In hindsight. The fact that two out of three tagged skills for Hayato aka Spiritual Resistance, and Street Fighting are already Class Bonuses is a bit of a waste. Though on the bright side, they did allow for the character backstory to work better, all things considered. It fits the narrative.The greater bonus takes Precedent in that case, so it would only get a +5.
This seems like a situation where all Skill Caps Upgrade to 150, not just specific ones.The Standard Cap is 100. This is for most characters.
You can get a Cap of 150 if you complete certain events.
Your brother will start with a cap of 150 and can upgrade it to 200. Cause he's the Protagonist.
Gotcha. Hmm, I could see the Griffin one working well with UMT.As a bit of a heads up, Supernatural Martial Arts can't work with each other normally. Certain ones are just way too different to be able to mix well in Combat. So having all 50s in two Supernatural Martial Arts won't give you much.
But again, I said normally. There are exceptions.
Though all things considered, we probably shouldn't be thinking of picking up even more partners...we have enough to train up as we are now.Martial Art: Shouting Hurricane Style - By combining the force of one's blow with the force of one's voice , the practitioner can strike with the power of the wind behind his every attack. The user's voice must be powerful enough to create such forceful winds, thus having large lungs, an eccentric personality, or a beautiful singing voice are required to use this style. Corresponding Skill: Speech
...Weird thought, I am kind of surprised Yamato didn't somehow get into a situation where he partnered with a monster during his time away from Hayato, looking at the clubs. Guess we do have some time before things get into high gear. Nice.

I see. Its a good thing Yato is pretty easy to hide, in that he literally appears to be leather gloves most of the time...I can't even imagine how the brothers would have helped hide all our other choices other than the Griffin.Part of it is because you guys chose to have the Public not know that Monsters exist + the Secret Organization.
Due to that, Monsters aren't going out of their way to get human partners, even if it would increase their power. Cause there's always a chance that they'll fuck up and run into a member of the Organization (Name Pending), or get saddled with a weak/stupid Partner who will get them caught.

The Griffin appears to be an eagle, so probably justifiable as having a bird as a pet. Assuming they are okay with that idea.
Hmm...actually, do monsters have a 'human' form or 'astralized' form? To aid in hiding?
Do either of the Brothers know how monster society usually operates? Or rather the unspoken rules. Did Yato tell them anything about it?
Alright Imma make a prediction, we'll either: meet someone at the library. Or it's just going to be us and our bro. My free time event's senses are saying the latter.
We can!?Forgot to mention, you guys can choose to train a Skill on the Weekend if you want.
Its fine. IRL is most important. (Don't have a QQ Account).
We can!?
Should we add it in our previous vote?
Its fine. IRL is most important. (Don't have a QQ Account).
EDIT
Oh wait, do you mean studying is one of the options, if we don't do anything else?
6. Visiting towns and interacting with others will generally be done during weekends, though weekends can also be used for training with a multiplier of 2.5.
Oof. Pity.If you remember from Character Creation Part 1:
And the vote's already been called. So no going back now. Sorry.

