My Student

I saw strength in the boy when he arrived, physical and mental, so I took on
his training.  Without such training, both body and mind are worthless to a
warrior. 

Long hours we spent on the practice field. It was always he who demanded, "once
again," long after I would have him rest.

But, I insisted he think and reason, as well as fight.  There are times one
must obey blindly, but sometimes one must question the even the 'Gods'
themselves.  One must choose carefully.

When the time to question came, he acted wisely, and made an old man proud.
