk revealing ourselves, or to give an undeserved insult due to misunderstanding.

It's not like one can tell the difference between "holding back on account of missing an arm" and "holding back on account of having supernatural arts", so long as they can tell you are holding back at all.

Otherwise I don't see a dilemma at all. The guy got here on his own merits, and already won over another school's star fighters, which places him in the top percentile of competitors. To underestimate him for an injury is not just dismissive and arrogant, it's also stupid. Hazma has given us a lesson in humility barely an hour ago, and I doubt it was forgotten already.

It wasn't. But Hayato is a pretty nice guy and this was kind of dropped on him out of the blue. He's trying to process it.

As for Kuziwa, he's doing this cause he felt like it was needed. He's never met Hayato before, but has experienced people underestimating him on account of his arm. Even in his last match against Satsuma, where his opponents at first refused to fight him. So, to avoid that, he came straight to you to ask.

Sorry if it's not great. I thought it made sense at the time.

Fingers crossed that someone doesnt detect him and assume that whoever is carrying him is the owner/partner and paint a target on their back.
