I! Cleaner!

"alright."

After looking up at the sun above his head, Director Sagittarius took out a small gong from somewhere and tapped it twice with his palm.

"The time is up, everyone, stop!"

Accompanied by the dull sound of gongs that penetrated deep into the soul, the more than forty cleaners who were intoxicated in the secret arts suddenly couldn't help but trembled. They could no longer maintain the continuous compression of their own 'inner' and withdrew from the state of concentration.

As the original state was broken, the cleaners were surprised to find that although the ordinary grain of sand in their hands looked the same as before, after overlapping with their own 'inner', it gave people a different feeling. Quite different, even vaguely unrecognizable.

"Now, it's time to verify your learning progress."

After frowning and looking at the sand in Leon's hand, considering his outstanding talent for co-selection from the Five Houses, Director Sagittarius hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and waved to the cleaner who was farthest away from him.

"Starting from you, everyone squeeze your sand, don't let go, come to me one by one."

"Ah okay!"

After hearing Director Sagittarius's instructions, the little female cleaner sitting at the back, pulled by Abigail, quickly got up and walked through the crowd, came to Director Sagittarius, and handed over the sand in her hand. But Director Sagittarius didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, he flicked it in the air in a masterly manner.

In the surprised eyes of all the cleaners, the tiny piece of sand swayed slightly, and then expanded rapidly, from the original size of a grain of rice to the size of a baby's fist, and then...

It’s gone.

"good."

Reaching out to pick up the large grain of sand in the hand of the female cleaner, and twisting it twice with two fingers, she felt that although it was very different from ordinary sand, it did not break away from the category of sand. Director Sagittarius's face , a satisfied smile suddenly emerged.

"As expected of the candidate recommended by Balto, your talent in secret arts is very outstanding. You can continue to come here to learn next time...Next time!"

After hearing what Director Sagittarius said, Abigail couldn't help biting her lip, then walked around from the farthest place from Lyon to Director Sagittarius and handed over the sand in her hand.

After being brushed by Director Sagittarius, the sand in her hand began to sway, but it only expanded to the size of a soybean grain, and then lost its stamina and stopped moving.

The appearance is maintained well, but the essence is not pure enough.

He reached out and pinched the soybean-sized piece of sand and rubbed it. He found that it felt slightly soft. Director Sagittarius couldn't help but shook his head and said to Abigail in a warm voice:

"Although you have some talents, they are much worse than that kid just now. And although your beliefs are firm, they are not entirely from yourself. Your compatibility with Sagittarius is average, so you can basically give up on the selection.

Of course, you have passed my assessment, so it is not a forced withdrawal this time. If you want to continue, I will not stop you. But according to my judgment, your achievements in this secret art are limited, so it is better to start early. give up. "

"I'll remember it, thank you for your advice."

After listening to the evaluation given by Director Sagittarius, Abigail had a look of regret in her eyes, then walked back to the back of the crowd and sat down next to the small female cleaner again.

Big fists are rated higher than big soybeans, so...meaning the bigger the sand is strengthened, the better?

Looking at Director Sagittarius, whose attitude had become much more amiable than when he first taught, the cleaners immediately relaxed a little, until the third cleaner pinched his own sand and handed it over with expectation. In front of the Sagittarius director...

"Your existence is simply a blasphemy against the archer's secret technique."

Looking at the large granite in the hands of the third cleaner, which expanded to the size of a human head after showing its "essence", Director Sagittarius couldn't help but complained with disgust:

"What did I tell you before? The prerequisite for learning this secret technique is to strengthen the original characteristics of the sand without destroying the structure! Come and tell me! What is the relationship between the thing you are holding in your hand and the sand? What does it matter?"

"I……"

"Okay, I won't say any more. After everyone has finished their assessment, you remember to go to Director Cancer and ask him to clear your memory of the secret technique."

"ah?"

"Ah what? I'm afraid you'll kill yourself!"

Under the slightly reluctant eyes of all the cleaners, Director Sagittarius explained with a headache on his face:

"The essence of the archer's secret technique is very simple. It is to compress one's 'inner' and overlap it with abnormal objects to complete the strengthening of the target abnormal object. However, doing so is also tantamount to completely opening up to the target and giving up on oneself. protection.

Fortunately, I was extra careful and didn't ask you to come up and practice with abnormal objects. Instead, I chose the most ordinary sand. For you, the sand is small enough. Even if your inner strength is not strong enough, the impact will be limited.

If you replace it with anomalies that are powerful enough 'inside', or even anomalous objects that have self-awareness, as a result of applying secret techniques to them, they might become monsters combined with the anomaly, and even be affected by the anomaly in turn. Slavery of things! "

After talking about the dangers of the [Abnormal Strengthening] secret technique, Director Sagittarius grabbed the "granite" and shook it hard. After shaking, the "grained" granite shrank slightly, and the color also turned back toward the sand. , but it barely shrunk down to the size of a fist, and could no longer shrink back.

"See? You can't control your 'inner self' at all. The structure of this grain of sand has been completely changed. If you use secret techniques on a target whose 'inner self' is stronger than yours, this stone will be your fate!"

Throwing the fist-sized sand back to the pale third cleaner, and waving his hand to drive him away, Director Sagittarius warned with an extremely serious expression:

"Remember this! Later, anyone who shows sand that is too different from the original sand like him is not allowed to leave on their own. Go to Director Cancer and completely erase the memory of today!

Don't think I'm harsh. The reason I ask this is because I'm afraid that you will practice secret techniques privately and finally... You'll get yourself killed if you're not careful! Every few generations in the past, cleaners would die on this. I don't want you to repeat the same mistake! "

After repeatedly emphasizing that the cleaners must not experiment with the secret technique in private, Director Sagittarius looked at Leon, who was sitting opposite him, and asked:

"Next, you come... give me your sand!"

"Uh..."

After hearing Director Sagittarius's request, feeling the "itching" sand in his hand, Leon couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then while handing the sand over, he whispered:

"Sir Sagittarius, my sand may be different from theirs, please be a little careful."

Let me be careful?

After hearing Leon's words, Director Sagittarius couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

What's there to be careful about with a grain of sand? Even if you learn it outrageously, it's nothing more than making the sand bigger. As a director, am I still afraid of being hit by sand?

"Okay, bring it here first!"

Without paying much attention to Leon's reminder, Director Sagittarius stretched out his hand with a stern face, ready to see how well Leon had learned the secret technique.

However, just as Director Sagittarius stretched out his hand, a huge black dog with three heads jumped up from Leon's palm and bit his calf!
