Shinrei would think in his mind without saying it: [i]Titles are for the weak-minded who try to prove themselves. Who needs to prove themselves when they already know where they stand? I don't know why fools get so indulged in their self-proclaimed titles anyway. Not like it makes any difference. Doesn't make them any better and certainly doesn't change the impression people have on them.

Unlike them, I do not need titles. Another form of dependency that I do not need posing a hindrance toward my cause. Dueling is all about showing no sign of weakness. There is no place for such trivialities in a duel.[/i]
