《A Mere Fate of Mine》Chapter 40 Dropped out from High School!? (5)
Advertisement
With Ecstasy Divine Massage Technique from Lucien, Richard was fully healed in a few hours. Stevan was so terrified seeing the mummified Richard. Since Stevan knew how strong his best friend the most, the way he looked at his daughter-in-law had changed.
As Richard still had some places to go, he didn’t stay for a dinner and left with his subordinates. Lucien totally forgot to ask him about the origin of his power. His dad also didn’t know the detail. He only knew that Richard had the strong body since they met dozens of years ago.
Lucien could only put his curiosity on hold for now.
About the organization, his dad didn’t force him to join. It was all up to him so Lucien would think about it and decide at the later time. His mom didn’t say anything but she cast a worried glance to him from time to time. It seemed she wanted him to live a peaceful life.
Today was still Friday so Lucien had two days off before the school started again. He planned to spent his time chilling with Alicia.
“Aww, that is so sweet!” exclaimed Alicia as she snuck a glance at Lucien who was sitting beside her.
It was Saturday noon and they were watching k-drama together. Actually, it was Alicia who dragged Lucien to watch with her.
Although Lucien didn’t like the series that much, it would still be fine if it was just to spend his time with his girlfriend. However, the current situation really gave Lucien a headache.
“Aww, if only Lulu and I…”
“This is so cute…”
“Ji Hee and Min jun are so cute together…”
Somehow, every episode Alicia seemed to be the dating scenes or the scenes where the male protagonist did something cute to the female lead like birthday surprise or love confession.
And every time, Alicia would exclaim in awe for Lucien to hear and snuck a glance. Her eyes were saying ‘I want it too!’.
At first, Lucien said something like ‘One day, I will take you to that place’ or ‘I will buy you a ring later.’
However, Alicia pouted at him and said, “Why did you tell me? I want a surprise!”
And when Lucien asked her the date of her birthday so he could prepare a surprise beforehand, Alicia yelled at him, “Lulu, you don’t even know you girlfriend birthday!? I’m so disappointed!”
‘What the hell!? How can I know when you’ve never told me!?’ And so, Lucien retorted her back angrily, “It’s not like you know mine too!”
“What do you mean I don’t know!? Your birthday is September 26th!”
“I-I’m sorry my lord wife…”
“Hmph!”
So now Lucien could only stay silent and wish the time would go faster.

‘Are all women in the world like this?’
Since it had been half a day already, Lucien felt like dying. Still, they both had a nice time together.
The next day, Lucien took Alicia outside. Alicia was so excited because she had been locked down in the house for so long.
Lucien drove his dad’s car to one of the best restaurants. This place was a world-class restaurant, from what he had heard.
When they reached the entrance, a neatly-dressed woman led them to the private room.
“Lulu, you made a reservation!?” said Alicia excitedly, hugging Lucien’s arm tightly.
Lucien only smiled at the sight of his girlfriend.
Upon walking into the room, they spotted a beautiful black haired girl sitting in the corner. She looked at them with widened eyes. In fact, she looked at Alicia in shock.
After a while, she smiled and said, “Good afternoon, Lucien-kun. This should be your girlfriend, right?”
“S-Senpai?” Lucien was shocked. “Why are you here?”
Actually, after being pressured by Alicia yesterday, Lucien consulted his Senpai what he should do to satisfy her. It was Shiori who told him to take Alicia to this restaurant and she would handle the operation.
As Shiori looked very eager to help him, he agreed with her. However, he didn’t expect her to be here as well. A sweat started to form on his head as he slowly turned to his girlfriend.
As expected, Alicia’s happy mood sank in an instant. His arm was cracking from her tightened hugged.
Before Alicia could erupt, Shiori stood up and bowed respectfully. She led the confused couple to their seat.
In the middle of the room was a small table with only two seats. There was a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. A nice romantic song was being played in the background, giving off a soothing atmosphere.
After Shiori rang a small bell on the table, a row of waiters walked in with delicious-looking food on their hands. They then left after the dishes were all served.
Shiori nodded with a satisfied smile and went to the corner of the room, sitting on a lone chair.
“Please ignore my presence and enjoy your time together,” said Shiori with an excited gaze.
Lucien and Alicia were both stupefied. They sat still, looking at each other speechlessly. Alicia had already calmed as she saw that Shiori was not here to seduce her Lulu.
“Well...let’s eat,” said Lucien after a while.
“A-Alright, Lulu.”
“You call him Lulu? That is so cute,” muttered Shiori, blushing. She really made the situation more awkward.
‘What the heck is wrong with you, Senpai!’
