Home Tutor Bodyguard Blaine! (4)

"It's too inefficient."

Blaine's words cut through Cecelia like a blade.

Basically, Blaine was telling Cecelia that teaching her was a waste of time.

Given that she showed no growth despite two days, it was a logical statement.

However, it was under the assumption that Blaine had taught her anything.

But was that truly her fault? No! Blaine hadn't actually taught her anything! He had simply thrown her into the fray and expected her to 'figure it out on her own.'

That was just too unfair.

"What do you mean by that, exactly?" Cecelia pressed, trying to keep the frustration from creeping into her voice.

Blaine's cold, blank eyes studied her for a moment before flicking to the dagger in her grasp.

"You're nowhere near ready for a real fight," he stated. "Even seasoned professionals have trouble coordinating in battle. What do you think a complete newbie like you would do? You'd only bring more harm than good."
