Indra entered the training grounds, a familiar place that had truly become a second home to him over these last few months. This was a place he felt comfortable and relaxed, a place he could let his worries melt away, or at least hide in the recesses of his mind, for a time. Unlike the over-sterilized doctor's office he and Seiko had last met in, this was a place he felt he could really gain an understanding of Seiko. Bathed in the white fluorescent light of that place was no way to learn someone's character, no, a person's character and grit were learned by the blade. That's why he had invited Seiko to meet him here, on the training grounds for a joint training session and hopefully a spar of some kind.

Whether enemy or friend, Indra had learned in his short lifetime that the best way to learn about someone was through a fight. It was old, and some even considered barbaric, way to gain an understanding of someone, but Indra had yet to find a better way. Seiko made him nervous, her rumored abilities and the goals she had shared put him on edge. There was a piece of her though that truly gave him hope. A Republic with not a leader or dictator, but a protector. Now that didn't sound so bad. Before he threw his lot in with her though, it was time to see just how genuine her words had been.

An invitation for a training session, that was something she hadn't exactly been expecting but it did make sense with what she knew of Indra. Seiko hummed quietly to herself as she reviewed her notes on the alterations that she had performed on Tertius, leafing through the papers of a small notebook that she kept, filled with blueprint drawings and mechanical notes. The world shifted ever so slightly under her as Sir Tristan navigated his way through the streets and into the training area. His half cape fluttered in the wind and he made quite a majestic figure as he strode forwards, a massive spear locked to his back. Once they made it to the training area, Seiko simply tossed her notebook over her shoulder where it turned to code and faded away.

She looked up and adjusted her glasses, noticing Indra and giving a nod. With a quick mental command, Sir Tristan came to a halt and kneeled on the ground before raising one hand up. Seiko stepped onto his hand primly and he lowered her to the ground. She stepped off and moved closer to Indra, giving him a smile. She was curious if there was another purpose for today, perhaps Indra just wanted to get the measure of her? Perhaps he wanted to see if any rumours about her were true? Maybe he just wanted to test himself. She didn't mind any of those options. "Good day, Indra. I hope you have been well, have you been making sure to use that ointment?" She asked, her voice level and calm, though her stance was already guarded, some people saw the training area as an excuse to just fight immediately.

Whatever Indra had been expecting, it was not...that. His head cocked to the side, a curious eyebrow raised as Sir Tristan entered the training grounds. Truth be told, at first Indra hadn't even noticed Seiko riding atop him. The large golem had posed the largest, most immediate threat on instinct and as a result, he had simply studied its movements. In the back of his mind, he knew this was foolish, but the creature was unlike anything he had seen before. It was only when Sir Tristan lowered Seiko to the ground that Indra snapped back to reality and peeled his eyes from the golem. Returning the smile he nodded, Yes, it worked like a charm. I don't know if my hands have ever been smoother, thank you Ms. Seiko. He raised his palms to show her before folding his arms and walking towards Sir Tristan.

He did a circle of the creature, whistling lowly before marveling up at it, This is...something. You certainly know how to make an entrance. He said to Seiko with a chuckle. This must have taken you hundreds of hours to make. Unless you have a team of some kind working on them? Indra was aware of the existence of the Rikigaku and even a bit about what they were capable of, but it was in the same way that a farmer is aware that there are brain surgeons and what they can do. That doesn't mean the farmer has any idea HOW the surgeon does his work.

"Excellent, I'm glad to hear it." She smiled and turned to watch Indra making an examination of her Knight. Sir Tristan simply stayed kneeling, electric blue lines of energy dancing and glowing in the gaps between the plates of his armour. A flutter of the cloak would reveal a metallic hatch on his back that was locked with those same glowing circuits. "Perhaps it is my vanity coming into play but sitting atop one of my Knights gives me the advantage of height for once in my life, it also means I do not have to do any walking myself and with their internal stabilisers, their movement causes little enough disruption that I can actually get some reading or work done while sitting on top of them. Sir Bors has taken some damage hence why I am using Sir Tristan today."

