Chapter 1078: Chapter 754: Finale [25] Nora Scott, Getting Cocky

Online, Nora Scott bragged about Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott’s grades, but she wasn’t done yet.

Offline, Nora simply let Biel Hall organize a "benefits return" with the theme "Hall Master’s two younger brothers topped the college entrance exam," rolling out various discount policies... Of course, what kind of discounts isn’t the point; the purpose is to show off her two outstanding brothers.

And—

To tell the Martial World that Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott are under her protection.

In the future, if these two are involved in the Martial World, everyone better treat them like little ancestors.

Seeing Nora call Biel Hall, Pedro Langley guessed Nora’s intention, and with a smile, asked, "Starting so early to pave the way for them?"

"After all, they’ve both come of age." Nora replied leisurely, "Oliver is hard to say, but Marcus definitely can’t sit still."

"Marcus, indeed."

Pedro nodded.

Marcus actually takes after Nora, with a streak of "adventure" and "freedom." Perhaps, in their bones, both siblings have inherited Antonio Easton’s traits.

And, from a certain angle, Marcus is more suited to "venture into the Martial World" than Nora. Even if Marcus isn’t as skilled as Nora, his thoughts are meticulous, his actions are steady, and he won’t act on impulse like Nora, making enemies everywhere.

Two years of resting have made Nora restless, and now with another bun in the oven, she surely can’t do things as she pleases anymore.

So—

If Marcus wants to wander the Martial World occasionally, Nora can hand over some interesting tasks for him to handle.

"In the end, the extent of my influence depends on his ability. We folks from the Martial World don’t really care about nepotism," Nora said. "But he’s my brother, paving a little way for him in advance is justifiable."

"How did the two of them score this time?" Pedro asked.

This "coming-of-age ceremony" was pre-arranged by Nora.

There were always countless "tasks" with Benjamin Durant and Humphrey Jennings. Knowing Benjamin was taking Marcus and Oliver on an adventure, Nora requested some "tasks" from them and picked the most suitable one for Marcus and Oliver to handle.

This was their first step into the Martial World, stepping into society.

After all, regardless of what they want to do in the future, their current experiences will shape their future life experiences.

"They did slightly better than expected," Nora crossed her legs, resting her chin on one hand, "but nowhere near as good as I did."

Pedro chuckled, "Can they really compare to someone like you, who has fought in the Martial World since childhood?"

"..."

Nora shrugged, noncommittal.

"By the way," Pedro paused, suddenly thinking of something, "it’s almost time to fill out college applications. Oliver’s applying to Capital Uni, and what’s Marcus’s plan?"

"...I didn’t ask." Nora blinked.

"..."

Pedro was speechless.

"It’s not that important; he can decide for himself." Nora clapped her hands and stood up, glancing sideways at him, "With his grades, he can choose any university, any major nationwide, what are you worried about?"

Pedro: "..."

I’m worried he’ll follow your bad example of not taking college seriously or, worse, decide not to fill out the application and skip college altogether, becoming the most eccentric top scorer in history.

However—

Marcus didn’t make Pedro worry that much.

At least, that night when Pedro asked Marcus, Marcus didn’t plan on "not attending college."

A day later, Nora and Pedro, holding the tickets Fátima had bought, made their way to Sandcastle City. Then, under Fátima’s arrangement, they took a military helicopter and arrived safely at Maze Village before dark.

After landing, dust filled the air, yellow sand was everywhere.

A sandstorm was about to start.

"..."

"..."

"..."

At that moment, the world was silent, except for the swirling sand roaring between heaven and earth.

"No wonder we had to take a military one," Pedro dusted off the sand clinging to him post-landing, not hiding his urge to complain, "No civilian flights would dare operate in this weather."

"..."

Nora shot him a sidelong glance.

At this moment, after a long time, April Thomason appeared in a camouflage outfit and boots, striding toward them, raising her chin at them, "Good thing you arrived; some people are overly concerned, worried you might have an accident on the way."

Nora was just about to speak.

Then April added, "Mainly worried about you having an accident, or else the past few months’ efforts would have been wasted."

"..."

Nora said nothing, throwing her heavy luggage at her.

—After all, a person brought by Senior Sister couldn’t say anything nice.

She wasn’t even bothered to argue.

But after taking a step forward, she couldn’t help herself, turned around, and handed Pedro’s luggage to April as well.

April raised her eyebrows, ’With shades on, don’t love anyone,’ then in a dragged-out tone asked, "Sis, isn’t this a bit much?"

"Aren’t I the unique, eagerly anticipated genius?" Nora confidently asked back.

"...That’s a bit exaggerated." April wanted to diminish her vanity.

But she couldn’t.

Nora added, "For those of us who top various fields, if we don’t flaunt a bit, it wouldn’t do justice to my slashie identity."

April: "..."

Pedro: "..."

Thank you, could you be a bit more modest?
