Part 941: Kjelle B

Hello, Kjelle. More weapon work today?

I must be ever vigilant with my training and fitness. A soldier must always be in top condition if she is to survive the rigors of war.

......

Gods, those meaningful silences of yours are very annoying....Anyway, what do you think of my lance work? I fixed that problem you mentioned.

Much better. You now place your whole body behind the thrust.

See? I told you I would fix it. In fact, just before you---

However, your footwork is lacking.

What's wrong with it?

You're throwing too much weight into the thrust and becoming unbalanced. It's a common enough mistake. More practice should fix the problem.

Grr...

You sound displeased.

It's all right for you, isn't it?!

I'm not following.

No matter how hard I train or how much I practice and train, I'll never beat you!

I wasn't aware that was a consideration.

Don't play dumb! You look down on me because I'm a woman, don't you? The fact that I'll never be as good as you justifies the prehudice in your own mind!

Don't be absurd. I'm just offering advice.

Well, I need to get back to my practice, so advise someone else!

As you wish. Keep up the training.

Arrrgh! I don't need you to tell me that, you patronizing know-it-all! ...That does it. Next time, I'm going to be perfect just to shut you up!
