Chapter 1348: Invitation (4)
Kim Yuri had been diligently training since last summer vacation after becoming Jukho’s disciple through Hwang Ji-ho’s introduction.
At first, it was probably just because the head of the Ho clan had recommended her and Jukho accepted a disciple. But now, Jukho cared deeply for Kim Yuri.
Kim Yuri was personable, had the courage not to be intimidated simply because the other was a Ho clan member, and was both diligent and talented.
Because of that, Jukho treated her sincerely, not just out of obligation, and Kim Yuri responded in kind, growing steadily.
As a result, Kim Yuri learned not to fear the power that the water gods carelessly assigned to her but to control and utilize it.
‘In Jeju Island, I didn’t need to conserve energy, and I had helpers like Muji and Jecheon Daeseong nearby. But this time, I have to fight alone against people. It’ll be harder.’
Considering Kim Yuri’s kind nature, sparring against good people would be more intimidating than facing an enemy army rushing from the sea.
But Kim Yuri summoned her courage and came to this place.
Unlike the courage that Nabiryeong tried to use, there was no gap in the feeling Kim Yuri held now.
“That’s pretty good. It would’ve been better if you made the sword yourself.”
“Thank you for the compliment! I can make bamboo swords, but I can’t reach the power to make a lightsaber. Next time, I’ll train harder and gift my disciple better things.”
Jukho smiled like a child at Hwang Ji-ho’s praise.
