The Return of the God Level Assassin

"Yan, no running," he scolded Luo Yan while pinching the other’s cheek.

"Sorry, I was just too excited," Luo Yan said then he grinned at Luo Jin. "Ah Jin, I ranked 10th in our mock exam."

Luo Jin snorted. "Hmp. Brag to me again when you ranked first."

Although he said that, one could still see the small proud smile on his lips. So, this was just his tsundere-ness acting.

The three started walking towards the direction of the small restaurant. As they walked, the students they passed-by all looked at them. Particularly at Yu Jiao. After all, Luo Jin’s presence was enough to attract the attention of people. If Luo Yan was added, then the attention would increase even more. And all those attentions would turn to Yu Jiao – the invisible girl who shouldn’t have been seen together with the Luo brothers. If not for Luo Jin’s reputation as a ’bully’, these students would definitely try to follow them just to know where they were going.

Luo Yan glanced at Yu Jiao from time to time as they walked. Worried that she might not be able to handle the gazes of these people. But she persisted. Although he couldn’t see the full expression on her face because of the big glasses she was wearing, he had a feeling that those sharp eyes of his were now filled with determination.

He smiled thinking of that.

When they reached the small restaurant, they sat on their usual seat. The only waiter/receptionist quickly took their orders right after.

"Ahm, I already finished making the weapons. I could give it to you later when you log into the game," Yu Jiao started.

Luo Yan was surprised when he heard that. "So fast?"

Yu Jiao blushed. "I- I was inspired. So, I finished everything in a day."

Which was true. She was truly inspired. The materials given to him by both brothers were all the best kinds. So, a lot of ideas entered her mind. Before she knew it, she had already finished forging both weapons.

"That’s great! Jiao Jiao is amazing," Luo Yan said, not forgetting to compliment Yu Jiao. "We could get it tomorrow after we register for the Rookie Carnival. Right, Ah Jin?"

"Yeah." Luo Jin tried to act cool, but inside, he was also a bit excited to see the weapon Yu Jiao made.

"Where should we meet? At Goldcrest City?" asked Yu Jiao.

"No, we could just go to your shop at Alryne City," Luo Yan said.

He still needed one level to be able to enter Alryne City. But he was confident that he would be able to pass that today. After all, tomorrow would be the start of the week-long National Day holiday. So, he could play longer later in the night.

"I’ll message you when we’re about to log in tomorrow," he added.

"Okay. Then, I’ll wait for you."

Soon, their order arrived. Luo Yan was about to start eating when he saw someone walking inside the small restaurant. And if it was even someone familiar to him. It was the teacher who acted as an invigilator when he took the academy’s entrance/transfer exam.

The man was of average height. His slim form was hidden by the windbreaker he was wearing. He looked even more petite because of that. The features of his face couldn’t be seen clearly because of the thick glasses he was wearing. But just like the first time he saw him, Luo Yan still thought that the other was a handsome man.

"Teacher Jiang!" he called.

The man who was suddenly called looked at the direction of the only three students eating inside. He quickly recognized the person who called him. He smiled and walked over.

"Student Luo," he greeted. "I saw the results of the mock exam. Congratulations, you’ve done well."

Luo Yan smiled. "Thank you, Teacher Jiang."

Teacher Jiang was hit by this sweet smile. If he ever had a son, he wished that he would be like this student. Then he almost let out a bitter smile. Having children, much less marrying, was something impossible for him. After all, he couldn’t really change his nature.

"Brother Yue," called someone who just came out of the restaurant’s kitchen.

Jiang Yue turned around and smiled when he saw a slender man whose hair was tied in a man bun. "Xing-er."

Before walking up to Yuan Xing, he smiled at the three students, particularly at Luo Yan.

"I was just about to deliver your lunch," Yuan Xing said.

"Well, I just thought of visiting you here. And I also wanted to walk out of the office and stretch my legs," Jiang Yue replied in a soft tone.

Luo Yan looked at the restaurant’s chef and the teacher who was now happily chatting with each other.

"Yan, eat," Luo Jin reminded him.

Luo Yan then started eating. But his curiosity was still not quenched. "Do you know what subject Teacher Jiang teach?" he couldn’t help but asked.

"He’s the school’s counselor," Yu Jiao answered. "I think he just transferred this school year. So, not many students know him."

A school counselor? Then he should be called a doctor rather than a teacher. "He seemed to be close to the chef."

"I heard from Brother Yuan that they’ve known each other long before Teacher Jiang transferred here," Yu Jiao answered once again. "I think he was living overseas before that."

Luo Yan nodded. "I see."

Satisfied by that, he finally put all his attention back to eating. Then a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. The first name of the two happened to make up the name of his pavilion – Yue and Xing.

What a coincidence.
