Post by Atsuko on Sept 2, 2020 17:25:28 GMT
Kosho thanked her for the meal, and it wasn't too long before both of them got right into eating. While he didn't say anything in particular about the food he just got, there was also the fact that he was too busy eating to really comment on it. In a way, that was it's own compliment. She couldn't help but smile at her little accomplishment in serving an acceptable meal to a friend. All of her training really was coming in handy at this rate.
As their first portions draw to a close, Kosho begins to laugh a little at the ironic state of things. It prompted Atsuko to raise a brow, and listen intently to what he had to say about Asmoskon... Yeah, that kind of strength would be useful, if the guy could be trusted at all. She had the feeling he couldn't be, though. That was kind of the problem in dealing with someone like him. " I don't really know if he can be trusted..." She starts her response, thinking over the words for a moment. " I mean... The stories I heard about the guy. About the "King of West City"... He's done a lot of horrible things, and he's shown no remorse for it." , she pauses, then looking over to Kosho. " You know, as I'm starting to learn in Bounty Hunting... There's so many ways to track criminals now, and record the things they've done. He doesn't have a very small list of crimes under his belt." The Knight sighs. " Personally, I want nothing else to do with him. But I'm thinking of keeping an eye on him so he doesn't hurt anyone else." With that addressed, Kosho then asked how they should handle telling other people about all of this. That caused Atsuko to straighten out as she considered the implications of spreading their message carelessly. " Well, for one thing. It sounds pretty unreal, people wouldn't really have a reason to believe us. And even if they did, it might cause a lot of panic." , she begins. " And if the wrong people hear about it, they might try to take advantage of the situation." Still, it wasn't like they'd be doing all of this alone either. They just needed to be smart about this. " I would recommend only sharing this information with people you can trust your life to. Until then, let people enjoy the peace for a little while longer." Kosho

Post by Kosho on Sept 2, 2020 20:02:37 GMT
Atsuko ended up following suit with Kosho in regards to their meals. Two Saiyans on the outskirts of a city, eating a dinosaur at a pretty huge campfire. That's not something you hear about every day. Obviously not on Earth. At least, that's what Kosho thought. After Kosho proposed the funny and ironic idea of working with Asmoskon, it was disappointing, to say the least, that Atsuko didn't find it that much amusing. Of course, it wasn't upsetting for the Patch Saiyan. He was just a little concerned that his idea wasn't shared with his friend, and a little embarrassed, too. One thing was for certain, though: he didn't exactly feel the same way as Atsuko about the white haired man. He knew he was some kind of criminal, but in that fight they had together and in their interactions, Kosho felt like he was a different guy. Maybe he was being too naive? Maybe he's letting his empathy get the better of him? Maybe he's not wrong about him at all? He wasn't sure.
It was clear Atsuko didn't like the man. She even said herself that she'd rather have nothing to do with him. However, when all was said and done, would they have to rely on him, after all? Would the Earth depend on people like Asmoskon to ensure it's safety? These were the thoughts running through the Saiyan's head. Once Atsuko finished, he voiced his concern. "I haven't heard the stories that you heard about him. Actually, I just found out today he was a criminal. Y'know, when you revealed it and everything during our fight. It was strange and shady as to why earlier today people were avoiding him on the sidewalk, and now I know the reason why. Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting your intuition or feelings at all. If anything, you're probably more right about him than I am. I just felt it was strange. I didn't get that feeling from him when I was fighting him. Maybe he just turns into a different kinda guy whenever he fights?"
Kosho shrugged in response to his own question. He didn't know the reason why Asmoskon seemed the way he did to him while they were fighting. If anything, he may be the one getting duped into trusting him or thinking he may be somewhat friendly. However, in order to keep up appearances, and in the event that he turns out to be not such a bad guy, Kosho will continue to remain friendly with him. It'd seem weird if all of a sudden he saw him as his sworn enemy. It'd probably also be best to not be around Atsuko and Asmoskon at the same time. Atsuko also had a good point when it came spreading the news, or the supposed news. If they were to spread this kind of information, it could go south in multiple different ways. It could make people panic, make some people think they can do whatever they want, and even still, some people could just flat out ignore it and not believe them. The news can sway the public in any direction.