She paused for a second as she considered how much she wanted to reveal but it honestly wouldn't be an issue and perhaps it would even ease the growth of trust between them. "They are not just named because of any personification however, my Knights are different to the Golem of a normal Rikigaku, each of them is a specialist chassis that has been carefully machined to focus on different physical aspects as well as to allow them to wield weapons and gain certain combat effects. Sir Tristan as you can see wields a Spear and can use it to pierce some of the strongest defenses around. How has your training been going, anything of interest you have mastered lately?" Her stance became more comfortable as she spoke, now that he was close enough to Sir Tristan if he tried anything the Knight would be able to stop him immediately.

Indra nodded, her explanation for her arrival style made sense. She hadn't struck him as someone in need of flashy entrances. Everything served a purpose with Seiko and that was a thought process he could relate to. However, whether she knew it or not, she'd have no fear of giving out trade secrets about the creation of her Knights. Indra listened to her explanation and did his genuine best to understand it, but halfway through, his lips pursed and his eyes glazed over a bit. It wasn't Seiko's fault, Indra's mind simply was made for this sort of thing. He nodded as she began to wrap up and at the mention of Sir Tristan's weaponry, Ah, okay that makes sense. So he's a bit of a siege breaker maybe? I actually have a kenjutsu style that is like that and might be useful against your automatons here.

He thought of the other day and the other style he had come up with, There's another one that I only very recently developed as well. It's still pretty early in the training process, but I might get a chance to try it out. Though...I'm not sure what use it would be against these things. His attention returned to Sir Tristan, it truly was a marvel. What about you? If you don't mind me asking, why'd you even accept my invitation? Honestly, I figured you'd be too busy for something like this.

"Aye, his abilities are specialised towards strength. If there is something that needs breaking, Sir Tristan will break it. Sir Bors is more balanced and the next one I plan on knighting sill be specialised towards defense." She said with a wave of her hand. She done her best not to bristle when he called them automatons, being annoyed at someone for something they didn't know was a poor way of operating. "Of course, the Knights of the Round Table are not the most advanced Knights that I have planned as there are blueprints drawn up for a... Far more marvellous collection." She grinned and then sent a mental command to Sir Tristan who rose to his full twelve foot height and took his spear out, planting the butt of the weapon straight into the ground at his side.

"I would be interested to see how your kenjutsu fares against my knights. Of course, given permission, I could also borrow some of that Kenjutsu to grant to another Knight... Or any Ninjutsu you possess." She said it plainly as though it was a completely normal thing that she could do for her Knights and to be fair, it was very much a common thing for Rikigaku to do for their Golems. "However for today's session, I leave the ball in your court Indra, what would you like to train or do you just want to fight?"

Not sure there's anything much more marvelous than this. Indra said as Tristan rose to his full height once more. He took a few steps back, giving himself about twenty feet between Sir Tristan and himself. With a shrug he added, Sure, you can borrow whatever you like. Not that it matters anyway, with a mind like yours I'm sure you'll have my entire arsenal deduced and dissected by lunch. He said this last part with a smile, there was no ill will meant towards this statement, it was simply a fact as far as Indra was concerned. Honestly, I asked you here for more than just one reason, but we'll get to that later. The main reason I wanted to train with you was to have you watch me. It's no secret you're not only a genius but probably a master battle strategist as well. It's been...awhile, He hesitated, thinking of his mother once again, since I've had anyone analyze my fighting and provide feedback. So, if you don't mind, I'd love some pointers.

Indra placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, each of his eyes changing colors as he did. He had no ideas of grandeur that he could "defeat" Seiko, she was in a completely different weight class even with just one of her Knights present. Still, he didn't plan to go down easily either. He wanted her to see him as a force to take note of and it didn't hurt to push one to their limits in a safe setting like this. Seiko was, after all, a medic-nin. If worst came to worst and he overdid it, he had little doubt she could keep him alive. Indra began slowly walking to the right, circling Tristan while maintaining his twenty-foot radius. If that all works for you, then I'm ready when you are.

"Ah, I understand. This spar should give me a good reading on your abilities, it will also let me learn which abilities you have that I would like to turn into Cores for my Knights. Let us begin then. I won't utilise all of my abilities just yet nor will I call in my other Knights. Should you suitably tax me however, I will bring them in. Let us test your mettle, Indra, the greatest of weapons are forged in the hottest of flames." She told him with a grin and immediately her eyes altered, circuitry scrawling over her temples and her pupils turned to diamonds. She then walked over to Sir Tristan and tapped him, the metal of his body groaning and shifting even as crackling arcs of electricity ran across his body.

