Dong, dong, dong!
"Come in."
Inside the office, Dunn, who was looking at a newspaper, looked up at the door and responded as he put down the newspaper.
Having received a response, Klein opened the door and walked into the office.
As he casually closed the door, he sat down opposite Dunn, his expression solemn with a hint of excitement, and said, "Captain, I feel that I have completely mastered the Seer potion."
"I want to submit a special application."
Dunn seemed to be slightly stunned, but he didn't show any surprise, obviously having already guessed that this would happen, just not expecting Klein to submit the special application so soon.
He hasn't even been a Seer for a month... Dunn couldn't help but think of the hints Lin Ruo, Favored of the Goddess, had given him about mastering potions when he was looking at Trissy's wanted notice, and how much faster his potion mastery had progressed after he tried to be a true Nightmare during this time.
Why exactly is the Church doing this... The doubts that had arisen before resurfaced in Dunn's mind, but he had no other thoughts.
He looked at Klein, stared into his eyes, and asked:
"Are you sure?"
Upon hearing this, Klein didn't hide his smile at all, and replied:
"I'm sure, Captain.
When you completely master the potion, you will have a special, wonderful feeling, undoubtedly confirming that you have completely mastered the potion."
"A special, wonderful feeling..." Listening to Klein's description, Dunn slowly frowned, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, Dunn continued to ask, "Did Favored agree?"
This time, because Lin Ruo was present, Dunn naturally didn't advise Klein to postpone his promotion for another year like in the original story, nor did he tell him not to be a bird that sticks its head out, but instead asked.
"This is also Lin Ruo's intention."
Klein nodded and replied.
Dunn didn't show any surprise upon hearing this either.
He then said:
"Go write the special application."
After a pause, he added, "Pay attention to your wording."
"Okay."
Although he had expected that the captain wouldn't object, Klein's mood naturally improved even more when he really got the approval, and his face was filled with a smile.
Leaving the captain's office, Klein first went to the clerical staff's room.
After greeting the people who had gradually arrived during this time, he sat down at an empty table and began to draft the special application.
Because he had already discussed with Lin Ruo yesterday how to write the special application, Klein naturally emphasized in the special application, as they had discussed, that he had quickly mastered the potion and obtained the qualifications for promotion because he had received guidance from Lin Ruo, Favored of the Goddess.
Because he already had a clear idea, Klein's draft was naturally written very quickly.
He quickly finished the first draft, then revised the wording and sentence structure.
After confirming that there were no problems, Klein used the typewriter in the room to print out the special application.
However, Klein didn't rush to submit the special application to Dunn.
Instead, he walked out of the clerical staff's office.
Just as he stepped into the hall, he saw Lin Ruo and Leonard seemingly chatting.
"Application written?" Lin Ruo saw Klein first and immediately said with a smile.
"Yes."
Klein nodded, raised the paper in his hand to Lin Ruo, and said, "But I plan to submit it after sharing my experience with everyone."
Lin Ruo was naturally not surprised by this.
Leonard, who was next to him, asked suspiciously, "Klein, what application is this?"
"A special application to advance to Sequence 8."
Klein replied without blinking.
"You digested it so quickly?
"It hasn't even been a month yet?
"Oh right, you said before that you had already digested most of it..." Although he had already expected it after hearing the two people's conversation, Leonard was still shocked at this moment and blurted out almost subconsciously.
Klein nodded directly and said, "Yes."
Because Lin Ruo was next to him, Klein was too embarrassed to persecute Leonard by using the words he had said before, as he did in the original story.
But he wasn't embarrassed, but Lin Ruo didn't have such emotions.
He just propped his chin with one hand and said in a serious manner, "Not surprising, is it?
"After all, Klein is the protagonist of the era, just like you!
"As the protagonist of the era, you always have to have something special, of course you can do things that others can't."
Leonard: ...
Hearing these words, the feeling of shame surged into Leonard's heart again, and so the famous dish of Braised Rabbit Head appeared again.
And Klein, who was next to him, felt a little awkward listening to this serious tone.
I suspect you're mocking me at the same time, but I don't have any evidence!
Lin Ruo then patted Leonard on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Leonard.
"As fellow protagonists of the era, I don't want you to still be loafing around at Sequence 8 when Klein advances to Sequence 7, so work hard to advance!"
Leonard's face flushed even redder, but a surge of motivation still welled up in his heart.
He suddenly thought of the dream he had before.
Although he still couldn't remember the content of the dream at all, the feeling of sadness and anger still made it difficult for him to forget, and inexplicably gave him a sense of urgency to improve his Sequence.
Perhaps... he should indeed consider submitting a special application.
It just so happens that Klein plans to share his experience with everyone, and I can use this as an excuse... But why would Old Man say that Lin Ruo knows Him but the Church's higher-ups don't?
Doubts arose in Leonard's heart.
He couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruo, but didn't open his mouth to ask.
Instead, he looked at Klein and said with a bright smile, "Since you want to share your experience with everyone, then what are you waiting for?
"Let's go now, everyone should already be here."
Klein naturally had no objections.
The two "protagonists of the era" went to the Nighthawks' recreation room in a flurry, and watching their backs, Lin Ruo couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"They really are full of energy..."
While sighing like this, Lin Ruo also thought of his gains this morning, and his mood also improved.
He also had to seize the time to collect the auxiliary materials for the Pyromaniac, and strive to complete the advancement before Klein advances to the Clown.
That wouldn't be too difficult, after all, this was just the auxiliary materials for the Sequence 7 potion formula.
If it were the main ingredients, it might be a little difficult, but the auxiliary materials—anyway, in the channels that Lin Ruo controlled, those things weren't too rare.
He just didn't know if this time, his advancement would still be as abnormal as last time.
...
At the same time, Klein, who had already finished sharing his experience with the Nighthawks, came to Dunn's office again and handed the written special application to him.
Dunn took it and first looked through it carefully, then put down the application and said:
"I will submit it to the Holy Cathedral as soon as possible.
Prepare to be examined, maybe this week, maybe next week."
