Martial Arts System Chapter 117: Confessed.

Chapter 117: Confessed.

''Ichiro, you have been quiet today; what's up?'' Azura asked curiously.
Ichiro and Azura were currently sitting in the Cafe they had their first date on.
Ichiro shrugged, ''Nervous, I guess…''
Azura tilted her head; she wondered why he was nervous.
Ichiro took a slurp from his coffee.
It has been a week since their practice match, and the Battle of Cities will start tomorrow.
''Nervous of the upcoming tournament?'' Azura asked.
Ichiro nodded, but he was lying.
He made a bet over one month ago that if he gets good stuff from the lottery, he will confess.
And in his opinion… He got excellent stuff.
He used his Random Stat Improvement Pill and The Technique Improvement token yesterday.
He got 22 Points in Vitality.
After that, his stats looked like this…

And the technique he improved was Ironic Edge.
[Ironic Edge -] Steel Edge]
He didn't have time to test it yet, but he has a chance in the upcoming Battle of Cities.
But today… He isn't training; instead, he got enough courage to confess today.
Azura was innocently drinking the coffee; her soft-looking lips touching the cup made the scene very breathtaking.
Her figure alone was the center of the attention in the Cafe.
Especially from boys, but their girlfriend gave them a good spanking, but then their attention got stolen by Ichiro's otherworldly look, which caused their boyfriends to snap at their girlfriends.
It was an endless cycle.
Aether's words echoed in Ichiro's ears.
And Abyss' scary look made Ichiro very timid.
But that wasn't stopping him.
They drank their coffees in silence.
Once they were done drinking.
Ichiro opened his mouth, ''Azura…''
''Hm?'' Azura looked innocently with her beautiful bright blue eyes.
Ichiro bit his lips and opened his mouth, ''I li… yo…'' His voice was very quiet.
''What did you say?'' Azura asked with her cute voice.
Ichiro took a deep breath and looked at Azura's face with great concentration.
His intense gaze made Azura very shy, ''W-Why are you looking at me like that…''
Ichiro opened his mouth, ''I-I-I like you.''
Azura perked up her ears, ''Eh… What did you say?''
Ichiro leaned closer and whispered, ''I like you.''
Azura went blank. Her face started turning redder.
First her neck, then her cheeks, and finally her face.
''L-Like… L-Like.'' Azura kept repeating, 'AAHHHHHHHH!' She screamed in her mind.
''Will you be my girlfriend?'' Ichiro asked with hope; his heart was almost exploded out of nervousness.
Azura's heart almost exploded; she shyly opened her mouth, ''Y-Y-Yes…'' She muttered quietly.
But Ichiro heard her.
''Haa!'' Ichiro took a deep breath out of relief and leaned on his chair.
Azura hid her face under her hands, hiding her broad smile.
Ichiro's hand was trembling; even when he fought against his greatest rival in his previous life, he didn't feel this nervous.
''Tomorrow… The rest of the Club members and I will leave for the Tournament…'' Ichiro revealed.
Azura showed her blushing face, ''R-Really?''
Ichiro nodded, ''W-We might not see each other for a few days…''
Azura looked downcast, ''I see…''
Ichiro grabbed her hand and looked at her lovingly.
Azura blushed heavily and tried to hide her blushing face.
''I-I will miss you.'' Ichiro blushed after saying such an embarrassing line.
'I am turning into Slych!'
Azura turned her shaky eyes towards Ichiro, ''I-I will miss you as well… Darling.'' She blushed and averted her gaze.
The people in the cafe almost fainted, suddenly a sugar atmosphere appeared and then they saw that scene.
Ichiro smiled and stood up; he offered his hand.
Azura with a blushing face grabbed it.
They left the cafe and started walking in the Mall with their hands locked.
Azura could feel Ichiro's sweaty palm.
'H-He must have been very nervous…' Azura for some reason felt incredibly happy about that.
It seems that she was not the only one who was nervous!
People in the Mall recognized both of them.
Azura's status as the only daughter of the Nightside family has spread a long time ago, and now everyone knows her face.
Ichiro is obviously easy to recognize.
He is the wet dream of countless young girls and some older girls.
And somehow… Picture where he was shirtless ended up being spread around the City.
Definitely not Jordan and others' revenge.
They didn't forget about Ichiro's speech.
He wasn't aware yet, but even Azura had a copy of the picture.
They left the Mall and started walking in the streets in comfortable silence.
Once they ented the neighborhood.
Ichiro looked at the scene with mouth agape.
The neighborhood looked like where rich people lived.
Every house looked like small mansions!
Soon they reached Azura's building, which was the same 2-floor building, but the building now looked like one big house.
There is a reason for that.
Everyone moved out because the Government paid a lot money to move out.
And they rebuilt the shabby 2-floor building as a massive mansion for Azura and Alena.
There was also a fence around the building, with a massive metal gate.
''Wow…'' Ichiro exclaimed.
Azura shyly nodded, ''Dad went a little overboard…''
Ichiro turned his gaze towards Azura; she did the same.
Their faces got closer until their lips connected.
''Mmm!'' Azura moaned out of satisfaction; it felt like her entire body got electrocuted.
Ichiro closed his eyes and enjoyed the soft lips.
It felt like he was kissing marshmellow, except the lips were a hundred times sweeter.
After kissing for one minute, they separated their lips.
Both of theirs faces were flushed in red.
They both had to take deep breaths.
''S-See you after we return,'' Ichiro said with a shaky tone.
Azura's vision was hazy; she was breathing deeply.
''S-See you.'' She said shyly and kissed his cheek one more time before entering her mansion's premises; she hid her face from the servants of the mansion.
Ichiro had a broad smile; he turned around and started walking away.
But two meters later… He went pale.
Not far from him… two individuals were standing with crossed arms.
They were… Alena and Abyss.
''Y-Yo.'' Ichiro shakily greeted and walked past them.
But then he heard Abyss' bone-chilling voice, ''M-My Dear Daughter has been taken… So soon…''
He acted like he didn't hear it and sprinted out of the neighborhood.
