Chapter 286: Academys Ace (1/2)

”Miss Ice?!”

After hearing the name Ice, the other customers turned their heads around them. ”Oh, it's the Ace,” someone whispered as he saw her. Then it was followed by another whisper.

”Woah.”

”She's even prettier in person.”

”I heard that she's single…”

Murmurs coming from the boys and girls had immediately proliferated inside the pub upon seeing the Academy's number one trainee. The Ace of HCZ7 Academy!

Ice was currently laced in a white and gold dress. She looked so pretty in her attire. And her trademark headdress was on her silver head.

”I knew it! It's you…” said Ice when she arrived at their table.

The other customers started asking the people around them if those people were acquaintances of Miss Ace.

In front of Yman, Yana was staring at Ice with sparkling eyes as she thought of something in disbelief. 'Woah, so many beautiful people know my brother. I can't believe it!' Beside her, Rea was sighing heavily. She wondered if Crimson was popular in this city. Rea frowned when Ice suddenly sat beside Crimson. But it seemed Crimson was unbothered by it. He even greeted her.

”Uhm, hello Miss Ice, long time no see. How are you?” Yman greeted her. He couldn't believe that Miss Ice still remembered him.

”Fufu, no need to be so polite at me, you know,” Ice said and laughed lightly.

”Oh, I see, okay. Regardless, Miss Ice, you look so much better now than the last time I saw you…”

”Oh, r-really?” Said Ice bashfully as she tried to remember their last meeting. It didn't take her long enough to remember it. She made an 'aha' expression on her face before opening her mouth once again. ”Right, that time… well uh, you know, I made a huge blunder of myself that time, hahaha...” She laughed but it only made her look so cute.

The surrounding people were captivated by her laugh. And stared at her with flowers around them. This must be just everyone's imagination.

Rea stared at Yman. But noticed that he wasn't charmed by it. She sighed in relief.

Yman was surprised that Ice was not bothered by that incident in the Underground Channel. He wondered if this person was not afraid of dying.

”Well, isn't it about money?” He said with a little tease after remembering her dumb reason for sealing the demon and did not ask for help before dealing with it.

Right, this Ace of the HCZ7 Academy was just that kind of person.

Though he too was the same in about money, on his part, he would rather take measure first about his safety before going to deal with his enemies. On the contrary, this person beside him had no sense of danger, based on how he looked at her past endeavors.

It must also be because she was confident with her strength. He couldn't even measure the extent of it. As expected of someone who was deemed as number one in the Academy. Sealing the demon for three months, was already beyond what a strong magician could do. Right, Ice wasn't just strong. She was special. Yman wondered if the other Ace's from another human city were also as strong or maybe stronger than her. Although he wasn't the type of person who was bothered by it, he was curious somehow.

Their conversation was put on halt when Seven arrived with their orders on her hands. She placed the foods carefully on the table. Still, Yman was wondering why she was here. Wait, maybe Seven had twins, he doubted.
