Mhm. I think I told you this before, but training someone to play the game better is easier than instilling in them a sense of 'hunger'. Re Al is a fantastic club for vicious and destructive players, but what does that matter if your players revel in the hunt more than the spoils?

They aren't hungry - they just want to lord their supremacy. It can backfire on them easily, and has.

[ luna is a shining example of re al's philosophy, in the same way noa was for bastard. the scion of madrid takes a sadistic pleasure in destroying others no matter the skill level of their opponent. however, that can lead to the sort of arrogant pride that makes them draw what should be an easy game or just barely inch out a win. it's why he would never take an offer from them. barcha is easy going in comparison, but they have a scrappy ambition in them. ]

I agree that people are hard to change. Luckily, you don't need to. You just have to draw out what's already inside them. [ i.e. what he did with kaiser, and even isagi in an accidental fashion. ] Once you understand who someone is, you can understand how to push them in the direction you want. To some degree or another, everyone really just wants to be told what to do to succeed.