Nonetheless, they did need more fighters. While Asmoskon may not be a good fit, at least for now, there was some slight ray of hope. If Kosho found anyone he could definitely trust, he can let them know about what Atsuko and himself are worrying about. The Saiyan pondered for a moment, a hand on his chin, reflecting on the people he met so far. Right off the bat, he felt as if there were at least two people he knew he could trust with this information. However, he'd keep this to himself at least for a little longer and assess if they're actually good to trust. The situation could call for drastic measures. Kosho removed his hand from his chin and finally responded to everything Atsuko had to say. "Yeah, you're right. We should definitely let the era of peace remain for now. I wouldn't wanna cause a public panic, especially since we don't know for sure when or if they'll come, whoever those assassins are. I think I know maybe a couple people I could rely on with this information, but I don't know for sure. I'll see if they're trustworthy enough."

Kosho had his disagreements when it came to Asmoskon, and she would at least hear him out to the very last word on the subject before raising any objections to it. He even stressed that he wasn't doubting Atsuko's intuition or her words. But he just felt like there might be more to him... The Knight shrugs, ultimately she couldn't say. " Truthfully, I don't know if there is more to him or not. I do know that if he takes any further criminal action, I'll gladly step in to stop him." Atsuko states, as she considers what a future meeting between him and her might be like. " And I certainly wouldn't trust him as far as my nose is long." , she adds with a small smile. Considering she didn't have a very large nose, that was quite the jab at Asmoskon. " But I can concede that if he changes his ways. I'll view him in a different light. I won't hold my breath, though." After that, Kosho seemed to agree that being careless with the information would be a real good way to screw things up on Earth and possibly elsewhere. In a situation like this, you really did have to play the cards close to your chest. Something that he was catching onto even as he stated that he knew two people that might fit the bill perfectly. " Well, I trust your judgement, Kosho! And if you ever wish to arrange a meeting between all of us, know that I'll gladly attend it." Still... The big unknown in all of this is that they just didn't know when the Assassins might appear, if they even do. The only lead they had to work on is that they were targeting important figures, and off the top of her head, the King of Earth was one such figure. If they were really going after the Monarchy next... Then the pattern matched up. " It's a shame that we can basically only wait for things to escalate, though... Ideally, I would prefer to meet them head on before anything happens." Atsuko then lets out a small, frustrated sigh. Kosho

What Atsuko said following Kosho's statement about Asmoskon was definitely her truth, but it was also amusing to Kosho. He smiled and chuckled a little bit. If she was going to stop him from taking any more criminal action, then that would mean she was going to fight him, and if there was a fight, there was entertainment. The Patch Saiyan wouldn't be caught dead without seeing that fight. It would be an amazing fight to see, no doubt about it. Plus, depending on the circumstances, he might be able to fight, too, which only made the Saiyan even more excited. "I figured as much. With how you were talking about him, I think the only way you'd be greeting that guy is with a fist to the face. Honestly, I wanna be there for that fight, to watch the both of you duke it out. It'd be an interesting matchup. Plus, if you might need backup, I'll always be there to tag in for ya."
Kosho's smirk turned into a frown relatively quickly. The confused Saiyan didn't bother to hide his confusion, he was an open book at this point in time. He tilted his head in confusion and raised an eyebrow a little. Leaning forward, Kosho spoke up again as he looked at the smirking Atsuko. "But, your nose is actually kinda nicely shaped. What're you talking abo-" Suddenly, the wires in Kosho's head did a high five, and he finally got the joke Atsuko was trying to make. He felt no shame in complimenting Atsuko's nose, though. At the moment, he didn't really think it was seriously weird, and he wasn't even trying to flirt with her either. The Saiyan just almost let the joke fly over his head and thought it was a serious comment. Kosho leaned back in his log seat again and lifted his head, his confusion disappearing. "Ooohhh, I get it now. We're gonna pretend I didn't say that, right?"
