"You lay the groundwork down every day."

That's it. That's the only trick he knows.

Even Guts will come here to swing his sword however many hundreds of times in a row to keep it all committed to memory. At this point its just habit, but it took quite a bit of consistent effort.

"Do you want to learn?"

Ronan was a fool, but not a big enough one to say no to that. Aside from the whole "everyone's trying to kill you" thing... it's a sword. How cool would it be to learn to actually use one?

He cracked his knuckles. "Is that an offer?" He tried not to sound too eager at that.

Don't push it Ronan!!!

"I can spar with you and show you how to train yourself. It's up to you to do the rest."

He won't be getting chased down here, Guts will be able to tell if he's been doing his homework when they fight.

Don't tell him what to do!

"I'm good with that. I'm not gonna ask you to hold my hand." In his experience, learning was similar whatever you did. Whether it was learning to throw a punch or playing an uilleann pipe-- or using a sword, apparently-- someone showed you the ropes. You took it from there.
