I have never seen such a shameless person before. After seeing Ji Bais unexpected actions Lin Tuos train of thought clogged up and stopped like a bunch of rusted gears. After a pause he managed to utter this sentence with trembling fingers.
Tch you can say whatever you want. I cant accept this errand. Ji Bai turned his head away he had an undaunted look on his face like a dead pig unafraid of scalding water.
Nyaa~ Nyaa Keer white cat-ears drooped as she heard his response. Dismay was evident in her amber eyes. Her small hands were wrapped around each other and a pitiful expression that would arouse the maternal instinct of anyone who would see her was written over her slumped face.
Only after waging a massive internal struggle within her mind did she finally agree to Lin Tuos suggestion to wear this unknown and yet indescribably embarrassing outfit. She had gathered up the last bits of her courage to be brazen enough and ask him to adopt her even after everything she had gone through all she received was just a ruthless rejection. She could only feel discouraged due to this.
Perhaps perhaps he hates me
Erm actually Ji Bai wanted to say something but hesitated. He was somewhat begrudging his decisions this was because he noticed that Keer was in the lounge emanating an aura of disappointment. Ji Bai may have quickly agreed to this matter if it happened a year ago. But as of now he didnt want anybody to approach him; People might misunderstand his intentions but he simply just didnt wish to harm anybody thus even if he was extremely helpless he could only forcefully reject other people.
Oh my! Look at my forgetfulness I almost forgot about official business. Just as the scene was moving towards an awkward silence Lin Tuo patted his head and exclaimed in a serious manner. His words had attracted the gaze of the silent Ji Bai and Keer.
Wait This isnt official business? Ji Bai asked suspiciously.
Oh. Well this is just something in passing. Alright! Lets leave this matter behind us for now Lin Tuo intended to shove this matter behind them and settle it on a later date.
No Wait. Lets talk it over first. I still say that
Lets not talk about it yet. Its more important to settle the official matters on hand. The two of you should follow me. Without allowing Ji Bai to explain his position Lin Tuo forcefully interrupted his words and motioned them to follow him.
This guys doing this on purpose. Ji Bai raised his eyebrows and shot a profound glance at Lin Tuo while he and Keer followed after the culturized gangsters footsteps.
Say how much space does this illegal orga ahem I mean chivalric group of yours exactly occupy? Ji Bai couldnt figure out anything since the entrance he was rather amazed as he stepped out of the halls passageway; It was a panoramic view of a spacious site with rows and rows of cement buildings springing out of the ground.
You just tried to say illegal organization didnt you? The corners of Lin Tuos mouth slightly twitched. Ive never really calculated how large it is specifically however if I am to harbor a guess it should be enough to hold more than ten soccer matches simultaneously. With the audience seats accounted for as well.
Tch! Tch! Capitalism is indeed evil.
As Ji Bai was clicking his tongue in wonder a mild sense of disbelief swept past him. His eyes glanced over Keer whose height difference when compared to him1 was extremely adorable.
Nyaa? Nyaa~?
Hey Lin Tuo is it really a good idea to set a demon like this loose inside a human organization? Youre just having her walk around freely like this. If shes discovered by other humans As he looked at Keers adorable face Ji Bai realized that her harmless playful and cute personality had momentarily made him forget about her true identity as a demon.
Wouldnt it be very eye-catching if this cat girl walked on the street?
Youre just making a big fuss out of nothing. Once you stay here for a few days you will begin to realize Forget it. As long as you understand that shes absolutely safe in this area that will do. Lin Tuo had seemingly wanted to explain something but just stopped after thinking about it. He then continued to walk while bringing Ji Bai and Keer along.
Is it really safe for her? Ji Bai was still skeptical.
Compared to worrying about her you ought to watch over yourself first. You should do some preparation exercises or something and dont get too nervous Oh thats right have you eaten breakfast yet? If you havent then you should hurry up and eat. There might not be a chance for you to do so in the near future.
What do you mean? Why do I feel like Ill die within 3 chapters just from your tone alone? Ji Bai narrowed his eyes.
Well thats why I said that this is official business. Lin Tuos expression on his face was grinning he turned his head and patted Ji Bais shoulder.
I forgot to tell you this. But every probation member that enters our organization has two exams they need to go through. The first is a written examination and the other As he spoke up to this point Lin Tuo seemed to have thought of something funny. He looked at Ji Bai maliciously. Mhm a practical examination.
A practical examination? An exam for what? It isnt necessary for a man to be handsome however its necessary for them to learn how to commit vehicle theft or something2?
No. No. No. The purpose of having a practical examination is to assess how well the examinee is able to combine their physical response time capability martial art strength and endurance altogether it is also to test whether they can handle and use the said skills effectively.
Cant you talk like a human being? Ji Bai had roughly guessed what the serf named Lin Tuo was laughing about.
Cough cough. Mhm to put it in common terms youre just there to be thrashed Pfft that came out wrong to put it properly. Youre there for a battle drill. Lin Tuo forcefully stopped the laughter in his heart as he replied in a serious expression.
While they were talking the three had already reached a square-shaped building whose walls were constructed with glass.
Get going! Get going! The newcomers that just entered the group are all ready and waiting. Youre the only one left. Once you join them the whole group can go down for a beating. Lin Tuo ignored the weird gaze that Ji Bai gave him he impatiently pushed the glass door open. His heart was eagerly anticipating the beautiful scene of Ji Bai being beaten black and blue.
Ji Bai gave a faint smile. He could roughly tell what this pleb was thinking about just from his expression alone. As he stuck out his chest he entered the building. On the other hand Keer was still hiding behind Ji Bais back in a shy manner almost as if she was Ji Bais tail.
The interior of the building was in a rectangular shape without any excessive ornaments lying about. In the middle was a rectangular pit surrounded by iron fences below it was a true-to-form arena. As if they were intentionally trying to prevent anything being hit the walls of the pit were wrapped up with various types of mechanical armor and lacquered wood chips.
While there wasnt anyone on the upper layer the bottom of the pit was currently very lively.
There were a group of teenagers wearing protective equipment like chain-mails shoulder guards and knee-guards. Longswords spears and various sorts of knightly weapons were clenched in their hands they were trembling with fear as they saw the person that was at their opposite side. It was a big man wearing a set of full-body heavy plate armor his head was the only thing that was exposed. Even though he was facing a large number of enemies on his own the big man was rather carefree. Without looking at the nervous bunch of youngsters in front of him he was minding his business and moving his joints as if he was stretching imperceptibly emitting a sense of heavy pressure.
