Chapter 23: Applying for the Exorcist Team
“Uh…”
Su Jiu glanced at the muscular old adventurer, her mouth twitched, but she was quite happy knowing she could enter the exorcist team with her draw-and-slash technique.
As expected, high burst output was always in demand.
It’s no wonder, a high burst output role could instantly kill monsters that surpassed their strength after their teammates provided crowd control, greatly reducing the difficulty of the whole team hunting monsters!
At that time, not only would E Huo be able to eat his fill, but she could also quickly break through to the Intermediate Stage Warrior with various resources.
“But I was too high-profile last night, the internet is full of me today. I can’t use ice attributes anymore, otherwise, it won’t be good to be targeted. And my pretty little face is too young…” Su Jiu made up her mind and quickly went to buy a white fox mask nearby.
Disguise wasn’t difficult for Su Jiu. She just needed to put on a mask and a long black hooded cloak.
She put on the hood, revealing a masked foxy face. Only a pair of plump, white, slender legs were exposed, subtly indicating she was a girl.
Her entire aura became mysterious!
She found the exorcist team and saw the long line of people queuing, she couldn’t help but sigh.
This was much more intense than the group of “evil wolves” rushing for food at school in the afternoon.
…
“Too weak, these people are probably no different from ordinary people when facing monsters…”
Behind the recruitment desk, a hot-tempered woman with bandages still wrapped around her head said coldly. As she spoke, she seemed to get angrier, and she stood up, slamming heavily on the table: “No wonder our Adventurer’s Guild can’t compare to the Dragon Hunter. Look at them, one person killed an entire wolf pack… We’re still playing house here with these riff-raff!”
“Captain, don’t be anxious. With so many people applying, we’re bound to find a gem among the rough.”
A man wearing a knit cap with slightly tanned skin shrugged: “As for killing the wolf pack, I heard that the Frost Sword Warrior directly killed the wolf pack while in the Warrior Class. Such a person is probably a treasure of the Dragon Hunter. It’s normal that we can’t compare.”
“Let’s not talk about comparing with the talented individuals of the Dragon Hunter, but we shouldn’t be too far behind, right? Look at the quality of applicants today! They’ve only just mastered the Warrior Class’s ‘Mighty Fist’ and haven’t even reached minor completion, yet they’re applying.” The hot-tempered woman became more and more displeased as she spoke, and fire actually began to emanate from her body, not metaphorically, but literally burning!
In the past few days, monsters had suddenly attacked residential areas of ordinary people at night. Not only could their city’s exorcist team not catch them, but they had also repeatedly escaped due to insufficient firepower. When the higher-ups found out, they scolded them severely.
It would have been fine if it ended there, but last night, a video and images titled “Is this the Dragon Hunter? So much stronger than other organizations” swept across the entire Dragon Country’s internet.
It showed a mysterious female Dragon Hunter who, with a single dagger, instantly annihilated a wolf pack, minimizing the casualties of over fifty students, with only a few deaths.
Netizens affectionately nicknamed her “Frost Sword Warrior.”
An awkward comparison then arose. Their region’s Adventurer’s Guild had issued a strict order: there was a great reward for killing troublemaking monsters, but if they failed to kill them, all of them would go home to raise pigs.
“Sister Liu, actually, this one is not bad. B-class Bloodline Azure Python, Intermediate Warrior, masters the ‘Rift Mountain Split’ martial skill, which can effectively shatter the monster’s armor.”
Seeing the seemingly delicate girl standing behind her place her hands on the hot-tempered woman’s shoulders, she said softly.
“Shattering armor is enough, do I need others for that? What we lack is instantaneous burst damage, just like that Frost Sword Warrior.”
The youth wearing a shirt with long hair, looking very elegant, said.
“These are all considerations for selection, I haven’t seen anyone satisfactory yet.” Sister Liu sighed softly.
“How about Er Gou? This guy is quite clever. Actually, truly powerful warriors generally have their own fixed small teams and rarely wander around here.” The youth with flowing hair pushed aside a strand of hair from his forehead and continued:
“In my opinion, let’s go with Er Gou. His ‘Instant Flash Step’ can catch up to that monster. Although the damage is a bit low, it can also provide us with time to kill it.”
