Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mike stayed in the snowstorm for a while before flying down the mountain.
Akari and the rest had already bid farewell to Sherlock and Catherine. As they were walking up the mountain, they bumped into Mike.
Mike saw them coming up and stopped in his tracks. He bowed to them.
Everyone returned the salute, but many of their eyes were filled with reluctance.
Akari nodded and said, “Are you going down the mountain?”
Mike said, “I still have to rush back to make a training plan for the kids who failed the selection. The results now are a little embarrassing.”
A cold snort came from the crowd.
The youth beside Akari looked at the person and said, “Is your throat uncomfortable?”
That student called Beta hurriedly stepped out and said, “I just feel that what you said is laughable.”
Second Senior tightly furrowed his brows and said, “Don’t spout nonsense and hurt the harmony between our two countries.”
Beta said, “I’m not lying. I admit that Mike, you are very talented, very hard-working, and very strong. However, only a few of those high-level people from the Dark Continent can do it. According to our usual standards, I’m afraid that only 14 out of the 214 people can be accepted. We were able to accept 70 of them was because Senior Ma Nan lowered the standards at the last minute. There are still more than 100 people who haven’t passed. Among them, a few of them have their nostrils almost up to the sky.”
Mike’s expression became very strange. He bowed to Beta and said, “Thank you for your reminder, Senior Beta’s. I will go and ask Senior Ma nan later. If he really lowered the standard, naturally, I will not agree to it.”
Second Senior frowned. She sighed softly and said, “Mike, why do you have to be so serious?”
Mike said, “Senior Amelia, when I came, I promised your country, and your country also promised me that we would treat everyone equally. Since we are treating everyone equally, you don’t need to be so cordial?”
Amelia sighed and said, “I was the one who made the decision on this matter. I didn’t think it through.”
Mike quickly said, “No, you did the right thing. I was the one who was wrong. I overestimated these little brats.”
Amelia sighed and asked, “Things have already come to this. Even if you really want to do something about it, what can you do?”
Mike’s gaze was firm as he said, “Let them do it all again. Let them be retrained. When they reach the standards of the Dark Continent, we’ll let them participate in the selection.”
Amelia wanted to say something else, but she was pulled back by Akari who was beside her.
The two exchanged glances and immediately understood each other’s intentions.
Amelia also stopped persuading Mike. She said, “Then, Mike, just do it. Our Dark Continent will provide you with a selection at any time.”
Mike then flew down the mountain.
Beta said again, “It looks like those kids will have a hard time.”
Amelia scolded angrily, “You’re such a boor. How much trouble are you going to give Mike?”
Beta scratched her big head and said, “Isn’t being realistic one of the commandments of the Church of Darkness?”
Amelia instantly fell silent. All the Senior Brothers burst into laughter and said,
“Beta, if you get serious, even senior Amelia, who has always been serious, will admit defeat.”
Mike sped on the mountain road. In just ten minutes, he had returned to everyone’s residence.
He pulled the emergency signal arrow, and all the members came to him within ten minutes.
Mike looked at the group of people and said, “I don’t want to hide anything from you. I’ve decided to tell you what I just heard.”
Mike told everyone what he had just heard. Everyone laughed bitterly as they listened.
Mike said, “I’ll give you two choices. The first is for everyone to withdraw and retrain before the selection. The second is to maintain the status quo and allow the Dark Continent people to look down on us even more.”
Everyone fell silent.
Mike looked at the group of people and said, “Are you guys so cowardly? Is it so difficult to make a decision?”
A timid voice came from the crowd. He said, “I want re-selection. I don’t want to lose the dignity of the Dark Continent.”
Mike watched and then slowly clapped.
Mike said, “I didn’t expect that the most straightforward one would be the youngest guy. Ah? Tariq? Butler? Elena? Do you have nothing to say?”
The Butler stood up and said, “I agree to the re-selection. Everyone will be re-selected.”
Tariq and Elena said at the same time, “Seconded.”
Mike looked at the group of teenagers and felt a headache coming on.
If he were to do it himself, he was naturally confident that he could successfully pass the selection in three months.
However, objectively speaking, this group of teenagers was not equal to him. They were even much worse than him back then.
This difference was not reflected in their talent and resources. They might have affected this group of teenagers, but Mike felt that the real reason was the mentality of this group of teenagers.
This group of youth lived too comfortably. Even if they were on the battlefield of the undead, they were still protected by another group of people.
They did not feel the urgency of life and death at all. The endless undead did not give them a sense of danger at all, it was as if the survival of this country had nothing to do with them.
The more Mike thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply told them to disband while he went to look Ma Nan himself.
Mike had obtained the selection criteria for the Dark Continent from Ma Nan. He browsed through it for a moment and his mood became even heavier.
He returned to his wooden house and found that someone was inside.
He pushed open the door and found that it was Elinda.
Elinda looked at Mike’s expression and asked, “How is it? Is it not going well?”
Mike frowned and handed the actual selection criteria for the Dark Continent to Elinda.
After reading it, Elinda frowned as well.
Mike said, “His Majesty the Dark Lord, wants to preserve the flame of the Dark Continent. Or, after the situation is reversed in the future, we will bring a group of elites back to help the Dark Continent. However, looking at the current situation, don’t even mention learning, they can’t get selection. These kids are still acting like nothing happened. I don’t know what they are doing there.”
Elinda sighed and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Mike also sighed and said, “What else can I do? In these three months, the Demon Training will begin, and we will try to get as many to be selected as we can.”
Elinda nodded and said, “You don’t have to worry too much about this matter. We have to have confidence in this group of people.”
Mike nodded and said, “I hope so. I have to think about how to train them in these few months.”
A day quickly passed.. Last night, fortunately, no one came to disturb Mike.
