Ah, as a youngster, he too had been brimming with arrogance and fearlessness, thinking himself the knower of all things and aching to learn even further (It's like a 4 year difference, you infant). He'd even performed his little 'experiments' and tried out new techniques all the time, when he and Natori were students. But this realm of sacrifices and dealings was no place for a youngster who hasn't yet fully come to understand the helplessness of human beings in this world, the carefulness required in order to survive, the balance of sacrifice and victory.]
