❀ Sixteenth Illusion ❀ Kanda Yu : Video / Land of Dragons
[It was a rainy day in the Land of Dragons and Kanda was sitting underneath a small wooden roof watching a man finishing up the details on a pair of kendo sticks. He didn’t seem to mind the weather, the exorcist coat was meant to withstand all of mother nature's fury after all.]
Don’t forget to add an extra layer of stitching over the handle on that one. [There was a worker not too far from where he sat in wait. This seemed to be the forgers workshop of sorts. Kanda didn't even bother to look at the man as he addressed him, he had other matters to take care of.]
Elizabeth, you asked me to train you a few days ago. I'm going to keep my word. I have never trained anyone before but my master trained me well. I know my code but I have never seen the differences in training done between men and women. I know they exist but I'll be teaching you the same way I was taught, you will have to be the one to tell me your limits.
[The worker walked over to Kanda presenting him the first kendo stick. He took it in his arms, standing up, and sizing it up in silence before continuing.]
Whether you're a child or a woman, you can never assume your enemy will show you any mercy. More often than not, they don't care about discipline or follow any codes for war. They'll kill indiscriminately so you will be trained the same way. Gender doesn't make a warrior, their skill with a sword does. If you're willing to accept that then I will be your teacher.
[The worker returned with the second stick and Kanda took it, scrutinizing the hilt, it was a bit more bulkier than the previous one he was shown and he nodded his approval to the worker who quickly moved away.]
When are you free.
