In the cabin, when boarding a jet to Qadim, two trainees are listening attentively to the assistant from the city's destination.
"Due to the urgency of the situation, an official mission announcement will be made promptly upon our arrival. As a member of the AB intelligence staff, I have been tasked with informing you of the essential details in advance. This includes a plan from the head bodyguard of the VIP, who requests your cooperation in dealing with the situation. Please review the document for further information and instructions. If you have any questions or require additional clarification, feel free to reach out to me at your earliest convenience…"
As he sent the document files to Ravyn and Zamonte's ring, they promptly opened them up to read.
[...Report from the Head Bodyguard:
Liriene Nethrillia holds a strong belief in the capabilities of Airburst men and embodies the ideals of the heroes she i
Inside the tightly sealed safehouse, multiple layers of thermal lasers provided a formidable defense, complemented by a full complement of armed forces stationed in the outer rooms. As one made their way towards the center, where the residence rooms were located, the number of guards decreased significantly. In this central room, there were only Liriene, her two female followers, and a burly bodyguard named Watson. Upon their arrival, Watson ushered Ravyn and Zamonte inside, leading them to a woman dressed in a white lacy suit and sporting sunglasses, holding back her front hair like a hairpin."Hello there, Zamonte and Lavender from Airburst."Liriene greeted them, extending a warm welcome."I am Liriene Nethrillia. Although my father knew that capturing them through conventional means would be futile, he insisted on shedding more and more blood for my sake. It's a heart-wrenching situation, but I can't really blame him
Amidst the wreckage of Liriene's safehouse, the second-floor roof and ceiling had collapsed, revealing the open sky above. The incessant blaring of the alarm filled the air. Perched on the rooftop, a group of assassins wearing sand-colored robes surveyed the scene, poised with their blades, ready to strike at any moment. Ifrit, donning carmine-red robes, glanced at the arrow caught by Zamonte."If I were you, I wouldn't hold onto that for too long."He remarked. As his gaze shifted to the arrowhead, it gradually transformed into a reddish-orange hue before exploding.*Boom!*Zamonte flung an arrow a few meters away, causing its arrowhead to explode. With the resulting blast, he was forcefully pushed away from Liriene. The ceiling, filled with assassins wearing sand-colored robes, descended upon the soldiers and Liriene's bodyguards. Marid wielded a scimitar shrouded in dark green sand and slashed at
Ifrit's arrow came towards the young trainee, closing in at bullet speed. Zamonte instinctively snatched the bow out of thin air and tossed it aside. In the meantime, Marid sprinted to retrieve the emergency button concealed in Watson's pocket. However, Zamonte, equipped with Airtech, was faster. He took flight, snatched the emergency button from Watson, and unleashed a restorative Reiki aura, saving his life. Shaitan moved in to apprehend Liriene, but was forcefully repelled by a blazing fire arrow Zamonte had hurled earlier. The mysterious assassin dressed in black robes had no choice but to momentarily retreat."I told you no lady would appreciate such behavior."Zamonte's words flow naturally. Having pressed the emergency button, Zamonte awaited the ensuing action.*GUSH!!....*A sudden rush of water burst forth in no time. The safehouse was instantly flooded, with water surging in all directions
"Let me just give my father a quick call."Liriene said, stepping forward and acting confidently. She retrieved her flip phone and flipped it open, causing the room to fall into an anticipatory silence.*ring~* *ring~*...As Ifrit aimed his bow at Liriene, completely clueless of her audacity in approaching them herself, both Ravyn and Zamonte exchanged knowing glances....[...Report from the Head Bodyguard:Liriene Nethrillia holds a strong belief in the capabilities of Airburst men and embodies the ideals of the heroes she idolizes. Over the past few years, she has initiated numerous projects aimed at assisting people, accumulating significant wealth in the process. However, with the imminent threat of assassination, there is a possibility that she may act impulsively, deviating from her usual VIP profile.This particular concern is troubling to me. In spite of that, it is often during
Sensing Ravyn's distress, Zamonte reached out and gently placed his hand on her shoulder."Leave this to me. Take Liriene to safety."The weight of his responsibility was evident in his voice. Ravyn felt a tinge of concern, realizing that defeating Ifrit wouldn't be as swift as they had initially hoped. Nevertheless, ensuring the safety of the VIP remained their utmost priority. With a sense of urgency, she swiftly moved away from Zamonte and made her way to Liriene. As they came face-to-face, Ravyn lowered herself, offering her back for Liriene to climb onto, enabling them to move quickly."We need to hurry."Ravyn urged, aware that she still couldn't employ Airtech. The VIP lady couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical about Ravyn's petite frame and wondered if she would be able to carry her all the way."I can manage on my own; just show me the way."She ins
