FIXING THE MESS

Akira felt like her shoulders were lighter after chopping off her hair with her katana. She had always liked her short hair, but she never thought much about it once it grew. She just felt it was easier to let it grow normally. 

After all, almost all girls liked having long hair. Even Hu Lei had extremely long hair, almost unnaturally long. Of course, she did not leave it loose and often held it up in a simple bun or a ponytail. 

So, Akira thought it was only a matter of time before she got used to having long hair. AT some point, she even stopped thinking about it and decided to go with the flow. 

However, the moment Hu Lei handed her the sword, she did not know what came over her. Her reaction was almost instinctive. She did not have a moment to think it through before she chopped off the hair to a length that exposed her neck.
