Fang Duobing can't help but blink at the offense in Inigo's tone. It's not like he asked if the boy had hurt him-- What's wrong with having a light spar with a child that's eager to play with swords? How else is a kid supposed to learn?

"If the child is claiming he can best you, then why not prove otherwise to him? Should he keep thinking that he can challenge adults until one takes him up on it with the intent to hurt him?" Or worse, he doesn't say. He thinks his point is clear enough as it is.

"An important part of learning swordplay is understanding your limits. It's not bullying to show a child they've overestimated themselves."

And if they haven't... Well, that's a lesson for Inigo to learn instead.
