The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

[AMAZINGYOUNGMASTERJIN vs Lovelee]

Luo Jin let out a very obvious sigh of relief when he read the names on the virtual screen. He had been worrying since earlier whether he would face his brother in this round. But thankfully, that wouldn't have to happen. At least, not yet.

Seeing his brother looking all relieved by this result, Luo Yan also couldn't help but feel the same. Although, as he had said to Luo Jin earlier, he wouldn't mind if the two of them fought in this round, but it's certainly much better if they didn't. Truthfully, he would be very happy if they could face in the finals. 

Not only would it cement their place in the game as high-ranking players, it would also add to the prestige of their team. It would be like a comeback for them. Showing everyone that the 'fallen champions' had risen once again to claim their rightful throne. Then people could stop looking down on their team.

Shen Ji Yun and Su Yuqi probably didn't care much about that. But his cousin did. He heard the other complain about that a couple of times before. And frankly, he couldn't blame him. Because Luo Yan also felt the same.

He didn't like how some people thought that Yunyue was a bygone team just because of their few numbers and the fact that they hadn't participated in Arcadia Cup after they won the first championship. It's pure nonsense. He was sure that Shen Ji Yun alone could easily defeat most of those people. Like seriously, how could the team of the strongest Swordsman of the game be weak?

Luo Yan just shook his head and tried not think about that. This was not the time for that anyway. He glanced down at his brother and patted the other's shoulder.

"You got this, Ah Jin," he said. "Jiayou!"

Luo Jin grinned, clearly in a good mood. "Yeah."

Luo Yan then heard Eclipse's voice in his head. [Mashter, tell young master that we're going to cheer for him!]

He smiled and gently turned Luo Jin to the direction of their team's royal box. There, they both saw their father and Eclipse waving enthusiastically at them. Their father seemed to be even mouthing shouting something along the lines of 'good luck, Xiao Jin!'. 

It's not only the two, their brother, team mates, and Yu Jiao as well, were looking at their direction. Even though the royal box was a bit far from them, Luo Jin could still see the encouragement in their eyes. Though that probably didn't apply to Shen Ji Yun. He was sure that guy was just looking at Luo Yan.

He turned his head to the left-most side of their team's royal box, just in time to see Su Yuqi looking at his direction. He could see the other nodding at him. He wasn't sure what exactly her expression was at the moment. But he could guess that there was probably a faint smile on her lips right now. 

That was enough to make Luo Jin feel even more motivated.

He nodded at the direction of their team's royal box. And then waited for the duke to transfer him on the rink.

"Hmm… I can actually see the charm in this match-up," the Duke of Hearts said. "You paired them together because they're both cute, right?"

As if confirming the duke's guess, the crowd cheered. 

Luo Jin felt the corner of his mouth twitching. This annoying duke, was there really a need to say that? Then, he heard his brother chuckling beside him. He narrowed his eyes at the other. Luo Yan only raised one of his brows.

"Well, the two of you are indeed cute," Luo Yan said.

One was a fairy and the other was a gnome. How could they not look cute?

Before Luo Jin could respond to what his brother said, the annoying duke had spoken once again;

"The third match – AmazingYoungMasterJin vs Lovelee!"

Then Luo Jin disappeared from the pavilion and appeared on the rink.

With Luo Jin and Lovelee fighting in this round, that meant that the last fight would be between Luo Yan and Razor. Luo Yan glanced at the hooded assassin. The other was leaning against the pavilion's pillar. One could see that he had not been paying attention to the things happening around him, much less the ongoing fights. He probably didn't have any idea that Luo Yan was his next opponent. That's how uncaring he seemed.

He wondered if that was because he was confident that he would win or if he simply didn't care. Luo Yan had a feeling that it was the latter. He simply gave off that kind of vibe. 

Oh well, he would just have to make him interested in their fight once it's their turn. Luo Yan returned his gaze back to the rink where his brother was currently standing.

Luo Jin looked at his opponent. The countdown for the start of the fight still hadn't appeared. Even though he was relieved that he wouldn't have to fight Luo Yan, he couldn't help but cringe at the thought that the people picked them to fight because of their appearance. 

Now, just like his fight yesterday, it felt like watching two seven-year-olds about to duke it out. These people seriously had bad taste.

Finally, the countdown between them appeared.

[3… 2… 1!]

Luo Jin didn't waste any time and immediately took out his two guns. The other, on the other hand, flew up using her wings that looked like that of Tinkerbell. He pointed his gun at the other and started firing shots.

Just like what he had seen during her match, Loveless easily dodged all his attacks. When people saw her movements, they would immediately think that she must be as light as a feather because of her amazing control. Like her body was simply following the sway of the wind.

"Hey, hey, great young master, we should fight to our heart's content, don't you think?"

Luo Jin just frowned at the other's question.. Because he was somehow reminded by his fight yesterday with that female gnome.
