This isn't exactly right. The ranks of Grand Master and Legendary Master aren't achieved with MA 6 and 7. Raising an Ability above 5 isn't possible for humans, both in DxD and Creation.

Instead, to be ranked as Grand Master and/or Legendary Master one needs MA 5, and high ranks in other Abilities essential for Martial Arts, like the ones I listed in the post above. Plus absolute mastery of one or more mundane Martial Arts.

Legendary Master also need Legendary [Attribute] in at least two Attributes.

In short, it's many things mashed together.

Issei possesses the raw potential for Master Class, but like an incomplete puzzle he lacks development in certain area that other martial artists train together.

At least we favor most of them.

nightblade, you really should watch were you throw those stones in that nice glass house of yours, I never said the things on the list were not what was needed for mastery, just that its not the only thing we should train, and then talked about something different, also as an aside, I was never making claims to know anything, see the word probably sprinkled in there, it implies a less then 100% certainty to the statement /sigh typical, the one time I forget to throw on my ymmv rider thanks to being tired and someone bites my face off, yesh

You repeatedly Stated that martial arts six was grandmaster class and that the Masters were on that level. And when I pointed out what alex had pretty much implied you pretty much said that's nice but this is how it works. Then alex came back in a pretty much said I was correct.

I am to tired to play "Someone it wrong on the internet" with you right now nightblade

Least Devotee · May 25, 2014

So since I finally remembered. Quick question Alex, is Suika's visit our Ward monthly roll kicking in for this month? Or is that not happened yet.

[X] Are you girls ready for round 2?
--[X] Introduce ourselves to Ragnarok as a concerned citizen cleaning trash off the streets.
---[X] "This is our city. Pretentious kids pretending to be badasses aren't welcome here."
----

You grin at the sisters. "Are you girls ready for round two? Ragnarok is coming."

"Oh, oh!" Ruby jumps. "Are we gonna fight more baddies?"

At the question you tilt your head. "I am not sure yet. I mean, I didn't hear anything bad about them, apart from fighting other gangs. And that is somehow a good deed." You shrug. "I guess I will talk to them a little to see what kind of people they are."

You turn to Snake. "I forgot to tell you your gang is now disbanded. Do you mind feigning unconsciousness while I deal with Ragnarok?"

"I will take a nap." is Kitsugawa's answer before he closes his eyes. That was fast.

"Good." You check your clothes, to be sure they are spotless. "Time to do what I do best."

[Fucking?] Ddraig asks.

You glare at him.

[I was joking.] The dragon snorts in amusement. [What do you do best?]

'Simple.' You grin. 'Being awesome.'

----

When the troops from Ragnarok arrive you have no doubts they are met with a strange sight.

The floor is covered with unconscious people dressed in the customary white and green clothes that identified them as members of Snake. By their injuries it's clear they were at the receiving end of a beating. The former Snake leader is resting on the ground, looking just as unconscious as his underlings.

You're sitting at the top of a pile of material construction with your left foot resting on your right, your left hand supporting your chin as the right one rests in your lap. Yang is sitting at your left, leaning sideways with both hands behind her head, while Ruby is sitting at your right, her staff's bag resting on her lap.

As the newcomers come into view you take a moment to observe them in detail.

The first to stand out is a tall muscular young man with light blue hair. He is wearing a dark long trench coat with dark gloves and a skin tight fighting outfit. Most of his face is covered by weird bug-like goggles. Behind him is a girl with equally weird goggles and a backpack.

The second is-damn, those are some fair breasts. Great curves and proportions, dark skin and a skin tight suit: the beauty in front of you isn't a girl, but a damn fine woman. She too is accompanied by a few other girls, all of them armed with various weapons.

The third of them is, like you, wearing a pure white suit, with white shoes, black gloves and a light yellow cravat. Frameless glasses cover a pair of piercing, highly focused eyes. He is alone, but by the way he talks it's clear he doesn't need an escort.

They stop and blink in confusion as they take in the scenario. The guy in a suit raises his head and locks eyes with you.

They say the eyes are the window of the soul. They also say a single glance can tell more than a thousand words.

In that single moment when you exchange glances, you and him understand a single thing about the other.

Dangerous

Raising a hand, clearly a signal for his friends to wait, the guy in a suit steps forwards and speaks. "We came here to propose a deal towards the gang called Snake."

