Chapter 58: O Magnificent Lord
After that Klein give reports about the mission and Without waiting for Klein to speak, he instructed, "You can submit the special application . "
"Alright . " Klein lifted the corner of his lips when he answered .
He got up with a smile and walked towards the door . As expected, he heard a familiar additional remark .
"Hold on," Dunn called out . He weighed his words and said, "Take note of your choice of words . "
Don't worry, Captain . I place a far greater importance on this matter than you do! Klein nodded in agreement with a smile .
Since Klein was finished with his mysticism lessons, he didn't go to the basement in a hurry but walked to the clerk's office next door after leaving the Captain's office .
Klein found an empty desk and began writing a draft for the special application .
As he already had a draft in his head, it only took about ten minutes to complete his initial work . After reading it a couple of times and amending parts of it, he sat before the Akerson Model 1346 typewriter and started typing his draft onto a document .
Just as he was going to complete his special application, Leonard Mitchell came out of the restroom . He looked around while he buttoned his shirt . There was an unrestrained beauty in his messy hair .
"What's the report you're writing?" Leonard looked around the clerk's office as he leaned against the door frame with his right foot tiptoed to balance himself and his hands tucked into his pockets .
His green eyes examined Klein with interest .
Klein typed the last word and the last punctuation mark . He then turned his head and smiled .
"Special application . "
"Special application?" Leonard asked, puzzled .
Klein picked up the paper and skimmed through it quickly . He casually explained, "A special application to advance to Sequence 8 . "
Cough! Cough! Cough! Leonard suddenly coughed vigorously . He calmed down and asked,
"You're already done digesting the potion?"
Digest? Bro, you know quite a bit… Klein held his special application and walked before Leonard . He lifted an eyebrow and said, "Yes . "
Then, he looked into his eyes and added softly with a chuckle, "I remember someone told me once that there are some people who are special, people who can do things that others can't .
"Such as me .
"Such as you . "
Leonard was suddenly at a loss for words . He could only change his standing posture and take his hands out his pockets to cross them in front of his chest .
He opened his mouth and finally organized his words . He asked in a low voice, "Don't you think that it's too risky?"
Klein thought something and said " Let see who reach Sequence 7 first. Don't you know about hero's rival in novels."
He muttered to himself and said, "Maybe, I have to hurry up…"
Just as he finished, he suddenly looked at Klein and flashed a smile as he said, "Aren't you going to share your experience with us? The experience to quickly grasp a potion and avoid the risk of losing control!"
This guy sure can put on a facade quickly… Klein smiled and answered, "I'm more than willing to . "
He was planning to seize the opportunity today to remind his Nighthawk teammates on how to minimize the risk of losing control .
"Let's do it now then!" Leonard impatiently dragged Klein to the Nighthawks' recreation room .
At that very moment, other than Royale who was taking her shift at Chanis Gate, Frye, Kenley, and Seeka Tron were there playing cards .
"Everyone, everyone!" Leonard knocked on the half-closed door and spoke as if he was reciting a poem, "Let me introduce this man next to me, Mr . Klein Moretti, who has fully grasped his potion in less then one month!"
"What?" Even Seeka Tron, the author who wasn't famous and barely sold any books, cocked her head sideways as though she was testing her hearing ability .
"Leonard, don't joke around . You're always exaggerating things . " Kenley covered his cards helplessly .
Frye held his cards as he looked at Klein . He kept quiet for a while and said, "Are you sure that you've already fully grasped the potion?"
"Yes . " Klein could feel his concern and he nodded confidently . "There was an obvious indication . "
"What? Really?" Kenley shouted a delayed response and stood up .
Leonard chuckled and pointed at the paper in Klein's hands as he said, "This is the special application that he's going to hand in . The special application to advance to Sequence 8!"
"… How did you do it?" Seeka Tron had many questions, but she only voiced the one that concerned her the most after taking a deep breath .
She was normally quiet and elegant, but now she had a burning passion in her eyes that couldn't be suppressed .
Klein found a chair and sat down . He lowered his voice and answered, "I found inspiration from the maxim of the Mystery Pryers and from mam daly's example."
"Do as you wish, but do no harm?" Leonard supplemented .
"Yes . According to our confidential information, following this maxim gives the Mystery Pryers a lower probability of losing control," Klein explained what he learned from Old Neil . "After that, Madam Daly's example gave me a better understanding of the process . "
"Spirit Medium Daly?" Kenley asked in reply, hoping to gain confirmation .
"Yes . Madam Daly has handed in a special application before . She only used two years to become a Spirit Medium from Corpse Collector . She once told Old Neil that she wanted to be a real Spirit Medium," Klein explained in detail . "With the experience I gained in the Divination Club and corresponding feedback that I've received, I gradually concluded my Seer principles . Then I followed it strictly and tried to become a real Seer… When I did so, I realized that the speed at which I grasped the potion became faster . "
As they listened to Klein's recount, Frye, Seeka, and the rest fell into deep thought . Even Leonard pretended to be thinking .
"I'm going to hand in my special application . " Klein waved the paper in his hands . "If you have any problems, do ask me privately . "
"Alright," Frye replied coldly with a nod .
Klein left the recreation room and knocked on the door to the Captain's office again .
He sat down opposite to Dunn, then took up a pen and ink pad . He signed and stamped his thumbprint .
"Captain, this is my special application . " After that, he passed the paper to Dunn with both hands .
Dunn looked through it carefully and put down the application .
"I'll submit it to the Holy Cathedral as soon as possible . You should be prepared to be examined . Perhaps next week or the following week . "
"Alright . " Klein took a deep breath and nodded seriously .
He stood up, exited the Captain's office, and closed the door behind him . During the process, he thought about the Tarot Gathering.
At 1PM, Klein took four steps counterclockwise, and arrived above the gray fog . The lofty palace stood tall and silent while the ancient, mottled bronze table and twenty-two high chairs remained the same .
Klein took the seat of honor he noticed the crimson star that had been silent all this time was twinkling with faint light again .
Klein extended his spirituality with interest and saw the young man that spoke Jotun again . He saw him kneeling before a pure crystal ball .
The young man was still wearing the black tights that were different from the clothing of countries in the Northern Continent . His facial features were blurry and distorted, but Klein could faintly see his brownish-yellow hair .
He knelt there and prayed with an unusual pain in his tone .
"O Magnificent Deity, please cast your eyes on this land that you have forsaken .
"O Magnificent Deity, please allow us, the People of the Dark, be freed from the curse of our destiny .
"I am willing to dedicate my life to you, using my blood to please you . "
He extended his right hand and touched the illusory crimson star .
The cloud of crimson immediately exploded, and the light flowed in like water .
...
Over and over again, just as he was in complete despair and about to stand, he saw a dark red glow burst forth from the pure crystal ball .
The glow was like flowing water, instantly swallowing Derrick .
