[ yes. absolutely. it has been hard to get xie lian away from the tournament area today, except for when he was cooing over baraqiel, so! he walks with his hands behind his back, and nods. ]
Yes! We were already doing a bit before, but she has asked me to ramp up her training. I thought I would start to do so, today - I am going to be teaching her some of the aspects physical and mental of my cultivation.
Mm. That is a part of it; the martial comes part and partial with swordsmanship. I think because our builds are quite similar [ ie, even though he is Stronk he is small ] the style I have learned will suit her quite well.
[ Joonghyuk blinks twice because like... You two have similar builds?
You know what. He has no questions. ]
The sword style I've mastered is one suited for women, but you can take her under your wing instead. I'll see about teaching her more hand-to-hand combat.
Ah, teamwork. That would be wonderful! She is already quite skilled in the basics - we have spent some time practicing and teaching each other since we first arrived here, so you will find her to be a most excellent student. That isn't so surprising, though - Susato is truly diligent in all things.
[ that's his BESTIE ] I am capable of both, but, swordsmanship will always be my first love, so - I would be happy to take on that duty.
Mm! [ so it is!!!! the idea is heartening. xie lian wants the absolute best for susato, and it's refreshing, the idea of taking on a pupil.] I still am looking very much forward to sparring with you, Mr. Joonghyuk. By sword or by hand. I don't see why we couldn't try and blend our techniques together to find whatever works best for her!
I have been watching the tournaments here, today, and... some of the fighters leave much to be desired, to be quite honest. It will be nice to experience true quality in a swordfight.

She's also interested in some sword arts.

I'm also more keen on swordsmanship, but I've mastered a handful of arts when I trained in the Murim.
[ Mm. ]
It's decided.

I think it may be the difference in intentions.
[ Joonghyuk isn't sure if Xie Lian's teaching style would include... Overwhelming your opponent to kill them. ]
For fighters from a high fantasy world, it is a disappointing. The tournaments in the Murim were intense.
