Chapter 194: Meeting Faith
A request to meet from someone he had never met before was nothing for Kain to really think about, but at this time?
Kain was silent, seemingly in thought, then he told Hardy that he would be leaving the dormitory for a while.
Kain went down and saw a girl standing below waiting for him.
From the familiar uniform, there was no way she wasn't a student of this academy.
Her gaze was rather absent-minded, showing that she had come here with a low purpose. But since she had come here to find him at this time, she definitely couldn't have such a casual attitude.
Unless this girl is just a messenger.
"What's the problem? Who are you?"
"I... I just came to deliver a message."
The girl hesitated a bit, then took out a letter from her person and handed it to Kain.
After that, she left quickly, even in a hurry.
Kain frowned, then his attention shifted from the girl to the letter.
This was not just a piece of paper with words written on it, but a letter neatly placed inside an envelope. Although it was just folded paper, the lines of the envelope were folded and glued quite meticulously, which not only showed that the envelope making skill was quite high, but also showed that the owner of this letter was a relatively meticulous person.
Kain tore open the envelope, inside was a letter with a few brief words about a location in the academy. Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
That was the academy's flower garden area, a place that was normally not frequented by many people. Because students were either practicing or studying, if they wanted to have fun they could go down to the city to have fun, where there were many more attractive places.
Few people are interested in walking in the flower garden.
Thinking for a while, Kain finally wanted to give it a try.
Calculating the time on the letter just right until he finished thinking, Kain slightly narrowed his eyes as if thinking of something, then he started moving to leave the dormitory.
A moment later, at the academy's flower garden area.
As Kain thought, the place was deserted, if not deserted.
Even so, the scenery here was still beautiful, because the academy was built at the highest point of the city, so the flower garden not only had open space, but from here he could also vaguely observe the scenery of the entire Esten.
The diverse, fresh and brilliant flowers further enhance the beauty of the landscape here.
That made Kain's slightly fluttering heart calm down.
"I wonder if Mera knows about this place? Should I bring her here?"
A random thought crossed Kain's mind as he stepped inside.
Based on the location in the letter, Kain quickly found the person who had arranged to meet him.
From a distance, Kain thought it was a girl, but it was actually a guy.
It was a student with long, bright blond hair and sharp eyes, the noble aura on him was always present without having to intentionally show it.
Like... no, this guy is a real noble.
Even though he was thinking in his head, Kain naturally moved forward.
Seeing Kain coming, this person also smiled back.
"Hello, I'm Faith."
"Just call me Kain, since it seems you already know my name."
"Yes, you're quite famous now. I'm also very interested, so… I want to meet you once."
Faith laughed as he spoke, his voice as melodious as a guitar, with every tone and even every stress filled with soul.
However, this "meeting famous people for fun" thing was not within Kain's interest, especially since Kain didn't care about fame or fortune, unless fame or fortune had something he needed.
But for some reason, Kain still sat down on the chair opposite Faith. He also smiled in a friendly manner.
"So now that you've met me, what do you think about me?"
"More than I imagined."
Faith replied, not knowing if there was any hidden meaning behind it.
The two of them sat on two chairs facing each other, with a table in the middle. On the table was a wooden board with black and white squares of different shapes and evenly spaced, above each square were wooden chess pieces of different shapes, exquisitely carved and arranged in a regular manner.
"Kain, do you know what this is?"
Faith pointed to something on the table.
Kain nodded.
"It's chess, right? I've read about it."
"Yeah, that's right. Chess, probably the best."
Faith spoke with a tone of exclamation mixed with sadness, as if no one had understood what he had said before.
"Hey Kain, would you like to play a game with me? It would be fun."
"Maybe... okay."
Kain curled his lips slightly and tilted his head slightly, not objecting to this intention.
The rules of chess, with Kain's intelligence, were not difficult to remember. So the two of them quickly performed the opening moves.
As it turned out, compared to a Kain who had only grasped the basic rules and had never played chess before, Faith could overwhelm him in the early stages with experience.
However, Kain also showed his ability to adapt very quickly, very quickly pulling the entire battle back to an equal position.
Kain's strategy was quickly deployed, causing Faith to exclaim.
"Is this really your first time playing chess? I've played against guys who have played hundreds of games, but most of them didn't even perform as well as you."
"Thanks for the compliment, this is definitely my first time playing chess."
By this time, Kain's tactics were in motion, temporarily suppressing Faith.
The blond boy was not confused by this. He attentively observed the chess game, then suddenly said something.
"You seem to have quite a bit of confidence in your pieces, huh?"
"You could say that."
Kain said, while his eyes were not focused on Faith but still focused on the chessboard, one hand supporting his chin in thought, as if completely absorbed in the game.
