How Did It Go...

"How did it go?" Master Mara asked the moment Kent appeared outside. It had already been two days, and as she had promised, she waited for him until he came out.

"It went well," Kent responded. "Though I couldn't gain enlightenment like I hoped, I did gain something much more valuable."

"That is good then... I guess you didn't waste your chance there, as most do," she said.

"I guess so too," Kent replied. He wasn't sure if he should talk to her about his breakthrough in the garden.

The discovery that he could use his sword intent with qi for active attacks wasn't something entirely new, but perhaps the way he understood it was something many would cherish.

He observed her expression, trying to see if she was curious about his breakthrough, but he saw nothing of the sort. In the end, Kent decided to keep the matter to himself and move on.
