Skit: A Test

"Ah, what a journey you have been on," said Oro as he and Ryu were eating the fish from earlier. "And all of it has led you here. Do you believe that mastering the Satsui no Hado, the murderous intent, is the only way to achieve true victory?"
"Is there any other way?" asked Ryu.
"I've crossed paths with Akuma years ago when he was quite the ambitious and unbalanced young man. I suppose he hasn't changed much. I can understand the difficulty in trying to best him without using the same dark power he wields, especially since you felt that strength before."
"So you agree that the dark hado is my only hope?"
"Using the Satsui no Hado is not an accurate description. It is not a tool that can be taken out of a drawer and then be put back. Without adequate training, self-destruction is inevitable."
"That's exactly why I need you. Would you take me in as your student?"
"A student? Hmm... I have been disappointed many times."
'Please, I'll do anything for your acceptance, any challenge, any test..."
"A test, you say? Sounds like it could be fun."
"Thank you, Master Oro. When do we begin?"
"Sit, eat, and rest. I' will have a suitable test for you tomorrow. Prove your worth and you will become my pupil."
