“My guess was right. Revolver-Skyblade couldn’t defeat Qian Jin...” Christine said as she played with her long blonde hair. She had a smile on her face. “Qian Jin, you have finally stepped into the game of the top ten. I want to see how you will escape this time!”

“Qian Jin beat Revolver-Skyblade in a fight?” At almost the same time, the other top ten Grade One students smiled as they heard the news.

The guy that never participated in the fight between the top ten has finally been dragged into it. “It looks like I’m going to have more tags in my hand,” the other top ten students thought.

“Tags... the person who designed the tag system is the worst.”

Qian Jin casually threw the four tags onto his bedside table, and then took his toiletries to the nearby shower. He cleaned the dust and sweat off his body and returned to his room.

Night was approaching and Rollin was waiting for him in the room. Rollin said to Qian Jin excitedly, “Come on, let’s go out and eat tonight! It’s on me! You kicked Revolver-Skyblade’s ass today, so it’s worth celebrating!”

Qian Jin looked at the sun that was lowering below the horizon and asked Rollin seriously, “I don’t understand. Why do you like that Julius so much? What’s so good about her?”

“Eh...” Rollin’s face became serious too. “She is very pretty, and she is very sexy!”

“That’s it?” Qian Jin still couldn’t wrap his head around it; although there weren’t a lot of girls who were as pretty as Julius, they certainly weren’t that rare.

“Also...” Rollin clapped his hands. “She is very haughty. Her head is always up when she walks around, and she always had a cold and unconcerned expression on her face. This kind of icy beauty...”

Qian Jin yawned. “So, she’s haughty because of her face? Is that something people value now? Compared to her, Luna...”

Qian Jin’s expression changed drastically in a few seconds. It went from disdain to yearning, then to a sudden sadness. Rollin had never seen Qian Jin like this.

“Qian Jin... Qian Jin...” Rollin whispered, “Are you okay?”

“Ah?” Qian Jin stretched his upper body as he leaned against the wall that was still warm after being shined on by the sun the entire day. His moodiness disappeared, and his signature smile came back on his face. “What? I’m feeling great.”

“How about it?” Rollin suggested again, “Let’s go out and have a feast to celebrate!”

Qian Jin rubbed his growling stomach and laughed. “Alright! I fought for you today, so I will take the food as payment.”

“Let’s go!” Rollin dragged him. “You beat Revolver-Skyblade which is worth celebrating. How about I bring my sister along? I think I told you about my sister. You are currently single, so how about I match you guys up? She is very pretty! I mentioned you to her already, and it seemed like she is interested in you.”

Qian Jin stared at Rollin in the eyes for a while, and a sympathetic expression appeared on his face. He patted Rollin’s shoulder and said, “Bro, I know you are coming with good intentions, but you can’t just lie to promote your sister. From your look, I can already imagine how your sister looks like.”

“F**k you man!” Rollin gave Qian Jin a front kick. “Although I’m not too handsome, I have a great personality. Plus, my sister is nothing like me; she is really pretty!”

“Okay, I get it.” Qian Jin dodged Rollin’s kick and pushed him forward. “I know, but even if your sister is pretty, I’m really poor, so I can’t afford a girlfriend.”

“It’s okay, my sister is rich...”

“But I don’t want to be a boy toy...”

“Bro, although we are friends, I have to inform you that you don’t qualify as a boy toy; you aren’t good looking enough. You look very manly though. On the other hand, Durk, the number one warrior student in our grade, has the potential to be a boy toy.”

“Man, you hurt my feelings. You destroyed my dream of being a boy toy. I’ll have to eat a lot and make you poor after paying the bill.”

“Qian Jin, I’m serious. After you graduate from the Advanced Warrior Academy, you should come to my Falker Family. Although we are not a huge merchant family, we are pretty well off. Once you become the main guardian of our family and marry my little sister, then we will be a real family.”

“Friend, I can consider becoming the main guardian of your family, but after looking at your face, I’m not really interested in becoming your brother-in-law.”

“Hey man, you don’t even know. My sister is the most popular girl at Oakland Business Academy...”

“Really? Damn bro, I feel bad for all the guys who are attending that academy. What kind of environment are they living in?”

“F**k you!”

“F**k you back!”

Under the sunset, the two of them walked out of the academy and went to their favorite restaurant in the city while joking with each other. It was already nighttime when they finished eating.

Under numerous shining stars, Oakland’s Warrior and Mage Academy was very quiet. Only the sounds of insects buzzing could be heard. Qian Jin looked at Rollin who had already fallen asleep; he was very thankful that this person appeared in his life. It was more than the monetary support that Rollin gave him. If it wasn’t for Rollin, he would currently be in a more silent and depressed state.

Qian Jin leaned against the window and looked up at the stars. Most people who could experience what he had experienced would be very depressed. A big part of the reason why he was so optimistic was because of Rollin.

His vision started to blur as he continued looking up at the sky. The stars twinkled, and it looked like they were dancing around as they formed a blurry face. It was a girl’s face; she had a very charming smile on her face as she waved at him.

Qian Jin waved back subconsciously, but as soon as he moved, his eyes cleared, and the image disappeared. He sighed at the sky.

“I will become the wealthiest merchant in this world! Buddy, remember... Family Guardian...”

Rollin murmured in his sleep. He couldn’t forget about convincing Qian Jin to become the main guardian in his dreams. A warm smile popped on Qian Jin’s face. “Family Guardian? If I do end up with that ability, I will definitely become your family’s guardian; it doesn’t matter if other families send me guardian invitations, nor does it matter how powerful they are! But for becoming your brother-in-law... Friend, it worries me just based on your look alone,” he thought.

Meditation was something that Qian Jin did every day before he went to bed.

In the quiet room, he closed his eyes and meditated for an hour. It was the same; he still couldn’t sense any magic elements around him. He was disappointed. “It looks like my deformed and incomplete spiritual power really...”

Qian Jin took a long breath and stretched himself. After that, he grabbed the hat that looked like a wizard hat from the bottom of his bed. “Endless World, Endless World... I wish that you can help me get me stronger using any means. Then, I will be able to enter the Sunset Mountain alone and try to find the [Supreme Wind and Cloud Energy Training Scroll] that may or may not exist. That is my only opportunity to turn my life around!” he whispered to himself.
