Mustard's Dojo and Kubfu

Honey told Mustard the answer she had gotten from Kubfu.

After hearing it, Mustard couldn't help feeling troubled. "Well, this makes things difficult..."

His original plan had been to hold the three great trials to select the most suitable Trainer for Kubfu.

But now Kubfu had someone it wanted to wait for. If he continued with the three great trials and the winning apprentice wasn't that person, Kubfu surely wouldn't be happy.

Besides, he didn't even know what that person was like.

What puzzled Mustard even more was that Kubfu had never left the Isle of Armor, so how had it met this person?

Unable to figure it out, Mustard sighed. With all those questions still on his mind, he returned to the living room, took out the latest Switch console, and started playing.

Seeing this, Honey smiled helplessly. She had intended to keep checking on Kubfu's health, but when she turned to look at it, she saw it leap off the windowsill and run outside.

"Oh? What's gotten into it?" Honey paused in surprise, then followed.

She followed Kubfu to the dojo's entrance and stopped.

She had spotted a tall young man walking toward the dojo.

The young man was handsome, with a faint smile on his face. Despite his imposing build, he gave off a very gentle air.

That was...

Honey stared blankly at him.

She had stopped, but Kubfu hadn't. As though the person it had been waiting for had finally arrived, it ran toward him with tears in its eyes.

The young man and the little bear soon reached each other. Kubfu sprang up from the path, and the young man extended his arms in perfect sync, catching it securely.

Watching this, Honey's mouth formed an O, shock spreading across her face.
