Chapter 246: The Most Desired Thing – 2
Over three days, Seon Woo-jin had spared no time in teaching Jin So-eun three things.
They were the art of concealment, the art of insight, and the art of hand-to-hand combat.
Having already promised to do whatever he asked, Jin So-eun learned them with great diligence.
But a thought lingered in the back of her mind.
‘Why is he teaching me this?’
The reason Seon Woo-jin had taught her the Samhwanbo—that someone with weak power must outpace their opponent to avoid being pushed back—was very easy to understand.
But…
‘Isn’t hand-to-hand combat a bit excessive for someone like me who uses the Gon technique? And stealth techniques, which are assassin skills?’
Jin So-eun found it hard to accept, yet true to her nature, she diligently learned it anyway.
But no matter how gifted she was, three days was simply too short.
It was simply impossible to achieve any meaningful results in that time with unarmed combat and stealth techniques, which weren’t her specialties.
It was only through the mind’s eye that she had achieved any measure of success, not through mere physical technique.
And at this very moment.
Jin So-eun felt it in her bones why Seon Woo-jin had taught her those things.
Boom!
