It must be said that Qin Yiyi's martial arts talent wasn't all that impressive. Her comprehension skills were undeniable - she could remember a routine in one go, but she just couldn't apply it flexibly. It was a point of frustration not only for her teachers but for her as well. That's why she practiced so diligently every day, without fail, hoping that it would eventually become second nature. Fortunately, her quick reactions compensated for her shortcomings to some extent, and on top of that, she had learned to use many auxiliary weapons, making her a not-so-easy target for others.
Because of this, Meng Shichen agreed to let Qin Yiyi participate in the triennial competition at Saint Leonard. At any rate, he would always be by her side, and now that his darling was capable of self-defense, it was fine to let her have a little fun.
