[@Derg2]: It was more that he was completely untrained(unless I missed something), so being shirtless and wearing a wooden sword seemed kind of incongruous to being high enough rank to do more serious jobs. As I said, the shirtlessness is fine if he's actually a good enough fighter, I'm not trying to be super realistic here or something.

As for the age, as stated it's more or less because hundi culturally marry the first person who defeats them in an honorable one-on-one duel during their coming of age journey. So like, if you wanted to deal with that potentially happening given your hundi is trying to adhere to their traditional culture, you can keep his age just fine. But that could potentially occur is the thing.
