An armored figure glowers out over the Hinoto-Ri COMP network

"I found the actual combat skills displayed recently at these so-called persona fights somewhat lacking. You may understand how to use your sorcerous.... things, but if you need to learn how to fight with bullet, blade, mind and hand, seek out Cerberus. I shall instruct you on how to not completely embarrass yourself when asked to fight."

In a place like this, is it particularly necessary to know how to fight to the death with bullet, blade, mind and hand?

The fact that you ask that questions show that you have never known war as I have.

You're the kinda guy who goes to movies and complains that the special effects don't look real enough, aren't you?

It was just mindless fun, dude. Take it down a notch.

[greyerrant]

No.

[pistolsakimbo]

WHAT?!

[Rune's voice is rather loud coming over the COMP, mostly because she's so close to the screen.]

People were fighting with their Personas, and I missed it?!

[Video]

[greyerrant]

Yes.

[Oh, hi. Here's one of those Persona fighters. S'up?]

We were limited to only use our Personas, and they are not as strong as some of us are used to. Some of us are capable of fighting.

[greyerrant]

Show me.

[poweryetunknown]

[Yeah he's not impressed. Video back at you.]

Well we were only allowed to use our Persona things, so we couldn't have used other weapons even if we wanted to.

[Though he's probably gonna need to learn some sort of combat... hm.]

[greyerrant]

Even so, it failed to impress.

Like Yu-san said, we were restricted in what we were permitted to do.

... however, I would like to learn how to fight more effectively otherwise.

[ He's pretty lacking in formal training, all things considered. Minato's got a knack for picking up something and using it all right enough to fight Shadows. But Shadows are less sentient than demons seem usually, and Minato's not sure how he feels about fighting those, either. What he is sure about, however, is that it would be useful to learn more about combat that doesn't rely just on the things in his head. ]

That I can teach, mortal.

[misery_hates_company]

I think my magic skills are more than adequate in dishing out damage without relying to such brute methods, thank you.

[greyerrant]

I've seen many who have thought in that way perish. Master all your weapons, or prepare to be slain by the one that you chose not to learn.

What?

Don't insult the skills of people you know nothing about.

[greyerrant]

I've seen enough.

[... ... okay, while he could agree with learning how to fight on principle?] I don't think that's the best way to get students.

[He'll just avoid bringing up any of the other topics that he could mention. Everyone else seems to have that covered.]

[greyerrant]

I'm not a salesman. My craft is death.

[destinedwaters]

I believe the rules stated that they could only use their Personas in the first place.

[Wait. Was that a backhanded insult to magic-?]

... Also, I don't believe that is a good approach when it comes to getting prospective students to approach you.

Even so, I've seen psykers do a better job before the edict of Nikea.

[otakuro]

It may not have been a real battle, but Atsuro felt pretty sore nonetheless. He suppresses a groan as he rolls over in bed and flicks on his side of the COMP.

"You know we weren't actually fighting each other, right? I mean, you get disqualified if you actually hit the other person. It was totally between the Personas."

[greyerrant]

I've seen more impressive psyker-battles in my time as well. And I've seen how a great deal of people fight well before that, in the undertaking against the Anoli.

[universebeware]

Well, call me relieved to finally see someone that can appreciate a well-made weapon over these Persona things.
