He had thought he was merely passing by and helping to deal with an ignorant junior, but he never expected to run into such a tough opponent!!
Ivan rubbed the searing heat in his chest and slowly drew his sword from his spatial storage.
Those who worked as test intelligence agents rarely encountered the real deal. Most people with ability were noble scions who lacked nothing in terms of resources and would never stoop to selling information about their classmates. Most of those willing to do this work were outsiders who had come because they were short on money and wanted to give it a try.
But most scions from such unconventional backgrounds were only average in skill. Of course, "average" didn't mean the average level of the general public. After all, anyone capable of entering the Martial Arts Department of Bronze Academy was naturally among the elite of the masses. It was only average in comparison.
Compared to those born into truly top-tier noble families, most outsider scions from unconventional backgrounds were ultimately on a different level. Someone like Demon Star was absolutely a rarity.
The purpose of the test missions was to find someone decent among these outsider scions. Ivan had been doing this for several months, and all he had dealt with were people of ordinary ability—mediocre trash. As a result, he had gradually come to look down on the position.
He hadn't expected to actually encounter a rarity.
"Mr. Ivan?"
From a distance, White Fox asked cautiously. Although she hadn't seen clearly, judging from what had just happened, Ivan seemed to have suffered a loss.
By a tester's standards, being able to accomplish that should already count as passing.
Ivan ignored White Fox. After drawing his sword, he looked at Feng Doudou with a solemn expression.
