[quote=Axel] "It's not always the ones that pass at the top of the class that progress the furthest you know. Still with that being said, you shouldn't jump head first into battle, at least not by yourself anyways. Most of the underachievers that pass from the Academy can't wield power of the level you just demonstrated and unlock their Shikai so easily. Consider what I am saying an offer of a partnership between two Shingami. I have my own reasons for wanting to accompany you so don't think it's because I pity you in some way. You look strong and could possibly become a valuable and very promising companion in the near future but you won't if you take on the world by yourself. What's it going to be? I have time to waste if you're the type to keep one waiting so take all the time you need before answering." Kirishin said while readjusting glasses once again to his liking. [/quote] tsushiro considered his options, weighing his position over oportunities, and looked to kirishin, "consider it done. you seem rather knowledgeable, i could learn a thing or two from someone like you." tsushiro pats kirishins back, turning to the other side of the cherry blossom garden. "so, where to next? should we report this hollow dead? or hunt a few others? ive got quite a bit of time to spare." he says, looking up to the petals of one particular tree, iwhich had lost nearly all its leaves exept one.
