The next day, Ito Reina returned to normal, at least on the surface, nothing was wrong. The family of four stayed at home until noon, then they took Eriko's car and rushed to the Shrine. After all, there are still some things to prepare.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the Ito Family Shrine. After parking the car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, the four of them went to the Shrine together. Then, under the command of Don Ito, they cleaned the entire Shrine. They must let the visitors see the bright side of the Shrine. This is not only to leave a good impression on the visitors, but also to show the prosperity of the Ito Family.
The four of them are not ordinary people, so they cleaned the Shrine very quickly. Before dinner, the entire Shrine was cleaned up.
After dinner, the old man talked about the audit again, mainly about the preparation of the inspectors, such as carrying objects or secret methods that can suppress their own energy fluctuations. After all, in addition to the registration of the newcomers, the annual audit is actually an investigation of these idle forces that are not under the control of the government. After all, the more they know about these idle people, the better.
Of course, Sei Itō also learned a secret method of the Ito Family at this time. After using it with the intention of trying it out, he found that it also has a hidden effect on new energy. Although the effect is not good, it is really good. Moreover, he has other means to hide his strength, he believes that nothing will happen when the time comes.
Such a peaceful day passed, the inspectors still didn't come the next day, but the Ito Family didn't care. It doesn't matter whether it's a day earlier or a day later, it's something that can't be avoided. After eating and sleeping in peace, the inspectors came late in a black business car the next day.
As the head of the Ito Family and the Shrine, the old man Ito Kikujiro brought the family to the mountainside and welcomed them into the Shrine.
There are a total of five inspectors, four of them are wearing black suits, and one is wearing a priest's uniform. The priest is probably the inspector sent by the Ise Grand Shrine, and he got along well with the old man. Needless to say, the remaining four were from the Ministry of Environment. Two of the people in suits seemed to be ordinary clerks. They quickly took out instruments from a box beside them and assembled them.
As for the other two men in black suits, one of them didn't look like someone to be trifled with. His entire body was covered with a murderous aura. If it wasn't because his cultivation method was ferocious, then this person must have experienced a great battle. The last one had a pale complexion and a smile on his face, but his expression was arrogant. Only when he looked at Sei Itō and Li Nai did he show a little lust. He looked like a perfect gentleman.
The two clerical staff members worked quickly and assembled the machine in a moment. Then, they informed the leader, who was also the person with the murderous aura, to preside over the inspection.
According to the usual practice, the registered personnel first came forward to take the test.
Old man Ito and the priest bowed and came to the front of the machine. One of the clerks held a probing rod and walked to the old man's side. The other clerks quickly pressed a button on the machine, and then a "beep" sound was heard. The probing rod immediately lit up with a light. The light was divided into ten sections, and finally stopped at the sixth section.
"Not bad, the old man has become stronger again." The man with the murderous aura looked at the information in his hand and said in a praising tone. However, he did have the right to use such a tone. After all, he represented the Ministry of Environment and was a superior.
"No, I'm old." Don Ito sighed and shook his head. He retreated to the side and continued chatting with the High Priest, but their eyes were still focused on the test.
After the old man, it was his mother, Eriko. Eriko calmly walked to the machine. After a moment, the result was four and a half sections. Then Suzu Ito, three and a half sections, almost four sections. Finally, it was Li Nai Itō, two and a half sections. One had to know that concealing one's strength was also a problem. If one hid too much, it would be obvious that the family's overall strength was weak. If one hid too little, it would be obvious that the family's strength was too strong. This was a problem that could affect the attitude of others towards the family. Of course, it was also possible to make a person hide less. It was also a good method to make it seem like the rest of the family was weak, and only one person was strong.
Fortunately, during this period, the guy who was always smiling didn't come out to cause trouble, so the test went smoothly. At this time, it was finally Sei Itō's turn to take the test.
Sei Itō walked to the machine. After a moment, with a "beep" sound, the result appeared. One section. This was the result of using the Itō family's secret technique, [Absolute], to deliberately suppress the result. After all, when registering, he had to write down his cultivation time, and he had only cultivated for half a year. If it was too eye-catching, it wouldn't be a good thing. Sei Itō, who understood the essence of keeping a low profile, of course wouldn't push himself to the forefront of the storm.
