Chapter 372: Fragments From The Past, Wake The F*ck Up!

....

Clap, Clap.

"Now, now everyone," Min Jin announced as he clapped his hands. "Every single one of you is an official Knight Apprtice of the Omega Dome, and as such, I hope you all strive to bring the Omega Dome to greater heights!"

Hearing this announcemt put the newly appointed Knight Apprtices in a slightly fired-up state. All of them had come from the boonies, and as such, they never had a purpose as noble as this one. In all fairness, their pumped-up attitudes were well-warranted.

Of course, that was the case for everyone except one...

As nonchalant as always, Azmodeus had his hands behind his head and his gaze focused anywhere but where the commotion was situated.

'That kid is... sigh...' The Examiner thought in exasperation. "Anyway," he said as he pointed his hand toward the exit for the building. "I will now show you all to the Knight Apprtice Dorms, which is where you will receive free Basic Room and Board. Anything more than that will depd on your own capabilities."

Beckoning the young adults with his hands, the Examiner's words seemed to foretell some unforese evts in store for them.

None besides Azmodeus noticed the underlying meaning hidd within Min Jin's tone.

'There are definitely going to be some hardships ahead, but like usual, I will deal with everything by myself,' Azmodeus thought as he narrowed his eyes at the overly fridly expression on the Examiner's face.

He knew better than to buy into all the flowery words and promises of paradise.

Just like his previous vironmts, he would treat this place as if life and death were a every corner.

There was no telling what sort of organization he just joined...

She turned toward the dorm door and oped it up. She th took her first step into a future that she couldn't wait to experice. "I don't know about you bunch, but I plan to make it big here!" She exclaimed.

"..."

Looking at the valiant back of the black-haired girl and that side view of her dazzling smile reminded Azmodeus of someone he tried his best to forget.

'They say that time is what allows the scars to show,' he thought with a sigh. 'Over and over again, time proves itself to be right...'

Following behind the group of giddy childr, Azmodeus, the gloomy red-haired young man, seemed to flow in and out of reality. Like an invisible kite, he tered the dorm and quietly left the group, making his way up multiple flights of stairs and evtually to his room.

After seeing that the room number matched the one on the folded-up piece of paper that the Examiner had slipped into his pocket before he disappeared, Azmodeus neared the door and listlessly stood there for a second.

'Deja vu,' he thought.

Entering the room, Azmodeus observed the simple interior for a few momts, th he found himself sleeping on the full-sized cotton bed in the left-side cter part of the room.

Time passed like a river stream, and a lonesome, brok man was allowed to spd some time in the land of dreams for the first time in what felt like forever...

9 hours flew by in a flash.

It was now morning, and it was time for everyone to wake the f*ck up!!

"Cacadooddledooo!!!"
