The harsh 5th-year instructor of Simetra Island, the training grounds of the future yu-yan.
Her technical skills are great; there is no question on that, Master Zorin, but her level of discipline is lacking. She may have the talent of a fifth-year student, but even a first year knows better than to offer a rebuttal to an instructor. This isn't the first occurrence either. It's disruptive to my class and unworthy behavior for a prospective yu-yan.
She has too much fire in her. She might have the talent; hell, she might even be stubborn enough to find a way to pass the final exam, but she'll only suffer in the long run.
Shiori, congratulations. You showed true wisdom and self-awareness that not many fourteen-year-olds possess. Forcing yourself to become yu-yan when you do not have the spirit of one- when you are incapable of divorcing yourself from the world at large and simply acting like a weapon, it would be a horrible mistake. That is a burden that I would not wish on anyone.
