 * The title doesn't have much of anything to do with what I'm about to present ‒ I just felt like making it sound interesting.

Anyway, I have a slight concern that I'd like for you (or anyone of notable profession) to help me address. Then again, this isn't something you just have to do ‒ it's more so of a request (so don't feel obligated). Anyhow, my concern is this: I have an idea, but I don't know how to put it in action in terms of either the Fanon Canon or the Canon's respective universes / procedures. I've managed to cheese my way through with some degree of common sense, but I seem to have hit the wall known as reality. You see, I'd like to implement something I saw in a Manwha onto this particular Fanfiction, but I don't want to completely duplicate it. In fact, it's just the idea of doing it this way, that I'd like to actually mimic.

I've taken to trying to do something with Seijō Reiryoku since I first asked you (Seireitou) for permission to allow Mukei use of it. Since then, I've been fumbling around with how I should incorporate it into his fighting style. I strayed from my original goal, which was to actually write something about it (on Mukei's character sheet), and began work on Kōsa. I intended to take Seijō Reiryoku way from Mukei, and give it to Kōsa ‒ which I've already put into action. However, I've been at a loss for ideas when it comes to what Kōsa should do with it. Sometime in the near past (i.e a few months ago), I managed to squeeze Telekinesis out of it ‒ something that I'm quite proud of integrating into Kōsa's character. Now, I'm trying to move onto Kōsa's heavy hitting arsenal, and don't quite know how to go about his Seishōrei.

As you've notice (due to his immediate change in appearance), Kōsa is modeled after Jue Viole Grace from Tower of God. In that web comic (this draws back to the influence I mentioned earlier, and sheds some light on the problem that I have), Jue Viole Grace has a giant thorn that floats upon his back. This thorn, discovered later on in the series, empowers the protagonist by forcefully controlling the energy around him ‒ granting him immeasurable strength. In thinking about how The Tower of God works, I've come to realize (more or less) Reishi is similar to the energy in which they manipulate. So, I've tried to integrate the concept of the Thorn into Kōsa's character. However, I've decided to do this via two means.

The first, which I've partially discussed with you (Seireitou), is through Shinuchi. Unlike Minato, Seireitou, and Botan, Kōsa doesn't have some-kind of bloodline that results in an outbreak of empowerment via lineage. As of right now, all he has going for him is the Sōzōshin and Mazoku races (respectively). So, when I envision his Shinuchi, I envision Gohan's Unlock Potential ‒ as no real transformation takes place. I also don't envision it being a large power up (despite comparing it to Gohan's potential unleashed), and don't necessarily want it to be.

The second, which I've partially mentioned within this, is through Seijō Reiryoku. I want Kōsa to have something similar to the Thorn which filters, nurtures, and processes the assimilation of inner and outer energy. What I'm looking to achieve, however, is the ability to make Kōsa stand on equal (if not relatively close) footing with his opponents. As you (Seireitou) can see, Kōsa isn't the type of person to lunge full force into commitment. Whilst he has chosen to follow Hakuda, and fight with his bare hands, he hasn't accepted the hard road of forever long training. Though, don't confuse that with lack of initiative. Kōsa gets things done quick, and demands results immediately so as to continue on with his life, and push on.

Anyway, with some insight on how I've been taking things, let me discuss with you the utmost concern that I have. As I said before, I do not know how to combine these two echelons of power together. I'm also aware that if (by some means) I succeed, that the time limit on such would be limited to mere minutes (if not just a single one), and I'm okay with that. I'm also okay with the idea of having Kōsa spend hours on preparing energy for conventional use. In fact, I've began to think of a way to deal with that particular part of this equation. Right now, I'm thinking that all of those skills (used at once) would grant Kōsa around five minutes of empowerment (and I do mean for this limit to be daily).

Anyhow, do you (Seireitou) have any ideas? If I have to give up one or the other to achieve the final result (an immeasurable boost in power), I'm okay with that. However, in doing that, I believe I reserve the right to nurture said ability, and work on Kōsa's ability to prolong the effects. If I have to choose Seijō Reiryoku, I will find ways for him to elongate the time from five to ten minutes (so on and so forth). I don't know how I'll achieve it with Shinuchi, but I'm sure it's possible. If you need more insight on how I envision this, I've included some bellow.


 * The way that I have it pictured, is Shinuchi being a release of Kōsa's true self, which results in the creation of a husk. This husk, when paired with Seijō Reiryoku / Seishōrei, can act as a container for the Seijō Reiryoku that Kōsa has prepared and nurtured throughout the day (or during the time in which he rests / sleeps). Thus, in activating Shinuchi, Kōsa's body becomes capable of handling the large reservoir of Seijō Reiryoku he has prepared ‒ resulting in a huge power boost.
