Chapter 165 - Scouting Mission (1) (1/2)

At a particular wooden house situated nearby the camping area...

After leaving his two knives with the guards outside, Jeremy walked into the wooden house.

*Knock* *Knock*

Jeremy knocked on the working room's door two times, awaiting a reply from the other side.

”Come in...” said the man in his early 20s from within the working room.

Having heard the approval, Jeremy turned the doorknob, opening the door before walking inside.

At this time, Kahn Lochner's working room appeared to be more decorated than Jeremy's last visit.

Except for the table, chair, and weapon hanger, there was another table with a set of four chairs situated some meters away from Kahn's worktable.

”What do you need from me, Mister Samson?” asked Kahn after seeing the middle-aged man, Tommy, come into the room.

Looking around the room for a bit, Jeremy looked Kahn in the eyes and said,

”I want to volunteer for a special scouting mission...”

”Oh?”

Kahn, who was about to write down the paper on his desk, promptly stopped his action and raised his head in wonder.

After all, volunteering to do a dangerous mission on their own was something a sane person would never do, so Kahn looked at the middle-aged man before him deeply as if to gauge the latter's intention.

Shortly after having thought about Tommy's three traits, Kahn finally realized that he himself was too paranoid in this situation. The middle-aged man before him was too good of a person to be suspected.

Kahn knew all too well that he was afraid something unexpected would happen to the camp, causing the human side to lose the kenkus in this life-or-death battle.

After realizing his paranoia, Kahn sighed lightly before opening his mouth,

”Alright, you know the departure time is in thirty minutes, right?”

”I know...” replied Jeremy.

Hearing the reply, Kahn inquired further,

”Which team do you want to join specifically?”

Simultaneously, Jeremy fell into a brief thought, thinking about who he wanted to be teamed up with.

After a few seconds, Jeremy shook his head slightly before answering,

”No, I will be okay with any team you pick for me.”

”I understood. Hmm... Then, team 5, it is. I will notify the scout team about your calling to join. Regarding the departure, well, you have to arrive here, in front of this house, within the next 25 minutes. Now, you may go to prepare your own things, farewell.”

Upon finishing his words, Kahn started writing down the paper once again, signifying the end of their short meeting.

”Alright...”

Having said goodbye in his own way, Jeremy walked outside the wooden house, retrieving the two knives from the guards before walking back to his tent in the camping area not far from here.
