Backdated to May 31st. Open to EVERYONE.
[He'd attempted his own locking seal this time on the scroll, frowning to himself the entire time. He was completely sure it looked like the one he'd gotten last time, just modified slightly. Basically, he'd managed to make the thing useless. So any and everyone who wished to open the seal mark and read what was written, could.
Unfortunately for him.]
Ami,
I presume your lessons have not further hindered you since our talk?
Sephiroth

Ami,

Sephiroth

I haven't. I met you.
Sephiroth
no subject
Oh. You were able to read him off of me?
Ami
P.S. Sensei says your message ended up being public somehow.
no subject
Ami,
... I have been informed of that yes. And yes.
Sephiroth
no subject
How did you learn how to do that?
Ami
P.S. I've copied out a privacy seal they teach at the Academy; it's kind of rudimentary but I think maybe a few of your strokes smeared together because of the ink. Unless they're supposed to look like that.

Ami,
Observation and practice. I was a jounin at your age for years, after all, presuming I haven't misremembered how old they promote to genin in Konoha now.
Sephiroth
no subject
Twelve is the standard, now, but a a little under a decade ago it was a little more common for earlier promotion. I'll be thirteen in the fall.
Ami
no subject
Definitely a jounin then. I was promoted to it at ten. But then, Konoha is one of the softest countries in terms of their youth.
Sephiroth
no subject
I have heard that. Especially in regards to our promotions tests for genin. Are the rumors about Mist true or inflated?
Ami.
no subject
That depends very much on the rumor.
Sephiroth
no subject
There's one that says genin get their rank by wiping out either one classmate or all their other classmates. The latter seems inefficient, in terms of manpower maintenance.
Ami
no subject
The latter happening ended the former tradition.
Sephiroth
no subject
I see. Did it end before or after your graduation?
Ami
[Oh my God, Ami, you can't just ask somebody if they got the chance to slaughter their classmates.]
no subject
After.
Sephiroth
no subject
I can see your point of view, then. Moderated paper and practical tests are far softer.
Ami
no subject
Even your missions are softer.
Sephiroth
no subject
You're fishing for particulars. If you want to know something, just ask.
Ami
no subject
Less that than a curiosity of just how sheltered they've kept you.
Sephiroth
no subject
Markedly less than they might have hoped to originally, since I've started taking missions outside the village.
Ami
no subject
Unsurprising, the world doesn't coddle as Konoha does.
Sephiroth
no subject
I look forward to seeing more. I'm not overly proud of my debut.
Ami
no subject
You regret the outcome?
Sephiroth
no subject
The outcome was fine, thanks to my instructor. My own performance is what I am dissatisfied with.
Ami
no subject
The question is if you feel you played to your strengths.
Sephiroth
no subject
I did everything that I could in my position.
It just wasn't enough.
Ami
no subject
Unfortunately, something like that is bound to happen even to the greatest shinobi. Irritating, isn't it?
