Chapter 421 – Show off

Karun saw Richard holding a physical examination report in his hand, and they both limped out separately.

"What's wrong?"

"You didn't get the back checked? She said it's part of the process and must be checked, no skipping."

"Oh, right."

"It really hurts, like tearing open a piece of cloth with both hands, I even heard a 'crack' sound."

"Let's move on to the next examination."

"Walk slowly, walk slowly, oh, oh, oh..."

They then went to five more departments in a row, all for physical examinations.

Karun glanced at his 6-item score, which was mostly between 4 and 5.

In a regular hospital, this score meant "healthy body." However, in the Knight Hospital, this score meant that the physical condition was below standard, with a passing score of 6.

With this physical examination report, most of the military units in the Knight Hospital would not accept Karun, and he could only apply to a few units that did not require physical fitness.

Richard, on the other hand, scored mostly 7 to 8. He looked at himself and then at Karun, with a puzzled look.

"Is your physical condition really that average?"

This was not Richard's sarcastic question, but a genuine surprise. In his understanding, Karun was very brave in battle, even though Wintour and Bart were used to being on the front line. Richard always felt safer when Karun was in battle, although he didn't realize that Karun's strength in battle was always enhanced by magic.

"I've been focusing on exercising recently. I can only say that I wasted too much time before and need to change slowly. However, your physical condition, is it not because your father has been toughening you up?"

"Hey, if my physical condition wasn't good, my dad would have beaten me to death a long time ago."

At this time, Alfred and Memphis walked over.

The next examination was "internal body detection," which Karun understood as a full-body scan.

There was a door made of silver material in the department, and they were asked to leave their special equipment outside when entering.

Karun walked over first, and the door did not react, and the report came out normally.

In fact, there were many things inside his body, but they were all invisible, so he wasn't worried about being detected.

When Richard walked over, the door flickered.

"What's inside your body?" asked the old military doctor in charge of the examination. "It's not very large, but it shows signs of life, and it's very docile."

Karun felt that if it weren't for the "docile" label, the doctor's attitude wouldn't be so kind.

Richard replied, "My grandfather gave me a 'talisman' called Jerry. It's a lovely silkworm, but unfortunately, I can't call it out, otherwise I would invite you to admire it together."

"Is your grandfather a member of the church?"

"Yes, of course."

"Which system?"

"The Formation System. What's the name of the department?"

"You don't even remember which department your family members work in?"

"It was just reorganized and renamed. Oh, I remember, it's now called the York City District Special Nexus Management Department."

"Special Nexus Management Department?" The old military doctor pondered over the department name. He didn't know what "nexus management" meant, but he recognized "special." In the various systems and departments within the church, any department with the prefix "special" was not simple.

"What about your family's positions?"

"Judge."

"Oh, what about your father?" It was unlikely that both the grandfather and grandson were members of the church, so there was probably no break in the lineage.

"Judge."

"Oh? What about your mother?"

"Judge."

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

The old military doctor was stunned, then pointed to the list in front of him and said, "For this item, I can only give you a 'mostly normal' evaluation. I'll also add an additional clause for you. You can have your grandfather or father send a formal letter on behalf of the department, and it will become 'normal.'"

"Oh, okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the examination, Richard yawned. He didn't take this seriously at all, because he didn't need a complete physical examination report.

"Go back and ask your dad to help you with the formal letter."

"Why waste the effort?" Richard was puzzled.

"It's already been discovered, so just do it. Don't leave any special remarks. You know very well that the worm you swallowed can't be exposed to light, and the special abilities you have now are also given to you by that worm. Can you guarantee that you won't use it in front of others in the future? Now is the chance to clear it, so that in the future, unless someone dissects you, no one can use this thing to accuse you."

"Oh, right, but I can't go to my grandfather." Richard pondered, "My grandfather is very principled. If I don't take the initiative to tell him, he can turn a blind eye. Once I take the initiative to tell him, his principles will definitely make me tell him everything. I don't mind, but I'm afraid of implicating you, Karun. It's not something a brother should do, even an enemy wouldn't have the face to do such a thing."

