[Johnny squints as Oscar says that. But- There's actually a small flicker of understanding there. He knew his own relationship with Kreese had been more complicated than just student and sensei when he was growing up. ...Or at least it had been on his end. Maybe there was a bit more to that between him and Miguel as well. ...Or a few of his other students here.]

But if you're serious about learning from him you better start jumping into all of his lessons. Even the ones you're not sure you can handle yet.

It might surprise you what you're actually ready for.

But don't let him pull some of the weird shit my students have said he's capable of on you. He's got a responsibility to help you grow up right.

He snorts at the next comment.]

Sure, kid. Some people are happy to be quitters. I'm not about to stop though.
