Chapter 163 - Night Tournament.

''I can go to dormitory... I will be fine.'' Ichiro said with a defeated look.

''No, otherwise you will go training again!'' Azura said with a pouting face.

Ichiro scratched his head, ''I don't think a little bit of training would hurt...''

He was sitting in a luxurious car while Azura was sitting next to him.

They were driving towards Azura's house because Ichiro was finally dismissed from the hospital, and he didn't need to go to school for another month.

''Miss, we are here.'' The driver said.

Azura opened the door and exited.

Ichiro followed behind her and used his wooden cane to stand up.

His body is still frail, but he planned to use one Rare Healing Potion tonight to remove the rest of his injuries.

Azura grabbed his hand and started walking towards the door.

The door was instantly opened by a handsome butler.

Ichiro finally understood the influence Azura currently has.

She is living like a princess!

Once they entered the spacious mansion. A beautiful middle-aged woman came towards them.

''Ichiro,'' Alena said with a smile.

Ichiro nodded, ''Mother-in-law.''

Azura blushed but was pleased.

Alena chuckled, ''Your room is ready on the second floor.''

Ichiro nodded and went towards the second floor with Azura.

His room was next to Azura's.

Once the room was opened, Ichiro could see a spacious room with one big bed, a wardrobe, the desk next to the window, and an expensive-looking chandelier in the ceiling. There was also massive TV with a black-colored console in front of it.

Ichiro sweatdropped, ''V-Very luxurious.''

Azura giggled, ''They did go overboard.''

Ichiro nodded and entered the room.

Azura closed the door behind her and kept hopping after Ichiro.

Ichiro sat down on his bed, and he felt like he sat down in marshmallows.

Azura smiled and looked at the black-colored console with a thoughtful expression.

''Have you heard of Night Tournament?'' Azura suddenly asked.

Ichiro shook his head, ''No, what is that?''

''It is basically the World Championship tournament to decide the strongest Night's End player.''

''Hmm...'' Ichiro hummed and lied down on the bed.

''Everyone already knows that you are the strongest, but I have heard certain rumors...'' Azura sat next to Ichiro and said.

''What kind of rumors?'' Ichiro asked curiously.

''Apparently, Night's End's developers created a special event ingame, and they invited you to be the final boss.''

''Haha, really?'' Ichiro laughed out of amusement.

Azura lied down on the bed, ''Yup, it sounds cool, and a lot of people are hyped about it.''

''Even you?'' Ichiro asked curiously.

''I think it will be fun... Everyone gathers there to have fun, and every dispute will end for one goal, to defeat the final boss.'' Azura said with an excited smile.

''Can't they create some kind of final boss, like Darcelion?'' Ichiro asked curiously.

''They could... But they want something special, and they decided to invite you.'' Azura turned her head towards Ichiro and sweetly smiled.

''You want me to accept it?'' Ichiro asked with a smile.

Azura bit her lip and nodded, ''I-I think it would be fun... Y-You don't need to accept— I am not trying to force you or anything.''

Ichiro chuckled, ''Hmm, for one condition, I will accept.''

''What is it?'' Azura asked with a hopeful gaze.

''Give me a kiss,'' Ichiro said with a smile.

Azura blushed, ''U-Umm...''

Ichiro put his head closer and touched Azura's nose with his own.

Azura had a smile on her face even though she tried to desperately hide it.

''Y-You bully...'' She said quietly— she leaned her head closer towards his and did a peck on his lips.

Ichiro leaned closer towards her and locked his lips with hers.

''Mmm!'' Azura was surprised but didn't push him back.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the passionate kiss.

*Creak*

But then, the door of the room was opened, and Alena came with a tray, which had a plate filled with food and a glass of water.

But then she saw the situation Azura and Ichiro was in.

''U-Umm, excuse me,'' Alena said with a blushing face.

Azura separated her lips and ran out of the room with blushing cheeks.

Ichiro wryly smiled, 'Calm Nature... My ass, it never fucking works.'

Alena put the tray on the desk and left the room with blushing cheeks.

Ichiro used his wooden cane and sat on the chair while the desk was in front of him.

He started eating the food.

But then he remembered one thing.

He opened the Interface and grabbed Healing Potion.

He poured it on the water, which soon turned colors.

It became greenish, and it looked even tastier now.

He ate the food while taking a few gulps of the drink, and his body became significantly better.

His body didn't look skinny anymore— instead, his body had become normal, but his face was still pale.

He was itching to start training since he hasn't trained for over a month, and it is a long time for him to not be training, but he plans to relax for few more days, and start training once again.

But then, he saw the reflection in the window next to him and saw the black-colored console.

He turned his head and looked at the TV.

''Hmm... I guess I have nothing else to do... But how can I accept the game developers' invitation?'' Ichiro pondered for one moment.

He grabbed his phone from his phone and looked at his emails and messages, but nothing. He only saw hundreds of messages from his family members and friends.

He closed the phone and put it back in his pocket.

He stood up effortlessly— he didn't even need the wooden cane anymore.

He walked towards the TV and sat down on the ground. He booted up the console and decided to enter the world of Night's End once again.

Soon, he saw the familiar screen of Night's End.

He was about to press [Enter The Journey]

But then an unexpected message popped up on the screen.

[Accept/Reject]

After the massive text, a simple Accept or Reject message popped up on the screen.

Ichiro smiled and used his controller.

[Accept!]
