Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Dealing with Miscellaneous Matters
Translator: 549690339
Any young man who can pass the newbie event, and whose potential and values reach the standards of the National Royal Academy of Knights can become an apprentice knight.
The school is not too strict in assessing human nature.
Although the school rules prohibit apprentice knights from fighting within the school.
However, some not so serious and unproven things are overlooked by the audit committee.
The most common is âextortion and robberyâ.
The four people who gathered at the student dormitory early in the morning obviously had ill-intentions.
These guys took up a high-difficulty bounty task from the Adventurerâs Guild three days ago. Due to a misjudgment, the situation escalated and they withdrew for fear of death.
The subsequent incident led to a large number of casualties in the civilian area.
As a result, they were held accountable and fined by the Adventurerâs Guild, their credit rating was lowered, and some bounty tasks were restricted.
Due to the heavy fines that need to be paid off within a week, they plan to rob enough wealth from some low-level apprentice knights within this time to cover it, otherwise, their status as apprentice knights could be affected.
The four of them have always been questionable characters.
In their records, there have been multiple incidents of breach of trust and suspected cases of extortion.
These people often hang around the entrance of the Adventurerâs Guild, pretending to form a team.
They trick an apprentice knight into joining their team and then extort from them during the task.
Some actions are even more heinous, deliberately sending teammates into danger, resulting in their âaccidental deathâ, and stealing all of their belongings.
These apprentice knights are like a rotten worms in the school.
But every single time, because the embezzled amounts arenât large and they act in secret, they always manage to evade legal sanctions.
The leader of the bunch is a three-star, the rest are all two-stars.
Tonight, it seems that this group has good luck, by chance, they encountered this âsicklyâ young man who was holding a unique tool.
You canât just randomly rob and extort, you must first ascertain the targetâs identity.
All too nice on the outside, everyone understands this principle.
Among these students, a mechanic apprentice activates the âteam functionâ of his spring device.
The spring device can recognize some basic information about the apprentice knights when close by.
Originally, it was a way to view your teammateâs basic information.
Now, these guys use it to verify the identity of the ârobbery and extortionâ target.
The four of them have forcibly taken Han Dong to the restroom on the first floor of the building, nobody knows what is happening here.
âValen Nicholas, Mysterious Department student, with a common lecturer as a tutor, just entered school two weeks ago. Looks like weâre in luck, he is just a lamb ready for the slaughter.â
Han Dongâs Fate Items, his ring, and dagger are all in his backpack.
In their eyes, Han Dong, with his small and thin stature, coupled with yellowish skin from malnutrition, is probably an apprentice knight who rose from the civilian area. They donât need to worry about his background at all.
The leader of the groupâs name is Helle, a three-star mechanic apprentice.
Unlike Koslin, his specialty is machinery modification.
Under his multi-layered clothes, his body, altered with metal parts, hides a special body. He even has a steam-powered core embedded in his chest.
His modified body makes Helleâs physical strength slightly superior to that of three-star Crusaders of the same tier.
âHand over all your valuable things and the copper coins on you⊠Raven, remember to jam the devices the whole time, donât let this kid record anything.â
âYes.â
Helle already set his sights on Han Dongâs carrying case.
He reaches out to grab it.
Smack!
Han Dong forcefully retaliates, grabbing Helleâs wrist.
They seem to be evenly matched in strength.
Creak creak! Furthermore, the metallic arm made creaking noises under the grip of Han Dongâs right hand.
At the same time, Han Dongâs eyes that were staring at him, were full of murderous intent.
The G-Virus progenitor he painstakingly obtained was just about to be taken back for research when it was blocked by these people⊠Han Dong has always been a good young man who adhered to core values.
But this act has touched Han Dongâs bottom line.
Meanwhile, a strong smell of plague began to spread.
âMystical Studies- Plague! Scatter!â
Helle and his group, who had plenty of combat experience, spread out and quickly put on their âgogglesâ, which had a filtering function.
âDidnât he just start school two weeks ago? How can he manipulate the plague?â
Staring at the plague aura that was emanating from Han Dong and the mushroom spores forming on the clean ground, he did not seem like a first-semester freshman at all. fđeđđ°đbđođđl.cđŒm
âItâs four against one, we can still restrain him⊠grab the briefcase from his hand and walk away! Donât make a big scene.â
Han Dong immediately retorted, âWalk? Do you think you can escape?â
The thing that angered Han Dong the most was these lowly scum. Mankind was already in peril, but there were still these trash causing internal strife.
Then.
Plenty of ash particles fluttered in the air, and the temperature suddenly rose.
Cling-clankâŠ
Togu, who had just gone through the entirety of the battles in âBiohazard 2â and had his combat skills polished, appeared at the restroom door.
Taking heavy steps, and staring at the group with his pitch-black pupils.
âMystical Studies â Stitched Creatures?!â
And it wasnât over.
Sizzle⊠The restroom lights flared strangely.
The last stall in the restroom.
A slender, sinister womanâs hand suddenly appeared through the door gap.
SqueakâŠ
The door slowly opened.
A black-haired woman in a red dress stood inside.
This scene terrified the two men in the group who suffered from âfear of Evil Spiritsâ, causing them to break into cold sweats and back away.
Han Dong muttered,
âA jammerâŠthen you should be unable to record or leave any evidence, right? Hand over all the copper coins you have on you, and Iâll forget this ever happened.â
On the other side.
Knight Cass, who wore casual attire, rushed down the stairs, meeting Koslin, who wore mechanical goggles and carried a handgun, in the student dormitory hall.
The first moment Han Dong noticed this group of men harboring ill intentions and approaching him, he immediately sent messages to his two teammates to come downstairs to help.
Cass and Koslin both had Han Dong set as a âspecial contactâ, so they were notified of the message even in silent mode.
âThis trash actually picked on Aron⊠just the right time to teach them a lesson.â
Cass was well aware of a group of people like this who specialized in extorting new Knights. He didnât need to interfere⊠but now that his friend was involved, it was different.
âThereâs a ruckus in the restroom!â
An enraged Cass activated âCrusader Zealotâ, and kicked open the restroom door.
However, the scene inside stunned him at the doorway, causing him to momentarily lose his next course of action.
Four young men were âscatteredâ in different places in the restroom: hung on the stall, lying on the washstand, slumped in the corner, head dunked in the toilet.
And Han Dong was squatting in front of these incapacitated young men, making a bank transfer through a mechanical device.
Three-Star Mechanic Apprentice â Helle.
His two metallic arms had been severed by chains, and he was curled up in pain.
Han Dong spoke softly: âCass, thereâs no recording of this incident, and there are no bystanders, can you take care of this?â
Cass noticed Han Dongâs dark circles, âAron, leave this to me now⊠I have some internal channels to handle this. You seem really tired, go back and rest.â
âThanks, Iâll contact you later, got a bit busy recently.â
âGo on, leave everything to me.â
Cass gave an OK sign, making Han Dong feel completely at ease.
And so, Han Dong, who was already exhausted, patted Cassâs shoulder, picked up his briefcase and walked out of the restroom.
Cass was staring at this group of battered and scared lowlife worms.
He stood with his hands on his hips, allowing an exasperated smile to creep onto his face.
