"Come to my office." Zhao Xinran gave the two bewildered boys a meaningful smile.
"Man, did we get in trouble or something?" Wang Yao asked, shrinking his neck.
Ye Qing shook his head unconcernedly. "If the teacher wants to see me, it's definitely something good. As for you... that's harder to say."
They entered the office. The other teachers had already left work, leaving just the three of them in the empty room.
Zhao Xinran took an envelope from a drawer and said, "Impressive work. I've already heard about what happened at Black Rock Mountain.
"This is your reward from the school. Each of you can choose one move manual or TM from the skills held in the school's collection."
"A reward?"
Wang Yao immediately sighed in relief. He had thought he was in trouble just a moment ago.
Zhao Xinran picked up her small shoulder bag and told them, "All right, here's your authorization. Take it with you, and you can go make your choices."
Looking at the prettily dressed Zhao Xinran, Wang Yao couldn't help asking, "Where are you going, Miss?"
"Come on, let's go."
Ye Qing was genuinely afraid Wang Yao would ask for trouble. Before he could finish, Ye Qing dragged him outside.
Looking at the sunset, Wang Yao sighed. "Ah, I wonder what TMs they have in the collection. It'd be perfect if they had Hyper Beam."
Normally, the school's skill section was not open to students. Only those who had made outstanding contributions to the school were allowed to choose rewards there.
"In your dreams. Hyper Beam, seriously?" Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him. All he ever thought about was unrealistic stuff.
The collection's caretaker was an elderly woman with graying hair, who was sitting in a chair quietly reading a book.
"Ma'am."
