Chapter 1749 “I Hope I Kill Them With My Success, Not My Hands”

Eren possessed keen insight into how people thought in tense situations.

He particularly understood the concept of group mentality.

He knew that he would get targeted the moment other candidates realized he had been admitted into the test because of his preselection, thanks to the recommendation token given to him by Archpriest Jivem.

To the candidates who had proved their mettle by passing the initial rounds, Eren and others like him were nothing but outsiders. And outsiders would always get bullied by people who were in a particular situation or place for far longer than the newcomers.

Eren had experienced something similar in his academy days in LA. he had learned his lessons after experiencing life's realities personally. He didn't want to isolate himself and make the same mistake of becoming the target of all the bullies. Thus, he decided to become one with the bullies themselves by approaching them straightaway.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

While Eren was confident in his ability to handle challenges, he acknowledged the diverse skill sets of Labh Salem's inhabitants. Despite sensing his inherent superiority, he understood the importance of avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

To mitigate potential hostility, he aligned himself with promising individuals like Horen and Vasco, recognizing the benefits of joining forces with those who showed promise.

Eren sneaked up behind the dup to make them understand how capable he was as a Ranker. He knew that the duo would never agree to work with a weak candidate who would lower the chances of their win. This was a subtle show of force that he knew would work on them.

Vasco and Horen were a bit doubtful about Eren's guesswork. However, it didn't stop them from forming a temporary alliance with him. After all, they both preferred to increase the chances of their survival in the test and eventual selection in the Corps.

Vasco, Horen, and Eren started chatting among themselves as they waited by the giant doors. The two briefly told Eren about other promising individuals whom they had identified from the initial rounds.

The candidates could also wait for the week's duration to end if for some reason they were unable to quit the test. They might not get selected but such an approach could end up saving their life.

They were given a week to clear the test. However, there was an upper limit to the number of candidates the panel would enroll in the Corps. About 50 percent of the candidates were supposed to get weeded out from the sea of candidates present for the final round.

Of course, the candidates could clear the test anytime during the week. They would be teleported outside the testing grounds automatically when that happened. Or they could choose to keep on helping their teammates by interfering with the automatic teleportation function on the glass slab manually.

The anticipation was high as the commencement of the bonafide Demon Slayers' first batch loomed, expected to emerge within three to four days of the test initiation. These elite Demon Slayers, however, wouldn't gain any additional advantages over those who passed the test on the final day. It meant that all the successful candidates would share the same starting point in the Corps.

'That... is she an +S?... No... not quite. But she is close... even closer than King's Hand Garos Renar,' The butcher was stunned as he made a shocking assessment.

The panel of judges, all S-Rank entities led by a pseudo-Saint, took turns explaining the rules. It was Eren's first encounter with a pseudo-Saint, and her imposing presence was undeniable, effortlessly emanating an intimidating aura.

To Eren's surprise, the Dimensional Gate served not only as the entrance to the Kaaysaayan's Demon Slayer Corps headquarters but also linked the City of Demondeath to several isolated dimensions maintained by the empire for various purposes.

The judges activated the runic details adorning the Dimensional Gate, swinging open the colossal doors to reveal an endless void awaiting the candidates.

"I hope I kill them with my success, not my hands," Eren muttered to himself, stepping into the void passageway alongside his two companions.
