I mean my MC has past physical abuse as a young teen. Emotionally the abuse made her weaker if anything. But physically the constant injuries and broken bones manifested a latent self-healing power.

From a narrative standpoint the point of the abuse was to mark the one inflicting it as her enemy, eventually he would be driven away only to come back during the time of the story when she was an adult. The lesson she learned after killing this man was that some people truly deserve to die. Only after this man was dead did she become stronger from it.

But the abuser was able to hurt her without her teacher stepping in to help her. This would drive a wedge between her and her teacher and lead to Rhunal running away. This rift between her and her teacher will have long-running ramifications going forward.
