To be honest that plan seems quite inefficient, but I'd assume he tries only to learn the very basics this way, without anybody noticing.
I gathered that much, but there's something about her methods and seemingly her understanding of the orders given that don't quite mesh for me. More than the looking for martial artist, I get the feeling that there are some directives that we haven't been privy to or such.

In any case, it does seem that Shalltear wen't out of control with her bloodlust... since she mentioned quite a few times about the need to capture, not kill. Yet, all she did was massacre everyone that got in front of her. Until she was stopped that is.
