Chapter 1140
(Unedited)
…
The next day…
Xin Ja as usual went to school and once again meets with his timid friend Tung Jo at the academy\'s gate. The two talked for a while, as Tung Jo suddenly asked Xin Ja for some help.
"Brother Ja… I saw what you did yesterday and you are amazing…" Tung Jo said showing a thumbs up.
"Hehe… Thank you…" Xin Ja awkwardly replied.
"I… I have some problems in creating a 2nd level rune array… Can you check this for me? I… I have noticed that you have some proficiency in runes… So… if it\'s okay…" Tung Jo said with a hint of embarrassment and reluctance.
He feels a bit guilty for this as he is just testing his conjecture if Xin Ja truly knows about runes. This is because he had seen him use runes before. He has his own doubts but Xin Ja is his only friend in the academy, so he could only ask him…
But who would have known that his bet ended up true? Of course, Xin Ja knows runes and is an expert in arrays. With the guidance of his Unique Vision and the books given to him by Master Wang, how could he not learn more about rune arrays?
After showing his notes, he saw Xin Ja carefully look at the patterns.
Xin Ja suddenly frowns and then takes out a piece of weird-looking writing equipment and then began scribbling on the note. While doing so, he made sure that the rune is not perfect while scribbling so that it would not activate a runic spell.
"There… it\'s done…" Xin Ja said as he handed the notes to Tung Jo.
Tung Jo showed a confused expression as he did not expect that Xin Ja would finish the array that quickly. The array on his note is not some simple array that is easily completed. It is a complicated array that he has been working at for a week now. But up until now, he is still unable to finish it as it has so many errors.
He asked Xin Ja for help and did not expect that it would be done easily. But of course, Tung Jo is a bit skeptical of what Xin Ja has written.
As he carefully checks the array, a frown appears on his face and then confusion as he could not understand the pattern that was written.
"This… Are you sure?..." Tung Jo asked with a bit of doubt.
"Try it… But you should control the size of the rune in this part… this is the crucial part of this array." Xin Ja said while encircling a rune.
Tung Jo nodded his head but there is still a hint of doubt in his eyes. The reason for this is because he could not understand what Xin Ja has written and his simple array has suddenly turned complex.
The two parted ways and Xin Ja immediately enters his class.
Upon entering his eyes immediately landed on the seat behind him. There he saw the simple-looking bespectacled young woman reading a thick potion book.
He feels a tinge of excitement and shyness in his heart as he approaches while looking at her at the edge of his eyes. What Xin Ja did not know is that a teasing expression is already in the face of Qing Joming who has already noticed his action.
"Hey! Little Ja! Good Morning!" he said in an exaggerated manner while leaning behind him acting like if he did not do so, the person behind would not be able to hear his words.
He immediately noticed the young girl suddenly stiffen.
With a chuckle, he stood up and patted Xin Ja\'s shoulder while leading him to his seat.
"You… What are you doing?" Xin Ja said feeling a bit aggrieved.
"What? I\'m just greeting you…"
Xin Ja could not help but show a wry smile and quickly sits down and takes out his book. He pretended not to notice or know Qing Joming.
With a chuckle, the latter did not mind and just laughed it off.
But later in the class, the awkwardness disappears. Xin Ja and Rou Chenchen began to greet each other throwing quick glances at each other and simple smiles.
When the potion class started, Qing Joming grabbed this chance to make the two closer as he grabbed Rou Chenchen and lead her to sit beside Xin Ja. The class feels weird about his action, but then they did not bother with him as they knew of his playful nature.
The two shy people communicated and smile while talking in low voices. Xin Ja feel happy at this time as he could not help but feel warm in his heart for being near his crush.
The same feeling is also in Rou Chenchen\'s heart as she could not help but also feel elated at being close to the guy she likes.
That afternoon, Xin Ja decided to walk with Rou Chenchen to her home.
When Xin Ja is walking to his home, a figure suddenly appears from the bushes.
Xin Ja ignored the guy and walk past him.
"Come on… You should thank me, right?" Qing Joming said with a teasing smile.
What surprised Xin Ja at this time is the presence of Tung Jo who is timidly standing behind Qing Joming.
"Eh? Brother Jo… What are you doing here? Are you with this rascal?" Xin Ja said in surprise.
"Haha… He\'s been waiting for you outside. I noticed him and told him that you are busy with your love life… Hahaha…"
"What… you…" Xin Ja feel exasperated but did not rebuke his friend.
Deep in his heart, he could only be grateful.
"This… umm… Brother Ja… Thank you. I wanted to thank you for arranging the pattern… It actually succeeded. I now understand what you mean. Because of this, I can now advance to the runemaster apprentice 2nd level… Thank you." Tung Jo said as he bowed.
"Hey… No bowing with friends." Qing Joming said as he patted Tung Jo\'s back.
"Yeah, that\'s right… We are now friends, so you don\'t have to show that..." Xin Ja seconded.
The three then walk happily while talking to each other. They went to a restaurant as Tung Jo wanted to treat the two for being his friend.
But instead, Qing Joming stopped him from paying.
"You are our friend now… Let me treat this time." Qing Joming said as he patted his chest.
After the dinner, Qing Joming called for the water to pay their bill. But who would have expected that when he touches his waist, he did not feel anything? He then began to feel his body and found that his money pouch is gone.
"This… How… Where is my money…" he muttered while trying to trace back his footsteps in his mind.
Then suddenly he remembers that while following Xin Ja and Rou Chenchen in secret, he accidentally bumps into a guy.
The guy got angry and even scolded him for not watching his steps. Upon thinking up to this, he looks at Tung Jo and then muttered.
"That guy… that guy stole my pouch…"
Tung Jo also remembers that time and then his expression change.
"Yeah, I also noticed it when you bump into him. But in fact, he was the one who bump into you. And he still blames you… You were too busy at that time looking at Brother Ja\'s direction." Tung Jo said.
"Damn it… That pouch has my academy identity plate. We need to get it back!" Qing Joming said as he feels a bit panicky.
It does not only contain his academy identity plate, but also his whole allowance for the month. How can he explain this to his mother when he got home?
Feeling a hint of panic in his eyes, he wanted to quickly run out and find that guy.
Xin Ja shakes his head and decided to foot the bill.
He takes out a low-level Ki stone and then stood up.
"Let\'s go… Let\'s find your wallet." He said as he led the two to leave the restaurant.
The waiter was stumped as he did not know what to say. He could only smile widely in happiness at a large amount of money the three just paid.
At first, he wanted to grumble as he thought that the three students would make an excuse of getting robbed so that they could not pay for the food they ate. However, he did not expect that the three are actually very rich that they did not even look back after paying him a single low-quality Ki stone which is a hundred times the amount of what they just ate.
But Xin Ja did not mind this as he wanted to help his friend find his pouch.
The three walks to the street where they encountered that person. This is an alley and right now since it is already nighttime, the alley is actually very dark. When the three arrive on the spot, they cautiously enter the alley.
"This… This is where that guy bumped into me." Qing Joming said as Tung Jo also nodded his head.
Who would have known that before the three could start searching a group would suddenly appear at the edge of the alley?
"Ohh… What do we have here…" someone said in a sarcastic tone.
