He doesn't even know what ninjas are so for all he knows the image she has is the true one.

"Hm...that's a tricky question. To begin with, while what some disciples and masters of various sects can do resembles some forms of magic here, none of those abilities are inherently...super." He says the word as if the exact meaning of that word in this context was rather novel to him. "It's simply something anyone could learn with enough dedication. But as for fighting crime and protecting the people...martial arts sects do do that as does the government. However, it's not entirely correct yo say it's not legal."

Sects will deal with crimes and bandits in their territories which makes the government officials' jobs easier and the government manages the borders and stability of the country so those who are part of the wulin can focus just on improving their martial arts."