Hey take your time, and to quote a wise character:Seriously though, sorry it's taking so long everyone. It's just I'm trying to write the next Chapter in a Fanfic and get my classes in order. Anyone who follows me over on QQ know what Fanfic I'm talking about.
So all of these checks don't show what the required value was. Is that intentional?
1. Okay, we have 60 Peers."STAND!"
The shuffling of feet echoes through the large dojo as sixty students stand in unison.
"BOW!"
You follow everyone else's example as you all bow in greeting to your senior and your Sensei.
1. Club Leader has a Climb pic. Okay...I have no idea whether the swords and armor is actually on him. Since we did vote for a World where everything counts for martial arts, but...there does not seem to be a weapons section mentioned. Unless it is MMA.You all stay like that for about two minutes, then the Club Leader shouts, "STAND AND SIT!"
It's almost machine-like the way everyone obeys the Club Leader's words.
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/10: Success! +5XP]
You can easily see why. An air of authority and presence exudes from every move the young man makes. He's been with this club a long time and knows what it takes to keep everyone's attention.
1. Sensei name is Hamza. We obviously aren't the only new ones here."Now before we begin official introductions, Sensei Hamza would like to say a few words to both the returning members and the newcomers."
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/15: Success! +5XP]
But whatever authority or charisma the Club Leader had is nothing compared to Sensei.
He sat on the right side of the main stage with his eyes closed, completely silent, and still. Despite that, your eyes were always drawn to him whenever the Club Leader stopped talking. And you doubted you were the only one with the way he looked.
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/50: Fail!]
The thing is though, that's all you could tell. The commanding aura that radiated out from him that flowed throughout the entire room. Anything deeper than that was hidden. Didn't help that he started his speech with no emotion in his voice whatsoever.
"Thank you, Setake," his voice is as deep and worldly as you expected. He turns to address you all with discerning eyes before starting, "Among you, I see many faces. Some new, some old. Yet you all carry the same level of potential and drive that the Raijin Martial Arts Club reveres. You all have the chance to excel at this school. Do not waste that chance while you're here."
Yup, probably don't have to worry about sabotage.Your eyes start getting heavy as the Sensei drones on. You try to stay awake, but the speech is too similar to what you heard during orientation. Maybe if you just close your eyes for a...
"Allow me to end my address with some instruction. Firstly, there will be no special treatment in his Club."
Something ripples through the crowd of students and rouses you from your stupor.
1. Well then...that rule is either going to be fun, or utterly horrible for Hayato. Really depends, on how many people Hayato challenges or more importantly challenge us. I assume, unofficial bouts require some kind of declaration first. Otherwise, it would pretty much be assault."Second, while all official matches will follow the national rules of the Martial Arts Competition, any unofficial bouts between students will go until Knockout or one side yields to the other."
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/20: Fail!]
The atmosphere in the room changes when he says this. While you can't tell exactly what it is, or why it changed, you do know that everyone's aggression shot up by a large amount. There's no way Sensei Hamaza can't feel it too. But he does nothing to calm the mood down.
1. We can talk to them, for help.He simply continues in the same town of voice, "Finally, if you ever feel that you need someone to speak to about any type of trouble, you can come to either your Senior Setake or I. We will assist you with whatever you need. Thank you for your time, and I hope to see you all when the Nationals come around."
Hmm...wonder if we have to train Karate & Kendo later. Hmm...eh, I think sticking with MMA is probably our best bet.You all shout thanks to Sensei as he walks away from the center of the stage. Then he begins laying out how the Club works. There are three types of Martial Arts practiced at the Club. Kendo, Mixed Martial Arts, and Karate. Each Martial Art is given its own space for training and sparring bouts. Karate has a large room in the east wing, Mixed has one in the west wing, and the central building is where Kendo practice takes place.
[New Martial Art: Karate]
[New Martial Art: Kendo]
[New Martial Art: MMA]
This might explain why you weren't given a gi when you first walked in. You don't exactly imagine someone wearing one if they're doing MMA. Karate or Kendo, sure, as they're both traditional Martial Arts. But MMA is a mixture of multiple types of Martial Arts and fighting techniques in general.
[Melee Weaponry: Swords: 0]
[Martial Arts: Brawling: 0]
[Martial Arts: Street Fighting: 15]
Looks like our training rooms are large. Again, expected.Which is probably why you gravitated towards it when the introduction was over and everyone was allowed to pick a place to practice. Sliding the door open reveals a large, white wall room with a small boxing ring set up in the center. A bunch of students are scattered across the place practicing in different ways. Using the punching bags, lifting weights, shadow boxing, or simply hanging out and talking. The atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed despite the Sensei's speech.
...Hose Kohei aka Inspired by Baki. Also, probably the strongest member or at least most experienced in MMA.You immediately head to one of the vacant punching bags and start going at it. You keep the pace steady, going through the basic motions for a while. Before long you someone comes over and starts spotting you. The guy's a bit taller than you with his uniform shirt completely buttoned up and gloves on his hands. He watches you go, his black hair swishing as he nods his head, "Nice, nice. You're pretty good."
"Thanks. Had a lot of prior practice," you joke while moving from punches to kicks, "Name's Nagai. You?"
"Kohei," he smiles and pushes himself off the wall, "I'm the most senior member of the MMA Fighters in the Club. And you're doing pretty well despite being a newbie."
"How can you tell I'm new?"
So Martial Arts club is every other Saturday."Been here long enough to tell the difference," he laughs before walking around to your other side, "Anyway, if you've got any questions just come ask me. The club meets every other Saturday, but you can come by whenever to practice whatever you want. Either I or one of your other seniors will be here to help you out."
Yamato Trip Upcoming."I'll be sure to remember that," you finish off your training with a high kick followed by an uppercut to the bag. As it swings side to side on its chain you back up and bow to Kohei, "Thank you clarification, Kohei-senpai."
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/10: Success! +5XP]
His face cringes as you finish, followed by a raised right hand as he says, "No need for that. Kohei's what everyone calls me."
You stand up and nod with a smug smile, "Kohei-san then? Or would you prefer, Kohei-kun?"
He laughs at you then wraps his arm around your shoulder, "Ha! I have a good feeling about you Nagai!"
With that, the rest of your day at the Martial Arts Club goes by relatively unperturbed. All in all, you think you'll like it here. All you gotta do is keep your grades up...
....Maybe you should go see Yamato in the Library.
1. So, we can also go there, even outside club meetings. Which is fair.[Martial Arts Club Unlocked! Can now go there to Train on the Weekends! One AP will be locked to the Martial Arts Club every second Weekend!]
[+15 XP Gained in Total!]
[+5 to Street Fighting and MMA]
[New Relationship Unlocked: Hose Kohei]
And here it is. Hope it went well.
Before long you someone comes over and starts spotting you. The guy's a bit taller than you with his uniform shirt completely buttoned up and gloves on his hands. He watches you go, his black hair swishing as he nods his head, "Nice, nice. You're pretty good."

