(For the record, several new sensors have been installed in the location of vital organs to detect how much damage a hit would have done. New control points for the synth-muscle have also been added, replacing the old joint servos.

"So, why so harsh?" Bolton continued, waving the sparring droids away.

"It's simple. In any confrontation you'll encounter in this field of work, your opposition will be completely determined to maim or kill you. I personally don't want any of my students going into a fight expecting to be able to hold back and still win. Playing defensively to figure out your opponents fighting style is perfectly viable and encouraged but handicapping yourself is a folly."

"Proverb Number 2 of the Eliminator Program: Die with honor. Cheaters however, usually get to live." Fritz added with a cheeky smirk. "You've also heard it as Maxim 31 of the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries: Only Cheaters Prosper."

"Yes, Agent Panzier would be correct, but the term "cheating" would imply combat has rules. Sport has rules; violence doesn't. My goal isn't just to teach you to throw a punch or take a hit, it's to instill in you the idea of pragmaticism. If you're a bounty hunter and you need your targets alive, I will be more than happy to show you non-lethal methods. If you simply need targets out of the way, I can teach you that as well."
