[This doesn't bode well for sparring practice against Kiryu, but Akira knows the goal is to learn from him, not to best him in a contest of might and will. As long as no one sees him getting beaten up by a grandpa, it's fine. He has an image to maintain here.
Akira's begun to get a bit pruney, so he pulls himself out of the bath and wraps a towel around his waist.]
I appreciate it, Kiryu-san. In exchange, I'll cook you all the coffee and curry you can stomach. Can we start training tomorrow?

[In front of his crush, Kiryu? What kind of monster are you?]
...Fine. I'll ask him to come along, but you better not make me look uncool. I have an image to maintain.

Obviously not.
[It's educating on how to fight, not a gratuitous attack on Akira! Or on Kurapika]
Thanks.
[Looks like it's set!]

[...And one last thing before he goes:]
Thanks for checking up on me. It means a lot.
[See you later, Kiryu!]