"I am afraid the gang called Snake was disbanded, effective immediately." You tell him.

"I see." He replies calmly while pushing his glasses up. "And who are you?"

"Oh, I am but a concerned citizen cleaning trash off the streets." You make a sweeping gesture to encompass the whole place. "The Snake gang was guilty of harassing the populace, bothering honest citizens that had nothing to do with them just for fun. This is our city. Pretentious kids pretending to be badasses aren't welcome here."

Your cocky grin as you look at them during your speech makes it clear you aren't thinking that way just of snake.

"You little-!" The man with blue hair grits his teeth. But before he can act-

"You're perfectly right." White suit says with a straight face while nodding in agreement.

You aren't the only one looking at him oddly. Undaunted he continues: "Only those willing to stand up and fight for what they believe should be involved. This is one of the core precepts I was taught." He pushes his glasses up again. "Gangs should deal with gangs. Fighters should fight only other fighters."

'So, something like: if you pick up a sword, your should be aware of the consequences?'

[I think so too.]

"An interesting point of view." You tilt your head. "Are you saying Ragnarok is different?"

"We are." He spreads his arms. "Ragnarok bears his might only against other gangs, defeating them and absorbing their members in their ranks. Those that refuse are beat up and told to never take up a life of delinquency again. I think you can imagine the consequences for disobeying."

Harsh. Then again, considering the type of people that usually makes up a gang it is a highly effective method to keep them on the right way.

"It is one of our cardinal rules that members need to keep Ragnarok's activities separated by their public lives. The only exceptions is scouting for talented people and inviting them in our ranks."

"Uhm..." Your tap your index finger on your chin. "I am going to take a shoot in the dark and say you're Odin, Ragnarok's main leader." A subtle shifting of the others' postures tell you're right. "Why?"

Odin stands straighter. "I am afraid you will have to elaborate further."

"For what reason does Ragnarok exist?" You spread your arms. "Most gangs are formed by people belonging to the same social class, without a true aim but taking refuge in the group's strength. But if what you are saying is true, and I am going to assume it is, Ragnarok is too organized, too focused in their activities. Such cohesion...cannot be reached without a clear objective. So what's yours?"

"It's simple." The woman finally speaks. "We of Ragnarok are not thugs, but Martial Artists."

"Oh?" You quirk an eyebrow.

"Gang wars are just a mean to the end." Odin elaborates. "The true objective of us, Ragnarok's Leaders, is to train our individual Martial Arts through real combat, without being restricted by official rules that would cripple our development." His eyes narrow. "We aren't the only ones. Albeit rare for now, there are other groups of young martial artists in Japan with our same goals, that search for the purity of combat that is lost nowadays."

'Is he telling the truth?'

{He is completely certain of what he said. It doesn't mean it is the truth.}

'I see.' Who would have thought? You expected simple delinquents, and instead more and more strange revelations are popping up one after the other.

[It's a Dragon Aura.]

'Pardon?'

[Dragons are auspicious beings. Just by existing, they attract to themselves all sorts of strong powers. Solar Exalts are more or less the same, so in your cause it's double the effect.]

Oh, that is just wonderful.

"That's why, I would like you to join our organization." Odin says with solemnity. His friends react with confusion, but stay silent when they say his utterly serious face.

You quirk an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "...From which reasons originate this invitation?"

"Did you defeat the whole Snake gang before we came here?"

"Me and my comrades." You raise your hands and do a simultaneous high-five with both sisters.

"Then they are invited too. You are obviously strong: we could use people like you in Ragnarok."

"I usually fight gangs, not join them." Yang whispers to your ear. "But if what Glasses said is true, think of all the strong people we can fight!"

Ever the challenge-seeker. That's Yang for you.

"They don't look like bad people." Ruby admits, a bit unsure. "Maybe we can give them a chance?"

Ruby, still an ally of justice.

And now it's your turn. The girls trust you, so you should reach a decision quickly.

[] Write-in.

The first Ward roll has yet to happen (it's close however). Suika's visits was planned for a while now.

Okay, quick question:

How do I use IRC?!?!?

