"Will you think twice before you take action? How about this? In exchange for Urulas, I will be your teacher. I'll teach you how to fight and everything. What do you think?"
At his plea, Veronica was astounded. "That's not necessary. He is the one who is getting punished by being my teacher, not you."
Dastan insisted, "But I'm better at fighting than he is. I'll be a better teacher."
Veronica didn't change her expression.
She said, "A bad student can be a good teacher. Since it's hard for him to learn, he knows the easy process to learn. He can teach me more efficiently. A genius can never be a good teacher.
"All the more, it's fine if he doesn't know too much. We can learn together."
Afterward, without giving him another glance, she left.
She had become aware that she was a woman and in a man's eyes, she was alluring. Thus, she decided not to be too chummy with the men who insisted on being close to her for ulterior motives.
