The word “voluntarily” was not something to be written lightly.
It was said that all the application forms would be collected and handed over to a Specter Master for review.
That person's specter possessed a very peculiar rule, which was supposedly able to verify the truth of the information filled out on the application forms.
If anyone forged their identity to fill out the form, they would be dragged out, and their end would certainly not be pretty.
“Teacher, I've filled it out.”
Zuo Lin'an wrote his final stroke and handed the application form over with a solemn expression.
Liu Gaomei casually took it.
“Alright, you can go back first. You'll get your answer tomorrow.”
“But as I said just now, there is a severe shortage of dungeon bosses right now, so your application will most likely go through. You can actually start preparing now.”
Zuo Lin'an was puzzled. “Preparing? What do I need to prepare for?”
Liu Gaomei glanced at him. “Packing your things and getting ready to go elsewhere for training classes, of course. Did you think Sin Hunter City is some kind of safe haven?”
“Every single person in Sin Hunter City is a death row convict, without exception!”
“Besides, do you know what you have to do to become a dungeon boss after arriving in Sin Hunter City?”
“Do you know how to survive inside Sin Hunter City?”
“Have you ever killed anyone?”
“Do you even know how to kill?”
“Right now, you don't know how to do anything. Therefore, you need special training for both theoretical knowledge and practical combat ability. Only after passing all the benchmarks will you be qualified to enter Sin Hunter City!”
“As for this application form, it only grants you the qualification to undergo training.”
“This training period is also a chance for people like you to change your minds. It's a screening process.”
“Oh, and let me make this clear beforehand. If you regret your decision and come back, you will have to repeat a year and take the college entrance exam next year!”
Zuo Lin'an nodded in realization. So that was how it worked. He had learned something new.
“Alright, Teacher. I understand.”
He had only known before that Sin Hunter City was a special place where ordinary people could transform into dungeon bosses, but he really didn't know the specifics of how to do it.
Although he had heard that it was dangerous and knew it was filled with death row convicts, he had never actually seen it himself, and he couldn't even find any information about Sin Hunter City online.
Even if he wanted to look it up, he had no way of doing so.
Therefore, even though he was somewhat mentally prepared, he wasn't particularly nervous.
Zuo Lin'an thought about this as he walked back to the classroom.
By the time he returned to his seat, the class bell rang.
Then, he felt someone poking his back with a pen.
Zuo Lin'an turned his head slightly and whispered, “What is it?”
Sitting behind him was his good buddy and best friend, Xu Youyou, who possessed a face so beautiful it was infuriating, but a personality that was incredibly cheeky.
Only someone with Zuo Lin'an's good temper could have tolerated him for so long.
“I saw you go to the office just now. What did you do? Did you get caught in a secret romance? Do you need my help?”
Zuo Lin'an's sharp eyes spotted the teacher coming in.
“Stop talking nonsense. I'll tell you after class.”
“Fine.”
With the college entrance exam drawing near, teachers rarely came to give actual lessons anymore.
For the most part, they were left to study on their own, with teachers occasionally coming in to go over test papers or emphasize important points of knowledge.
The moment class ended and the teacher left, Xu Youyou immediately pressed for answers.
“Hurry up, spill it! What were you doing?”
The previous period had been the last class of the afternoon. Most of the students in the classroom had already gone to the cafeteria for dinner, with only a scattered few still struggling with their homework.
Meanwhile, Zuo Lin'an began packing his things.
“Well, about that...”
When Xu Youyou saw him stuffing all his books and homework notebooks into his schoolbag, his expression changed drastically.
“Holy crap.”
“Don't tell me the pressure of the college entrance exam has broken you, and you're dropping out?”
“Or... are you waiting to take it next year?”
“Oh, man, does that mean you'll have to call me 'senior' from now on?”
“Come on, let's hear you say it. Call me 'Senior'.”
Zuo Lin'an's eye twitched. “No.”
Xu Youyou's eyes quickly went wide. “Wait! No!”
“You...”
He seemed to have realized something.
“Did you go to our homeroom teacher to ask for that application form?”
Zuo Lin'an didn't deny it when faced with Xu Youyou's questioning.
“Yes, the entry application form for Sin Hunter City. I've already filled it out and handed it to the teacher. He said I can pack my things now and go for training tomorrow.”
Without another word, Xu Youyou said, “You ungrateful son! Why didn't you tell me? You want to be a dungeon boss and you didn't even invite me? Are we even brothers anymore!”
Zuo Lin'an frowned. “You want to go to Sin Hunter City too?”
Xu Youyou nodded excitedly, his eyes practically glowing.
“That's right, I'm going too!”
“Of course, it's not just for fun. I just thought you might get lonely going by yourself, so I'm being kind enough to keep you company!”
