Chapter 41 A Door Closed and a New one Opened 2
“Ren!”
Ren recognized that voice anywhere A woman with a deep throaty voice
“Isolde?” Ren stood to his feet and greeted Isolde She was sporting white slacks, long sleeve polo shi+rt, and an onyx dangling earrings
With her strong stride and tall height, she looked classy, elegant, and inti you here” Isolde beamed and looked over at Ren
“You too” Ren was surprised to actually meet Isolde for the second tiht that their next a when Leonel shot to his feet and checked Isolde froe blurred at how fast he moved, and after seconds, he stood tall and pinched his chin
“What a tall wo at Isolde “Ren, this is the first tiht as me!”
Leonel was ecstatic because he felt that he was no longer a giant He even forgot about Lira
Ren drilled his fist into Leonel’s head “Leo! Stop that It’s not polite”
Ren looked at Isolde while dragging Leonel’s head down to apologize “I’m sorry He’s just surprised to see another person who’s the sary, Isolde just placed a hand over her tilted hips and sht”
Unlike Leonel, as conscious of his height, Isolde was very proud of hers And she took everything regarding her height as a compliment
“By the way, this is Leonel, my friend,” introduced Ren
“Best friend,” Leonel cut in and stood straight before his forehead crumpled, and his eyes squinted when he stared at Isolde “Wait a roup who’s going to attempt Thunder Cave?”
Leonel had an excellent ht
“That’s right” Isolde nodded
“Oh!” Leonel’s eyes shone, and then he swept Ren with his knowing gaze while flexing his eyebrows “Ehehehe As I thought Ren, you couldn’t just stand there and watch the wiped out, could you? Did you warn theuy in secret”
Ren looked at Leonel with dead eyes Leave it to Leo to always think good of people He mused to himself
Isolde chuckled “Yes Ren did warn ot wiped out in the end”
Leonel placed a hand over Ren’s shoulder and complained “Eh? You didn’t trust my buddy here?”
“Leo, it’s a norer’s words?” said Ren
“Me, as long as it’s you,” readily replied Leonel with shi+ning eyes and a bright sht senuine smile for the first time, Isolde estruck She knew that Ren was handsoenuine smile replaced his usual smirk, he completely looked different, and he suddenly became so much more approachable
She could tell that Ren and Leonel had a very close friendshi+p at a glance And she couldn’t help but be jealous She didn’t have someone like a best friend that she could be close with
“Anyway, Leonel and I would enter COVENANT after this” Ren said, “Do you want to play with us?”
Isolde’s eyes ide “Of course,” she iht
“Eh? You will?” Leonel asked in disbelief He then shi+fted his gaze between Isolde and Ren when the two looked at hiazes
“AhI mean It’s not that I don’t want you to join usis thatdon’t you have friends you’d rather play with than a bunch of strangers you just ht now Leonel could be sht now, he was ht he was the insensitive one here
Isolde wouldn’t have agreed in the first place if she would play with her friends But since she did, it was apparent that she had no friends to play COVENANT with At least people ere close enough to her that she could call one
Isolde was one of the boys At least that was how Ren looked at her, and he wanted to hit Leonel a second tis aard
Isolde was speechless for a moment She had friends but not close friends Just people she knew enough for her to get close but not too close
Her taste was different than other girls her age And when others went bar hopping, karaoke, or shopping and hanging out, she was in the shooting range, sharpening her aim
And before she knew it, she was already nineteen years old without a single close friend enough to call her very own best friend
Isolde shook her head to get the depressing thoughts out of her system She beamed and said, “No, I don’t Most of ame At least not yet”
“I see” Leonel nodded, and his sn with his hand “Then let’s go and play”
Isolde nodded “Let’s exchange nued contact information before Isolde looked over at Ren and Leonel
“Where do the two of you live? I’ll take you home in my car”
“I’m at Zone A district 2 in Zephyrs Academy’s dorms, while Ren here lives in district 1 near Fate Academy”<sub> ReadNovelFullcoe just like me I’m in Zephyr too, but I live near District 1,” Isolde said
“We’re in the sah five Isolde and added “Fellow Zephyryans! You can tour me around campus when school starts!”
