Chapter 449: Scouted (2/2)
Arthur couldn't help but sneer when he heard the words 'three kings' from Shin. ”Heh! Three Kings? Now, this is interesting – it even makes me become more motivated to crush them.”
Then he raised his head and looked at Shin with a smug face while asking. ”Which group do you think is better? The so-called Three Kings? Or us, the Monster Trio?”
Meanwhile, Leonard fell into a deep thought the moment he heard those words. ”So, they are the ones that my master is talking about. Now, I see why he warned me to be careful around them.”
”I am not going to discuss their strengths since the two of you are quite eager to experience it personally.” On the other hand, Shin ignored their remarks and resumed eating before continuing after a few bites. ”There are not the only ones that we need to look out for.”
”There is also a young assassin who came from the Lost Soul Continent. He is given the nickname of 'Lone Wolf' as he is always alone. But others are also quite afraid of him since his skills are a real deal.”
”What's next are the twins of the Sun-Moon Continent. Those two are a strong pair of Martial-Artist, but what made them even more noticeable is their talents. One of them is good at using all kinds of weapons while the other is skilled at creating different kinds of gadgets.”
”The Dark Continent also sent a quite promising contender. He is a Kaleidoscope Mentalist with a mysterious combat talent. I heard that he also ranked in the top along with Jean Camus during the entrance exam.”
After that, Shin started listing out all of the other participants who were most likely the top contenders for the upcoming special recruitment exams.

Meanwhile, somewhere within the Magical Ace Academy.
A young man was traveling under the shadow of the night, dodging all of the security cameras and within the vicinity.
A few moments later, he arrived at a house within the school before entering it as naturally as possible.
Inside that place was an old man who was currently sitting on a rocking chair. And as if he was expecting the arrival of the young man, he slightly opened his eyes before asking. ”I already told you that you can't come to this place whenever you want.”
Hearing that, the young man immediately lowered his head and kneeled on the ground while saying. ”I am sorry, Sir! But there is something that I really need to report as soon as possible.”
The old man couldn't help but become interested when he saw the urgency in the young man's words. 'This kid rarely acts like this, I wonder what kind of news is it.'
”So, what is it?” asked the old man.
Seeing that the old man was showing some interest, the young man quickly opened his mouth and started reporting. ”It is about the kid that you asked me to keep an eye on. I think that he finally arrived at the City.”
The moment he said those words, the old man suddenly shot up from his seat had quickly asked. ”Are you sure about that?”
The young man kept on nodding his head and answered. ”Yes, sir! I clearly saw him in the school plaza earlier when his group encountered the 'Three Kings' of the East.”
Hearing the confirmation, the old man suddenly started laughing out loud. ”Finally! Someone with the 'Spiritual Embryo' special body! Finally!”
After that, he looked at the kneeling young man in front of him before saying. ”Quick! Arrange a meeting with that child! I really need to persuade him to join our department.”
”I can't do that yet, Sir! He is still not a student of the School. The other professors are going to misunderstand if you meet him right now,” said the young man, calming the old man's excitement.
”Oh! You are right. I forgot about the so-called policy that they made right before the special selection exam,” said the old man as he came back to his senses.
Though, he immediately added after a slight pause. ”But it doesn't mean that I can't check at the applicants' abilities first. After all, I have some privileges.”
”But Sir!-…” the young man wanted to protest about it but his words couldn't be heard by the old man any longer.
The old man just ignored him and started walking out of the house while muttering some words to himself.
Seeing that, the young man could only shake his head helplessly as he knew that it was impossible to stop the old man at this point in time. All he could do was pray for the poor soul of the new target of the old man's interest. ”I hope that he will not scare the kid from joining our department.”