The massive Knight pulled its weapon into a ready stance and Seiko placed her hands behind her back and stood in an easy attention. With a twist of her foot, the ground under Indra suddenly shifted and chains of dirt shot upwards to try and ensnare his waist and wrists to hold him down. At the same time Sir Tristan dashed forwards and lashed out with the butt of his spear to try and slam it into Indra's side.

Fighting for Indra was like a dance and he owed this fact almost entirely to his reaction abilities and blessed eyes. When fighting began it seemed the world slowed around him and although he was aware that everything was happening in only seconds, his body and eyes simply knew what to do and what to pay attention to. It was effortless and exhilarating. His body twisted and conformed, dancing away from the writing earth chains that Seiko had let loose on him and backing away to see them grasp at empty air. Two versus one? You don't fight fair, Ms. Seiko. Indra said with a smile as Tristan's spear came into view. He pivoted, spinning on his heel and felt the air displace around the spear as it came within inches. Biting his thumb, he spread a smear of blood on the tattoo on his shoulder and a puff of smoke appeared instantly, Let's at least try to even the odds a bit. Durga, vomit technique, give it everything you've got! Indra commanded the little salamander on his shoulder.

Aye, sir! BLAAAAAAARGGGGHHHHH! Durga said without hesitation as more liquid than could remotely be possible exploded from the small creature's mouth and rapidly began filling the training grounds. Indra had no doubt this would pose little issue to Seiko or Tristan, but this also wasn't for them. Come on, Tristy, catch me if you can. Indra taunted, continuing to run in a circle atop the sticky liquid around Tristan and towards Seiko. Sir, is it the best idea to taunt the giant robot? Durga asked quietly as Indra ran.
Probably not, no. Indra agreed.

"You set no terms, Indra, you simply told me you were ready. Why would I limit myself? Do you expect foes on the battlefield to limit themselves against you? How could I get your measure if I couldn't push you to your absolute limits." Seiko chided him as she performed hand-seals and stomped at the same time that Durga opened their mouth. As the water spewed out, a massive wall of earth sprang out of the ground in a circle around Indra and the lizard, containing all of the water and turning it into more of a pool.

Sir Tristan for his part leaped upwards and onto the top of the wall while unleashing a blast of blinding lightning, it wouldn't do any damage but it'd be unpleasant to look at. As it faded he swung his spear and a blade of wind lashed out at A-Rank speeds towards Indra though it would only deal B-Rank physical damage if it managed to hit him. Tristan then leaped down from the wall and back towards Seiko, crouching and waiting to see what would happen next. Would Indra leave his little paddling pool to fight outside or would he do something else? Seiko was interested to see.

Well that's annoying. Indra grunted as his lake was turned to a mere pool of syrup. Indra continued to run, his feet smacking against the not-water as Tristan appeared on the lip of the pool. His eyes closed reflexively when the Knight began to glow, but when he opened them, a new problem presented itself. Indra ground his teeth, I didn't want to have to use this already. The air around he and Durga sparked to life and he charged through Tristan's air blade without breaking stride, the syrup behind him dividing from the force of the blast. Drawing his sword, Indra leaped towards Tristan as the Knight moved to return to his queen's side. HAAAAAA! Indra roared, slashing at the turned back of the Knight with all his might.

As Indra came over the edge, coated in lightning and ready to bear down on Sir Tristan. Seiko simply nodded and twisted her foot again. A series of shackles fired out of the earth wall that Indra had just jumped over, far faster than last time, in fact the stone turned a lighter colour as the chains lashed out to wrap around his limbs, interrupting his attack against Sir Tristan. Seiko then activated her digitize array and let a shortsword drop into her hand. From where she stood she immediately slid into almost exactly the sort of stance one would use for Kappa-Ryu and rolled her shoulders.

Tristan landed safely and immediately scooped his hand down, picking up a rock and launching it at Indra's chest with S-Rank strength. It wasn't likely to break his Lightning Release armour but it would shatter the chains that were holding him if he couldn't break free himself. Seiko didn't want this fight to end that quickly after all, there was much and more that she needed to see. Then again it was possible that Indra would find a way to dodge the shackles entirely in which case he'd still need to deal with the rock screaming towards his body.

