My Cell Prison

Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Visitor
 

Following Han Dong’s battle with the Death God, the standard of the [Knight Tournament] had been raised to its peak, setting the Colosseum ablaze with fervor.

During the penultimate round of the competition,

A graduate student accomplished victory once again.

The winner was also a student from the Underground area, whose attribute leaned towards the ‘Undying’ … creating the semi-final’s longest competition record- 3 hours and 49 minutes.

Emphatically exhausting the knight’s endurance to achieve victory.

This alternative method of triumph captured the attention of many in the audience … as his figure, concealed in a specially made cloak that’s nearly impossible to break, obscured his real face.

This drew attention to three students from the Underground area strictly.

The final round of the semi-finals.

Finally, it was Mia’s turn to perform against the Hell Knight Corps, who were in charge of the assessment.

Having known beforehand that Mia was the top witch student, the Hell Knight Corps assigned an elite Hell Knight with over a decade of combat experience to relentlessly press down on Mia as soon as the match began.

Absolute destruction and brute force oppression dominated Mia throughout the fight.

“The student from the Mysterious Department possesses such swordsmanship and body technique?”

After Mia dodged or parried numerous fierce attacks, the Hell Knight dual-wielding axes gradually realized that the situation was not as simple as he had imagined, and he needed to seriously confront this graduate student.

At the same time, Mia’s ‘Spider Curse’ demonstrated in the match did not escape the eyes of the [Doomsday Knight Brigade].

In the end, due to the Hell Knight detonating his own Hell Mark, the spider threads that Mia had spread over the arena were instantly burned up. Taking advantage of the explosion, he applied so much pressure that Mia had no chance to respond, and ultimately kicked her off the stage.

The total time taken was thirty-one minutes.

It took significantly longer than expected for Marlon and Otto, the leader and vice-leader of the Hell Knight Corps.

The fact that Mia could battle an elite knight head-on for such a long time implies that she possesses extensive combat experience.

“Leader… This female student possesses a spider attribute combined with the [Hell Spider Demon], which might lead to unexpected developments.

Moreover, she is very proficient in herbology… During the recent battle, she used quick herbal remedies more than ten times.

If we can recruit her into our team and foster her growth, she might become a uniquely characteristic platoon leader.”

Meanwhile,

The Hell Knight Tulaba Congo, who was in charge of testing Mia’s ability, returned.

This African knight who seemed to have a robust physique appeared unscathed from the battle.

Currently in the Knight Regiment, as he slowly removed his armor, an injury on his abdomen that constantly emitted a dark purple aura was revealed. The wound was hard to heal… but this was not the most serious issue.

The real danger was a pair of deep purple tooth holes positioned on the knight’s neck.

A series of strange curse scriptures had formed around the tooth holes.

With the curse as the core, it could trigger other injuries on the knight’s body, disabling self-healing abilities, eating away at his body every second.

“Her strength is impressive… Her swordsmanship is in no way inferior to the Crusaders’ graduates of the same level.

Moreover, her Fate Weapon perfectly complements her attribute, and when used in tandem, the moves are quite cunning.

Her Talent Tree also seems very unique, belonging to the Spider Curse Series… her potential seems limitless.”

While speaking, the African knight gently touched the tooth holes on the side of his neck due to pain.

A bit of thick fluid seeped out from the inside, requiring medical treatment.

“Otto, keep an eye on this female student as well. If possible, recruit her.”

“Yes!”

…

Mia, having been defeated, was naturally despondent. She even felt so embarrassed that she was somewhat reluctant to return to her team.

However, what awaited her was an embrace from Han Dong.

For the first time, the man that Mia admired had taken the initiative.

This unexpected behavior left Mia blushing, and due to her blood rushing, her recently stitched wounds reopened… She immediately fainted due to weakness and fell into Han Dong’s arms.

“You did very well…”

Han Dong gave Mia a high assessment for this battle, as her opponent was no ordinary knight.

Mia’s several ‘Stealth Attacks’ were quite bizarre. If the opponent were an average defense knight, Mia would inevitably win.

At this point.

The semi-finals were all concluded.

Since several matches severely exceeded the time limit, the time has already arrived in the evening, and the schedule of the knight selection will be extended appropriately.

Observer Alonso announced, “Due to time and a few scoring disputes, the finals will be postponed till the next day. The list of the top ten advancing to the finals will then be announced.

All participating graduates are to remain in the rest area of the Colosseum.

There will be staff to take you to different resting rooms.

No one is allowed to leave the Colosseum before the end of the conference.

Also, students are absolutely prohibited from having direct contact with anyone from the Knight Regiment. If discovered, graduation qualifications may be canceled depending on the severity.”

The unexpected rest time was good news for some students who had been severely injured or exhausted in the semi-finals.

Because of Abe’s special status, the five of them were earmarked a rather spacious rest room.

For sleeping, everyone just lay on the floor, or sleep on the bench… under such unique circumstances, one can’t ask for too much.

…

In the rest room.

Because of the comfort Han Dong just gave her, she was holding Han Dong’s arm the whole time, unwilling to leave even for a moment.

Just as everyone was discussing the day’s battles.

Knock knock knock…

There was a knock at the door.

“Strict rules prohibit the Knight Regiment from contacting students to avoid early poaching… Is it some other graduate who has come to the door?”

As Abe opened the door.

He quickly lowered his head, with a shocked but as calm a face as possible, addressing respectfully, “Councilor Sir.”

Yes.

Standing at the door was a unique Councilor dressed in official attire (a white silk coat with arbitrator patterns, accompanied by a spacious hood with dark gold trim.)

Under the hood was a middle-aged man with weird patterns painted on his bald head, his pupils were as if he had cataracts, completely white.

“Valen. Han Dong, come with me…”

“Okay!”

Han Dong didn’t have any hesitation or worry.

Han Dong can be said to have performed perfectly in today’s game, and he did not expose any extraterritorial abilities … This private summon by the councilor may be due to some other matter.

With Han Dong setting foot outside the rest room.

He immediately found himself in a completely sealed ‘interrogation room’.

“Spatial ability?”

“Please sit.”

Han Dong and the councilor sat on opposite sides of the iron table in the center of the interrogation room.

A document was handed over by the councilor.

“The “Council” is very interested in your ‘thinking ability’. I’ve come to ask for your personal opinion on behalf of the Council.

Do you have any intention of joining the “Council”?

This won’t affect your normal entry into the Knight Regiment, and you’ll be treated as a councilor candidate, receiving certain candidate privileges during your growth.

As for what a candidate should do, what they should obey, and what they should give to the Holy City, I can only tell you in detail after you agree and sign the contract.”

The document handed to Han Dong was the “Councilor Candidate Cultivation Relevant Agreement and Management Method”.
