Chapter 600

After all four hundred plus cleaners exited, the “talents” they each manifested completely disappeared. Leon’s body, which had been continuously eroded by various strange “talents,” finally returned to its original state.

Even though he was still sitting between the two strongest “talents,” his body continued to be scorched by flying feathers and cut by sharp air currents hidden in the gray mist, but his face was now clearly visible. This opponent that the bureau director repeatedly warned him about really gave off a feeling of…

being quite ordinary.

After staring at Leon’s eyebrows and facial features for a while, no matter how “Angel” observed, she couldn’t find any unique “aura” of a strong person on Leon’s face.

This great enemy who caused the bureau director immense psychological trauma and even tried to prevent her from participating in the evaluation looked like just an ordinary young man who was serious, meticulous, gentle, and polite, without any remarkable qualities that would leave a lasting impression.

Moreover, more importantly, it seemed he hadn’t revealed any “talents.”

Glancing at the immaculate heaven behind her with its brilliant six wings hanging down, then looking at the barren wasteland covered in gray haze behind “Death God” where all life had ceased, Abigail couldn’t help but shake her head slightly when she saw nothing behind Leon.

There was nothing “unseen” behind this person; there was truly nothing manifested. He had managed to endure until now in the first round of evaluations purely through sheer willpower…

The one who will win in the end must be me!…

“?”

The “Angel” with six wings on her back didn’t hide her actions, and Leon naturally noticed her observation of him. Instinctively, he glanced at the exam paper on the table in front of her.

Level One – Scorpio Division – Abigail… the daughter of purification who blessed the sheep whip? Although the value of Scorpio Division’s cleaners is 5 Golden Wheels, after recalling what this name represented, Leon’s expression immediately became much friendlier, and he even moved closer to her position.

“Senior Abigail.”

Blocking the flying feathers heading toward his face with his hand, Leon revealed a warm smile and enthusiastically started a conversation:

“I’ve heard some things about you from Senior Algernon during our joint investigation mission. I originally thought I’d visit you in Alleson Kingdom when I have time, but I didn’t expect to meet you directly in the evaluation so soon. What a coincidence.”

“Ah…”

Confused by Leon’s enthusiastic expression, Abigail’s red lips unconsciously opened in surprise but failed to say anything, only managing a hesitant “ah.”

Although her attitude seemed somewhat cold and distant, as if trying to keep people at bay, Leon, who needed help to gather the seven sheep items, naturally wouldn’t care too much about this and simply smiled and continued chatting.

Due to the repeated instructions from the Scorpio Bureau Director before leaving, Abigail currently regarded Leon, whom she had never met, as an opponent and harbored a bit of competitiveness, wanting to defeat him to prove herself.

But as the saying goes, “One doesn’t hit a smiling face.” Facing Leon’s amiable communication, Abigail, who considered herself relatively polite, couldn’t suddenly provoke rudely and could only awkwardly respond with “uh-huh” while feeling somewhat at a loss.

However, as the two of them chatted, the atmosphere in the entire examination room became a bit strange.

The Twin Fish Director sat quietly on the podium with eyes closed, adopting a laissez-faire attitude: do whatever you want; I’ll just announce the results after the evaluation ends. Among the remaining three “candidates,” two of them were oddly chatting away, seemingly getting along quite well…

So… Am I being excluded? After staring at Leon and Abigail for a while through the suffocating gray mist around him, the “Death God” couldn’t help but interject:

“Can you two pay a little attention? This is an advancement evaluation!”

“…”

Hearing the reminder from “Death God,” Leon paused his awkward chat with Abigail and turned around, nodding slightly in apology.

“…”

It’s not… isn’t the issue the volume of your conversation?

Watching the two lower their voices, move slightly away from him, and continue chatting softly, the “Death God,” feeling isolated, couldn’t hold back anymore.

This was the largest-scale advancement evaluation in over a hundred years with the most participants, even hosted by one of the Twelve Directors. Can you two take it a little more seriously? “Twin Fish Sir!”

Calling out to the Twin Fish Director, the “Death God,” who inexplicably received a cold shoulder, couldn’t help but ask:

“How much longer will this first round of the evaluation last?”

“It should be a while longer.”

Glancing at Leon’s position, the Twin Fish Director slowly replied:

“I mentioned earlier that the specific rankings for this round will be determined based on how long you can endure.

The problem is that your situations are a bit special. That kid from Virgo Subdivision seems completely immune to pain, and your talents are almost evenly matched, so it might take quite some time to determine the final first, second, and third places.”

Not a single word of content is available on 69 Book Bar!

“In that case, let’s not decide.”

After hearing the Twin Fish Director’s words, whether it was because he hated being “excluded” or wasn’t interested in the ranking of the advancement evaluation, the “Death God” actually reached out and covered his exam paper.

“I’ll settle for third place. Please send me out!”

“…”

What the heck, why did this guy stop taking the test? Not knowing the problem was with himself, watching the “Death God” abruptly quit the exam, Leon couldn’t help but furrow his brow in surprise and then turned to look at the stiff-faced “Angel,” gently suggesting, “Senior Abigail, since he’s gone, we…”

Hmm? Are you leaving too?

Hearing Leon’s opening line, Abigail’s eyes instantly lit up.

Although Leon intended to make friends, unfortunately, they had nothing in common to talk about, so they were mostly awkwardly chatting, making the conversation experience quite torturous. If it could end early…

“Let’s chat a bit more? I have an anomalous item that used to be a Great Demon, and it’s very interested in your purification abilities. How about…”

“…”

“Next time for sure!”

Looking at Leon, who acted as if nothing was wrong despite being eroded by her talent, Abigail, who had been dragged into this awkward chat for a long time, instantly mastered the art of the ultimate excuse and stood up abruptly, addressing the Twin Fish Director:

“I’ll settle for second place. Please send me out!!!”
