2. Special Admission – 04

At first, it was just entertainment.

I was walking around the outskirts of Nineveh out of the office full of paperwork that was boring just by looking at it.

Just as she was lounging around to pass the time, a voice rang in her ear.

– I came to Nineveh to enroll.

– I’m sorry, but it’s not the admission period right now…

It wasn’t that I had to prick up my ears to eavesdrop on their conversation. It was just that her hearing was so sharp that she could hear the slightest sound as vividly as if it were coming from right next to her.

‘It was no big deal.’

There are so many people who come to the admissions office to tell the truth to the pathetic dean of admissions that you can’t count them with your fingers. It’s just such a common thing that you don’t need to worry about it.

Well, the dean of admissions, who was unlucky enough to be caught by the truth, was slightly pitiful, but wasn’t he the one who put him in that position in the first place, paying an expensive salary to be in charge of such a job?

Her excitement cooled at once, and she shrugged her shoulders and continued on her way. no, i was going to The next moment, if it wasn’t for those words that came to her ears.

– As a descendant of the Seven Heroes, I would like to exercise the right of special admission given to me.

‘A descendant of the Seven Heroes?’

When I only heard his voice from a distance, I thought he was a mere swindler or a braggart.

Of course, the name of the seven heroes has a higher status than the emperor in the entire continent, so there are almost no humans who dare to mention the name, but isn’t the original world wide and there are many crazy people?

It was really pathetic. Even if he sells the name of the Seven Heroes to enter Nineveh, all of his resources will be revealed in the process of completing the regular curriculum. Why would he tell such an obvious lie?

However, after meeting Jin with his own two eyes, the chairman had no choice but to change his mind.

A man named Jin was a truly unique man. More than anyone she has ever faced.

‘I thought there was an object in the world that Libra’s demonic eyes couldn’t read.’

The Mystic Eye of Libra possessed by the Chairman is a special eye that has the ability to read other people’s minds arbitrarily and discriminate between others’ lies.

Few people knew that a human from Count Edelstein’s family had the Mystic Eye of Libra, but few people who knew about it dared to make eye contact with her or even talk to her.

It was extremely rare for anyone in the world to treat others without ostentation or lies.

The chairman himself also didn’t like this ability that was handed down to Count Edelstein. Because she was also forced to face the ugly and dirty side of the world because of this ability.

At the same time, however, the ability of Libra’s Mystic Eye showed an excellent ability to search out Ganja or filter out opponents with ulterior motives.

That’s why I was hoping that I would be able to expose the identity of that bluff man who dared to crawl all the way to Nineveh and tell lies without knowing the subject-

‘I couldn’t read anything.’

It was also a first. Even if she faced her demonic eyes head-on, she couldn’t read anything.

Could it be that there was a trait or tool that resisted the effects of the Mystic Eye? No, Libra’s demonic eyes clearly captured the existence of a man named Jin and peered into his inner self. It’s just that I couldn’t read anything in it.

Of course, the chairman himself knew all too well that Libra’s Mystic Eye was not omnipotent.

Basically, if you are of a higher rank than her, if you have a concept of another dimension that is beyond her understanding, or if you have a strong mental barrier, the demonic eyes of the scale will not be able to use its power.

However, as the chairman judged, the opponent was not included in any category. Then how on earth was he able to resist her demonic spell?

What didn’t make sense was that it wasn’t the only thing.

When he first met a man named Jin, the chairman did not feel anything from him.

I didn’t feel anything from him, neither the spirit nor the sense of coercion that a strong man should have. His body was also in a state of weakness, like that of an ordinary person who had not been trained.

… And just that, it was strange.

From the outside, he must be an insignificant man who doesn’t feel anything.

The director’s intuition was whispering to her:

never underestimate That man has the means to kill himself.

So I tried it. I wanted to find out what the man was hiding and whether the means he was hiding were within reach of his teeth.

And the results were truly astonishing.

“… under.”

