Ravyn returned to the hospital to get her results for a compatible hearing aid prescription and was reunited with one of the nurses who had cared for her during her stay.
"It's like witnessing a miracle! I'm so glad to see you walking again so quickly. When the blue-eyed young man brought you here, we were in desperate need of your blood type. The doctor was almost ready to give up on your case.."
The nurse paused for a moment before leaning in to share a secret with Ravyn.
"..Luckily, he had the same blood type and volunteered to donate, even though his blood sample came back weak, almost like anemia. But it turned out to be good enough.."
The emergency blood donation was not thoroughly examined, and the doctor was unaware that Jae had experienced mild ischemia from a heated fight in Solitaire Bower before arriving. Despite the potential risks involved, Jae's decision to save Ravyn's life could be c
The night of Operation 'Sun Dog' had finally arrived, and the top-talent spring buds of heroes had gathered once again on the first floor of the AB Tower, Themeise branch. Some of them, who used to train together but rarely interacted, started to talk more due to the upcoming operation. Cemal sat in one corner, holding a black, wooden-patterned box in his hands, lost in silent contemplation. The door opened once more, and the synthetic voice announced:["Lavender, Reported In"]The atmosphere around Ravyn underwent a noticeable change, one that everyone in the room could feel. The skeptics who once believed that she would be eliminated sooner or later no longer held that opinion. The only one who still showed her dissatisfaction openly was Keta, but Ravyn didn't let it bother her. Ravyn greeted Putter, acknowledging his return to a slimmer figure once again, before making her way over to Cemal."Hey, girl, what's up? Hav
The night of Operation Sun Dog passed swiftly, like a fleeting illusion. Amidst the unfolding events, Team D assumed undercover roles as wealthy patrons at Treacher Casino. An incident arose when Tim and Twar caught a dealer cheating, leading to the emergence of hostile gang members. Among them was Krittin, one of Donkey's new executives, a 'Densimorph' Lost Wisdom user capable of altering his density. Reports suggest Krittin's combat-induced muscle mass surged dramatically, estimated to be over a hundredfold. A single blow from him deformed an Airtech shield instantly, with the intent to kill a target in an eye's blink. Tim and Twar brothers teamed up for a fierce skirmish, with Mirozlav joining in and using his swordsmanship. However, Krittin's sheer physical might rendered Mirozlav's strikes nearly ineffective, making his blade vulnerable to damage. Feibur managed the encroaching thugs, preventing disruption of the clash. The confrontation between adept cultivators and a supernat
Over the weekend, the first part of Triquest's round took center stage on AB Weekly, captivating audiences worldwide. The Q-level mission unfolded before viewers' eyes through the lens of the contestants' AB rings, equipped with specialized cameras for the Airburt Selection. These innovative lenses adjusted seamlessly to offer a third-person perspective, providing an up-close and personal view of their daring missions.Out of all nine pairs sharing screen time, with the excessive violence edited out, Lavender and Zamonte's duet takes the spotlight this week. To attribute their ample screen time solely to Zamonte's popularity would be an oversimplification, though. The truth is, this pair has garnered only mild criticism. And the fact that people discovered Lavender's unwavering commitment to rescuing Miss Liriene despite the heavy censorship. The emotions behind their performance still resonate strongly with everyone. Echoing the viewers' sentiments were candid

Back in the days when Erios began training Sika for Ravyn...[*bwok!*]The hologram displayed a recorded video of Erios being struck in the face by Ravyn on the day she applied for an Airburst application."That punch was incredibly fast. And I wasn't letting my guard down either. Do you recall how you felt in that moment?"Erios paused the video and inquired."At that time, I only focused on making sure my fist connected with your left cheek."As Ravyn replied, a contemplative expression crossed Erios' face, as if he had recollected something."In Komveena, there's this ancient art that's meticulously documented in textbooks for monks and mind practitioners. It's all about unlocking specific potentials and channeling them into miraculous feats through focused concentration. They call it the Kasina training. It's quite astonishing to witn
[Angus vs TaleoPopular vote ratio before the match is 8:2]"Let the second match start!"*bang!* bang!* bang!* …As the narrator's voice ended, Angus unleashed Drive Ammo from both of his shoes, propelling himself forward with incredible speed. Meanwhile, Taleo soared into the air using his AB Jetpack and aimed his AB Rifle at Angus. Angus closed in on Taleo with determination, while Taleo manipulated his jetpack's direction through finger movements on a hologram, retreating further away. In his other hand, Taleo held a pendulum that emitted an emerald-green aura."Sleep now."Taleo's voice carried a hypnotic command as his pendulum swung gently. Members of the audience who happened to lock eyes with the pendulum suddenly fell into slumber, collapsing in their seats. Despite the eerie effect, Angus only hesitated momentarily, appearing unaffected.
"What an incredible sight! Virtual technical pens are swirling all around the arena."While the commentator and audience were taken aback by the illusion created by Vartyss, he skillfully maneuvered through the air, launching an unrelenting assault on Cemal. The onslaught of flying pens made it nearly impossible for Cemal to discern which were real and which were projections, forcing him into a constant state of evasion. Realizing he was at a disadvantage up close, Cemal created distance between them and began firing Push Ammo from his shoes.*Bang!* *Bang!*…Vartyss deftly avoided Cemal's attacks with the aid of his jetpack, retaliating by shooting Push Ammo from his palm from his right AB Glove. While Cemal had slightly superior marksmanship, allowing him to land a few hits on Vartyss, he seized a moment to fire a highly compressed air bullet at full strength.*BANG!*Bu
*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
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
