Wasp formally welcomed me to the World of Martial Arts after realizing I had reached the Second Stage, becoming a Martial Master.
"Welcome to Martial Mastery, young lady. What you're seeing now is my Heart Essence, part of the Consciousness that one can develop and cultivate."
"...!" I looked in disbelief. "I had no idea such power existed...! Heart Essence?!"
"Yes, welcome to our world, young lady... the world of Intent," he said with a proud smile. "Well done! Truly... well done!"
I felt strange.
As if this entire time, I had been living inside a shell.
And now, I was finally breaking out of that shell.
And stepping into the true realm of those whom I had always fought foolishly.
