n- inside the Boss room-

n

" So, are we ready to talk now, Ray?

"

nElsa was watching Ray with a smile on her face. There was no nervousness, indicating that she might be expecting this type of outcome.

n

" Well, since you already know, there's no need to keep this farce anymore. But tell me, how did you know that it was me?

"

nRay took out his mask and came closer to Elsa, making them feel each other's breath. Of course, for a pure girl like Elsa, this close contact with a man, made her blush. Especially when the man in from of her was such a handsome one like Ray.

nShe tried to move her focus from Ray's face and murmured; however, Ray didn't let the chance go, and he held Elsa's cheeks with his hands.

n

" Look at me, Elsa. Don't you know it's not polite to talk without looking at the person?

"

nRay's action made the poor girl became more flustered. Smoke almost came from her head, but she was eventually able to finish her explanation.

n' So she could detect me by the dragon scent on my body, huh? What a convenient ability.

"

nHe let go of Elsa's cheek but still kept the distance between them.

n

" Say, Elsa. Do you want to take a look at my dragon?

"

n

" Really?

"

nElsa heard Ray's words, and her eyes shined that she forgot that the distance between them was only a meager centimeter.

nThe two locked their eyes at each other, and the time felt like it was slowing down for them.

nIt was unknown what had been into her, but Elsa felt that she really liked Ray's face.

nHowever, this moment didn't last long. The boss monster woke up and interrupted the two from their lovey-Dovey moment.

n*Groaarr*

n

" You dare to overstep your authority, mortals!!

"

nIt was a minotaur-type boss, and without even seeing his information, Ray could conclude that it is at least a high commander-level boss.

n*Sigh* Why must he came at such a perfect moment. Ray and Elsa, who got their momentum ruined, quickly separated from each other with Elsa's face blushed madly.

n

" How about a trade, I will show you my dragon, and you will give me a kiss here.

"

nRay pointed at his cheek and waited for Elsa's reaction. It was too soon if he expected a deep kiss with Elsa, so constant progress was what he aimed for.

nElsa hesitated for a while before nodding, which she then covered her face in embarrassment, afraid to look in Ray's direction.

nRay now was really excited; Elsa agreed to his request might be because of the mood before, but it could also state that Elsa did have a thing for him.

nHe didn't want to waste any more time and summon Xiansheng in his battle mode.

nFrom behind Ray, a big portal appeared, and a Majestic Chinese dragon appeared from it.

n*Swoosh*

n

" Finally, it is my turn. When the heaven moves, the rest of the world will follow. Feel my wrath, Geo Meteor x10!

"

nBOOM~~!!!!! x10

nIt seems Xiansheng still holds some grudges from when Ray asked him to watch over him, and Kyouko cuddled during the night. This petty Ex-Deity summoned ten giant meteors and ended the boss monster in one hit without even giving him a chance to retaliate.

nDuring their leveling time in the dungeon system, Ray has realized that even though Xiansheng couldn't level up, the power he unlocked was proportional to Ray's level.

nWith his current level of 35, Xiansheng battle mode has the strength of a peak King level spirit beast.

nAll the scenes before have left Elsa fell down on her knees dumbfounded. She had expected that Ray's dragon will be strong, but this... It was not even in the context of strong anymore. Just this dragon alone could win them the whole Karasuno prefecture youth Daoist Championship.

nShe looked with daze at Ray and Xiansheng, imagining the situation where the two carried her to win the championship and finally realized her long-lost desire.

n' If it was with him, I might be able to fulfill my wish. Father, Mother, please wait for me.'

nThe hesitation in her eyes was no more. Now she was fully determined to recruit Ray into her team, and a single kiss will be a low price to pay if she could get Ray.

nElsa came to behind Ray and hugged him from behind.

n

" Ray, how about reconsidering my offer one more time. With the two of us, the Championship will surely be in our hands.

"

nRay, who was hugged by Elsa, could feel the girl trembled. For her to do things like this, Ray started to get curious about his backstory. It was such a shame that he already had chosen Jean's camp. Thus it wouldn't be possible for him to accept Elsa's offer.

n

" I'm sorry, Elsa. I'm not interested in that kind of championship. But I promise you, I wouldn't be taking part in the championship as a participant.

"

nRay couldn't bear to ruthlessly gave her a rejection, so he chose to cover it in a white lie. Furthermore, it was not a lie that Ray wouldn't join in the battle for the championship. As he would only be the coach for the girl's team.

nElsa heard Ray's word and look a bit sullen. However, after hearing that Ray wouldn't participate in the championship and be her enemies, her mood got somewhat better. She gave ray a peck on his cheek as their agreement before and release her hug from Ray.

n

" Then, I couldn't ask any more from you.

"

nShe smiled at Ray, but her smile seems a bit sad, making Ray feel more guilty.

n

" Don't be sad. How about we check the reward for this ruin? If it was suitable, I would give it to you.

"

nElsa wanted to reject Ray's offer initially, as it would be improper for her to take the reward when she didn't do anything.

nHowever, after looking at Ray's warm eyes, she chose to keep silent and followed Ray, only to note this grace on her heart.

n DING!!! Elsa's affection 5
