Facing Marven’s question, Nanako was speechless.
First, staring at Marven speechless, then she blushed and was ashamed.
In terms of emotion and reason, what Marven said was right, the whole thing, in the final analysis, was her master begging to be hammered, and Marven was not wrong.
The ashamed Nanako can only bow to Marven respectfully: “Mr. Marven, I am impulsive. Please forgive me. At the same time, please don’t be insightful with me.”
Marven nodded lightly.
To a certain extent, he also understands Nanako.
After all, everyone can be objective and fair when it’s not about themselves, but once they have personal interests, it is difficult to be absolutely objective.
It’s like when someone else’s child makes a mistake, I always hope that he can learn enough lessons, but when my child makes a mistake, I always hope that everyone can forgive him and give him another chance.
Yamamoto Kazuki is the mentor of Nanako. The traditional culture of Japan and China is separated by a strip of water. The people of both countries pay attention to respect for teachers. Therefore, Nanako’s respect and maintenance of Yamamoto Kazuki are also acceptable and understandable.
But this is only understandable.
Marven can understand her feelings, but she will never change any opinions or decisions because of her.
Therefore, he said in a flat tone: “Miss Ito, since he is also a participant in this competition, we must respect this competition. Don’t pass the competition or withdraw halfway. Otherwise, it will be disrespect for martial arts.”
Nanako said desperately: “Mr. Marven, your strength has made me truly aware of what real martial arts is. Compared with yours, the martial arts skills of mine are only at the level of beginners, even beginners. They are far from as good as they are even more shameless to continue participating in the competition in front of your Excellency…”
Marven shook his head: “Martial arts does not necessarily have to compete with others. It is not only a sport, but also a culture and spirit. Isn’t it true that people with poor strength are not qualified to learn martial arts? Because your admission level is much lower than mine, can you give up this game with peace of mind?”
Marven paused slightly, then said in a more serious tone, word by word: “If this is the case, then I can only say that you don’t love martial arts at all. What you love is nothing more than a ranking. When you think you are ranked high, you love martial arts; when you think you rank very low, you betrayed martial arts! After all, you are not a loyal martial artist at all!”
Nanako blurted out with a hasty expression: “No, it’s not like that! I love martial arts! I am also a loyal warrior! I’m just…I’m just…”
Marven asked sharply: “What are you just?!”
Nanako was so nervous by his question, and immediately lowered her head in ashamed manner, gave up and continued to defend herself, and whispered: “Mr. Marven, you are right…I was wrong… …I shouldn’t give up the game at this time! I shouldn’t betray martial arts at this time!”
Marven said: “Have a good match, I also hope that Aoxue can meet you in the final.”
Nanako’s eyes suddenly became extremely determined, and she nodded earnestly and said: “I know Mr. Marven! Don’t worry, I will definitely fight to the final next! Discuss with your master!”
Marven waved his hand: “Aoxue is not my apprentice, she is my friend, or in a strict sense, she is my friend’s daughter. I am just temporarily serving as her instructor these few days to give her some advice.”
Nanako asked in surprise: “Mr. Marven, aren’t you a professional coach?”
Marven smiled and said, “Of course not, I’m just an unemployed vagrant without any occupation.”
“unemployed?”
Nanako’s face was filled with shock and incredibility.
