Hell Students

"Hmm... students underground? Cutting in line?"

Han Dong clearly remembered that behind Mia was a Crusader graduate who used a spear as a weapon.

However, a student wearing a cloak that vaguely revealed the outline of a strong body and Skull Mask suddenly cut in line and followed Mia to participate in the Combat Test.

Because of the instructor's terrifying strength, the students in line behind needed to rest for a bit and didn't pay attention to the queue-jumping incident.

Mia received an A grade in her combat test, but she was not satisfied at all.

"They could actually do better. If I were to use my full strength, I could definitely last for more than a minute..."

Moreover, this level of difficulty is simply bullying.

This instructor is definitely stronger than Elite Knight.

"Since it's an arrangement by the Knight Headquarters, it must have its reasons. Besides, Mia, your registration results are quite good, so you should be able to be assigned to a better team in the subsequent Knight Selection."

"Now that we've seen this Underground Students's performance, let's go back."

"Okay... I'm not feeling too happy today, so you can spend more time with me later."

"We'll see."

Han Dong stared intently at the Underground Students.

After all, Mr. Black and White and Commander Malone had both emphasized to Han Dong that he should be wary of the special students from the underground... It would be a good opportunity to take advantage of such a difficult test to see the true strength of the Underground Students.

Instrument detection: Double S.

Han Dong looked at the Underground Students with a strange expression and muttered to himself:

"This guy clearly watched Mia's duel with the instructor. Such an instructor is beyond the level of a knight and there is no way he could fight him head-on."

Instead of creating distance immediately to buy more time... are they planning to forfeit?

However, the graduates wearing skull masks chose to bow to the dark-skinned instructors, indicating that they were ready to begin the second phase of testing at any time.

This hot-tempered instructor completely disregarded the 'junior's issue'.

Beat up anyone you see!

The graduates, hidden in their cloaks, had no time to dodge.

One punch lands! Smack!

But the outcome was different from what everyone expected.

The student was not knocked away... but instead took nine steps back before regaining his balance.

The force of the punch also completely ripped off the cloak that the Underground Students was using to cover his body, revealing a body of crimson iron that looked as if it had been hammered out of a ' Hell Iron Drill '.

"Could this be the ' Hell Kid ' that Commander Malone mentioned... whose physical structure is similar to Togu's?"

However, this guy's body is more 'metallic' and no longer belongs to the category of conventional flesh.

Moreover, this guy has pure demon blood flowing through his veins.

"How could the Hell Knight Order produce students like this?"

Han Dong deliberately used the word 'manufacturing'.

This suggests that such a student in the Hell Knight Order must have undergone unknown Body Modification, and even his blood may have been replaced.

Of course, one must also have a strong enough body to withstand such a ' Metal Demon Body Swap '.

current.

The student, named Sean, was gripping the instructor's fist tightly, completely blocking the attack.

Because he was wearing Skull Mask, his facial expressions were not visible.

The next second, an unbelievable scene unfolded... Despite blocking such a heavy punch, Sean actually chose to take the initiative to attack.

A side kick landed precisely on the dark-skinned instructor's cheek.

Snap!

When the instep hits, some sparks and steam splash out.

The immense force of the kick caused the instructor's head to tilt slightly... and of course, it also enraged him to some extent.

Streams of dark golden energy flowed through the instructor's body, gathering power.

When the fist is thrown, the surrounding space is violently compressed, producing a loud hissing sound.

It cannot be avoided, nor can it be defended against.

One punch sent the Hell Kid flying.

The iron body also emitted a sound similar to metal breaking.

Sean was sent flying like a bullet, crashing through the reinforced wall of the test room, scattering rubble... his body embedded in the wall on the opposite side of the corridor.

"This... is going to kill someone, isn't it?"

Not only the graduates present, or the staff recording the data, but even Han Dong was taken aback.

If he had taken that punch, he probably would have needed to stay in his dorm for a week to recover.

However...

Despite having a concave fist mark on his abdomen, Sean did not lose consciousness. Ten seconds later, he slowly moved his body and broke free from the broken wall.

He kept his head down, seemingly very dissatisfied with his performance.

He donned the spare cloak and turned to leave the Knight Headquarters.

"Sean Naberic, second stage endurance time: 27 seconds."

Note: Causes direct harm to the instructor.

Rating: S.

Han Dong stared at the departing Underground Students for about three seconds.

"Pfft... Hahaha!"

Unable to contain himself, he burst into wild laughter that echoed throughout the hall.

Due to an unexpected situation, Han Dong was unable to suppress his surging emotions of laughter, causing his long-dormant laughter to erupt at this moment.

Such laughter immediately attracted the attention of First Year people.

The "Great Betrayer" incident that caused a huge uproar half a year ago is known to almost everyone... and most people have also heard some rumors about the details.

Rumor has it that the atmosphere was tense before Commander Malone arrived.

As the core of the incident, a Knight-Errant disregarded the pressure from the captain and the death threat posed by the high-ranking demon, and laughed wildly under the gaze of all the knights, openly mocking the high-ranking demon possessing the Association President.

The maniacal laughter currently echoing in the Knight Headquarters caused many people to show expressions of surprise and doubt.

Realizing his lapse in composure and the possibility that his identity might be exposed, Han Dong immediately pinched his cheek to stifle his laughter and quickly left with Mia...

"What's the matter?"

Mia could accept Han Dong's sudden emergence of the "maniacal laughter" attribute, but she also felt it was somewhat strange.

"Nothing... I just feel that this Knight Selection will be very interesting."

I never imagined that the students in the shadows could reach this level of strength.

Mia naturally understood Han Dong's meaning. She was also very dissatisfied with her performance today. She bit her lip slightly and said, "I also need to go into seclusion in the witch's chamber for a while."

But you have to keep her company today! She messed up the test and is really upset.

"Hmm... I'll spar with you for a bit."

This year's Knight Selection saw the largest number of registrations in history: 210.

Correspondingly, the rules for the Knight Selection will also be changed to some extent in order to better assess the characteristics and potential of each graduate and inject more fresh blood into the Knight Order.

The preliminary rounds will officially begin one month after registration closes.

All registered students will gather in the central lawn area of the Royal Knights Academy.

Each of the Thirteen Knights will send a representative to guide the preliminary rounds and to scout out some outstanding graduates who have yet to be discovered.

The grandest Knight Selection in history is about to begin!
