After hearing Zhang Kui's explanation, it dawned on Zhao Rui that he had unknowingly become the first freshman of his year to join the Martial Arts Team.
He figured his counselor, Liu Jie, must have pulled some strings for him, and Principal Hao's approval had surely been a major factor.
"The Martial Arts Team's current core members are all seniors and juniors. Sophomores like us are just here to help out, at best..."
Zhang Kui explained as they walked, and before long, they arrived at a two-story building out back. It had the appearance of an ancient structure but was entirely cast in concrete, making it look like a fortress.
"You need a face scan and iris verification to get in and out of here!"
After scanning his face at the security device by the door, Zhang Kui led Zhao Rui into the small building.
The interior of the building was quite modern. A corridor was flanked by many separate rooms, and some of the doors were heavy-duty steel security doors.
