Master Auron:
How do you hunt a poison spider with a rusty sword? Look here, fellow, do you know what the creed of our warriors guild is? It's stay alive even in the worst conditions. There is no law that says you will always be at an advantage in a fight against your opponent. However, in any situation, you can win if you keep your wits about you.
Think of this ... do you think a knight armed with luxurious Steel armor and a Steel sword has achieved a real victory after killing a farmer who is armed with a wooden spear? True victory is rolling in the mud and taking a beating, then picking up a stone and striking for your opponent's head. It is that gruesome. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Say you understand
