72 Sparkling (1/2)
After witnessing such a large display of power, Ye Qin and Wang Tao made their decision to join the Battle Peak. Though in Ye Qin's case he had other ideas in which he would need to discuss with the principal in person
The two brothers stood up from their seats and directly walked up to the central building directly below the Battle Tower. Not only the two of them, but the other first years who were on the peak at the time rushed into the building going through the two brothers who took their time whilst enjoying the scenery
”Jeez what's the rush? They're gonna have to take a test anyway, what's the point in rushing?” Wang Tao couldn't help to say out loud. As soon as he finished speaking, a student who was running bumped into him
Crash*
The student fell on the ground and looked up at Wang Tao who reached out and said ”You alright? No need to be in such a hurry.”
The female student grabbed his hand and wiped the bottom of her skirt before bowing down and apologised to him before running into the building without looking back
”...”
”...”
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled wryly as they made their way inside the building
…
Just outside the door of the central building, a large sign that read 'Battle Peak Lobby' could be seen with statues of golden lions on each side. Not only that, the door handles resembled lion heads
Ye Qin walked in followed by Wang Tao as they are scanned by the system at the entrance. When they step foot into the building, a long line awaited them as a large amount of students all excited lined up
The two brothers joined the queue as they spent their time talking or researching on their smart watches until it was their turn
…
”Next!” the rough middle aged voice of one of the receptionists called them. Ye Qin and Wang Tao went up as their data was displayed before the man. ”Ah Gold Stars?! With your privileges you two can skip the test and directly join any Peak without going through anything troublesome” the man said with a slight look of surprise as he tapped away at his screen before allowing the two to leave the queue
”Thanks.” Ye Qin said as the two went back to their dorms without checking out the other peaks. When they arrived at the Gold Star Dorm, Su Guiying and Jia Yazhu were talking in the living room
”Hey.” Wang Tao greeted them as the two brothers walked to the living space and sat down to chat with the two girls
”Did you guys decide which peak to join? Also it looks like Gold Stars are able to join any peak without taking the test.” Jia Yazhu asked
”Yup, both of us joined the Battle Peak. We need to get stronger as quickly as we can.” Wang Tao replied
The two girls had a puzzled expression, Jia Yazhu continued ”Why do you need to get strong quickly?”. ”Well, we plan to get permission from the university to give us permits to enter the Abandoned Lands as well as meet the requirements to join the expedition.” Wang Tao replied solemnly