Wha-? Indra let out as his body was suddenly completely immobilized, the might of his attack dying before it could even be brought into the world. While most fights Indra had been in flowed like a dance, his eyes and body reacting in time and responding to any eventual danger, this fight had suddenly taken a turn. The boulder smashed into him, knocking him back over the lip of the pool and into the sticky liquid. Even without the chains, he hadn't had time to react to the boulder at all. In fact, he had barely even seen it as more than a looming shadow and that was only because of the time-slowing effects of his eyes. The young boy let out a groan as he lay atop the surface of the pool. It wasn't a groan of pain, no, his armor was still perfectly fine and intact. This was a groan of annoyance and true realization that he was well out of his league.

You're not doing so well. Durga said, having moved to plop herself on his chest and stare down at her master.
Thanks for letting me know. Indra cracked an eye open to look at her.
Why are you doing this? You're going to die.
Ms. Seiko won't kill me and we're doing it to get stronger. We're training. Indra said, rising to his knees and then his feet. Durga scampered back to her place on his shoulder.
She threw a rock at you. Like a whole boulder.
Uh-huh. Indra nodded and began walking to the edge of the pool.
So now what? Durga asked, flicking her tail with genuine curiosity.
Now we're going to slow things down. Indra said and placed a leg on the lip of the earthen wall to peer over the side at Seiko and her Knight.
Wow, for someone who literally just picked up my style, your form is pretty good. He called down to Seiko with a smile, watching her practice a bit of his own footwork to get a feel for the style.

After performing a few test slashes with her sword, Seiko turned to look up at Indra and gave him a smile before tossing her sword aside and digitising it once more. "Alas, I don't think it fits me very well, I prefer using my fists when I need to fight..." Her grin deepened, turning almost predatory as there was a flicker in her eyes and with a twirl of his spear, Sir Tristan dropped into the Kappa-Ryu stance instead. "...Sir Tristan on the other hand... It suits him far better." The young med nin simply went back into attention, her hands behind her back again. She had expected another attack but seemingly not, not to mention the Lightning Armour on Indra was still active, surely it should have been heavily taxing him? Then again as she thought about it she realised... Perhaps not...

"I imagine you are analysing me for something, perhaps another kenjutsu form? That's fine by me but it'd be boring to just stand here." With that she tapped her chest and pulled out a thin metal cylinder that sparked with electricity. She slapped the bottom and then twisted the top which caused the lightning in it to surge. With a simple underhanded toss she threw the drive up onto the top of the wall next to where Indra was. It landed and then floated upwards forming into a soldier made entirely of sparking lightning who immediately swung their sword at Indra's head. "This is a Man-At-Arms, a fun little experiment I tried one day."

Indra's smile dropped as Sir Tristan assumed a perfect Kappa-Ryu stance, Now that just seems unfair. He muttered with mild irritation. This thing was hard enough to kill already, now it could do what he could do? Seiko wasn't playing around. Though a darker thought struck him in that moment, what if this WAS Seiko playing around? Indra gulped nervously but kept his attention on the automaton while Seiko spoke. Before Indra could respond to Seiko's question, Durga shouted from his shoulder, Nah, he's just trying to catch his breath from the beat down you're giving him!

Indra scowled, Why would you tell her that?
Because it's true! Durga said with a pleased flick of her tail. Indra watched the strange metallic device sail through the air and land on the lip of the pool, erupting in a shower of sparks that seemed to shape and form into a humanoid. Waaagh! Indra said as the new creature's weapon slashed into him, meeting firm resistance against his lightning armor. He blinked, looking at this new...thing.
What in the name of Datara is this?! He yelled down at Seiko, How many of these bots do you have?!

"I have more than enough, of varying types, Indra. It wouldn't do to have myself caught out in a situation that I couldn't deal with, hm?" She said, sticking her tongue out just the slightest bit at the end to mark that she was indeed joking and ribbing him. With a soft hum she reached over and tapped Tristan's arm, if Indra had any chakra sight he'd notice a distinct wave washing over the Knight. With a quick mental command the Knight nodded and then with a spin and flourish of his spear... Vanished straight into the ground, as though it had swallowed him whole.

