Mike Negotiation: 36 - 12 Negotiation = 24

When Mike came in Keiichi looked at him, giving a nod. "You must be the new student, Mike Cove-san. Of course you can have a moment of my time. I am always willing to hear the concerns and questions of other students." And then, he listened to what Mike had to say. As he listened his eyes narrowed a bit, his serious gaze placed upon Mike as one hand was placed upon the bokken upon his waist, and there it stayed for most of Mike's speech, only leaving it near the end, a sigh escaping from him at the end, followed by a small chuckle. "I admire your honesty C. Not too many in the Abyss share that same quality, the quality of being both brave and foolish enough to bare themselves out fully before others, willing to take that risk. Its admirable and if this were the feudal era I am certain you would make a fine samurai, but it is not, unfortunately, and as admirable a trait it is, you should be more wise to keep it hidden more in the future, less you be killed by one who would think you some kind of assassin..."

Keiichi stood up, gazing at Mike, looking him over for a moment, his eyes seeming to try and gaze deep into him, as if trying to gaze deep into his soul. "The Ukiha Kamikaze Ryuu is not magic at all. It is a powerful and secretive style of Kendo that I cannot simply teach you, for not only am I not skilled enough to teach you, but also you would have to seek both the permission and trust of my own master to learn it. Not only that, but from just looking at you I can tell that you lack both the basic strength and discipline to learn how to wield the basic techniques required for the Ukiha Kamikaze Ryuu or even the Senshin no Ken [i](Spirit sword for you english speaking folks)[/i] for that matter, for you only seem concerned about gathering power, and Kendo should not be learned to acquire strength for just the pursuit of strength. As a student, it is imperative that you focus on your studies and ignore the Abyss as such a topic will only damage your enjoyment of your new school environment..." 

Keiichi then stood up, having finished his lunch. He closed his notebook and put it and his bento into his bag. "If it is Kendo you do wish to learn, however; the kendo team is always welcoming new members. If you can prove that you possess the discipline or are willing to train towards it, then maybe I can teach you the basics of the Senshin no Ken...until then, head back to class. Lunch time is almost over."

With that, Keiichi walked towards the door, opening it to let Mike out first, unless Mike had anything else to add or say. Otherwise, after Mike left the morals committee room Keiichi would leave after, locking the door behind him before giving Mike a proper bow of introduction. "Forgive my rudeness for not saying this earlier, but it is nice to meet you Cove-san. I hope you enjoy your time at Gekkoukan High..." After that Mike stood up straight and turned to leave to go back to his own classroom.
