Legends of Runeterra

Sensing the aura of the amulet given to Akali, Kennen rushed towards the back mountain.

After reaching a certain distance, Kennen canceled his ultimate move 'Thunder Armor' and reappeared in a purple ninja suit.

I walked silently along the ancient stone steps until I saw the two figures.

The breeze blew through the woods. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, the black-haired young man rested his head on the girl's thighs. The picture was harmonious and beautiful.

However, Kenan felt his temples throbbing as he watched this scene.

Since the Meimu couple were away on missions for a long time, Akali had been growing up under the care of many believers.

Among them, the one who accompanied Akali the most and for the longest time was undoubtedly the leader of the 'Sun Chaser' school - 'Heart of Fury' Kennen!

So to Kennen, Akali is like his own daughter who he raised.

The naughty and active girl in the past was now kneeling quietly on the ground, with a black-haired young man resting his head on her thighs.

Although the title of "Raging Heart" was given to him by his followers who saw him fighting thousands of years ago, Kenan has become a mature and stable Yordle over the years.

But looking at the scene before him, Kenan's calm heart began to violently start to act violently again.

It was just the smile on Akali's lips that made Kennen temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart.

"Ahem~!"

A strange and artificial cough sounded, and Akali looked up subconsciously.

"Ah! Kenan! You're finally back!"

Akali's surprised voice woke Li En up, and at the same time a slight chill surged into his heart, making Li En, who was still a little dazed, instantly sober up.

He stood up suddenly and looked in the direction where the cold came from.

A small figure wrapped in a purple ninja suit stood there, looking at him quietly with his blue-purple eyes.

Seeing Li En leave, Akali, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up quickly and ran to Kennen's side.

Kennen, who noticed Akali's thoughts, wanted to dodge, but when he saw the girl's joyful yet worried look, he finally chose to stand still.

Two small hands skillfully passed through Kennen's arms, and Kennen, who was about one meter tall, was lifted into the air by Akali and started spinning in circles.

Li En, who was not far away, was checking the legendary rank on Kennen's panel, while watching the scene of Akali holding him and spinning around like a child, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

As Akali's value soared rapidly, Li En, who vaguely understood what he had done, thought rapidly in his mind.

'The will-o'-the-wisp boy was caught by the muscle boss on the spot. How can he save himself?'

After giving up this inexplicable thought, Li En felt a little flustered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

After spinning around a few times to vent her excitement, Akali lowered Kennen back to the ground.

"Kainen, this is Brother Li En, the Dragon Master of this generation of Shuoji Temple! He really saved our Kinkou Sect once!

Brother Li En, this is Kenan, the leader of the Sun Chaser school and my good friend!"

Standing in the middle, Akali introduced the two to each other.

Kenan nodded, and then didn't say anything. He looked at Li En quietly without saying a word.

"Li En of Shuoji Temple, greetings to Lord Kennen of the Wild Heart!"

"Hmm...you are this generation's Dragon Master!?"

"Of course, I am!"

Li En smiled slightly, and a trace of "dragon power" swirled around his body several times.

Sensing this pure "power of the dragon", Kennen showed a meaningful smile on his face.

Kennen, who had come into contact with and even fought alongside many 'Dragon Lords', could immediately tell that Li En had a different aura.

"Lord Kenan, is there something wrong with me?"

Facing Kenan's amusement-filled eyes, Li En felt a little uneasy.

"Nothing, but Li En, you are a little more special than I thought!"

"Of course, Brother Li En was chosen by the Dragon Spirit!"

Akali took a step forward, and the girl's energetic words completely broke the delicate atmosphere.

"By the way, Kenan, what took you so long to come back? Did you run into any danger? Are you injured?"

Akali said this and was about to reach out to pull Kennen's clothes off.

"Snapped!"

Kenan patted it lightly.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"I shouldn't have let you be so presumptuous just now, Akali, don't think I don't know what you want to do. I am your elder!"

"What? I just wanted to see if you were hurt, hum~!"

Akali's plan to take the opportunity to rub Kennen's furry head failed. Her face remained expressionless and she turned her head away pretending to be a little angry.

"Okay, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. I'm fine.

It just took me so long to look up a lot of information."

"What information?"

"They are all written in ancient Ionian. If you want to read them, Akali, I will sort them out and have the believers send you a copy. How about that?"

"Woo~! Forget it, I don't want to know these things!"

Akali's face wrinkled and she waved her hands in front of her quickly.

"You, I knew you would do this!"

"hey-hey!"

Li En, who was standing aside, looked at this warm yet slightly weird scene with a slight smile on his face.

"Kennan, you just came back from outside. How is the Noxian invasion going?"

"You reminded me, Li En, that a Noxian army of tens of thousands of people is burning, killing and looting along the way, and their route target is directly towards Presidium. Please go to the Stargazing Hall to discuss it!"

"Oh!? Lord Kenan, have you found out the name of their leader?"

"As for the name... I think it's Du something? Du... Dukouer!"

"Dukouer?"

"Yes, that's the name!"

"Okay, thank you Master Kenan!"

Li En bowed and turned to look at Akali.

"Sorry Akali, I'll stop here for today!"

"Yeah, it's okay, Brother Li En, please go over quickly!"

...

Looking at Li En's receding back, Kenan said with some curiosity.

"Akali, can you tell me what happened on that day? And what kind of person is Li En?"

"Of course, Kenan, Brother Li En..."

Akali narrated bit by bit everything that happened that day. When the girl was in desperate situation and one of her parents was dead and the other was injured, a figure fell from the sky.

It tore apart the roof of the stargazing retreat room, and shattered the girl's despair.

Later, during their time together, Li En was knowledgeable, gentle, humorous, and had unhesitating trust in Akali.

As Akali spoke, Kennen's eyes sparkled with an unprecedented light.

"The child seems to have grown up~!"

Thinking back to Li En's overly handsome appearance, Kenan felt inexplicably angry and relieved.

Of course, that little bit of relief only lasted for less than a second and was instantly replaced by a strong sense of dissatisfaction.
