"Haa!!..."As if expecting his answer, Irene released a deep breath of sigh. "So you are telling me that you want to dig two disciplines at once? Do you know how hard that is? Just digging one discipline takes others a lifetime and even then, it is not guaranteed that they will be able to reach the essence of that discipline much less reach true mastery in it".
"And here you are talking about digging not one but two disciplines at once. Do you think it will be that easy?"
"I know it won't be easy. However, I have to do it. I have too many things I need to protect. if I don't become stronger than anyone else, I won't be able to keep others from taking away the things that are dear to me".
Silent glanced at the silent Irene and explained his reasoning. Thinking that it still might not be enough to convince her, he added—
"I know, it might sound foolish and I may come to regret it in the future. However, I still want to give it a try".
