Chapter 18: Kanaki's Martial Art (1)

Martial arts?

Hearing those words, what first arose in Karens mind was consternation.

Why was he suddenly saying this?

Her confusion was replaced by unconquerable seething rage after the realization of what he meant.

In short, of all people, this man, this teacher, was proposing to teach her martial arts despite having no more credentials than a third-class magician.

Just to be clear, does this mean that you are going to teach us martial arts?

Well, since I am not a teacher specializing in the physical arts like Instructor Rivalz, I may not have much to teach you, Fina.

When that remark, which was an oblique condescension to Karen, was uttered, her patience snapped within her beyond her control for the first time in a long time.

Behind her, Fina secretly let out a breath, which Karen could no longer hear.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Karen offered an incredibly insincere smile and accepted Kanakis offer, who seemingly was oblivious to her behavior, and took the initiative to walk to the park voluntarily.

Then, the three of us shall begin with some rudimentary defensive body movements.

Teacher, since this is a good opportunity, why dont we have a real combat match?

Lady Karen.

Karen interrupted Kanaki and made the proposition once arriving at the spacious open space, which was only a park in name.

Fina, who was behind them, heaved a heavy sigh, convinced by that alone that Karen was determined to hurt Kanaki thoroughly.

Oh, Fina. Whats the matter with you sighing?

Are you ready?

Yes.

Then, lets be

As soon as Kanakis voice uttered the word gin, Karen stomped on the ground and leaped into Kanakis bosom in one swift motion.

Kanakis eyes were wide open as Karen swung her fist at him with full force, striking him squarely in the nose.

Eh?

At the very last moment, her attack was blocked.

Wow, that was close!

!

Realizing that she couldnt finish him off, Karen withdrew her fist and unleashed a kick, but this time it was easily evaded.

No way!?

Lady Karen!?

Unable to conceal her bewilderment, Karens agitation directly affected her body and she stood bolt upright. By the time Fina raised her voice, it was already too late.

Kanakis fist was on Karens tip of the nose when she realized it.

T/N:

Just to clarify, all other characters POV will be done in third-person POV and first-person POV will be done solely with Kanaki at least until the end of the second series (mainly because I have translated the third series, not going to change it). The author uses both POVs together side by side (This is actually part of the Japanese writing system, they can mix first-person POV and third-person POV together in paragraphs back and forth). But I am already positive that there will be people who find this hard to read and complain about the authors style being chapter-consuming or unbearable since they do not know this is part of the Japanese writing style in novels from my past translation. In fact, dont say web novels, even Japanese published novels do this. Anyway, only the MC, Kanaki, will be translated in first-person POV and the others are all in third-person POV just to make the reading more bearable but be aware that the essence of the novel is somewhat lost as this is not what the author intended.
