Access to money and privilege in my world is gatekept by obtaining a Hunter's license. It motivates people enough to learn how to battle, which creates a world where battle takes prominence.
[ Which he thinks is neither good or bad. It simply is what it is. ]
Magic, powers...all of that doesn't really exist outside of fiction in my world. We have weapons and fighting, but things that are supernatural like this aren't really a thing there.
[ He laughs weakly. ]
That's why I came here for help. I'd rather work my way up so I don't continue to be a liability.

[ He can't say he knows what that's like (the license thing, anyway). He'll also just accept this as an "it is what it is" scenario. ]
A world like this must not be as terrifying for you, then...

[ Down to magic being nearly customizable. Though Yamato's comment has him wondering something, now. ]

no subject
[ A lot, actually. ]

[ He's been feeling like one a lot lately, even before coming here. Kurapika doesn't realize it, but hearing that actually does help a lot. ]
I'll do my best. I'll show you my progress, even.

[ And while he knows he should keep his distance from everyone here, he can't help himself either. ]
I'll give you proper combat training, if you like.
no subject
[ Even if he gets his ass kicked every 2 seconds because the die hate him. ]
Thanks. I don't know what I can do for you in exchange, but if there's ever anything, let me know.
no subject
[ He shrugs. Really, he sees it as a net positive anyway. Kurapika gets to practice and Yamato get to git gud. ]
And if not? It doesn't matter.
no subject
[ HONESTLY...that's kind of a relief to hear. ]
If there's nothing else for today, I'm going to go to the kitchen.
