The Astral Pet Store
Chapter 88's
Astral Pet Store – Chapter 88
“Someone wants to see us?”
Su Yanying and Su Ping had yet to get off the stage when an academy manager walked up and invited them to the office building, saying that an important man was waiting for them.
Su Yanying more or less knew who this important “man” was, because he had met him many times when his Lightning Rat made his name. And he felt excited to know what kind of praise he was getting after his brilliant rat performance.
He had only spent 10,000 astral coins in Su Ping's shop to train his pet, which greatly benefited him by defeating the seventh rank Thunder Basilisk instantly. Every time he thought about this, he could not help but feel grateful.
Then he was frightened when he saw Su Ping already sitting down while helping himself with the hot tea.
This is the Vice School Head's office!
Su Yangying found it hard to stand up properly while waiting for Vice School Head like that. However, Su Ping had already made himself at home.
“Get—bangun—build from there,” urgently fast. He did not want Su Ping to leave a bad first impression.
Su Ping was looking the other way while examining the Purple-tailed Divine Phoenix painting on the wall. Just like the statue at the academy gate, this one also seemed to be the work of a master. It's just that the phoenix doesn't look that great. After all, it was only the Beast King.
“What?” Su Ping heard the warning and slowly stood up, as he thought Su Yanying was calling out to him.
“Vice Principal will be here soon. You don't want him to see you like that!”
Su Ping sat down again. “What's the problem? Someone asked me to come, just to keep me waiting. Not that I need to ask for any help. You know what? I'll leave if he doesn't show up soon.”
Su Yanying decided not to argue because it made sense. Moreover, the Vice Principal might ask for it. He did not know who Su Ping was or care how he behaved.
“Someone came,” said Su Ping while sharpening his ears.
At the same time, Su Yanying heard footsteps approaching and his heart skipped a beat; he quickly straightened himself in a place that seemed to be right beside the sofa.
The office door was pushed open, but no one entered. It seemed that anyone who had just arrived took the time to check out what was happening in the room.
“Mi—Master Vice Principal, Sir!” Su Yanying quickly uttered it after seeing not just one, but several mighty figures outside, which only doubled his mental pressure. As someone who had just gone through a lot in the academy, he managed to show his manners with a polite smile.
An old man walking in front of the group nodded back with a friendly smile and looked for another “tamu” in the office, only to see Su Ping head partially hidden behind the backrest of the sofa.
He wondered how Su Ping would react if he, as an elder, gave him a good reminder not to slack off like that when someone important was present.
“Ehem. Welcome, Mr...?”
By doing this, Dong Mingsong intended to announce his arrival and have his assistant leave.
Su Ping stood up so that he did not look too impolite. He was slightly surprised to see a total of seven people waiting behind the old man. Each of them more or less had a battle scar somewhere on their bodies. One of them even cut off the tip of his nose, which made him seem like a monstrous skeleton. This man will definitely scare the children, that's for sure.
“Greetings opener.” Su Ping slightly nodded.
But how?
They realized that the young man they saw was not a student of the academy.
Dong Mingsong thought the same thing and felt her mood decline. “Are you a student here, Son?”
“No.” Su Ping shook his head.
The other visitors quickly made their own plans.
Meanwhile, Dong Mingsong felt extremely disappointed that he no longer had the right to decide which team could accept Su Ping. The presence of Su Ping meant nothing to the academy.
A woman with red hair spoke up, “Seeing from your age, you're a first-class kid, right? What school did you study at?”
“Currently I do not accept any teaching.”
“You....what?”
As they discussed earlier, this young man could be a better talent than Ye Hao. Someone like this has no proper education?
Dong Mingsong's eyes sparkled. “What's your name, young man? Are you perhaps interested in coming here? I'm able to give you free tuition, living expenses, self-catering dorms, and even an advanced Astral Pet dog after you graduate. Or even an adult, if you have good grades. What the hell are you saying? If you answer yes, I can complete the registration today so you can start your lesson tomorrow!”
Dong Mingsong spoke too quickly, never giving others a chance to say otherwise. Back then, they could only throw hateful gazes at the old man's back.
Meanwhile, Su Yanying listened with a look of disbelief.
Vice School Head invited Su Ping to the academy? Free any? A nice pet as a gift? Why have I never heard of this before??
The reduction in tuition fees is a common well-being that is usually afforded to bright students. But even the top scorer can't get an advanced pet for free!
Su Yanying began to wonder if the old president was sane that day.
Moreover, he should be the one in the spotlight. Why did everyone even see Su Ping? Did they already know that Su Ping was the coach of the Lightning Rat?
On the other hand, Su Ping was somewhat dissatisfied with the offer. Luo Guxue had invited him to become an honorary professor in the academy, yet this old man offered him a lower place.
“Sorry, but not.”
