Why did you say that?

Gen then said, "Confusion? What do you mean?"

And Rode said, "Well, it's not a simple thing to explain. I'll need to see you use it a few more times to be sure."

Gen then said, "Well, that won't be a problem. After all, I still intend to fight a lot today."

And Rode said, "Good, in that case, when you've finished your fights, I'll tell you what I think of this technique."

Gen then said, "Ok."

...

Some time then passed, and it was the time when Gen usually stopped fighting. Gen had fought four more fights and had won them all.

He and Rode then left the arena and started walking back to the inn where they were staying.

Halfway there, Gen said, "So, Rode, have you come to a conclusion as to what the confusion you were talking about was?"

And Rode said, "Yes. I'll tell you now."

Gen then said, "Good, tell me why."
