Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 || Date, Quest Complete And Grandpa!!!

On the dueling platform, the visitors looked at Allen with tremendous respect. The whole area was quiet as even one could hear the sound of air flying with a swish.

"He... won?"

"Yeah?"

The dumbfounded students raised their hands in the air.

"YEAH! HE WON! I GOT 1000 golds! WOHOOO!!!"

"Yeah! I Won 500 GOLDS!!!"

"YEEEEAAAAH!!!"

The cheering of students could be heard as Harry slept on the stretcher that the medical team brought and took him with them.

Allen didn't stay on the dueling platform for so long. He ignored those students and walked toward Hina.

[Ding! Affection raised by 5]

...

Allen smiled looking at Hina. His gaze was gentle as it could go. He was closer to his goal.

"S-Senior! You have won!"

She exclaimed with a bright smile on her face, gleaming with bright light. She looked truly like an angel that attracted the attention of every student present there.

"Yeah."

He put his hand on her head and gently pat her.

Ken frowned looking at this, but with a sigh, he carried his broken heart and exited the area with a gloomy expression.

[Affection Raised by 2]

"Now, what should we do about our date?"

Allen asked in a mischievous tone. Hina's cheeks redden like a tomato on hearing the word 'date'. It would be her first date with a special someone.

Somehow it made her heart go warm and her face became hot.

"Y-Y-Yees. Le-Let's meet tomorrow at 10 am!"

She said in a hurry and rush out with a smile on her face. Her bright face carried out by her redden cheeks made her look like an art.

No student present there complained since they have firsthand seen the power of Allen. And he is stronger than them, so they will just their mouth for now.

Every student left the dueling platform with a gloomy expression and heartache. Only the person who left this place cheerfully would be Allen and Hina.

As one had said, Time never stops for anyone. It flows like a river.

The one day has passed in a blink of an eye and nothing major happened.

But the news of Allen becoming Tier 3 and defeating Harry spread like wildfire. In just a day, every student in the academy knows about this like it is some fact.

At the gate of the academy where students passed glancing at the figure standing frigidly with a cheery face.

"Hey, did you wait long?"

With a cliche word, Allen walked toward Hina with a grin on his face.

"No no! I just arrived here just a bit earlier."

Hina said squirming which made her look cute.

However, Allen knew that Hina was lying as he was looking at her for one hour straight. It was still 30 minutes before their meeting time.

Hina arrived her 2 hours ago. Allen just arrived 30 minutes later and saw Hina squirming like a kitten. It was amusing so he looked at her play.

Looking at her face, checking her dress, and even practicing her script... It was hellish funny.

'At least, I got this much entertainment for skipping my hunting today.'

He thought inside his heart.

"S-So, shall we g-go!"

"Yeah."

"Ah!"

[Ding! Affection increased by 10]

Allen softly held Hina's hand which caught her off guard. Her body jolted as the warmth of Allen was transmitted to her palm.

"Sorry! I grabbed your hand without your permission."

"No... I-Its ok..."

She said and they both walked toward the town.

Time passed by as the two couples enjoyed their date.

They watched drama, eat lunches, roamed around the town, and much more.

At the time, the affection rate skyrocketed.

And finally... At the end of the date, as the sun set, a box appeared in front of Allen.

[Ding! Quest Completed]

[System Update to Version 1.5, +1 high-silver tier storage ring with 10 Mid-Silver Tier healing potions Obtained]

"What happened Senior?"

Hina asked worriedly as she saw Allen staring at the space. He had a smirk on his face.

"No, it's nothing. It's time to go home."

He said.

"Oh yes. It was so fun that I forgot the sense of time."

Hina laughed gleamingly.

Swoosh!

"Wha?"

"Ahh!"

Suddenly, a shadow appeared between them and covered them. Before they could even retaliate, they fell unconscious.

...

"Wake up, boy."

Hearing the rough voice of someone old man, Allen woke up joltly.

"Haah! What happened?"

As he opened his eyes, an old man in his eighties or nineties came into his vision. He had a dignified posture, and he looked noble. At a glance, Allen saw that he was someone powerful. More powerful than he could imagine.

"Who are you?"

Allen asked with a dark grim expression. He felt trouble coming from this man.

"I am soul reaper that has come to reap your soul."

'What the hell?'

"When did soul reaper become old? When did soul reaper appear wearing a robe?"

Allen asked without any hesitation as the surrounding wasn't that heavy. That means this man doesn't have any intention to hurt him for now.

"Haha! You seem to have some humor, child."

Allen didn't reply instead he stared at the old man with doubtful eyes.

'Who is this old man? What the hell even happened?'

He wracked his brain. But suddenly, he felt another presence coming little farther than him. It was Hina, she rubbed her eyes and stood.

Her vision fell on the old man, and her brain instantly clear up. Mixed expression formed on her face.

"Grandpa!"

She called out to the old man jolly.

'Grandpa?'

What the fuck!
