Chapter 117 Teaming Up- part two
Zane narrowed his eyes. This wasn’t a team. This was a statement.
He scanned the stats of both the twins and their mount. Their personal power wasn’t what caught his attention—it was the beast.
"A Two-Star core corrupted beast," he muttered. "We just passed through the village gates, and I didn’t see a single beast nearby. Are they sourcing them locally and managing to tame them here?"
"They did tame it right here on this planet," Asphalt replied with a proud chuckle. "Pretty impressive, huh? Of course, they couldn’t have done it without my help. Even without the beast, they’re strong."
That comment caught the attention of the crowd.
Many top-ranked students turned their mana scans toward the twins and their beast. Most frowned after analyzing it.
Some began discussing whether they should invite the twins to their teams.
Others immediately objected—everyone knew the twins were notoriously difficult to deal with. Getting a civil word from them was rare. Only the Nitpicker himself could get through to them—and even then, they weren’t exactly friendly.
The twins dismounted right before Asphalt.
The boar-like beast growled, clearly displeased by the numerous mana scans directed at it. Its saber-like teeth gleamed as it bared them at the crowd, ready to attack.
A chubby boy stepped forward and gently stroked the beast’s head. "Calm down, Little Piggie," he said soothingly. "I get it. These people make me uncomfortable too. Just be patient."
At his touch, the beast visibly relaxed, moaning softly before collapsing onto the ground with a lazy thud.
