However, when the second emblem was detected, the inspection team leader was shocked. It was actually an A-grade emblem, and its amplification attribute was a whopping 49%, just 1% away from being comparable to an S-grade emblem. Even more astonishing was yet to come: this emblem actually had additional attributes...
"Captain, is this vortex a cyclone?"
"I'm not sure, but it should be." Thinking of the moment in the video when Rachel's mecha suddenly took off and flew away at the critical moment, maybe it was really the effect of the cyclone?
"Where did you get this emblem?" The inspection captain thought that when Rachel's mental power exploded, it inadvertently triggered the hidden properties of the emblem, which led to the suspected teleportation.
Rachel already knew that what had just happened was probably related to the emblem Auckland had given her. No one would have thought that the emblem Auckland had given her was not a B+ grade, but a special Beyond Grade A emblem, and it even had additional properties...
Thinking about the mysterious online store that specialized in selling high-end virtual emblems that had been making a lot of noise online in recent days, Rachel already understood the general situation.
"I don't know either. I bought it from an anonymous user. At the time, I just thought it was a B+ grade emblem. I didn't expect the quality to be so high." Rachel chose to conceal Auckland's identity. Auckland's talent was so terrifying that the abilities he had shown so far were enough to make people jealous. If his true abilities were to be exposed, he would probably not be greeted with flowers and applause, but with conspiracy and calculation.
If Auckland was willing to reveal that he could make high-level coats of arms, he would not have concealed it from the beginning. Since he chose to keep a low profile, he would definitely keep it a secret for him.
Delagar and Oakland, who had been watching from the sidelines from beginning to end, saw everything that happened clearly. Oakland never expected that the person driving the JA-144 mecha was actually his adopted brother George, and he was also very moved by what Rachel had concealed for him. Now is not the time for him to reveal his full strength.
Even a smart man like De Lagar immediately understood the key.
"Ha, you're such a bad friend, huh? So you're the one who opened this anonymous online shop selling high-end emblems on consignment?"
Auckland looked at Delagar and said in a slightly bitter tone, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, I just..."
"No need to explain!" Dragal interrupted him with a smile. "I know the simple truth that a tall tree attracts the wind. If I were you, I would make the same choice. Don't worry, Lei will definitely not tell anyone about your affairs."
"Thanks!"
"Hey, we are friends, right? No need to be so polite."
"Yeah!" Oakland nodded heavily.
"But there is one thing you must promise me." Dragal said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Auckland asked nervously.
"If there's another coat of arms suitable for us in the future, we'll have to pay for it."
"No need..." Auckland declined hurriedly. He was not short of money now.
"I know you're able to make money now, but we're not broke either. Even brothers have to settle accounts."
"But……"
"Hey, you don't need to be so clear, right? We can see that you want to repay our favor, but what we did on Anotuo Star was actually just a piece of cake. You also gave us the emblem and helped us to strengthen our strength. How about we just consider us even?" Dragal smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Okay." Auckland reached out and held his hand, his eyes feeling a little sore. He was happy for their understanding and for making such a good friend.
The matter was quickly resolved. Rachel hadn't cheated, and he hadn't initially been aware of the coat of arms' special properties, so the match was valid. While George's report was incorrect, it was a legitimate misreporting, so the captain of the inspection team declared the match a draw.
"Why is it a draw? I should have won before!" After wasting so much time, he only got a draw in the end, which would still lower his winning rate. Moreover, the points given were only half of a perfect victory, which meant that he had to fight another game. Alvin didn't know how angry he was.
"His use of the emblem in battle was completely in compliance with the rules of the battle, triggering the hidden attribute, and it was also his luck. Luck is also a part of strength." The inspection captain made the final decision.
The real-time news on the Star Network News Station has changed to - A thrilling and mysterious genius herald master with incredible additional attributes.
After making such a big noise, the three of them quickly logged off to avoid attracting attention.
Unfortunately, Rachel was a certified mecha combat master, and she became famous because of that special emblem. Chris naturally noticed this too. The emblem with a vortex icon that appeared on the tester during the test was clearly made by the same person as the emblem with a small golden shield that the boss had photographed after testing.