Atsuko ends up admitting that she wouldn't try anything to harm him and she'd probably trust him as well, if he really does change his ways. She wouldn't hold her breath when it came to this possibility, and Kosho responded with a muffled chuckle. "I wouldn't either, to be honest. Might be holding it for a long time." Atsuko then stated that she trusted his judgement, something Kosho very much appreciated and valued. Attaining a friend on this new world, he'd finally gotten to the stage where said friend trusted him. Trust, an interesting concept that he thought he didn't deserve after the King's death. Look at the progress he made now. He wasn't the same character he was a month ago. "You'll prolly be the first person I tell, honestly. So, just wait on it. You're getting the special invitation card."
Atsuko seemed to trail off before long. In fact, it looked like she was exactly where Kosho was when she left to hunt the dinosaur. She voiced her concern, about how she's frustrated that all Earth's defenders can do is just wait for the assassins to come. Her sigh confirmed that feeling. Kosho needed to do something to lighten up the mood, and at least put her on an optimistic track. Staying pensive for a moment, an idea formed into his head. More so a fact rather than an idea. "Hey, don't sweat that, too much. Think about it: if the assassins are spending their time tryna look for us and make their way to Earth, chances are, they're not too concerned about training. Not only do we have the home court advantage here, but we can literally spend all the time in the world training, waiting for them to come. When they get here, we'll be so much stronger than when we first started training, we'd be able to give 'em a run for their money." Showing a big smile to top off his little analysis, Kosho beamed optimism and hope for the future. "Don't start having doubts and concerns on me, yet. We didn't even start training."

Despite some of Kosho's reservations, he was at least willing to help her out if Asmoskon really did continue being a source of trouble, even if it was mostly because he was excited for a fight. Atsuko couldn't fault him for that too much. Running into someone that could really give you a challenge seemed rare anymore. The Knight outpaced most Humans for completely understandable reasons. So whenever she ran into someone that was actually stronger than her...
Well, she couldn't help but think about challenging herself against that person in order to become stronger herself! " I'd welcome your assistance if it comes to that." , she then responds. Soon thereafter Kosho began to express his confusion over the joke she stated earlier. But it didn't take too long for the comment to click in his head, and he then added that they were just going to forget what he was saying, he hoped." Haha. Don't worry, it's a bit of an unusual joke, I'll admit." , the Saiyan replies to him. Showing that no harm was done. It also seemed like he was of a similar opinion in regards to Asmoskon actually changing. But still, they both supposed that the possibility was there, however slim it might be. But one of the things she figured might be holding that back is...
His own attitude. It would be real easy for Asmoskon to justify everything he was doing, and as long as he was doing that, it was the same as running from all the horrible acts he committed. Anyway, Kosho also said that she would probably be the first one invited to such a meeting, which prompted her to nod in response to his words.
That being said, the atmosphere around the camp did become a little solemn, at least until Kosho decided to lighten the mood with his optimism and hope for the future. Even Atsuko couldn't stay down in the dumps for too long with someone like that at her side. " Yeah... You're right. We gotta look at the positives. We have the advantage right now, and all we can do is press on that as much as we can." Still, the idea that they'd get even stronger than this... That sounded pretty wild to her, and she definitely wanted to see what might come of that. " Well, one thing I know for sure..." , she pauses for a moment, now looking to Kosho with a smile. " Our training is going to be fun. Let's just keep it out of the cities next time." Kosho

Atsuko apologized for her joke, but she shouldn't need to do that for Kosho being so slow. At least, that's what he thought. If anything, it was on him for letting it go over his head. Still, he appreciated the joke. It was nice that he and Atsuko were able to get along like this. Maybe her and Renko would get along someday? That would be nice. Kosho smiled and laughed off his embarrassment. "Nah, don't be sorry for that. It's my fault for being a little slow on the uptake." Thankfully enough, he was able to change Atsuko's attitude to a more positive outlook on the future. It was true. Chances are, they could do all the preparing they need while these assassins come to Earth. Considering how small Saiyan pods are, and if they're using models similar to those, training in those would be a distant dream. All they'd really be able to do is sleep and talk. On the other hand, Kosho, Atsuko, and the others would have plenty of time to either catch up to them or surpass them.
