"Astrid, will you become my girlfriend?" Jay asked kneeing.
"W-What are you saying? G-Girlfriend" Astrid stuttered her face turning red, but before she can answer him, Jay start laughing,
"Hahaha, look at you, how red you turned with jus…" Jay didn't able to finished what he wanted to say…
"Yes, I agree" Astrid replied in meek voice, her face turning more redder
Jay stood frozen on his place, even though it was a dungeon where sun and wind didn't exist, but Jay could feel…
The soothing warmth of Sun as cold wind passed near making him feel two contradictor feel of cold and warmth at the same.
"D-D-Did did you just agreed" Jay stuttered in his speech, this was the first time a girl had agree to become his girlfriend in his both life.
In his previous life Jay didn't try wooing a girl, because of his background and past, but after gain this new life and two overpowered abilities his confidence raises up to another level and he finally said something he shouldn't have said in his previous life.
Jay moved and quickly hugged her, but released her just as quickly,
"AAAhhh" he screamed, because of adrenaline he momentary forget his pain from the hit of the boss.
"Are you okey?" Astrid asked, because of suddenly hug she was stunned, but came out of her reverie, checking Jay she notices his left quadrant was completely blue and swollen.
"How did you not notice this?" she spoke, waving her hand a green-colored vial appeared on her hand, opening the vial she poured all of its content on Jay's wound.
"Ahh... damn, this burns." Jay exclaims sharply, "It was you who neglected your wound, you were lucky we have this potion otherwise, only an A-rank potion can cure you" she spoke worry in her tone.
She was checking other injuries on his body, suddenly she felt a pair of hand wrapping around her and before she can utter anything Jay hugged her.
Unconsciously her hand touches his chest as tried to push him "Aaahh" Jay scream in pain, she quickly retrieves her hand from his chest, "Are you okey?" she questioned "I will be okey if you don't move much" Jay replied with a pained expression,
He was faking it, after the medicine has taken effect, he wasn't feeling any pain, 'if you have a beautiful girlfriend like me then you should also learn to act'
"Jay" Astrid spoke, "Hmm" Jay replied, "Jay" this time Astrid spoke loudly,
"hah~" with a sigh Jay released her, "Let's leave" Astrid said before turning around and walking away,
Jay saw her retreating back, 'was I too fast?' Jay questioned 'Yes, I was, how can you hug a girl just after she accepted your proposal. You idiot' "Wait for me" Jay shouted as he rushed toward her,
"Ah, fuck, my loots" Jay shouted, "Astrid can you at least put the loot in your spacial ring.
…
Inside a lavish room, on a big bed a man was lying, two beautiful girls on each side,
He was none other than Willson, suddenly the door of the room blasted open and angry Vincent came inside.
Willson and two ladies got startled because of the loud noise of the door breaking, "Who dare…" Willson wanted to shout at the person who entered his room like this, but when he saw his father's angry expression his face turned pale.
How can he not understand what happened and why was his father angry, yesterday at night he gave the contract to those black-market people and in morning his father came to him.
"Get out!" Vincent shouted at two naked ladies in the room, hearing his shout and how angry he was those ladies quickly grabbed their clothes and ran out without wearing them.
"F-Father I can expla…" Willson tried to say but a sudden pressure weighted down on him, it so horrifying for Willson who was only an E- rank, feeling the full pressure of D+ rank.
"You, you what did I had said?" Vincent shouted with each word the pressure on Willson increased, now he was not able to able move and even talking is harder for him.
"F-Father… p-please… I-I wil… die…" Willson said with so much struggle.
Seeing his son's sorry state Vincint retrieve his pressure and said in worried tone.
"Come to my study." Saying this he turned around get out of the room.
Inside the room Willson greeted his teeth, 'they actually snitch on me' he thought,
Not knowing that the person he tried to hire was Astrid's sister Alice Lindberg.
…
When Astrid and Jay came out of the dungeon, they were greeted with strange sight, well strange for only Jay as Astrid has seen this scene many time,
There were a crowd of teenagers ranging from 12 years old to 16 years old, it was normal here but what was strange that every child was a ranker, youngers once were E+ rank same as Astrid and the older once were D+ ranks.
The man or teacher who was leading them were so powerful that Jay can't even tell what's was his Rank.
Seeing his dumbstruck look, Astrid sighed and explained, "They are the student of UNITED EARTH ACADEMY. A very prestigious academy where only elite go."
"But how are they so strong?" he asked confused, "ha-ha, because they are elite" she replied sarcasm in her tone.
"These people have high end resources that can help them awake with higher Affinity than normal people, and even if they awake low affinity, they simply use Affinity scroll to increase their affinity rank."
"They have cultivation techniques, that can boost their rank-up time to another level."
"Affinity scroll" "cultivation Techniques" "resources" Jay muttered,
Then suddenly he felt a gaze landed on him, it was the teacher. Jay looked at him but suddenly the man disappeared from his place and appeared before Jay,
It was so sudden that Jay got startled and unconsciously punched the man,
The man grabbed Jay's hand.
"How many affinity you have?" the man asked looking in Jay's eyes, momentary Jay freeze and looked at the man with hazy eyes.
And was about to reply, but Astrid hand stopped him.
"Mr. Edward, how can you behave like that?" Astrid spoke looking in his eyes.
Edward glance at her to be more precise her hand which was grabbing a black colored tablet.
"Black-Market" he muttered, releasing Jay's hand he returned at his previous place and gave a last glace at Jay before entering in dungeon, all the student also glace at Jay before entering.
