Chapter 18 (1/2)

The 20th floor.

After Joice crushed the Arie Family ranker, the supervisor announced that Joice, Jin and Avren had all passed the test.

Right now, the trio were sitting in a private room in a restaurant, eating and chatting happily.

”Hahaha. That Arie Family ranker was so full of himself but he was still crushed by Joice! That was very satisfying.”

Jin said happily.

”This time we passed without even taking the test thanks to Joice. Next time will be your turn, kid.”

Avren liked teasing Jin and Joice. When they met 3 years ago, Jin was grim and stubborn. But now, he was easy going and smiled more. But only when he was with Joice and Avren.

As for Joice, she was cold and indiffernt. Although she's still cold now, it's much better than the past.

Right now, Joice had a rare smile on her face. Jin was a little dazed when he saw that smile but quickly came back to normal.

”Avren, right now who's stronger between me and Jin?”

Joice was curious. During the past 3 years, she and Jin sparred frequenly. Though Jin was a little stronger, the gap wasn't that big.

Now, that she comprehended another way to use Shinsu, which was much stronger, she wanted to know if she could beat him or at least not lose.

Jin was also curious to know the answer.

Avren replied honestly.
