9 Odd Sigh (1/2)
Very soon just like Commander Bai, the rest of the soldiers began to develop a liking towards the fierce little girl.
What started off as mere indifference turned to clear admiration and interest whenever Rin would delightfully surprise them with her skills. What's more was she was such a cute little bun that even grown trained men like themselves couldn't ignore!
Little Rin continued to train alongside the Commander and sometimes even spar between General Guo. Although Rin lost the majority of fights, that didn't prevent her from earnestly trying and meaningfully improving through her mistakes.
As Rin's mother would always say - it does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Once she lost, she'd immediately retry once more and fix her stance from her previous fight. Of course one couldn't rely on strength alone to fight, one typically needed brains as well.
A successful strategy is what Rin turned towards - as she reasonably knew her strength wasn't enough to fight against grown men who were far more superior in size and strength.
One strategy was tiring out her opponent while she conserved her strength. Using angering words that could possibly distract an opponent would work.
Although shameless, it was survival. Any methods were suitable when one's life was on the line.
When he is exhausted and confused, you attack with energy and purpose.
One day as the men were heading out for hunting, the young girl appeared in front of the burly men. Her small body overshadowed by the men's towering figures.
”Please allow Rin to hunt alongside your men,” Rin bowed down towards the middle-aged General Guo.
”Girl, I naturally understand you're quite skilled in martial arts but…” General Guo's cold eyes narrowed down on the gifted girl's small crushable sized body.
”Hunting is completely different. Besides I'm sure you don't know how to properly use a bow and arrow correct?”
Looking up into the General's dark eyes, Rin narrows them dangerously low as if challenging the man. She puffed up her round cheeks in defiance and with a slight pout huffed.
