2 Young People

After seeing the 'interviews' of nearly a hundred people, Han Dong probably understood some of the rules of the preliminaries.

　　"[Third year] students have at least 3 Destiny Points invested into the Supreme Master Talent.

　　Furthermore, having gone through nearly three years of academy training, during which they have been adequately trained and have embarked on a large number of bounty missions.

　　The rules of the 'Preliminaries' established by this Head Kemun are simple, judging whether or not a person is qualified by judging their 'Fear Tolerance'.

　　For us freshmen, the requirements should be slightly lower."

　　However.

　　This head of Kemun didn't seem to have any intention of taking care of the junior trainee knights.

　　The pass rate plummeted when over to the [Sophomore] students.

　　The two that Han Dong knew, Coslin and Sophia, were just barely able to pass.

　　And so, it was slowly the turn of this group of freshmen who had just entered the school over three months ago.

　　Head Kemun was less than patient.

　　"I'm a person who doesn't like to take care of new students very much, You guys could have waited until next year to participate in the 'knight training' which is a bit easier in difficulty.

　　This time out, I have almost the same requirements for every trainee knight.

　　If it wasn't for the council's compulsory requirements on the selection of personnel, I wouldn't be willing to take you guys out of the city.

　　If you don't meet any of the requirements, don't even think about passing the final audit, even if you make it back alive, this Knight Training will be marked as 'unqualified'.

　　If you still insist on staying, form a line and stand in front of me."

　　Due to the fact that Head Kemun didn't intend to take care of the junior trainee knights in a graded manner, plus the previous air pressure eliminated a large number of new trainee knights.

　　Currently, only thirteen of them remained, standing in a line in front of Kemun.

　　"At least it shows that you have some guts, let me see what you freshmen have."

　　Kemun's white eyes slowly swept over the column of new students.

　　The heavy pressure doubled, and the mental burden increased by about three times as much.

　　The moment many were gazed upon, sweat spilled wildly from between their pores, soaking their shirts and dripping continuously.

　　The biological instincts in their bones are drawn out, and it is difficult to stop their legs from trembling.

　　But there were very few trainee knights who did not move in the face of the close stare.

　　As Captain Kemun's gaze swept over Han Dong, the white pupils of his eyes suddenly stopped, as he unexpectedly saw a unique raven mark left on the back of Han Dong's right hand.

　　Facing Head Kemun's gaze.

　　Han Dong, whose body was clearly thin and frail, and whose skin was even yellowing from lack of nutrients, did not even falter and maintained his normal standing posture.

　　"Hm? Strange,"

　　Kemun leaned his body forward, deliberately close to Han Dong, for a moment, the heavy pressure increased several times again.

　　"That raven, taking students? Are you one of his students?"

　　This special treatment made Han Dong resist a little, nodding slightly and squeezing two words out from between his teeth, "Yes."

　　"Interesting."

　　Kemun withdrew his body as if the mountain that was bearing down on Han Dong was removed and continued to look at the next person.

　　After his gaze swept over Mia, he gave his review of the freshmen, pointing to each of the six new students.

　　"This batch of newcomers is pretty good, exceeding my expectations! You six can participate in the training, go back and get ready, this training is much more dangerous than previous ones.

　　The six of you may have a good future ahead of you, but it's not worth dying for.

　　During the training period, I will still take care of you potential newcomers, and will classify the six of you as a special team, with my deputy secretly responsible for your safety.

　　The relevant requirements will be explained in detail during the training, go back and prepare all the supplies, and gather at the city gate at nine o'clock tomorrow.

　　The same goes for the other trainee knights, go back and spend your last day in peace."

　　"Thank you, Captain Kemun."

　　The six newcomers who were chosen naturally included Han Dong and Mia.

　　As these six were preparing to follow the senior students who had also been selected and leave the arena together, Head Kemun suddenly said.

　　"You two, wait a bit before leaving."

　　The 'two of you' here.

　　One referred to Han Dong.

　　The other referred to one particular male student among the six incoming freshmen.

　　A trainee knight with spiky white hair and wearing a crude animal skin coat.

　　Seeing this, Mia even pulled Han Dong's corner and whispered, "Congratulations on being favored by Head Kemun! I will be waiting for you outside the arena."

　　Han Dong just stayed where he was and didn't respond in any way.

　　When everyone had taken their positions, Captain Kemun let out a laugh for some reason.

　　"Hahaha! I heard some time ago that the crow had recruited a student, I just took it as a joke. I never expected that I would meet it today.

　　Since you're a student of the crow, you should be outstanding in perception, right? What's your name?"

　　"Nicholas Valen."

　　"Well, you two have a far greater tolerance for fear than your peers, quite good.

　　I can divulge to you in advance some arrangements for the 'training', the theme of which is wilderness survival, you will be required to live alone outside the city for a period of time without help.

　　Of course, I've said it.

　　All of you newcomers have greater potential, and as long as you don't die, you will definitely have better development in the future.

　　I will also send someone to give proper care in the dark to ensure your safety as much as possible.

　　However, there are still risks.

　　That's why I've asked you two to stay behind, where I have a special task to give to you in advance. As long as you can do a good job, I will give you an 'excellent' rating on your training files.

　　By the way, this is my eldest grandson.

　　Able, you and Nicholas will get to know each other first."

　　Grandson!

　　Han Dong had spotted this white-haired student with a unique scent among the first-year students right from the start.

　　With the vision of the little devil's eye, this person's body emitted a wild white scent around him.

　　These white breaths would sometimes aggregate around Abel's body to create the facial imagery of various beasts, In Han Dong's eyes, this young man, Abel, should be considered the strongest of the [First Year] Trainee Knights.

　　Unexpectedly, he was actually the grandson of this Captain Kemun.

　　"Hello, my name is Abel Rayne, majoring in Control! It is an honor to be a part of this elite training with the students of Raven Prophet."

　　Unexpected.

　　This beastly white-haired boy was fundamentally different from Captain Kemun.

　　The words did not have the manic beastliness of Kemun, but instead appeared polite and courteous.

　　"Hello!"

　　As Han Dong reached out to shake hands with this person, he felt the 'strength' of this Abel student even more intuitively.

　　It was fundamentally different from the average trainee knight.

　　If we were to say that Han Dong's best friend, Cass, was considered superior among trainee knights of the same rank.

　　Then, this Abel Rayne, on the other hand, was the one who stood at the top of the hierarchy among the people of the same rank.

----------------------------------

　　Staring at the scene where the two men shook hands, Captain Kemun had to turn to the long-sealed memory images in his mind.

　　The top of a hillside of corpses.

　　Covered in monster bodily fluids, his perseverance was at the top.

　　Beastly and furious.

　　Coupled with the depth of the pollution infestation, the beastly Kemun was about to fall into a violent state when a raven flew in and stopped on his shoulder.