It may sound crazy, and it may even be crazy. However, Kosho knew it was possible. If a Saiyan could get as strong as they did in times back then to become a Super Saiyan, then it's definitely possible to do it now. They just needed to get stronger. There's even the Oozaru they could use. If desperate times called for desperate measures, they could use that transformation. As much as it made Kosho uncomfortable, not being able to control that form, it was still worth it. Which brought an observation to Kosho: where was Atsuko's tail? That was a question he'd ask later. Atsuko looked to Kosho with a smile and showed her excitement for their sparring sessions. Keeping it out of cities was probably the best idea. Destroying a park was one thing, but if they stayed in cities after getting stronger...who knows what could happen. Kosho laughed and returned the smile. "Yeah, definitely not in the city. Who knows what we'd destroy at that point."
"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to your tail? Do they normally get removed at birth here?" Kosho scratched his head and apologized for the randomness of that question. "Ah, sorry for the randomness of that question. I don't mean any offense or anything. I was just thinking that even if we don't exactly get as strong as we need to be to face off against them, we can transform into the Oozaru." Kosho's tail flapped behind him, showing itself once again like a child too scared to say "hello." Looking back at his tail, he explained the Oozaru transformation a little bit. "It's also known as the 'Great Ape' transformation. You activate it by looking into the full moon, and if you have a tail. Only Saiyans can access this. Unfortunately, the only downside to this transformation is that I won't have control over my actions. I'll turn into a ravenous, savage beast, who's sole goal is to eliminate everything in sight." He didn't want to make light of the situation, but worrying about those specifics right now would be pointless. There's a chance they might have to use the Oozaru in the upcoming battle, and Kosho would have to be mentally prepared for that. Shrugging, Kosho finished his explanation. "I guess if it comes down to it, one of us Saiyans would have to transform, and everyone else clears out while shit gets real."

Even the little misunderstandings only offered something to laugh at and keep the spirits up. A part of Atsuko wished that interactions like this were always so simple. But it just felt like some people had cold hearts and didn't care about the connections and bonds forged with others. They just cared about the more material things, and an endless pursuit of power. Atsuko wanted to get stronger too, but it was to serve a greater goal. Not simply to be known as the greatest warrior ever.
After musing on that for a moment, Kosho agrees to keep all of the training, sparring, and fighting out of the cities. Atsuko gives a nod at that. " Glad we're in agreement. Something tells me Rumia wouldn't like cleaning up our messes all the time." , she replies with a small smile afterwards. Really the Knight should have been thinking about that even in her first fight, but it couldn't be helped, only fixed now.
After that though, Kosho asks about her tail, and whether or not it gets removed on birth. She begins to fiddle with the back of her robes while he apologizes for the question, hoping not to have caused any offense. Atsuko's tail pops out rather unceremoniously and then curls to a rest at her side, allowing Kosho to get a look at it; it was a pretty unremarkable Saiyan tail in all but the color, which was a silvery-white color." No offense taken, Kosho." , she then responds. " I just tend to keep my tail hidden. I learned pretty quickly in training that it was a weak spot. Although after training it enough, it became less sensitive... It was just habit for me to still keep it hidden, I guess." , she adds with a small shrug." I do know about that transformation though... My adoptive mother told me about it, and trained me to resist it's effects. Unfortunately, all of that training only helps me in preventing the transformation. I still can't control it... But at least I don't have to worry about turning during a full moon." , she then explains.
