"What?
He was persuaded?
That Dark Eater wants to leave the Dark Eater Alliance and become 2567's follower?! "
Garcia, who was lying on the sickbed, felt like he was listening to a fairy tale as he listened to the assistant's narration. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes.
Although it's hard to believe, that Dark Eater really wants to leave the Dark Eater Alliance. We've confirmed it just now. "
The assistant nodded in an affirmative manner.
He understood Garcia's shock and disbelief very well.
Not too long ago, he felt the same way too.
In fact, it was a few times more intense than before.
As the researchers of Duyer Research Lab, they were no strangers to the Dark Eater. They knew how terrifying those who abandoned their dignity, honor, and even their humanity were. Usually, when a battle broke out, it would take two to three people of the same rank to suppress a Dark Eater, but now, a real Dark Eater was persuaded by a simple sentence. If they didn't confirm it, they would think it was a fantasy story.
The ward fell into silence.
After a while, Garcia finally came back to his senses.
"Where are the two men that I arranged to receive 2567?
Where are they? "
Garcia asked.
"Unfortunately, they were caught in 2567's attack, they didn't even have the chance to identify themselves."
The assistant said carefully.
He knew the 4th year student's plan. He hoped to help the First Seat during his most difficult time. Not only would he gain Kieran's favor, he might even be able to recruit Kieran, despite the fact that he was the one who created Kieran's most difficult time.
But as long as they succeeded, who would care about all that?
But …
They failed.
More importantly, the two men that went out to help the First Seat lost their lives.
They went for wool and came home shorn.
"Dead?"
Garcia was stunned.
The seven-man team that Professor Duyer had painstakingly nurtured was completely annihilated in less than an hour?
More importantly, they had all met with misfortune while carrying out his orders.
How did this happen?
Everything was clearly planned.
'They didn't do anything wrong, it's my plan that went awry.
It's all my fault! '
For a moment, the 4th year student started to doubt his life.
The fourth-year student's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face became unnaturally red.
In the end …
Puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the wound that had just been stitched began to bleed, quickly dying the gauze red.
Garcia immediately fainted.
"Doctor! Doctor! "
The assistant in the research lab shouted loudly.
…
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Senile was almost growling at the top of his lungs.
When he received the news about the Dark Eater, he rushed over, but when he arrived, he realized the trouble before him was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
That Dark Eater had abandoned his identity as a Dark Eater and was prepared to … no, he had already become a follower of their new Chief Seat.
Senile's temple started to throb rapidly when he saw the former Dark Eater standing quietly behind 2567.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if the news of today's incident spread far and wide.
The lunatics of the Dark Eaters were not to be trifled with.
What made him even more helpless was that today's incident would inevitably spread far and wide.
More than 50 people died in Theorate, even Principal Romuse couldn't suppress the news.
Even though the people who died deserved it.
Once he thought about what they would have to face in the coming days, Senile really wanted to punch Kieran in the face and warn him not to cause any more trouble.
However, when he thought about the difference in strength between them, he wisely chose not to punch Kieran and instead shouted at him.
"I know."
Kieran nodded.
"You know and yet you still do it?"
Senile growled even louder.
"What reason do I have to reject a person who abandoned evil and returned to kindness?"
Kieran asked.
"But have you thought about the trouble it will bring you?"
Senile slammed the table in front of him and stood up.
"I have.
"But if everyone rejects kindness because of the balance in their hearts, then the world will fall into true darkness. It's really too sad."
I can't persuade others to do what they want.
But I hope I can hold on to the bottom line in my heart. "
Kieran's voice wasn't loud, and his tone was calm, but his words showed a never before seen sense of truth and … righteousness.
Senile looked at Kieran blankly after the words, unable to come up with anything to refute.
The clerk, who was taking notes, raised his head and looked at Kieran with a sense of admiration.
"Let me remind you, the Dark Eaters will do anything to take revenge on you.
Although they have lost their reputation, they still want to redeem what the name Dark Eater represents. "
Senile sat back in his chair, took two deep breaths, and said in a serious tone.
"Em.
Let them come. "
Kieran stood up and walked out.
The silent ex-Dark Eater followed Kieran without missing a step.
The door slowly closed.
Senile sat behind his desk, not saying a word.
He stared at the closed door, his mind echoing Kieran's words.
"If everyone rejects kindness because of the balance in their hearts, then the world will fall into true darkness. It's too sad!"
"When did I start to measure everything by benefits?"
"When I graduate?"
"No, it was even earlier."
It should be the first time I went to the Mystic State. My teacher told me to abandon the wounded and ensure the safety of the others.
There's nothing wrong with that.
"Sacrificing a small portion to ensure the majority is the wisest choice!"
"But … why can't I forget about it even now?"
Why do I still feel … uneasy? "
Senile covered his head with both his hands and kept scratching his hair.
The clerk picked up the notebook and quietly walked outside without making a sound.
Meanwhile, in the room next door, Professor Tyrese was waiting for him.
Professor Tyrese took the notes from the clerk and went through them carefully.
As a matter of fact, he had already seen everything.
This room and the room next door were the same.
With an oil painting as a disguise, the people in this room could easily see what was going on next door, and the people next door knew nothing about this room.
Shua, Shua.
The flipping of the pages was the only sound in the room. At the end, Professor Tyrese sighed.
"Leonard, go check on Senile.
You need to pay more attention to him.
