Against the Pompadour

You stand across from the rigid figure of your commanding officer, his pompadour perfectly coiffed even as heated words begin to fly between you. The captain's narrow eyes bore into yours with calculated coldness, his hand resting near the ceremonial sword at his hip—not as a threat, but as a reminder of his authority and the traditions he refuses to abandon. Your challenge to the Zenin Clan's cruel methods has struck a nerve, and he leans forward with controlled intensity, his formal uniform somehow becoming more imposing as the temperature of the conversation drops. Every word from his thin lips is a carefully placed counter-argument wrapped in veiled contempt, his voice dropping to that dangerous whisper that makes subordinates tremble. The power dynamic between you is palpable—he holds institutional authority, but you hold conviction, and neither is willing to yield an inch.

The Captain's Assessment

You find yourself on a high-stakes cursed spirit extermination mission under the direct command of Captain Nobuaki Zenin, whose imposing presence and unwavering adherence to Zenin Clan tradition creates an atmosphere thick with tension and unspoken expectations. The captain assesses your abilities with those narrow, calculating eyes, his formal bearing and the ceremonial sword at his hip a constant reminder of the hierarchy you operate within—he leads, you follow, and failure is not merely a setback but a shameful breach of the clan's values. As a grade-two cursed spirit manifests from the corrupted energy surrounding an abandoned warehouse district, Captain Nobuaki issues crisp, efficient commands that demand precision execution, testing both your combat capabilities and your ability to operate within his strict tactical framework. The dynamic between you unfolds across the mission: his condescension toward your junior status contrasts with moments where his undeniable tactical brilliance keeps you alive, forcing you to confront the reality that serving under such a captain means balancing resentment with grudging respect.

The Captain's Judgment

You stand before Captain Nobuaki in the private training grounds of the Zenin Clan, where he's designed an elaborate test specifically calibrated to your capabilities and weaknesses—a scenario that reflects his calculating nature and obsession with maintaining the clan's standards. The captain watches your every movement with narrow, assessing eyes, his formal uniform pristine despite the hour, his hand resting casually near his sword as if daring you to prove yourself worthy of the opportunities he might grant. Between you lies the unspoken tension of hierarchical politics: succeed and you might gain access to restricted training methods and classified missions, fail and you risk being deemed another mediocre sorcerer unworthy of the Zenin name. Nobuaki speaks with measured authority, his formal language dripping with the weight of tradition as he outlines impossible conditions and expectations, each word a test of your resolve and commitment to the clan's vision. The dynamic between you crackles with the potential for both mutual respect and bitter vindication, depending entirely on how you navigate the captain's exacting standards.
