Legendary Traveler: By Earning Progress Points I will Become Supreme! Chapter 155 Right This Way, Traveler Thurston (4)

For so ti, the sounds of a single pistol being rapidly fired and reloaded, accompanied by several explosions, took over the massive Gymnasium; however, not a single person seed to be reacting.

Of Course, the constant yelling and back-and-forth bickering between Staff Sergeant Lewis and Principal Gavver could also be heard as they spat every curse in the book at each other, but even if their battle was heated, not a single person moved to interject.

Not because they had a choice, but instead because it was a losing battle; they were both far beyond the capabilities of re foot soldiers such as themselves, and even the Academy Staff were left scratching their heads.

anwhile, Aoni stood in place, looking at the ground, wondering if it was a better idea to turn around and jump back into the Flu or stay put and accept his fate.

Never in his wildest dreams did the Lad think sothing as simple as the 2-Star backpack he'd crafted would be enough to start a brawl between people who were higher up on the food chain than he could hope to imagine.

To be fair, it wasn't that the backpack even housed anything good inside; at best, the contents could be considered scraps for people at their level; however, it was the simple fact that Sergeant Lewis seed to covet sothing that didn't belong to him that pushed Principal Gavver into action.

"COUGH, excuse , Traveler Thurston." As the battle raged on, the ek voice of a young woman ca from Aoni's left, causing him to turn slightly in her direction only to find a lady a few years older than himself, wearing professional work attire and holding a tablet in her arms.

"Yes?" he asked, a bit confused still about why no one had stepped in to stop the fight.

"If you would please co with , we have a tight schedule, and the next Newly Awakened Traveler should be coming through the Flu shortly." She said with a business smile that didn't mask her anxiety about the high-paced battle across the Gym.

"Yes, Ma'am…but…" Turning his entire body with the intention of following her wherever he was directed, Aoni paused and looked back at the large pile of useless resources he'd brought back.

"Ah, don't worry about your items. Everything has been cataloged, even your backpack, and you have nothing to worry about; they will be collected, and you will be rewarded as per usual procedure."

"Oh…so I can't keep my backpack then," giving off the appearance that he was quite distraught about it, Aoni's shoulders slumped slightly, causing the woman to scrunch up her face.

"Everything is negotiable, please…" Waving her hand toward the tunnel leading out of the Gym, the woman continued…

"Right this way, Traveler Thurston."

"Yes, Ma'am." Keeping his head low, Aoni watched the young woman briskly walk away from the battle and followed a few steps behind her.

Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Moving quickly, the two left the Gym, headed across the main courtyard, and soon arrived at the bus loop, where on a usual school day, over 20 buses would have been waiting for students to ferry them ho.

Only today, instead of buses, there were dozens of blacked-out SUVs with the official Governnt crest plastered on the side, a crossed sword and spear with a giant tiger behind them in white acrylic.

"Yours is number 22. Please enter the vehicle, and the driver will take you to the regional headquarters for your examinations." She said while stopping beside a vehicle bearing the very number on the side in golden-trimd lettering.

With a curt nod, Aoni waited for the driver to hop out, run around, and open the door for him before sitting down and observing the expensive interior of the SUV.

'Damn, how are these seats so bouncy…it screams rich,' out of admiration, Aoni nearly bounced on the plush seat, but when he noticed the intense gaze of the driver in the rearview mirror, he froze and continued to look at his feet.

Thirty-five minutes later, after being let out of the SUV, Aoni found himself standing in front of a large set of stone stairs leading toward a very familiar skyscraper.

This was the regional headquarters for the Trafalgar City Traveler's Bureau.

The Traveler's Bureau was a governnt-established and run guild of sorts, and all Travelers, either immigrants from other countries or newly awakened such as himself, would at so point find themselves climbing a similar staircase.

Every single testing procedure would be run in the TB buildings, and upon getting certified, it would even beco a central hub for missions, selling materials, or even socializing.

Think of it like a Hunter's Association/Guild or sothing from other fantasy novels or ani. It basically served the sa purpose, only it was run by the governnt, and if you didn't play your cards right, it was extrely easy to get bullied into a slave contract.

Taking a deep breath and noticing that his driver had already abandoned him, Aoni walked up the staircase, where several staff mbers could be seen waiting outside with tablets.

There was no dia presence, no guilds trying to snipe newbies, or any people trying to cause trouble; instead, it was all structured and ran like a well-oiled machine.

Stopping on the top stair, Aoni noticed a middle-aged man wearing a similar professional outfit to the woman who'd been in charge earlier at the Academy, walking away from the group and heading in his direction.

"Traveler Thurston, my na is Garret Newlin, and I will be accompanying you throughout your application and verification process; please allow to congratulate you on making it through the initial Tutorial Period and for completing the achievent of returning alive." The man said, while spinning on his heels and motioning for Aoni to follow him into the building.

'This guy clearly hates his job and wants nothing to do with . Did they already retrieve my base stats or sothing?' Using his hair to hide his eyes, Aoni glared at the man's back while walking several paces behind him, yet he still had enough presence of mind to utter.

"Yes, sir."
