[That answers that. They’ve got a lot of dead ends between them, don’t they. Not surprisingly, since Sousuke and Chikusa have had different experiences and lives on the Shores. He lets the answer slide and waits for explanation if he’s going to get it. Which, lucky for him, this time he does.]

Cho Hakkai. [Sousuke frowns slightly at the idea of a shinki becoming a god. He’s heard of both before, Hakkai and the whole “class change” thing. Obviously doesn’t know much more about either.] I was talking to someone who knows him.

[The abandoned temple sounds like a pretty appropriate place for a school to train shinki.] Did you learn from him or is that where you’re suggesting I continue my own training? [He’s still committed to getting those three spells from Chikusa.]
