In a press conference organized to support funding for international cooperation in clean energy projects on a mass scale, the event turned out to be a success. Liriene stood confidently before the gathered audience in the press conference, representing Nethrillia House and radiating a sense of honor and gratitude. She addressed that this event was just the beginning, not only for Qadim but for the entire Aridfrost region. With conviction in her voice, she spoke of a future where every corner of their land would be illuminated.
"Today, I stand before you with a profound sense of gratitude. I am deeply indebted to all those who have supported me. I cannot express enough gratitude to the dedicated protectors and the Airburst trainee from the All Star Project. Their patience, bravery, and willingness to risk their lives to save me deserve our heartfelt appreciation. And.."
Liriene took a moment to glance at Watson, who still had a cast on his h
"Rescue. Are these what we need to assist with?"Zamonte held a stack of blueprints containing bio-engineering formulas and descriptions inked onto the pages. It was a prototype for a plague chemical and pathogen formula that had the potential to create a life-saving vaccine for hundreds of thousands of people in the area. However, his attention was abruptly diverted as a pack of dog-like creatures, towering over two meters in size with razor-sharp teeth and claws reminiscent of dinosaurs, lunged towards him.*Swoosh* *bang* *bang* *swish*…Zamonte attempted to evade and fight off the genetically modified creatures, but their sheer numbers and speed weren't something to be taken lightly.*bash!*In his blind spot, Ravyn swooped in and delivered a swift kick, sending one of the attacking 'canisaurs' flying."Stop fooling around. Bring that back to the c
Vartyss reacted swiftly, turning and grabbing a technical pen from his pocket, aiming to strike Ravyn. A bright yellow aura emitted around his mouth, but it was quickly stifled as Ravyn covered his mouth with her hand. With her other hand, she seized his wrist, pulling it back and locking it behind his back, pinning him to the ground....Such immense strength! What happened to this Lavender girl?!...Unable to move, Vartyss couldn't see the gray aura enveloping Ravyn's hand."It seems that you're now without the help of your allies. I suppose I'll have to thank you for the points in this mission."The purple-haired girl's voice carried a hint of satisfaction, having regained her footing after enduring the impact of Vartyss's plans.#######[Ranking Results for 2nd Round Airburst Selection: Tri Quests1st: Angus & Sekai <705pts>2nd: Ga
Krittin abruptly halted his search, his body radiating an intense olive-green aura as he braced himself to withstand the direct impact of the air-cannonball fired at him.*Krakrooom!!!...* "Rrghh!!.."…The explosion's force was so formidable that even Krittin, who had attempted to endure an explosion capable of wiping out every Themeise prisoner present, cried out in agony and was propelled away. The air blast veered slightly, narrowly missing one of the capsules and causing a crack to form on its surface.*BOOM!!*The front half of Krittin's body disintegrated, with his skeletal structure, muscles, and skin dissipating into thin air. However, his body gradually began to regenerate as Herick's yellow aura completely disappeared."Damn it, he's still not accustomed to the power. Stay here, Herick. I'll return shortly. I entrust you with the reinforcements from outside who a
Within the tumultuous environment of Solitaire Bower Prison, the battle raged on. Ever since Fowler's liberation, the dynamics of the conflict have shifted, resulting in a more evenly matched confrontation. The guards received continuous reinforcements, bolstering their ranks, while the members of Donkey attempted to make their escape. However, both sides proceeded with caution, aware of the consequences their actions could bring. They understood that any misstep or inadvertent release of a captive from the capsules could further complicate an already complex situation."We're almost there."Olivia declared, leading the group onward."Finally, you've arrived. I'll take care of those bothersome old dogs trailing behind you all."Herick emitted a powerful aura, poised to make a move. However, in an instant, the sound of balloons exploding filled the air.*pop!*
"Why isn't it stabilizing yet?"Ravyn's aura flickered and fluctuated around her, resembling fire dancing in the wind."I believe you should take a long break, like how normal people take breaks. It's the only thing you haven't tried yet. Who knows, it might allow you to utilize it to its fullest potential."Erios emanated a vibrant purple aura from his panda-like eyes. He spoke with a composed coach's expression, but his pleading eyes seemed to say,..."Just how much is my daily maintenance bill now? The branch head still seems angry with me. And seriously, despite all the nonstop training, there's not a trace of dark circles under her eyes. Is she a robot? In any case, please rest, please."..."But I'm still eager to continue like this."Ravyn responded, her face brimming with determination....But I can't take it anymore. I really miss
At the end of the day, Ravyn, Erios, and Zamonte made their way to the hotel, where their luggage had been delivered in advance. The hotel itself exuded luxury and elegance, towering impressively. Upon entering, they were greeted by lavish decorations that surpassed even those at AB Island. As they stepped into the glass elevator, the view of the city gradually expanded before them, shrinking in size until they reached the top floor."Choose a room that suits your comfort."Zamonte gestured down the hallway, where their luggage carts awaited a few steps away from the open elevator."Can't you be more thrifty? Going all out like this, do you think money grows on trees?"Ravyn questioned Zamonte, who responded with a light smile."This hotel is also part of the R WonderStay chain under the R Group. Please feel free to relax and make yourself at home."Ravyn and
At that moment, the spot operator directed a spotlight towards onto a startled Ravyn, instantly making her the center of attention. Ravyn responded in a hushed tone, clearly taken aback."Wait, you've got the wrong person. I'm just a fan of yours."The singer chuckled, dismissing Ravyn's response."Oh, my friend here is just being modest, haha."The young artist then stepped down from the stage, wearing a confident expression as she approached Ravyn. As though recalling a shared secret, she leaned closer to Ravyn and whispered in her ear. Yet excitement brimmed in her eyes, and her voice overflowed with energy."We used to rehearse together for the show. There's no way I could mistake someone else for you, Ravyn Nipha. I know you had your reasons for disappearing from the music industry back then. I'm truly sorry for what you've been through. You were always the most dedicated on
*SKREEEEEEECH* *SCRRRRRAAATTTCCCH*"If someone is tone-deaf, they probably won't be able to sing well either. 'Incompetent' would be the best word to describe it."Pim covered her ears with her hands, wincing at the noise pollution that resembled anything but music. Little Ravyn, who had stopped scratching the guitar that was almost as tall as her, heard Pim's response and sulkily lowered her head a bit."But even if it sounds terrible, that was a good effort."Pim gently held up Ravyn's small hand, which had several thin cuts from the guitar strings, and applied some crushed herbal powder to them."Ouch""Does it hurt?""It doesn't hurt, hahaha.."As Pim looked up, she noticed the purple-haired girl smiling broadly and happily. She realized that Ravyn was just teasing."This kid, what an ugly wid
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