The chairman stared blankly at his right hand. Her right hand, which had been holding Jin’s wrist until just now.

Just now, the director tried to subdue him even by using the evil eye of the scale, but he stopped at the line of holding his wrist.

… No, the chairman did not hold his wrist. He gave up his hand. He was willing to give up at least one wrist in order to avoid being caught at a vital point and strike back at her at any time.

It was arrogant. To understand an opponent based only on their outward appearance, to belittle them without any grounds, and even mis-measure their capabilities. If this is not arrogance, what on earth should we call arrogance?

“… William.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Can I hear your opinion? From your point of view, what kind of person does that guy look like?”

As far as the president knows, there is no one better at grasping the essence of human beings than the dean of admissions.

Even though he was able to maintain his position as Director of Admissions at Nineveh for 20 years because he had such talent in the first place.

“From my point of view, that person seems to have a close relationship with the Duke of Pendragon.”

“… Duke Pendragon?”

The chairman frowned at the unexpected name, which he had never thought of before.

“Why is that name coming up? No, I hadn’t heard of a man of that age in the Pendragon family before that.”

“Yes, that’s why I was also quite long. If that person is really related to the Pendragon family, then that person’s existence is no different from a being that fell from the sky. However, after listening to the conversation between that person and the chairman, I was convinced. That person is definitely connected to the Pendragon family in some way.”

A voice full of confidence. It was evident that it was the kind of speculation that could not be easily uttered without a solid basis of its own.

“From the moderation of posture, the angular gait, the length of stride, vocalization, and the attitude towards others, there was nothing against etiquette. And it occurred to me that his manners are very similar to everything that makes up Little Princess Pendragon.”

“Little Princess Pendragon?”

The chairman frowned as he recalled the doll-like face of Little Princess Pendragon and Jin’s face without realizing it. Adding a little exaggeration, it seemed that the two had nothing in common except that they had eyes, nose and mouth.

Moreover, while the hair color of the one who inherited the blood of the Pendragon family is dark purple, isn’t his hair color black reminiscent of jet black?

“Of course, this is all speculation. However, it is certain that his formal demeanor is something of the kind that cannot be developed unless he is taught by a famous family.”

“… Hmm.”

I asked for advice to see if I could get some hints, but rather, there were a lot of points that I was wondering about.

As the dean of admissions said, the human named Jin was truly a human whose origins could not be identified, as if he had fallen from the sky.

‘Could he really be a descendant of the Seven Heroes?’

The Chairman had no intention of naively believing Jin’s words that he was a descendant of the Seven Heroes.

No matter how much the seven heroes’ teachings are presented as evidence, wouldn’t it be more strange to trust him in a situation where there is no physical evidence or witnesses to support his claim?

However, if his claim is truly false, why did he bother to enter Nineveh while pretending to be a descendant of the Seven Heroes?

If he had that level of skill, he would have been able to pass Nineveh’s entrance exam without incident. Why did he try to enter Nineveh by using such a prominent method?

… I don’t know. I really don’t know. No matter how hard I think about it, I can’t even guess why he wanted to enter Nineveh.

But if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that as the head of Nineveh’s board, and as the head of Count Edelstein’s family loyal to the empire, it’s impossible to let such a dangerous man loose within the empire.

That is why special admission was granted. It was to limit his range of action to Nineveh, and at the same time find out what his identity was and what he was hiding.

It didn’t matter if he really was a descendant of the Seven Heroes, or if he was related to the Duke of Pendragon, as the admissions director guessed. No, in that case it was even better.

Because by having such an excellent person enrolled in Nineveh, as a result, he was able to bring him into the arms of the empire.

“… I don’t like him.”

Even when I bounced the abacus back and forth in my head, I could clearly see that this was the best option, but the chairman said so in a gruff voice.

“Why? Even if that person has a reason for disqualification that I didn’t know about… ?”

“It’s nothing.”

The chairman pursed his lips and murmured.

“I don’t like it when they treat me as an old virgin who has never held a man’s wrist.”
