Steps[]

Venier: A hundred and thirty-six... Alright, fourteen more times, and we'll take a break!

Do you need a hand?

Venier: A hand? No, no need. What training requires the assistance of another?

Venier: Only by honing my physique can I join Legion Athanatoi as one of its sublime soldiers, just like this officer here!

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Venier: Ah yes, introductions are in order! This is my instructor. Only by clearing the tests he sets can I earn the right to ascend.

Um, isn't this just a statue?

Venier: What are you saying, citizen? Are not all Remurians this way?

Tests? What tests?

Venier: Combat tests, naturally. An ascendant, immortal form is one thing, but combat skills must be honed of one's own accord.

Venier: In any case, would you like to have a go? The initial test involves the simultaneous smashing of these stone pillars.

Venier: Don't underestimate them, however! Even with all my training, I can only shatter one with a single punch.

I'll give it a try.

Venier: Excellent! You have spirit! Come, let me witness your strength!

Maybe next time.

Venier: Of course. A test can only be taken after sufficient training, after all.

(Talk to Venier again, optional): Venier: Don't underestimate them, however! Even with all my training, I can only shatter one with a single punch.

(After destroying all the stone pillars in one go): Venier: Huh... So that's how you chose to handle it...; Venier: Truly splendid. Have you previously served in our God King's armies, by any chance?; Nameless Stone Statue: ...; Venier: Our fine officer also praises your performance! It seems I must work harder!

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Hey there, buddy! Nice weather we're having today...

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Nothing to say to me, have you?

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Perhaps we can spar a bit...

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Show me the side you usually hide.

Nameless Stone Statue: ...

Alright, looks like this one really is just a statue.

Forget it, why am I competing with a statue...?

Let's not waste our time...

Don't be silly. Statues don't talk.

This should just be a statue.
