Chapter 710: I’ll Join You
The Dark Knight Academy was known for its unorthodox way of doing things, which made Charlotte’s statement feel far more believable. Honestly, Liam himself had already considered the possibility moments earlier before Charlotte had even voiced it aloud.
The academy claimed this assessment was meant to evaluate individual survival.
However, it had also been clearly stated that the test was meant to be more than simple survival.
And because of that, the possibility of there being some hidden or secondary objective wasn’t far-fetched at all.
"So you think they want us to discover the truth about Berserker demons?" Charlotte asked casually.
"I never said that," Liam replied calmly. "And honestly, that thought never crossed my mind until now."
Charlotte stared at him for a moment.
"So you were planning to search for a Berserker entirely out of your own curiosity?"
"Yes," Liam answered simply. "There is truth to the academy likely knowing far more about Berserker demons than they’ve taught us, and possibly using this assessment to observe which students are willing to move beyond merely surviving as prey in this realm and instead begin uncovering truths like predators."
He paused briefly before continuing.
"But that possibility remains nothing more than an assumption because none of it was ever officially mentioned. The academy itself might also be oblivious to the actual truth behind Berserker demons."
His crimson eyes reflected softly in the firelight.
