Location: *taps you gently on the shoulder*
Kin watched Aki closely as she spoke, paying little attention to Kuro standing up on the tips of his toes and looking around as if he was searching for any other students or perhaps trying to make himself taller and more intimidating, then Kin noticed the small tears fall from Aki's lowered face.

"You've got nothing to be ashamed of Aki," Kin said in a gentle tone. "Every fighter has been in the same situation you were today. The first step forward in fight, especially a first fight, is the hardest to take. The real test is to never to take a step backwards, never retreat, and keep pressing forward through thick and thin. That's the path you'll need to take and the weight you'll have to bear if you want to become stronger and become a more skilled fighter."

Kin paused a moment to let the words soak in and also to see if they had eased any of Aki's uneasiness. "Now then," Kin spoke in a more firm tone. "We came here to make a statement and Kuro and I, despite our desires, can't do it alone. Kuro, aside from any other feelings he may hold for you, asked you to accompany us for a reason. Despite his enthusiastic disposition, he actually has a keen eye, which means he chose you because he believes in your ability, as well as your potential. But you've got to have a little bit of faith in yourself in order to realize it."

"As for you," Kin said turning his attention to Kuro. "Challenges and kentou don't work in the way you think they do. You can't go around challenging anyone and everyone. Kentou is honorable and battles must be fought one on one. So let's try and think before we shout."

Kin said this last sentence with a smile. "And another thing, here in The Pit, people tend to be alot stronger than your average Hall Monitor. Our goal," Kin said pointing his boken towards the large door to their left and the two students who sat in front of it. "is to make through that door and into the Second Year level of The Pit. If we can do that, I'll elaborate a little bit more on the statement I want to make."

Taking a few lightly-limped steps towards the large door, Kin turned to look at Aki and Kuro. "Alright, I'm going to get this thing started."
