Chapter 298 - Determination sink

Soohyun found herself being out of breath as she stood in front of her training ground. Putting her best speed to the use, she had finally made it to the training ground, and Soohyun found herself being proud of herself. 

She had luckily managed to escape the scoldings of Kim Soobin. Neither was she early for her classes nor was she late.

Putting on a nonchalant expression for she was aware on how Kim Soobin found her smiles to be annoying, she walked further into her training ground.

Seeing Kim Soobin stand before her, she bowed at him and vocalised, "I am here, Teacher Kim."

"Hmm," Soobin answered.

"Teacher Kim, can I learn about transporting today? Last time, when I had asked Minhyun on it, he mentioned on how I was too weak for it. But I am sure that has changed now," Soohyun voiced out.

The ability to transport would try out very much efficient for her. Not only would she be able to escape from sticky situation, but also she can get perfect revenges on Kwangsoo with that.

"Transportation— you can learn that. However, with your current level of strength and class, one transport a week will be difficult for you to manage, remember that. 

You might even be able to do one transport every five days, considering how you're stronger than usually those from your class."

That disappointed Lee Soohyun. One transportation every five days was not much, but at least it was better than nothing. 

Among all those words Soobin had uttered, one caught her attention the most— the fact that she was stronger than many from her class. 

She had heard on Minhyun's speculation on how she might be the daughter of either one of the high ranking purebloods or Leaders. 

It was not the appropriate time to do a test about that, and Soohyun understood the reason behind that.

As she was curious to know Soobin's opinion on this as well, she, feigning ignorance and innocence, questioned, "Teacher Kim, why am I stronger than those of my class?"

Her words sent Kim Soobin into a deep thought as if he was contemplating about something before he opened his mouth to say, "Your birth father— it is related to him. If you are smart enough, you will be understanding it. If you can't, well, that is none of my business."

"Is my birth father of very much high rank?" Soohyun asked while she raised one of her eyebrows.

Soobin coughed and voiced out, "Assume that for now, but don't speak of this matter casually. You might offend someone."

Soohyun nodded.

'It seems that his intentions aren't bad; it is merely that he wakes up on the wrong side of his bed regularly.'

"Teacher Kim, one more thing before I begin this training, can't I learn about everything little bit faster? This current rate is not something I am satisfied with much," Soohyun said after thinking a while and arranging her words, so that she would not offending the man before her in any way.

That would most definitely not do any good to her!

"You can; that depends on your determination. If you have enough of that, I might extend your classes by two more hours," Soobin answered.

As a teacher, Kim Soobin liked those who were eager to learn, and seeing that Soohyun was willing to open up on such a matter to Soobin on her own, he found himself being pleased. 

He could see that Soohyun yearned to become stronger regularly, and that at times can be a good quality within people.

His words caused Soohyun's eyes to brighten up, and a wide smile formed on her face. Being weak and protected was not something Soohyun found suiting herself.

"Teacher Kim, how strong do you think I will be able to become? Do you think I will be able to surpass those who belong to a higher class compared to me?" Soohyun asked.

"Class is more like a booster. If you put in enough practice and determination, you will be able to surpass many. It all depends on your determination," Soobin voiced out.

One thing Soohyun was starting to notice that his tone when talking to Soohyun was slowly softening up, and this made her feel pleasant. If she kept this up, she might be able to win him over completely.

Flashing a small smile at Soobin, Soohyun bowed and voiced out, "I will work hard, Teacher Kim!"

"Only words would not work with me. You need to prove that," Soobin stated, "I will teach you about transportation at the end of the class. That will be draining a lot of energy out of you."

Enthusiastically, Soohyun nodded.

°°°

As Lee Soohyun fell back on her bed, she was in no mood to get up. It was as if all of her limbs were on verge of giving up; the session took a lot out of her.

This was the first time she was feeling this exhausted, and glancing at the clock, she read the time. It was almost time for lunch, and Soohyun found herself being hungry.

But she was not willing to get up from there, and closing her eyes, she decided to sleep at that moment. She will deal with her hunger later on; she desperately required sleep at this moment.

At that moment, she heard the door open, and knowing that it was Minhyun, she made no effort to open her eyes or check who it was.

"I have heard that you learned transportation today," Minhyun enunciated.

"I did, and now, I feel like dying. You should have warned me from before how strenuous it was; I would have prepared myself more," Soohyun vocalised.

"I thought you were smart enough to have an idea on that," Minhyun stated.

"It sucks how I can only use it every five days," Soohyun voiced out, "I guess I have to practice earnestly now to increase that limit."

"Don't let that determination sink. Of course, with you, your determination can not be trusted," Minhyun pointed out.
