Capítulo 84: Back to School

"Sun-seng-nim, you're back!" Ayumi exclaimed with excitement as soon as she spotted me entering the school gates, her eyes lit up with joy. 

She sprinted toward me, her chest bouncing with each energetic step, like two watermelons playfully juggling to the rhythm of her run. 

"I was only away for a short while," I said with a chuckle, amused by her enthusiastic greeting. Her reaction made it evident she'd really missed me. Considering I hadn't texted her at all for days, she might've even thought I'd forgotten about her. 

I was so focused on learning new fighting and other skills that I had nearly forgotten about my mission, which was something I couldn't afford to fail. As for the Whisperer, I had hit a dead end, so I decided to set it aside for now. I had more pressing matters to deal with.

"Sun-seng-nim, have you grown taller and fit?" she inquired, looking me up and down.
