Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 917

By the time Kevin turned 13, he still wasn't formally apprenticed to a mentor. Every time he tried, something went wrong. Either he fell ill, or the mentor he found had bad luck.

In the end, Ernest gave up.

*Just keep learning what you can," he said. "Whatever you manage to learn is enough."

Violet listened to Kevin's story with mixed emotions. Was this guy some kind of bad luck magnet? His life was one misfortune after another, and it seemed like he even brought bad luck to his mentors.

She couldn't help but wonder-would that affect her too?

Based on his past experiences, it always seemed like something would go wrong before he could formally apprentice. Now that he had finally managed to find a mentor and things were going smoothly, maybe it was a sign that his luck had finally turned. Since he managed to apprentice without issues, perhaps it meant his bad streak had come to an end and everything would start going well.

Kevin had officially met his senior apprentices. Seeing his sincere and respectful attitude, none of them made things difficult for him.
