"Kid!" Kulan patted the air wall—knowledge and Skill are two different things. A person can recite every starting move and attack route of a swordsmanship technique by heart—but this is fundamentally different from several years or even decades of personal practice.
Kulan thought that even if Brand 'understood' countless swordsmanship techniques right now, he would probably still find it difficult to perform them. He had the same experience himself, but the advantage of decades of practice allowed him to figure out a lot of Experience. He thought that with his guidance, Brand might be able to defeat those opponents.
So he shouted: "Don't bother with those things in your mind! I'll tell you how to use what you've just learned—whose swordsmanship did you learn?"
But the old man didn't expect that Brand completely ignored him.
