Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Jinzo

It is our solemn duty as Assassins to be quick and precise with our blades. Your prey should feel not a moment's pain; it must die before it knows you have struck.

I trust your steel is sharp; this exercise will sharpen your mind. Instructor Su provided us with some target minions. Kill 5 of them. And remember, every blade had two sides.

 Accept: "My blade will strike true."

 Decline: "My blades need sharpening."

 Ask: "This test requires that you kill 5 target minions. Now, focus."

Reward dialogue

Jinzo

You did well.

These were just mindless target minions. Some day your target will be someone's sister, husband, mother, or son. This knowledge is yours to bear.
