While Nanako was visiting her mentor, Kazuki, she heard the news that Victoria, the Australian athlete that Aurora had defeated in the match today, was also currently receiving treatment at the Silverwing Hospital. 5
Hiroshi had specifically gone to inquire about the matter, and he came back with results that truly shocked Nanako.
It turned out that both of Victoria’s arms had been broken by Aurora's kick during the match. Now, she had already put on a plaster cast, and she had already officially announced her withdrawal from the match t o determine third place in the competition for the day after tomorrow. Michelle, the opponent that Nanako defeated, had immediately obtained the title of third place in the competition due to Victoria’s forfeiture.
Moreover, Victoria not only withdrew from this competition, but there was a high possibility that she would be retiring completely, i
This was because the arms were very important for a combat and fighting athlete. After getting her arms broken, it would be very difficult for her to recover and return to her previous state and condition even after full recovery. 4
The impact would be lifelong for a professional athlete.
It would have most likely ruined her career.
Nanako was stunned when she heard the news.
She knew that Victoria had gotten injured and hurt both of her arms in the match. However, she did not expect Victoria to be injured that badly. 6
Victoria was also a top-level combat and fighting athlete, but Aurora had broken her arms with just a single kick. This proved that Aurora's physical strength and power were already far beyond what an ordinary person could ever aspire to. 4
Although Nanako was more capable and had greater abilities compared to Victoria, she was only more skillful and experienced as compared to Victoria. Nevertheless, her physical fitness and strength were still slightly worse compared to Victoria, who was a Caucasian. 7
Kazuki sighed as he said, "Sigh! It would have been great if Charlie was willing to accept you as his apprentice. However, based on Charlie's current attitude, it seems as though he is really unwilling to d o so. So what if you prove your strength and abilities i n front of him?! In his eyes, you are nothing more than a foreigner!"
"It doesn't matter." Nanako smiled before she said softly, "It doesn't matter if he takes me as his disciple o r not. I just do not want him to despise or look down o n me!" 2
Kazuki understood Nanako’s character and personality very well. He knew that she had a very firm and determined attitude. He also knew that it would be absolutely impossible for him to change her mind once she had already made a decision and set her mind on something.
Thus, he looked at Hiroshi who was standing next to her as he said, "Tanaka, when you see that Miss Ito is already injured in the ring, you have to raise the white flag and throw the towel to the referee in time. Do you understand?"
Hiroshi was about to nod in response when Nanako scolded him with a cold expression on her face," Tanaka-san! You should never raise the white flag or throw in the towel at any time! I can accept any form 0 f defeat in the match, but I will never be able to accept taking the initiative to admit defeat!"
