Chapter 76: Taking A Trial Mission... Second Death???
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two weeks had flown by. During this period, Kranos focused on cultivation and crafting arrays for protection. In the end, he successfully created about thirty loop arrays of various types—mainly offensive and defensive. Of course, he had many failures along the way, but with each attempt, his mastery of array techniques grew sharper.
Opening his eyes, Kranos stood up. Everything was ready. Since he had decided to participate in a group mission, he knew punctuality was important. Leaving his courtyard, he walked through the academy, passing several unfamiliar faces. Noticing a young man standing off to the side, he approached him.
"Hey, do you know where we can accept missions?" Kranos asked politely, cupping his fists in greeting.
The young man glanced at him, then recalled the upcoming trials. "We accept missions for the trial in the Law Enforcement Hall," he replied.
"Law Enforcement Hall?" Kranos murmured, trying to recall the location. His memory didn’t fail him as he quickly remembered Carlos showing them to the law enforcement hall, they were in charge of distributing missions and maintaining law and order among the cultivators of the academy.
"Thank you," Kranos said, cupping his fists again before heading toward the building.
The hall wasn’t far from the residential quarters, and soon Kranos arrived. Upon entering, he saw a handful of cultivators talking amongst themselves. Several jade slips were scattered across the tables, and to no surprise, he spotted Carlos in the crowd.
Kranos sighed inwardly. He had already predicted that his troublesome brother would be here. Fortunately, he was well-prepared. With the arrays he had crafted along with his spatial abilities, escaping in cases of extreme danger would be no problem at all.
Aside from the law enforcers, he also recognized a few familiar faces from his classes. Nodding to them, he approached a different counter—avoiding Carlos entirely.
