[illicitly]

really?

what did he say to you?

[sharpestsword]

He told me to move this ball on his desk without touching it and somehow I could.

Then he said: "The shape of the world is determined by those with the strength to mold it."

What do you think that means?

[illicitly]

was there anything special about the ball?

as for the rest, it sounds like he's encouraging you to change the world if you're strong enough.

[sharpestsword]

I think it was some kind of metal.

I'm not strong but maybe with the help of this power I could come close.

[illicitly]

power alone doesn't make someone strong, lady julieta.

it's simply a tool.

it's useless without a tempered mind to accompany it.

[sharpestsword]

If that's something that can be learned then I would like to.

[illicitly]

i can try to teach you if you like.

teaching can be a lot of fun.

[It's one of the tasks he actively enjoys as a sect leader back home. Or at least, the type of teaching he does.]

[sharpestsword]

That would be good for me to know here.

I've noticed others in the Department that seem to have more experience than me and I need to be able to keep up.

If there's anything I can do for you in return we can work something out.

[illicitly]

i'll do what i can.

if you can help me learn how to use these devices better, that would help. my world doesn't have such things.

what do the others seem to have that you don't?

[sharpestsword]

A promotion.

[illicitly]

a promotion?

do you know what they were promoted for or why?

[sharpestsword]

For being good at their job I guess.

[illicitly]

why do you think that you aren't?

[sharpestsword]

I haven't done this kind of work before.

[illicitly]

what kind of work? if you tell me more i might have some advice that could help you.

[sharpestsword]

There were times when I would take a leadership role in the middle of battle but when it comes to meetings and the organizational aspect I don't know what I'm doing.

[illicitly]

i'm good at organizing people and working out strategies. not so much leading during battle but i did a lot of that kind of work back home.

i can teach you some skills. jin guangyao might be able to help, too. he taught me a lot.

[sharpestsword]

If I get a promotion by next month then I'll owe you two a favor.

[illicitly]

you're a capable woman, lady julieta. i'm sure you'll succeed.
it just takes learning and practice to get better at some things.

[sharpestsword]

Thank you.

I'll show you what I can do sometime.

[illicitly]

you're welcome.

i look forward to it.
