Aye, he is itching for real combat. The emphasis on [i]real[/i]. He shouldn't view peasants as a challenge, no matter what rallying cry or anarchist belief they may have adopted. If there were rumors that they were undergoing extensive training, and had been producing arms and armor to rival that of the Balenian military, then yes. He would be willing to do whatever it took to crush them.

However, considering his background (military upbringing/father, training, relationships with some of the veteran soldiers), it is likely that he would have heard of the tales of battle, against opponents from various walks of life. And disgruntled peasants following the words and ideas of a young girl wouldn't exactly satisfy his idea of a "worthy fight."

More specifically, for the young patriotic soldier, he holds an idea in his head of his nation and it's defenders. It may be significantly romanticized from its true nature, but he sees himself as a virtuous fighter for his country, his ruler, and his people. Which is part of the reason he is conflicted about becoming Sendai. He believes that it would be akin to deserting and fleeing to another country.

So, in short, yes and no. Yes, he welcomes the chance to "be all he can be" and stand alongside the Sixth Division, but no, he isn't too keen on putting peasants to the sword, no matter how rebellious they may be.

But, I will make changes as you see fit, boss. :)

For now, I'll go ahead and make the changes to their responses.
