On Saturday afternoon, Jiang Cheng says:
"Zaizai, do you want to spar?"
(What he's not thinking about is the fact that he hasn't seen Nie Huaisang since lunch. It's fine. It's totally fine. People can take breaks.)
"I didn't think it'd work that well!" Masozi admits. "I just kind of ran out of ideas for things to try. ....That weren't mind control."
"Mind control is allowed in sparring if you say ahead of time. But it isn't good idea most of the time I think? Because it uses up mana."
"Yeah. That was what I was thinking too. ...Can you teach me what you would've done instead of the things I actually did?"
"Yes. But first you practice falling. When you is good at falling, I teach punching."
"Okay. How long do you think I need to practice falling for?"
"I teach you again in week? You practice every night. I see how well you do."
Nod. "Did....I do okay today?"
"Good instincts. And you fight like you want to kill someone. It is good."
Masozi looks so happy and delighted at hearing this!
