"It... Was part of the Inner Lotus training, like I was trying to say earlier. When you first start to grow the Inner Lotus, this is the next challenge: you are put in a field of targets, very thick, and made to run a hammer routine for five minutes.
"The point is not to break as many targets as possible; quite the opposite. You are not considered to have good fine control until the wild arcs of the hammers break only a minimal quota. Three is traditionally a fail. I did not stop training until I had struck none."
