    “Again.”


    Hesperid on the floor when Seth’s voice came from above. She waved her hand. “Give me some


    time, don’t rush it.”


    Seth looked down at her and sighed. “Are you still not giving up?”


    “Of course not. I knew it was going to be tiring before I started learning thisss…” Hesper flipped around


    and sat up. “I’m not going to give up.”


    Seth was surprised when he reached out to help her up.


    “Thanks.”


    Watching her hype herself up even though she looked half dead, Seth was silent for a while before he


    said, “Your leg was injured in the past, right? It looks pretty bad.”


    “You could tell?” Hesper was surprised. “You’re so skinny. I thought you only learned kickboxing for


    self-defense but it turns out you’re quite good at this.”


    Seth cleared his throat awkwardly. “I’m very professional.”


    Remembering their previous topic, Seth spoke in a deep voice. “Your leg is still injured, so if you want


    to learn kickboxing, it might cause more friction. I don’t think you should continue.”

    “Friction,” Hesper repeated, then casually shrugged. “So what if I start limping? The injury is already


    there. I can’t deny that what you said is true, but if I can’t defend myself, I might lose more than a leg.”


    Seth didn’t ask more questions. I can only teach you simple self-defence but your body won’t be able to


    endure high-impact training. You need to know that.”


    “Yes, I understand Hesper leaned closer with twinkling eyes. “So does that mean you’re going to


    teach me?”


    “Don’t get too close.” Seth took a step back. “Yes”

    A week after the murder downtown, the police called Hesper again.


    The victim was the son of an affluent man in Antellon and was sent to jail because of bodily assault and


    sexual assault. However, he was bailed out by his family. The most recent crime hemitted was


    armed murder with a gun, but he was released after pulling some strings.


    It seemed as though the chances of him being murdered as revenge was very high. Hesper was just a


    student who just got there and wasn’t linked to the deceased, so it was probably an ident.


    It looked wless. 013 had behaved recently, so Hesper started to consider if she was overthinking.


    After hanging up, she sent a text to Roberto.


    [Roberto: Don’t worry, even though Antellon isn’t as safe as our country, the police aren’t just


    bitting around either. They’re not going to randomly attack.]


    [Hesper: Hmm, I guess I worry too much.]


    Even though the danger was still lurking around the corner, when she knew that what happened wasn’t


    rted to her, she still gave a sigh of relief.


    The man’s bloodshot eyes that red at her before he died would sometimes appear in Hesper’s


    dreams. If some unrted person lost their lives because they were trying to send a message, she


    wouldn’t be alright with that.


    The days passed and the first semester ended. Hesper familiarized herself with Fredonia and life. in


    Antellon.