The Knight then falls silent, considering how this form could possibly be used against the Assassins... True, the power would be an immense increase. But being unable to control it was too dangerous. " It should be an absolute last resort. Our allies would be in danger, and there's no guarantee they can escape in time for us to use it." Kosho

Just like that, Kosho and Atsuko became sparring partners, and their contract consisted of not training in highly populated areas. If they were to get stronger, training in the city would only prove to be dangerous for those around them. If they could destroy a park with how strong they were today, imagine what they could do if they were just a little bit stronger and threw down in a city. Even landscapes would be no match for their training. Atsuko acknowledged Kosho's agreement, and then mentioned something yet again that she mentioned earlier that day. What exactly was a Rumia? He had to find out for himself, or else that question would be plaguing him, forever.
"Hey, you said that earlier today, too. Something about a 'Rumia?' What exactly is that? Is that a person?" Whoever it was, if they had the ability to fix all the places they wreck from their training, then that must mean they're stronger than Atsuko and Kosho currently are. Just how strong is this individual? More importantly, is this person a really good fight? If they are, then I wanna meet 'em, too! Once Kosho inquired Atsuko about her tail, and apologized afterwards, she pulled out her tail as if it was the most nonchalant thing ever. He felt embarrassed, explaining the Oozaru to her when he didn't even need to. Lucky for Atsuko, though, she trained herself to resist the transformation. However, in a way, it kind of shot Kosho's idea out the window, at least for her to accompany him.
Still, it was a long shot idea. If Kosho were to transform into a Great Ape, he would have absolutely no control over the form. "If I were to do it though, it'd be my first time. The Saiyans on Patch take great care in not transforming into a Great Ape, especially on accident. At least you're able to resist the form. If I were to look at the full moon, I dunno what would happen. I never had any training in it." Little does Kosho know, that form is unattainable for him. Him never transforming into the form does in part have to do with the fact that he never dared look at a full moon, but also because his genes make him unable to transform into the Oozaru. This Saiyan is a genetic malfunction when it comes to this transformation, and as such, he manifests his Saiyan power in a different way. He just hasn't realized it, yet.
Kosho crossed his arms and closed his eyes, playing the scenario in his head. The Oozaru was a powerful transformation that increased the user's power tenfold, at the cost of their control over their actions. Such a transformation could only be used at night, when the full moon appears. In order to safely use this form, every ally they have would have to evacuate the premises, leaving only the Oozaru and the assassin there to fight. There was just one problem that Kosho could think of, assuming they follow this strategy to the T. "Yeah, I can't say that it wouldn't be a last resort. I can't say I know any other tactics that could secure us victory. We'd definitely need to evacuate everyone we know and care about if we're gonna use the form. That being said, how in the hell are we gonna get that person out of the form?" Getting someone out of the Oozaru was a lot harder than getting them into the form. Sure, all they needed was a full moon to transform, which is why once that moon is gone, they'll revert back to normal. That is, if the people of Earth are willing to sacrifice their moon. If they aren't, then they'd have to try and cut off the Oozaru's tail, or beat them to a pulp until they come out of the transformation. "I guess our safest bet would be destroying the moon, but I don't think that would really be an option."

Ah, there it was. Kosho asked about who or what Rumia was. Now, this was a bit of a tricky thing to explain. See, the whole 'I met a god' thing sounded like a totally crazy story. Plus Rumia was technically here to preserve balance, and probably wouldn't appreciate all the extra attention... So, slight modifications to the story were necessary. If Rumia wanted to correct anything, then that was alright." Rumia is an Archmage that I met. To put it simply... She uses really powerful magic. Something like fixing up a park is easy for her. I can try to arrange a meeting between you two sometime, if you want to meet her." , there, that would do for now. It's not that she didn't trust Kosho -- hell if anything he might even fully believe her. It was just a case of the fact that the Knight PROBABLY shouldn't be openly speaking of the Supreme Kais... Even if there was a temptation to do so.
