175 Teacher (1/2)

Whoa…

Scarlet expressed her amazement, her mouth opening wide and she reached out, grabbing Ash's arm in excitement.

”Big sis! You were so cool!” Scarlet called out, looking at her in admiration. ”I wonder if I can ever be like you…”

”Hehe, it was nothing,” Ash chuckled humbly, patting Scarlet on the head and advised, ”If any man is playing on your nerves, you have to kick them in the balls and assert dominance. Only then will they leave you alone.”

They continued walking towards the platform, this time without anyone staring at them.

”Ah, what if I can't fight?” Scarlet asked worriedly, acting cute. ”Will big sis teach me?”

”Huh? You can't fight? What martial arts did you train?” Ash asked confused, not expecting such a request.

To her surprise, Scarlet tilted her head and asked back, ”Martial arts? What's that?”

Cough...

Wuxing cleared his throat and explained before she sank deeper, ”Scarlet is still a beginner. I wanted to teach her some useful skills during the selection.”

”Yes, big brother is amazing,” Scarlet commented as she glanced at him, smiling brightly.

”Wait, wait. How did she get into the selection then…?” Ash questioned as they stopped before the platform stairs. ”She should be skilled in something else then, right?”

”Well, sort of. She is a good actor and can trick anyone with her cuteness. Can you see how she wrapped you around her finger with her little sister act? I'm training her to be an assassin,” Wuxing described, pulling the confused Scarlet away from Ash.

”Big bro... I didn't act at all…” Scarlet countered him, pouting cutely but she didn't pull away from Wuxing's arms, laying her head on his chest. She would never reject a hug from him.

Wuxing grinned and asked while pointing at Scarlet with his gaze, ”Can you see how good she is?”

”Whoa… I got tricked…” Ash muttered in amazement. ”I was totally bought by her act. Great! To think we have such a talented individual in the selection.”

”Yup. That was the main reason why the management allowed her to join the selection. All she needs is some basic training of self defence and learn how to kill. As long as she overcome her innocence, she will be a great mercenary,” Wuxing explained for her, patting Scarlet's head.

When she heard about killing, Scarlet wanted to raise her head and question him but Wuxing suddenly hugged her, keeping her head pressed against his chest. She wanted to complain but getting a tight hug from him was a rarity. Scarlet didn't waste such an opportunity and hugged him back silently.

”Mhmm, I think so too. I wouldn't for a second think she is one,” Ash agreed, staring at Scarlet's back. Out of nowhere, she suggested, ”How about I train her instead?”

Wuxing opened his eyes widely. ”Ash, you can't. Aren't you an instructor? You will be really busy during the selection. I don't want to burden you so much,” Wuxing rejected her kindly but she waved her hand in response.

”One private student is nothing,” Ash assured him. ”As you said, I'm an instructor. My job in the selection is to guide you all. You will be busier than me so when do you plan to find time to teach her?”

Wuxing made a complicated expression and questioned again, ”Are you sure…? Won't that be unfair? Other people will accuse us of getting preferable treatment.”

”Oh, don't worry about that. I will take that on myself. I will also inform the management about it. Rules are there to break them,” Ash persuaded him and asked her future student instead, ”Scarlet, what do you think? Do you want big sis to teach you?”

Ash looked really fired up to teach her, making Wuxing secretly excited. Everything went according to plan. If Scarlet studied under Ash, he wouldn't need to worry about her anymore. No one would touch the instructor's pupil.
