Chapter 9 - Kidnapping....
"I will protect her with my life. Sir may rest easy." Yue said trying to reassure Laohu. He said this while walking out the door with his girlfriend Xue. They walked hand in hand even once they exited the building. Then all of a sudden a flash grenade went off and he felt Xue get pulled away from him....
However because Yueliang could still \'see\' despite not being able to use his eyes right now, he quickly let go of her wrist, then ran to the one trying to pull her away. Once behind them, he punched towards their kidney to disable them, however because his strength had increased a lot, he accidently punched straight through the skin, muscles, organs, then out the other side. When he saw all the blood spurting he was surprised for a second then readjusted his strength for the others and continued running around to the next one.
Once he arrived in front of him, he punched for his chest feeling it might be safer and did it lighter, however this time he only punched halfway through. Once he noticed this, he quickly grabbed the assailants heart and ripped it out of his body while gripping tightly as if to squeeze the life out of it.
He thought to himself while doing this. \'I have just essentially killed two people, and yet I really do not feel anything except grateful I could save us. I guess at least this way I do not have to worry about a guilty conscious, I mean I am in the right anyway.\'
Ding. Ding. Ding...

\'Hold on, the rewards are great and all, however what is this about life expectancy? Does this mean I could essentially live forever? If so, could I share it with someone as well?\' He asked the system through his thoughts.
"1. Host is currently 21 years old, however only has 10 years left to live if not killed by someone.
2. Yes, you essentially could.
3. Yes, so long as you either teach them a skill to lengthen their life or learn a skill to share yours. (Second one is highly unrecommended as the host can resurrect for the cost of a certain amount of years as well as have many other uses.)"
\'Well this just keeps getting better and better.\' He thought to himself, then saw four assailants pulling guns, and he quickly moved over and punched each of the four in the skull with all his strength. This caused their skulls to explode and red juices splattered everywhere.
----From flash grenade until now only about 10 seconds have passed.----
After he finished working on those four, he looked around for the other two then saw a weird looking van. He rushed over and they started driving away as he was about half way there. Yue then activated sprint and dash. In the next step he took he latched onto the vehicle then ripped of the door, climbed inside. One assailant shot him, however it only hit his left shoulder. Before he could pull the trigger again, his arm was missing and so was his trachea.
Next Yueliang said "Turn around and park where we where if you want to live immediately."
The driver did as he said, however the moment he parked he felt cold where his heart was. He went feeling his chest and found a hole there. Then a few moments later fell dead.
Yueliang, quickly ran out back to where Xue was lying on the ground trying to get back up. "Are you alright?" He asked very worriedly.
"I just lightly twisted my ankle, however I am more worried about you. It looks like you were shot, are you alright?" She asked
"Phfft. Hahah, you are adorable. You are completely unfazed by what happened, and are more worried about me. You really are the best girlfriend ever." He said as he picked her up in the princess carry, still having sprint and dash activated it only took a few seconds to arrive at the hospital.
Inside the emergency room: "Nurse, I need a nurse." Yueliang said loudly upon his arrival in the hospital. Moments after saying this a gurney was brought over and he layed Xue down on the gurney gently and said "She has a minor injury in her ankle. After you fix her up, I have been shot, so I need a bullet extraction, bone growth stimulant, and muscle growth stimulant."
----About 8 minutes later----
They walked out of the hospital hand in hand, smiling as thought nothing ever happened.
"Today has been a long and eventful day right?" Yueliang asking kind of jokingly.
"Quite true, however I am glad it happened. It let me get to know more about you. Also seeing you in action, you were so handsome. I kind of want to see it again. Is that bad?"
"I certainly do not think so. It was nice getting to save the beautiful princess from the filthy clutches of the bandits. Plus, now they are less likely to come after you again for at least a little while." Yueliang said confidently.
"Hehehe, You make it sound kind of like a game, I am glad we had fun." She giggled then spoke.
"So where to for our next adventure, princess Xue?" Yue asked in an excited tone.
"How about you choose my handsome prince, and knight in shining armor." Xue said while blushing and spinning with her arms out cutely with her skirt fluttering as she twirled.
She looks kind of like this: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/84365820
"Hmm, I say school first, then we can travel together all we want." Yueliang said, while thinking. \'Although I say that, I still have to think about Noblesse Oblige.\'
After a brief silence Xue spoke up, saying. "I am sure you are thinking about your service in the spatial wars. You do not have to go as you are a noble, however if you want to do it then I will join you so we can still be together."
"I could never ask you to do that, and if you go you might die. Then what would I do?" He said very sad yet seriously.
"That is what you are there for, to protect me." She said and then giggled.
"Well it is your choice, just please take it seriously. Whatever your choice may be I will try to support your decision." Yueliang said solemnly.
"Well anyway, we are almost back to the school so we should hurry back if we want to sleep well as it is getting late." Xue said trying to cheer Yue up.
----two minutes later----
"See you later Xue." Yueliang said as he dropped her off at her dorm.
"See you soon Yueliang." Xue replied.
---- a few moments later----
\'It is wonderful to be back at the dorms again. Although I still cannot wait to move out. This place makes me nostalgic, yet also feel uneasy.\' He thought to himself as he climbed back up to his bunk.

\'Store\' he nearly shouted.

Yueliang had to rub his eyes when he saw the cost of some of the skills, as he thought he was seeing things. Then he looked at mana willpower because he was curious as to why it could cost so much.
{Mana Willpower}
[Description: use with mana control to have perfect control over mana. If one has the mana body as well and hits 1000 minimum mana stat they will have the opportunity to take the divine spark of magic, or can just buy it from system. (Not recommended: as although it will be more powerful, system recommends the divine flame instead.)]
\'It seems I need the mana body for now, system Yang, are there any quests to earn Shop Coins quickly?\' He thought to himself.
