My Cell Prison

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Hell’s Students
 

“Hmm… an underground student? Cutting the line?”

Han Dong distinctly remembered that the person lined up behind Mia was a graduate of The Crusaders who used a long spear as a weapon.

Now, a student wearing a cloak and a skull mask, his well-built body barely visible, had suddenly cut the line, stepping in behind Mia for the combat test.

Due to the terrifying strength displayed by the instructor, the students waiting behind took a brief rest, disregarding the cutting of the line.

Mia’s combat test received an ‘A’ evaluation, but she wasn’t satisfied at all.

“I could’ve done much better, if I had used all my strength, I could’ve lasted for more than a minute…

Moreover, this level of testing is unfair.

This instructor is undoubtedly stronger than an elite knight.”

“Since it’s arranged by Knight Headquarters, there must be a reason behind it. Besides, you scored well, Mia. You should be able to join a good team in the upcoming knight elections.

We should leave after we see this underground student’s performance.”

“Ok… I’m not in a good mood today, you’ll need to spend more time with me later.”

“We’ll see.”

Han Dong closely observed this underground student.

After all, both Mr. Black White and Captain Marlon had specially warned Han Dong to pay attention to the special students from the underground…this high-difficulty test was an excellent opportunity to see the actual strength of the underground students.

Instrument detection: Double S.

Han Dong looked at the underground student with a strange expression, murmuring:

“This guy clearly saw Mia and the instructor’s bout. The instructor is already beyond the level of a knight, so a direct confrontation is impossible.

Rather than choosing to create some distance at the very start to buy more time… is he planning to forfeit?”

However, the graduate wearing the skull mask chose to bow to the dark-skinned instructor, signaling the start of the second phase of the test.

This hot-tempered instructor didn’t care about ‘junior matters’.

If he sees someone, he punches!

The student hidden under the cloak didn’t have time to dodge.

One punch landed! Thwack!

But the outcome was very different from what everyone had anticipated.

The student wasn’t sent flying… instead, he managed to stabilize himself after stepping back nine times.

The winds from the punch lifted the cloak concealing the student’s body, revealing a sculpted iron body, as if forged on a ‘Hell Iron Drill’.

“Could this be the ‘Hell Child’ that Captain Marlon mentioned… his physical structure seems similar to Togu’s.

However, this guy’s body tends more towards ‘metallic’, it’s no longer within the conventional scope of a body.

Also, pure demon blood flows within him.

Could the Hell Knight Corps actually produce students like this?”

Han Dong deliberately used the word ‘produce’.

This meant that such a student from the Hell Knight Corps must have undergone unknown body modifications, even his blood might have been replaced.

Of course, one’s body has to be strong enough to endure such a ‘metallic demon change’.

At this moment,

This student named Sean was tightly gripping the instructor’s fist, fully receiving the attack.

Due to the skull mask, his facial expressions couldn’t be seen clearly.

The next second, an incredible scene took place… despite blocking such a heavy blow, Sean chose to attack.

A side kick, precisely hitting the instructor’s cheek.

Thwack!

As the kick landed, sparks and steam flew out.

The massive force of the kick caused the instructor’s head to tilt slightly… which of course, enraged the instructor to some degree.

Dark gold energy flowed within the instructor’s body, power gathering.

With his punch, the surrounding space compressed, producing a loud hiss.

No way to evade, no way to defend.

One punch sent this Hell Child flying.

The metallic body emitted a sound similar to metal breaking.

Sean, who was sent flying like a bullet, directly broke through the reinforced wall of the testing room, rubble falling… his body embedded in the wall of the opposite corridor.

“This… is he going to die?”

Not only the graduates or even the data recording staff present, but even Han Dong was taken aback.

If he was hit by that punch, he probably would have to stay in bed for a week to recover.

However…

Sean, with a punch imprinted on his abdomen, didn’t lose consciousness. Instead, he slowly moved his body after ten seconds, breaking free from the wreckage of the wall.

Dipping his head low, he seemed to be dissatisfied with his performance.

Having put on a spare cloak, he turned and left the Knight Headquarters.

“Sean Naberis, second-phase duration: 27 seconds.

Notes: inflicted direct damage to the instructor.

Rating: S.”

Han Dong stared at the retreating underground student, about three seconds passed.

“Pfft…Hahaha!”

Unable to hold back, a wave of manic laughter echoed throughout the hall.

Because of the unexpected situation, Han Dong couldn’t suppress the manic laughter rising up, causing a long-suppressed bout of laughter to burst out.

Such laughter immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Almost everyone knew about the highly publicized “[Grand Betrayer]” event that happened six months ago… they had also heard countless rumors.

The rumors were that before Captain Marlon could arrive, and when tensions were high,

An apprentice knight, who was at the center of the event, disregarded the pressure from the Knight Captain, and the threat of death from a high-level demon, and in front of all the knights, let out a spout of manic laughter, openly mocking the high-level demon possessing the chairman of the association.

The manic laughter reverberating within the Knight Headquarters made many people show surprised expressions.

Realizing his outburst and potential reveal of his identity, Han Dong immediately clamped his hand on his cheek to suppress his laughter and quickly left with Mia…

“What’s wrong?”

Mia, while accepting Han Dong’s “[Laughing Madness]” characteristic, also found it to be strange.

“Nothing… I just feel that this round of knight elections will be interesting.

I didn’t expect that the underground students could reach such a level.”

Mia naturally understood what Han Dong meant, she too was dissatisfied with her performance that day, she bit her lip lightly and said, “I need to retreat to the witch’s secret room for a while.

But, you must accompany me later today! I messed up the test, I’m especially upset.”

“Hmm…I’ll train with you.”

…

This round of “[Knight Elections]” had the largest number of registered participants in history: 210.

Consequently, the rules of the knight election will undergo some changes to better evaluate each graduate’s special traits and potential, allowing more fresh blood into the Knight Corps.

One month after the registration ends, the curtain of the preliminaries will officially be raised.

All registered students will gather in the central lawn area of the National Royal Academy of Knights.

The Thirteen Knight Orders will each send a representative to lead the preliminary selection and scout some undiscovered outstanding graduates in advance.

The grandest knight election in history is about to commence!
