All right so there are 2 techniques that you may take to level up as an Akodo Commander. 2 techniques in the school curriculum a newbie Akodo Commander may take to please his teachers and continue own his path to greatness:
- Iron Forest Style
Which he cannot take because it's a rank 2 technique. Meaning only a multi-school character would benefit from this entry. Is this on purpose? Seems weird.
- Warrior's Resolve
Which makes no sense for a Lion samurai to learn, since it goes against everything the Lion is about. It is a technique that punishes a warrior-type character for having honor. Allow me to explain - It reads:
"Description: The bushi draws a deep breath, exhaling as they rise to their
feet. Pain can be conquered so long as there is a duty to be done, they
remind themself , for honor is stronger than steel."
The flavor, the concept described here is very Lion-like. This is not the issue.
"Prerequisites: School rank 1 XP Cost: 3"
Neither this - This is fine.
"Activation: Once per scene, as a Support action, you may spend 1 Void
point to recover from incapacitation."
"Effects: Heal wounds until your total wounds are equal to your resilience
minus your honor rank."

Which means this is a powerful technique for a character who has very low honor, for it will heal wounds for its resilience minus its honor rank.
Now I don't think the mechanic of this particular technique is wrong, or broken. I rather like how it plays out. However, it is not in line with the Akodo Commander. And it's description is misleading for Honor takes away from his healing power.

1. Schools get early access to techniques that are on their current progression rank table. So Akodo can buy Iron Forest at Rank 1.

2. Warrior's Resolve scales with Honor. The more Honorable you are, the more it heals. Your Resilence is the upper limit of your Fatigue - let's say it's 10. You remove Fatigue from yourself until you reach 10 - Honor Rank. So a Honor Rank 1 character can use this Technique to reduce Fatigue until there is only 9 Fatigue left, and Honor 10 character can remove Fatigue until there is only 0 Fatigue left, as 10-10 = 0.

Exactly. Every school has one or more techniques that it gets 'early' compared to other bushi. Unless a technique says "XYZ Clan" in its prerequisites (like Lord Hida's Grip is Crab Clan Only), any rank 2 bushi (or whatever) can learn it.

If it's on your school's training list, however, you can get it at rank 1 - or even at character creation. That's a big part of what makes a rank 1 bushi from a given school 'better' than one from a rival school.

Warriors resolve - yeah, as @WHW says, its' healing you to that much damage remaining . So making that value lower with a high honour is good. It's perhaps not an especially clearly written description.