Sister Liu shook her head helplessly, “It looks like this is the only option.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sweet-looking recruitment girl rushed over in a hurry and bumped straight into Sister Liu’s chest, causing a wave of undulations.
“Ah… Ah, I’m sorry.” The recruitment girl’s cheeks turned completely red, and she hastily said, “There… There’s a warrior who has mastered a martial skill to ‘perfect’ proficiency applying to join our demon-extermination team.”
“Is that true??” Sister Liu immediately perked up, her eyes shining as she looked towards the long recruitment line.
The other team members’ eyes were also shining brightly.
Perfect proficiency!
This meant that the skill the applicant possessed contained immense damage.
Their exorcist team was indeed more sought after than other adventurer teams, but that didn’t mean those with perfect proficiency in martial skills were willing to enlist.
For a long time, those with high proficiency in such martial skills were the most valued guests in all adventurer teams. Even some more elite teams didn’t mind bringing along a recently graduated college student with high proficiency.
Perhaps this was the benefit of diligence?
Most such individuals were already reserved and easily absorbed by major families and organizations. The chance of finding a “wild” one was extremely small!!
They also had their pride and wouldn’t come to do jobs like adventurers, licking blood from the tip of a blade. Wouldn’t it be better to go fight for the Dragon Hunter? If they wanted stable development, there was the Law Enforcement Hall.
“Is it that person?” Sister Liu was getting impatient. She directly walked out from backstage.
“Yes… Yes, Sister Liu, are you going to interview them personally?” the recruitment girl stammered.
“Interview… What interview?” Sister Liu turned her head with a puzzled expression.
The recruitment girl and the other team members were even more confused. If the captain wasn’t going to interview them personally, why was she going over there?
At this moment, Sister Liu had already walked to the recruitment desk. She glanced at Su Jiu, who was sitting obediently wearing a fox mask, and asked, “You have a martial skill with perfect proficiency, and that skill has instantaneous burst potential? I’ll have the people at the Warrior Class test board clear the area and let you try.”
“No need.”
Su Jiu said coolly occasionally, glanced at Sister Liu, then reached behind her and pulled out a dagger. She lightly swung it towards a metal skill test board that was empty not far away.
“That’s a War General Level…” Sister Liu was about to say something.
Instantly, a sword qi carrying black flames transformed into a black and red stream of light.
“Bang!”
It struck the board instantly. The board, used for testing War General Level practitioners, revealed a shallow white scratch.
At this moment, Sister Liu’s expression was not one of surprise, but of shock. This strength was too much, wasn’t it? It was almost as good as that Frost Sword Warrior’s!
“You guys… you don’t need to queue anymore, we’ve found someone!” However, she wasn’t a procrastinator, so she immediately shouted towards the long queue.
With this shout, the people in the long queue became displeased.
“WTF, why? We haven’t even been interviewed yet?”
“Yeah, I’m very strong, I can use my martial skill to output 3000 pounds of force instantly.”
“Are you kidding me? Hiring exorcists and there’s still favoritism, the world is truly unfair. I don’t want to stay in the wilderness!”
A group of people grumbled incessantly, showing how much expectation they had for this position.
“If you can also leave a mark on that board, this captain will also make an exception,” Sister Liu didn’t want to reason with these people at all. She pointed at the test board earlier and shouted coldly.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over there and was stunned.
“War General Level test board?? Hello, goodbye.”
“Are you serious? Someone this powerful who can leave marks on a War General Level board is also here snatching our jobs, we can’t live anymore!!”
“Forget it, War General Level burst output, then what’s the point of an interview, let’s go look elsewhere.”
As soon as they saw the War General Level board, everyone drooped their heads like beaten roosters.
There was no choice. The other party could even scratch the War General Level board, so these people had no interest in competing at all.
Su Jiu turned her head and saw the long queuing line scatter. She secretly thought: Indeed, this world truly respects strength.
