Either that, or how well things went for us. Or it could be something entirely unrelated and @LinkOnScepter is simply trying to screw with us... Which is honestly something I would do if running a quest.

[] Train with Yato
[] Mental: 24 + 10 + 2 (Yato Bonus) = 36
You continue your meditation and, surprisingly, manage to make a lot of progress. Your thoughts hardly wander away from your current task, your breathing is level, and not a single sound from outside makes you flinch. 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. By the time you open your eyes, Yato congratulates you on coming so far. While not perfect, you've managed to reach a higher level of mental fortitude. You have a high resistance to Low Level Mental Manipulation.
[] Physical: 12 + 10 + 2 (Yato Bonus) = 24
After that you continue your physical training, which again proved tricky to accomplish. The only thing Yato could really do to help you here was temporarily take control of your arms to....well make you hit yourself. It was still effective...up until you started to get the hang of what he was trying to teach you about not tensing up when you get hit. You start to see the benefit of letting the blow "slide" off your skin rather than take it head on and take more damage. You still get hurt but much less than you usually would.
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.
[Mental: 36]
"You are ready."
You take the water bottle out of your mouth and glance down at your gloves, "You say something, Yato?"
"I said you are ready for the next step in the Unyielding Mountain," he explains, not even trying to mask the pride in his voice.
You raise an eyebrow in response to his assessment, "Really? And how am I more ready for it now then before?"
"In that you have improved your body, soul and mind to the point where you can withstand the more advanced techniques of the style. Specifically, your mental fortitude has reached the level required."
"That still doesn't really explain why it's the case. What exactly is the danger of me not 'being ready' to learn these 'advanced techniques'? Would I blow up or something?"
"Yes," his tone is serious enough to make you pause and send a small shiver down your spine, "The abilities you have learned so far are the basic building blocks of the style. As such, they pose little danger to someone who has even passingly improved themselves in the requisite ways without harming their bodies. The ones that follow carry the risk of annihilating the mind, body, or soul of the unprepared. Do not take them lightly, my Lord."
"I won't, Yato," you say that with conviction as you head out of the kitchen into the main room, "You gonna teach me one of these moves?"
"When we next train in the style," he says with a finality that ends the conversation. Guess you've managed to make it to the next level with this technique. Whatever Yunagi's got planned for you meeting, it's not gonna matter.
[Resistance Skill at 35+! UMT Cap increased to 50!]
[] Train with Yamato
[] History: 15 + 10 (Debuff Canceled by Yamato) + 3 (Relationship) = 28
Yamato's tutoring continues to be as effective as ever. It's like having your own personal professor most of the time. Even if he does need to get the details of the meeting ironed out, he still finds time to help you learn important subjects. By the time you're done you can easily remember the basic history of Japan, as well as a few important historical figures by name.
[] Motives (Hayato): 15 + 15 = 30
You make tons of progress this time around. Mostly through talking with Yamato. He gives you highly probable scenarios of people doing specific actions, and you try to figure out the emotional reason behind them. The whole process ends up being pretty useful as your bro seems able to come up with situations that even you didn't think of. 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.
[] Motives (Yamato): 12 + 10 + 2 (Hayato Bonus) = 24
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.
The weekend rolls around much slower than it usually does. Or maybe that's the result of being stuck in your room for five days. Time seems to slow when you have very little to do save watch TV, play video games, or study all day. You almost jump to your feet when Yamato enters the dorm with Yameko close behind and his laptop bag hanging from his shoulder. You get right to it, "So, we doing this?"
"Yunagi has agreed to meet us in the school gymnasium. It shouldn't be in use considering this is the weekend," he explains before turning to the Kitsune at his side, "Yameko, head to the gymnasium before us and find a hiding spot. Do everything you can to stay out of sight. If Yunagi sees you, he may suspect that you're involved in this and begin looking into your history in a search for leverage against us. Remain nearby in case he's prepared something."
"Understood, Yamato-sama," Yameko nods and walks out with her student disguise on. Yamato nods before turning to you, "I conducted some more research on Mondo Circuits in case we needed it. Are you prepared, brother?"
You nod with a determined frown and make your way to the door, "Let's get this over with."
Yamato follows you out, making sure to lock the door behind you. The school grounds are empty, as expected. Most of the students are likely enjoying the weekend off campus. Or they're stuck in their rooms doing...whatever the children of rich people do in their off time. Either way, it means you don't have to worry about anyone interfering with your trek. You don't doubt that Yunagi's already let gossip about what happened spread around the school. Last thing you need is someone seeing you and running off to snitch to an authority figure.
The silence is broken when your bro starts talking, "Brother, I have something to ask of you."
"Shoot."
"Munagi has made plans for the chess club to go on an outing next weekend. Members are allowed to bring two others with them. I wanted to....ask....if you would come with."
Was that....nervousness?
You look at your brother as you walk with an eyebrow raised. Your eyes examine his body up and down, looking for any change in his demeanor or emotion. You find none, but you could hear it in your brother's voice. He was nervous about asking you to come with him.
Huh. Guess you are getting through to him. Now the question is, will you go?
[] Sure thing! You get to hang with your bro and his new friends!
[] Maybe some other time. You've got plans this weekend.
The gym doesn't really stand out compared to the rest of the school. It's your typical orange court with a bunch of bleachers to one side for when a game is on. The only stand out feature is the yellow lightning bolt emblazoned on the center of the court.
