Seeking Battle

[Vutall]

The students and the sensei all read in silence for some time.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"Akodo-sensei." He breaks the silence. "Here it says that when a lord called his samurai, he ran, fell at his feet and spoke his name loudly and proudly. What did Akodo-sama mean with it?"

[Vutall]

"Akodo-no-Kami was explaining Duty there. All samurai serve their lord proudly."

[Kaito Haruki]

"What is your opinion on the quote 'Know your enemy. Know yourself.'?"

[Vutall]

"Akodo-no-Kami was saying that before you ever set foot on the battle, one should know both your own abilities and that of your enemies."

[Kuni Yotsuo]

Yotuso didn't have any questions, relying on the words of Akodo and contemplating them as he takes more in. He seemed singularly focused on the task given by Eiko.

[Kaito Haruki]

"How does one understand chaos?"

[Vutall]

"That is a question that many take years to learn the answer to, Isawa-san. First you must learn many other things before you can properly understand a battle as it unfolds and the chaos it brings. By many studies of previous battles and their outcomes, you will gain some insight."

[Kaito Haruki]

"What makes sieges so troublesome that they are even worse than being stuck inside a stomach for so long?"

[Vutall]

"Soliders begin to grow restless, food supplies are limited, and the threat of an attack from the seiged enemies allies. "