He still can't get over what happened in the past. "
Professor Tyrese told Leonard, who was worried and wanted to leave.
"Yes, Professor."
Leonard hurried to the room next door.
When only Professor Tyrese and the clerk were left in the room, Professor Tyrese looked at the latter.
"What do you think, Molly?"
Tyrese asked.
"He's a good lad.
He might look cold, but he knows what he should do.
Maybe he's a little too violent, but he's trustworthy.
But first, you have to gain his trust. "
The white-haired, bespectacled clerk replied. On the clerk's right hand was a small potted plant the size of a pinky finger. It looked like a dandelion, swaying as he spoke, as if agreeing with the clerk's words.
"Is that so?
Have you seen the surveillance footage?
What's the problem? "
Tyrese pondered for a moment before he continued to ask.
"Everything is normal.
That Dark Eater tried to confuse 2567 with words, but he didn't expect 2567's will to be as strong as a rock and his mind was sharp. Not only did he fail, but 2567 even poked the hidden weakness in his heart.
So much so that after his mental defenses crumbled, what happened after that happened happened. "
The clerk knew what Tyrese wanted to ask, so he said it right away.
"Such a thing is really unbelievable!"
Tyrese exclaimed.
"It's not that unbelievable.
But it's not something a commoner can achieve.
"He needs extreme self-confidence and corresponding charisma."
The clerk corrected the mistake in Tyrese's words.
"Does 2567 have that?"
Tyrese asked.
"In front of 50 dead bodies, it's a shock to anyone. You can think of it as another kind of charisma.
But 2567 won't have to use all that in the future. "
The clerk was hinting at something.
"Hope he doesn't cause any more trouble!
"Theorate's anniversary celebration is starting soon!"
Tyrese said with a bitter smile.
"Maybe trouble will turn into something good?"
The clerk said in an optimistic tone.
Yes, trouble could turn into something good.
As long as one was prepared and seized the opportunity.
Just like Kieran at the moment.
Kieran was counting the 33 Magic rank items and 2 Rare rank items in his dorm, the smile on his face unconcealable.
Although only the 2 Rare rank items were noteworthy, the value of the 33 Magic rank items was not something two Rare rank items could compare to.
After he tidied up the 33 Magic rank items and put them into his backpack, Kieran looked at the 2 Rare rank items.
[Name: Cream Ball]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Heal]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It's a type of combat food developed by Duyer Research Lab.]
…
[Heal: Put the Cream Ball in your mouth and it will recover 50 HP per minute, lasts for 20 minutes, or swallow it to recover 300 HP in one go.]
…
[Name: Crispy Pancake]
[Type: Wonder Item]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Invigorate]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: It's a type of combat food developed by Duyer Research Lab.]
…
[Invigorate: Even on the brink of death, the crispy pancake will cheer you up. Consuming it will allow a dying person to stay alive for 1 minute, but after 1 minute, the person's organs will fail and die quickly. If you want to save the injured, it's not the best way but the last resort.]
…
Unlike most of the kitchen utensils that were Magic rank, the two Rare rank items were single-use food. Although they weren't combat food, as long as they were used properly, they could bring out unexpected effects.
After carefully placing [Cream Ball] and [Crispy Pancake] in his backpack, Kieran took out the metal box with [Golden Cake (Replica)] in it.
Seriously speaking, in this plan, the [Golden Cake (Replica)] that he had gotten his hands on and the other Proper Meal was what Kieran was looking forward to the most.
Kak!
After carefully opening the box, a golden glow shone on Kieran's face.
More importantly, the aroma of the cake assaulted his face.
Looking at the golden cake that was only 7 inches in size, Kieran remembered that once the food left the storage box, its rarity would drop over time. He grabbed it and put it into his mouth without a second thought.
The soft, sweet yet not overpowering taste instantly filled his teeth and taste buds.
Then, the whole cake melted into a semi-liquid state like a melted ice cream, flowing down Kieran's esophagus and into his stomach.
Gluttony, who had been waiting for a long time, cheered excitedly and dashed towards the delicious food.
After Gluttony decomposed and converted it, Devil Force, Dawn Force, Plague Force, Saint Thorn Force, and Cardinal Sins Force started to flow faster.
The Origin Forces in Kieran's body once again transformed into the purest form of energy, supplying the fire in his mind, making it brighter and brighter, expelling more chaos and darkness.
Everything was the same as before.
However, the changes that happened next surprised Kieran.
[Absorbed special energy, Intuition + 3]
[Intuition ZZ → ZZZ (Strong I)]
…
Attribute increase!
It was attribute increase and not some kind of skill increase!
Kieran looked at the words that popped up in his vision and quickly thought of the attributes of [Golden Cake (Replica)]. [Golden Blessing (Incomplete): Replenish, optimize body attributes].
If the incomplete attribute could increase Intuition by 3 ranks, then … what about the complete attribute?
And!
A Proper Meal in the truest sense was already a great reward for him.
Now, he still had two more Proper Meal class food that he hadn't gotten his hands on!
Bang, Bang Bang!
Kieran raised his left hand and tapped on the chair's armrest, squinting his eyes. He realized he had underestimated the hidden value of this dungeon world.
Fortunately, he was careful and vigilant enough, he didn't overlook too much and didn't make any mistakes.
In fact, there might be even more unexpected rewards.
Out of instinct, Kieran looked at the Dark Eater beside him.
The Dark Eater knelt down on one knee and said in a sincere tone.
