>>5898795>Regarding spear-techniques and animalsThis comes back to you chosing to go to an animal-focus Sect. The sect detected you were proficient with 4 animals that you've been handling daily (hawk, wolf, horse and hawk). So while you're at this sect, the option you'll be offered will revolve around those animals.
The sect techniques actually favor having several bonded animals, opening specific synergies. Let's say you somehow end up with a Golden Snake Arrow technique - your Hawk spirit will empower it thanks to its Golden attribute.
Joining the military youth would have granted choice based on weapons of predilection with elements, material or animals secondary options.
>Can we back out now?Not really, unless there's a landslide support for that write-in.
>Regarding main optionsYou lack one : sooner or later acquire a Horse spirit to fuse with the young horse you have been spending time with lots of time with.
Confusion might come from ESL from me: one of your "starting animals" is picrel
>Regarding spear and HalberdIn the crunch behind the scene, the confusion between spear and Halberd could have costed much. In the end, you were quite lucky on that aspect.
