The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 944: TRAINING (VII)

WHEN all the smokes and rubble disappeared, the remaining four all turned to where the crystal was. Or at least, what remained of it. The crystal was now broken into large chunks and standing at the center of it all was an elf with white hair and golden-speckled blue eyes.

Luo Yan smiled at them and made a 'v' sign. "We won." contemporary romance

And as if agreeing with him, a screen appeared above their heads with the words - [Team Red won! Congratulations!].

The surrounding then glitches and started to change until it went back to the original all white floor. At the same time that the floor went back to normal, Bai Ze's avatar also reappeared.

"Did we win?" – was the first thing he asked.

"Of course, we won! Did you every doubt Master's plan?" Eclipse said with his chin proudly raised.

"Okay, but what just happened?" Luo Jin asked with a bewildered expression.

"Ho ho, is brother gnome curious about Master's genius plan?"

"No, never mind. I don't want to know," Luo Jin quickly said after hearing Eclipse's tone. Because it felt like he would be more annoyed if he let the fox brat explain it.

"I do want to know," Su Yuqi intervened. "But I think it would be better if Luo Yan did the explaining."

"Hey, pink sister, are you looking down on Eclipse?" the boy said as if offended. "Eclipse is very great in explaining things, you know?"

Su Yuqi was about to say that she preferred an explanation without too much theatrics, that's why it's better if Luo Yan did it, but before she could do so, Shen Ji Yun appeared. The other walked up to Luo Yan and said;

"Congratulations, Yan Yan."

Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun. He observed the expression of the other. He was obviously happy for their win, but he could also see that he felt frustrated that they lost. Luo Yan was glad that that was the case. If Shen Ji Yun didn't show any frustration for losing, he might get really annoyed. Because that meant that the other wasn't taking this training match seriously.

He smiled and responded, "Thank you."

After a while, Rowan also arrived to where they were. The injury he sustained from fighting Shen Ji Yun had now healed. The same could be said for Dusk. It's mainly because the match they played was only training. So, they were back to their initial state after the match ended. It's the reason why Bai Ze could come back quickly after 'dying'.

"Was Yan Yan the one who broke the crystal?" Shen Ji Yun asked.

"Why did Brother Ji Yun think so?" Luo Yan asked.

"Because Dusk didn't mention you when I asked about the situation of the base camp earlier. And since you're also not in your team's base camp helping to defend your team's crystal, I figured that you must be hiding somewhere and waiting for the opportunity to destroy our team's crystal while Bai Ze and Eclipse distract Dusk."

Luo Yan smiled because of how accurate Shen Ji Yun was. What the other said was indeed correct. He traveled from their base camp to the opponent team's using [Shadow Walk]. Then, he took his time and waited in the shadow world until the right moment presented itself.

And that moment happened when Bai Ze released that smoke bomb. It was the perfect timing. Everyone was focused on what was happening that no one expected for him to jump out of the shadows and strike the crystal. It took a lot of his MP to destroy it. After all, it's not something that could not be destroyed easily by just one hit.

He was just lucky that shadows could still be seen in the forest despite having such tall and lush trees. If not, then this match could have gone in a different way.

"That's correct. How very perceptive of you," he said in response to what Shen Ji Yun had said.

Dusk clicked his tongue at that moment. "If you had already suspected something like that to happen, you should have mentioned it. Then, I would have been more prepared."

"I'm with the dragon on this one," Su Yuqi agreed.

Because of what Shen Ji Yun said, she just remembered that Luo Yan had that shadow thing skill. The other could have done what he did because of that. It was their lack of judgment that led to this mishap. No, it's not that they lacked judgment. Shen Ji Yun had foreseen it, the other just totally forgot to mention it to them.

"It really wouldn't hurt to mention that you have thought of a possible outcome, you know?" she added.

"Damn right," Luo Jin seconded, his eyes looking at Shen Ji Yun was like saying, 'and you call yourself our leader?'.

Shen Ji Yun blinked. "Ah, that's right. I should have done that."

His expression showed that he had really not thought of that. Which was kind of cute. It was very… Shen Ji Yun-like.

Luo Yan chuckled and then hugged the other's arm. "It's alright, Brother Ji Yun. You can just make sure that it won't happen again in the future."

Shen Ji Yun gazed down at Luo Yan. The other was blinking his huge eyes at him, making a cute and lovely expression. He knew this wasn't exactly the right time nor place, but he really wanted to bow his head and kiss the other.

He clenched his fists, trying to resist the urge to do so. But, as if he had read what he was thinking, Luo Yan smiled playfully at him before putting his chin on his shoulder and whispering;

"You want to kiss me, don't you, Brother Ji Yun?"

Shen Ji Yun quickly turned red, feeling all giddy and shy. Despite that, his urge to kiss Luo Yan became even stronger.

While the two were exchanging sugary stare with each other, the rest of their teammates were watching this scene with goosebumps all over. Well, except for Eclipse. He was very happy seeing them flirt.
