The Return of the God Level Assassin

1115  A LITTLE CHAT

AFTER a bit of cuddling, Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun teleported to the latter's island and continued to cuddle. Shen Ji Yun was leaning against the big tree while hugging Luo Yan in front of him.

"How was the exam?" Shen Ji Yun asked.

"I think I did alright," Luo Yan said, leaning back on Shen Ji Yun's shoulder. "My result would probably be enough for me to enroll at T University."

Shen Ji Yun didn't hear any arrogance in Luo Yan's voice. Instead, what he heard was certainty. Which showed just how confident he was in passing, and that too with a high score.

"I can't wait for August to come, then I can spend more time with you," he said. "In reality, I mean."

"I doubt we could spend that much time together at the beginning. I still have to go to military training, remember?" Luo Yan said with a chuckle.

All freshmen were required to go to two to four weeks of military training before the new semester began. It was usually done a month before the start of the new semester. In this case, it would be in August.

So, Luo Yan had to go to B City then. Of course, this was under the assumption that he would have a high enough score to be accepted at T University. Just like what he said to Shen Ji Yun earlier, he was pretty confident. Unless some unfortunate circumstance happened and he somehow made a mistake that he was unable to notice when double-checking his exam papers.

The possibility of that happening was pretty low, though. So, he wasn't that worried.

"Right, the military training," Shen Ji Yun said with a grim expression. He almost forgot that Luo Yan had to undergo that. "If someone gives you a hard time, tell me."

He knew that some of the military personnel in charge of training could be real power trippers. They would force freshmen to do things against their will just to assert their dominance.

If those people tried to do something to Luo Yan... Shen Ji Yun's expression became even darker. He would definitely not let them go.

Luo Yan, of course, understood what Shen Ji Yun was thinking. After all, he had already experienced it once. But still, having Shen Ji Yun said all that for his sake made his heart tingle for all the right reasons.

"Are you going to be my knight, then?" he asked in an amused tone.

"Well, if you will permit me, I'm willing to be your knight for the rest of my life," Shen Ji Yun said, holding Luo Yan's hand and playing with his fingers. "Although there might come a day when my armor might not be so shining anymore, I still hope you will let me stay by your side until then."

Luo Yan smiled and then intertwined their fingers together. "You will always be shining in my eyes. Besides Brother Ji Yun..." He looked up at the other before continuing, "How many times have you indirectly propose to me like this?"

Shen Ji Yun shrugged his shoulders and, in a rare moment, joked back, "I already lost count since I'm probably doing it almost every other day."

Luo Yan laughed out loud.

When his laugh subsided, Shen Ji Yun continued in a much more serious tone, "But seriously, Yan Yan, if anyone during military training is making you uncomfortable, tell me. You can even tell it to Bai Ze. Just don't try to handle it on your own. Okay?"

"Yes, my knight," Luo Yan said with a smile. "But that's still two months from now. We should focus more on the upcoming events. Like the finals of Arcadia Cup. It's already June. When will the official schedule be released?"

"From what I heard, it will be posted tomorrow," Shen Ji Yun answered. "Although the tournament blocks would most likely be shown on the opening ceremony."

"Do you think the schedule will be different from the past Arcadia Cups?"

From the things Luo Yan had searched before online, the finals of Arcadia Cup were a continuous five-day event. The first day would be when the 16 teams would fight, the second day would be the quarter-finals, the third day would be the semi-finals, the fourth day would be the finals, and the last day would be a celebration of some sort.

But considering how a lot of things had changed in this year's Arcadia Cup, they might also change that schedule.

"I think it will be mostly the same," Shen Ji Yun said, giving a different opinion. "Since this final tournament will not only be broadcasted domestically but also streamed abroad, it's better to have a five day straight schedule in order to retain people's attention, and also to keep everyone's excitement at peak." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luo Yan nodded. Shen Ji Yun certainly had a point. If there's a break in between, it could diminish the excitement of the tournament's viewers. It would be especially true for the people watching from other countries. Since, unlike the people here, they were not familiar with the players fighting in the tournament. They wouldn't feel the need to continue watching the tournament if they had to wait for, let's say, a week to watch the next fight.

"Ah, I can't wait for the final tournament! It's finally time for team Yunyue to reclaim the throne as the best team in Arcadia," he said in an overly dramatic way.

Shen Ji Yun let out a soft chuckle. "Bai Ze will definitely agree with you on that front."

"What, does Brother Ji Yun think that we're not the best team?" Luo Yan asked, acting like he was scandalized. "You're our captain! You should take more pride in your team."

"Yes, yes, we are the best," Shen Ji Yun could only say. "By the way, Yan Yan, when is your graduation?"

Luo Yan was kind of surprised by the sudden change in topic. But then he remembered that he hadn't yet told Shen Ji Yun about his graduation. Now that the college entrance examination was over, it was now the time for that.
