Jinto watched as Ellfen's attention landed on him.

 "Jinto. And if you prove your strength, I'll join you, but if you don't, I think you get the idea."

An interesting prospect, Makki seemed to be skilled but he wasted his potential as a water bender with his pranks and his follies. If it was a no holds barred fight, it would be more interesting, but a fight of this level would have to make do. Plus he still needed a team, It seemed as if he wanted to join a team, he would have to make his interests apparent. Jinto unfolded his arms and stopped the spinning plate between his fingers. With his usual bored grimace on his face he spoke, "I accept, If I want to be on a team I'll need practice...". It was dependent on Makki, if he didn't fight, Jinto would be lost on a chance to improve himself.

He looked over at the first years and noticed they were leaving the dining room. "If you really want to fight, just tell me when and where" Jinto said, "but if you aren't serious, I will not fight you", there was a slight on one's honor should they fight an enemy who does not have the heart to fight at 100% , a quality Jinto found in many of the other students in the school and was disappointed by.
