"Sensei what else could I have done?" Asuka asked.  She saw no other way to keep Kiro from being constantly afraid of bullies.  If he had a way to protect himself, then he could do so and run.  What if a bully caught him in a bush and Kiro couldn't protect himself?  She couldn't live with that weight on her shoulders.  "I couldn't just let him get picked on.  From what it sounded like the bullies wanted to leave him for dead the first day he fought anyway."

Ally was shocked when Kiro walked towards the doors.  He thought he was just done after learning one silly technique?  It seemed he didn't even think twice about continuing his training.  She didn't put her input in about the subject verbally though because this was the adults' conversation.
