Good good. We'll be RP'ing this like your previous training. We'll kick off with a review and then take the next step in the training as well once I show Gobi.

The rolling hills surrounding the foot of Mt. Katsuryoku made for a stunning sight to behold. Behind him stood the ancient mountain towering high above into the clouds. From his position seated on the grass Alexander couldn't see the top. Yet all the memories he shared here painted a clear image in his head. It was certainly a spectacular place for training. "When do you suppose he'll be here?" Gaidar eagerly asked Alexander as he floated around Alexander's left shoulder. "Not long now, I believe. Everything should have been arranged properly." He didn't mind waiting. He could wait forever in such a place. He closed his eyes and began to meditate extending his aura sensing out for miles taking in all of the life and Genki he could feel. Doing this in such a tranquil place brought a magnificent sense of serenity to him.

enjoyed the walk as he further approached his destination. His bedouin-like outfit was quite comfortable to wear for this journey. As for the instructed location, it was precise and easy to follow since he mainly had to approach Mt. Katsuryoku, which was the highest earthen thing he could possibly see. Once he finally arrived, Manasseth saw a young-adult seemingly in a state of meditation, so he approached him. The approaching apprentice should've known that his new teacher would've perceived Manasseth a long time ago, but Manasseth's training with Amaimon seem to have slipped his mind that very moment. Should he bow? Stand? Sit down? This confused the apprentice and would make him seem even more clumsy if he gave it too much thought...Alexander Severus? I'm Manasseth Windrunner and was instructed to meet you here by The Voice.
He slowly nodded once as a sign of respect.
"Yes! I felt your presence from a distance Manasseth and have been waiting for you since. It will be here we will continue your training in the shamanistic practices of the Katsuryoku." Alexander briefly paused and looked toward Gaidar. "As far as I know you have had your meditation which awakened your awareness of the Pure World and as such you can see my companion here..." He trailed off as he pointed toward Gaidar. "This is Gaidar. My kind hearted, gentle, and uhh...vulgar companion." Alexander strained momentarily as Gaidar turned toward him expressing his anger. "Idiot!" Despite the insult Alexander ignored it. "So...Manasseth. Let's review. Before we engage in the deeper rituals I want to to tell me everything you've learned thus far. A solid overview. Pay particular attention to the nature of Genki themselves."

Yes it is true, Manasseth had undergone that meditation training with Amaimon and he clearly saw the Genki next to Alexander. The Genki's response to Alexander's description of him amused Manasseth, but he held in his laughter as he remembered how Amaimon's Genki, similarly to Alexander's, easily got angered. And we don't be wantin' to anger da spirits, mon! With a joyous smile that would close his eyes, Manasseth waves "hello" to Gaidar then averted his attention from Gaidar to Alexander as the teacher spoke once more. And now, time to review.
So from what I've learned so far, I understand that the "root" of our abilities revolves around us being capable of communicating with spirits from the Pure world and have them aid us in the Impure world, our world, by befriending then. Genkis, in themselves, are made of some sort of energy that belongs to the spirit world and their personality seem to be somewhat... childish and not very civilized. (Gaidar, plz don't kill meh) Being able to communicate with spirits, in itself, allows us to perceive all kinds of spirits, which I've been told the clan calls aura sensing. As for how the Genki's aid us in battle, we can have them infuse themselves into certain objects, which would then give said object living properties, so to speak. As in, make a certain object reshape itself into the form of a certain being and move by its own will. Genki's can also partially possess us or fully fuse with us to enhance our own being or have our entire being and the Genki's completely fuse with one another. Basically making us become "one".
He paused for a bit...
I think that is all.

"That's a fairly solid grasp on the basics." Alexander nodded. Gesturing his thumb with a devious grin on his face he said, ""Don't mind Gaidar's childish behavior. Genki can come in all forms and their personalities can vary just as much. They are perhaps even more diverse than humans. Anyways, I'm glad you covered infusions. Now before we continue I'll need to contact Amaimon to initiate you into the Apprentice Rank. I shall return shortly." Alexander took his seat and entered his meditative stance and began to Greywalk seeking out the Voice.
Alexander's eyes flicked open yet again as his spirit returned to his body and his Greywalking ended. He stood up and remained silent. From his pouch he drew an orange shaded feather symbolizing Manasseth's care for his comrades and fellow House mates. He nodded in respect as he handed it to him signifying his advancement within House Katsuryoku. "You are now an Apprentice within our House and our training shall continue. But before we do, do you have any questions regarding our House?"

Sorry, I went inactive for a bit.
Manasseth contemplated his surrounding while he waited. Then finally as Alexander stood up, Mana faced him with curiosity. His tutor gave him a feather, which he took with both of his palms opened together as it felt, to Manasseth, very valuable. Alexander spoke to Mana. There were no questions that crossed his mind at the moment, but he was quite certain some would arise while undergoing the rest of his training.
I have no questions as of yet, sensei.
