Su-ho bore no ill will toward Kang Seul-gi—not in this lifetime, at least.
In fact, his feelings were overwhelmingly positive.
After all, in his previous life, Kang Seul-gi had shredded cursed items into usable materials, some of which Su-ho now relied on for his gear.
“Who would’ve thought past trolling would help in the present?”
For that reason, Su-ho had already decided that Kang Seul-gi was someone he needed on his side at the Daehan Association.
Jo Geon-hyuk broke into a smile and said, “Alright, let’s get started with the second test without delay.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“The testing area is ready. The second test is divided into two parts: purification and destruction. But before that, you know what those terms mean, right?”
“Yes. Purification refers to removing the curse from cursed items, making them safe for use or storage. Destruction, on the other hand, involves incinerating items that can neither be purified nor stored.”
“Exactly right. Let’s begin with the purification assessment.”
The Purification Assessment
The assessment took place in an area known as the Purification Wing, where a temporary testing room had been set up.
As soon as Su-ho entered, he was given protective gear—precautionary measures in case of accidents.
“Special Team 2 is far more dangerous than most other departments.”
Though Su-ho didn’t actually need such protection, few here were aware of his capabilities.
Once the test began, Su-ho entered the room alone, where a box containing a test cursed item awaited him. Its contents were concealed beneath a dark cloth.
“I hope it’s something I know.”
“Oh? This is...”
“You may begin the purification process using the tools provided. Good luck.”
“That number will exceed 50 in the future.”
