"Examinee Karen Baghdadi, please note: your assessnt will begin in three minutes. Please prepare now!"
In the crowd, a man with a crew cut dressed in the Agency's Combat Suit inhaled deeply, his expression sowhat nervous upon hearing his na.
After placing the Exorcism gear, like the shotgun provided by the Agency, into temporary storage, he imdiately took out his prepared Exorcism toolkit and carefully checked it several tis.
With everything confird, he forced a smile at the friend beside him who was cheering him on, trying to calm his racing heart.
Sitting in the car, Chu Feng was looking down at the Exorcist Promotion Assessnt information sheet in his hand.
Na: Karen Baghdadi
Gender: Male
Exorcist Level: Fourth Level
Spiritual Energy Value (Latest): 73
Eligibility for Promotion Assessnt: Yes
After glancing at the ti, Chu Feng opened the car door and stepped out.
"Perform well; it's not difficult!"
Slapping the crew-cut man's shoulder, Chu Feng's calm words seed to carry a magical power, instantly easing the man's tension.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu Feng!"
"Mm, go on in. It's ti!"
No sooner had Chu Feng finished speaking than the announcent that the assessnt was beginning blared from the onsite speakers.
Exhaling slowly, Karen steadied himself, picked up his toolkit, and carefully walked into the villa's courtyard.
The entire villa was tightly enveloped by a massive Spirit Trapping Formation, ensuring that the Evil Spirits used for the assessnt wouldn't escape.
Although with so many Exorcists present, any Evil Spirit that appeared might not survive a second.
However, the Evil Spirits used for assessnts are ticulously selected to ensure their strengths don't differ too greatly, so their numbers are limited.
They couldn't just be killed off carelessly.
Karen, who entered the villa's courtyard, was relatively experienced in Exorcism and had prepared thoroughly.
Instead of heading straight into the villa, he stood still in the center of the courtyard and took out a crystal artifact resembling a wind chi from his Exorcism toolkit.
Nine diamond-shaped Crystals were tied with fine cords to a round redwood disc, arranged in three layers: four on the outside, four in the middle, and one at the center.
Karen held the redwood disc, his Spiritual Power flowing through the disc's fine cords to connect with the nine Crystals.
The Crystals, which had been swaying slightly with Karen's movents and the gentle breeze, suddenly stilled.
The next second, the nine Crystals began to revolve around the redwood disc, which served as the center, spinning like a Ferris wheel. The Crystals also faintly twinkled with fluorescent light.
Karen seed to have anticipated this, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
After a dozen seconds or so, the spinning Crystals abruptly stopped.
"Found it!"
With Karen's low exclamation, one Crystal quietly turned pitch black.
Outside the villa, Chu Feng, witnessing this, nodded slightly. Although a bit slow, the little gadget he made can indeed roughly locate the Evil Spirit's position.
Locating an Evil Spirit is a crucial part of an Exorcist's assessnt.
Even if Exorcists participating in the assessnt knew the Bizarre was within this area, they still had to find its approximate location themselves. Otherwise, the assessnt would be a failure.
After all, during an actual Exorcism, no one tells you precisely where the Bizarre is.
Perhaps it's right above your head?
Once confird that the Evil Spirit was inside the villa, the next steps were straightforward.
The simple Spirit Trapping Formation Chu Feng had once used at Mark's House reappeared. An Array and a few Crystals successively appeared at the villa's front door, back door, and garage entrance.
As the Arrays linked, a thin barrier blinked into existence, instantly enclosing the villa.
The Bizarre was trapped. A direct confrontation with the Evil Spirit would naturally follow.
Wearing a necklace of over a dozen Crystals, a dagger inscribed with Mystic Runes in hand, and copper knuckles slipped on, Karen finally entered the villa.
His protective asures are good... Hmm, he really cherishes his life! It's just that his offensive options are a bit lacking. Even though the Agency's exorcism shotgun can't be used, the many exorcism Formations developed by the Agency aren't just for decoration! This was another one fixated on lee combat. He probably had soone else make that wind chi-like device.
A few minutes after Karen entered the villa, his roar suddenly echoed, accompanied by the sowhat piercing shriek of an Evil Spirit.
The ceaseless din of battle—CLANGING and BANGING—filled the air, but the Exorcists watching from outside seed unfazed, their expressions calm.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that silence returned to the villa.
With a SQUEAK, the villa's main door opened, and Karen erged holding a handful of grayish-white ashes.
Seeing his sowhat tattered clothes, the Exorcists present didn't mock him; instead, they all burst into excited applause.
The first participant in this promotion assessnt had successfully advanced, setting a good precedent!
"Congratulations to Mr. Karen Baghdadi on successfully passing the Agency's Exorcist promotion assessnt and officially becoming a Fifth-Level Exorcist!"
As the Agency staff mber's voice ca through the speakers, the applause from those present grew even louder.
"Now, the second participant in the promotion assessnt, please prepare. The assessnt will begin in ten minutes!"
While the others were visibly excited, the Agency staff were bustling about.
After hastily cleaning the damaged areas inside the villa, replacing so doors and broken furniture, a Fifth-Level Exorcist holding a golden urn entered the villa.
"The second assessnt, now begins."
After the Fifth-Level Exorcist, now empty-handed, withdrew from the villa, the second assessnt was imdiately announced.
More than ten minutes later, news of another successful promotion thrilled the Exorcists present even more.
They kept muttering to themselves, Looks like today really is a lucky day.
"The third assessnt, now begins..."
Looking at the third Exorcist Promotion Assessnt information sheet in his hand, Chu Feng's brow furrowed.
Na: lulan Gross
Gender: Female
Exorcist Level: Fourth Level
Spiritual Energy Value (Latest): 50
Eligibility for Promotion Assessnt: Yes
She barely ets the promotion standard?
Watching the green-haired woman with a short haircut walk confidently towards the villa courtyard, head held high, Chu Feng stood up from his seat.
Looks like my role as a safety officer is about to be needed!
Indeed, the outco was as Chu Feng had expected.
This woman, lulan, was inexperienced and unprofessional, perhaps even a bit arrogant.
Her only saving grace was that her equipnt was reasonably complete.
Holding a Crystal Ball brimming with Spiritual Power, she located the Evil Spirit. Then, without any preparation, she walked straight through the villa's main entrance holding a cross.