Two people stand across from you and your brother. The one on the left you recognize as Yunagi, his hair looking extra greasy as he stood in his Raijin Uniform. One hand was balled into a fist at his side while he chewed on the knuckle of his free hand. Even with the distance between you, you could see the sweat dripping down his forehead.
The other person was new.
[Empathy Check: Feelings: 17/10: Success! +5XP]
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?
She shoots a glare your way when she catches you staring. You reply with a wave and a smile that makes her look away with a huff.
"Satoshi Yunagi, I presume?" Yamato begins the conversation.
"Yeah," the little weasel speaks with a tone filled with bile, "that's me. What, Nagai? You went and ran to your little brother for help?"
[Yamato Barter Check: Business: 30/30: Success! +15XP]
"Considering how you brought your sister to our meeting, you are in no place to criticize my brother for asking for my assistance," Yunagi's eyes bulge out nearly as much as yours. You look between the indifferent girl and the panicking Yunagi. The only similarity you can spot is their hair, but that's it. They're actually related!?
Before Yunagi can reply, your bro continues, "Let us remain on topic. You are aware of the situation. Simply rescind the Confinement Order on both my brother and Hose Kohei, and I will not leak Mondo's misdeeds to a rival."
"And if I refuse?" the snake ventures but you can see him shaking from here.
"Then I will release the information to a rival and the public. Your stock will fall by 97%, and your only method of staying afloat will be allow yourself to be bought out. Your father will lose the company, likely be fired, and you will lose everything you have now."
...You're used to your brother speaking in monotone. But his speech combined with that....it was kind of freaky.
[Bond: Blood Ties]
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.
[Yamato Evasion Check: Trickery: 34/15: Success! +10XP]
And, thankfully, it works.
"....Fine," Yunagi acts like saying that is pure torture for him, "I'll call my father and make it so."
"Do it now."
"Why?"
"So we're sure you keep up your part of the deal," your bro sits down and unzips his bag.
With an angry shout Yunagi pulls a cell phone out of his pocket. He dials a number, waits a bit, says a few words to someone on the other line, then hangs up and shouts, "Done! Now you-"
"Done," your brother zips his laptop up and stands from his position, "Thank you for your cooperation. Shall we leave, brother Hayato?"
"Yeah. Thanks for being reasonable, Yunagi. See ya at the next club meet," you can't keep the smugness out of your voice as you turn to head out.
"Hold on a sec."
Both of you stop and turn to see Yunagi's sister heading towards you. Her hands are balled into fist and she has her eyes set on Yamato, "While my brother might be a wimp and an ass, he's still my brother. And if you think I'm going to let someone get away with threatening him and my family without some bruises you've got another thing comin'."
[Yamato Empathy Check: Motives: 24/30: Fail!]
"The deal ended smoothly," your brother says as he turns to face the advancing girl, "By doing this you are putting our agreement in jeopardy."
"Yeah, so?" she replies with a predatory smile, "That deals between you two and my brother, not me. I'm completely uninvolved. So come on, shorty. Let's see if you can back up all your talk."
Oh hell no.
You step in her path just as she reaches the center of the gym. You frown while looking the girl up and down....
[Empathy Check: Motives: 30/30: Success!: +20XP!]
...And then sigh with a shake of your head. She tilts her head in confusion as you shrug and say, "Now I can see how you're related. Look, if you just want a fight you can ask. I'll help you blow off some steam."
At first she's taken aback by your admission, then she smiles and lets out a hearty laugh before replying, "Ha! That right? So, I'm guessing you're the one that handed my brother his ass on a silver platter?"
"Ritsuko!" Yunagi shouts, his voice cracking a bit.
"The very same," you reply while stepping towards the middle of the room, "Name's Nagai Hayato."
"Satoshi Ritsuko," she slams her fist together and cracks her neck, "Good to meet'cha. Feel like going a few rounds?"
"Yeah, but...hold on," you stop and turn to look at Yamato, "Hey bro! You mind if I...?"
"Go ahead," Yamato starts heading towards the bleachers, "I finished all my school work yesterday. Do try to avoid sustaining or inflicting any serious injuries, brother."
You give him a thumbs up before turning back to Ritsuko. You hold up your hands and start to adjust your gloves, "I got the all clear. You ready?"
"Almost. Yunagi! Get your ass in the bleachers! Your big sis is gonna show you how it's done!" The weasel makes to argue until his sister shoots a glare his way. Then he huffs and heads to take a seat.
Soon it's only you and Ritsuko on the court. You both start loosening up for the fight. She's stretching while rolling her shoulders, while you're doing some shadowboxing. As you do, you contact Yato with your mind, "Yato, she like us?"
"No, my Lord," he replies, "I can sense nothing similar to my kind anywhere near her. She is a regular human."
"Would she be in danger if I used the Unyielding Mountain?" you're asking cause you don't know how strong or skilled she is. While you're confident in your own abilities, she might be a bit more than you can handle without a little something special. First though, you need to be sure you won't seriously hurt her.
Yato's quick to reply, "I have taught you but the basic techniques of the style. As long as you do not use them at full power, she is in no danger of serious injury. If you do not, then I cannot guarantee she will leave this battle with minimal injuries."
"Got it," you frown. So you have to hold back if you're planning to use Unyielding Mountain eh? Not exactly ideal, but you can work with it. It's self-explanatory that you can't bring Yato out in this fight. You don't think you could really "hold back" while hitting her with metal fist. Now then, how are you gonna do this?
[] No need for the Mountain. Fight her with your own abilities. You're confident you can win this.
[] Use your own abilities for a bit. Switch to the Mountain if you have to. Be adaptive and ready for anything.
[] Unyielding Mountain right from the start. You're gonna end this battle before it's began.
The roll was to see who Yunagi brought with him.
50 to 59, they would've been simple goons.
#s < 50 would've been people important to the company. Single digits would've brought out his dad.
#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.
Edit: 90 to 100 would've also brought out his dad...but he'd be the cool kind of CEO that would not only be a social link, but give you guys special options on the weekends.