...There's just about a minute left before the herb's effects wear off. If I increase my intake of Solar Candle root any further, I won't have enough time to recover for future missions. I have to come up with a plan...As Ravyn contemplated her next move, Zamonte soared through the air towards her, propelled by the force of the explosion in the red sand area. Taking advantage of the volatile setting, he fired shots into the sand, triggering a cascade of smoke and bomb blasts that filled the air, shrouding the area in a thick haze. With a surprising move, Zamonte, his limbs enveloped in a captivating sky-blue aura, successfully tackled Shaitan, causing him to sprawl to the ground. At the same time, he delivered a powerful kick to Ifrit, who was following closely behind.*bash!**Pow!*As the immediate threat was momentarily neutralized, Zamonte swiftly shifted his attention to Lireine. His hand gentl
At a distant corner of the world...Amidst the bustling city of lights and vibrant colors, the night was ablaze with streetlights and towering buildings. This particular night, however, seemed to shine even brighter, thanks to the flickering flames engulfing the downtown area. A long row of cars was parked haphazardly on all sides of the four intersecting streets, creating a chaotic scene. In the midst of it all, Sekai worked tirelessly, ushering people away from danger and towards safety. Frustration lingered in her voice as she complained about the cause of the ensuing traffic jam.["Are you intending to harm innocent lives as well? Our mission is solely to rescue the hostages."]Sekai's voice resonated through the earpiece, reaching her partner on the other end of the line."You've already taken away those eyesores. And those who commit evil deeds must face the consequences."
"I'm sorry, Cemal, I'm feeling a bit tired today. Let's postpone our berry-picking outing to tomorrow instead."The woman behind the counter apologized, taking a step back and attempting to conceal her apparent discomfort."Let me check. Do you have a fever?"Little Zamonte asked, extending his hand to touch the back of her neck.(Stop it!)Zamonte's shout reverberated through the scene, yet it went unnoticed by the oblivious crowd. Simultaneously, the woman standing behind the counter clutched her chest, attempting to say something, but her words were drowned out by Zamonte's voice once again.(You idiot, stop it! I'm begging you!)Zamonte shouted desperately at the young Zamonte before him, but his voice remained unrecognized by everyone present. As the woman standing behind the counter gradually lost her strength, Zamonte felt a surge
Hello dear readers,I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who have read and supported my debut novel. If any part of the story has caused offense or discomfort, I sincerely apologize.After a year of attempting to launch a world-building project to lay the foundation for the forthcoming saga, I encountered a series of trial and error. Eventually, I settled on Lavender Girl.Over the course of the past two years, Lavender Girl has been an integral part of my life. I've shared moments of joy and faced challenges alongside its characters and stories. However, taking into account my current circumstances and careful consideration, I've made the decision to conclude this book.While crafting the main storyline of Lavender Girl and constantly revising it, I've identified numerous mistakes and areas for improvement. Still, I am very proud of it, even though parts of the story have deviated
A few weeks had passed...Gentle surveyed the tables and chairs that had been recently upholstered in his sandwich shop. They were all occupied by delighted customers, and a sense of pride gleamed in his eyes. Pierret, having just served water to a nearby table, approached Gentle, standing in front of the counter."Dad, there are still orders pending for two more tables."She placed the order slips on the counter and smiled as Gentle started crafting sandwiches, completely engrossed in his work. Daily life continues as usual, but now, Donkey's name has vanished. People needed time to adjust to the absence of the outlaw mafia that had a long-standing presence in Themeise. They still haven't grown accustomed to not fearing for their lives or facing harm if they happen to displease the city's powerful figures. Nevertheless, with the removal of this source of fear and dominance in the city, ambitious individuals were eager t
...It's over...Ravyn sat in mournful silence in front of the intricate white coffin. No matter how beautifully the flowers were arranged on top of the lid or how beautiful the hymn prayers of the saints were, it didn't help anyone at the event feel joyous. The passing of Jamie Lysander, the proud father of two children, a beloved husband, and the hero who sacrificed the honor of Airburst as 'Falcon,' cast a somber shadow over the gathering."I owe him my life.""That was the path he chose, and I respect his decision. I can't be angry at anyone, but I'm saddened. At least he was able to fulfill his duties. Thank you for surviving to tell his story."The girl with purple hair saluted and recounted the details of Operation Sun Dog to Falcon's wife in a comprehensive manner. Through this, Ravyn discovered that his wife was an incredibly resilient individual, a fact well-known to the woman herself. She h
