Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Cass Team

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Pasha was initially surprised, but on closer examination, she found something amiss.

“This boy hasn’t fully formed his ‘Plague Constitution’ yet. He’s merely controlling the plague using this Ghoul Arm.

That’s right, in just two weeks, wanting to fully achieve a ‘Plague Constitution’ and proficiently control the plague is utterly impractical.

As Mr. Black White mentioned, he should focus primarily on his hand and conduct targeted training.”

About half an hour passed.

All kinds of microbes slowly receded from Han Dong’s body.

For Han Dong, who was completely immersed in ‘Plague Control,’ this period felt fleeting.

With a bottle of wine in one hand and gesturing towards Han Dong with the other, Pasha commended, “Not bad at all! You’ve learned the most basic control of the plague on your own! Come, let me ‘inspect’ your arm in detail.”

“Okay.”

What followed next…

Han Dong began to study the knowledge and application of diseases with Pasha. Her unique insights on ‘Plague Mastery’ were not in the textbooks.

After a day of individual instruction, Pasha was utterly exhausted.

This underground office had been converted by Pasha into a ‘personal living area,’ which even had a bathroom equipped with pipelines from the main tower.

“You’re not going to rest?!”

Mrs. Pasha didn’t have much regard for propriety.

She walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, holding a wine bottle in one hand.

Heading towards the bedroom, she found Han Dong showing no inclination to sleep. He was diligently reading at the office desk, making rapid notes with his right hand.

Even when faced with such an enticing ‘scenery,’ Han Dong did not take a glance.

“Um… you go ahead and sleep first, Mrs. Pasha. I prefer solving the ‘problems’ before sleeping.” Bang!

All of a sudden,

A bottle of red wine landed on the table, interrupting Han Dong’s train of thought.

“It’s a low alcohol wine; your body should be okay… You are my student; you must learn to drink. Otherwise, it would be so dull for the years to come! Drink a little while reading, it can even be rejuvenating.”

“Er… Okay.”

Han Dong’s train of thought was interrupted, prompting him to take a glance to the side.

His gaze leveled exactly with the indescribable regions below the neck.

How much can a towel cover? Furthermore, for thirty years, Han Dong had never been in such close proximity to a girl, let alone to a young female teacher of exceptional beauty and physique, wrapped only in a towel.

For a moment, Han Dong felt somewhat dazed.

He quickly looked away.

“Haha… You’re really focused on the book! Remember to drink, I’m going to sleep first.”

Upon seeing Han Dong’s ‘shy’ reaction, Pasha left satisfied.

The indescribable beauty took root in Han Dong’s mind, affecting his thoughts. Suddenly, Han Dong used a ‘Substitution Method’ to change his mental state.

“Don’t let your mind wander… Wait! Wasn’t the contour just now like the number ‘3’? The non-dimensional parameter for acquiring a ‘Plague Constitution’ is 300, then…”

Han Dong successfully made a cognitive shift and continued being engrossed in the ocean of knowledge.

“This boy.”

Pasha, leaning on the bedroom door, sipped on her wine while stealthily observing Han Dong.

“Maybe, he is really different…”

Han Dong was a real study-holic. Once he got into studying, it was common for him to forget meals and sleep. Pulling all-nighters was not a big deal for him.

Once he felt his energy couldn’t keep up and that the efficiency was half the effort, he’d fall fast asleep. He had a pretty good handle on his learning.

Maintaining a high-intensity routine of studying and training.

The life in the ‘Old Sewers’ went by in a flash. A week had already passed.

[National Royal Academy of Knights -Adventurer’s Guild]

Every day, an endless stream of Apprentice Knights come here.

Most of them are of two stars or above (two stars, meaning they have been allocated two Fate Points, all will be simply referred to in this manner), looking for suitable bounty tasks for themselves.

The bounty tasks are roughly divided into two types.

The first is the ‘Clearly Defined Type’, where professionals have thoroughly inspected the task location, and all the detailed task information is written on the bounty sheet, and there won’t be any significant deviation.

There are less of these types of tasks, and they are swiped away as soon as they’re made public.

The second is the ‘Undefined Type,’ which are often urgent incidents that have popped up, with surface information coming from some local security bureaus, resulting in a hastily compiled bounty sheet. These often have significant discrepancies.

There are more of these types of tasks, but because the difficulty varies greatly, relatively fewer people take them up.

The bounty task that Knight Cass and Han Dong cooperatively completed last time belonged to the second type.

Today, the three-star Cross Crusader, Cass Martini, comes here again.

His silver armor has been fully repaired.

However, his purpose for coming here this time is not only to look for suitable bounties, but also to meet with a group of friends… after all, the next [Fate Space] will open in a week.

As a three-star Cross Crusader and silver-ranked adventurer, Cass could be considered a somewhat famous Apprentice Knight.

He temporarily occupied a private room on the second floor of the Adventurer’s Guild, waiting for his friends to arrive.

“Cass. ”

Not too long later.

A curly blonde girl knocked and entered, carrying a Holy Crystal Magic Staff that was taller than herself.

A three-star [Library], a girl proficient in Holy Light Magic, she’s had a previous experience with Cass in the Fate Space… At a glance, she’s clearly more oriented toward being a support healer.

Upon seeing the golden-haired and handsome Knight Cass, the girl’s cheeks immediately turned a shade of red blush.

“Fiya… have you gotten used to the Fate Weapon?”

Fiya stuck out her tongue, “Of course, I can now do the ‘Three Points One Line’, enhancing the casting of Holy Light Magic through the Magic Staff.”

Afterward, Fiya shyly took a seat next to Cass.

The two of them have cooperated in two Fate events, and they trust each other completely…

Just as Fiya was about to whisper something.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking came.

Then, a brown-haired youth wearing cool goggles peered in.

He wore relatively extravagant metal decorations and various metal protectors on his body.

However, the most eye-catching was a homemade sniper rifle, the scope could reach four times optical magnification, and its precision control and adjustment were meticulous.

The youth was not very tall, only about 1.65 meters.

He himself was also a three-star [Machinery], proficient in gunmaking and long-range shooting.

“Captain Cass, Sister Fiya!”

“Koslin, long time no see!” Cass quickly stood up to greet him.

Koslin is a prodigy, Cass had noticed it when they first cooperated… Koslin could meticulously craft various precision mechanical tools to adapt to the battle situation at different times, greatly enhancing the team’s ‘adaptability’.

“Captain, did you not invite anyone else?”

“I met a friend in a Ghoul incident before, he’s only two-star. I thought I’d collect your opinions to see if we should have him join us at the next Fate event.”

“Two stars? What’s his main focus?”

“Mysticism.”

At these words, even Fiya, who had a good impression of Cass, was full of doubts.

The positioning of Mysticism is very broad, and Mysticism scholars are not that useful before they become true knights.

Considering this was a proposal from the captain, Koslin was more tactful in his words: “Boss Cass… a two-star mystic scholar, wouldn’t be much stronger than an ordinary person in terms of perception, right?

I think we should call him over, get to know him… before entering the [Fate Space], understand his real strength through some bounty tasks.

If he really is capable, then let’s have him join us..”
