Meti ten Ryo

“My ignorant student once asked me if a sword was necessary to kill a man. I told her I could kill her with my fingernail if I needed to. My student, who was a fantastic idiot, then asked me if the edge was important. I cracked her on the skull with the edge of one of my wooden sandals, which are among my only possessions.
‘Did that hurt?’ I said to her.”
