Yeah, I think she had that one insecure moment where she got semi-jealous of the other apprentices then Hwabu gave her a single independent moment. But she still doesn’t feel like she’s even close to being his equal like the other two apprentices do.
I don’t really mind the student/teacher thing because that’s just how it has to be; Hwabu is using some isekai cheats so it’s expected for her to be studying under him for a long time. It just feels like the story forgot to develop her and then her feelings are a plot point of whatever novel this is based on or something.
I usually don’t mind the student teacher thing, but she’s still his student. Imagine your husband being your superior at work She’s still actively learning from him because she’s not as proficient as the two other students, and that might cause tension.
Once she can preform on her own and doesn’t need to learn from hwabu that’s fine, but she’s still basically one of his kid students
They should’ve developed the chemistry earlier if this girl was supposed to end up with him, they are just forcing it in now. I don’t even like her that much, she isn’t a bad character, I just don’t like her with hwabu.
They’ve been student and teacher for so long it’s kind of weird.
