Kuina's Unwillingness

Without a doubt, this was a remarkable decision.

It also has a very distinctive Kuina style.

If you can't do it, then just give up.

But on the road, I will definitely do my best!

This is what Kuina was thinking.

If this dream were always out of reach, Kuina would give up on her own. But within this month-long agreement with her father, Kuina also has the courage to fight to the death!

That was his decision.

It's also a way of giving myself closure!

Seeing Kuina like this, Koushirou felt both heartache and helplessness, and in the end, he could only look to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan, of course, accepted it. After giving Koushirou a reassuring look, she smiled at Kuina in front of her.

"Alright, Kuina, you're still a bit injured, so don't rush to argue with your father. In short, let's wait another month after you've fully recovered, okay?"

Lin Yan smiled at Kuina, then looked at Koushirou on the other side.

"I have no objection, Kuina. You should focus on recovering during this time."

There was no reason for Koushirou to disagree, so he immediately nodded.

"Hmm..."

Although somewhat dissatisfied, since both of them had said so, and considering her current situation, Kuina could only reluctantly nod her head.

Seeing his daughter nod, Koushirou finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lin Yan a grateful look.

If Kuina were to fight desperately again...

He didn't know what to do.

Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle at Koushirou's gaze.

As a swordsman, Koushirou is certainly qualified, but as a father... Lin Yan said it was hard to say.

Of course.

Koushirou's affection for Kuina was absolutely genuine, but at the same time, he was also incredibly clumsy.

They only saw one child and forgot that raising a child requires coaxing.

"Alright, alright, that's enough for today, Kuina. Don't go to training anymore. Listen to your father; he's very worried about you this time, understand?"

Lin Yan shook her head with a wry smile, then warned Kuina again.

"Um..."

Kuina responded softly, finally ceasing her objections.

And so the matter was settled amicably.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the father and daughter, Lin Yan turned and went back to her room.

Although she possesses Infinite Martial Arts, which can be said to have reached the pinnacle of humanity, any one of the various combat techniques in Lin Yan's mind would be astonishing.

However, there aren't many suitable for girls.

after all...

Even among the great heroes of mythology, girls were few and far between.

So in a sense, what Koushirou said earlier was actually correct; it is indeed quite difficult to realize.

But it's not entirely impossible.

With this in mind, Lin Yan began to silently ponder what she should teach Kuina next.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Having finally escaped her father's belated concern, Kuina sighed wearily in the garden.

I can't take it!

It's really unbearable!

Just thinking about her father's loving and tolerant eyes made Kuina feel terrible.

I'm getting goosebumps!

After all, in my memory, Koushirou had always been an extremely strict father, especially when it came to swordsmanship training, where he was as strict as a devil.

Kuina had always felt that something was wrong with this.

After all, her own dream was to become the World's Greatest Swordsman, so being strict was perfectly justified. She had always respected Koushirou for that.

But suddenly, Koushirou revealed his compassionate side...

"..."

As if she had thought of something extremely terrifying, Kuina couldn't help but shudder and looked around suspiciously.

Only after realizing that Koushirou was not around did she let out a soft sigh of relief.

I can't get used to it!

I'll never get used to it!

Kuina couldn't help but scream inwardly.

Then, quite inexplicably, he looked towards the room where Lin Yan was.

Yes, having finally escaped from Koushirou, besides being unable to cope with her father's sudden change in style, Kuina had another question to answer.

What exactly happened before?

Although she knew perfectly well that this was probably just her own unfounded imagination, Kuina was still very concerned about the light that appeared that day.

A girl's intuition told her...

All of this has to do with Lin Yan!

So, in order to find out exactly what happened, Kuina decided to investigate a little.

Of course, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask Lin Yan directly about this, and Kuina could tell that Lin Yan didn't seem to intend to reveal it.

Since that's the case, we can only try tapping from the side.

"Hey you! Come here for a second!"

Just then, she saw a disciple hurrying by, and Kuina's eyes lit up. She immediately waved to the person.

"Um, Senior Sister, you were looking for me?"

Although the man looked completely bewildered, he still obediently walked over.

Kuina squinted at him.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions now, and you must answer them honestly, or you can stop calling me Senior Sister, understand?"

Kuina said this very seriously.

"No, that won't do! Senior Sister, you can ask!"

The disciple immediately nodded readily. As mentioned before, Kuina was indeed very popular here.

"I'm asking you, how did you finally wake up when I passed out that day?"

Kuina asked very seriously.

"Ha?"

The disciple was slightly taken aback, then truthfully told Kuina.

"I don't know, Senior Sister. After you fainted that day, that person kicked us and Master out, and then you woke up. I don't know anything else."

The disciple said, somewhat bewildered.

"I understand, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Kuina, being such a clever girl, naturally sensed something was wrong immediately. After all, if it was just about saving her, what was the point of kicking everyone else out?

There's definitely something fishy going on!

She keenly sensed that something was wrong, but on the surface, Kuina showed no extra reaction, simply smiling as she saw her disciple off.

Then, for some inexplicable reason, she glanced at Lin Yan's room and couldn't help but wrinkle her little nose.

"Hmph! I knew it wouldn't be that simple!"
