"Well, I have plenty of reasons, but two stick out in particular." Takumi pointed out, "For one, I was at one time a lowly orphan and thief, stealing to get by and all that. Becoming a hero seemed like a good chance to pay back for all I've taken. Which then leads to reason number two, my former accomplice. I figured I could use my training here to help keep him in check. Someone has to." He closed his eye swith a carefree smirk. "Y'know, you can tell a lot about someone from their reasons of becoming a hero. For example, you seem to be the type who's kind to pretty much anyone they meet, at least at first. It's a good trait to have, but use it with a small degree of caution. Not everyone is willing to be friends right away." As he said this, he nodded his head toward Mark. "Just look at mister tall, dark and boastful over there. He just probably sees you and I as his lessers."
