“The special mission I have for you is this:
For the elite training this time around, six selected newcomers will form a special squad based on their original teams.
One of my assistants will secretly ensure the safety of your team.
But they will not cover for your serious mistakes.”
“Abe. Rhein!”
“Present!”
Abe kneels on one knee, supporting his body with his right fist and respectfully bowing his head.
His eyes show no trace of familial sentiment, akin to a soldier accepting an important command from his superior.
“You will be the captain of this special squad.”
“Understood!”
“Valen. Nicholas!”
“Present.”
“You will act as the chief of staff and deputy captain for this special squad, fully assisting Abe.”
“Understood.”
Captain Kaimon’s next words are extremely firm, resonating directly in their minds:
“Together, you two will manage the six-person squad and ensure the safety of all its members.
If there is any severe casualty during the training, you will be held accountable.
In contrast, if you can lead the squad to meet all the related requirements of the training without any deaths, you will be deemed ‘excellent’ on your evaluations.
Any questions?”
Since Captain Kaimon has arranged it this way, Han Dong naturally cannot refuse.
As far as Han Dong is concerned, he doesn’t wish to take up such a post Han Dong has a tendency to act alone.
Besides, there are too many unknown factors outside the city walls, plus his contact with the Mysterious Yellow Robe.
If an abnormal situation occurs outside the city, the chances of his secret being exposed will greatly increase Of course, he can also shift the blame to Mia or use her as a shield.
“Establishing a temporary relationship with Mia might not be a bad idea.”
“That’s all for now, I hope you prepare well afterwards and don’t disappoint me.”
“Understood!”
Han Dong left the scene first.
Han Dong felt it necessary to report the day’s events to Mr. Black White.
After seeing Han Dong leave, the smile on Abe Rhein’s face instantly vanished, he turned to Captain Kaimon with a strange look on his face.
“Grandfather, this man is a bit strange not just his appearance, but also the handshake we just had.
In my view, his standards are only slightly above the average.
However when I got close to him, or when I had direct eye contact with him, the ‘Hundred Beasts’ inside me felt a vague sense of danger.
It’s strange, it’s as if he’s hiding something extremely dangerous inside him more terrifying than my ‘Hundred Beasts’.”
Upon hearing this, Captain Kaimon showed no confusion. Instead, he was pleased. As he rubbed the giant fangs grown in his chin area, he said:
“Haha! It’s good that he’s strange, as he is a student chosen by the Crow.
If he’s not strange and only has average abilities, that would be the real issue.”
Abe curiously asked: “Does your arrangement, grandfather, have a special significance?
Even if you didn’t directly assign me as the squad leader,
given my prestige and power position among the newcomers, they will naturally elect me as their leader in the future.
If this student of the Crow Prophet possesses special abilities and outstanding decision-making skills, he will naturally become the pillar of the team when encountering dangerous events.”
Kaimon patiently explained to his grandson:
“The purpose of my actions is merely to pre-establish the ‘relations’ between you two.
I hope this student chosen by the Crow can become friends with you.
With your talent and unique physical constitution, you will inevitably inherit the position of the leader of the Behemoth Knight Group in the future.
However, if you want to bring the Knight Group to a higher level, it won’t be easy.
If this man can develop to the same level as you in the future, and given the bond you two forge through life and death, invite him to become the chief of staff of the Behemoth Knight Group.
This will directly take the overall strength of the Knight Group one step forward.”
Abe looked surprised, he had never seen his grandfather hold a person in such high esteem:
“Grandfather, have you seen anything special about him? Is he that powerful?”
“No I’m not trusting this kid, I’m simply believing in the Crow’s judgement The Crow’s position in the Holy City is even higher than many of us leaders.
A student chosen by the Crow must be on par with the Crow in talent, even higher, or possesses something special we can’t detect.”
“I really want to meet this Crow Prophet when I get the chance.”
“You’ll get your chance For now, just maintain a good relationship with this student, and try to uncover some of his secrets.”
“Understood.”
“Mr. Black White really has a lot of influence, I didn’t expect him to have such a deep connection with Captain Kaimon.
Speaking of which, using the power given by the ‘Fate Space,’ humans can actually evolve to this extent.
If a giant beast like Captain Kaimon were to go to the world I came from, he would be like a walking humanoid nuclear bomb, perhaps even disrupting the balance of the world.”
Han Dong could tell that Captain Kaimon had such high hopes for him, solely because of his relationship with Mr. Black White.
Just as Han Dong stepped out of the arena,
He was immediately held tightly by two soft and slender arms. He knew without guessing who it was.
“Wow! Captain Kaimon let you and Abe have a private conversation What did you guys talk about, will you tell me?”
Han Dong did not answer Mia’s question, but instead asked: “Do you know Abe?”
“Among the new students, you’re probably the only one who doesn’t know him! Who wouldn’t know the name Abe Rhein? He is Kaimon’s eldest grandson. When he joined, the difficulty of his newcomer event reached a four and a half star rating.
Furthermore, Abe’s comprehensive test score was a full mark upon admission! An extremely rare perfect score.
He is regarded as an exceptional talent in the Beast Control Domain that comes once in a hundred years.
Rumor has it, Abe possesses a sort of special beast-endowed constitution. His actual potential might even surpass his grandfather, that is, Captain Kaimon.”
“Is he really that powerful?”
“Right but no matter how powerful Abe is, I wouldn’t give him a second glance. I am only interested in you!”
“Can you do me a favor tonight?”
“Sure!”
“I want detailed information on the six newcomers this time. Can you help me sort it out?”
“There’s nothing to sort out there How about this? Come and spend the night in my treehouse tonight I can tell you slowly while in bed.
I can tell you anything you want to know, even my secrets!”
Mia’s hint is clear, but Han Dong isn’t interested.
“Can you come with me to the Stargazing Room first? I have something to see Mr. Black White about.”
“Ah Okay, alright.”
Mia hesitates slightly, she doesn’t seem prepared to meet Mr. Black White yet.
