Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ The Fourteenth Master ❯ Epilogue- How it Will Be ( Chapter 7 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

When techniques are created, they are tested.

Under proper instruction the fiercest technique can be
learned by the most foolish, if the student is focused on
his lessons.

When the technique is mastered, it is passed on.

The technique is taught only to the best of the best.

It is taught in it's near maximum form to the strongest, fastest
pupil.

And to the most calm pupil it is taught in its full force.

To protect the technique, the latter passes on the style in
secret to but one.

It is common knowledge that the former passes the technique
on to a single pupil.

So it comes to be that the second master the Hiten Mitsurugii
Ryuu is not the best, but is the master known by the people.

In this the fourteenth master is the weaker.

Should these masters ever encounter one another, a battle
would ensue, one that could only end in the death of a master.

The master that is tainted, whether in mind or reasoning, is the
master that cannot survive. The master that wants to live is the
master that will live.

The master that chooses the tainted path, is the liar, the master
that chooses to die after accomplishing his goal.

He who chooses to live, lives.
