The End of a Fraud
He never, ever fights with his hands or with knives. They're precious and are only to be used together while preparing food that will never be wasted.
Instead, he relies on his legs and training from long ago, but the situation that he's in won't allow him to use what he's been taught--because if he does, there won't be an escape for him, and he didn't come this far in his mission just to fall.
So he grabs the nearby knives and faces the man who dares to call himself a cook, the man who uses food as a weapon instead of a life source. And he cuts and slashes and moves his sacred hands and fingers the only way that any cook should, and he tells himself that this is just another meal that he is making. He ignores the obvious suffering and bleeding that he's causing, and he doesn't look his enemy in the eye, doesn't show him any mercy.
And when all is said and done, he thinks that it's still acceptable to call himself a cook as he turns and leaves without even the smallest amount of respect or pity for the fraud behind him.
