Chapter 96 (2/2)
“And what’s his name?”
“It’s Jin Seh-Hahn”
“…Re funny, kick him out”
Jin Seh-Hahn
Actually, that was the fake identity Ki
It was easy to forge a fake identity with the help of the intelligence operatives he had fostered until now, but Sae-Jin’s was even ’s intervention as well
The biggest issue with his outer appearance was also taken care of, with so called ‘Partial Beastification’
Obviously, there was nothing he could do about his overall facial structure, but his eyelines, the nose and the jawline were all changed slightly to reseoatee to a ridiculous degree, he certainly looked like a totally different person altogether
As for his powerful scent – well, he acquired an artifact that emitted a very unpleasant odour in order to suppress his own
And the reason why he had to infiltrate Eden’s Knight evaluation test while going so far as to change his appearance, was…
One had to look back to a date four weeks ago: 14th of July
On a perfectly average Su with Yu Baek-Song within the Guild’s office
Now that she had relinquished the position of the Chief of the SID, Yu Baek-Song’s face seelad
“And when is the date for the inauguration ceremony for the vacant ministerial position?” (Sae-Jin)
“How should I know? It’ll be announced when it’s ready, I guess” (Yu Baek-Song)
Ki bribes as well as for collusion a to contact Sae-Jin, desperately searching for a way out, but Sae-Jin remained ruthless
“If you climb up to that position, you can finally find the information we talked about, yes?” (Sae-Jin)
“…Well, the thing is… I already had it checked out” (Yu Baek-Song)
At Yu Baek-Song’s words, Sae-Jin’s eyes went extra round
“But, that…”
“However, it’s not what you’ve been expecting, not at all That infor)
“…What do you mean?”
His momentary expectation morphed into cold disappointment real fast
“The reason is, I still lack the qualifications And so, all I could find out was just where the info )
Yu Baek-Song then sighed out deeply
“…And where could it be?” (Sae-Jin)
“The 2nd Tier Secret Records Archives, located in the upper mid floors of the tower of Eden It see for Eden”
“……”
“I’anization and is therefore the same as any other independent nation Obviously, it’s different from country to county, but no matter what, unless you’re a member of the Eden’s administration, it’s impossible to extract any information out from there”
Kis he had done until now became a waste of time, the amount of disappointined
What caer Besides the fact that his father was seeht orked for Eden, just what kind of truth precipitated a need to treat the information about him as a top secret and hide it away in a location on the tower’s upper mid floors?
“…So, in order to extract the relevant inforht of Eden”
“Theoretically, yep But just who can becoe? Ifor regular Orders, for crying out loud” (Yu Baek-Song)
If one wanted to becoet about one’s aspirations and enter the organization voluntarily
Meaning, after passing the test, one had to give up the chance of going to other Knights Orders and must choose to enter Eden instead
On top of this, considering the fact that the entrance was open to not just the local candidates but to the rest of the world, the entry barrier was actually a lot tougher than siot a single chance in life to voluntarily enter Eden, too
And so, the number of successful applicants that entered Eden in the past three years from South Korea was… just one
That showed just how rowth potential and abilities of its candidates…
“…”
“…”
In that ht back at him
Silently, a strange but knowing gaze was exchanged between the two of them
However, Ki a Hunter, and also he was just too faht affiliated with Eden, the group that emphasized on its members’ ‘dedication’ above all else
“…You said you can ht?”
Yu Baek-Song spoke first Although rare, artifacts that could alter a person’s appearance still existed
“Yes, I did”
Even though he said as much, the truth was, Sae-Jin didn’t really need an artifact
“I heard that Knights of Eden can freely commute as they please?” (Sae-Jin)
“Yeah, that’s right Those people in Eden receive coovernment, you see So they do have a lot of free time”
Ki in an evil manner
Wasn’t this just a perfect condition for him?
“But can you fight, like, really well?”
“It’s one of my Traits, so yes”
Of course, he hadn’t yet faced off against a Knight who used Mana at full power during sparring, but even when si on his physique as a ‘huht
“It’ll take so)
“…Why would it take tihts only value abilities, after all”
As long as he was careful about the potential ca, he’d be fine
And that’s how Kihts evaluation test as Jin Seh-Hahn
“Welcome, everyone”
Whenever there was an evaluation, Eden would often invite fahts to serve as temporary instructors And the person invited this time was someone rather familiar even to Sae-Jin
It was Joo Ji-Hyuk
He was putting on asto the crowd
“You’ll be participating in various tests once every day for the duration of one week You can choose to stay in the dormitory located in Eden Tower’s 1st floor, or alternatively, choose to commute from home…”
‘…Haaahhh’
While hearing this, Sae-Jin inwardly sighed out He wasn’t even shooting an episode of ‘Undercover Boss’ or so like that, and yet, here he was…
“For now, you will take a seat and be on standby Carry on”
As Sae-Jin was going through the emotions of shame, he missed the end of Joo Ji-Hyuk’s announce into a bit of panic
“…What the hell”
The applicants ere already faroups of sa the test, or those who cahbourhood, etc, etc…
There was seeht cliques, and soon, all 204 applicants began sending chilly gazes of contempt towards Sae-Jin’s direction, after the ru the initial evaluation without a hassle thanks to his great Trait had permeated to everywhere already
And so, he had beco out in less than three seconds
“…Is he the one?”
“Dunno what Trait he has, but it must’ve been pretty nice, huh?”
“I heard it from my mom that he’s a buy and stuff!!”
While eavesdropping on the conversations going on around hih out inwardly again Didn’t hts or not, the fact remained that they were still a bunch of kids
“But, hot rid of that beard?”
“…So what The fact is, he is still so off on that lottery win of his”
He then caught onto sohost, and his head snapped towards the direction almost like a reflex
He saw a pair of boy and girl He ht as well call them a handsome couple or some such There were only two of them and not one more, and there was no one else around them, either
“…Huh? Isn’t he looking over here? Do you think he ht come over?”
The boy spoke with an interested voice
“If he comes, then tell him to scram”
But the girl’s was rather sardonic, instead
‘I’ me’
After slyly appraising them over, Sae-Jin shook his head and plopped down on where he stood, before he began stroking the lengthy beard that grew along his jawline There was so quite addictive about it as he played around with it
