Good. Now forget everything.

[swordless]

I couldn't do that even if I wanted to. [How do you forget twenty years of training? It's too hard for him to even imagine.]

The fighting style I use is called Kyotouryuu. It's the only thing I inherited from my father. He's dead now and I want to cherish what he left behind. [Let's not forget about how Shichika was the one who killed his father. Yasuri's are kinda nuts, but it's normal for them to kill each other.]

Maybe I should review each individual attack and look for their weaknesses. It might help...I guess. I'm no good at thinking. You're so much better at it and I'm lucky you're taking time to help me train.

[computations]

I certainly hope you are not going to look for weaknesses and then try to 'fix' it. Because that would be a bad idea.

[swordless]

What? [You lost him.]

How would it be a bad idea? I'm not really following this at all. Wouldn't you get stronger by fixing your weaknesses?

[computations]

Fixing weaknesses is a bad idea because it leads you to becoming average and, as such, useless. Instead, you should focus on your strengths to the point that your weaknesses are absolutely moot.

[swordless]

Being average is no good. If I'm just average then I can't expect to protect Togame with my strength.

[That would be going against her orders.]

People can become stronger when they have something to protect. I'm going to strive to be better than average for Togame's sake.

That's another excellent idea. Sion! With more power I can knock my enemies out easily! Then they'll never know what kind of weakness I have.

[computations]

Now you are learning. The need to worry about weaknesses will fall if you can simply just end a fight before it comes into play.

[swordless]

I get that.

The only real problem is that every battle is different. Unless you've fought the opponent before you have no real way of knowing what to expect. I want to be prepared for most cases. Ending things as quickly as possible sounds like a really good solution to this problem.

That means I can say my catch phrase earlier and not have to worry about timing it correctly.

[computations]

Catch....phrase?

[Oh no, this sounds like a waste of time. Please delete.]

[swordless]

[That's because it kind of is a waste of time.]

Yeah, a catch phrase! Togame has to write about my battles and she said it was important that I had one.

Sion, do you have any catch phrases?

[computations]

You would have to explain what a catch phrase is.

[swordless]

Togame said catch phrases are used to catch the attention of readers in writing.

It's not really a catch phrase unless you time it correctly.

[computations]

Absolutely pointless! We are going to skip that!

[swordless]

[Shichika doesn't really feel like arguing with Sion, even though he disagrees so he'll just nod.]

We're going to skip it then.

You're the instructor.

[computations]

Good because I refuse to hear anything about ridiculous move names and the such.
