Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Issue of Position

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Mr. Black White… I don’t understand, why ‘reproduce’ my previous assessment experience?”

Mr. Black White casually gestured in the air, drawing two intersecting star

lines in mid-air.

“Lines of fate… I unexpectedly noticed your fates intertwining while stargazing last night. And I couldn’t see the future of these intersecting lines clearly, so I decided to do this on purpose.

So, are you satisfied with this kind of test result, Mrs. Pasha?”

A complete reproduction.

She didn’t know how Mr. Black White replicated her past experiences.

Although Pasha’s face didn’t change much, she was slightly moved.

That was her once.

Because she wasn’t proficient in any fighting skills at that time, she wanted to team up with other apprentice knights to clear stages. However, she was hindered by a slashed ankle in the Dark Moon Forest and lost her mobility.

Her teammates abandoned her without a second thought.

Facing the incoming monsters, she thought she was as good as dead. Yet when she woke up, she was in the infirmary of the tower… She failed the test, but due to the personnel shortage in the Mysterious Department at that time, she was retained.

However, none of the instructors wanted to mentor her with such grades. Without any resources, Pasha persisted in the ‘darkest’ place with her unique talent and determination.

In the end, she was recognized by Mr. Black White, allowing her to join Plague Knights and stay in the academy as a teacher.

It seemed like an inspiring story, but hardly anyone knows how much pain Pasha had endured, how much despair she had gone through to climb from the bottom.

She considered suicide more than ten times.

In the test screen of the crystal ball.

Mr. Black White deliberately deleted Han Dong’s final answer. Overall, it seemed like Han Dong willingly chose to stay and protect Pasha, clearing the stages together.

“Hmm…”

Maintaining the serious expression of a teacher, Pasha returned the crystal ball to Mr. Black White.

“Do you mean I should mentor this ‘excellent’ apprentice knight, Mr. Black White?”

“Yes, you will be the first mentor and I will be the second…”

“What!? Sir, aren’t you getting the order wrong?”

Pasha thought she had heard incorrectly.

If adopting dual-mentor model, she should be the second mentor… How could Mr. Black White be after her?

“I’m just a nominal presence, occasionally guiding in detail. Pasha, you are Nicholas’ main mentor, responsible for guiding him to understand Mysticism more deeply.

You and Nicholas are both proficient in ‘Plague.’ Given the issue of intersecting fate lines, it’s very appropriate for you to guide him in the early stages…

Nicholas, are you willing?”

When Mr. Black White turned his face to him, Han Dong quickly replied.? “I am willing. ”

Mr. Black White continued to ask:

“You currently only excel in ‘Plague kind’ abilities?”

This question made Han Dong’s heart pound, especially when he was looking at the black mask. He felt as if his entire inner world had been seen through… Han Dong was very worried that his secret would be exposed in front of such a person.

“Hmm…” Han Dong remained calm and nodded.

“Then there is no problem, about ‘Plague Studies’. Although there are several masters in Mysticism who are very good at it, Mrs. Pasha is definitely the most suitable one to guide you.

As for resources, as long as you perform well enough, I can directly allocate resources to you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Black White.”

Han Dong knew exactly how much this sentence weighed, resources allocated directly by the department head.

In other words, as long as Han Dong meets the expected requirements, the department will be able to provide whatever he wants.

“Pasha, do you have any issues? If not, I’ll discuss with Nicholas more later, then let him go to your office to complete the relevant paperwork.”

“No problem.”

When Pasha got up to leave, she deliberately glanced at Han Dong, the frail freshman. Her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Click!

When the door closed, only Han Dong and Mr. Black White were left in the room.

“Could I take a close look at your right arm?”

Under such circumstances, how could Han Dong refuse? He could only extend his arm.

“Hmm… a purely Ghoul arm, without signs of stitching, as if it naturally grew on your body.

Even the professor of suturing in my department wouldn’t be able to stitch without any flaws.”

Mr. Black White’s words made a bead of cold sweat trickle down Han Dong’s neck.

“The secrets contained within you are ‘troublesome’, far more than any other apprentice knight I’ve seen… to the point that I can’t even divine a glimpse of your future image.

However, since even I can’t see through your ‘disguise’, no one in the Holy City would be able to either.

You aren’t ‘Valen Nicholas’, right?”

“No… but I’m still human.”

Han Dong answered decisively.

In front of such a person, concealing facts would only exacerbate the situation… Han Dong immediately shifted the focus onto the word ‘human,’ emphasizing his position.

“Very clever answer, but you don’t need to worry too much… No matter what you are, as long as your stance is righteous, I will regard you as a normal apprentice knight.

So, now you need to answer a question, what’s your stance?”

“Whatever my nature is, that’s my stance.”

“Hmm…”

Mr. Black White continued to ask: “Congratulations, you’ve become a member of Mysticism. Do you want your results to be published on the bulletin board of each floor?”

“If possible, no need to publish, just announce that I have passed the test. As Mr. Black White is worried, it’s better for me to not attract too much attention, so as to avoid drawing the attention of others.”

“Hmm… you’ve managed to fool the interviewers and investigators, well done. As you’re now my student, whatever resources you need, as long as you can meet your ‘target’, I will provide for you… Speaking of which, we must discuss a short-term and important goal.’

“Alright.” Han Dong listened very earnestly.

“After becoming an apprentice knight, you still need to go to the Fate Space regularly. Each department has its own criteria. If not met, the department’s resource allocation will be relatively reduced… Although the standards for Mysticism are not high, due to the small number of new students, the arrangement for the number of people for the next visit to the Fate Space falls short. You need to be prepared in the short term.”

“Short term, how long?”

“About two weeks.”

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

He wanted to learn to conceal and explain his ‘summoning’ ability before going to the Fate Space. By then, he could summon [Miss Chen Li] to help as he wished.

Under the current situation, Han Dong was quite troubled.

“The time is too tight…”

“Indeed it is very tight, but if you agree, I can grant a ‘wish’ within a certain limit.”

“Mr. Black White, could I give you my answer in a week? I want to see my learning progress in a week before deciding.”

“No… you must make a decision now.”

“I have a condition.”

“Speak.”

“I hope that in these two weeks, in addition to learning the ability of ‘Plague Studies’ under Mrs. Pasha, I can also learn about ‘summoning’ related abilities..”
