Chapter 1452
"Our Oskian ancestors would always think of how we can better ourselves. Even if we fight, we will
only fight with ourselves-we fight with our past and present selves!”
"The reason why we fight with our past selves is so that we can surpass our present and past
selves. We want to improve ourselves in the medical field so that we can live longer. We want to
improve our farming techniques so that we can feed more people. We want t o improve ourbat
and fighting skills so that we can make ourselves better and stronger." 7
Having said that, Charlie looked at Nanako before he asked her, "If you are no longer allowed to
participate i n any morepetitions from now on, will you give u p on upgrading yourself or even
practicingbat and fighting in the future?"
Nanako blurted out, "Of course not! Even if I can no longer participate in any morepetitions, I
will never give up onbat and fighting!”

Charlie smiled before he said, "That''s it. You lovebat and fighting for itself, and not using
combat and fighting to defeat other people. So, what does it matter whether you win or lose, then?
Even if you lose thepetition and cannot obtain any medal, is that a big deal? Is it important? As
long as you live up to your love forbat and fighting, that is more than
enough." 7
Nanako bowed slightly to him before she thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Wade. I
understand!"
Charlie said, "Work hard for tomorrow’s match, and don’t worry too much about sess or failure.
Just make sure that you show your best self." s
Nanako nodded before she replied earnestly, "Mr. Wade, you can rest assured! I will definitely go all
out!"
After she had said that, Nanako suddenly remembered that Charlie had been looking at her with a
distressed look in his eyes when she waspeting in the semi-finals. So, she asked happily, "Mr.
Wade, did I perform well in thest match?”
When Charlie heard her talking about thest match, and when he thought about the scene where
she had gotten hurt after getting repeatedly hit by the opponent in the ring, he could not help but still
feel a little distressed in his heart. 7
So, he said seriously, "I think that you performed very well in thest game. I don''t quite understand
why you allowed the opponent to attack you repeatedly, though? In truth, your strength is much
higherpared to that of the opponent. If you focused on fighting and attacking from the very
beginning, it is very likely that you would not have gotten injured. However, you kept giving the
opponent opportunities t o attack you. Why was that so?"
Nanako replied shyly, "Actually... the main reason was because I wanted to beat the opponent with
just one move. Therefore, I allowed the opponent to attack me i n the early stage of the match, just
so I could find the opponent''s ws."
Charlie could not help but ask in surprise, "Well, it is already good enough for you to win the match.
So, why did you have to use just one move to defeat the opponent?" 6
In Charlie''s opinion, Nanako’s one move to defeat the opponent was indeed very different from
Aurora''s one move to defeat the opponent.
This was because Aurora''s overall physical andprehensive strength had already increased
greatly, and she unquestionably had the ability to defeat the enemy with just one move. In fact, it
would not be a big problem for her to defeat the enemy with just one move, and it could even be
ssified as an easy feat. 6
However, although Nanako’s strength was much strongerpared to her opponent, Michelle, she
was definitely not strong enough to defeat her opponent with one single move. So, this was
tantamount to creating a very difficult task for herself.
If she had not insisted on taking the hardest path, she would not have gotten hit by her opponent so
many times during the match.
Nanako felt even more embarrassed at this time, and she said seriously, "I... I mainly... I mainly did
it because I hoped that Mr. Wade would be able to look a
t me... with admiration, then..."
Charlie could not help but feel stunned when he heard this. 4
Was it all because of him?
This girl was too silly, right? 5
In order to gain his admiration, she had actually stood in the ring and allowed her opponent to
continue attacking and hitting her? What if the other party had identally or severely injured her?!
As he thought about this, Charlie could not help but ask, "Just because you wanted me to admire
and respect you, you actually put yourself in such a dangerous situation. Do you think that it was
worth i t?"
"It was worth it!" Nanako replied resolutely and sincerely, "At a certain point, when I saw the look in
M r. Wade''s eyes when I was in the ring, I don''t know if I was mistaken, but when I saw the look in
your eyes, at that moment, I felt that everything was worth it..."
