Thank you, Sei! I respect your opinion, and am happy to say I see where you are coming from!

In the back of my head, for seven years, I have thought everything I've done to be a waste of time. I saw no improvement in what I was doing, and cursed myself for being unproductive. However, if things are as you say, then I indeed made progress! I pushed past my former self, and was able to see the error in my one-sided beliefs. Though, abandoning such a past will be hard. The me of then, not so far off from the me of today, is still me. So, whether I can take your advice, and learn from my failures, depends on how I envision myself. As of now I feel like a rookie. I'm proud to be one! One day, as you say, I may take the top. However, I'll leave that for my dedication and passion to decide.

Now, as for who I'd like Kyoukai to train with, I'd honestly like it if you decided. Yes, I want what is best for him, but I can't figure that out until I realize what exactly can be offered. I would request Seireitou, but I don't want to strive for "the big dog" just yet. That, and I'd feel more comfortable with somebody more akin to how Kyoukai is. He is hot blooded, battle-crazed, and passionate! He is the first to jump into battle, and the last to retreat. His respect know no bounds, and his dedication has no equal! If you have anybody capable of dealing with that effectively, be they within the Doujang or not, I will be happy to have Kyoukai learn from them.

Ah! By the way! If it even matters, Kyoukai will be a primary user of the element of fire. His main weapon, because I've suddenly taken a liking to the fighting styles one is capable with it, will be two. In a way, he will be like Sanada Genjiro Yukimura from Sengoku BASARA! Though, as I do not want to heavily realy on the influence of another, he will not solely rely on his Zanpakuto and mastery over fire. He needs to be versatile in the arts! He needs to be capable of surviving against the best. He can worry about beating them once he's managed to stay alive!
