Chapter 114: Interrogation.

[14th Everdusk 2103], CGA Branch, Dyna Crest country.

In a room, there was one table and three chairs, the rest of the room was empty. The walls were thick soundproof, with many runes placed around them, seemingly to prevent anything from escaping the room.

Lilia sat in one of the chairs, Darian was in the second chair beside her, and I, Evan, was sitting in front of them.

"So, Evan I see that you're already Level 20, which is impressive for a kid who is a D-rank hunter. You even took the solo hunting test and got victorious without any support. It's hard to believe that a child without financial support from parents could defeat a boss several levels higher," Lilia explained as reviewed the papers containing my details.

"There is also suspicion that you hold more than one class," she added, which made me feel uneasy, though I tried not to show it as they can't even see it as my face was covered with my mask.

"Well, now that I remember, I know this boy from one of the schools I attended recently. Are you the kid who first awakened a Magic Swordsman class then a Necromancer class?" Darian asked, and I nodded, unable to lie.

"Yes sir, I am the one you speak of. However, I need to clarify that I was about to awaken the Magic Swordsman class but to some issues I ended up awakening the necromancer class. I am still saddened by this," I said, and Darian nodded without further comment.

"Okay, we will verify this later, but first, tell me what happened inside dungeon that collapse," Lilia directly.

"Yes ma'am, I was about to. I believe I now understand the reason behind the dungeon accident," I said, partially truthful, as revealing the entire truth might force me to join the CG by agreement.

"So, what happened was....." I start telling them about my raid as I tell them, when I meet the boss, who was inside the mountain cave.

And molded the story as a Necromancer type build hunter who uses summon as fighter. I told them that when I encounter the boss, who after seeing my summoned skeletons got into a raged mode right from the start and his level escalated from Lv.27 to Lv.29 as I happen to have battle with a monster higher than fifteen level then to me.

They were giving quite shocking expression like never seen before stuff. I told them that boss even summoned a horse skeleton who helped him and my courageous way of commanding my skeletons in such way that I first defeated the horse and then using my skeletons as obstacles did I use my magic spell skills to buzz off all the HP of the boss and finally defeated him.

After which I got a skill and the two set items of the boss and I put both armor and weapon onto the table as both check the screen of them and was shocked to find the Tier 1 degraded item into Tier 0 boss weapons.

"So, is there anything else, or have you told us everything?" Darian asked as I replied.

"Yes, sir, there is one more thing. When the boss was defeated and about to die, he told me that he had mistaken me for an enemy and even apologized. He then upgraded my skill from a normal one to a unique one that can grow by my side as a comrade. If you wanted to buy it, I'm sorry, but it has become non-tradable, so I had to use it right." I said as I used my skills and summoned my comrade right there.

As I used my skill to summon the horse, a huge shadow began hovering beside us. A thin string connected to my shadow, from which a horse-like bone figure started to form and rising from the ground. At first, it looked like a normal undead horse until the shadow below it to creep over it, covering like a hide, the horse then acquired dark black skin, along with a saddle and a leash to it.

"Okay, so that's a growth-type summon, huh? good gain you got. But the small downfall is that stats are connected you, and I don't think you will be able to enhance this horse's power further... aaooh." Darian was telling me when Lilia nudged him with her hand.

"Okay, Evan, it's good that you the skill, but can why the dungeon collapse after arrival?" Lilia asked as I prepared for this.

"Ma'am, I think that maybe the condition for the dungeon to completely disappear has been met. A notification appeared on my screen indicating that I had completed a hidden condition by defeating the boss in his rage mode, and the reward was an upgrade to my summon undead horse skill," I said, as what I stated wasn't a blunt lie but close to the truth.

"And sir, can you tell me the class of the person who was caught up in the accident back then?" I asked, as I might have a solution for this as well.

"Umm... yes, the person who was caught up in the accident was a Curse Doll Mancer who controls monsters by turning them into dolls with his skill," Darian said as he flipped through some pages answered.

"Oh! So that's why how huh, the boss was angry towards the death-type class holder who uses undead summons to attack," Lilia said. I nodded, and thus the mystery was solved.

"Okay, but still to verify all of this, we have to use an item. After that, you will get your Sole Wolf mark for solo hunting," he said. I nodded, and Darian brought out an orb from his inventory and it in front of us, instantly realizing what it was.

The Lie-Detector orb helps to determine if a person is lying or not.

"So, put your hand on the orb and answer a few questions," Lilia said. I nodded and placed my hands on the orb, feeling the mana inside me harmonizing with the orb's mana.

It uses fluctuations as a source to detect lies.

"So, tell us, are you human?" Darian asked, as both Lilia and I had expressions worth seeing. (=_=)

"Sorry, just checking," Darian said as Lilia sighed and asked me,

"Okay, so tell me, Evan, was everything you told us true or false?" she asked. I nodded and replied,

"Yes, everything I told you was true, and there was no lie in it."

'Still, some things are not something I can tell you.'

"Okay, so tell me, did you really get the skill upgrade after defeating the boss?"

"Yes, I got the upgrade from the boss."

'Straight from his soul form.'

"Okay, is there any part of your plan that involved collapsing the dungeon, and are you from guild."

"No ma'am, I didn't even know that the dungeon would collapse until we faced it ourselves, and I am not a member of another guild."

"Okay, so I have asked everything, and I think that you're not guilty in this case."

"Wait, Manager, I wish to ask this kid a question."

Lilia nodded as Darian looked at me with suspicious eyes.

"Okay kid, this will my final question. Do you have another class as a Magic Swordsman?"

The room was, as no one expected his question; Lilia and I were just thinking about the dungeon collapse accident.

"Umm~~! no sir, I said it before, and now I am saying it again that I don't have any class named Magic Swordsman. If I had, I would have already been caught, as I don't think I can get away from Miss Lilia's appraisal."

"Yes, it's correct, as even the orb of truth confirms it. Darian, I told you that this kid doesn't even have a second class, so why are you so eager to try to get him into the Association?"

"But ma'am, I mean that..."

"No, nothing more to ask. Go and finish the remaining tasks, after which we both have to attend the meeting. Aren't you forgetting it?" Lilia said as Darian looked at me with suspicious eyes but still had to leave.

"Okay, Evan, go now and meet the guy at the main desk of the building to your ID upgraded as I have already informed them. Be attentive in the dungeons, as there is saying, 'if the glance shifts, disaster will follow.'" She said as I nodded and walked out of the room towards the main desk of the branch on the ground.

"Hush, maybe I was wrong back then. This kid six... No, it can't be, as even those who two classes are rare enough to be counted on one hand. Having six classes and many talents that aren't even visible with my unique appraisal eyes must be a facade a glitch, as this guy's status is different now. As to hold such artefact to block my skill use is not available in this city and this kid doesn't have such background to hold this kind of treasure." She said to herself as she remembered the status she saw back then and a few minutes ago.

Consider it as a dream or perhaps a daydream, as such experiences are often. She then walked away to her office, where Darian was waiting for her. Little did she know that what she witnessed was real and could potentially change her life if she used it wisely.

Even Evan was unaware that Lilia had seen his status by pure chance.

Is there going to be a connection between them, or is it a mere facade created by the author, me? Reflect on it and share your thoughts or imagination regarding it.
