"The pupil is proposing marraige to the teacher?" Miso smirked at the man in disgust.
"Are you scared?" Khufu looked into her dark eyes, trying to provoke her. This was the best way to win the girl. n.o.body could ever defeat him, so who was this weak girl in front of him?
"Hah! I give my word then." Miso looked back in his eyes, with equal determination.
"Get your weapon, i"ll get my sword." Khufu went inside the castle to fetch his sword. As soon as he came out, he saw the girl playing with the cubs. He paused for a moment, to capture the beautiful vision in his heart. The girl was kneeling down on the gra.s.s, laughing heartily, while the cubs were pulling her hair, with their teeth.
He walked further, concealing his admiration towards the girl. "Seems like the teacher is already scared! Have you given up?"
Miso looked up and giggled at the man holding a sword. "You really want to fight with this?"
"What else then? Where is your weapon?" Khufu shrugged his shoulders in confusion.
"I don"t use weapons. My bare hands are enough for you!" Miso got up slowly, dusting away the gra.s.s from her robe, casually.
To Khufu"s surprise she looked too calm. Does she not realise that she is going to fight against a mighty king? Or does she already know that, I will not harm her.
"Ohk then! Take your stance. Stand back!" Khufu was still confused at the girl"s actions.
"Stance? What stance! I don"t have any stance. Just attack me."
"How can I hit you like this? Do something. Don"t stand like a statue." Khufu was getting furious at the girl"s casual att.i.tude.
Miso giggled again. "So scared like a mice! Trust me you are not talented and brave enough! If you wouldn"t have been his highness Horus"s son, you would not have been worthy of been chosen even in the army!"
Khufu glared at her in horror and held up his sword, making his first attack. He aimed towards her right shoulder, but Miso quickly dodged downwards with the speed of ligtening. Khufu glared at her in surprise. Though this was not his best shot as he did not intend to harm her, but the girl"s single move proved she was nicely trained.
"Rule number two! Magic and medicine can be practiced only with calm mind, not with aggression."
"So you are also trained to fight, besides medicine and magic. Who trained you?" He swung the sword again, aiming staright across her legs now.
"My brother! Cho Sangh is my brother." She quickly jumped up in the air, averting the aim of the sword again.
"No wonder! You have been trained by not just anybody, but the best." Khufu now understood why his mother chose this girl to train him.The girl was indeed unique. But he wondered why his mother chose her, but not her brother for the training. What is so special about magic and medicine that she chose the girl instead of her brother?
The girl was constantly giggling, while averting all his aims now, making him furious.
"That"s all? Rule number three! Magic and medicine is not for weak minded people. You have a weak mind, to give your best short." Miso smirked at him wickedly, making Khufu more furious.
"Weak? huh? I"ll show you who is weak!" Khufu suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pushed her closer to his body. His fingers grazing against her bare shoulder.
Miso frowned in confusion and before she realised it, Khufu had cut her one sided robe from the shoulder, with his sword.