"You are doing well, not many people at your level can threaten Tristan, especially when he has been enhanced, I am impressed Indra. Now how about we step it up just a little bit more?"
Seiko's grin was almost sadistic as the Man-At-Arms changed its tactics, rather than just bonking its electric sword against Indra's head, it instead turned and stabbed out at Durga to try and force Indra to defend his familiar. At the same time, Tristan leaped out of the earth of the wall to the opposite side of Indra and swung out a Honryuu-Gawa at A-Rank++ Strength to try and drive it into his side, although it was fast the Knight had been instructed to tone down the actual impact so it wouldn't liquefy Indra's organs with the internal damage from the strike.

Indra smiled when Seiko stuck her tongue out, had that been a joke? It was nice to see she was having a good time even if he felt like he was fighting for his life. He knew he wasn't in any real danger, Seiko would never risk actually harming him, or at least if she did she'd be able to heal him...probably. Step it up more?! Indra mentally groaned before the massive Knight simply disappeared beneath the ground without a trace, Wait, where'd he go? Indra questioned with a nervous sweat.
Err boss? Trouble. Durga said from his shoulder and Indra cocked his head to the side, bringing the Man-At-Arms into his peripherals. In truth, learning that the thing couldn't really do anything to him, he had mostly forgotten about it. However, Durga was still here and she noticeably lacked a Lightning Release Armor.

Out! Indra commanded Durga, but she didn't have to be told twice. The smoke hadn't even cleared from his shoulder when the point of the electric sword stabbed through it, missing Durga by quarters of a second. At the same time, Sir Tristan decided to make his grand entrance with a dangerously fast and frustratingly familiar attack. Indra's reflexes kicked in faster than he could process and his blade met the larger creature's automatically. Haaaa! A bestial cry escaped his lips as he poured his strength into the parry, causing Tristan's blade to be deflected away and opening the construct for a follow-up attack, which Indra eagerly obliged with. His stance shifted ever so slightly and he stepped forward, smashing his lead foot into the earthen wall and causing the top layer to crack and shift. Indra's initial deflection had brought his blade from the ground up to deflect Tristan's, but rather than slow the motion, he sped it up to switch into Suiko-Ryu: Wakiten. Now, with his defenses hopefully opened and his footing lost, Tristan was about to take an A-rank Physical Wind Release slice to the chest.

Seiko didn't even need her massively enhanced perceptions to see when an attack was a good one. Good defenses, a fine deflection of Tristan's spear and Indra even managed to open up the massive Knight's guard but unfortunately for Indra, Seiko had some of her pride on the line and as the Knight Commander, she knew when she had to step in to save one of her soldiers. So with a flash of her digital array returning her sword to her and a reclamation of knowledge from Tristan, she put her plan into action.

With a quiet huff she formed a single seal and in a puff of smoke, it was no longer Tristan standing in the way of Indra's blade but Seiko herself with a shortsword in hand. She was incredibly close her body was tense as she drove a massive amount of kinetic power into her muscles. Steel flashed and Indra's sword was knocked aside, it would have been a perfect copy if not for the fact that Seiko's was actually more efficient, deflecting more of the force aside and now she was in his guard. A fair distance travelled, way too close and she lashed out with a Honryuu-Gawa of her own now that Indra's sword had been forced aside, backed by all of her strength at this moment.

Tristan had already flipped to his feet as well now that he was safely on the ground and he hopped back up onto the wall with them, ready to assist his Commander if Indra attempted another form of counterattack.

Indra had already been caught off guard several times, but what happened next really drove home just how inferior he was to lady Seiko. It wasn't a fact that he dwelled on for too long, she was after all three ranks higher than him and a certified genius. As Seiko turned his own attack against him, ironically performing it even better than he himself was capable of, her blade would cut through a blob of syrup coated in a flash of lightning rather than the boy himself. A couple dozen feet away Seiko would find Indra bent over, his sword now sheathed and breathing rather heavy. With one hand on his knee, the other would rub uncomfortably at his chest. Nothing had happened, but he knew that attack all too well and a sort of phantom pain made his chest ache. That would've been...bad to say the least.

He held up a hand, straightening now to look at Seiko, Okay, okay, I yield. Someone's going to get hurt if we keep going like this and we both know it won't be you. He said with a pained smile, the edges of his vision a bit cloudy from the sheer exertion he had output in such a short time. That was fun, hopefully I at least made you break a sweat. He joked, his lightning-release armor dissipating to show he really was done. The attack he had just performed or tried to anyway, was pretty much his limit. If she had countered that so easily, there was nothing more he could do. Still, just in case she didn't agree to his concession, he kept his Dojutsu activated to be on the safe side.

