The Heavy Knight glanced at him and then returned to a state of stoic impassiveness.
Starfire's expression had matured quite a bit. Ma Da's incident had hit him hard, but it had also made him grow a lot.

"Mm," Li Yelai responded. "I remember you guys just graduated from high school, right? Going straight to college?"
In this era, the threshold for entering college was very high.
Like Li Yelai, who only had a high school diploma, normally you would save a few years' wages and gain a decent amount of work experience before you could consider attempting to enter college.
Of course, those who performed exceptionally well could be directly admitted, or rich kids who wanted to add a college brand to their resume didn't have to worry about this problem.
