Report:
Cohort 452 Year 1, Term 1
Instructor in charge: Konji
Haito
Gnome. Male.
His small stature, typical of a spiritborn, makes him less than suited to combat training. However, his dexterity gives him an above-average aptitude for setting traps. In terms of essence, he is average for a spiritborn, slightly above average in the general cohort, with his results at an average level overall.
He is dependent on Juuko and shows signs of a weak mentality.
Ryokufuu
Wind fae. Female.
Average physical prowess for a spiritborn, below average overall. Furthermore, her control over her essence is below average for her race, the members of which normally excel in this area. Therefore, her combat training results are particularly disappointing. She has displayed a fragile mentality, making it unlikely that she will survive till the next term.
Sakaki
Elf. Male.
Despite being a spiritborn and having little physical aptitude, his results have been above average. In terms of essence, he has shown growth greater than that of the top individuals from other years. I advise keeping a close watch on this one.
This cohort has a higher average strength than in other years, so while this individual has the third-best results in combat training, it should be noted that this puts him in line with the strongest of those typical cohorts.
He displayed quick-wittedness and flexible thinking during the survival training, so I recommend that he is assigned to tasks that require situational awareness such as stealth and guard missions.
Shida
Snakeborn. Female.
A pure-blooded beastborn, she has achieved above-average results in physical training. However, her command of essence is failing to break above average, so her results in combat training are merely “good.”
The cohort has a high number of strong-willed individuals, with this one being a particularly prominent example who exudes great influence on those around her. Although I see no reason to remove her, there is a need to keep an eye on her.
Note: During survival training, she used poison received by Instructor Eiseki to attack another individual, whereupon she died in the counterattack. The victim suffered a single injury and later recovered.
Juuko
Tigerborn and beast mix. Male.
Though he is ostensibly more tigerborn than beast, his physical results place him above the average tigerborn, so it can be assumed that his muscle mass comes from his beast genetics.
His levels of essence are extraordinary for a beastborn, suggesting that this individual has received the best qualities from both of his parents. His physical abilities, most notably his agility, have earned him results above average compared to typical cohorts. No one has bested him in combat training so far apart from Rouryuu.
Though prone to arrogance, he communicates well and was seen to take a leadership role during the survival training. He is one to keep an eye on.
Kurohebi
Snakeborn and flower fae mix. Male.
His appearance favors the snakeborn side. As he initially had trouble with releasing essence, it seemed his spiritual skills also followed his snakeborn heritage. However, there was eventually evidence that he was using the empathy skill, a technique unique to flower fae. Once he mastered how to release essence, his control of it has produced outstanding results.
Something to note is this individual’s fighting style. He prefers to fight in a manner that makes up for his physical shortcomings, something that has afforded him consistently exceptional results in combat training.
His genetics lend themselves to stealth, so I would recommend he be assigned to missions that require it.
Hakuka
Flower fae. Female.
A pure-blooded flower fae. What she lacks in physical ability, she makes up for with an aptitude for essence. This makes her average in combat overall. She has a weak mentality and uses her empathy skill unconsciously, leading her to sycophantic behaviors.
I have observed that this individual’s weak mentality has influenced and spread to others, so I would like to consider her for removal.
Note: She attacked Kurohebi during survival training and died in the retaliation several days later.
Toukoku
Manborn. Female.
As a pure-blooded manborn, there is nothing noteworthy (positive or negative) about her skills compared to the rest of the cohort. In terms of physical ability, essence, combat technique, dexterity, and so forth, her results are either “good” or better. She is consistently one of the top individuals in combat training.
As a manborn, her results are most satisfactory. However, her cautious personality should be noted, and she was often seen lending assistance to other individuals during survival training.
Her careful approach would make her suitable to act as deputy on missions.
Touki
Demonborn. Male.
This individual’s race excels in physical capability even among other magicborn, and he is no exception. His essence results are also good, and he is consistently one of the top individuals in combat training.
However, he has shown a tendency for cowardice, and though he does not seem to possess the violent temper of many demonborns, it was clear at several points during survival training that he has a phobia of death.
I would suggest his training be revised.
Rouryuu
Born to a dragon and a wolfborn. Female.
Her results in physical capabilities, essence, combat abilities, and all other fields far surpass those of the best we see from typical cohorts. She dominates the likes of Juuko and Sakaki in combat training, even though they are superior to individuals of typical years.
Her essence levels in particular are far higher than the best we have seen from previous cohorts. While she displayed an incredibly violent temperament in the early stages and often attacked the other individuals, she has calmed down and no longer resists participation in training. However, it is imperative that any instructor involved with her must surpass her in physical strength.
Due to her personality, I can foresee serious shortcomings when it comes to stealth. I would therefore strongly recommend her for missions which require direct combat, such as escort tasks.
