"Training regimen?"
I repeated the words back to her as if it were the first time I was hearing them.
She leaned in close, and suddenly it felt as if I were back at the university, standing in front of my professor.
"Tell me, why do you think I took interest in you and began training you?"
Why?
"I guess because of the deal we made before. I would join your cause to help people, and you would teach me combat."
"Wrong," she said, shaking her head and sighing. "If I were so desperate for help, then I could've found stronger players than you. The reason I decided to help you is because of my sister. I wanted to make sure that the guy she was with was at least strong enough to protect her. Imagine my disappointment when I heard she got kidnapped."
Ah, so that's what this is about.
"It was a dangerous situation. I admit I should've predicted someone coming after her and made better precautions."