The restaurant really deserved its name. All the dishes here were delicious and mouthwatering. Lucien had never eaten anything this great in his whole life. Alicia also enjoyed the meal happily. She had a cute smile on her face the whole time.

Except for the occasionally uncomfortable gazes from Shiori, everything was perfect.
After they were done with the meal, Shiori handed Lucien a small paper. It was the dating plan. She had already made the whole plan for them. Lucien looked at her, completely dumbfounded.
Alicia didn’t seem to mind her anymore as Shiori really left her a deep impression.
Following the plan, Lucien took Alicia to go shopping, eating cakes and many beautiful places to take selfies. Of course, Shiori stalked them the whole time with a camera in secret. Anyway, she looked happy by herself so Lucien didn’t bother with her.
“She really is a nice person, Lulu,” said happily Alicia with an ice-cream cone on her hand as she looked at Shiori direction. She took a liking to her already.
Lucien didn’t know whether to laugh or cry seeing his senpai trying to hide behind the bush.
They were now sitting near the fountain in the shopping square, enjoying their time together. This place was very popular for many dessert shops. It could be said that the whole square only had desserts.
While Lucien and Alicia were teasing each other like a cute lovestruck couple, the big screen on the high building that was showing advertisements changed into a breaking news, catching many passersby attention.
Splash!
Someone dropped a water bottle to the ground.
Thud!
Another person dropped a bag.
Splash!
A smoothy…
Thud!
Lucien dropped an ice-cream cone in his hand as he looked at the screen. Almost everyone in the square that was watching the news had their mouth wide opened, including Lucien.
Alicia who was lying on Lucien’s lap peacefully was shocked at the ice-cream that almost hit her face. She quickly got up and yelled at him.
“What are you doing, Lu-”
Thud!
Alicia’s vanilla ice-cream then fell on the ground too.
On the screen was a long-haired man. The man wore a blue olden Chinese robe. With a sword on his back, he looked just like a martial artist from a Chinese movie.
In front of him was a big and scary black-scaled snake. It was rampaging in the middle of the street. If it wasn’t for the rows of people holding up the phones in the back, everyone would think this was a scene from the movie or some sort.
The snake roared fiercely as it tried to bite the Chinese robed man, however, the man dodged all the attacks nimbly.
The man was running around on the floor, sometimes on the wall and sometimes on the ceiling, confusing the snake, dazzling the people watching.
Sticking out his index and middle finger like a sword, the man waved his hand. The sword hummed a loud voice as it flew out from the scabbard and flew straight into one of the snake’s eyes.
“Grakkkk!”
The giant snake screamed in pain and smashed its tail aiming at the man. Of course, it missed the target and destroyed the wall of the buildings instead.
Like a storm, the sword flew with a fast speed, cutting the snake here and there. The snake could only scream helplessly.
The man shouted, “Die, you devil!”
With a wave of his hand, the sword flew into the snake’s mouth and cut through everything in its path, slashing all the way out to the snake’s backdoor.
“Graaaaa!!”
With a wailing, the snake fell on the ground with a thud. The loud cheers erupted from everywhere.
The cameraman and the anchor quickly reached the man with a big microphone. The other news sources also followed and bombarded the man with numerous questions.
Now that everyone could see the man up close, they realized that the man had a very handsome face. His sword-like brows and sharp shin had captivated many women around.
The man emitted a cold pressure from his body. With a wave of his hand, everyone became quiet. He looked into the camera and said with a solemn voice,
“The situation of the world right now is like what our ancestors had prophesied. It’s time for us, the cultivators, to resurface to the world.”
Everyone held their breath hearing the man words. Many Chinese youths had their hands shaking in excitement and thought to themselves,
‘Those wuxia novels are the record of history. They aren’t just fictions…’
‘I knew it. There are real cultivators in this world…’
‘I will become Immortals…’
‘Kill Gods and Buddhas…’
‘Whoever dares to block my path, shall be slain…’
The sealed chuunibyou bloodline of many Chinese youths had been awakened by the man in the camera.
Still, with a cold face, the man said, “Five River Sword Sect will be recruiting disciples at Mount Tai in three days. Only those with ten to twenty years old can participate!”
After the promotion-like line, the man stepped on the flying sword. Right when he was about to fly away, one of the youth in the crowd shouted,
“Please tell us, lowly peasants, your name, brother!”
The man looked at the daring youth for a while. The tip of his lip curled up a little and he said, “I am... Li Qiufeng!”
With a woosh, the man flew into the sky leaving behind the big crowd.
Meanwhile, Lucien frowned and muttered in a low voice, “I’m going to China…”
