Uplift 2/2

Charles thought for a moment, then replied.

"…This possibility analysis is not half bad. All of your information since we talked impressively matches with ours. If considered only the news and documents, for ordinary people who have very limited access to the media, you have my respect for being able to come this far."

*Click*

The interviewer put down the coffee cup before he continued.

"But it's a little too quick to conclude that it doesn't take the motives or interests into account. Of those, none of them has yet to appear from where we are constantly guarding and observing the Ly Company."

Ravyn realized how amateur she was and then thanked Mr. C for his criticism.

"There's one more thing I want to ask, Miss Ravyn. But you don't have to answer me if you don't want to… That time when you are about to be a famous artist, why would you give up such a great opportunity?"

…Scarily know the in-depth details of the applicants, I'd expect nothing less from this organization…

Ravyn wasn't too happy with the question but was impressed with the unfathomable potential that this place displayed.

"At that time, I wasn't being professional enough to get on the stage. So I paid for that lesson and learned it deeply in my heart. But what I thought was important was not me, who made mistakes, but who I am now that has chosen to step over those mistakes without falling into them again. And I am confident in showing my readiness from now on."

"It's a good spirit you have there. But that chance will only be given to the most suitable…"

Charles stopped his hand that writing in the notebook since the beginning of the interview.

"All done… Thank you for your good cooperation. We will contact you again later."

The purple-haired girl could guess the outcome of this selection from that response. She had some regrets, but her face was still far from being lost. Ravyn bowed to the interviewer in front of her before leaving.

... Abilities and determination are exceptional. As expected from the one scouted by that boy. But the fury that radiated from her after the first "Donkey" came out of her mouth was so intense that it was dangerous… If there's a time that this anger can't be pressed and affects the analysis or decision, she will create a huge problem for us…

The goatee Charles silently evaluated the latest entrant, staring at her back that was slowly moving away until she stopped. Ravyn sighed again before walking back into the same elevator that she had entered.

"Woaahh!"

Soon after the door closed, a scream echoed through the room, causing the goatee man to smile affectionately.

Charles sat contemplating the interviewed applicants and the information others had sent in the same room until the evening.

*Knock**Knock*

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

An employee who appeared to be from the same department opened the door with an envelope in her arm.

"Sorry for bothering you. Mr. C…" she said in a friendly tone.

"It's okay, I'm just finishing up here and there."

"This is an urgent document summarizing the reports of Ly Company that relate to Donkey"

The employee handed over an envelope of documents.

"Hmm... so they are not only just related, but also need to depend on each other too… They are hiding right under our nose all this time."

Charles thanked her before he chuckled lightly.

"Huhu… This is really getting interesting."

The middle-aged man got up and walked out. On his desk were piles of applications from experts around the world with X-marked on their corners. There were only two intact sheets stacked under a paperweight engraved with the words 'Approve'.