Rachel's claim of not knowing the anonymous login might have fooled others, but not Chris. No one would pay for an emblem online without verifying its properties, unless they completely trusted the other party. And a typical merchant wouldn't mistake their merchandise for a high-quality A-grade emblem, passing it off as a B-grade one. Only a fool would do that.
Therefore, he could definitely conclude that Rachel and the mysterious herald were close friends. Chris felt that starting with Rachel, he should be able to quickly find out about the mysterious herald.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was some substantial progress. Otherwise, if the boss asked about this matter again, he would still have no information at all and he would probably be torn into pieces by the boss...
*********
Auckland rested immediately after logging off, planning to go to the practice area again after getting up the next day and try to make a physical emblem, just as a form of practice.
However, before he could even go out the next day, he received a notice from the school office asking him to go to the principal's office immediately.
Auckland didn't know what the principal wanted to talk to him about, but he still went to the hub station and took a taxi to the school office.
When he walked into the principal's office, he found that there were many people inside, and they were all "acquaintances".
"Auckland." An overly sweet female voice sounded. Myrna twisted her slender waist, and walked towards him with a fragrant smell. As she walked, she pretended to be intimate and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much..."
Auckland narrowed his eyes and quickly took two steps back, just avoiding her 'Lushan Claw'. At the same time, he looked in the direction of the desk and asked, "Principal Charles, what is the matter with you calling me here?"
"Your parents are here, don't you see?" Charles said coldly.
"I saw it." Auckland's expression was indifferent. These two so-called 'parents' were no different from strangers to him. "If you called me here for nothing else, then I'll leave first."
They simply didn't give any face to those people inside.
"You little bastard, is that how you talk to your mother and the principal?!" The tall but slightly fat middle-aged man, Edmund, Auckland's adoptive father, raised his hand and wanted to hit him.
Auckland narrowed his eyes and quickly retreated again, all the way outside the office. Edmund, furious, immediately stopped in his tracks. He couldn't chase his son outside and beat him up. If someone saw him, wouldn't that bring disgrace upon the Campbell family?
"Get in here!" Edmund threatened in a low voice.
Auckland still stood outside, motionless, completely treating his words as nonsense.
"Principal Charles, I'm really sorry. It's our fault that we don't have better children." Myrna acted as if she was deeply distressed.
"That's right! Principal Charles, please let us take this child back and give him a proper education."
"This child's manners are truly terrible. He should be taken back for a proper education," Charles said coldly. "Go and get him the formalities to leave school."
Auckland had been observing their clumsy acting with a cold eye until their true intentions were revealed. He immediately said, "Wait a minute, the semester isn't over yet. I just transferred to another department and I don't have any plans to go back for now."
"This semester is over, and the holidays will begin after the final exams. You have transferred to the Heraldry Department, and you will study with the new batch of freshmen next semester. You don't need to take final exams, and you don't have any courses to study. Of course, you can leave school early." Charles said with a wry smile.
"Hmph, that's right. The principal just said that you need to go back and learn some etiquette. It's a good opportunity to teach you a lesson during the holiday! As your guardian, I have every right to handle the procedures for you to leave school early." Edmund glared at Auckland fiercely. This brat had only been in school for a year, but he already dared to ignore him.
Milna was right. This kid was a complete ungrateful idiot. Even if he passed the test and was transferred to the Heraldry Department, what good would it do? No matter how valuable a treasure he couldn't control, he couldn't use it! Might as well just smash it to pieces, turning it into a pile of trash to prevent it from turning against its owner later.
Only then did Auckland realize that this body of his was only sixteen years old. As a minor, his legal guardian could make some decisions for him.
Just like now, he has no reasonable reason to stay in school...
What should he do? What should he do?
Auckland bit his lower lip and looked at the smug faces in front of him. He was absolutely certain that once he left school, there would be no chance of returning...
As if hearing his inner prayer, a voice suddenly rang out, "Oh, it's rare for the principal's office to be so lively."
