Chapter 53: Where Lies Your Allegiance


    "Mr. ck and White... I don''t understand why you want to ''rehash'' my previous assessment experience?"


    Mr. ck and White casually drew two intersecting lines of stars directly in mid-air.


    "Intersecting lines of fate... While stargazingst night, I identally saw your lines of fate intertwine. And the future of the intersecting lines ispletely invisible to me, that''s why I purposefully did this.


    How about it, are you satisfied with the results of this test? Lecturer Pasha."


    Totally reliving.


    I don''t know how Mr. ck and White is recreating her past experiences.


    While Pasha hadn''t changed much on the face, there was some inner turmoil.


    Once upon a time, she was indeed like this.


    As she wasn''t proficient in anybat skills at the time, she wanted to team up with the other trainee knights to clear the barrier, but was incapacitated by her ankle being shed during her journey through the Dark Moon Forest.


    Her teammates didn''t hesitate and abandoned her.


    When she woke up, she was already in the infirmary of the High Tower... She failed the test, but due to the shortage of staff in the Department of Mysticism, they kept her on.


    However, no mentor would take her with such a grade.


    Without being given any resources, Pasha, with her unique talent and perseverance, had been persisting in the ''darkest'' ces.


    Eventually, she was recognized by Mr. ck and White, allowing her to be a member of the gue Knights and remain in the academy as a teacher.


    It sounded like a very inspiring story, but not many people at all knew how much pain and despair Pasha had borne on her own to climb up from the bottom of thedder.


    There were definitely no less than tens of suicidal thoughts.


    The crystal ball in the test screen.


    Mr. ck and White deliberately deleted Han Dong''s final answer, and overall, it looked like Han Dong was subjectively willing to stay and protect Pasha and clear the test together.


    "Well..."


    Pasha maintained her serious expression as a teacher and returned the crystal ball to Mr. ck and White.


    "What does Mr. ck and White mean by asking me to bring this trainee knight of the "excellent file"?"


    "Well, you''re the first mentor, I''m the second..."


    "What! Are you saying the order in reverse, sir?"


    Pasha thought she had misheard.


    If a dual mentor-ship training model was adopted, no matter how much she would be the second mentor...how could Mr. ck and White be behind her.


    "I''m just putting up a name and asionally mentoring in the details. Pasha, you are Nichs''s primary mentor, responsible for drawing him deeper into the mysticism.


    After all you and Nichs are proficient in is gue and due to the crossed fate, it would be appropriate for you to lead him in the early stages...Nichs, would you?"


    When Mr. ck and White turned his face away, Han Dong replied evenly, "Yes."


    Mr. ck and White continued to ask.


    "The only thing you''re currently good at is the gue ss ability?"


    This question made Han Dong''s heart tremble, especially when gazing at the ck mask, there was a feeling of being pierced into his heart... Han Dong was very worried that his secrets would be exposed in front of these people.


    "Mm... "Han Dong nodded his head while maintaining hisposure.


    "That''s no problem, regarding ''gue Science'', although there are several other masters in the Department of Mysteries who are good at it, Lecturer Pasha is definitely the most suitable to guide you.


    As for the [Resources], as long as you perform well enough, I''ll allocate the resources directly to you."


    "Thank you, Mr. ck and White."


    Han Dong was well aware of the weight of this statement, with the Department Head directly allocating the resources.


    In other words, as long as Han Dong met the expected requirements and wanted anything, the department would be able to provide it for him.


    "Pasha, do you have a problem here? If not, I''ll talk to Nichs alone and have hime to your office to fill out the paperwork."


    "No problem."


    As Pasha got up to leave, she purposely took a sideways nce at Han Dong, the frail freshman, and was slightlyplicated inside.


    .........


    Click!


    When the door closed, only Han Dong and Mr. ck and White were left here.


    "Can I have a closer look at your right arm?"


    In this situation, could Han Dong still refuse? He could only extend the arm out.


    "Well... pure ghoul arm, no stitch marks, like it''s purely natural growing on your body.


    Even a suturing professor in my department couldn''t do such a wless stitching."


    Mr. ck and White''s words caused a drop of cold sweat to seep out of the back of Han Dong''s back.


    "The secrets contained within you are more ''troublesome'' than any trainee knight I''ve ever met... Even I can''t even divine and observe half of your future image.


    However, since even I can''t see through your ''disguise'', no one within this holy city can either.


    You''re not [Nichs Valen], right?"


    "No... but I''m human myself."


    Han Dong replied decisively.


    In front of such a figure, concealing it would only aggravate the situation... Han Dong, on the other hand, shifted his focus to the word ''human'' at the first opportunity to emphasize his position.


    "Very clever answer, but there''s no need for you to worry too much... No matter what you are, as long as your position is correct, I will treat you as a normal trainee knight.


    So, now I need you to answer a question... what is your position?"


    "I am what I am by nature and what I stand for."


    "Well..."


    Mr. ck and White continued to ask, "Congrattions, you''ve be a member of my mysticism department. Do you need to post your results on the bulletin boards at all levels?"


    "No need to announce it, if you can, just announce that I passed the test. As Mr. ck and White fears, it''s best if I''m not too conspicuous so as not to attract the attention of others."


    "Well... it can be hidden from the interviewers and investigators.


    Now that you''re my student, I''ll provide you with whatever resources are needed to meet the ''goal''...and speaking of which, a short term and important goal must be mentioned."


    "Right." Han Dong listened attentively.


    "After bing a Trainee Knight, Destiny Space still requires regr trips.


    Each department has certain targets, and if they are not met, the department''s resource allocation will be rtively reduced... Although our Mystic Department''s targets are not high, due to the small base of new students, the next Destiny Space number arrangement is not enough, and you need to be ready in the short term."


    "Short term, how long?"


    "About two weeks."


    Two weeks, Han Dong also nned to spend half a semester seriously studying [Mysticism] to acquire some basic skills.


    Learn the ability to be able to conceal and interpret ''summoning objects'', and then head to the Destiny Space.


    At that time, he would be able to summon [Miss Chen Li] out to help at will.


    This current situation was a dilemma for Han Dong.


    "Time is short..."


    "Very short indeed, but if you promise, I can grant a ''wish'' within a certain limit."


    "Mr. ck and White, can I give you an answer in a week''s time?" Han Dong wanted to see how well he had progressed in a week''s time before making a decision.


    "No... a decision must be made now."


    "I have one condition."


    "Go ahead."


    "Hopefully, within these two weeks, in addition to learning the abilities of ''gue Science'' with Instructor Pasha, you will also help me learn the relevant abilities regarding ''Summoning''."
