However, I remain impressed by the extent and profundity of Master’s knowledge.

Who would think that a kick to the calf would paralyze the kicked leg, rendering it useless?

And why does Master know all that? The answer to that question can all be explained with ‘because he is the master.’

He is my master, so it can’t be helped. It is natural that he can do it.

But both Zen and my sister were far weaker than I had imagined.

Apparently, I had unknowingly overestimated them.

That’s how hellish my days in this village were.

And if Master hadn’t picked me up, I wouldn’t have been able to beat up my sister in this village.

I’m really grateful to you, Master.

I couldn’t be happier to be able to use these hands to review your teachings.

Thinking of this and thanking Master, I walked up to my sister, who was dragging her right leg, which was probably still numb.

Then, with a look of horror on her face, she took two steps when I came one step closer and four steps back when I came two steps closer.

“Are? Are you scared, Nee-chan?”

“N-no, of course not.”

“But you’re backtracking, aren’t you?”

“Gnu…”

She almost took the bait at my provocation, but on the verge, she seemed to be able to hold back.

The way she retreats even further when I approach her and how she didn’t take my provocations is, of course, partly because she’s afraid of me. That’s probably why she’s buying herself time after deciding she was no match for me.

It must have been hard for her to admit it, but she was someone who had chosen to ambush me before.

At that moment, the sister in my mind was no longer someone I wanted to see but just one of the many people who would try to bite me in the future.

‘When you abandoned your pride, you stopped being important to me.’

“This is the only time you can act like such a wise a*s! Go die! You b*****d! You got fooled by me.”

“Martial arts skill, [Fatal Wolf Flash].”

“It’s too late to cry and apologize now… huh?”

In the first place, my sister, who had been fighting only with her senses, was too bad at acting and everything else when she suddenly started to play in a coordinated manner. Behind me, the villages were waiting to attack me with a bunch of people, vigilantly watching for an opening. I knew my sister was stalling for time by enduring my provocations to create that opening.
