Jack and Dehya returned to the new stands.
Then the two walked in separate directions.
Jack returned to his seat, picked up the pampered Dori who had been 'pouted', and asked Nahida, who had changed from referee to scorekeeper,
"What's the score now?"
"11:7, Faruzan is leading."
"Oh? Senior's volleyball skills are that good?"
"Because she is Anemo, faster, and has a richer knowledge base. Even if she learns a sport for the first time, she can pick it up very quickly."
"That's true, after all, Faruzan was also a genius in Sumeru over a hundred years ago."
Genius, when used to describe a person, doesn't just mean how remarkable their achievements are in a certain aspect.
Such people are generally called masters.
A genius, on the other hand, refers to someone who, upon first contact with a certain type of thing, can grow to the level of a master at an extremely fast pace.
Understand one method, understand all methods.
Find the pattern, imitate it, and you can defeat most people who started from the same point.
Bang!
The volleyball, wrapped in a whirlwind, landed at an extremely fast speed, precisely in Nilou's blind spot, leaving her on the other side no time to save it. The volleyball smashed onto the sand.
"Th-that... 12:8. Five points are up, please exchange sides."
Nilou walked past the volleyball net with some frustration.
Dinazade saw this, felt a little sorry, and cheered her on.
"It's okay, Nilou, there's still a chance! I believe you can achieve ultimate victory!"
"Thank you, Dinazade, I understand. I even have to practice dancing for a long time; I'm actually a very clumsy person."
"Huh? What are you saying, little girl?!"
Faruzan, who had just walked past, heard this and immediately became displeased.
What she hated most were people who constantly wallowed in self-pity.
"Little girl, who do you think you're competing against?! I am Senior Faruzan, a genius graduate of the Akademiya from a hundred years ago! Someone who can fight me to such a standstill is actually feeling inferior?
Hmph! If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then who else will place their hopes in you?!"
Although the words were harsh and carried some self-praise.
But anyone with a discerning eye could hear the concern in her voice.
Nilou looked at Faruzan; this Senior, who claimed to be very old, also gave her an encouraging look.
"Thank you, I... I will try my best!"
"That's more like it."
The recognition from her opponent allowed Nilou to regain her confidence.
More than ten minutes later, the first set ended with a score of 21 to 17.
Although Nilou lost, the score was still quite close.
By the second round.
She won the match with a slight advantage when the score was 20 to 22.
Finally, it was the decisive third round.
The two, embodying the spirit of competition, chased each other, greatly extending the duration of this match, and only decided the final victor when the score reached 35:33.
Faruzan claimed the fruit of victory.
...
After the match, everyone came to the stands.
They cast teasing expressions at Faruzan.
"W-what are you all looking at me for? Isn't it only the ultimate winner of the match who gets kissed?"
"Look at their expressions. If only the ultimate winner truly gets a reward, do you think they wouldn't tear this place down?"
Jack retorted to Faruzan.
Faruzan thought carefully.
All the girls present, except her and Layla, were enchanted by this man's beauty, wanting to... kiss him.
If only one person could truly enjoy such a privilege, then perhaps the Blazing Mane and the Guardian of Aaru Village would flip the ground tens of meters high.
Even if she, Faruzan, was old-fashioned, she had heard of some famous people of this era.
In terms of combat power.
These two were no less formidable than the Grand Sage.
"Alright, hmm... I'll just pretend I was bitten by a mosquito. As a Senior, it's normal to give some preferential treatment to the juniors."
She tried hard to convince herself, then closed her eyes.
"Heh heh, as the victor, you can specify the time, place, and posture. You don't necessarily have to display it in front of everyone."
"What?! You should have said so earlier! I spent so long mentally preparing!"
Faruzan rolled her eyes at Jack.
Doesn't he know that a first kiss is very shy under everyone's gaze!
Nahida, Nilou, and Dori gave her strange looks.
Jack was clearly setting a trap, and this genius scholar actually willingly jumped into it.
However, this was not Faruzan's fault, but rather that Jack's methods were too bizarre, beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Jack smiled, took Faruzan's hand, and said meaningfully,
"Are you... ready to be entangled by me for a lifetime?"
"It's just a kiss! As a Senior, I've done it countless times a hundred years ago, hurry up!"
Buzz!
Faruzan only felt a buzzing in her mind.
Then her body seemed to pass through a thin membrane, and the stagnant feeling of being in a virtual world instantly disappeared.
"Hmm? Where is this?"
All around, birds chirped and flowers bloomed, and there was a small wooden house.
She clearly remembered she should have been on the beach with everyone!
"This is another world, and likewise, it is a world I created."
"!!"
Faruzan's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg in surprise.
What do you mean, a world you created?! Is Traveler's true identity actually a divine being who can do such things?
Faruzan: Oh no! I kept telling him to call me Senior before, now he's not trying to find an opportunity to teach me a lesson, is he?
"I won't teach you a lesson. At most, I'll instruct (train) you in some new knowledge."
"Instruct knowledge?"
Faruzan looked at Jack strangely: "Won't this be a waste of time? It's not good to make them wait too long."
"Didn't I say? This is in another world, so it's normal that time isn't synchronized with the other world, right?"
"It's very normal... not!"
Faruzan covered her chest in fear and retreated.
She had always thought Traveler was a true gentleman; although he had many female confidantes, he was still a rule-abiding person.
She never expected him to use his divine power to trick a weak woman like herself into such a place.
Without time limits.
Forget about preserving her chastity for over 100 years; by the time she got out, her children would probably be several months old!
Faruzan covered her cheeks, a strange, happy smile on her face.
"Your... imagination is a bit too rich, isn't it?"
Even without reading her mind, Jack knew what she was thinking. He had seen the same expression on Saiguu's face.
That was the expression of a desperate single woman who had been single for too long, finding her exclusive plug!
"What rich imagination! You don't know, those people at the Akademiya always slander me as an old fossil. It's nothing more than being trapped in the ruins for a long time and being a bit out of touch with modern teaching content. Not a single person comes to sign up for my courses, it's driving me crazy!"
"It seems like an older single woman with a strong desire to confide."
"(╬ ￣ dish ￣)"
Faruzan bared her teeth and glared at Jack.
This guy is so hateful, I really want to bite him!
"First, be careful if you bite me, don't accidentally chip your teeth, unless you separate, then you might be able to bite."
"Separate? How do I separate?"
"This brings us to the profound Teyvat Common Tongue. Look at the character 'bite'. After we separate..."
...
Two days later.
With a cry of pain, Faruzan ended her century-long virginity, officially becoming a wife.
