Chapter 58: Boyfriend (1/2)

”Huh?”

Marco's eyes squinted as he followed Liu Ye's gaze only to explode with happiness. ”It really is her!”

Liu Ye looked around the Academy Garden in search of the students that matched Marco's description and it just happened they saw one blond beauty walk through. The way she walked was so powerful and domineering that it only confirmed Marco's words.

”Miss Avi!”

Liu Ye couldn't stop Marco from rushing to Avi's side so he simply followed him.

[Avi - Lvl. 60]

[HP: 15600/15600]

[MP: 6000/6000]

He was surprised by her low HP compared to other benders at such a high level but now he knew it was probably boosted by high-tiered Essence Crystals. Looking at Avi's outfit, she didn't have even one.

”Who—” Avi turned to look at Marco with a frown only to widen her eyes. ”Oh, you are Marco, right? What are you doing here?”

Liu Ye wasn't surprised that Marco fell for the Lord's daughter as her features were model-worthy. Despite having a semi-pretty face, her body and hair were top-notch. Avi seemed to know her worth as she even amplified her qualities with tight hunting gear with sexy straps that wrapped around her thighs.

”Miss Avi, we came because the Lord was worried you were in danger. Thank god you are safe,” Marco explained happily while looking her straight in the eyes. He didn't dare to ogle her body out of respect.

”We?” Avi asked with her eyebrows raised and glanced at Liu Ye. ”Are you also my father's guard? Why would he think I am in danger? I'm perfectly fine. Not many can threaten me here.”

”We came because we discovered this item in the hands of the local bandits,” Liu Ye informed as he took out the Lord Dominik's Pride. ”Marco said it belonged to you so we came to investi—”

”Hahahaha!” Avi cut him off with a laugh and she snatched it from his hand. ”This is so funny!”

She immediately wore the necklace under her outfit and added, ”I sold this item to buy this outfit and now you returned it back to me. How lucky can one be?”

[Ding! You have completed the quest: Lord Dominik's Daughter.]

'No follow-up quest?' Liu Ye thought dejectedly and just as he was about to ask for more, Avi brushed them away.

”Anyway, thank you for bringing it back to me. Tell my parents that I miss them and that I enjoy my stay at the Academy. I couldn't find a better place to improve my skills,” Avi said casually while looking around as if searching for someone. ”I can't stay long talking to you so I will get going. It was nice meeting you.”

She winked at them playfully and just left, running towards the Academy Facilities.

”Sigh…” Marco took a deep breath as he watched her run away. ”She grew so much I no longer stand a chance to court her. Oh well, life is full of twists and turns. I will just go with the cutie my parents chose for me. This trip opened my eyes.”

He gazed at Liu Ye and reached out his hand for a handshake, ”It has been nice knowing you but I guess it's time to split up. I will be returning to bring the news to the Lord. If fate allows, we will meet again.”

”It was nice indeed. Take care,” Liu Ye nodded as he shook Marco's hand and watched him leave as well.

It seemed like he was back to square one by being left alone but Liu Ye didn't believe he would be led here without a chance for a follow-up quest. The game AI liked to make the players work for the quests so this had to be it.

Liu Ye gazed in the direction of Academy Facilities. Avi was looking around as if trying to avoid someone which could lead to a potential quest. All he needed was to find her again and somehow provoke the quest.

Too bad, just walking through the Academy's main road seemed hard.

”Nice outfit~”

”Hey Sir, are you looking for a training partner?”

The Academy was filled with female benders that seemed to have some weird attraction to him. He ignored them all but it turned annoying as any group of girls that he bumped to wanted to talk to him.

One turned out to be so shameless that she stuck to him like glue and walked by his side.

”Sir, do you need assistance?” the girl questioned cutely as she leaned to see his face under the hook. ”I know this place like my home so I can guide you around the Academ— Oh my, you are young and handsome too. Jackpot.”

Liu Ye noticed that he was no longer gazed at with her around, so he didn't escape from her. ”What do you mean jackpot?”
