The Return Of The God Level Assassin

”I GUESS we wouldnʼt be able to finish this task today,” Luo Yan said when they were a few steps away from the Elderʼs yurt.

Although he already expected that, he didnʼt expect that the main reason would be because of his game level.He was only at level 79 right now.He needed another seven levels to be able to enter Alryne City.He probably could grind that level this coming week.But the problem was, he wasnʼt planning to play too vigorously this week.Itʼs because of the two-day monthly exam that would be held on Thursday and Friday.

The third-year students in the high school department of Guizu Academy were required to take a mock exam every month.It was to prepare the students for the ever-dreaded College Entrance Examination.In fact, the learning environment at Guizu was pretty rigorous.The teachers were strict and had high requirements for their students.Thereʼs almost no day that the students didnʼt leave the classroom without any assignments in their hands.

Luo Yan had a particular laissez-faire attitude regarding studying.Because he had already learned all these things.Itʼs like heʼs only taking a refresher course.Of course, that didnʼt mean that he wouldnʼt study at all.Heʼs not some kind genius with an eidetic memory.He couldnʼt possibly remember all the things that he had learned more than a decade ago.But because he did already learn those things, it was much easier for him to learn them again.His learning speed would be, or course, much faster than his classmates.

Thatʼs why heʼs also not worried about the College Entrance Examination.Although those two days of examination was indeed hellish.Since he had already experienced it, there wasnʼt much pressure on his part unlike the others.After all, itʼs the exam that would dictate the future of the third-year high school students of this country.Their 12-year education was all for that one exam – to pass it and get into a good university.

But since he had already passed it once, he was not worried that he wouldnʼt be able to pass it again.So, despite being in the busiest year of high school, Luo Yan still had time to play games.

He, then, only noticed that Shen Ji Yun didnʼt reply to what he said.He turned his head to the side and looked at the otherʼs handsome side profile.Although he still looked expressionless as always, his amethysts eyes didnʼt have any focus.As if he was in a daze.But what should he be in a daze for?

Eclipse who seemed to pick up his masterʼs confused thought said, [Maybe Captain is thinking hard about how to solve the task.]

Luo Yan raised one of his brows and glanced at the little fox sitting on his shoulder.He thought this little guy would say something embarrassing again.After all, most of the words that came out of his mouth today were either praising Shen Ji Yun to an almost unbearable degree or shamelessly pairing Luo Yan up with the other.

[When did you become so sensible?] – he asked, teasing his little pet.

Eclipse immediately pouted.[Eclipse is always sensible.Eclipse is the most sensible kitsune in the world.]

Luo Yan could only chuckle.[Yes, yes, you are sensible.]

He the glanced again at Shen Ji Yun and noticed that he was still in a daze.”Brother Ji Yun?” he called, trying to catch the otherʼs attention.When Shen Ji Yun finally turned his head to him, he continued, ”Did you hear what I said just now?”

Shen Ji Yun seemed to wake up from daydreaming.Just now, his brain was filled with images of him and Luo Yan going to the amus.e.m.e.nt park.He even thought of their itinerary.They could ride the exciting rides first – like roller coaster and gyro tower, then visit some well-known attractions like the horror house - maybe if Luo Yan got scared he would hug him, eat amus.e.m.e.nt park food, and finally when the night comes, he would ask him to ride the Ferris wheel.

He read from one of the books he downloaded before that when you go to an amus.e.m.e.nt park for a date, you should put the Ferris wheel as the last destination.Because itʼs more romantic that way.Though he really couldnʼt understand why that was so.Since thereʼs no harm in trying, why not just follow it?

Maybe he should also ask Brother Zhao if they could add a firework display while he and Luo Yan were in the Ferris wheel.It would be best to appear when the Ferris wheel car they were riding on was at the very top.Thatʼs definitely more romantic, right?

His mind was full of those things when he heard Luo Yan calling him.Then he tried to recall what he said to him earlier.

Luo Yan noticed that the other seemed to not have heard what he said earlier, so he said it again.Then added with a bit of teasing in his voice, ”What were you thinking so seriously that you didnʼt even hear me?”

”Nothing,” Shen Ji Yun immediately said.How could he tell him that he was daydreaming about their possible amus.e.m.e.nt park date?”Just thinking about the task,” he added to be more authentic.

Luo Yan nodded, thatʼs also what he thought.

”Itʼs okay even if we canʼt finish the task today.We can just go to that amus.e.m.e.nt park next weekend once your level is enough to go to Alryne City,” Shen Ji Yun said, replying to his previous statement, knowing that Luo Yan was probably worried about that.

”I have an exam on Thursday and Friday.I might no be able to play too much this week,” Luo Yan said.Meaning he might still not able to reach level 86 by next weekend.”If my level is still not enough by Friday, Iʼll try to grind next Saturday.”

”Itʼs okay, you can take it slow,” Shen Ji Yun said.Although he did want to go to that amus.e.m.e.nt park and have a date with his rabbit, Luo Yanʼs education was even more important.”We could just go there anytime we want.The Gamekeeper didnʼt mention any deadline on this task, so thereʼs no rush.Besides, itʼs not like this dragon could go anywhere anyway.”

Luo Yan thought about it and nodded.”Okay.Thank you, Brother Ji Yun.Then,” he glanced down at the poor dragon whose body was covered in a huge leaf.”Is Brother Ji Yun going to take care of Dusk?”

A very unwilling expression appeared on Shen Ji Yunʼs face when he heard that.It almost made Luo Yan laugh.

Shen Ji Yun looked down at Luo Yanʼs amused smile.Heʼs probably laughing at his childish action just now.So, he coughed and returned his expression back to normal.How could he let his rabbit think that heʼs immature?

”Yes,” he said with no ups and downs in his voice but deep inside, he was still very unwilling.

He planned to just throw this dragon on his floating island and left him there.Then he stopped after realizing something.That island was his and Luo Yanʼs special place – although that fact was only known to him.How could he let this dragon roam there?What if he burnt the place?Taking back that idea, he decided to just lock the dragon at their teamʼs headquarters.

”Then shall we go to the Gatekeeperʼs house?” Luo Yan asked, thinking that thereʼs still a possible task waiting for them.

Shen Ji Yun nodded and Luo Yan led the way.
