Chapter 344: Full Moon Voyage (1)
After hearing why she was called here, the Countess nodded. “I see. So I just say you passed and that’s all? It’s simpler than adding a slice of cheese to a burger.”
“Why did you use a burger as a comparison?”
“Because I’m on a diet...”
The Countess looked sad, resembling a hamster who just learned that nibbling sunflower seeds was now illegal. I had never been on a diet, so I couldn’t really tell how difficult it was to not stray from it. Still, she seemed to be having a very hard time.
“Why not burn the fat with your aura?” I asked.
“That’s what an aura psycho genius like you does, Death King. I would like you to remember that not all Hunters use their aura like you do. No one wants to accidentally burn their organs while burning their fat.”
“It’s not that hard...”
“Mock the peasants on your alone time. Anyhow, I have no reason not to give you a pass. You passed. Please send me to the first floor.” The Countess sneered. “That’s it, right?”
The Primordial Staff shook her head. “I’m sorry, but things don’t work like that. As an examiner, you have to watch the Death King.”
“If I must name the most shitty word I’ve heard, it’d be ‘duty.’ It’s somehow forced on the receiving end of exercised power. The biggest fraud isn’t a merchant like me, but speech itself.”
“You have a point. I’ll rephrase. Watch the Death King’s quest. You have no other choice but to listen to me.”
“Fuck.”
