Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?



Several minutes later, the entire cornfield was burned like a massive glazed cookie. 

It reeked of sulfur, the char was so unbearable, and the ground was also very hard. 

During this period, Dorian and the others not only destroyed the gates but also reversed the flow of demonic energy around the place too. 

The gateway in itself was sort of like a vacuum machine that liked to draw in any evil notifies close to it.

Why? Because it had a faintly distinctive scent of the abyss only they could smell.

That scent reminded them of home and kept most of them close by.

Thus, this town, which seems honest, has been long attacked by evil entities for thousands of years.

It's just that none of these creatures have gone so Berserk like those tonight.

Perhaps because the gates were closed and they felt it would be a long time before any of their big bosses returned, many creatures across the world have started acting more and more radical, not caring about exposing themselves at all.

Heh.

They were thrilled to torment their victims and play the part of the most powerful.

Hey, it's not every day one gets the opportunity to play king.

Some humans even feel they are the strongest beings in all existence, which if heard by the truly strong could lead them to instant death.

But so what?

The strong weren't here now, so it's them, the weak creatures who were left here to fill in those shoes, no?

Following that, Dorian and his group of course exercised and extinguished everything, with the additional help of the crystals they brought. 

Vmmm!

The air within the battlefield was finally clean, and the invisible wall was also brought down, but things didn't stop there. 

For the next couple of days, Dorian and the others aren't time inspecting every nuke and cranny within the town, cleansing and uprooting any demonic essence left behind. 

Only then did the many townspeople breathe heavily from relief. 

Good God! 

They didn't know how to sleep in their homes knowing it hadn't even been inspected yet. 

Dorian and his group spent 5 days there, and the people also gave themselves 5 days of holidays, with no one having the mind to go to work, talk less of allowing their children to go to school. 

The worst were the prisoners who hurriedly rushed back to their cells after inspection.

It was amazing that the cell doors had now been destroyed but no one thought of stepping out.

When Macy came over to tell some of them about them getting a transfer to another prom, they cursed and protested with all their might hugging the bars and refusing to leave!

What the hell? Those other prisons haven't been inspected yet.

So what if they hear there and meet even more deadly creatures?

Say no more! They weren't leaving and that was that!

~Bam!

Macy and many officers shut the vehicle doors, wiping their sweat after the fierce wrestling match with the transferred prisoners who cried and begged them with every fiber of their being.

Well, even they, police officers, felt guilty seeing these people like this.

But what can they do? Their little town didn't have the right facility to hold prisoners for long. 

In general, most prisoners in their towns can only stay here for 6 months max before getting transferred to where they will truly serve their sentences.

Just think of this place as a temporary holding place for them. 

It was impossible to have them stay for long. So what do you expect them to do?

(-_-)

After the whole fiasco, life must go on, even if they were too scared to face it. 

Well, the officers felt they too were bullies, especially after seeing the red swollen eyes of the prisoners who used to be very fierce with them.

It almost seemed as though they stole candy from these prisoners causing them to cry. 

'Alas...' Officer Macy shook her head wryly. 

'It will take a while for everyone to adjust.' 

Ahh- 

She looked at the time and exclaimed loudly. "Everyone hurry up! We have to see our guests out!"

Oh No! The Grandmaster's flight is in 3 hours. The least they could do was send off their saviors in grand style.

As for the bill, well... the Grandmaster had already given the list to them after the big battle.

Now all that was left was for them to write their reports and attach them as files to send to a special decision. 

That was Macy's understanding of the matter, since from an officer's point of view, it would make no sense to cause public panic.

Why, just a while ago, a group of live streamers went missing and the world seemed to be plunged in chaos, with everyone doubting police officers and military forces across the world.

Don't underestimate the power of public opinion. 

Should such a matter get out to the public, this place might turn into a doomsday era faster than anyone can imagine. 

That's why even with reports such as these she wouldn't dare send them through the regular channels they did lest someone gets careless and accidentally reveals the info.

Macy and everyone felt they should be careful, but Dorian didn't care at all whether they wanted to keep it private or hidden.

All he cares about now was ensuring the academy got its due payment.

To save the world requires money, lots and lots of money.

He wasn't a money-loving person, but he had to admit that with money getting resources would be easier than without.

As a person who hated doing things half-heartedly, he would hate for money to be the reason why they lost the war. 

Losing the war means he failed, and he, Dorian, was never one to lose!

----

Time flew in a flash, as many people, including Gregory and Ross's families, chose to also go to the airport to see the Grandmaster off. 

Eh? 

What is going on? 

The airport visitors, whether it was those arriving or those entering the airport from other areas, were taken aback by the big show of people gathering about to see Dorian and his team off.

"Who are they? Are they celebrities?"

"Hey, that young man looks dashing. Maybe he is the true celebrity while the others are his security guards."

"Nonsense! Can't you see they are all wearing uniforms? Could it be they are from some special school of elites?"

Many were confused and curious, wishing to ask the townsfolk why they came over to see these people off but got no definite answers.

The only thing they knew was that these people were their saviors but no one said how they were saved and what they were saved from.

Kidnappers? Terrorist? Mass Posioners?... Hello? Can anyone talk to them?

(-_-)

Gregory and Ross's eyes flashed with awe, suddenly finding the one they call Grandmaster, pause and walk towards them.

Very cleanly, he grabbed their wrists and a strange light flashed in his eyes, though no one was quick enough to catch it. 

"Little ones... I'll be waiting for you, should you choose to come." 

1, 2, 3... 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!~

The 2 screamed like fangirls, swearing never to wash their hands again. 

What does he mean? What did this promise mean? 

Hahahahahaha~

sure enough, they felt this was their calling and destiny, and must become Monster catchers no matter what.

Sure, it's scary. But after seeing Dorian and the others' many operations, their fear was quick to vanish.

Many disciples also said good words to them before leaving.

"Kid, you're indeed a blessed one. The grandmaster hardly says anything about anyone. To be recognized for your potential by the Grandmaster means your future is truly bright. In a few months, if you do decide, go to this address..."

Butler Sheng who was the last to speak to them, tapped their foreheads and the 2 had the Tian household address engraved in their minds. 

F***!

The 2 looked at each other with widened eyes, before bobbing their heads like chickens. 

Of course, no one was forcing them to go, but they felt it would be a loss to be recognized and not go.

So no matter how their parents protested in the upcoming months, these 2 shook their heads refusing to become anything else. 

It was only after hearing that Officer Macy would be heading with them that their parents decided to let their children go.

Officer Macy's points were valid. 

It was better to allow these children to know how to protect themselves than let them be defenseless. 

What's more, these children would be going to a special elite school run by the government.

This means they will be treated with high honor and prestige wherever they go. 

What's more, they will also come over to visit their parents from time to time too.

Just think of it as sending the children to boarding school.

What's more as parents, was it truly right for them to allow the child's innate gifts to go to waste? 

From a young age till now, Gregory and Ross have always wanted to join the army and protect their country.

This meant they have always had such a calling resonating within them. 

Although it was hard for parents to allow their children to join the army or fight for their country, it was an honorable thing that shouldn't be stopped by parents.

.

Seeing the group of Academy people leaving, Gregory and Ross clenched their fists hard, determined to see the Grandmaster in a few months!

"Mom/dad! You can't stop me! Our son is going to be a Monster Catcher!"
