Nanako was at a complete loss for words as she was faced with Charlie’s question.
After being speechless for a moment, she suddenly blushed out of embarrassment.
This was because Charlie was right, regardless of whether it was based on emotions or reasoning. In the final analysis, her master was indeed the one who had been asking for trouble in this whole matter. Charlie was not at fault.
Nanako, who felt very ashamed of herself, could only bow respectfully in front of Charlie as she said, "Mr. Wade, I was too impulsive. Please understand. At the same time, I hope that you will not hold it against me."
Charlie nodded slightly.
He also understood Nanako’s feelings to a certain extent.
After all, everyone could be objective and fair when it was not about themselves. However, when it came to something that was obviously related to them and concerned their own interests, then it would be very difficult for them to be absolutely objective at that point.
It was just like when someone else’s child makes a mistake. You would always hope that he would get his just punishment. However, when your own child
makes a mistake, you would always hope that everyone could just forgive him and give him another chance, s
Kazuki was Nanako’s mentor. Japan and Oskia’s traditional cultures were very similar. The people from both of these countries emphasized holding utmost respects to teachers and their teachings. Therefore, Charlie could accept it and he understood the reason why Nanako was being so respectful and defensive when it came to Kazuki.
This was understandable. 5
Charlie understood what she was feeling at this time, but he would not change his opinions or decisions because of her. 4
So, he said in a flat tone, "Miss Ito, since you’re also a participant in this competition, you should have respect for this competition. You shouldn't give up on this competition or choose to forfeit halfway.
Otherwise, you’ll only be showing utter disrespect for combat and fighting.” 5
Nanako suddenly had a very determined look in her eyes. She nodded earnestly as she said, "I understand, Mr. Wade! Don't worry. I'll definitely fight well and move on to the next level! I'm looking forward to competing against your apprentice!”
Charlie waved his hand and said, "Aurora isn't my apprentice. She's just my friend, or strictly speaking, she's my friend’s daughter. I’m simply temporarily serving as her coach for these few days just to give her some help and advice."
Nanako asked in surprise, "Mr. Wade, you aren't a professional coach?"
Charlie smiled as he said, "Of course not. I am just a vagrant who has no occupation at all." 1
"Unemployed?"
Nanako had a shocked and incredulous look on her face.
