Rin agreed to spar, he knew he needed training, and I didn't even hurt him too much. It doesn't make sense that everyone's mad at me.

[Stein maybe it is because you goaded him into fighting you, blasted him twice with your soul, and threatened to dissect him. Not every shonen hero is as tough as your students.]

A little extra training never hurt anyone.

[Says the man who drew swords on a guy half his age during a friendly sparring session.]

Not all human teenagers are as resilient as Black*Star or Maka, you know. That could be why.

[Says the guy that has had his arm cut off and shook it off after reattaching itself through crazy powers.]

They're never thankful, are they?

[Flatly.} They'll get over it.

[A pause. His lenses flash.] Tell me you at least got to dissect him.

Rin's half demon. He's almost as resilient as you are, but he doesn't have enough experience.

No one ever taught him that he can't just lie down in a fight and hope his opponent goes away.

Exactly.

I'd never hear the end of it from Kid and Maka if I did. [Unfortunately.]

[Bullshit, Professa.]

You goaded him into doing it and then grabbed his tail and threatened to cut it off.

...

[Why are you here????? NO ASURA GO AWAY]

They're just being overprotective.

I made one comment, and if he doesn't want people grabbing his tail in a fight he shouldn't leave it hanging out.

You shouldn't be grabbing his tail in a spar! Sparring isn't so you can injure the person beyond belief, you of all people should know that!

[FEELINGS.]

[He's always everywhere including right behind you right now.]

Isn't it necessary to teach brats through methods such as physical punishment? Foolish compassion is the same was weakness and what sort of teacher deliberately teaches weakness?

[His dad, for one.]

Ah, those two. [He frowns, though not too noticeably. He's more than familiar with Maka's dislike of in-class dissections.]

Friends of his, I take it?

Grabbing his tail won't injure him beyond belief, Maka. At the very worst it would dislocate it, and that can be fixed easily.

The three of them are dating. [Kids and their threesomes.]

Unfortunately, that means that they're both overprotective of Rin.

Is that so? Who said compassion is weakness?

You're not going to be "fixing" anything--in fact, you're not allowed to touch him ever again.

I did.

[Pay attention, Stein, geeze.]

He could have refused to fight me. I didn't force him into anything.

You're not much of an authority on the subject of compassion, are you?

On the contrary, I am an expert! I have seen into it and through it and outgrown it! Look at those with compassion! They're all weak compared to the brutal!

You said something that you knew would goad him into fighting you! Then you attacked his soul directly, twice, acted like you were going to kill him and scared the hell out of him!

[HUFF.]

"Killing intent" is not what he needs! Don't you know that he struggles with things like that because he's half demon? He can't go into every fight with intent to kill something in his world, that's not the way things are!

[An eyebrow raises.]

The three of them?

[Courtship in general has always baffled Stein, but...seriously?]

Are you sure? Have you met every compassionate and every brutal person in this world? You can't talk in absolutes unless you are certain of your facts.

Oh, I know and I am sure. I have seen more than a human could imagine.
