Two Young Men

After reviewing the 'interviews' of nearly a hundred people, Han Dong gained a general understanding of the rules of the preliminary rounds.

"Students in their Third Year should have at least 3 Destiny Points invested in their main talent."

Moreover, after nearly three years of academy training, he has received sufficient training and has handled a large number of Bounty Mission.

The rules for the 'preliminary round' set by this Commander Kaimon, were very simple: his qualification was determined by judging a person's 'fear tolerance'.

For us freshmen, the requirements should be slightly lower.

However.

This Commander Kaimon doesn't seem to have any intention of taking care of the younger Knight-Errant.

When the students transitioned to their second year of university, the pass rate dropped sharply.

Han Dong's acquaintances, Koslin and Sophia, barely passed the test.

And so it slowly came to the turn of this First Year of freshmen who had just entered the school three months ago.

Commander Kaimon said impatiently:

"I'm not really into taking care of freshmen... You can definitely wait until next year to participate in the easier ' Knight Training Camp '."

On this trip out of the city, I had almost the same requirements for every Knight-Errant.

If it weren't for the council's mandatory requirements regarding personnel selection, I wouldn't have wanted to take you hairless little guys out of the city.

If you fail to meet any requirement during the training camp, don't even think about passing the final review... Even if you come back alive, this Knight Training Camp will be marked as 'unqualified'.

If you insist on staying, line up and stand before me.

Because Commander Kaimon did not intend to provide differentiated care for the lower-level Knight-Errant, and because his previous imposing aura had eliminated a large number of Newcomer Knight-Errant.

Currently, only thirteen people remain, standing in a line in front of Kaimon.

"At least it shows you have some guts... Let me see what you freshmen are capable of."

Kaimon's white eyes slowly swept over the row of new students.

The Heavy Pressure doubled, and the mental burden increased by more than three times.

Many people, upon being stared at, broke out in a sweat that poured from their pores, soaking their clothes and dripping down.

The biological instincts deep within him were drawn out, making it difficult to stop his legs from trembling.

However, a very few Knight-Errant remained unmoved even when faced with close-up stares.

Just as Commander Kaimon's gaze swept over Han Dong, his white eyes suddenly stopped... because he unexpectedly saw a unique Crow's Mark on the back of Han Dong's right hand.

Facing the gaze of Commander Kaimon.

Despite his frail and thin body, and even his sallow skin due to malnutrition, Han Dong remained unmoved and maintained a normal standing posture.

"Hmm? That's strange..."

Kaimon leaned forward, deliberately getting close to Han Dong... In an instant, the Heavy Pressure increased several times over.

"That crow, has it taken on students? Are you one of his students?"

This special treatment was too much for Han Dong to bear. He nodded slightly and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, "Yes."

"Interesting."

Kaimon withdrew his body, as if a mountain that had been pressing down on Han Dong had been removed, and continued to look at the next person.

After his gaze swept over Mia, he gave his assessment of First Year freshmen, pointing to six freshmen in total.

"This batch of Newcomer is quite good, exceeding my expectations! The six of you can participate in the training camp. Go back and prepare well... This training camp is much more dangerous than previous ones."

All six of you have the potential to have a bright future; it wouldn't be worth it for you to die.

During the training camp, I will still take care of you promising Newcomer a little. I will group the six of you into a special team, and my deputy will be in charge of your safety in secret.

The relevant requirements will be explained in detail during the training camp. Go back and prepare all the necessary supplies. We will meet at the city gate at 9:00 AM tomorrow.

The other Knight-Errant are the same; go back and enjoy your last peaceful day.

"Commander Kaimon."

Among the six selected Newcomer, Han Dong and Mia were naturally included.

Just as the six were about to leave the arena with the other selected senior students, Commander Kaimon suddenly spoke.

"You two, wait a moment before you leave."

The two people here.

One refers to Han Dong.

The other refers to a special male student among the six selected freshmen.

A Knight-Errant with spiky white hair, dressed in a simple Beast Skin.

Seeing this, Mia quickly tugged at Han Dong's sleeve and whispered, "Congratulations on being chosen by Commander Kaimon! He'll be waiting for you outside."

Han Dong simply remained where he was and did not respond.

After everyone had taken their positions, Commander Kaimon, for some unknown reason, burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! I heard someone say the other day that the crow recruited a student... I just took it as a joke. I never expected to run into it today."

Since you're Crow's Student, you must be exceptionally skilled in "perception," right? What's your name?

"Valen Nicholas".

"Hmm... Your tolerance for fear is far beyond that of others of the same level, which is quite impressive."

I can give you a sneak peek at some of the arrangements for the 'training camp'. The theme of this training camp is wilderness survival... You will need to live alone outside the city for a period of time without any help.

Of course, I already said that.

You Newcomer all have great potential. As long as you don't die, you will definitely have a good future.

I will also send people to secretly provide appropriate care and ensure your safety as much as possible.

However, risks still exist.

That's why I asked you two to stay behind; I have a special task for you to complete ahead of time. If you do well, I will give you an 'Excellent' rating in your training records.

Oh, by the way... this is my eldest grandson.

"Abel, you and Nicholas should get to know each other first."

Eldest grandson!

Han Dong noticed this white-haired student with a unique aura among the First Year right away.

From the perspective of "Lesser Demon Eye," this person exudes a wild white aura.

These white auras would sometimes coalesce around Abel's body, forming phantom images of various wild beasts' faces... In Han Dong's eyes, this young man, Abel, should be considered the strongest among the [First Year] Knight-Errant.

Unexpectedly, he was the grandson of Commander Kaimon.

"Hello, my name is Abel Raine, majoring in Control! It is an honor to participate in this elite training camp with the students of the Crow Prophet."

Unexpected.

This white-haired boy in Beast Skin is fundamentally different from Commander Kaimon.

His words lacked the manic, bestial nature of Kaimon; instead, they were polite and courteous.

"Hello!"

When Han Dong reached out and shook hands with this person, he felt even more directly the 'power' of this classmate Abel.

They are fundamentally different from ordinary Knight-Errant.

If we were to talk about Han Dong's good friend, Cas, he would be considered "superior" among Knight-Errant of the same rank.

So, this Abel Raine was the one who stood at the top among his peers.

As he watched the two shake hands, Commander Kaimon couldn't help but recall long-sealed memories.

The hilltops littered with corpses.

He stood at the very top, his body covered in the monster's bodily fluids.

His animalistic instincts were unleashed, and his rage was difficult to quell.

With the deep contamination taking its toll, just as the beast-like Kaimon was about to go berserk, a raven flew over and landed on his shoulder...
