[Edge puts himself on full view in the video for the sake of people who don't know him, emphasizing things such as the mask, the cloak, the weapons at his side. Though it isn't a black stealth outfit concealing his form entirely, what else could anyone call him but a ninja?]

Hello, everyone! My name is Edge, and as you've no doubt deduced, I am a ninja. More to the point, I'm a ninja willing to teach those who want to learn the techniques I have to offer. Stealth, disguise, throwing weapons, combat techniques both armed and unarmed that focus on quick and aggressive takedowns -- I'll even teach what ninjutsu I can, if I find students with the knack for it. All of these are techniques we can use in our efforts to fufill prayers, fight ayakashi, or investigate trouble in the Far Shore or the Near. Of course, you don't need to learn all of them, if you're only interested in stealth, or physical combat, or whatever suits you!

[Edge glances to the side, slightly.] This was... originally intended to be a joint effort with Ayumu. I think she would want me to continue it, though I'm not going to be able to teach everything she could have, so sorry about that.

In any case. [Putting that somber thought behind.] If you're interested, do let me know. Classes will be held at my god Saber's temple, flexible times for people who might be busy. We'll work it out once I know who's in. Hope to see you there!

[Seriously, don't ask how many takes this video required.]

Oh, I'd be interested! I know some fighting already, and since I was made to play a ninja in Miss Hibiki's movie I finally learned what the word means and I'm even more interested.

[Well, he's certain that whatever it was Hibiki did, she screwed it up.]

I hope the reality will prove as entertaining and interesting as the fiction!

[ Probably. But he did learn the word after being told by a bunch of people, repeatedly, that he is one. ]

Yeah I didn't really get what her fiction was about, even if it was hilarious. [ In all the wrong places, of course. Obi had fun. ] But real fighting training is generally way more interesting than fake fighting training anyway.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I have to agree, though my training is more towards ending fights than enjoying them. Of course, there's no harm in enjoying a fight you can't end quickly, is there?

[yasei]

Of course, but to end a fight effectively you need to get stronger and better at fighting, and there's nothing wrong with enjoying it while it lasts.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Hmm, that's true in part. Sometimes the true way to end a fight is how you make your first strike, not your last one. But it's all part of the same principles!

[yasei]

I know I know, but you need skills to land a first strike that is also the last. Either way training is good.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Precisely! However you slice it, though, I do enjoy the fighting, so there'll be plenty of chances to hone those skills.

[yasei]

And so! I will look forward to learning how wrong Miss Hibiki was and how much of what I already know really is comparable.

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I'll do my best by you -- you've a ninja's word on that!

[yasei]

Ooh, I'll look forward to it even more then.
