While the Asset's primary function was the elimination of targets deemed dangerous by HYDRA, it was not his only capability. From time to time he was deployed in a training capacity, with instructions to mold young recruits, or eliminate them. He did far more of the latter than ther former, but HYDRA never punished him for it. He was the best; they knew it. HYDRA hadn't been able to replicate his durability, adaptability, skillset and resiliency in a single candidate. He was unique.
Rarely was he instructed to work with a single student; usually he started with a group whose numbers dwindled as days passed. He faintly wondered what set this one apart from others he'd trained.
He'd find out soon enough.
"Irrelevant. Defend yourself," came the reply, brusque and to the point. The Asset had been told to train the boy, but given no indication of current skill. Therefore he likely had to evaluate, then report to his handlers. They would be watching through the camera feed. And they would not take any further delay on his part kindly.
