Initial dialogue

 * Kai Ying
 * Well, , I think you are ready for the dueling grounds, where you will learn the fine art of dueling. It is an age-old tradition that dates back to...well, farther than most of us care to recall. You know how it is: it always starts with an Air specialist going on and on about how great "Lightning Orb" is. It's enough to give me "Exhaustion". Specialists all think their chosen element is the best, but it is skill, not skills, that keep you...well...not dead.

Reward dialogue
''Well, you survived, and I see that is more than I can say for your fellow students. I will have to get one of the Monks down here to clean up this mess.''
 * Kai Ying

Trivia

 * In the inital dilogue, Kai Ying puns on the elementalist skill Lightning Orb and the effect Exhaustion.
 * Most of the students in this quest later become Afflicted and you end up fighting their monstrous forms at some point in the game.
