Chapter 352: A mountain made of letters of challenge (1/2)

On his way back to the villa, Wu Yan was frowning while thinking about something. It’s very evident that he’s deep in his thoughts as he didn’t notice the students pointing at him and whispering something.

If there’s anything he learned from the exchange with the exchange he had with the powers that be, it’s that the ladies and him are already targets of observation.

Wu Yan had expected a run-in with the top dogs of the government of this world sooner or later given the rate of growth of him and his companions, he just didn’t expect the meeting to be this quick.

Tier 8 individuals are nothing to brag about but a young tier 8 individual is someone to take to be destined to great heights in this world. A young tier 8 had the potential to grow further, perhaps they would one day stand eye-to-eye with the elders. It is only natural for the powers that be to keep track of this kind of youngsters.

Out of over 10 million young students who are beneath 25 years of age, only 3 of them stood at tier 8 strength.

At his side, there are already 2 known tier 8 individuals of such strength. In the elders’ point of reference, Astrea is someone who is possibly stronger than Sylph or Mikoto. Hence, the board of this school wanted to meet him.

Wu Yan felt a bit bewildered.

Mikoto and Ikaros are the ones who caught the attention of the Board. So, why did they not summon them?

Maybe they figured out that we are together? Or maybe, they think I’m an easier target?

“Sister Fei Fei! Lulu!”

He called out to the two girls who are currently talking with Mikoto, Ikaros, and Hinagiku. He’s pretty surprised at their sudden visit.

He had only met her elders and seeing Fei Fei and Lulu here actually made him a bit diffident. He’s also confused as to why he would feel like that.

“Yan (Master)!”

Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Ikaros quickly approached him. They scanned him up and down as if to check for injuries.

“Yan!”

Lulu lagged behind, it’s good to see that she’s still a ditz. When Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Ikaros had already scanned Wu Yan, she finally reacted.

“I say…”

Holding back to urge to retort, he knocked the girls’ heads.

“What’s with you girls? All I did was to go and see the eld… the Board. I am not going to slay dragons or anything, what’s with the reaction?”

“The Board!”

Fei Fei and Lulu gasped before Hinagiku and the other ladies can say anything.

Lulu dashed over to Wu Yan and she shouted questions at his face.

“Yan, did you say the Board?”

Wu Yan can feel her shout leaving ringing sounds in his ears. He shoved her face away with his palm.

“Tone down the surprise will ya!”

“That means…”

Lulu continued.

“You met with Granpa?”

“Yeah, I did.”

Wu Yan said in a slightly upset tone.

“Although it’s just a projection and not the real person himself…”

Wu Yan didn’t understand why Hinagiku, Mikoto, Lulu, and Fei Fei looked so surprised, he felt a bit speechless but he made his feelings known anyway.

“Why are you girls acting like it’s a big deal?”

Hinagiku pressed a palm against her head.

“We don’t know the capabilities of the Board, of course we are worried for you…”

“Yeah!”

Hinagiku examined Wu Yan one more time before she questioned him.

“Are you sure, you’re okay?”

“I’m fine, really!”

“And…”

Hinagiku continued.

“What did the Board want with you?”
