Chapter 152 - 145

Immediately the surroundings were covered by tye converging mist which was blocking the vision of each of the present Charmers. They weren't aware that the place they were currently bin was still the same but in their own little world, it wasn't.

The steaming hot air came from the volcanic ash of the nearing to explode volcano. They were at the pit of the active volcano as they could feel the scorching heat emitted by the cracks on its foot. 

A splash of the lava spurted out and almost shot the Charmer next to the silver haired young man, fortunately, the said Charmer wasn't weak as he deflected it using his water charm. 

It was an advantage for a water Charmer like him but when he was about to be at ease, he found out that the lava didn't back down from his water attack as it tried to overcome it. Chun without hesitation, grabbed the former as they distanced themselves away from the explosion.

Dried up black mass of ashes and acidic goo shot out which they instinctively avoided. No matter how one look at it, it was a suspicious black substance.

After saving the life of the Charmer, the silver haired young man didn't bother her attention to the other as she silently counted the present Charmers with her, they were around a hundred of them and currently, they were about the exact number.

Or was it?

There was a missing one.

Chun narrowed her eyes as she started to speculate. 

Series of strides and steps nearing her position snapped the silver haired young man back from her pondering as a long curly haired lady with golden strawberry hair came into her line of sight. Behind her were familiar faces.

Wei Xi was the first one to spot the silver haired young man like a sore thumb, sticking out from the sudden eruption of the acidic lava. His silver white hair, flawless fair skin and languid aura were the ones that caught the sight of the heiress. Although that they were not match made in heaven (Pair) still Wei Xi wouldn't want to give up on her. 

There was another method in order to be a pair with the silver haired young man, it was to improve herself in her charm ability precision and control, and somehow achieve a certain level of advancement which could enable them as a Pair.

In fact, Chun wasn't interested in the way the spoiled heiress was thinking while gazing at her with lovestruck eyes. 

"Chun! You're here. Thanks the fate!" Leika hoorayed as she was a simple-minded person and loyal to people that she treated as friends. 

She would be truly saddened if the silver haired young man and the eighth prince wasn't present, luckily Feng Cui was the first one she saw when she arrived at this unfamiliar dangerous environment and now she was with Chun. 

This was a first for her to have teammates and friends that were not in her small village and they were nobles too. The innocent young lady had no idea that she would be the one to take the role as a glue to stick their team together while the eighth prince would be the gum that would persist to follow the silver haired young man.

Meanwhile, Chun who was ignorant to all of her so-called teammates' train of thoughts wouldn't see this unexpected event that would always end her with them in the upcoming scenes.

The second miss calmly looked at Chun and nodded to the other as they tacitly understood each other. This kind of atmosphere somehow created an illusion that they were destined partners due to their mutual understanding with each other.

Suddenly the sticky as a glue heiress, barged between them as she attached her 'octopus-like' hands on the arm of the silver haired young man while she stared at the calm second miss with vigilance. Even though the second miss was her favorite sister and they benefitted each other because of their aligned belief, they wouldn't let her 'destined pair' to be taken away by the other.

Amper could only shrug in return as she continued with her silence.

"Can I call you Older Brother Chun?" She coquettishly stated while she blinked with her doe hazelnut eyes. 

Those sweet as honey eyes pleadingly looked at the other which made Chun massage her forehead in trouble while she nodded in reluctance.

The spoiled heiress was unseeing what she wanted to unsee so she didn't bother to pay attention at the sighing silver haired young man as she brightly hugged Chun's arm.

If this lady wasn't cute, Chun had already thrown her and brushed off her sleeves but alright, she just needed to treat this as having a cute pet to raise.

The cute pet Wei Xi: ...

The servants of the heiress who was pretending to be students as well due to the order of the Duke could only look in worry and sigh with relief. They were worried that this one-sided infatuation of the young miss would lead her to pain yet at the same time, they were relieved that this certain silver haired young man who had an unknown background but had an air of nobility was understanding and lenient to their young miss.

They could only report this to the Duke for their master to be prepared for any outcome. But if the situation doesn't permit, they would their utmost to impressed this silver haired young man and create opportunities for their young miss to grasp the heart of this handsome lad.

But all of this just their wishful thinking as the fate and the world itself wouldn't allow this.

Suddenly, someone coughed near them which caught their attention. 

The silver haired young man had finally noticed a lanky young man with delicate and exquisite features on the ground, coughing blood. 

She slightly widened her eyes as she gazed at the lanky young 'man'.

Nola was still coughing with blood after she resisted the attack of the acidic lava which surprisingly was able to overcome her water offense, she perceived numerous stares on her from a certain group of Charmers.

It went minutes and the other party kept on staring at her, they weren't even helping her to find a healer or somehow offer medicine for her internal injuries.

'Are they waiting for me to die here?'

Daia who snapped off from staring at the poor young lad was carried by the strange script of silently watching the suffering young man, immediately asked Ivory to heal the other after confirming with the second miss.

The silver haired young man almost slapped herself to reality when she realized that she had just stared at the fourth target of conquest without doing anything.

Instantly, Chun looked around and finally sighed with comfort when she didn't see the snobbish system. She felt that despite Xuan didn't tell her to act in her role strictly or such but she sensed that the other was making a list of her actions in order to report it to the higher-ups which she couldn't allow to be graded low and attained failure due to her moment of carelessness. 

She needed to be promoted as a third year as her instincts were telling her that this opportunity of promotion was a way for her to get back to her body, hopefully. 

Before that, she needed to be focused on her mission. Conquer/obtain favors from the five targets and reach the peak of her charm ability precision in order to participate in the said tournament and take up the championship cup, plus she needed to be a top ranker in every test. 

'Even a temporary host like her was doing her best to keep up. Sigh.'

After healing the lanky young lad, her pale features went back from rosy pink, a sign that she was now in good condition. As her internal injuries weren't that severe, Ivory who had been a step to be a divine healer with her water charm effortlessly healed the other.

Nola thanked the blank-face healer as the other hum in response and immediately went to her pose beside Daia. 

The lanky young man was also grateful to the silver haired young man who just saved her in a critical situation which she executed a perfect ninety degrees bow facing Chun while she thanked the other with sincerity and earnestness. 

Chun looked at the lady dressed in a plain black shirt and pants with combat boots which was totally a style for male as the silver haired young man confirmed that the other was disguising herself as a man due to the flat board ċhėst displayed in front of her. Chun nodded at the lank young man as she put her free hand in her pocket while she traced the heating mission card.
