A skinny old man walked through, his hair and beard white. He wore a wrinkled gray robe with straw sandals on his feet and carried a teapot in one hand, with steam still rising from the spout.
“You did the needling?” he asked in a hoarse voice that sounded like sandpaper scraping wood.
Noelle nodded.
Mark Shelton shoved the teapot he was holding into the hands of the person beside him and hurried over to Noelle in three quick steps. He bent down and stared at the needles in her hand for a long while before lifting his head to stare at her face just as long.
“You know needle therapy?” he asked.
Noelle paused briefly. “A little.”
“A little?” Mark’s voice shot upward, his beard nearly flying with it. “He’s suffering from aconitine poisoning. First needle steadies the pulse, second draws out the poison, and third revives the system. You call that a little?”
He snatched the teapot back from the person beside him, took a sip, and lowered it again. He looked Noelle up and down several times before finally nodding like he’d reached some major decision.
“Not bad,” he said. “Stay.”
The examiner froze. “Mr. Shelton, the testing isn’t even-”
“Mr. Shelton!” Seeing things going wrong, Shirley immediately lifted her skirts and rushed over, plastering on a flattering smile while glaring at Noelle. “Please listen to me. This wornan’s identity is unclear, and her background’s suspicious. How can you casually accept someone like her into the Medicine Department? Besides, I’m from the Duncans. The Duncans and the Nightfall Circle have always been close. I-”
“The Duncans?” Mark glanced at her like he was looking at a buzzing fly and impatiently waved his hand. Who cares if you re from the Duncans? Am I supposed to listen to you now?”
Shirley’s face instantly turned the color of liver, all her remaining words getting stuck in her throat
“If I say she stays, then she stays.” Mark glared at the examiner before turning back toward Noelle the winkles an his face bunching together into a giant smile. “Young lady, what’s your name?”
“Kain.”
“Ms. Kain, starting today, you belong to the Medicine Department ” He slapped her shoulder hard enough to make her sway slightly. “Come find me later. We can have coffee together”
After saying that, he picked up his teapot, hummed a little tune, and shuffled away leisurely, leaving an entire crowd frozen behind
him.
Shirley’s face looked awful, her nails digging so deeply into her palms that they nearly drew blood but the examiner ultimately didn’t dare disobey Mark, the deputy head of department With a dark expression, he handed Noelle the wooden laken symbolizing passage into the department

The people watching the whole scene looked at Noelle with obvious envy and awe.
They were seriously jealous. She’d gotten into the Medicine Department just like that.
Unlike them, who still had to face the third trial.
Only after passing the third round would it be decided whether they could officially stay.
This girl was practically cheating at life.

Meanwhile, the Guard Department’s testing grounds had been set up beside the cliffs.
A massive crowd packed the area shoulder to shoulder, so tight it was almost impossible to move through.
Loud booming impacts constantly rang from inside, along with cheers and shocked screams from spectators.
Lucas and Jasper stood outside the crowd waiting.
“How’s it not our turn yet?” Lucas stood on tiptoe with his neck stretched out like a goose while desperately trying to see inside. “How long is this gonna take? I swear I just heard somebody’s bones snap.”
“What’s the rush?” Jasper leaned against a tree trunk with his arms crossed. Even though he sounded calm, his eyes still drifted toward the testing area now and then. “The Guard Department’s tests are brutal. Of course, they take time.”
“I’m not rushing. I just wanna see how they’re getting wrecked in there.”
The moment Lucas finished speaking, a thunderous cheer exploded from inside the crowd. Right after that, a human figure New
out.
Literally flew out. The guy soared through the air in a perfect arc before smashing onto the ground with a loud spiat, routing twice before lying facedown without moving.
Lucas’s eyes widened as his mouth twitched violently. “This exam launches people through the air? Are they recruiting guards O building catapults?”
A burly man nearby watching the show answered casually, “It’s the Guard Department if nobody gets launched flying, what’s the point? They’re testing whose fists hit hardest, and who can take a beating.”
Lucas paused. Is it still possible to run away now?
Not long after, it was Jasper’s turn
“Take care of yourself!” Lucas shot him a sympathetic look Sure, the two of them constantly fought, but he didn t actually want the guy getting hurt
