I am not the best mannered guy in town. [Like hell he is.] But I have never stuck out my tongue at anyone. Always preferred to just punch them in the face.

[Was more effective.]

And it's not as if I try to come up with morbid stuff, it comes naturally. Though if you call that morbid remind me to never use my Genma Ken on you.

[Not even in a friendly spar if Rin has so low tolerance to morbid stuff.]

I'm pretty sure that punching someone in the face is even more rude.

[ .... Errrr]

That's why I said I'm not the best mannered guy in town. And if they have earned a punch then surely they were just as rude as that.

[So the rudeness of his action is nullified by the rudeness of the other. Logic!]

Yeah, and I caused a lotta fights in my day too... but that sort of thing doesn't help anyone, even if they do deserve it. 'Least for me, it just made stuff complicated for my family.

Hn, in my case it was the opposite, then again not much more can be expected when children of seven years old are shipped to a "do or die" training to become cannon fodder.

You know you can still cause fights by sticking out your tongue, right?

Yeah, yeah, I know! [Jeez] I never said I was good at bein' polite, I just tried to do what I could.

[...]

Your dad really sucked, you know.

And did it work?

[Ikki snorts lightly at the last comment, the sad thing is that they could say that all day and it still wouldn't be enough to portray how bad it was.]

I know, what irks me the most is that he's hailed as a hero, though. He's not the only biological father that sucks, either.

OF course he isn't. [Ikki knows his does too. ...Though at least no one in their right mind thinks that his biological dad is a hero]

And then the guys that would be decent biological fathers just... Don't have children of their own and just adopt them. Guess it helps to compensate that shit.

[No one in their right mind would think that Satan is a hero or anything good. Rin is probably the only good thing that guy has ever done.]

Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad. Particularly if they're gonna be bachelors or priests anyway, like Father Fujimoto.

Is he a good man?

[Just because he's a priest doesn't mean he's "good". He doesn't remember Rin telling much about him anyway.]

Good with you?

'Course he was. [And he looks more resolved and stuff] My old man's the best guy I've ever met. He was in the Paladin at some point, you know!

[He was. Somehow it doesn't surprise Ikki as much as it should, maybe he expected it because that's what happened with Marco's father as well. Figures that when he would get to hear about great father figures they would be dead already.]

No, I didn't know, but now I do. What's the Paladin exactly, though?

Paladin's the title that the strongest exorcist in True Cross gets! The current one's kinda a tool, but I'm gonna make my way to that position and show'em all that anyone who said Father Fujimoto wasn't as good as all that they were wrong.

[That's something he can't understand. Something he doubts he will ever have, a wish to prove himself to others, to prove to others something he believes in. Ikki may argue, may try to get others to see things his way but ultimately he doesn't care if they do or not, it's not his problem. He and Saori could argue all they wanted, she wouldn't stop seeing Mitsumasa as a hero, he wouldn't stop seeing him as a bastard asshole, and it wouldn't really matter to him. And because he can't understand it, while he knows it's probably something to consider admirable, Ikki can't really think so. Rin thinks his father was a great man, that's all that matters, there's no need to show anything to anyone. In fact, would that even work? If Rin gets to that position, would that really serve to show that those who said that his father wasn't so good were wrong?

He doubts it, at least in his world he's sure that wouldn't be possible.]

So that's your goal? Become a Paladin and demonstrate that to the world?

S'half of it, anyway. [And he punches a fist into the opposite palm] The other half is that I'm gonna kick Satan's ass.

[More chirping because Ikki's chuckling. That is something he definitively understands though.]

So kicking Satan's ass and demonstrate what a great man that Father Fujimoto was... Sounds like a good goal, and a good plan. If you achieve the first one the second one will probably happen as a result of it.

Yeah! Well, that's the plan and as soon as I'm out of here, I'm gonna get right back at it with my classmates!

["As soon as I'm out of here". He hasn't heard or thought about that much the last year, mostly because doing so around Kotomi could lead to a disaster, not because his feelings about Luceti had changed. Luceti may have given him a few good things, things he really appreciates, but Ikki's not a fool, and he knows most of all that he doesn't deserve any of those things. So it's logical that he will lose them eventually.

He would prefer if the part where he loses them was because he was sent back and not because they were.]

How many people are in your class?

Well there's me, Bon, Koneko, Shima, Shiemi, Izumo, and that puppet guy. Plus me, so seven.

[He even counted it off on his fingers]

Are classes normally so small there?

[He expected at least ten people.]

It's a cram school for exorcists - it's not like it's overflowin' with people. Plus we originally had two more, but Paku dropped out and then Yamato turned out to be Shura.

I see, I thought exorcists were something common in your world so I assumed there would be more people. But it sounds much like the Sanctuary for Athena's Saints.

Well there is a lot, worldwide. I mean we've got a bunch of teachers and people on staff. But it's not like there's as many as these are police or anything, you know?

And I suppose that being an exorcist isn't one of the most common dream jobs of children, nor it is easy to get started on it, right?
