The Return of the God Level Assassin

YUNYUE?  Why did the name sound a bit familiar?  Where did he hear it?  No, rather, where did he read it?  That's what Luo Yan first thought when he heard the name of the team.

"You already know Ji Yun, of course, there's me and you already know my name.  So, only this girl is left," Bai Ze said reffering to the girl with bubblegum pink hair.  "Come on, introduce yourself to our new members."

The girl glanced at Luo Yan and Luo Jin, then said very simply, "Su Yuqi."

"Hey, Yuqi, could you be more enthusiastic with your introduction?  These two are our most awaited teammates, you know?" Bai Ze admonished.

Su Yuqi looked at him indifferently.  "What, do you want me to dance and produce some special effects while I'm at it so I could show my 'enthusiasm'?  Sorry, but no thanks."

"Tch.  You're really not cute at all," Bai Ze retorted, narrowing his eyes at Su Yuqi.

"Hah, whoever want to be cute in your eyes?" she said with obvious disgust in her eyes.

"You—Ah, forget it!  Arguing with you would just give me aneurysm," Bai Ze said, scratching the back of his head in annoyance.  Then turned to the two brothers.  "Don't look at her looking like an innocent child, she's actually just an old hag with attitude problems."

Su Yuqi glanced sharply at Bai Ze and didn't hesitate to kick the back of his knee.  Causing Bai Ze to stumble forward.  If he didn't immediately regain his balance, he would definitely fall face first on the floor.

Bai Ze glared back at the pink haired girl.  "Su Yuqi!"

Su Yuqi only raised her brow at him.

"Stop it, you two," Shen Ji Yun intervened, then turned to Bai Ze.  "Don't always pick a fight with Yuqi."

"Hah?  How is this my fault?" Bai Ze said, even pointing at himself.  "Ji Yun, why do you always take that woman's side?  As the captain, you shouldn't be bias!  I knew it.  It's because you belong to the same type, right?  Both of you have only one expression each, after all."

Luo Jin on the side couldn't help but laugh.  "You're wrong, Brother Ze.  Because this guy has no expression at all," he said, pointing at Shen Ji Yun.

"Xiao Jin, you're actually right," Bai Ze said as if just realizing that.

Shen Ji Yun decisively ignored the two.

Luo Yan looked at this interaction with interest.  Su Yuqi was probably the same age as Shen Ji Yun and Bai Ze.  Looking at the way they interacted with each other, one could easily tell that they had a good relationship.  And it seemed like his younger brother would fit in easily with them.  This was the kind of team Luo Yan wanted.  He could already see him and Luo Jin thriving here.

He turned to Su Yuqi and smiled.  "It's nice to meet you, Sister Yuqi."

Su Yuqi also looked at him.  Well, being called 'sister' by this good-looking kid actually wasn't that bad.  "Um."

Seeing the simple exchange of words between the two and that sweet smile on the rabbit's face, Shen Ji Yun felt uncomfortable again.

So he just stepped between the two and said very naturally, "Since you two already agreed to be part of Yunyue, then I'll send the team contract to both of you.  All you need to do is to input your game name and that's it.  You'll be officially part of Yunyue." He easily sent the contract to Luo Yan since both of them were already friends.  Then he looked at Luo Jin.  "What's your game name?"

Luo Jin seemed to suddenly be frozen.  He gazed away and muttered something.  "…masterjin."

"I'm sorry, I didn't get that," Shen Ji Yun said.

Luo Jin gritted his teeth.  Why the heck did he wrote that stupid game name?  "It's AmazingYoungMasterJin!"

The three – Shen Ji Yun, Bai Ze, and Su Yuqi – all stared at him as if they weren't sure if he was really telling the truth or just joking.  But when they saw his red face, obviously feeling ashamed, another roar of laughter reverberated throughout the large hall.

----------

At dinner that night, Luo Yan told his father and older brother about meeting Bai Ze in the game.

"Oh Ah Ze is also playing that game?" Luo Wei Tian said with interest.  "It's good that you met him.  He could help the both of you if you encountered any troubles."

"That kid may look unreliable but he'll come through during the most crucial moments," Luo Ren added.

Luo Jin didn't say anything.  He was still sulking because of the embarrassing hit he suffered due to his game name.  That 'unreliable' cousin of theirs laughed until it seemed like he couldn't breathe anymore.  That girl who looked always disinterested chuckled.  Even that expressionless Shen Ji Yun produced a sound that was almost similar to a laugh.

How embarrassing!  Maybe he should look for a way to change his game name?  surely there's a way for him to do that.  Right?

"By the way, Xiao Yan, the Headmaster of Guizu Academy contacted me.  You can take their admission exam on Saturday next weekend," Luo Wei Tian said, talking about the school which Luo Jin went to and also the one Luo Yan planned to go to.  "Is that okay?  If you still have topics you need to review with your tutors, I could ask the Headmaster to move the date."

It actually wouldn't be a problem if Luo Yan didn't take the admission exam.  He could just take a simple exam that would test his academic level, so the teachers would know which class they would put him.  But Luo Yan insisted that he wanted to take the admission exam for third years that planned to transfer to the school.  Seeing how determined he was, Luo Wei Tian relented in the end.  But he couldn't help but still worry.

"Next Saturday is fine, Dad.  No need to move it," Luo Yan said.  "I'll do my best to take a good score."

"I'm sure Yan Yan will do great," Luo Ren said with confidence.

"I'll pinch your cheeks until swollen if you dare get a bad result," Luo Jin threatened.

"Ah Jin doesn't have to worry, I'll definitely do great," Luo Yan assured them.

Seeing the confidence on his second son's face, Luo Wei Tian's worry ebbed a little.  He smiled.  "Then if Xiao Yan take a good score, Dad will buy you anything you want."

Luo Yan grinned.  "That's a promise then."
