In this chapter, we learn that the master intends to teach his new master how to use his sword. He asks if the master is willing to accept his mantle, but the master says that he is not a swordsman, and that he will not pass up any of the weapons that are not appropriate for him. The master tells him to be careful, because he will be using his secret sword, and he warns the master not to use it without his sword or bow, because it will destroy all of his abilities
