“Do you… really agree?” Su Ya suspiciously pulled away from Lin Bai.

Lin Bai scratched his head and said with a smile, “I’m not the only one with secrets. You’re also very problematic to be able to follow me here! The prerequisite for being partners is to trust each other!”

Only after confirming that Lin Bai had set aside his killing intent did Su Ya let out a long breath.

“You’ll be the captain and I’ll be your support!” Su Ya regained her cold and arrogant tone.

“There’s no rush. Um… What’s the registration process?” Lin Bai asked embarrassedly.

It was impossible for him to register with Cage. Thus, he had to find another way.

“We need to fill in the application form from the professors or the Adventurer’s Guild Office and insert it into the application box.” As expected of someone from an assassin family, Su Ya was familiar with this process.

“How much does it cost?” According to Lin Bai’s experience, all kinds of public exam papers had a fee, let alone such an important application form.

“One Gold Coin!” Su Ya expressionlessly looked at Lin Bai’s outstretched hand. She furrowed her eyebrows until there was a small bump on her skin.

“We’re partners after all. We have to help each other!” Lin Bai took out the few Copper Coins he had in his pocket and weighed them in his hand.

Pa!

With an ugly expression, Su Ya took out a Gold Coin and slapped it into Lin Bai’s hand. Then, she turned and left.

“Eh? That… I can provide you with a little special service. Just… just pretend that I didn’t say anything!” Before she could finish speaking, Su Ya’s figure had already disappeared into the forest.

Lin Bai’s gaze instantly turned cold as he stared at the Gold Coin in his hand. Partner?

Hmph!

Lin Bai’s instincts told him that this woman was definitely not that simple!

But who cared about her? He had to pass the Hunter Elementary Test first!

Thus, Lin Bai walked towards his home in a great mood.

The next morning, under Su Ya’s lead, Lin Bai arrived at the office set up by the Adventurer’s Guild in Sorcha College.

Two beauties in lacy dresses received Lin Bai and Su Ya extremely warmly.

“Sir, may I know your Class?” A young beauty asked him with a smile.

“Um… Reader!” Lin Bai scratched his head.

“A… Reader? Are you sure you want to participate in the Elementary Test?” The little beauty instinctively glanced at Su Ya.

A person with a weak Class that she had never heard of was actually here to apply for the Elementary Test?

The problem must be with this big-busted sister!

“Sir, you only have one life. Actually, you’re not bad looking either. I guarantee that you can get a wife!” The little beauty persuaded him earnestly.

“Ahem!” Lin Bai coughed violently and smacked his lips. “I love my life more than you do. Don’t worry, just help me fill out the form. After all, I’ve already spent the money, so it’s a little inappropriate to leave like this!”

The little beauty filled in the forms for Lin Bai and Su Ya with a strange expression. Then, she warned Lin Bai, “Sir, you really have to think this through. Once you put the form into the registration box, you won’t be able to take it out!”

“Alright. Thank you for your concern. You’re so beautiful!” Lin Bai received the application form with a smile. The pretty girl blushed from Lin Bai’s praise.

The class bell had rung for five minutes before Lin Bai and Su Ya walked into the classroom one after another.

“Damn, what’s going on? The goddess is following Lin Bai…”

“F*ck, could it be true? I don’t want to live anymore!”

“It’s a coincidence. It must be a coincidence!”

A commotion immediately sounded in the classroom.

“Quiet!” Cage knocked hard on the blackboard. The students discussed for a long while before falling silent again. However, countless cold eyes were still fixed on Lin Bai.

“Since everyone is here, let me announce the requirements for this year’s Elementary Test!”

Cage cleared his throat forcefully. Although most people in the class were not qualified to participate, it was his duty to announce the rules of the test.

“This year’s requirements are very simple. Find and arrive at the testing location, the Gloomy Forest!”

As soon as Cage finished speaking, despairing sighs immediately erupted in the classroom.

“Professor, will our college hire Hunters to escort us?” A boy sitting in front of Lin Bai stood up and asked.

“We don’t have the money for that!” Cage replied to him simply.

When the boy heard this, he said with a look of despair, “Professor, we don’t even know where the Gloomy Forest is. Furthermore we have to pass through so many dangerous mystic realms. It doesn’t make sense that the college doesn’t hire Hunters to escort us!”

“That’s right. If there’s no one to escort me, I’ll drop out of school! Since I can’t participate in the test, I can save some money to buy food for my family!”

“Professor, I don’t have a chance in this lifetime. I’ll fill in the withdrawal application form now. Please be magnanimous and approve of it!”

Glancing at his students, Cage sighed helplessly and cheered them on. “Don’t be discouraged. There has never been a first-year student who participated in the test. As long as you complete the test before graduation, you have a chance to become a Hunter!”

“There are still two to three years. Everyone, work hard. I believe that you all are not inferior to others!”

However, even Cage said this without confidence.

“Professor!” At this moment, Lin Bai also stood up and took out a form.

“Lin Bai, if you want to drop out, the school can consider it seriously!” Cage smiled like a father.

“Um… I would like to request to participate in this year’s Elementary Test with Su Ya!” Lin Bai raised the form in his hand and said sternly.

“What?! You’re participating in this year’s Elementary Test?” Cage’s gaze instantly landed on Su Ya. “Su Ya, did Lin Bai say something to you? This year’s Elementary Test has the highest risk factor in years!”

“You’re different from Lin Bai. You still have a great life! You’re our academy’s…”

“Professor, please respect our decision!” Su Ya said coldly.

“You…” Seeing that Su Ya had turned her head away, Cage opened his mouth but eventually swallowed his words.

“Lin Bai! I know that the Class Awakening yesterday was a huge blow to you, but you can’t give up on yourself! Also, you’ll implicate the other students. This… This is inhumane!” Cage said with a frown.

“That’s right, Su Ya. You must not allow yourself to be deceived by that brat’s honest appearance. He definitely has ill intentions!”

“That’s right. He’s a Reader, so why does he have to team up with you? Isn’t he clearly trying to take advantage of you?”

“You can’t team up with him. At the very least, I’m still a Repairman!”

The earth-shattering pressure of public opinion attacked the classroom once again. Lin Bai sighed and walked towards the registration box.

“Lin Bai! What are you doing? If you put the form in, you won’t be able to take it out!”

Cage hurriedly took a step forward and wanted to stop Lin Bai, but Lin Bai cleverly brushed past him and threw the form into the registration box.

“Lin Bai, do you know what you’re doing? I’m thinking about your safety!” Cage was so anxious that cold sweat appeared on his forehead..
