Recently, Mira had started learning the art of remedies from Master Ellis and had heard many stories from the underworld, which made her vigilant.
The chances were low, but one wrong move could ruin her life. The previous life was the best example.
From now on, Mira didn't plan to eat at home, nor would she drink a single sip of water here.
Her time was tight, and she wanted to sever ties with the Mercer family as soon as possible, without dragging it out any longer.
Mira went to the Emberline Residences as usual, dropped off her backpack, and went to the small garden for her morning workout.
“Mira’s here! Mira’s here!”
“Quick, get in position, let’s begin.”
Because Mira practiced her forms there every day, a small community had formed. A group of men and women, young and old, would wait for her there early each morning.
When Mira started her routine, everyone would follow along. They weren’t professionals, and not all of them were practicing taekwondo; they were just exercising together for the atmosphere.
Mira enjoyed this peaceful and friendly environment, something she had longed for in her past life.
Since they all lived in the same complex, they became familiar over time and got along well. When Mira had time, she would teach them a move or two. If she couldn’t make it on a particular day due to special circumstances, she would let them know in advance.
Many of them had also attended the talent show yesterday to cheer her on. Now that Mira had won, they saw the beautiful and capable young woman as an idol. Many families even used her as an example to educate their children.
After her morning workout and breakfast, the next stop was Synergy Plaza for her martial arts class with Master Ellis.
Now, in addition to taekwondo, she had added a class on herbalism. Master Ellis came from a family of ancient martial artists and was well-versed in various practical remedies. For self-defense, these skills were often more useful than martial arts, especially now when Mira’s combat skills were still developing, as they could provide an element of surprise.
