Legends of Runeterra

“Swish~!”

A red lightning flashed in the air and disappeared in an instant.

After possessing magic, Akali's speed has easily reached several times of its previous speed, and this is far from her limit.

Feeling the scenery passing by at a rapid speed, Akali raised her arm and looked at the intricate and majestic dragon-scale-like patterns on it, and couldn't help but smile.

Not to mention the defensive power brought by the 'Dragon Thunder Encircled' state, the appearance of this pattern alone easily won Akali's favor.

"This is... proof of the bond between me and Brother Li En..."

Akali silently recited a sentence in her heart, and when she was within a certain range of Shen's residence, she quickly got rid of the "Dragon Thunder Entanglement" state and hid her magic power.

Akali jumped down from the treetop and landed lightly in front of the yard gate.

"Click~!"

Akali pushed the door open.

"Brother Shen, are you home?"

"Ok?"

In the quiet room, Shen, who had just transmitted a message through some secret method, closed his eyes and meditated. Then he opened his eyes to study.

"Shua~!"

With a flash of his body, Shen transferred through a small area of ​​the spiritual world and came directly to the living room.

"Akali? Why are you here!?"

Looking at Akali who was eating the pastries on the table skillfully, it seemed that although they hadn't seen each other for only one night, she looked more and more radiant.

In Shen's heart, he increasingly agreed with Jie's suggestion, but at the same time, a hint of doubt appeared on his resolute face.

"Ah? Brother Shen, what do you mean? Why can't I be here?"

"This...you..."

"Hmm? Something's wrong, Shen, are you hiding something from me?"

Facing Akali's scrutinizing gaze, Shen hesitated for a moment, then sat down at the table and poured two cups of hot tea for the two of them.

"Akali, I know everything that happened last night, you..."

"Ah? Is this true? Did Brother Li En tell you? I was planning to give you a surprise!"

"Ahem! Surprise? Not much joy, but I was quite shocked."

Listening to Shen's confusing words, Akali scratched her head in confusion.

"Uh...Shen, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Ah~! I understand Akali, but I have already told Meimu and Master Tano about this.

Anyway, when we return to the sect, we will discuss your marriage with Li En together."

“Ding-dong~!”

The teacup fell to the bluestone floor.

"Ah!? Marriage...marriage...marriage!!!"

"Um, what's wrong? Any problem?"

"You...I...this..."

After Akali's magic awakened, her fair, pretty, flawless face instantly turned red.

"Don't worry Akali, leave this matter to me. I will explain it to Master Uncle and the others after we return. Don't worry!"

"Shua~!"

A white and smooth little fist instantly appeared not far from Shen's head.

'So fast! '

With a subconscious cry of surprise in his heart, Shen quickly raised his forearm to block.

Shen, knowing his opponent's strength well, deliberately restrained his strength in order to avoid hurting Akali, intending to perfectly block her punch.

“Swish~!”

'what's the situation! ? '

Just as this thought popped up in his mind, the next moment, Shen was hit hard by Akali's 'Dragon Thunder Entanglement' punch.

"Bang~!"

The delicate little fist hit Shen's forearm, and along with his right arm, hit his right cheek.

“Crack~Boom~!”

Shen, who was nearly two meters tall, tall and strong, was knocked away by a tiny ninja girl who was just over 1.6 meters tall.

After crashing into the living room wall, Shen changed his posture in the air, and finally stabilized his body after his legs left two deep marks in the mud of the backyard.

"Hiss~! Akali you..."

Compared to the pain in his forearm, Shen took a deep breath at Akali's sudden magical ability.

"Huh! Now do you know what happened last night?"

"Uh...Akali, you mean..."

Seeing Shen, who was always steady and somewhat old-fashioned, showing such a shocked expression, Akali's shame and anger dissipated a little.

"That's right. Brother Li En used a secret method to help me gain this magical talent last night."

“Swish~!”

The red lightning flashed across the black hair on Akali's forehead.

"Now, I am a powerful ninja!"

Feeling Akali's unconcealed aura, Shen couldn't help but nodded slightly.

“Indeed, Akali, your strength has improved greatly.

It's just Akali, you and Li En..."

"Stop! Stop talking nonsense, that's not happening!

In short, you should explain this to your mother and the others right away!"

"Ok!"

Shen nodded, closed his eyes, and formed seals with his hands, and the power of the spiritual world gathered in his body.

However, after only a few breaths, Shen opened his eyes again.

Seeing this, a bad premonition slowly emerged in Akali's heart.

"What happened? Why did the secret technique end so quickly?"

"Uh... I... My secret method didn't get a response, but..."

"but what!?"

"But it was my uncle and the others who left me a message, telling us not to leave and that they were on their way."

Facing Akali's gaze, Shen gave her the answer she least wanted to hear.

"what!?"

"Don't worry, Akali. At worst, you can just hide away and wait for me and my uncle to explain everything.

Besides, this misunderstanding was also discussed by Jie and I. I will go find him later and ask him to go with me to explain it to the uncle masters.

Even if someone is to blame, it will be on the two of us, and you will not be implicated."

In order to reassure the extremely anxious Akali, Shen suddenly revealed the other culprit.

"Huh? And Jie is involved too!?"

"Well, don't worry, this matter is our fault. Jie and I will bear all the responsibilities!"

"You...you..."

Akali looked at Shen who sincerely admitted his mistake, and for a moment she could not say anything to blame him.

"Forget it, you guys can handle it yourselves. I'll go talk to Brother Li En and ask him to hide with me so that he won't be implicated by you guys!"

"Well, I'm sorry Akali, please also tell Li En that Jie and I apologize."

"Hmph! Got it!"

“Swish~!”

With a flash of red lightning, Akali disappeared in front of Shen.

Looking at Akali who was going away at a very fast speed, Shen rubbed his right cheek which had just been hit hard.

"Alas! I shouldn't care about these love affairs.

Let’s go find Jie first and talk to him.”

...

"Brother Li En~!"

"Akali, you're back."

"Brother Li En, I...I have something to tell you..."

"Okay, Akali, go ahead."

Facing Li En's gentle gaze, Akali, with a blushing face, slowly began to tell the story after hesitating for several times.