How many could say they were actually helping one?! In any case, Kosho then began to explain a little more detail behind the Oozaru transformation, and that it would be his first time using it. " Yeah. My mother told me that all of the training I received wouldn't help me in controlling it, just to resist turning... If you like, maybe I can help you with that training too? Then you'd only use it when you fully intend to." Might not be a bad idea, since they were considering the last resort of using the transformation. And if they would only be at risk of using it when they were good and ready to, that would certainly be more ideal... But the greater concern, of course, was how to turn the person back. If they were left alone, they could cause an excessive amount of damage." Yeah... It's definitely something that can't be used lightly. We might take care of the Assassins, but then our allies would have to deal with an even greater threat then." , she sighs lightly. Maybe it was better to just not rely on the power at all?" Being honest... I think I'd rather not have to use a power like that. I'd rather we got strong enough to fight our enemies without something like that." , she pauses for a moment, then smiling lightly. " So I guess that means we'll have to train really hard for that to be a reality, huh?" Kosho

An archmage, huh? Kosho had never heard of such a being before. Before Atsuko explained Rumia further, he adopted a look of confusion comparable to a dog who doesn't know where the ball went. After Atsuko explained, the immense look of confusion went away, but he was still little confused. Someone who uses powerful magic, huh? I guess that's who an archmage is. Thinking about it further, Kosho got some ideas that a normal person wouldn't get. Of course, this is Kosho we're talking about. The most normal thing about him is his height and hair. Wait, if she uses powerful magic, then maybe I can train with that? Tryna resist magic can be a part of my training to get stronger! Remember that look of confusion Kosho had before? At this point, it had completely turned into excitement and happiness, and the Saiyan from Patch was standing up with his fists balled up in front of him.
"Wait, you'd really introduce me to her? Hell yes, I'll take you up on that!" Realizing he had done a full 180º and that this may have come as a surprise, Kosho sat down immediately and cleared his throat. "Uh, I mean, yeah, sure. I'd love to meet her." The Saiyan was able to contain his excitement for now, but the thought of facing up against a powerful archmage was still exciting him. He was almost certain he'd lose against her, but at the very least, he'd be able to get stronger after facing her. It'd be great if he could really get beat up from it, too. Saiyans come back stronger from near-death experiences, after all. However, maybe thinking this way would only freak out the archmage and Atsuko out, a little bit. Kosho knows that at the very least, he'd be trying his hardest against this Rumia.
One thing was for sure, Atsuko's mother seemed to be just as resourceful and crafty as her daughter. Despite not teaching her how to control the form, she taught Atsuko how to resist transforming into the Oozaru. In and of itself, that was an incredible feat. "Still, it's convenient and amazing you were able to learn how to resist it. There are plenty of Saiyans on Patch who wished they had the ability you have. I know I would." Pondering on the offer Atsuko proposed, Kosho leaned back with his tail propping him up again. He wondered the risks it entailed, training to control the Oozaru, how long it would take. Would they have a long enough time to control the form with the assassins on their way to Earth? No one could know for sure.
"I dunno for sure, but I'll definitely take you up on it. If we feel we needa rely on the Oozaru, then training to control it would do nothing but help us. Plus, I'm sure you'd be able to handle taking me out if I go outta control." Kosho leaned forward again, getting off his tail, and flashed a smile of confidence to Atsuko. While it was true that Kosho believed Atsuko could get him out of the form, his thinking may be a little naive. The form does increase one's power by a multiplier of ten, and he's basing his assumption that Atsuko can take care of him if he went out of control on the basis that she can get stronger with the ability she displayed earlier in their fight. The Patch Saiyan was assuming she could get infinitely stronger the more she gets damaged, not that it caps. Still though, just in case, it'd prolly be nice to have at least a third person with us.
