A Perfect Finale

"This female corpse comes from the Destiny Event - The New Mummy. Based on our observations, we believe that this female corpse will be of great help to your physical and ability development."

Given that you still need to go through the final draft phase of the Knight Selection.

We will send the Corpse Coffin directly to the Mysticism Department Great Cemetery. You can retrieve it after the conference ends.

"Thank you, Congressman Metophis."

Although Han Dong appeared calm, his heart was in turmoil.

"Due to unforeseen events and the intervention of hidden tests, the scoring rules have changed to some extent. The thirteen captains need to discuss for a period of time before they can give the final score for the Knight Tournament."

First, please proceed to the rest area, five prospective knights. The [Pool of the Gods] will be open to you again.

Han Dong remained silent throughout and simply walked back to the rest area.

Han Dong ignored the cheers that erupted from the crowd.

"What First Year scheme of things."

When I stepped back into the rest area.

As Han Dong pushed open the iron door of the lounge, the room inside was no longer the lounge it had been before, but had once again transformed into the "interrogation room" where the congressman had invited Han Dong to discuss the candidate's affairs.

However, inside the current interrogation room.

Aside from the bald-headed senator, Hugo, the Commander Hugo, is also here.

The bald senator's fist was lightly tapping Hugo's body. "We agreed to act, but this pinch really hurts!"

"Oh dear... we'll talk about it when we get back. Nicholas's here, so you should act like a congressman."

This scene made Han Dong, who had just entered, feel slightly embarrassed.

Commander Hugo, stroking his rather disheveled brown hair, smiled and stepped forward:

"This Senator Metophis is a close friend of mine... You are a smart man and should be able to understand what is happening right now."

After our first meeting, I had already determined your 'human nature', and therefore, through my relationship with Metophis, I proposed the 'performance'.

Such a performance will dispel everyone's concerns about you in the Holy City.

Metophis himself admires you and gave you extremely high praise for your performance in the "Great Betrayer Incident".

Parliament can also use this to change the boundaries regarding "human beings".

Otherworldly demons are beings that humans hate the most.

If the council allows you to live as a noble knight in the Holy City, once your identity is exposed, other rulers in the Holy City will be dissatisfied, and some Knight Order will also doubt the council's 'execution' and 'decisiveness'.

Judging from this vote...

Only eight captains are on your side, and that's just their personal opinion. Some of their knights will inevitably be dissatisfied, especially those whose relatives or friends were killed by the demons.

During the Knight Selection, you will undergo a "human" verification in front of the entire Holy City. This is the best way for you to gain the recognition of the entire Holy City.

Of course, your mentor's help was also crucial. If Mr. Black and White hadn't changed some information for you beforehand, some loopholes would have appeared in the verification process.

Phew... Everything is going smoothly with the overall plan.

Parliament's attitude toward you is the same as mine and your mentor's.

Whether it was your performance in the "Great Betrayer Incident" or your selfless act of saving your comrades at the current conference, the council acknowledges the existence of your 'humanity'.

The work I missed during this time will need to be made up for after you join the Knight Order.

Furthermore, this Senator Metophis, like you, is also an expert on the properties of death; this [Sub-death Space] was created by him... He may not know less about death than the Grim Reaper.

If you have any questions, you can ask him directly.

After saying that, Commander Hugo placed a heavy hand on Han Dong's shoulder.

Han Dong immediately knelt down on one knee. "Thank you, Commander Hugo, Metophis, Congressman Metofis."

Commander Hugo muttered to himself, "Sigh... It's really not easy to recruit a hardworking young man who's so good at enduring hardship."

Han Dong could only respond with an awkward laugh.

Ten minutes later.

The five students who participated in the final trial have regrouped in the central area of Trial Ground.

"The second round of the Grand Finals, the Golden Apple Trial, has ended!"

The guild leaders have given corresponding overall scores to the five prospective knights who participated in the trial.

"[The Righteous One] - Gulli Charité ranked fifth, overall score: 8.0."

"[Hell Boy]-Sean Naberius ranked fourth, overall score: 8.3."

"[Beasts]- Abel Raine is ranked third, with an overall rating of 8.6."

"[Magic] Demps Martin, ranked second, overall rating: 9.0."

"Valen Nicholas is ranked first, with an overall rating of 9.7."

Upon hearing such a rating, Han Dong could only smile helplessly...

He initially participated in this year's Knight Tournament with the intention of finishing in the bottom ten, but he never expected things to turn out this way due to a series of 'coincidences'.

However, the feeling of standing at the top is quite nice!

"Next, please welcome all the top ten students to the stage for the final event of the Knight Tournament: the draft."

Mia, who received special treatment from the witch, has regained her basic mobility.

When she returned to the field, she saw Han Dong not far away.

Splash...

Tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Mia learns from the witch that when her life was threatened, the one who saved her was neither the referee nor the witch... but Han Dong, who rushed onto the stage at top speed and slapped the Han Dong away.

Because she was still very weak, Mia ran to Han Dong with great difficulty.

She jumped with all her might, using her legs to clamp around Han Dong's waist... her arms tightly holding onto 'her man,' refusing to let go no matter what.

"Waaaaah... I thought I'd never see you again."

Also, while I was resting, I heard the witch say that something terrible had happened outside? What exactly happened?

Mia was completely unaware of the actions taken by Commander Hugo and the joint council.

"It's nothing... Abel and I just got beaten up."

"Who! Who dares to hit you!"

At this moment, Han Dong suddenly reached out and patted Mia's head, "It's okay, after the conference is over... I'll take you to play outside the city."

Mia was already wary of Han Dong's tricks, so while she was happy to hear this answer, she still cautiously asked another question:

"Are you just taking me alone? We're just going to be alone outside the city, you're not going to make me fight monsters, are you?"

"No, it's just the two of us. We'll stay at the manor for a few days, and no one will bother us."

"I..."

Mia was already very weak, and when she suddenly heard the answer she had been waiting for for three years, she was so excited that she snapped a string in her brain... Her tongue was hanging from her mouth, and she fainted again.

Emergency personnel arrived and provided Mia with immediate treatment.

Han Dong looked up at the stands again, his gaze falling on the Black Crow had stood on the shoulders of the Great Plague Lord the entire time, without moving an inch despite the circumstances.

"Thank you, teacher..."
