Hello there I wish to petition the powers that be for Hikami to be granted Expert Leadership. In the threads that will be listed below Hikami has been communing and leading the elements and people{but mostly the elements} to his will since he first gained the rune, hearing their voices and knowing their moods.

Hi there!
In consideration of your request I've taken a look at the examples provided. What I'm seeing is kind of a mixed bag.
In examples 1 and 2, I'm not really seeing the skill of "Leadership" being exemplified. I'm seeing a capable, courageous soldier who is adept on the battlefield, but who never really assumed a position of command amidst the cohort of fighters involved in the threads. I would categorize this as falling more under "Tactics" than "Leadership", and it seems you did, too, based on the Lores you requested at the time.
I know that you note that you’d like his exploitation of Elementalism to be considered as a form of leadership, but I think that's quite a stretch. An elementalist is not really leading the elements like subordinates, so much as exploiting them as a tool.
In example 3 I'm seeing a few glimmers of leadership, as he is beginning to assert himself with other combatants and take more of an assertive role in group strategy.
Examples 4 and 5 aren't really scenarios that lend themselves to the use of the requested skill. I'd say these scenes would fall more under concepts like Interrogation, Rhetoric or Investigation as well as the lores you actually requested, like Psychology and Meditation.
All things being considered, I am going to deny your request to upgrade the "Leadership" skill to the level of Expert at this time. I know that the Leadership skill is important in Hikami's path to power, and I'm sure you're eager for that evolution to progress, but I think that eagerness may be clouding your vision of what actually falls under the skill you're requesting here. Feel free to apply again [please link this thread to your next attempt] when you've collected some more sound examples of the "Leadership" skill and feel free to reach out to me or other members of staff if you feel you need guidance!