With a slight nod, Sir Tristan hopped down from the wall and elegantly caught Seiko as she dropped down herself, kneeling to place her on the ground. The young girl tossed her sword over her shoulder, allowing it to return to her digital array before she called over Sir Tristan. The Knight planted his spear into the ground, placed one hand to his chest and gave Indra a deep, formal bow before he too disappeared into bytecode alongside his spear. Seiko for her part seemed satisfied and a warm smile sat on her face, gone was the predatory look she had previously.

"If Sir Tristan had been able to deal with the attack himself, I would not have needed to step in. I doubt there are any genin currently that could fight on par with one of my Knights like that. I'm quite impressed, Indra, I won't lie. You showed resourcefulness, determination and an impressive grasp on kenjutsu, all are valuable traits, I'm sure you'll go far."
She nodded and then stomped the ground, a small wall rising up for her to sit on. "What about you, did you have fun? Were you able to put some strategies to the test perhaps?" She seemed genuinely curious, she didn't want to spar just to prove she was better, it was hardly a fair fight after all, she truly hoped that Indra had learned something or at least had found delight in being able to actually push himself to his limits.

Indra gave a hesitant, but respectful, nod to Sir Tristan before he disappeared. The things made his skin crawl to some degree. They were just a bit too lifelike for him and they also raised several questions that hurt his brain. It showed respect, but was that just Seiko silently commanding it to move? If he didn't show it back, would Sir Tristan have felt anger or annoyance? He decided not to dwell on it and returned his attention to Seiko, I appreciate the compliments Ms. Seiko, truly. It was nice to have an environment I could push myself without having to worry too much about any lasting repercussions. I'm preparing for my Tokubetsu Jonin exams right now, so being able to see what I'm capable of in a pinch while also being taught areas I need to improve or at least weaknesses I need to account for was a huge help. Were you able to benefit from this at all? I feel bad if it was one-sided. He thought about how expertly she had replicated his kenjutsu styles and even taught them to her knight practically instantly, Then again, at the minimum I guess you managed to pick up some new kenjutsu, huh? He said with a smile that lacked any malice or annoyance.

He thought about their spar, reflecting on everything that had happened. Movements, attacks, counters, it had all happened so quickly yet it felt like it had been hours. Seiko had mostly stayed back, sending her constructs to do her work and initially that had bothered Indra a bit. If he joined her, at least in service for her tasks, would she simply treat him as another construct? A creature to go about and do her bidding? It was when she had swapped places with her robot, putting herself in harm's way (though Indra was certain she was never really in danger against him) that he had seen the real Seiko. This was a person willing to step in herself, without hesitation, when needed. That was a leader he could get behind and was exactly the thing he hoped to learn about her from this training session. Thank you for showing me a bit about who you are. Indra said with no clear indication of exactly what he meant.

There was a slight moment of confusion at Indra's last statement causing Seiko to tilt her head to the side slightly but she let it pass quickly before giving a bit of a wave of her hand. "The spar was indeed helpful. I am able to learn about the shortcomings of my Knights, what situations they are helpful in and it gives me insight into the combat capabilities of those I would call ally or even friend. If I know how someone fights, I know how to support them to enhance their combat capabilities and how not to get in the way most importantly."She said with a soft chuckle.

With a quick adjustment of her glasses she set her eyes on Indra, focusing on him rather intently for a moment. "I have full faith in your ability to pass your exams. As we are now though I would like to ask a favour of you, you are free to say no, it can be somewhat galling to do what I am asking. As a Rikigaku, specifically one of the Golem Wing, I am able to transform knowledge into something known as a Core, a small object that I can slot into a Drive, which acts as a power source for a Golem. Having seen some of your techniques, some of them would be quite useful to have and I am asking for permission to turn some of your techniques into Cores that I could grant to my Knights. You would retain the information, it creates a copy it does not take the original knowledge but I can understand why some would find such a thing distasteful. I would also need to make physical contact with you to draw them out, another thing I am asking permission for."

