Chapter 753 - ROOKIE CARNIVAL CHAMPION
Chapter 753 – ROOKIE CARNIVAL CHAMPION
INSIDE the shadow world, Luo Yan watched as his brother's back hit the black crystal. And true to the description that the Duke of Hearts gave, Luo Jin's avatar started to turn into light particles the moment it did. And then the lights on the coliseum suddenly returned, as if signaling the end of the match.
Luo Yan didn't stay inside the shadow world and jumped in front of Luo Jin.
The other only smiled helplessly when he saw him. "You really got me there."
"Well, I just bet on Ah Jin's quick response and agile thinking," Luo Yan said. "I believed that you would do the best thing that you could at that moment."
"Then, I'm glad I didn't let you down," Luo Jin said with a bit of a sarcastic tone. Then he smiled, without any scruple, just a full-blown smile showing how happy he was for his brother. "Congratulations, Yan."
Luo Yan also smiled back brightly. "Thank you. And Ah Jin, you really did amazing."
"I know."
That's the last thing Luo Jin said before his avatar completely turned into light particles. Seeing this, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile again.
What he said to his brother earlier was true, he really did bet that the other would react in the way that he expected him to in that kind of situation.
He knew about Luo Jin's skill – [Polarity]. Before he started doing hidden tasks with Shen Ji Yun, he and Luo Jin usually grinded and did task together. One of the tasks they did before gave a skill book of [Polarity]. Since it's a skill for Gunslingers, Luo Jin ended up having it.
But because of that, Luo Yan knew how that skill worked. From how after activating the skill one needed to fire to consecutive bullets to the two targets that would act as 'poles'. But they shouldn't be just any targets. One should be a moving target and the other was a stationary one. The moving target should be shot as close as possible while the stationary one should be from afar.
That's why Luo Yan created the ideal situation for Luo Jin to use this skill. And his brother didn't disappoint him.
Actually, if the other just took a second to think more, he believed that Luo Jin would discover that he was planning such a thing. His actions were practically shouting 'use [Polarity]!'.
He was lucky that Luo Jin was probably too surprised that time. And probably also thinking that he should finish the match as soon as possible before the light returned to the coliseum. Because of those reasons, Luo Yan was able to push him to the direction he wanted. Thus, this result.
He glanced at his severed arm. But just like he said, Luo Jin did amazing. No one could take that from him. If someone would even try to discredit all the amazing things he did in this tournament just because he lost in the end, then that person could only be someone who's bitter and jealous.
Luo Yan's thoughts were interrupted because of the sudden loud cheer.
He raised his head and looked around. He could see some of the audience standing while some were applauding and the rest were shouting his name.
"Noctis!!! Congratulations!!!"
"You did great, Noctis!!!"
"You're amazing!!!"
"Noctis!!!"
Luo Yan smiled at the audience and waved. Then when she looked at the royal box of team Yunyue, he smiled even brighter and waved much more enthusiastically.
In his mind, he immediately heard Eclipse's voice.
[Mashter, congrats! Eclipse is so happy that you won! Eclipse was so worried about Mashter that his heart almost jumped out many times during your fight with young master. Oh, and young master also did a good job by the way. Everyone here says so. Also, everyone congratulates Mashter as well!
[They're very happy that you won. Especially Captain! Eclipse saw him with a really, really, really big smile on his face. You should have seen it, Mashter. Eclipse almost thought he was hallucinating. But then, Eclipse immediately understood that Captain was just happy that Mashter won. Captain is really such a supportive husband.]
That last part, Eclipse said in a dreamy tone. Luo Yan just felt the corner of his lips twitching. Because of the animated way the little fox narrated all that, it was easy for him to imagine Shen Ji Yun's expression. A really big smile, huh? He would have loved to see that.
[Why should he be my husband? Can't he be my wife?] – he said in response.
There was a slight pause before Eclipse said, [Ahm, Mashter, Eclipse doesn't want to burst your bubble but… ahm, your overly abundant beauty is just, ah, Eclipse mean that Captain is just a perfect husband material. Don't you think so as well, Mashter?]
Luo Yan raised one of his brows. [So, Eclipse meant that because I'm too beautiful, I'm not fit to be called a 'husband'? That's stereotyping, you know?]
[Then, then, Mashter can also be the husband. Both you and Captain are husband and husband!] – Eclipse quickly said, probably thinking that Luo Yan was scolding him.
He just chuckled. [Husband and husband. I kind of like the sound of that.] He seemed to hear the little fox' sigh, as if relieved that he wasn't angry. [I think the duke will come down now. I'll see you later. And please, tell everyone I say thank you.]
[Okay, Mashter!]
Just as Luo Yan thought, the duke flew down and circled around the rink. "That was a good match, no? This lord believe that no one here could actually say that the two finalists didn't do their best, right?"
The crowd said a resounding 'yes' as an answer.
"This lord was truly quite entertained. My guess of who would win changed quite a number of times. When I thought that this one would win, the other would do something to subvert my expectation. But at the end, there could only be one winner."
The duke finally flew towards him, floating around him.. "And now, here he is. The champion of this year's Rookie Carnival – Noctis!"
