Examination

Council Examiner

Senior staff members directly appointed by Parliament have the highest investigative powers, the right to speak with anyone, and the right to access any organization's confidential documents.

The person who came to the mysterious department was a woman with a buzz cut, dressed in black monk's robes.

Currently, in the high-level conference room of the Dark Moon Tower, the Knight-Errant involved in this training camp are being interrogated individually.

Besides Han Dong and Mia, there were also many second- and Third Year students.

This also includes Senior Sister Zhen, a shadow assassin who habitually wears Skull Mask and belongs to the Blood Knight Lucius squad, whom Han Dong had offended.

"It's a bit troublesome... Senior Sister Zhen told the investigator in advance about my contact with the Grand Lord... The investigator will be conducting an in-depth interrogation of me."

At a critical moment, Han Dong disguised himself as Necromancy Apprentice to gain Senior Sister Zhen's trust and then tricked her.

Under the current circumstances, it is simply impossible to ask Senior Sister Zhen to risk being accused of lying for Han Dong, this "scoundrel".

Han Dong had not received any prior notice and could not fully trust that Mr. Black and White had secretly handled everything. He had to prepare for the worst and come up with all the possible explanations.

The interrogations were conducted in order from the older students to the younger students.

Senior Sister Zhen was first in line and walked out of the conference room first. Wearing Skull Mask, she didn't even glance at Han Dong and left the current floor directly.

The interrogation proceeded faster than expected... or rather, the interrogator was able to discern the essence of the matter with just a few questions, and after a brief inquiry, allowed the students unrelated to the Old King Incident to leave.

"Mia Seminovich!"

"Exist!"

Mia spent more than twice as long in the interrogation room as the previous students.

However, as she walked out of the interrogation room, she quietly gave Han Dong an 'OK' sign.

"Valen Nicholas".

"Exist."

Han Dong, maintaining his most ordinary appearance, headed to the large conference room.

The examiner had a pair of dark eyes and made Han Dong sit on the opposite side.

"Briefly describe your experience during the training camp; I will ask you some questions about the details."

Because of Mr. Black and White's warning, Han Dong had already prepared a series of statements yesterday, recounting his experiences in the Castle District in a reasonable and logical manner.

Half of Han Dong's statement was true, and he provided a detailed account of how he killed the various cadres. The investigators were quite shocked by Han Dong's performance, as it was rare for a freshman to kill so many cadres.

"We will compare and verify your statement with the descriptions of all new students. If there are any problems... you will be immediately summoned to the parliament headquarters for further review."

Of course, if there are no problems, the relevant points will be credited to you.

The Award Ceremony for this training camp is expected to take place in two days.

"Thank you, examiner."

"Etc..."

Han Dong was just about to leave, was suddenly called back, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Achieving such results during your freshman year, while also completing the ' Night Watcher Mission,' will increase your 'attention level' from above. We hope you can perform even better before becoming Formal Knight."

"Must."

Han Dong breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the interrogation room.

In his fabricated account, Han Dong tentatively mentioned his contact with the Blood Knight squad in the castle, but the interrogator did not delve into it further.

That means that Senior Sister Zhen skipped over this matter and even helped Han Dong cover up his contact with the Grand Lord.

As Han Dong and Mia left their current floor and arrived at the elevator waiting area, a dark shadow flashed by.

She instantly pinned Han Dong against the wall.

At the same time, there was a shadowy figure that could move freely, holding a short knife to Mia's neck, signaling her not to make any rash moves.

The person and the shadow move simultaneously.

The one who pinned Han Dong against the wall was none other than Senior Sister Zhen.

"Hello, senior." Han Dong greeted her awkwardly.

"Tell Mr. Black and White that I kept your secret as requested... Captain Lucius, and Renze also kept your secret."

"Thank you, senior."

"You despicable bastard... Don't think this is over. Don't let me see you outside of school."

"Senior, I had no choice... You guys started it. Haha... Besides, everyone's alright, aren't we?"

Senior Sister Zhen has already conveyed the information and is too lazy to continue with any more nonsense.

In the blink of an eye, it blended into the shadows and left along with the descending elevator.

Mia, who was being held hostage, wasn't Life Force at all. Instead, she asked Han Dong with great interest, "Wow! Jane Mikaziki... This is the senior sister in Doctor Shadow's research group. She is one of the most skilled assassins in our Mysticism Department. Like us, she entered the university with excellent grades... Nicholas, how did you offend her?"

"No wonder she's so amazing... In the latter half of the plan, I accidentally ran into Senior Sister Zhen's team. In order not to affect the progress of the plan, I had no choice but to trick her."

"You dare to scheme against students in their ' Seed Breaking Stage '? That's impressive!"

"Haha, well, there's nothing I can do about it... It seems that after meeting me yesterday, Mr. Black and White went to talk to each of my students."

As for the interrogation, as long as I have no problems, everything will be kept secret.

Mr. Black and White is really useful.

Han Dong had actually felt something was strange yesterday. Why did Mr. Black and White contact him in advance instead of asking him to go to the Stargazing Room to talk, when he had a day off?

It now appears that Mr. Black and White spent the rest of yesterday secretly handling Han Dong's affairs and smoothing over any potential leaks.

For this, Han Dong didn't know how to express his gratitude.

"Mia, I'm going to the [Stargazing Room]... The training camp is now over. You've worked hard too! See you at the Award Ceremony in two days."

"Alright! I'll think of my 'requirements' for you in two days, and I want you to be with me all the time from now on."

As Han Dong sat on the elevator, staring at Mia's figure, he had to admit that although Mia had some personality issues, her performance in this training camp showed that she was indeed a very reliable teammate.

At the same time, Han Dong also realized one thing.

He is by no means the only genius, eccentric, or outcast in the Holy City.

Among the six new recruits, Abel's beast bloodline and Winry's physique are both unique, and they will surely grow into core pillars of the Holy City in the future.

Demps Martin, this man's hidden secrets may be no less than Han Dong's.

[Stargazing Room] Arrived.

Han Dong knelt down on one knee as soon as he entered the room to express his gratitude.

Mr. Black and White gestured for Han Dong to sit on the sofa opposite him, saying he had something to say to him.

A soft, melodious voice came from beneath the mask. "If we can pass today's interrogation smoothly, everything will gradually calm down... Commander Alex has returned to the city, and there will be some changes within the council because of his return."

When do you plan to leave the city?

"Sir, you can even predict this? I'm preparing to..."

Han Dong had just finished speaking when...

A burning sensation came from the back of my left hand.

The "yellow seal" appears.

Today I accompanied my mother-in-law to Mount Heng in Nanyue. We climbed to the top of Zhurong Peak, and I felt like I was going to explode (I was also the driver). I'll be home tonight, so the second update will be a bit late.
