Aoki finished his work.
The advanced trainers didn't go up to check the result of the Energy Cube right away.
Instead, it was Jiubao who stood up with a serious expression. He stared at Qing Mu and asked, "Qing Mu, who is your teacher?"
This was a question they had to ask now.
They had to make sure that Aoki was safe. As part of the upper management of the Alliance, they knew about the relationship between the Alliance and the Rocket Team.
It wasn't the first time that the two sides had planted spies in each other.
Some of them could be discovered, while others had yet to be discovered.
If Aoki didn't have a reasonable identity, no matter how talented Aoki was, they wouldn't invest a lot of resources in him.
Aoki's expression didn't change. After all, he was someone with some background in the Alliance.
"My teacher's name is Yagyuu Gang," Aoki said.
"Gang?" Jiu Bao and Qi Bao couldn't help but ask.
Gang???
What the hell?
Aoki was dumbfounded.
However, the ten senior trainers were relieved.
Yagyuu Gang didn't like power but he was quite famous in the circle of trainers.
At least, Jiu Bao and Qi Bao had to admit that they weren't as good as Yagyuu Gang.
But a student from Yagyuu Gang had reached such a high level.
It was decided!
He wouldn't go to the next Advanced Trainer Conference that was held once every three years!
Otherwise, he would be devastated.
They didn't ask Yagyuu Gang to confirm Aoki's identity but they believed him.
If the Rocket Team or some other organization really wanted to send someone to the Alliance, would they be willing to do that?
Besides, Yagyuu Gang didn't care about the Alliance but he was reliable. He wouldn't have accepted Aoki as his student without investigating his background, no matter how talented Aoki was.
When they heard Yagyuu Gang's name, those who knew about it all looked surprised, while those who didn't know were at a loss.
That was to say, Yagyuu Gang's name was only known to some of the higher-ups in the Alliance.
Normal people wouldn't know Yagyuu Gang's name.
It was unlikely that Aoki knew Yagyuu Gang's name since it was his first time taking the test.
However, just to be on the safe side, Qi Bao still made a look at the mirror, indicating that he should check it out.
Then, the ten of them began to comment on Aoki's Energy Cube.
They had never seen Energy Cubes before, but they were all advanced trainers. They could tell the difference between good and bad Energy Cubes.
In the end, the ten of them unanimously agreed that there was no problem.
Suddenly, Qi Bao's phone rang.
Seventh Castle didn't want to pick it up, but when he saw the number on the screen, he could only smile bitterly at Ninth Castle before pressing the answer button.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the phone.
"Little Seven! What?! My disciple went to your place for the assessment, and you still think there's something wrong with his identity? Do you want to investigate? Or have you begun to suppress the newcomers? "Aoki heard Yagyuu Gang's voice clearly.
Apparently, Yagyuu Gang was familiar with Seventh Castle and Ninth Castle. They didn't seem angry at all when they heard his words and tone.
Qi Bao said, "Little Gang …"
"What Little Gang? Who are you to call Little Gang? Call him Brother Gang! "Yagyuu Gang interrupted Qi Bao.
It was the first time that Aoki had heard Yagyuu Gang speak in such a tone.
Did his teacher reveal his true colors when he met someone his age?
"Ahem. Your disciple is still here." Qi Bao cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment.
As a matter of fact, Yagyuu Gang was better than him in terms of seniority and ability. Even though Yagyuu Gang didn't use his full strength, he was still an honorary elder of the Trainers Association. Qi Bao, on the other hand, was only the vice chairman of the Trainers Association branch in Jinhuang City. His position was higher than Yagyuu Gang's.
As a matter of fact, Yagyuu Gang could be regarded as half of Su Ping's teacher. It was just that the two of them were about the same age, so they were both friends and teacher.
"Oh, I see." Yagyuu Gang's voice turned cold all of a sudden.
Aoki tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Still, Aoki was surprised that Yagyuu Gang called him right away.
It seemed that this cheap teacher of his was not bad.
Then, Qi Bao took out his phone and talked to Yagyuu Gang for a while, saying that there was no problem.
Then, he hung up.
Qi Bao glanced at Aoki with a strange expression.
He called Jing over and whispered something in his ear. Then, he noticed that Jing was looking at Aoki with a strange look as well.
Aoki was confused. What did that mean?
What did his teacher say?
Aoki was not the only one who was confused. Everyone else was confused as well.
But those advanced trainers were fine. At least they could ask.
Qi Bao explained to those people in a low voice with a strange expression.
Suddenly, the ten people looked at Aoki with a strange look.
Aoki felt goosebumps all over his body. It was weird to be looked at by a bunch of old men and women in their fifties or sixties.
For some reason, the old ladies all took out their mirrors and tidied up their makeup.
Even the old men stroked their thin hair, as if that would make them look more handsome.
Under such a strange atmosphere, Aoki was restless.
Fortunately, Jing was very efficient. He didn't keep Aoki waiting for too long.
A few people carrying cameras walked in quickly, followed by a large group of reporters and photographers.
At the same time, he didn't know where Jin got a banner from.
It said, "Congratulations to Master Yagyuu Gang's student, the sixteen-year-old Aoki, the youngest intermediate trainer in history!"
Okay.
That was quite a warm celebration.
Was it to celebrate him, or was it to show off his teacher, Yagyuu Gang?
To give his old friends the thrill of a group.
Aoki watched as he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
They were about to stuff microphones into his mouth.
That was what his teacher said.
Make him famous?
Then, use his fame to force the Alliance to open a training hall in Fuye Town?
It seems to be quite reliable, but can these reporters not be like this? Did they want him to eat the microphones?
Those cameras were shining so brightly that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Aoki had lived for three lifetimes and this was the first time he had been exposed to the spotlight. He was not used to it.
That being said, if he could make it popular, not only would Fuye Town become more popular in the future, but it would also provide him with a safer identity in the Alliance.
At the very least, no one would investigate his identity in the Alliance.
After all, the Alliance had been promoting Aoki as the next president of the Trainers Association.
If they were to announce that Aoki was a member of the Rocket Team, the Alliance's reputation would be ruined.
That was to say, as long as no one exposed Aoki's identity, Aoki would definitely be able to rise to the top of the Alliance.
Besides, the Alliance wouldn't buy Aoki's identity even if some people wanted to.
Otherwise, those geniuses in the Alliance wouldn't be able to stay in the Alliance anymore.
They would be investigating this and that all day long.
How could they train and grow in peace?
