[hider=Graduation Certificate]
[b]General Assessment:[/b] Great at sorcery studies, with a clear thirst for more knowledge in the subject; absolutely awful at anything physical that isn't aiming and shooting something. The smoking habit certainly isn't helping there either. Calm, friendly, sociable, and generally well-liked, though some recruits report feeling unnerved by his tendency to dig for personal information. Protective of kids, and vocally disapproving of their presence in the program. There was an incident where a security breach led to some low-level employees' records being accessed by an unauthorized party and leaked; the blame fell on some unimportant IT guy, but some instructors suspected that Masahiro might've had something to do with it. Nothing ever got proven, though.

[b]Martial Arts:[/b] N/A. Masahiro doesn't know any real hand-to-hand techniques, but he's got a gun! That counts for something.

[b]Sorcery Technique:[/b] Contracted Spirit.
By negotiating and reaching a mutual agreement with spiritual beings like ghosts or demons, Masahiro can form a contract with them. Contracted spirits can be called to assist him in battle or in other tasks, and in exchange they can feed off of his spiritual energy.

The spirits must help Masahiro to the best of their abilities, but they are not compelled to follow his exact orders, and will chose to disregard his directives if they do not trust him and/or believe they've got a better plan. So unless a close bond is formed, spirits can be unpredictable and sometimes unreliable.

Negotiating the contract in the first place can be dangerous as well, since the spirit can always turn against Masahiro as long as the contract isn't in place. The more powerful a spirit is, and the more are contracted at the same time, the more draining it is: having more than 3 low-level spirits active for long periods of time leads to fatigue and weakness.

[b]Noteworthy Boon:[/b] Greatly proficient at programming, of both the mundane and the cybercrime varieties. Has spent nearly a decade active as a black hat hacker under the alias "GH0ST". Hacked for thrills and minor personal gains, even forming a group of like-minded individuals at some point, and so has gained a lot of experience in bypassing cybersecurity measures by exploiting both software, hardware, and the basics of social engineering.