At that very moment, the audience erupted in cheers as the announcer officially signaled the beginning of the battle. While the aerial platform descended to be concealed beneath the arena floor, Angus propelled himself into the air with a powerful kick. Ravyn, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed and allowed gravity to guide her descent. In her mind, the recent conversation with Idorund replayed.…"Holding a position in Airburst grants that individual the authority to participate in meetings that influence even regional laws. With the organization's power and our widespread support, it's safe to say they wield power akin to that of a city's mayor. Now, imagine the chaos if an Airburst were to employ their full might against Themeise, a city deeply entrenched in shadows. If Angus were to resort to the extreme measures he employed during his regency in Aelsala, it could spark a civil war in Themeise. It's simply not worth the troubl
There was a quiz contest for superfans, offering Airburst prizes, which Ravyn attempted to answer silently in her mind. She soon realized that there were some tidbits of knowledge, only interesting to enthusiasts, that she didn't know, and she answered incorrectly more than half the time.Meanwhile, the arena in the center of the stadium had been transformed into a booth where people could queue to try out Airteches set at the lowest firepower level on inflatable mattresses on the floor. Ravyn decided to go watch Kanji and Pierret play, cheering them on. She participated in various activities until there was only one hour left. Ravyn, resting in the reserved seat next to Pierret, decided to return to her contestant accommodation room. It was at that moment when the lights in the entire stadium went out."For those of you enjoying this night, let me hear you make some noise!" *SCREAM*...The commentator ignited the crowd'
"Uh... Zamonte doubles down! Lavender takes the victory!"The commentator, along with the audience and Cemal, fell into stunned silence at the sudden turn of events. However, a few seconds later, cheers erupted throughout the stadium."Well, it seems I've lost. But I haven't given up just yet. I'll never give up on asking for your number."Cemal swiftly retrieved his Reiki crystal and examined it for any signs of damage. Relieved to find it unharmed, he hurriedly returned it to its box."By the way, that hair clip looks surprisingly similar to mine. Don't tell me..."Ravyn also noticed the resemblance between her own hair clip and the one Cemal had....That's it. A hunch from my decade of experience with girls is telling me. You and An probably share...Cemal's excitement surged as if his heart had skipped a beat."Yo
The pervert's followers were careless because they didn't think a mere kid would dare to mess with their boss. They were about to pull out their guns to protect the boss, but when they heard the name of the Resia family, those who were good at using their power to oppress helpless people ran away pitifully with their tails between their legs.*Boink*"This precocious kid, what would you do if you got hurt? You really are..."She tapped Cemal's head with her knuckles, then composed herself before gripping the collar of his shirt."Anyway, I'm glad to see you're safe."Cemal closed his eyes, expecting something exciting, but nothing steamy happened."And what am I going to do with it?"Cemal responded. Upon opening his eyes and seeing the yellow-orange clip on the collar of his shirt, the boy felt so embarrassed that his face turned a deep
Back in the pre-dawn hours of Operation Sun Dog...Ravyn's gray aura-encased arm pierced through Undre's gut, sinking in with an unsettling squelch. Black blood gushed from the white-haired murderer's abdomen, making the purple-haired girl feel nauseated at the gruesome sight before her."I've got a story for you. There once was a good-for-nothing man. No matter what he did, nothing seemed to work out, and everyone looked down on him. One day he met a beautiful witch. She gave him a crystal of happiness. It was both bright and warm. Since that day, his world had completely changed. From a good-for-nothing man to a good-for-nothing man who is happy and wants to get better. But then one day that witch appeared again and wrenched the crystal of happiness from his grasp and crushed it to smithereens. The joy that the man had experienced was gone, forever. The good-for-nothing man became helpless and unhappy, always wondering why the witch had to
*SLASH*… *Crash!*The force of the sword's swing sent Gabrielle hurtling through the air, and she collided with the far side of the arena wall."No... It can't be true."Her voice trembled with a mix of denial and disbelief, refusing to accept what she had just heard."It is true. My father's crimes are a dark stain on history, and I cannot erase them."Mirozlav approached Gabrielle, his steps measured. The audiences who shared the same homeland were left in a state of shock by the unexpected confession."What do you want from me? Why are you telling me this now?"Gabrielle's emotions were a whirlwind of conflicting feelings. The revelation stirred up memories she would have preferred to keep buried, and a silver aura enveloped her compressed air saber as her grip tightened.*Clang!*The cl