Oooh, so close!
Yes, as soon as I saw the options, I hoped we'd go MMA with Hayato.This might explain why you weren't given a gi when you first walked in.

This club is our tournament arc. To graduate we must defeat every other student to get to fight the final boss, Sensei Hamza.2. Hmm...hope? So everyone here being part of Nationals is not expected. Sounds about right. I do wonder if we'll have to compete with the others, in order to win a position, or how much Hayato's scholarship requires him to succeed.
...Not really?You are forgetting the Bonuses we get from our high Bond level.
Training Bonuses
Education - Hayato (Debuff) + Yamato (Bonus): +0 to Hayato & +? to Yamato.

Well, assuming he hasn't gone through whatever allows one to become 150. Then odds are his cap is 100, just like any other human. Though he probably has quite a few skills at high levels, with corresponding perks. Tough challenge, but I think we can make it.This club is our tournament arc. To graduate we must defeat every other student to get to fight the final boss, Sensei Hamza.
Time to analyze!
1. Okay, we have 60 Peers.
2. The respect is a good sign. We can probably count the Martial Arts Club, as somewhere where we won't have to worry about peer sabotage.
1. Club Leader has a Climb pic. Okay...I have no idea whether the swords and armor is actually on him. Since we did vote for a World where everything counts for martial arts, but...there does not seem to be a weapons section mentioned. Unless it is MMA.
Looking at it, later on. It does mention Swords, Brawling, and Street Fighting. So sword is probably real. Not sure about the armor.
2. Long Time, so probably a third year? That or second. Probably the former.
1. Sensei name is Hamza. We obviously aren't the only new ones here.
2. Club Leader is Setake.
Yup, probably don't have to worry about sabotage.
Wonder if we can find fellow scholarship students.
1. Well then...that rule is either going to be fun, or utterly horrible for Hayato. Really depends, on how many people Hayato challenges or more importantly challenge us. I assume, unofficial bouts require some kind of declaration first. Otherwise, it would pretty much be assault.
2. At least, this rule probably only applies to Martial Art Club Students, rather than the student body in general.
1. We can talk to them, for help.
2. Hmm...hope? So everyone here being part of Nationals is not expected. Sounds about right. I do wonder if we'll have to compete with the others, in order to win a position, or how much Hayato's scholarship requires him to succeed.
Hmm...wonder if we have to train Karate & Kendo later. Hmm...eh, I think sticking with MMA is probably our best bet.
No need to try and be a jack of all trades or master of all.
Looks like our training rooms are large. Again, expected.
...Hose Kohei aka Inspired by Baki. Also, probably the strongest member or at least most experienced in MMA.
He'd be a good training partner, assuming he's free.
So Martial Arts club is every other Saturday.
Assuming we still have two slots for weekends. That means we could totally use two activites to hyper study education next week!
Assuming we study for one education skill using two AP during the weekdays...we could clear out 3 of the 5 required subjects. With only 2 left!
Mathemathics: 10 + 3 = 13 Per AP. (2 Weekday AP = 26) or (1 Weekend Slot = 32.5)
History: 10 + 3 = 13 Per AP. (2 Weekday AP = 26) or (1 Weekend Slot = 32.5)
English: 10 + 3 = 13 Per AP. (2 Weekday AP = 26) or (1 Weekend Slot = 32.5)
Art: 5 (?) Per AP. (2 Weekday AP = 10) or (1 Weekend Slot = 12.5)
Practicality: 10 + 1 = 11 Per AP. (2 Weekday AP = 22) or (1 Weekend Slot = 27.5)
Of course, this is assuming we study with Yamato, during the weekday, and the weekend, if we don't. Our pace may become slower.
Yamato Trip Upcoming.
1. So, we can also go there, even outside club meetings. Which is fair.
2. Hmm...so we should have 20 in Street Fighting & 5 MMA.
Assuming the x2.5 Multiplier works. Then it may be more practical to study on our own, the martial arts, but that also avoids Social Linking with the club members, when we do have the free time. Especially since we are probably going to get gains, doing that anyhow.
3. New Social Link! 85 XP away from Level 2.
Oh man I'm quite happy that you are a fan of this amazing martial arts series mate! I'm exited to see what you have in store for us next.
