171 Golden Lion HighSchool

The destination wasn't too far. Mark and Adam walked for about 15 minutes from their school to the Golden Lion Highschool.

"...That's a strange design." [Adam]

The school had many separate buildings labed in roman numerals, along with statues of lions.

"I forgot to mention, this is a competitive private school. Each person here is quite prideful, so…" [Mark]

"They're going to be annoying aren't they." [Adam]

Mark nodded.

"Can't be helped. Let's pick up the pace so we don't have to be here longer than we have to." [Mark]

The two moved as fast as walking could take them, all the way to the school's own disciplinary committee. Opening the door, Adam saw three people.

"Coming in~." [Mark]

As they entered Adam observed his surroundings. The first person was a brown haired boy lounging about whilst listening to music. The second was a blonde student with glasses working away on a desk. The last one was a bald guy lifting weights in the corner.

("This… is a pretty weird group setup.") [Adam]

None of them paid Adam or Mark any mind except for the blonde student.

"...Mark?" [Blonde Student]

"In the flesh. How're you doing Klein?" [Mark]

The blonde student sighed.

"Overworked… Who's that behind you?" [Klein]

"Oh, him? He's Adam. A temporary member in our disciplinary committee." [Mark]

After the short introduction, Klein stood up from his desk and came over.

"Nice to meet you Adam, name's Klein." [Klein]

He stuck out a hand, expecting a handshake.

"Uh… The pleasure's mine." [Adam]

Returning the favor, Adam shook his hand.

"Cool, cool. My members probably won't introduce themselves, so I'll do it for them." [Klein]

Smiling brightly, he pointed out the other two people in the room.

"The one listening to music is Micheal, and the one working out is Erik." [Klein]

"Sup~." [Micheal]

"Hmph!" [Erik]

Seeing how they reacted, Adam didn't feel too welcomed.

"Anyway, you must be pretty strong. I could feel it in your grip." [Klein]

"Eh… I'm-" [Adam]

"You have good eyes. Adam here is in fact a champion of the first years. Not to mention he beat the champion of the second and third years." [Mark]

Interrupting Adam, Mark started praising him.

"He beat… Who?" [Klein]

"Luis and all the third year champions." [Mark]

Klein was beginning to look very impressed.

"So he beat Orsted and those twin sisters? I'm truly impressed." [Klein]

"Wait, actually I-" [Adam]

The sound of weights dropping cut Adam off, and Erik approached Adam.

"You must be pretty strong. What's your level?" [Erik]

At this point, even Micheal turned off his music to listen.

"...Level one?" [Adam]

All three members of Golden Lion's disciplinary committee made a very disgusted expression.

"...You're joking, right?" [Klein]

"No…?" [Adam]

Klein Took out a handkerchief, choosing to wipe the hand he used to greet Adam.

"...What a waste of time." [Erik]

Turning around, he returned to lifting weights. As for Micheal, he simply turned his music back on.

"...Mark. You're one thing, but to bring a level one here…?" [Klein]

Looking at Adam with a disgusted face, Klein backed away.

"Klein, Adam is strong. It doesn't matter what level-" [Mark]

"Silence! You expect me to work with this… this lesser?!" [Klein]

"Klein!" [Mark]

Grabbing Klein's collar, Mark locked eyes with him.

"Adam. Is. Strong. It doesn't matter." [Mark]

"Heh. I doubt it." [Klein]

Mark pushed Klein back and scoffed.

"Why don't you test it?" [Mark]

"Test what? How to beat a weakling? Sorry, but I don't have the hobby of beating a dead horse." [Klein]

Mark didn't seem very happy to hear that.

"How about you Erik?" [Mark]

"...Hmph." [Erik]

Ignoring Mark, he continued his work out.

"Uh… Mark? It's fine-" [Adam]

"Ah, of course Erik would ignore me. He's scared because he knows Adam will win." [Mark]

Immediately dropping his weights, Erik approached Mark.

"I won't let that slide." [Erik]

"Is that so? Then try arm wrestling Adam." [Mark]

"Huh?" [Adam]

Erik glanced at Adam, then turned back to Mark

"He's too feeble. He'll break." [Erik]

"You mean you'll break?" [Mark]

"You…" [Erik]

Keeping silent, he grabbed a nearby table.

"Fine. C'mon bean sprout, I'm going to put you into the ground." [Erik]
