Dialogue[]

Quest Description

A guy named Asakura seems to be looking for someone to help him train in martial arts...

(Talk to Asakura)

Asakura: I must! I must...

Asakura: Huh? Who are you?

I accepted your commission.

Asakura: Oh, you mean my request for a training partner. That's right, I posted that. I want to find someone as my martial arts training partner.

Asakura: So you're the one who accepted it? I don't think I have ever met you in the city before.

Asakura: Sorry, I don't mean to question your strength. But I'm really not sure what your martial arts skills are like...

I've defeated giant dragons before.

Asakura: Hahaha... is that so? Actually, I'm more curious about where you found one of those. I've only heard of them before...

Oh, don't worry, I'm pretty capable.

I witnessed the fall of a god.

Asakura: Eh, what are you talking about? You mean that you've taken part in the Rite of Descension in Liyue before, right?

Asakura: Hahaha, based on your logic, many people in Liyue have "witnessed the fall of a god" as well.

Oh, don't worry, I'm pretty capable.

Asakura: Haha, anyway, words won't prove anything. Let's put the words to test with our hands then.

Gladly.

Actually, why did you post that commission anonymously?

Asakura: Well, it's actually because of something that I... am not proud of...

Asakura: Ahem, since you have already accepted it, I will tell you the truth, then.

Asakura: Earlier, I went out on a mission with several Doushin. On the way back, we ran into a group of Kairagi who were getting ready to raid a merchant caravan.

Asakura: We rushed over there to rescue the caravan. In the beginning, we had the upper hand, and they quickly retreated.

Asakura: But when we were just about to have a break, another group of Kairagi suddenly came out of nowhere, and there seemed to be a leader commanding them.

Asakura: Before my colleagues and I could react, they were already overwhelming us...

Asakura: Having lost the upper hand, we could only try fending the Kairagi off while escorting the merchants back to the town.

Asakura: And when I was fighting against that Kairagi leader... he took my weapon.

Asakura: And that guy actually held my weapon up after taking it, laughing at me all the while. It was so humiliating...

What happened to that group of merchants?

Asakura: We ran into other patrolling Doushin while retreating, so those Kairagi also retreated after seeing them.

Asakura: Those merchants were also escorted to the city by us. But their goods were all... *sigh* It's all because my skills were lacking...

Asakura: After returning, I was also issued another weapon. But I still can't get over what happened...

Asakura: Therefore, I posted that commission in the hopes of honing my skill.

Asakura: Once I am powerful enough, I'm going to defeat that Kairagi myself and take my weapon back, clearing this stain from my name!

Asakura: So, are you ready?

Bring it on!

Asakura: Swords do not discriminate. Here I come!
(Starts the match)

Give me a moment.

Asakura: Take your time. Let me know when you are ready.

(If you select "Give me a moment")

Asakura: So, are you ready?

Bring it on!

Asakura: Swords do not discriminate. Here I come!
(Starts the match)

Give me a moment.

Asakura: Take your time. Let me know when you are ready.

(During the battle): Asakura: Hold your weapon tight. I'm attacking!

(After winning the match): Asakura: *panting* You... are indeed formidable.; Asakura: I... I have learned much.; Are you okay?; Sorry, I didn't control my strength back then...; Asakura: That's... alright. I just need to catch my breath...; Asakura: But you are so powerful that I would have believed it even if you claimed to have defeated a giant dragon...; Actually, I have defeated giant dragons...; Asakura: Hahaha... I believe you, of course. Thank you for training with me. I will remember what I have learned from this match.; Asakura: If you do not mind, please come and practice with me often from now on. Having a strong warrior such as yourself as my training partner... I am sure that I will complete that deed soon.; "That deed"?; Asakura: Ahem... It's just a little wish I have on my mind. Thank you for your help. Please take these as payment.; Asakura: Now, I need to go back and take a break. Your moves were most mighty indeed...
