The others' hearts surged with excitement, anticipation, and longing...
Lu Ran, however, wasn't excited.
Order wouldn't disappear; it would simply be supplemented in another form.
The Shrek Inspectorate was indeed a supplement to order. It could handle matters the three empires didn't want to—or weren't willing to—get involved in.
Its existence was reasonable to an extent.
It also had flaws.
It was a sword, a sharp sword,

But aside from its own self-restraint, no one truly supervised it.
The Shrek Inspectorate kept watch over the continent, but who watched the Inspectorate?
The answer was no one.
A hundred students overseeing the entire continent

When carrying out missions, each person had tremendous autonomy in making decisions.
That was perfectly normal.
They had no choice but to decide for themselves,
because they couldn't contact Shrek whenever they wanted.

the evil of Evil Soul Masters
wasn't simply the evil of killing people.
Most Evil Soul Masters were twisted, warped, and abnormal. Their methods of killing went far beyond anything ordinary people could imagine.
They didn't settle
