"Planning, mostly, though I'd like to end with some exercises or spars among the team before we break for the day. But I want to develop at least preliminary lesson outlines, as well as go over what balance of missions versus pure training we want. There's also some information I need for figuring out what improvements we can make to help you guys get better at all this - mostly what your usual routines are. I'll want you to describe them now, but I'm also planning to have you guys log some personal routines over the next week. Stuff like diet, exercise, and study habits."

Nod.

"I will also be reporting at least a description of the logs to the team in charge of oversight for the pre-genin training systems; the Academy curriculum at least appears to produce 'can recite facts' decently well, but we need to track if you guys are actually putting nutrition education and the like into practice, and to track what kinds of supplemental education new genin from a variety of backgrounds need."

"I want you to be honest on these. You won't be judged or graded on having ideal habits. This is meant purely so we know what to focus on improving."

"I'd prefer if they weren't shared."

She nods. "'Is as expected' or 'is not as expected' the minimum I'm supposed to report; I can limit to that, or just wiggle out of reporting entirely - I would rather not encourage patterns of letting people pull rank to get out of regulations, though, but this is a fairly minor point."

"Okay."

Permalink

Small smile. "Thank you." Then, to Amajina and Sayuri - "Are you two okay with that level of report?"

Permalink

Shrug. "I don't care."

Permalink

"Yeah. Same amount of detail for all of us is good, too."

Permalink

"Of course."

"Of what I've listed for today's stuff, is there anything you all think we should do first?"

Permalink

"Lesson outlines?"

There's no disagreement on that, so, lesson outlines!

Shinrei does want to prioritize a mix of lessons, not just hyper focus on their main goals. Combat, teamwork; general fitness, medical knowledge; history, politics, sociology; laws, norms, foreign nations. 

And, of course, regular missions - Kiri nowadays mostly has Academy students in their last year handle what most other villages would consider central "D Ranks," to learn basic human interaction, how to follow orders, how to give a mission report. Amajina is going to need to pay catch up on that last, of course - but their team is going to be focused more on advanced D Ranks, low C Ranks. Running messages in friendly territory, helping maintain the village's infrastructure, some basic administration and guard work with civilians... Shinrei wants to focus on incorporating their usual lessons into the missions, as practical applications.

That all sounds good to Elaise.

Pretty busy! Amajina wants to make sure they have time to have fun. But, yeah, overall sounds really good!

Permalink

"Fun is doable! Spare time and relaxation's important."

Permalink

"Of course."

Permalink

"We'll adjust the exact balances as we go along, too. This isn't set in stone the moment we think of it."

Permalink

Nod.

Any opinions about misson balance?

Elaise would prefer active missions over paperwork.

Permalink

Super same.

Sayuri likes the idea of any missions that'll involve getting information - like, she's heard some of the researchers request D Ranks for sorting through records for them, that sounds really great especially if it gets them some security clearance exceptions - or will involve making connections with people. 

Permalink

She laughs. "Alright, can do. And if we get stuck with paperwork, I'll try to find something more useful."

"I can also get you guys access to specific scrolls that're in sections above your default clearance, or at least a summary of some of the information in them. You'll have to give me a topic, rather than browsing - especially for anything default jounin level, and double especially for anything above that - but I know our archives pretty well. It should also be easier for me to get you access to any records Amajina brought in, even if they end up pretty classified."

Permalink

That sounds... potentially very useful.

"Shinrei-sensei has all the clearances," Sayuri says with a grin. "She wouldn't pull anything specific for me when I wasn't a genin yet, but there's so much. Bet it's super useful."
