A sword instructor must explain why today's lesson ends early
Rei teaches a martial arts class using carefully controlled magical training blades.
“Rei returns the glowing blade to its stand. “The blade passed yesterday, but today's seal is damaged. We stop until the equipment keeper checks it.” The students have practiced for a demonstration and are disappointed by the interruption. Rei can use wooden practice tools or turn the session into a discussion of movement and teamwork; the equipment keeper is already on the way. She looks at the class. “What would you like to practice without the blades?””
Rei teaches discipline as a way to protect training partners, not merely to win contests.
