Chapter 119 Nitpicker’s Business
"My team opened this gate. That means no one goes through without our say," Asphalt announced clearly.
The crowd, which had been cheerful just moments ago, fell into a tense silence, their expressions turning sour.
A girl from the group was the first to speak up.
"This isn’t right. We’re all from the same Academy, the same batch. In the future, we’ll have to rely on each other. Blocking the path like this—doesn’t that make you a selfish jerk who only cares about himself?"
Others quickly chimed in:
"She’s right. Just because you opened the door doesn’t mean you get to monopolize it. The Ruin is part of everyone’s test!"
"Alright, let’s just force our way in!"
The crowd stirred, and several students surged forward and slipped through the gate.
But Zane and Asphalt stood back this time, silently observing.
The twins exchanged a glance, frowned, and patted their beast.
The giant boar roared and immediately charged. With a single headbutt, it sent the ten students who had entered flying back out of the gate.
"Didn’t you hear what the Nitpicker just said?" Dan—the stunning girl among the twins—spoke with a cold snort, her voice loud and commanding. "If you didn’t, let me make it crystal clear. None of you are allowed to pass through this gate. And if anyone dares step inside again... the next punishment will be far more brutal."
