Magus Empress [Kikoto, Hannah]

Energy. The Spiritual power that lied within everyone, and put to use in different ways by different races. It was Hannah's new desire to reach the crux of this, and learn how to command the very Core of Energy itself. Not just Kido, or Cero, or Quincy Weapon Thing, but spiritual energy in it's most raw and unrestricted manner. To this end, Hannah was currently hovering a Shakkaho in her palm, and getting to grips with every little piece of it that made up the ball. She needed to find someone to go all out with, so she could get some real world high power training, but for now it was early days.

Though, she was eventually interrupted by a Shinigami who came by. Letting the ball dissipate, she would nod to the young man.

"That I am, yes. What can I help you with, dear?"

"That's a terrible motivation" Hannah would reply, looking up to the kid. There was not a lot of power in his soul, and he didn't seem very old either, so not a lot of time spent learning. Must be new and fascinated by the idea, more than anything.

"It is nice to be motivated and know what you want out of life, but learning Kido simply to use Shunko is a poor way to go about it. You should learn Kido for a more far-reaching goal, and have Shunko on your way there. Otherwise, motivation may burn out if you are too focused on what you are going for, rather than what you have right now. And this will leave you stranded half way towards where you wish to be, and where you are"

"Ohh, don't get me wrong. Kido is really cool. Espeically when you get good at it and can start folding spells into other spells" Hannah would state in a more animate voice, holding out her hand, with palm to the celling.

"Tenren" she would exclaim, spawning a mini tornado in her hand, that would then spark and turn into a blue blazing inferno as the Soketsui lit it up. And then it would dissipate into nothing again, and Hannah's blind eyes would turn to her new student's general location.

"But. Trying to learn something as complicated as Shunko simply because it is cool, is going to be a long path for you indeed. You need to know there is something you want to do with it once you have learned. Or else when you are teasing burn-out, there is nothing to motivate you past that"

"I know you don't have something like that, I wasn't expecting you to develop it in the minute I gave you. What I was emphasising is that you need to think on that, before you run headlong into this long and arduous journey" Hannah would lean gently against her stand, and shift towards him a little.

"Because you can't sit in your room all day practicing this sort of thing; you have your Shinigami duties to attend to as well. And shopping for food, and maintaining clothes or purchasing new ones. Making friends with your squad-mates so then when you are out on patrol with them you can work together and not get in each other's way.

So at the end of all this, you are tired and hungry and sore. Yerina stole your yogurt so you didn't even get that, and you need to go shopping for more food soon but the near-by store closed down so you gotta go to the one way out of your way and they might not even have what you like. And then you look to the schedule, see 'Shunko training' and have no drive but "it is cool".

So you put it off. And maybe grab every other week to practice a little if your timesheet works out. That is why I say you need to find more motivation"

"Ohh, there are very few who don't know. But there is a gulf between knowing and understanding. Everyone bravados it till it happens"

Hannah gave a gentle laugh at that, her eyes dipped as if remembering how things went for her.

"If you want Kido lessons, I can give you Kido lessons. That's not a problem. It's just pursuing something as difficult and complex as Shunko would need some kind of internal drive more than just because it's cool"
