Chapter 176: The Shadowed Hero

Next.

I was next in line.

Elderkin examined me.

.

He moved his lips but stopped.

The elderkin's short eyebrows frowned.

After a while,.

Great.

A grumpy voice came out.

The young man's hand holding a pen stopped.

What's going on?

This is also worth checking out.

Well, let's take a look. Level 20 and

The young man's eyes widened.

This is it!

Elderkin said.

What is your name?

Khan Israt.

What is your affiliation?

Isn't it listed in the ledger?

Sorry. Please give me the ledger.

The elderkin received the ledger from his subordinate and scanned its contents.

Birth grade is 1 star. Belongs to Tonya. Are you serious?

I nodded.

The lieutenant's face turned pale.

Such monsters have one star at birth.

Monster, he said.

Is this what you say when you see someone?

I clicked my tongue.

You stay here. Please step aside.

Aaron looked at me.

The elderkin handed his ledger back to his lieutenant and said:

There's something else I need to tell the new recruits. Sorry, please stay here.

Okay.

I moved aside.

I happened to find a metal chair, so I sat down.

Since I was near the end of the line, the exam ended quickly.

The warrior cadets followed their adjutant's instructions and exited through the back door of the auditorium.

Except for me.

Elderkin and I were the only ones left in the auditorium.

Elderkin looked at me, sitting in the chair, and laughed.

You seem to be feeling good already.

Why did you leave me?

Your information has been shared with your manager. The Supreme Commander will be arriving soon.

I wasn't really surprised.

Niflheimr has communication options. You should be able to see it from far away. Elderkin said, staring at me from his hovering position.

Khan Israt, from Tawnia. Is that correct?

The information has been confirmed.

There was no need to reply.

The Supreme Commander will be arriving shortly. I say my goodbyes.

The elderkin quickly left the auditorium.

I am now alone.

It feels so weird.

The institutions and heroes I have touched and controlled are real and alive.

I remember. This Elderkin Brach was a 1-star hero who panicked and did nothing in the first battle. Videos from that time are also preserved. It would be really interesting to play it again. The man who led many trainers was trembling at first.

.

I put my hand on the hilt of my sword.

It comes in open.

I felt a strong presence at the entrance to the auditorium.

Finally, a woman wearing a uniform appeared at the entrance. She came towards me, covering dozens of meters in one step. It was Ekret, the training center director.

"I have received your report. Is it Han Israt?"

Eclair looked me up and down with her blue eyes.

A faint hint of doubt crossed her eyes.

It's quite remarkable.

Is there a special reason for you to visit me?

I talked.

You never came to me with a recruitment offer.

I said this as I placed my hand on the hilt of my sword.

Ekure's lips curled.

That's right. I didn't come here to solicit you.

I think it's to interrogate me.

The elderkin's lips twitched strangely when I revealed his affiliation.

Next, the Elderkin summoned his commander. No matter how promising I am, I will never poach a top talent just to bring in a new employee.

You know it very well.

In an instant, Ekret's hand disappeared.

I instinctively pulled out my sword, but his blade flew fast.

A drop of blood flowed from his throat.

Not as much as I expected.

I sheathed my sword.

The difference in specs is too large.

You're great, but you still need time. You can't beat me.

Okay.

Let's get down to business.

She said this as she held the Eclet blade to my throat.

Please feel free to talk. Where did you learn this information?

What kind of information?

Are you asking because you don't know?

Life sparkled in Ekle's eyes.

How did you know that Lord Loki was missing?

Exactly, my master knows. If you want to return home alive, please be sure to tell us your sources and anything else you know.

Is that so?

However, the information you need to include in the configuration comment is that Loki is not in Niflheimr. It may not make sense to people who don't know the details, but things are different for heroes who are connected.

Even if the lower-ranking heroes don't know, the senior executives should know about my disappearance.

I'm surprised that the training camp director knew about the content of the recruitment comment.

I raised my head.

Stuffy ceiling. But this man's eyes are all over Nibelheim.

I lowered my gaze. Ekle looked at me.

Who are you?

The blade bit into it slightly.

I tried to say something, but instead I sighed.

It's boring.

Make an excuse.

Deceiving others with nonsense that is not true.

I'm tired of playing games every day.

Do you want to know who I am?

You

Come out, Yurunette.

Fog swirled from one side of the auditorium, and a white shadow appeared.

The mist gathered in the shape of a person.

Ekle opened his eyes.

?!

A simple white coat with no decorations. Her wavy, white hair reached her waist.

Niflheimr's second-in-command.

Jurne Seed kneeled down on one knee before me.

Greetings to the master.

I should have known, but I came out too late.

Please forgive me. We are prepared to welcome you.

I pressed the blade against my throat with my fingertips.

Then I said,.

I'm Loki.
