"You won't believe it, but this knife has seen several eliminations..." - Lester gazes lovingly at the "pocket" weapon. "How much do you think a person needs to cross into the other world? Whether a king or a common worker... Just a strip of steel..."
- Time will take everyone on its own, without steel.
"Bad! You left your neck completely unprotected."
- Maybe I just want some vampire to take me into the night world...
"Not bad. I deliberately opened my flank to see if you'd use it, and you did - right between the plates. You've got a feel for it."
- Thank you for the compliment.
"Bad! You opened up again - come and take whatever you want."
- I'll try to do better.
"Bad! I didn't even put much effort into it. Couldn't you hit such a large target?"
- You are quite slender, sir, and hitting you may not be easy.
"The verdict..." - Vargas closed his eyes. "Form - it'll do, there's potential to make something of you. It's clear you've trained in it. Technique - that's what suffers. And you need to feel your opponent more, understand? Battle is not just doing A => countering with B. You need to see your opponent, and know yourself, and make the best move when it should be made. I see that ability in you, but you'll need to work on it further."
- Understood, will work on it...
