When Chen Jiahwa walked into the room, he sighed silently. This was the second time he was going to be judged after the battle at the Pyramid of Nastassen.
The previous review was a regular review after the end of the mission, but this time, it should be mainly about the crows.
The judging room was located inside the base of the Spell Department. It was currently used by the headquarters. The judging room was small and simple. The 3 judges were already seated behind the judging table. There were many stacks of documents on the table. They looked at him calmly as he walked in.
Chen Jiahwa did not know who was in the room behind the one-way mirror or behind the camera. He did not know who would be the judge for this round.
On the way back, Captain Lou had told him to be mentally prepared for round after round of judging.
It was not going to be easy, even someone like Captain Gu would be exhausted.
Chen Jiahwa sat down on the chair. The crow mark on his right wrist appeared to heat up, or perhaps it was his imagination.
"Good day, Comrade Chen Jiahwa." The male reviewers behind the table said, "I am the main reviewers for this round, Cao Hengsen."
The 3 reviewers, 2 men and 1 woman, Cao Hengsen, Ma He and Cui Yiting, were all middle-aged. They were the backbone of the judging department and their eyes seemed to be able to see through one's heart.
This was a normal judging team but it only looked normal. There was an Ancient Seal Stone inside the judging room so there had to be an Ancient Seal Team waiting in the dark room to prevent any accidents. The people from the Special Ops should be there as well, doing their job of supervising the event.
"Good day." Chen Jiahwa greeted them.
"Today, we're here to talk to you about the mark on your right hand." Cao Hengsen said. As expected.
"No problem." Chen Jiahwa nodded but he was also curious about this. Moreover, it had only been a week since the duel, and the various soul-stirring events of that day were still lingering in his heart. From time to time, he would have an inexplicable mood, and he was not sure if he could explain it clearly.
However, after experiencing those difficult and scary moments, he had calmed down. He was not as reckless as he used to be.
At the request of the three judges, Chen Jiahwa raised his right wrist and displayed the raven mark on it. The sharp lines, the pitch-black color, and the vague connection that even he himself could not describe …
"When did this mark appear on your hand?"
"It was when we were exploring the Nastassen Pyramid's underground tomb." Chen Jiahua told the truth about what had happened. He had already said it when he was first judged, and this time, he was even more detailed. "It was like that. It suddenly appeared, and I also gained a new power."
"Have you ever come into contact with this mark before? Or something that you feel is connected to it? "
"No, no contact …" Chen Jiahwa had thought about this question many times. "It just suddenly appeared."
"Do you think this mark has anything to do with Gu Jun?"
By now, Chen Jiahwa knew that Crow was Gu Jun's incarnation but he had no idea why … He knew about the murder at the Special Ops base. That was not Captain Gu's style of doing things. He believed he was missing part of the information and it might be the cause of Captain Gu's death …
Thinking of this, the raven mark on Chen Jiahua's right hand seemed to be reacting.
The gazes of the three judges were fixed on him the whole time. They must have noticed his uneasiness.
"I believe it is related." Chen Jiahwa said, "Captain Gu's story has always been an inspiration to me. At the time, I was reminded of his bravery and I had to persevere."
"Do you think the power provided by this mark is more like spell power or Ancient Seal power?" Cao Hengsen asked.
Not only the higher-ups or the Special Ops, this was a question everyone wanted to answer. The Spell Department was no exception.
What was the nature of the raven mark? Would Phecda members be able to gain power through this mark in the future? What kind of influence would that have?
Only by clarifying these questions, Phecda would know what kind of relationship he should have with the crows.
"I'm not too sure myself." Chen Jiahwa sighed and shook his head. "Its power did not corrupt my mind. You used the ancient seal stone to test me but I did not need to undergo mental cleansing. My rationality is fine so I don't think this is dark energy. After all, this is Captain Gu … But …" He hesitated, "How should I put it, it's just that it is more serene …"
"What do you mean by 'serene'? Do you mind explaining it to us?"
Cao Hengsen asked again. Ma He and Cui Yiting perked up, they were very concerned about this question.
"Serene is …" Chen Jiahwa really could not explain it but he understood the importance of this question so he tried to explain seriously, "It's a kind of feeling. I don't know if that's the right way to put it. It's not like sunlight, it's active in the dark but that doesn't mean it's dark energy. There is light in the dark too, it's just more serene …"
The 3 judges jotted down the information. Their calm faces betrayed no thoughts.
"From the sound of it, you don't know much about the raven mark?"
"Yes." Chen Jiahwa nodded. "That's what I've been saying, I might know even less than you."
Cao Hengsen flipped through a document in his hand, looking at it for a while before asking: "If you were to make a guess, what do you think caused you and the crow's power to form such a connection? Based on the information we have so far, we believe that this force is most likely related to Gu Jun. However, there are many more people who are closer to Gu Jun. They have more combat power and experience. Why is it you? "
'Guess? ' Chen Jiahwa was silent but he still wanted to answer that he did not know.
He really wanted to know the answer. Why himself? What did the raven see?
"I think it's because … I was in a critical situation at the time and needed that kind of help …"
"Based on what we know, the situation at the time was very critical and needed help everywhere. Do you think there are other factors? "
Chen Jiahwa thought about it and a few other possibilities came to mind. "Perhaps I'm also a medical student? Furthermore, I've always used Captain Gu as my role model. My entrance exam into Phecda University and Phecda were all influenced by Captain Gu. Is that so … "
The 3 judges probably realized they could not get any more information from Chen Jiahwa so they dropped the question.
"Do you think you can summon the raven?" Cao Hengsen asked again, "After that day, have you felt anything like that?"
