After speaking his mind, he turned to Ito Nanako who was wearing a shocked expression. Joyfully, he spoke, "Miss Ito, your bone structure and meridians are good. Judging from our Oskian martial arts point of view, your conception and governing vessels have been partially activated. If you're able to activate it completely, then you are able to become a disciple of the inner circle." s
"Your conception and governing vessels?!" Ms. Ito asked in astonishment. "Is that the ancient Oskian martial art lore’s meridian points? Plus, what's a disciple of the inner circle?!" 4
Charlie spoke with a more serious tone, "Martial art myths originated from the traditional martial arts. Just like the concept of meridians, those aren’t made u p myths but are verified facts from the medical journals of Oskia which were found to be thousands of years old." 6
"As for disciples of the inner circle, how do I put it? Let me put it this way. With your current training, you won't be able to achieve anything near the inner circle's level of martial art prowess even after forty, fifty years of training. The only way for you to become a disciple of the inner circle is by having your conception and governing vessels activated, and then train in the inner circle cultivation method." 6
Ito Nanako then asked, "Then...are the disciples of the inner circle strong?" 1
Yamamoto laughed judgingly. "Nanako, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. All this inner outer bullshit is nothing but ancient Oskian myth used to trick the dumb. Do you remember the time I showed you the so-called professional Tai Chi granny?” 5
Nanako replied, "I remember..."
Yamamoto laughed as he continued, "There was this granny in a white Tai Chi robe who was able to bring down several strong men with a single wave of her palm. The men even rounded themselves up into a line and the old lady just pushed a gentle palm forward and everyone fell to the ground. Simply ridiculous! But in truth, it was just a bunch of actors acting for a film!" 6
