Chapter 21: Signing Up For The Ruins 2

Khan arrived before the 3-metre tall door, as he looked up at its top.

Mission Verification Hall

"HUUUUUUU..." He exhaled before gathering his wits as he raised his hands before knocking thrice.

KNOCK

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Come in..."

Entering his eyes was a gigantic room completely covered in white paintings.

There were three other white-colored doors in the place, tightly shut, and at the middle of the room, was a table with hundreds of piles of different books piled on it and a muscular dark-haired man sitting behind the large table, with a spectacle on his eyes.

"And you're..." The deep masculine voice of the man rang in his ears as Khan directed his attention towards him.

"I'm Khan. Khan Humana..." Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

"Khan Humana? Hmmm..." The Man raised the device present on the table as he tapped quickly on it before his hand skidded to a stop and he raised his head, giving him a scrutinizing gaze.

"I commend you for being able to enter Atherston's eyes. It seems you're a fine young man..." The man said as Khan's eyebrows furrowed a little.

'Tch, those idiots also put that in my file?' Khan hissed. Being a Hollow Soldier, one of the things he hated most was getting widely known.

For someone with a line of jobs like his, popularity was a quick way to die faster. It was always better to be an unremarkable average person.

Yet more than that, he also took note of the way the man addressed the base head, calling his name directly. This is either disrespectful or means he was close to him.

"It's nothing, sir. The Base Head was a benevolent man and he took mercy on me. That's all..."

"According to my report, you have been recruited less than three hours and you want to immediately go for a mission?"

"It is easy to appear weak when you're strong and strong where you're weak. But the true difficulty lies in identifying the moment..."

Audrey's eyes flashed in shock at the young man's boldness and also the strange change in his aura but it only amused him even more.

Slowly he took off his glass as he stood up from his seat, towering above Khan by a head.

"Before you even enter the door kid, I can already tell you're an ordinary mortal. Are you telling me I'm wrong?" Audrey said, his voice rumbling with the entire room creating an illusion of the floor shaking.

"Why don't we find out?" Khan said, not at all intimidated, instead looking dead straight at him, unfazed.

A minute stare down occurred between both men but a smile soon broke on Audrey's face, widening to his ears.

"You passed the first test. At least you won't be the one to go numb when you see an undead. Now let's we what you're really capable of..." Audrey said as he slowly walked towards one of the doors in the room, signaling for Khan to follow behind him.

Khan followed behind the man as they arrived inside the room and he couldn't but raise an eyebrow on looking at what it truly was.

"A training room?"

"Show me what you got kid!"

Audrey said as a holographic appeared in front of him and he inputted into it.

Slowly from the ground, a humanoid robot the same height as him emerged.

"I can sense no Mana from you, So I'll go easy with it so you don't accidentally fall dead before I can save your ass. This robot is comparable to a third-rank stage awakener. At least I should be able to save you before it could..."

Suddenly Audrey grew quiet as he watched Khan begin walking forward as he arrived less than a meter before the robot.

Slowly he took off the tie on his neck and wrapped it around his right hand before getting into a fighting position, both fists raised to his face as veins appeared on his arms, wriggling within like snakes.

"Can we begin?"
