If you're not keen on PvP, be aware that challenging and fighting the Pearlfin Recruit will flag you. I didn't notice until I was leaving the village and started being chased by an opposite faction player.
There's no notice that this will happen in the quest text either, so keep this in mind if you decide to accept and complete this quest.
It appears that the quest no longer flags you for PvP when you duel the Pearlfin Recruit.

What to do
Description
Welcome back, {name}! It seems the Jinyu have taken to our training even better than I had hoped. We're in the final stages of our preparations now. I need someone to go check in with Amber, Bold Karasshi, and Mishka. See if they need any help to complete their training. You'll find Karasshi and Mishka here in Pearlfin Village. Amber is training recruits in Slingtail Pits to the northwest.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Unexpected Advantage
Things seem to be goin' our way more and more lately, <name>. I was out doin some explorin' when I came upon this little beauty. <Sully gestures to the ballista to his right.> Problem is she's one of a set and the other one is still in pieces.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Last Piece of the Puzzle
I must say, <name>, despite their skirmishes with the hozen, I've never seen the jinyu so militant. This troubles me. We must discuss it another time, however. I have come to ask for your assistance. The fresco, where last we spoke, is nearly unveiled.
