Chapter 287: Between the Elegance and Mystery of the Cosmos


    To a stunning-looking woman who seemed to have stepped out of the pages of a ssic novel. "Surprised to see me here?" She inquired, her voice as velvety as the deep and probing gaze she directed at Amon.


    The beautiful woman, in her early twenties, exuded an aura of authority and professionalism, despite her delicate appearance. Her hair, long and as ck as a cloudless night, cascaded down to the middle of her back. She wore a grey silk pencil skirt thatplemented a white satin blouse, apanied by ck stiletto heels, revealing discreet yet striking elegance.


    Her face was the focal point of her beauty, appearing as though it had been sculpted with an artist''s precision, as delicate and pure as the petal of the rarest rose. But it was the indifference she disyed, the coldness in her eyes contrasting with the gentleness of her features, that truly made her unforgettable. She resembled a precious gem, out of ce, shining brightly amongst the stones around her.


    A look of mixed surprise and recognition showed on Amon''s face. "Yes, I genuinely didn''t expect to find you here, Professor via."


    via''sughter echoed throughout the room, a soft and captivating melody that immediately caught the attention of all around. "Haha!" Her genuineughter lightened the atmosphere, filling it with a friendly aura. "Don''t be deceived, Amon. I am not the delicate flower many perceive me to be." With a subtle gesture of her gloved hand, she pointed in a direction. "I came at the request of my friend over there."


    Amon followed via''s gaze and, recognizing the friend she was referring to, gave a slight nod of acknowledgment. Shortly after, he watched her gracefully glide to the seat beside him, their closeness causing him to pause what he was doing. He was in the midst of an intriguing experiment, trying to amplify the Courage of those around him.


    via, with a curious and sharp look, asked, "And you, Amon? Why are you here, all by yourself? What happened to the youngdies who hardly ever leave your side?"


    "Academic duties are done for now, so I decided to take a stroll around the city. As for Barbara and the girls, they chose to stay at the university since they still had mandatory sses." Amon paused, his gaze distant for a moment: "As for why I ended up here... well, I was simply wandering the city and, somehow, found my way to this ce."


    via, poised in her demeanor, looked deep into Amon''s eyes. There was a calm and wisdom in her gaze, as if she carried the secrets of time. "You know, Amon," she began, her voice soft and filled with gravity, "it''s important, every now and then, to allow yourself to go out and explore the world on your own." She paused, as if gathering the right thoughts. "The universe," she continued, "even in its scope within just human realms, is vast beyondprehension. You should allow yourself to explore more, absorb more. There''s so much out there to learn."


    Amon, caught in the intensity of the moment, settled down on the park bench. He watched her, utterly engrossed, as she narrated tales of her journeys. Each story was richer and more captivating than thest, painting images of distant worlds, advanced civilizations, and cosmic wonders.


    Amon felt slightly unbnced by the experiences via shared. It seemed that every word from her carried a hint of the vastness and wonder of the universe.


    When via finally concluded, there was a silence between them. The weight of her words still hung in the air. Amon, with a trace of hesitancy in his voice, finally murmured, "Is the universe truly that vast?"


    The sparkle in via''s eyes said it all. Amon, unknowingly, had just embarked on a journey that would go beyond his imagination, all thanks to the mesmerizing stories shared by via.


    Amon had always seen via as an almost mythical figure, an enigmatic person difficult to approach. However, as he spent more time with her, his perception began to shift. He felt that the aura surrounding her was different from what he''d imagined, and there was a hidden vulnerability deep within her, making the experience of being in her presence entirely different from what he expected.


    The depth and mystery in via''s temperament, instead of pushing him away, had the opposite effect. They drew him closer to her, much like a ma. It was an unexpected attraction, given Amon''s confidence in his own ability to resist female charms, especially since he was often surrounded by notably beautiful women. But with via, it was different. It was more than just her looks; it was the whole package.


    She possessed a rarebination of features. Breathtaking beauty, a deep and reflective mind, and a regal presence that few could match. And, despite her youth, evident in her radiant skin and lively eyes, she exhibited a wisdom andmunicative ability that were unparalleled. All of this,bined with her high gic level and a vast set of skills and knowledge, made via a force to be reckoned with and, undoubtedly, someone Amon was genuinely fascinated by.


    Even the meticulous Professor Kaia, known for her reserve and rare praises, had once recognized via''s merits, speaking positively about her in Amon''s presence.


    When asked by Amon, via showed a slight reaction, unexpected by him. A subtle smile lit up her face, and with a calm and captivating voice, she said, "Why don''t you go out and discover the vastness of the universe for yourself?"


    Amon''s reply came with a certain determination. "I definitely will." In fact, it was already his n to traverse the cosmos. However, the conversation with via only further fueled his desire to explore and know the unknown.


    She nodded affirmatively, saying with captivating naturalness, "You really should." And she added, emphasizing the weight of her experience, "If you want to be stronger and broaden your horizons, there''s no better way than diving into the universe''s mysteries. That''s where true learning and strengthening lie."


    In the central square, enveloped by the festival''s brightness and noise, via and Amon had created a bubble of intimacy. The lights from the stalls and theughter of passersby seemed distant as they talked. However, a distant call managed to break that connection, making via look away. "I have to go, Amon," she said, with a hint of reluctance. "My friend is calling me. But know that I cherished every second of our conversation." And as she bid farewell, her face was lit with a smile as radiant as the stars in the sky.


    Amon, captivated by that simple gesture, replied with a spontaneous smile, the sincerity shining in his eyes. "The pleasure was mutual, via."


    She giggled, the sound cheerful and mischievous. "If it was that good, how about we continue our conversation on Chat-GC?" And before Amon could answer, she approached, cing her delicate finger on his lips, silencing him with a gentle touch. "However," she whispered, her eyes staring into his with a mix of challenge andplicity, "this stays just between us. Agreed?"


    Caught off guard, Amon simply swallowed, his emotions in a whirl. He quickly nodded, confirming the silent agreement between them. After a quick exchange of contacts, via walked away, moving with grace and confidence. Amon watched her, noticing that even from behind, her aura radiated an energy so powerful that it made the hearts around her beat faster.