"Then let's leave it at that."

Karun glanced at Memphis, who had just walked out from inside. The words just now seemed to be directed at Richard, but they were more for Memphis.

Memphis nodded at Karun and said, "I'm fine."

Richard continued to struggle with this matter, saying, "This is difficult. My grandfather is a matter of principle. If I tell my dad, he will definitely work harder to beat me in the future, knowing that I have a worm in my body that can help heal injuries."

Karun glanced at Richard, turned around, and smiled.

You swallowed that worm in front of your dad, so he must have taken the worm's healing ability into account when he beat you.

The last item of the physical examination was a blood test.It was not explicitly written on the physical examination form. The item marked on it was only "body potential detection". It wasn't until Karun walked to the door of the room and saw the red crystal ball floating inside that he understood the specific method of the test.

The question is, can he send his blood for testing?

Karun clearly remembered that his blood had forcibly forced the bugs out of Ophelia and Bernard's bodies.

At this time, saying that his blood was not abnormal was a bit of self-deception.

Should he end the physical examination now?

It is possible to end it, because not all the items of the physical examination need to be done, and it is not mandatory. After all, it is not really for conscription.

But Karun knew that he really needed this physical examination form. He had to go through the whole process and get it stamped in the end.

After being organized, the part of his body that belonged to the mark of Larnedal should have disappeared, and his second son, Lord Darl, did not recognize him in the inner world of the door.

So, should he take the risk?

There were three doctors in the office, one in charge of drawing blood, one in charge of operating the crystal ball, and one in charge of giving the evaluation report in the end.

Everyone else went to do it one by one, and each came up with their own evaluation.

At this time, Richard also went up to draw blood, and then his blood sample was placed under the crystal ball. The crystal ball turned slightly, and the last old military doctor looked at Richard with some surprise and said with a smile:

"Your body potential is very high, young man, very energetic."

"Oh, really, thank you, hehe."

Richard laughed happily.

"Master, may I go for a test first?" Alfred approached Karun and asked.

"You go?" Karun was surprised. Alfred didn't need to do the whole thing. If Richard only had a "small flaw" that needed to be fixed, then Alfred's demon origin, almost his whole body was a flaw, unlike Lady Molly's.

"I'm fine. Except for my eyes, most of my body parts are normal, unlike Lady Molly's. I'll go and test the sensitivity of that machine first. Even if there is a problem and my demon identity is revealed, I have the work certificate opened in the name of Mr. Pavarro by you, Master. There are quite a few demons working for the Order of the Gods in the Order of the Gods, and it's not worth being surprised, is it?"

"Well, you go first."

"Okay, Master, I'm actually looking forward to it."

Karun knew the meaning of Alfred's words. He had just arrived in Vienna not long ago and could not sense the demon's breath on himself.

Compared to himself, who was worshipped, Alfred, who worshipped him, was even more excited and more involved, always immersed in an atmosphere that he might not even be able to reach.

Alfred did not want to wash away his demon identity. What he wanted was the "miracle" of faith on him.

After Memphis finished the inspection, Alfred went up and had blood drawn by the doctor. When the blood sample was sent to the bottom of the crystal ball, Alfred's face showed an expectant look.

"Your body potential is very high, admirable."

Alfred immediately smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, doctor."

Seeing that Alfred had passed, Karun pursed his lips, walked up, and bared his arm.

The doctor who drew the blood shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen such good skin on a man doing a physical examination."

Karun could only respond with a polite smile.

After the blood draw, the sample was placed under the crystal ball.

Karun looked calmly at the crystal ball, but inside, he was already nervous.

He even regretted a little, regretted why he didn't resolutely withdraw and avoid the possible risks after learning about this project.

If his blood really detected something wrong, it was likely that his current identity would be directly overturned.

But this kind of regret was shallow. It did exist, but it did not shake his decision.

Is this the courage that the Order of the Gods brought to him?

After adjusting his mood a little, Karun's mood immediately calmed down. Just be calm, it's not a big deal.

The results came out.

Karun felt that he should have succeeded, because there was no anomaly in the crystal ball.

