《Love Code at the End of the World》Book 1, Chapter 47 - Second Test
Advertisement
I stood up and stepped back.
Harry shook his head, and tried to stand up. He trembled as he tried to find his balance. He looked at the wall and mumbled, “What… happened? Huh? Where is she?”
“I’m here,” I said and he stiffened. He turned around as he bit his lips and creased his eyebrows. He scratched his head and blushed. He avoided giving me eye contact, instead, he looked at Sis Ceci and asked, “Can today’s test be a secret?”
“Hahahaha.” Sis Cannon’s laughter filled the entire testing room. Sis Cannon’s laughter was bright and clear, and it drowned everyone else’s laughter. The confined testing room acted as a sound system, magnifying her laughter. Harry’s face turned black as he looked at Sis Cannon grudgingly.
Sis Cannon laughed for a while before realizing that her laughter was too loud. She immediately stopped laughing and her face grew serious as she looked at Harry, “What are you looking at? You were defeated, so can’t I laugh about it?”
Raffles nodded excitedly and smiled smugly at Harry’s failure.
Elder Alufa and the others were laughing too. Only Uncle Mason covered his face and said through gritted teeth, “Harry! Keep going!”
*Phew!* Harry put his hands on his waist. He lowered his face and looked at me. There was a drastic change in his expressions. He looked at me solemnly, “I wouldn’t give way to you anymore during the next match!”
Pfft. As though you did for the last two matches!
“The second test, distant combat.” As Sis Ceci spoke, the surrounding white walls became bumpy and several square boxes popped out from it. The entire wall was flexible and I was shocked at the sight of these bumpy walls. They gradually stopped and there were some boxes that turned. There were daggers and guns in them!
I took a gun from the wall. The model of this gun was similar to the one He Lei had. Then, I picked up a dagger; its blade was very sharp. I immediately asked Sis Ceci, “Sis Ceci, do we really need to go through the distant combat test?”

Sis Ceci looked solemn. It was a military officer’s gaze that didn’t permit her soldier to say no.
Arsenal became anxious, Ming You looked at Harry with concern, Xue Gie looked calm, and Xiao Ying’s gaze wavered between Harry and me.
Raffles cheered for me, “Go for it!”
Sis Cannon and Da Li nodded at me too.
“Why? Are you scared?” Harry was fiddling with a gun as he asked. I looked at Sis Ceci with concern, “Blades and bullets have no eyes. I’m afraid I might hurt Harry.”
“You’re afraid that you might hurt me?! Hahaha.” Harry laughed hysterically. He leaned back as though he was going to fall from laughing too hard.
Sis Ceci took a look at me and then at Harry, “Harry, I have been wondering how you found out that Luo Bing was a girl, when the people from Silver Moon City had assumed her to be a boy instead?”
*Cough!* Suddenly, Harry coughed as though he was choking. His face instantly became red from the vigorous coughing.
Princess Arsenal was also looking at Harry, “Harry, how did you determine that?”
“Eh? Brother Harry is a little fishy.” Xiao Ying squinted her big eyes from behind the glass, as her huge chest leaned against it.
Raffles and Sis Cannon were curious too, while Da Li leaned her cheeks on Sis Cannon’s head.
Xue Gie remained calm, as though there was nothing that would disrupt her calmness.
Elder Alufa smiled mysteriously.
But Uncle Mason became nervous and he peeped at Ceci.
Harry coughed for a while. Then, he lifted his head as he combed his fingers through his hair on his forehead, “My gut feelings!” He tried to look cool as he wriggled his eyebrows.
Somehow, I suddenly got a bad feeling about this. I looked at him solemnly, “How did you know?!”
Harry’s eyebrows stiffened.
“Harry, you are my son. Do you think I don’t know you well?” Sis Ceci spoke, “You are just like your dad. Both of you only have gut feelings towards beauty. Haven’t there been enough times when you have mixed up male and female?!”

Uncle Mason touched his forehead, as if he was regretting that his son hadn’t lived up to his expectations.
Harry became even stiffer. He couldn’t move his eyebrows anymore, but instead he clenched his teeth and lowered his face. He held his forehead like his father and muttered, “Are you really my mom… Why do you always reveal my dis…”
What? Mixed up male and female? I looked up in confusion. What does Sis Ceci mean?
Raffles chuckled, “Luo Bing, Harry has always mistaken pretty boys as girls, whenever he has been out on fieldwork to other cities.”
“Raffles!” Harry shouted as he glared at Raffles.
“Hahahaha.” Sis Cannon laughed at an inappropriate time once again. Her bright laughter was even louder during an awkward situation.
However, she reined back her laughter quickly. She looked at Harry with a distressed expression, “Did you touch her? That’s how you knew that Luo Bing was a girl, right?”
Suddenly, everyone gasped. Arsenal covered her mouth while Xue Gie’s gaze changed. It instantly became cold and it was even giving out murderous glare.
What?! My heart clenched. When I looked at Harry, I saw him tense up and blush.
“Harry! Hurry up and explain yourself!” Ming You was worried, “I believe you are not…”
“It was an accident…” Harry suddenly spoke as he admitted!
“Son! You can’t say that!” Uncle Mason leaned on the glass, “You’ll die!”
Harry blushed as he pouted, “When I carried her down… like this…” He made a posture of having his arms around her, “...I accidently… touched… “ He blushed as he stole a glance at me. He immediately turned away and scratched his head, “Aiya. I was trying to help and I thought she was a boy. Who knew…”
“Harry, you are...!” Ming You bit her lips and sighed from behind the glass. She shook her head angrily and looked away.
There was a sudden explosion in my head. Bang!
“Kill him!” Xue Gie’s extremely cold remark resounded in the testing room and it kept reverberating in my ears, Kill him… Kill him… Kill him…
I picked up the dagger and squinted my eyes. I had zeroed on Harry’s stiffened figure.
“Luo Bing! I didn’t do that on purpose!”
“Tell that to the King of Hell!” I threw out the dagger and he dodged it. I turned around and picked up a few more from the side. I had five daggers in my hand and I threw them at Harry one after another.
The first dagger blocked his route and he exclaimed in shock as he took one step backwards. I threw the second dagger immediately to block his route of retreat, and he turned to another side against the wall. Then, I immediately shot out the three daggers altogether. *Ding, ding, ding!* One nailed his clothes on his right shoulder, the other nailed his left trouser leg and the last glided against his neck and nailed the collar at the back of his neck. He instantly stiffened on the spot and didn’t dare to move an inch. He gulped and swallowed his saliva.
I charged at him, and there was a square that had popped up next to him. There was a gun on it. I picked it up when I was in front of Harry, and swiftly aimed the gun muzzle in between his eyebrows!

8 122Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
