Ever since that day, little Jennie would go to Kan's place to learn martial arts with the man.
Among the students, she was the youngest as she was only six years old when she started learning.
However, Kan didn't skimp her training and let her practice as hard as the others. After all, she only came here once every two days.
"Move your body! Don't be lazy!" Kan roared when he saw Jennie drop the wooden sword.
The little girl immediately exerted more strength in her small arms and swung the sword again.
Little Jennie gritted her teeth as she felt her arm breaking.
It was very painful, yet at the same time, she knew that it was the same practice as the others. She didn't want to be weaker than them.
On her side, a boy slightly older than her already slumped on the floor.
He looked towards Jennie with bewilderment. He could not understand why this girl could hold on longer than him.
"Alright, the training today is over," Kan announced when it was near noon.
Little Jennie persevered and stayed for a bit longer. She wanted to get stronger even more.
In the end, Kan had to separate her from the sword and let the boy, Pat, clean up the hall.
He lifted the little girl and shook his head lightly.
"Why are you training so heavily, little girl? You should take things slow, or your body won't be able to hold on."
Little Jennie looked towards her teacher and pouted. "I want to get stronger faster to protect my mother. She was crying again last night, and I can't do anything to help her."
Inside her mind, she only knew this way to help her mother.
The world was too big for a little girl like her and all she knew was she wanted to get stronger. Her mother was living in agony because of several matters, but she couldn't help at all.
This made her want to get stronger and beat up those who bullied her mother.
Kan sighed. Life in the village was never easy, and he knew that those who were poor would feel things even harder.
He patted the girl's head.
"Your progress is fast among the other students. Don't force yourself too much. I'll teach you a special martial art that can make you stronger for a short time limit, but this martial art is hard, so you will have to work hard."
Little Jennie's eyes shone. "I will surely work hard!"
"Good, now rest. Your little body won't be able to hold on if you continue to train so hard."
"Yes!"
Little Jennie moved to clean up the hall along with Pat before departing back home.
Pat looked towards the girl's back for a few seconds. "Teacher, why is she so fast in progressing?"
"You are just too lazy, Pat. Tomorrow, you're sparring with her again."
Pat groaned. "I don't want to spar with her again. She's too strong for me."
Kan poked Pat's forehead. "You're saying that because you've been defeated by her lately, right? Now move your feet and clean up the hall. You have to clean up the hall every time you lose against that eight-year-old girl."
Hearing the instruction, Pat glared at his teacher. He felt that this old man was just making up an excuse to have him help clean up this place.
Inside his heart, he complained loudly, yet he still moved his feet to clean up the place as fast as he could.
Little Jennie walked a thousand meters to reach her village.
She quickly made her way towards her home and saw her beautiful mother playing the flute.
The beautiful sound made her fall into a trance, yet she could feel that the note was sad. Her small feet moved quickly to her mother and hugged her.
"Mother, are you being bullied again?" Little Jennie asked worriedly.
Shin Yeon stopped playing the flute and peered down.
She smiled sweetly. "There's nothing wrong JenJen. I have just received news from my brother about our family's condition."
Her finger caressed her daughter's hair as she swallowed her feelings down.
She was feeling rather distressed lately because of the news that she got from their family.
The Emperor questioned their income once again, and some of her uncles lost their lives.
Even though they have done business honestly, the Emperor somehow found a way to frame them.
When her thoughts reached this point, tears welled up in her eyes. The current Emperor always wanted to monitor their activities.
Even the slightest movement that they didn't report made him suspicious. Some of her uncles complained only to lose their life because of this suspicious Emperor.
"Mother, are you alright?" Little Jennie asked again.
She was deeply worried when she saw tears in her mother's eyes. Her little fist clenched tightly.
What could she do?
She didn't want her mother to cry anymore.
"I'm fine," Shin Yeon wiped the tears and looked towards her daughter up and down.
She frowned when she realized how dirty she was.
"What are you doing lately to make your clothes always so dirty? Come on, Mother will scrub your back."
"Jennie is not a kid anymore," Little Jennie pouted. "Jennie can take a bath by herself."
Shin Yeon smiled. "Alright, Mother will let you take a bath by yourself. If you're still dirty, Mother will be the one to clean you, okay?"
"Yes!"
Little Jennie ran to the bathroom and cleaned herself up. She wanted to be more helpful to her mother.
She was no longer a child, so she would surely make her mother proud of her and help her mother.
After two days, little Jennie returned to the training hall with the excuse of playing.
Her mother was not suspicious because Shin Yeon believed her daughter would be alright.
In addition, she was also busy with work and didn't have the time to monitor her daughter all the time.
"You're early today, little lass," Kan smiled when he saw Jennie.
The progress of this little girl was the fastest among the students that he knew.
"I want to get stronger, Teacher Kan. Please teach me that martial art," little Jennie asked.
"Come over here, I'll teach you."
"Yes."
This was a strange martial art, but little Jennie learned it by heart.
This was the martial arts that would allow her to be stronger than a lot of experts for a short amount of time.
However, the strength has a price to pay, which she would experience when she used this martial art too much.