Indra huffed a bit and scratched the back of his head. His gut instinct told him not to allow Seiko to retain the information on his styles. They were his after all, and one of the few things that separated him from other genin. He had worked hard to master them, training for more hours than he slept most days and now someone was going to simply observe them once and have access to them? It didn't sit well. On the other hand, Seiko had proven herself to be more than trustworthy and quite frankly, with what she was capable of it wouldn't hurt to keep an I.O.U. from her in his back pocket. Hmm alright, yeah. That's fine I guess. Just promise you won't teach them to anyone else, alright? Your knights are one thing, since I guess they're sort of an extension of you, huh? I just don't want everyone running around with that stuff.

He held out a hand, more so to shake on the deal if Seiko agreed, but also because she had mentioned needing to physically touch him. By the way, when we spoke a few weeks ago at the medical offices, you had mentioned looking for someone to complete some tasks for you. I doubt watching them fight was one of the tasks. Did you have something else in mind?

"I don't plan on learning them myself, Indra, worry not. Kenjutsu is interesting to me but it is not something I truly plan to add to my skillset. My connection with my Knights and my lineage as a Ronin allow me some... Interesting cooperative benefits that were at play." She gave a coy smile and stepped forwards, clasping Indra's hand tightly and giving it a firm shake. "I will simply grant the knowledge to my Knights, mapping out muscle movements and nerve impulses to give a near-perfect simulacrum of the technique in question to them. This may feel strange." There was a flicker of chakra and then a sensation of tugging, a strange almost spiritual tightness would take over and Seiko reached forwards, tapping a small rhythm on Indra's wrist before placing her palm flat and then curling her fingers in.

When she pulled her hand away a series of small spheres would come with her hand, seemingly made of metal they all glowed and hummed with energy and she collected them all together before releasing the other shinobi's hand. "Excellent, thank you very much. I don't think I am likely to give these to Gaheris but Sir Lamorak may be quite interested in them." She put the Cores away and returned to her seat, dusting down her skirt to give herself a moment to think before she spoke again. "Learning about people is always useful, especially if they allow me to draw Cores from what I have learned. However no, it was not one of the tasks. Put quite simply, Indra? I need materials. I need materials so that I can truly figure out how to create my cybernetics as while I can have people consent to some of it, I still require base knowledge that can really only be gained by getting hands on with a body, living or dead, whichever is more appealing to your morals. Of course, any such materials would need to be traitors, Nukenin, dire criminals, anything of that sort, I'm no monster. If the people I get my hands on happen to have... Useful characteristics, then there is more I can do with them." She waved her hand almost dismissively, keeping her voice plain. If he balked immediately at this then perhaps he wouldn't be too useful, sacrifices had to be made for the good of the Republic and if that meant she had to tear a living body apart piece by piece to figure out exactly how it worked so she could replicate it in the purity of steel then so be it. Bleeding hearts weren't needing and morals could come later, the end would justify the means, of that she was certain.

Indra felt a slight tingle as the metallic orbs moved away from his body and he found himself somewhat mesmerized by what Seiko was doing. It was certainly unlike any examination he had had before. He shuddered a bit, not in pain or distaste, but simply from the strangeness of the whole event. That was...odd. Indra said, trying to wrap his head around what had just happened. Somehow those little metal balls would map out his neural impulses or something, whatever that meant. As the conversation turned back towards helping Seiko find proper "materials", Indra couldn't help but drift in thought to his mother. What Seiko was proposing seemed decent enough. She'd take only the scum of society, those who had made it clear they were a threat to innocent lives and deemed unfit to coexist within the Republic. It was noble and lives that would otherwise be wasted warring and killing could help benefit the whole of society.

However, his mother was technically a missing-nin, or Nukenin as Seiko put it. Would he be willing to drag her back to the Republic and allow Seiko to experiment on her? It was a bridge he wasn't quite ready to cross, but would deal with should the need arise. For the time being, what Seiko was proposing seemed decent and fair. He'd operate in a sort of grey area of course, but he could take each on a case-by-case basis. It was also pleasant to hear that Seiko didn't mind if they were dead upon delivery. That meant all he was really doing was recycling a body that would otherwise have been left somewhere out in the wastelands by Hunter-Nin anyway.  Hmm I think that's doable. Is there anyone or any useful characteristic you're tracking in particular right now? As a genin, I probably can't help much since we're pretty confined to the Republic, but maybe once I pass my exams I can venture out a bit more.
