[Vergil nods his agreement that Nero's charged shots provide him with an adequate starting point. It's certainly far better than what Vergil started with when he was a boy. He doesn't answer Nero's questions immediately, not even after swallowing his bite of food, as he tries to think of a succinct way of putting it that Nero may understand and grappling with how to answer the second.]
You might think of Dante's bullets as a more...rudimentary version of my blades. His bullets pierce and damage, but I am able to do more than just that with my blades.
[It feels the best way Vergil can put it without outright calling Dante out for not developing his demonic abilities as far as he most likely could if he willed it. Not that his bullets could possibly do everything Vergil uses his blades for given there's no real good way for a bullet to serve as a defensive option. But just as Vergil is able to pin and more successfully launch his targets at will, Dante could likely do the same if he put his mind to it.]
[As to the second question...]
Whatever you wish to learn, I am willing to guide you in learning.
[Vergil hopes Nero understands his meaning beyond mere agreeableness to serve as a teacher. He doesn't anticipate that Nero will adopt many of Vergil's techniques. Vergil is more based in precision and speed in his technique rather than packing a powerful punch as Dante often does. If he had to guess from his small sampling of Nero's style, he's going to inherently lean more towards his uncle's way of doing things than Vergil. But if Vergil's techniques can be applied in a way that works for Nero, he's more than happy to contribute to his learning.]
[When Nero feels ready to learn, of course. Although, Vergil leaves that part unspoken to avoid making Nero feel pushed in any direction.]