Atsuko further expressed her concern about the form, sighing a little thinking about it, and even going so far as to say they shouldn't rely on it at all. The conversation seemed to be swaying that way, too. There was nothing wrong with that. In fact, Kosho was in total agreement because of two factors. The first was because the Oozaru itself was so hard to control. It wasn't like they were just getting a power boost, they were transforming their form and their mind into that of a powerful beast in order to get a lot stronger. A double-edged sword, in a way. The second reason was because if they were to get stronger in their base forms, any form they take afterwards would get stronger, as well. Besides, if all the fighters they collect to face off against these assassins were the same strength, and they all got a lot stronger, chances were these assassins wouldn't stand a chance against them.
Kosho shrugged to Atsuko and expressed his thoughts as briefly as he could. "Hey, I can't blame you for wanting that. If that's the call you wanna make, boss, then that's what we'll do. The form is hard to control, after all, and if we all get stronger and are all around the same power level, there's no way we'd lose. The assassins, however many there are, wouldn't stand a chance." The smile and comment Atsuko made to Kosho only made his Saiyan blood pump with excitement. He chuckled a little, and retorted to the Saiyan Knight. "Definitely. I'm thinking I needa get beat to a pulp a few times and recover in order to get immensely stronger. But that pain will definitely be worth it!"

Kosho seemed a little lost at the description that she was giving of Rumia, it didn't quite click in her head at first, but then she remembered... He's from a whole other world with it's own culture. He probably hasn't even heard what a Mage is, let alone an Archmage. But fortunately that look of confusion soon gave way to excitement as he expressed how he felt about being able to meet her. Of course, how fast the 180 was, that was something that he caught onto and soon cleared his throat before picking a more appropriate response.
Atsuko just gave a calm nod, evidently not too bothered by his energetic reply. " Sure, I'll ask her if she's okay with meeting you, then. I have a feeling that if I vouch for you as being an ally I can count on in battle, she'll have no problems with it." The Saiyan then considers how Rumia might respond. There was the possibility that she might agree to train Kosho... But even if not, the two had basically agreed to keep up their efforts regardless. Still, Atsuko hoped things would work out in that regard, she did know that the Kai felt a little bad about not being able to be more active in all the stuff going on -- wasn't really her fault. It was a matter of her position and the rules.
Even if she found them a bit excessive and silly, they were worth following. That's why Rumia was following the books on this stuff, even if it went against her instinct otherwise. Though the subject of instinct does tie nicely into the Oozaru form, which becomes the subject of discussion once more as he comments how impressive it was to learn to resist it." It certainly wasn't easy. And if Micaela wasn't there to control my energy, I doubt I would have been able to learn how to prevent the transformation... I still remember how she did it, though. And the same principles should apply, if you're interested." , she leaves the offer on the table.
Seems he was willing to do that, and expressed his confidence that she might even be able to put a stop to him if he somehow raged out of control. Atsuko was a little less enthusiastic about that assessment, though. " Well, I would certainly try. From what I've been told though... Fighting that kind of power wouldn't be very easy. You're already a tough fight as it is, Kosho!" Atsuko then replies. Deciding not to bring down the mood too much with how doubtful she was. The truth was that she would do he very best if the situation called for it, and that was all anyone could ask for. At least there was fortune in that Kosho was willing not to use that kind of transformation to deal with the Assassins -- if there was a way to control it, then it would be an entirely different discussion.
But there were too many unknown variables as is. Best to not tempt it. " Well. I can't promise I'll get strong enough to challenge you THAT much... But I'll definitely give you my best efforts to make it the hardest training we've had yet." Atsuko felt like it was all slowly coming together... She was forming an alliance that could stand against her enemies. Now she needed more resources, and more strength. The stronger they could all get in as short a time span as possible, the better. The wheels were already turning on just how to make that happen. Kosho