In theory, he had only two possibilities, either very normal, or... very abnormal.

The doctor who issued the report looked at Karun and frowned slightly.

Huh?

Is there a problem?

But this expression was a bit wrong.

"Karun, right?"

"Yes."

"This name sounds familiar, Karun. Silva..." The doctor looked at the name, then at Karun, "Is it the Karun who went to the Gate of Reincarnation?"

"It's me."

"Your body potential is good at the level of ordinary people, but in our hospital... I'll just say it, you should pay more attention to your health."

"Okay, thank you."

Karun took the report. Although the doctor evaluated him as "physically weak," Karun was already very satisfied with this.

The physical examination project was over, which meant that the most easily exposed part was completed. Karun had nothing to worry about in the next two major items of "soul" and "faith" examination.

There was definitely no problem with his soul, after all, even his grandfather had been draped in a god's robe by him.

As for the "faith" aspect, who could detect that his "faith" was not firm? After all, he had already started preaching.

"No wonder Grandma said you were weak and kept making soup to nourish you. It turns out that you really are weak."

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem, it's just a bit unexpected. Do you know, in my eyes, you are almost omnipotent and excellent in all aspects."

Karun smiled, and Richard's words reminded him.

He had to produce a normal physical examination report, but if everything was "mediocre," that would be the biggest abnormality.

It was almost like telling those bigwigs who would investigate his identity information in the future that this report was fake!And, it would be redundant, not only would it not solidify my identity, but it would also intensify the suspicion of my identity.

So, in the next two items...

As for faith, it doesn't matter. Although every religion emphasizes faith and loyalty to the gods, do those big shots believe that they have such high talents because of their unwavering devotion to the god of order?

Only the soul is left.

I must obtain a high evaluation in the upcoming soul examination in order to provide a reasonable explanation.

The first item in the soul examination is the test of soul strength. In the center of the room, there is a sunken water tank surrounded by various measuring devices. As for the liquid inside, it is not ordinary water, but a translucent jelly-like substance.

Memphis was the first to go in, as required, he squatted down and placed his palm into the water tank.

Soon, there was a violent disturbance on the surface of the water.

Two military doctors sat on the side, responsible for counting, and one of them finally gave an evaluation.

When Memphis withdrew his hand and stood up, the doctor in charge of recording asked, "Formation Master?"

This was their professional habit. People with high soul strength would generally be recommended to join the Formation Master sequence.

Memphis nodded.

"Not in the knight order?"

"No."

"What a pity." After expressing his regret, the doctor suddenly seemed to realize something, stood up, and handed the list to Memphis with both hands.

With this level of soul strength, combined with his age, even if he was not in the knight order, his position in an external department would definitely not be low, worthy of some respect.

Next up was Richard. After placing his hand in the water, ripples appeared on the surface.

The doctor handed Richard the list and said, "Very good."

"Thank you."

Memphis sighed. As a member of the Guman family, being evaluated as "very good" in soul strength was already considered a waste of bloodline.

At this time, Eslie and the others, after completing the other examination items, arrived here. Muri and Ventula walked up to Karun.

Ventula spoke first, "Captain, I was delayed for a long time in the blood test area and I have to go back to find my principal to open an experience certificate."

Ventula encountered the same problem as Richard before. The military doctors here were all well-versed in the ways of those with "special" qualities, but there had to be a set of explanations and procedures. Otherwise, they would not be able to give you a direct "qualified" evaluation. As for asking a department of sufficient rank to open a certificate, this was actually a way of shifting responsibility.

Alfred spoke to Ventula, "As long as you are devout enough, you will soon become just like a normal person."

As a demon, now undergoing a physical examination at the knight hospital, the composition of his blood was actually that of a normal person. This was the best proof!

Ventula was stunned for a moment, looked at Alfred, and then nodded vigorously. The little boy now had absolute trust and obedience to Karun, even surpassing Alfred in this regard.

Muri then asked, "Captain, have you been tested?"

Karun glanced at Eslie and the others being tested there, shook his head, and said, "You guys go first. I will try to break the testing machine later."

"Cough..." Muri coughed twice, "So that's how it is, we understand."

