The next day I was back in the old man's laboratory after I had formed my 'body'. This time I would ask him about the learning method, as he seemed to be that knowledgeable.
As usual, he was bent fiddling with something and muttering to himself. Was there a time when he wasn't doing that? But anyway, this was something that had to be done.
"Old man, can you teach me?"
He answered without looking back at me in a calm tone without any hint of confusion like he usually did.
"But I thought I'm already teaching you about bombs. Is there anything else I'm supposed to teach you?"
He answered coherently in a normal voice! This might be one of his rare sane moments! I have a chance.
"I want you to teach me how to train my Hani."
There was a pause in his work.
"Can't help you. Techniques are similar in the beginning, with the whole 'look inside your body' whatever but eventually all techniques branch out. What works for one might not work for another. So I can't help you."
