"If you're trying to be good at something, then why are you wasting your time with it at all? It doesn't make sense."

"I'm not wasting my time..." Ryo pouted a bit. "I train lots. Pretty sure I'm not too bad. Definitely harder to hurt now!" He nodded feeling a bit more self-assured.

"Congratulations, you can now scrabble with the masses," Esha said dryly. "There's far more to being a ninja than being harder to hit, but it looks like you haven't gotten that far in your training yet."

"Hmmm, and you know all the other stuff about being a great ninja?" Ryo shrugged. But he didn't see anything particurlarly wrong with fitting in with the masses... It did tend to make him stand out less.

"Not all of it, no. But I'm working hard to learn." He lifted the scrolls in his arms to accentuate the point. "There's more to it than just fighting."

Ryo made a face at the scrolls. "Bleh... I hate those things." He inwardly shuddered at the thought of reading. He'd much rather someone just taught him what he needed to know. Or even figure these things out on his own.

"They're a bit dry but they're useful. There's a lot in these that they don't get around to teaching you in class."

"Oh? So what makes you think that they're so useful if they don't teach it?" Ryo asked, feeling honestly curious.

"There are techniques in them that they don't have time to teach us. They only give us the basics, and it's up to us to learn the rest. You had Oki for a teacher, didn't you? Have you seen what she can do? She didn't learn that here."

Ryo looked thoughtful for a moment. "Oki's taught me some Taijutsu... I haven't seen her do anything else. She wants to wait to teach me other stuff." He shrugged.

Esha nodded. "Probably a good idea if you're this much of an idiot. She specializes in water ninjutsu. None of it's anything she learned here."

Ryo didn't seem phased at all that Esha seemed to think he was and idiot or stupid or whatever. He still had that grin and nodded at the other boy. "Eh, water stuff's probably pretty cool, but I wanna learn how to breathe ice~"

"Ice? You'd want to talk to Yuki, then. I heard that's what he specializes in."

"Mmhmm," Ryo nodded. "He said he'd teach me stuff. Gave me a book to read a while ago... Haven't read it all tho..." He laughed and scratched at the back of his head.

"He likely can't teach you until you've read the book," Esha pointed out.
