Bai Li's doings were out of common sense. When being hired, usually one wants to be chosen by the mega corporations and be well known. He turned down all his chances to join any and thought it was rather useless to do so.
"Why are you guys so mad?"
"Do you know what you just did?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
Many students were biting down on their sleeves and watched in rage at the man in front, joining any of those organizations would already skyrocket their fame, society's stand point, and wealth. It also designated their strengths and talents, which would be natural to the geniuses. All of the students that were present were just students working for Academy Credits to buy needed resources without any experiences outside. But the man in front of them, who just so happened to be younger than them already graduated with all minimum requirements, which takes the average of a year was finished in just six months.
Feeling that one was inferior to that of the younger generation would definitely be harsh for the faint of heart. But that mindset usually inhibits growth of development, so nobody would openly announce their pains. Its all the more as the younger generation was incredibly weak at the moment due to the wars.
The students all had pained faces and according to the teachers, they had them as well. But just as they thought that they were done, Khu Bei appeared, walking down the great hall towards the crowd.
The amount of reverence was the same as any other as they all dispersed after bowing towards the School Dean, denying someone that is an Peak tier Evolver was harsh to novices, as his mere presence could make one collapse in mental shock.
Bai Li cupped his hands and bowed.
"Oho, it seems you can take on my pressure." He chuckled a great hefy cough.
Many students would never the onsluaght from his murderous aura around him, as if a star that never dies out. But one could tell if it was increasing slowly. The Great Sun Body that he trained for two thousand years was paying its toll, his energy was dormant, if they didn't bind his power to the First Gate, his age potency would only amount for another decade. The fact that he was a Dean in the First Gate showed the Union had some responsibilities coming for their military officials who work on the field, he would be allowed the physique of a Peak tier Warrior, but with his great techniques, he should be able to battle any other except a few, he's not the first that came to the First Gate to prolong their deaths due to harmful cultivation techniques and Arts of Body.
"Thank you or your words of praise Master Khu."
Bai Li was also similar of that to of normal people, the natural reverence to greater powers, which comes as faith or fear. He loved those who worked hard for themselves and not those who abuse their powers, Khu Bei was naturally one of the top, as he was rurally known in the Golden Star Planet and resides there.
"Congratulations on your choices, I respect all wishes of our graduates and hope to see you making a mark in history."
"I will try."
It was a honest answer, but he didn't really want to be something that catches their eye far beyond.
"See you, you are always welcome to come back whenever, who knows, might even encourage the newer generations."
"If that time comes, I will definitely participate."
He smiled, Khu Bei left with that phrase which meant he was now free to do anything.
He decided to stay an extra day to say farewells, hang out with Wei Tao for a bit and start his journey.
However that choice would give him the opposite of what he wished for.
Both Bai Li and Wei Tao were all hanging out at the cafeteria. Bai Li had registered as a guest so it would only be valid until midnight. If he was spotted in the general vicinity of the compound, he would be arrested or be subdued by guards.
"To think you already have a girlfriend, you grow up so fast."
A tear was shed from Bai Li as he spoke to his friend. Wei Tao spoke back in a frenzied matter.
"Why does that matter, you already graduated while Im stuck here in the gutter."
He nudged him on the shoulder. Both shared their good laughs, activities, and ate out.
They were gonna walk off to the front entrance as it was already reaching the end of the day.
The night life in the academy was bustling as usual, but they all halted, a small limousine was parked right in front, the guards were very respectful as it occupied their positions. The amount of respect was peculiar.
"Did some powerhouse come inside or something?"
Wei Tao replied.
But little did they know this vehicle was for him.
Two men, one female and one male, came out wearing identical trenchcoat. Various materials were used in the crafting of the trenchcoat. It was dark blue in color and with its resilience, was definitely expensive. People usually wearing blue belonged to the Union, all the students revered them. But the most defined detail of their characters.
They spotted Bai Li from miles away and awaited for their arrival, their heightened senses were not to be trifled with.
"Bai Li, we are sent by the Bright Star League."
They took a badge with a white star. Which read in a rather old dialect of the language.
Dating back to the start of the Union Calendar, when translated carefully and with proper knowledge, read:
The Star which shines over many.
"We are here to escort you to our quarters."
Many people began rioting over their introduction and screamed as loudly as they can by their introduction. The most prestigious group in the Union that was a collection of geniuses of multiple generations. They were funded by all major corporations and even the Union, though they do not own it. All knew it as similar of that of a secret service with no affiliations.
