Is It Just Me, or Does That Guy Looks Like He wants to kill Us

[Kaito Haruki]

"I think I need to clarify; I know how to duel. I know a lot of skills, but I wasn't trained to be able to cite scrolls from memory for hours. Now there are some skills that I haven't learned that I was supposed to, for example how to wield a spear properly. However, it will all be worth it if the Empire sees the members of our branch as more than just scholars and advisors."

"Oh, I see. Sorry, I do not know much about the Phoenix clan but I believe that you can change the way people think with enough dedication and a bit of luck. If there's something I can do to help you with that, just let me know, alright?"

"You had a rather strange upbringing, which does not mean that you are an experiment, you will be a samurai. A samurai can achieve anything, don't forget that," Kenji said seriously. "But if you need help, I am available too"

"Thank you both, I did not mean to imply that I think lowly of myself because I am the subject of their test to see if they need to adjust the way they teach. However, since we are still kids and not even those senpai who were training to become nukutai would know what it means to be senseis, I used the best words to my ability. The only thing I could ask of you ,so far, is that you do not hold back whatsoever when we face each other in the Topaz Championship. Only a truly fair contest could be used to see if I'm worthy of a higher position when I'm a true samurai. "