[X] Decline.
-[X] "There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I came here to clean up the streets of my home, not to join any faction for any reason. Now, I would be willing to extend my hand for you to join us instead; the world is a large place, and we always appreciate new experiences."
--[X] If you didn't join Devils or Fallen Angels, there's no way you're going to join some Martial Artists.

[X] Decline

Join to us? Considering the supernatural angle, it's a bit too much to make such an invitation.

Scouting for talented people and inviting them in our ranks.
No biggie, Issei, just ignore the possible implications.

You know you could just have him pick up on that with a stunt. And find out what they do to people who don't want to join.

Deny. We have too much going on already anyway. We have other, more important stuff we need to take care of IC.

[X] "I'll make you a deal. We'll fight. If you can defeat me in single combat, we'll join your group. If I win... well, you obviously don't have anything to offer me. Sound fair?"

We get XP for fights, right?

The way I see this, if they take us up on this it can go a couple of ways, one of one fights, with us each going against one member, use facing whoever wants to fight us, or us against Odin, or some other combination, probably not explaining it well ^^; Alexander posted the story post right as I was about to crash.

Ung. This looks so much neater than mine. I'll vote for this.

megrisvernin · May 25, 2014

I don't like concealing things from people I consider friends or acquaintances. The rest of the Idiot Trio & Aika aren't informed because they aren't immediately threatened by the supernatural world & neither show apparent interest in the supernatural, or finding out too much more about us. That & telling them would only make them a target while they can't do anything about it. Not without potentially giving up their humanity as Devil's or some long involved artifacing on our end.

But these gangsters? They want to master their bodies & hone their skills, and of course find people to fight. If we involved ourselves with them we would almost necessarily need to reveal the nature of the supernatural. They'll stumble on it eventually & we would have to hold ourselves back, in ways they would notice pretty quickly.

I have a modification in mind.

megrisvernin · May 26, 2014

If we have a good time, maybe we could arrange another some time in the future...

Least Devotee · Nov 30, 2014

[X] Decline
-[X] "I'm sorry but I must decline. I've received such requests from those far greater and with far better offers than yourself and refused. It would be rather rude of me to do an about-face at this time."

megrisvernin · May 26, 2014

I don't think we should join but there's no reason not to milk these guys for practical combat experience. Why not just have informal bouts? Since they're fighting without rules, they'll probably we willing to inflict more damage & injury then sparring might giving us, but probably stop short of permanent disabilities. Basically the best thing short of live combat. Besides it would be nice for yang & Ruby to have people they can spar against besides us. Just avoid any formal obligations & just have matches every once & a while.

Starting with one now for us to scope out whether they can actually give Ruby & Yang a good workout. If they're too vicious, weak, or they would instill bad tendencies in either of them we can just say we're not interested in future matches.

EternitynChaos · May 26, 2014

I think that would be something we could work out afterwards with my write in if we wanted to as well, it did after all only say it would be a pity if they didn't get something out of all this.

Smuthunter · Nov 30, 2014

[X] Decline
-[X] "I'm sorry but I must decline. My ambitions place demands on me that prevent an exclusive focus on the martial arts, and I've never been fond of taking orders anyways."

Because there really isn't any reason to offer them a fight if we think there's a chance they'll try to force one on us.

rkbinder · May 26, 2014

Didn't we agree not to join anyone else without Gregory approval first? (I know it doesn't really count here, but it is a valid reason).

EternitynChaos · May 26, 2014

Gremory, Grigori are the Fallen Angels, and the last thing we need to do is start throwing around Rias' family name at this point, really when we have done so up until now its been dealing with supernaturals, this isn't, not really.

Also as an aside, I don't really think there offer is one we get to so no to without winning our way free as it were, they were not in the habit of letting people go, or giving them the option of not joining, Odin however does like to be polite, I could be wrong however

Our sparring partner is freaking Beowulf. Mortals cannot compare regardless of whether they have Terrestrial Martial Arts or not. If Ruby and Yang need a better challenge, we are already surrounded by people who can provide one. Kiba and Koneko for instance.

Hmm. Will you agree to the idea of arranging a future spar if we get an acceptable response?

I don't want to join but I'm not against the idea of arranging matches with them.

Is that the case with these guys? I haven't seen the show so I wasn't aware the powergap was that far. Would they not even give interesting spars for Yang & Ruby?
