After reading the reminder from [Materialism], Leon couldn’t help but be slightly stunned, and then instinctively looked up sharply, gazing at the Pisces director sitting on the podium.
The basic effect of the [Materialism] badge is that the more you "understand" an anomaly, the more you can resist the corresponding anomaly, and the "Exceptional Observation" secret technique of Pisces Palace happens to directly help you gain a vast amount of information.
If I learned the Pisces secret technique and acquired this unparalleled analytical ability, then doesn’t that mean...
After cleaning up the centipede giant ants, Leon stood silently next to him without any movement for quite a while, causing Amin to gently push him with a hint of concern and softly asked:
After pulling his gaze away from the Pisces director who had closed his eyes, Leon apologetically smiled and said:
"Sorry, I got a bit distracted... Thank you for coming over to help me just now, Senior Amin."
"No worries, and actually I didn’t help much, mostly you did well."
Having glanced at the horned man lying beneath the table, infiltrated from inside out by his talents, Amin, seeing Leon still acting normal despite touching others’ talents physically, couldn’t help but say expectantly:
"Leon, do you want to continue collaborating with me and finish this exam early?"
Finish the exam early?
Upon hearing the toilet lady’s words, all the cleaners around couldn’t help but change their expressions altogether.
Regarding what cooperating really means, the horned man from Taurus Division has already demonstrated with his experience, these two from Virgin Branch are probably planning to replicate the previous action, wiping away everyone one by one!
Understanding what Leon and Amin were planning, immediately a cleaner shouted:
"This is an exam aimed at solo opposition! They teaming up should count as a violation!"
"Right! We can’t let them mess around !"
"That guy hasn’t even shown his talent, if he holds out till the end , it’s just too unfair!"
Hearing the protest from the cleaners below, the Pisces director opened one eye again and said leisurely:
"Current rules of this exam do not limit teaming up; as long as your will can endure, you can use their method as well."
"But if we get close, talents will affect each other, there’s no way to team up like them!"
"That’s not my concern."
Casting an appreciative glance at the duo, the half-closed Pisces director said plainly:
"What I can confirm now is that they didn’t violate any rules, and don’t think I am biased towards anyone. Didn’t I also let the little bull be when he wanted to do mischief earlier? In essence, as long as it doesn’t violate my established rules, you’re free to do whatever you want."
Seeing that Amin had gotten permission for "free action" from Pisces director, showing a satisfied smile, and then inviting Leon to start "rinsing" other candidates one by one, most cleaners couldn’t hold back anymore.
Isn’t there... any freedom for us facing these two beasts? Freedom to be drenched by their toilet soup?
"Come on guys... Do you really have to go this far?"
Being dragged out from under the table by Leon, after grabbing the escaping "talent," the cleaner with a fox tail couldn’t help but complain bitterly:
"I’ve already quit the exam, crawled under the table myself, and you’re still going to drag me up for a force-feeding?"
Glancing at the fox man’s paper top, seeing the Libra Division mark, Leon somewhat apologetically explained:
"Mainly, you’re worth five gold... Um... I mean, your ability and talent are very outstanding, and our Virgin Branch wants to take first place this time, so we must try to suppress others’ scores."
Where are you feeling sorry? It seems you are very unapologetic!
As the fox man fell down with a face full of sorrow, having rinsed nearly three hundred candidates, Leon wiped his sweat and then worriedly checked on the pale-faced toilet lady beside him.
"Senior Amin? Are you okay?"
If you ask about the status, then probably not okay...
Upon hearing Leon’s concerned inquiry, the toilet lady couldn’t help but chuckle and then nodded vigorously.
"Still okay, keep going!"
Though the cleaners who came for the assessment this time were all average in strength and talent, even if they are ordinary, after clashing "talent" with three hundred people, the will is somewhat unsupportable.
Though the will is already at its limit, there are still other means to use as "fuel" to continue supporting; if Leon can knock everyone down and directly secure first place for Virgin Branch, even if it means resting for a month back home, it’d be worth it!
Feeling the determination from Senior Amin’s eyes, Leon asked no more but followed the weary-looking toilet lady and continued his "irrigation" journey.
Soon, amidst a series of curses and jeers, most of the candidates in the entire exam hall had crawled under the tables, only leaving two figures black and white, still calmly sitting in their original seats.
"Alright, it looks like I can only help you up to here."
Glancing at those two backs, having traded talents over four hundred times, with her will already pushed to the limit, Amin lay on three lined chairs in Leon’s support, and then promised with a smile:
"Good luck! If you get first in this challenge too, I’ll gift you ten bottles of my treasured potion when back to the branch!"
"..." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel※fire.net
Thanks for the encouragement, but spare me the potion...
In Leon’s peculiar expression, the exhausted Amin laid down peacefully, taking fourth place. Meanwhile, seeing all cleaners had withdrawn except for the top three, the cross-legged Pisces director opened his eyes slightly, shaking the haggard body.
With a strange buzzing sound, the expansive exam hall suddenly shrank, all fallen cleaners were expelled, leaving only the front row of seats.
With six-winged "Angel" on the left and "Death" veiled in gray fog on the right, bruised Leon in the middle, they sat shoulder to shoulder, Leon’s left leg even brushing against the soft feathers on "Angel’s" wings.
