Miss Daina reached out and grabbed the handkerchief, gritted her teeth, and scrubbed her face hard several times.
But after Kallen had slammed her face-first into the ground and walls several times, her face was already injured. Scrubbing so hard brought on a nosebleed, leaving two red streaks.
"Heh... hehe."
The sight was so comical that even Kallen could not help laughing.
Miss Daina took a deep breath. Looking at Kallen laughing at her, she did not keep getting angry. Instead, she raised her hand and tried to conjure a Healing Art Method. But because Kallen had broken her earlier Mental Assault, the Spiritual Power inside her was still in disarray. She tried several times, but even a simple Healing Art Method failed.
"Ah."
Kallen sighed, crouched down in front of her, and opened his hand, conjuring a Healing Art Method that enveloped her.
Miss Daina pouted and occasionally stole a glance at Kallen. She still had some stubbornness left, but she was also a little touched.
But very soon, with Kallen's next words, the warmth that had just risen vanished instantly:
"If you can't fight, learn to rein in your temper. No matter how well other people protect you, some things ultimately require your own ability to handle, like throwing a tantrum. Only when you have the ability and confidence to back it up does losing your temper really feel good."
"Could you stop lecturing me? I've heard enough lectures like this at home."
"That's because you never really took them in."
"I understood all those principles long ago."
"That just proves you still don't understand. True principles are always something you savor over and over, finding different flavors in them, not something you fully understand after taking one bite and swallowing it."
"How did you get so strong?"
