Chapter 15 - Episode 14: Whispers of her past

She doesn't speak much… but her silence hides a storm the world once feared.

Scene 1 – Academy Garden, Twilight

Yooha sat under the sunlight tree—its leaves gold-tipped, glowing faintly.

She stared at her reflection in a pond.

A whisper echoed in her mind.

> "You're not meant to be loved, Shen Yooha.

You're meant to be feared."

Ghost Gordon's words.

The top martial academy that took her in… and threw her out at ten years old.

She gripped a small pendant tightly—one she never showed anyone.

> "I didn't destroy that temple.

But I couldn't save them either…"

Scene 2 – Announcement: Yooha vs. Lua Han

The academy buzzed again. Jin was watching.

Everyone still whispered about him.

But now eyes shifted—toward her.

> "She's top rank."

"They say she's cursed."

"She doesn't even flinch in matches."

Yooha walked into the arena without a word.

Scene 3 – The Match Begins

Lua Han launched fire and force blades.

Aggressive. Bold. Explosive.

Yooha stood still…

Until the last second.

Then—Silent Veil awakened.

Her blade glowed pale white—like moonlight trapped in glass.

> Sling—slash—pulse!

Three strikes.

Lua was on the ground, blade shattered, breath stolen.

The arena went silent.

Scene 4 – Jin's POV

> "She didn't even use full power…"

He watched her turn and leave without a word.

His heart thudded.

> "What are you hiding, Yooha?"

"And why do I feel like your silence… is louder than the gods?"

Scene 5 – Late Night: Yooha's Room

She stared at her pendant.

The one marked with the crest of Ghost Gordon.

Tears threatened.

But she whispered:

> "I can't afford to cry.

If I do… the rage comes back."

And under her breath—

> "Forgive me… Teacher."