"Hmm? A newcomer? "The man with the murderous aura spoke again.
"Yes." Sei Itō looked very obedient and nodded. It was neither ostentatious nor cowardly.
"How long have you been cultivating?" The man asked, and at the same time, his murderous aura began to spread, oppressing Sei Itō. This was the beginning of the test. It could ensure that the other party was telling the truth, and it could also test whether the other party was a person who needed to be recorded. Of course, this was for ordinary newcomers.
"Half a year." Sei Itō frowned and pretended to resist, but he didn't pretend too much. After all, the man's method was slow and continuous. If he looked like he was struggling to resist, it would make him look fake.
"Half a year? One section in half a year is not bad. How about it? Do you want to come to the Ministry of Environment for an internship? "The man praised, saying something that he would say every year when he met a newcomer. This was another purpose of the test. If they found a good seedling, they would try to recruit him to the Ministry of Environment. After all, the Ministry of Environment and Ise Grand Shrine belonged to different factions. One belonged to the Cabinet, while the other belonged to the Royal Family. There was competition between the two factions, and no one would let go of any opportunity to increase their combat power.
"No, no, I'm going to college after the New Year. I don't want to focus on my studies for the time being," Sei Itō said with difficulty under the pressure.
"Isn't this contradictory? You can go to school and do an internship at the same time." The man continued to ask. At this time, the murderous aura in his murderous aura surged towards Sei Itō, as if Sei Itō was going to destroy him if he didn't answer the question well.
"No, no, I … still, still … ready … to, to concentrate on studying …" Ito Sei forced out the sweat on his forehead and pretended to be very weak. The murderous aura on his body also began to leak out.
Hmm? You are indeed a good seedling. The man felt Sei Itō's murderous aura and thought to himself. Then, he continued to increase the pressure to test Sei Itō's potential and willpower.
"Hmph!" The man snorted and stared at Sei Itō coldly. The murderous aura and murderous aura surged towards Sei Itō.
"Th … th … th … th …" Sei Itō pretended to be trembling and his teeth were chattering. He looked evasively at the old man beside him, causing the old man, his mother, and his two sisters to be very worried.
"It's done," the priest frowned and said. Instantly, the man withdrew his murderous aura and murderous aura. Sei Itō looked as if he had been reborn and could fall to the ground at any time. Suzu Ito and Li Nai quickly came up and helped Sei Itō to the side to rest.
"Okay, the test is over. Old man, please register your grandson. "The man walked to the side of the old man Ito and the priest.
"Okay." Don Ito nodded and agreed. He, the man, and the priest went to the clerk and reported Sei Itō's height, weight, age, blood type, cultivation time, family background, and other information.
The smiling young man, who had not made a sound or caused any trouble, looked with interest at Sei Itō, who was being taken care of by Suzu Ito and Li Nai. No one knew what he was thinking.
The registration was very fast. It was all done through the wireless network. After submitting Sei Itō's information and the old man's information, the group of people left and went to the next family's location.
After everyone left, Sei Itō's expression changed. He stood up energetically and looked at the car driving away with narrowed eyes. He had noticed the young man's gaze just now. It was obvious that the young man was not a simple character. He did not seem to be fooled by his act.
"Ah Cheng, are you okay?" Li Nai asked with concern.
"It's okay, I was just pretending." Sei Itō smiled and comforted.
"Hahahaha, not bad, the grandson of my Ito family did not let me down." Hearing Sei Itō's words, Don Ito laughed and was very satisfied with Sei Itō's performance.
"A year has passed." Eriko also sighed.
Then the five people returned to the shrine together and completely relaxed. The following days became calm again. Sei Itō still used the Internet to browse the content of the alchemy website, or read other books in his family's scripture pavilion, or exercised the power in his body and used the newly acquired knowledge to refine his cultivation method.
In the middle, Sei Itō also took an exam before the school's annual vacation, and then there was a month-long vacation …
