When choosing the man to stand next to me in battle, be it of wits,
swords or both, I choose the man who has braved temptation while
remaining true. I will avoid the man that is untested, remaining true
only by cloistering himself in a world where the temptation does not
exist.

That world is fantasy, and that man is not dependable for I do not know
him in the world that is. I know Hadoryu though. Sir Hadoryu, Heart of
Valor. Your strength in all forms, is without question.
