Private Conversation

Although his consciousness had just returned and his head was still a bit hazy, Yi Chen was quite clear about his surroundings and naturally sensed the arrival of Professor Chamberson, a high-ranking Gentleman. He brought his eyes close to Yi Chen's body, inspecting him carefully.

At the same time, all those present, including the assessors and clergy, were focused on him, as if something was missing.

Goo goo~

The owl perched on Professor Chamberson's shoulder let out a sound.

"Here?"

Following the owl's indication, Professor Chamberson shifted his gaze to the back of Yi Chen's head, He carefully parted the hair with his fingers, allowing his vision to fully penetrate the scalp and observe the interior of the cranial cavity.

A complete brain came into view.

The brain sulci, which should have been distributed irregularly, had rearranged themselves at the back of the head.

The fleshy striations and grooves in the occipital region connected and combined, forming the exact same Professional Emblem as seen on the envelope – a book, opened and perfectly symmetrical.

With each breath Yi Chen took, Oxygen was sent to his brain, The brain pulsed as it absorbed oxygen, The Book imprinted on the back of his head gave the illusion of turning pages, and even the tiny characters on the book's surface seemed alive, their content changing with the subtle shifts in his body.

"This!"

Professor Chamberson had been in Zion for many years and had never seen anything like it. He was completely stunned.

He remained motionless, his gaze fixed on the back of Yi Chen's head, For a full three minutes before realizing his behavior was highly ungraceful, he quickly stood up and adjusted himself.

Cough cough~

"This ceremony went very smoothly. Everyone, without exception, has acquired their respective Professions.

However, you are still one step away from becoming true Gentlemen.

Before you officially begin your 'training' with the organization, you have two days of free time.

Someone will guide you to your temporary residences in Zion City shortly.

Please make sure to use the remaining time to complete your Custom Clothing.

Failure to complete the customization, or if the custom clothing is found to be substandard, will result in a delay in your training and a demerit."

As Professor Chamberson finished speaking, The ceremony hall erupted in a wave of fervent cheers, which quickly subsided.

Everyone suppressed their excitement, discussing their newly acquired Professions in hushed tones.

Edmund, the blond, also rushed to Yi Chen's side immediately, trying to find his Emblem.

"Huh? William~ Is your emblem hidden in a very secret place?

How about this, my family has connections with a very good Tailor Shop in Zion City. We can go together then?"

Yi Chen did not reject the suggestion.

After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he had no idea about the process for "custom clothing."

However, White Owl, Professor Chamberson, who was standing nearby, cast a sharp gaze and said sternly, "Due to William Berens' unique personal circumstances, his subsequent accommodation and clothing matters will be personally handled by me."

Edmund, the blond, naturally understood the implication of these words. He secretly gave Yi Chen a look that said "see you later" before leaving with his team members.

The other assessors were either led uniformly to their temporary accommodations, Or, like the young scions of noble families such as Edmund, they could directly proceed to the residences of their families already settled in Zion.

"Let's go."

Under Professor Chamberson's guidance, the two first arrived at a high-end restaurant called Brusar.

They were led to a private room in the deepest part of the establishment.

As various exquisite dishes were served, Professor Chamberson specifically emphasized the need for privacy to the waiter, stating that no one would disturb them during their meal.

The subsequent meal made Yi Chen quite uncomfortable.

Professor Chamberson's movements were exceptionally gentlemanly, even the angle at which he cut his food with his utensils and the duration his food remained in his mouth were perfectly consistent.

Yi Chen could only learn and apply as he went.

"No need to force yourself. Later, when you undergo systematic study, you'll naturally re-learn gentlemanly etiquette... After all, before you came here, you were just an external employee at the graveyard.

Feel free to enjoy yourselves, make yourselves at home.

This is the reward you deserve."

"Thank you."

Since the other party had said so, Yi Chen, who was already starving, directly brought over the largest bowl of vegetable salad and finished it in two or three gulps.

Little Grape was not to be outdone.

It crawled out from his collar, hopped onto the dining table, and directly used its mouth to suck out the eyeballs of the flounder as an appetizer, then unscrupulously gnawed on the other meat dishes.

Only after Little Grape had licked the oil stains on the surface of the plates clean did it obediently return to its position on his shoulder.

Professor Chamberson looked at the messy dining table and said in a low voice:

"...Your etiquette will need serious study then."

"Got it."

"Let's get down to business... What choice did you make in the [Old Hall]?"

Yi Chen did not hide anything, stating the situation truthfully.

He had only spoken halfway when

White Owl Chamberson's pupils suddenly widened, "What? Blue, black, and purple, three high-level letters appearing simultaneously! How is that possible?

Quick, describe the emblems on each letter in detail."

When discussing the blue plant emblem, Chamberson analyzed it from the side, "Plants... a rare and precious support-type profession. Once you choose it, you'll become a 'hot commodity' in Zion, with many gentleman squads throwing olive branches at you.

It will also be much easier to become a [Doctor] later and to apply for clinic qualifications."

When discussing the black skull emblem, Chamberson frowned, his eagle-like eyes glaring at Yi Chen:

"The death aura accumulated and tainted in the graveyard shouldn't be enough to generate a black letter of the death type.

Do you have a more direct connection to 'Death'?

This is even rarer than plants. If you choose this path, you have the opportunity to become the most terrifying Death Gentleman. But... the emblem that appeared in your mind is not this one.

Did you choose the 'purple letter'?"

"Yes..."

"With two excellent choices already available, why would you choose a completely unknown route?"

Chamberson, who had always had a good attitude towards Yi Chen, suddenly became unusually serious.

It seemed there was a misunderstanding.

He mistakenly believed that Yi Chen chose the purple letter out of fear of external pathogens, wanting to use the opportunity of the purple letter to stay in Zion forever and live an ordinary life.

"Balance."

Yi Chen pronounced his surname, earnestly explaining his final choice, which was to primarily "pursue knowledge" while also balancing the two attributes.

When Chamberson heard this explanation, his misunderstanding was immediately cleared.

He suddenly stood up, spreading his arms.

Even the owl on his shoulder, in a rare display, spread its wings, mirroring his action.

"Elegant!"

Chamberson quickly resumed his sitting posture and said seriously:

"Cough cough~ Since the [First Gentleman] has made a request for me to be responsible for your basic training... I will be your [First Mentor] in Zion from now on. I will handle the relevant procedures.

After all, I am an honorary professor at the [Arfros Tistic Academy].

Your subsequent enrollment process will be much smoother."

Yi Chen also changed his address for Chamberson at the first opportunity, "Professor Chamberson, I have one more question.

Now that I have completed my profession selection, how can I feel the changes brought by the profession? Or rather, how can I check the relevant information for this profession?"

"This is the important task I've given you two days to complete, and it's the final step to becoming a gentleman – 'Custom Clothing'.

Take your Gentleman's Skin and follow me..."