This is just a battle for the hot headed siblings to let off some steam. Let's be honorable and duke it out with only some honest knuckle sandwich to the face.

No accounting for parenting skills?
Right now I am treating them as Oga and Toujou from Beelzebub. It is between them and them alone. No need bringing Yato the third party here.

Blame it on youthful rebellion!
Seroiusly though, in that case Yunagi would've lied to his dad and said you were bullying him.

[X] No need for the Mountain. Fight her with your own abilities. You're confident you can win this.
Win or Lose, it'll be a rivalry. I'd like the delinquent battle junky to be a mainstay regardless.
For the other vote though, I'm kinda wondering if our Bro really does want us there at the Chess Meet.
The seeds of irrationality are bound to bloom given the empathy checks, but ya never know.
And I'm more interested in getting more screen time for the ragtag delinquents than whatever Sports Anime they're pulling for the chess club.

We don't really have much to lose if we... lose. So yeah, no need to use super fighting powers.

More of an aside, really, but I'm curious as to how good Hayato is regarding the usage of Yato. Like, we know he can handle the training stuff and more steps of the UMD. And it's not a leap of logic to think that better base stats = better stats with Yato on.
But, you know, I just wanna see the guy actually push himself and his limits while making use of the special gear. Surely that would give him more valuable insight (at least for the first iteration) than the current method.

Do we even have enough understanding of the Mountain to actually hold back while fighting? There are no stakes; no reason to be fancy.

[X] Use your own abilities for a bit. Switch to the Mountain if you have to. Be adaptive and ready for anything.
Guys come on we have 5 in MMA. And throwing sand in someone's face isn't conducive to a long term relationship

Yeah, using magic feels like cheating. Unless she uses magic first, we won't use UM. Good opportunity to practice our mundane combat skills while we are at it.