Karun stood by the door, watching his subordinates go for testing one by one. After Eslie and the others finished testing, they did not leave, but stayed to wait for Karun's test results.

Richard whispered to Blanche, who was beside him, "Why didn't you stay to watch when the captain was being tested?"

Blanche said matter-of-factly, "We can't have the captain's physical body."

Eslie added, "But we can have the captain's soul."

Richard shrugged and said, "Makes sense."

It was Filomena's turn. When she reached into the water tank to begin the test, the liquid in the tank began to sway like the waves on a beach.

All the military doctors in the room stood up in surprise, and one of them directly threw a piece of paper from the desk, which immediately turned into a black crow and flew out.

Soon, a director and two deputy directors rushed in, and after seeing the scene in the water tank, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

Filomena, feeling impatient, asked, "Is it done?"

"It's done, it's done, it's already done."

Filomena withdrew her hand and stood up.

The director stepped forward and handed her a business card, saying, "Join the Formation Master sequence of the knight order. I can guarantee with my integrity that you will definitely..."

"Not interested."

After Filomena's cold response, she walked out of the room. As she passed by Karun, she stopped, looked at Karun, and showed a provocation in her eyes.

Karun also looked at her, then immediately averted his gaze.

Actually, Karun had never done anything to her personally, but the "exclusion" and "expulsion" from the group had brought psychological shadows to Filomena.

She was not afraid of Karun causing her physical harm, but what she feared was the mental exclusion and alienation from Karun.

Everyone else had finished testing, and it was Karun's turn.

Karun sighed and smiled bitterly at Alfred standing beside him, "This time, I have to 'show off'."

When he first met Alfred, Karun was not completely familiar with the environment and occasionally said some "new words". Alfred relied on recording these "new words" to try to understand and comprehend that ancient and mysterious language.

For a long time, after getting used to the culture and language here, Karun stopped doing this.

But recently, amazed by Alfred's language skills, Karun was willing to use some Chinese vocabulary when communicating with Alfred.

On the one hand, it was because of Alfred's strong desire for knowledge, and on the other hand, it was interesting. In this world, to have someone to communicate with you in your "native language" was an irreplaceable spiritual comfort.As Karun walked inside, Alfred immediately pulled out his notebook and swiftly wrote down the pronunciation of the word with his fountain pen, then plunged into a mode of contemplative study:

The word 'Show off' seems to be akin to lifting, taking down, placing, lifting something up, setting it out, taking it out, letting it out... Could its extended meaning be "to present"?

But what does the following syllable signify?

Watching Karun's retreating figure as he walked in, Alfred, associating it with what the young master was about to do, had an epiphany and wrote:

"This character signifies nobility, elegance, solemnity, sanctity!"

Alfred's heart began to thump wildly; this word was of such a high level, far more refined than his own "flamboyant."

Sigh...

When would the young master bestow this word upon me?

Karun approached the water tank, squatted down, and then slowly placed his hand into it.

No holding back, he released all his soul power.

Karun closed his eyes, and the Eye of Order began to circulate!

At this time, the other military doctors and the director had already run to the door to look for Philomena, still hoping to persuade this terrifyingly talented girl.

Only one military doctor remained, absentmindedly holding Karun's medical report, his gaze still fixed outside the door.

After a while, he glanced down and noticed that the values hadn't changed, and there wasn't the slightest ripple on the water's surface.

"This won't do."

The military doctor was about to write his evaluation when he suddenly stopped.

No, how could there be no reaction at all?

This group of people clearly came together, all of them clerics; no matter what, there should be some ripples, right? It couldn't be this calm; otherwise, how would they cast spells?

Then, he saw that those who had been tested before hadn't left; they all stood at the doorway, watching intently, their eyes filled with anticipation, including the girl who had walked out earlier, who had now turned back to the door, causing the director and other colleagues to follow her back.

The military doctor lowered his head, wondering if there was a problem with the dial of the monitoring equipment.

Just as he was about to bend down, his ears suddenly felt stuffy, water splashed, and ceramic shards flew about.

"Boom!"

The water tank exploded.
