He loves me.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

To be perfectly honest, Lilia didn't have high hopes on Khun's suggestion. She became so used to disappointment she wouldn't even care if her powers came back or not.

In fact, she expected nothing to happen.

So when the familiar purple light radiated from her palm, she felt as if the Tower was about to come crumbling down.

A rush of the power she once took for granted surged through her body as in a blink of an eye, she summoned a ring of lighthouses around them. Everyone was too enamored to speak, even Lilia, who was staring down at her glowing palm.

"This is..."

Without hesitation, she summoned a smaller lighthouse before her. From it, she pulled out a familiar white sword with a red tassel hanging from it's hilt. Her sword gifted to her from Arie Hon after they conquered the Workshop.

A childlike smile grew on her face without even realizing as she held the sword in her hand before swinging it around, longing for that familiar feeling of the weapon once again.

Khun couldn't help but smile himself upon seeing the expression on Lilia. Of all the time they spent together, he never once saw her smile like that.

"No way..." Endorsi muttered as she and everyone admired the majestic aura her shinsu held.

"So this is the power of a Ten Great Warrior... to stand in its presence sure is intimidating enough," Hansung added.

Everyone watched as Lilia stood silently amongst them before looking up with newfound determination and in her amethyst eyes.

"Come on Aguero, you said you want me to teach you lightbearing techniques, right?"

***

It was as if a heavy burden was lifted off her shoulders.

Lilia and Khun were currently standing atop their lighthouses as the former finally agreed to train him.

Khun's eyes were concentrated on the shinsu before him, a tight line on his lips. 

"There's a reason why lightbearers often take up the position of support rather than taking on a fight by themselves. Lighthouses aren't as versatile, and they can easily be killed by a skilled fisherman or any other close combatant before they could even do anything to protect themselves."

"Then are you suggesting that I should give up?"

"Of course not. I am telling you to fix the problems."

"What problems?"

"As you know, lightbearing isn't my only skill."

"Yes, you also wield that sword correct?"

"Mhm. I can also act as a fisherman when needed. And I am capable of supporting myself."

"You're saying I should take up a combatant skill?"

"You already have one."

Khun arched an eyebrow at the suggestion before the woman gestured to the ice he formed on his palm.

"... Spear bearing?"

"Yes."

"But it's the one thing I don't want to learn?"

"Well, you have to. I noticed when you battled Viole you were getting a pretty good hang of it," Lilia teased.

"Then teach me swordsmanship," the boy pouted, not liking the fact that the woman was agreeing with Hansung's suggestion.
