Chapter 263: Chapter 245: The First Periodic Exam on Mystical Knowledge (Combined)

On the coach heading to the airport, the slightly plump student Wang Fan plugged in his earphones, intently watching a live news broadcast on his phone.

On the screen, a sweet-smiling reporter with a standard oval face followed the camera to a devastated woodland area.

"Dear viewers, the place behind me is the epicenter of the recent emergency evacuation event in Lindong City. As you can see, it’s in complete disarray, resembling the aftermath of a category 12 typhoon. This was why, at the time, the Investigation Bureau required a citywide urgent evacuation of Lindong City."

"This disastrous event, under the combined efforts of the Investigation Bureau and various parties, has led us to a glorious victory, preventing Mysterious Evil from setting foot in Lindong City."

"They are heroes, our silent guardians, the heroes of Dong Huang."

"Now, let’s interview Director Zhou Hai."

The live broadcast was filled with incessant comments.

Some were shouting "Wife" at the reporter, but most were focused on the major disaster of that day.

"So it was actually that serious, no, it was brutal! An intense battle erupted where we couldn’t see!"

"I’m from Lindong City myself. When the authorities ordered a forced evacuation, I wasn’t pleased at all, especially since I was only halfway through using the toilet. But now, all I want to say is thank you."

"+1+1, we evacuated at noon and came back in the evening. I thought the higher-ups were making a big deal out of nothing—what disaster? We were back in no time. Nothing was missing from Lindong, but now it seems that it’s not that the disaster wasn’t serious, it’s just that, it was all blocked from our view."

"Salute to the heroes!"

"Salute to the heroes!"

"Salute to the heroes!"

"When does the Investigation Bureau start recruiting comprehensively? Although I weigh over 200 pounds, have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and 1000-degree myopia, I also have a heart to defend my country!"

Wang Fan shifted his gaze from the girl-next-door reporter to the comments, feeling delighted inside.

He had been there, a hero. He never imagined that one day he would be the hero people talked about.

It was like drinking ice-cold watermelon juice in the scorching summer heat, how refreshingly satisfying.

Uh, but... they had been present on the scene, aside from helping out a bit with defense in the beginning, they had mostly been spectators for the rest of it.

Being called heroes felt a bit embarrassing.

They weren’t worthy of it yet.

At the very least, they would need to slay a few Mysterious Evils to truly earn the name of heroes.

The student sharing Wang Fan’s earphones in the next seat nodded,

"I feel the same way. After we return from special training, we will be able to truly join the battlefield—heh, but I wonder where they will be sending us for training."

"I heard it’s not at the headquarters but in a special place. Ah, I’m so looking forward to it!"

"Who wouldn’t look forward to it!"

Wang Fan thought to himself.

Ye Luo was outstanding during the assessment and might awaken soon, but his progress was even more astonishing.

At first, he only joined the assessment to try it out; then, he trained hard not to be left behind, and eventually, he stood out from thousands of students.

Could he really be this strong?

He sure had the makings of a main character! This time, with a special opportunity, even if Ye Luo had already awakened, Emperor Wang Fan was confident of catching up and surpassing him.

He would rise from obscurity to suppress an entire era.

Ha ha ha ha—!

...

Huh~

Several of the Investigation Bureau’s private jets landed on the runway at the Ignite · Pacific Ocean base.

The sight outside the window, the thin haze that enveloped the land and the imposing buildings in the distance, unveiled before the students’ eyes.

Excited and thrilled, they couldn’t help but shout.

Among these students, including many formal investigators, it was their first time here, while some were returning for advanced courses.

Those were more familiar with the place.

Under the guidance of the veteran instructors, students like Wang Fan hurried to the newcomer reception area.

The place was bustling with noise. Given the many new exchange students at the Investigation Bureau, the reception department, which was a small office with only a few staff members, had to issue tasks, recruiting some instructors and teaching assistants to help as temporary workers.

You’ve got to start as a teaching assistant.

Ordinary students and graduates weren’t qualified to take on these tasks.

The reception represented the facade of Ignite, tasked with not only welcoming unawakened regular exchange students but also those coming for further studies, as well as overseeing elites from various countries ready to head to the ’Awakening Site’ at the Pacific Ocean base.

The demands were high, and so were the benefits.

Ye Luo, leveraging his status as a teaching assistant, secured the position of ’Silver Receptionist’ at the newcomer reception.

He was in charge of greeting officials, experts from different countries, or large groups of exchange students.

At that moment, seeing a group of Dong Huang exchange students approaching, Ye Luo went up to meet them.

In the group,

students like Wang Fan listened to the introductions from the old instructors, expressing their amazement.

"Here, with various kinds of facilities and nutritional potions, if you train hard, can one day’s improvement really equal half a month or a month’s normal progress?"

"And if you pass the Awakening slot assessment, are you likely to awaken?"

"Here, the second-tier roam everywhere, while the first-tier are less than dogs?"

"Sss—! To think there’s such a place in the world!"

The distinguished students from the Investigation Bureau’s training camp felt like country bumpkins entering the city, unable to hold back their exclamations.

And they couldn’t wait.

They couldn’t wait to start training, to pass the assessment, to awaken.
