“What happened?”

  “Captain allowed someone without a Certificate to enter……”

  “Did he get bribed?”

  “Be quiet!”

  The soldiers seemed to be in shock as James glared at Jaehwan.

  ‘.……who the hell is he?’

  And after a while, Mino and Karlton walked out of the office. Mino seemed she had been shaken as she definitely had a hard time going through the [Order of Law].

  “Mino, you should always carry the certificate. And never bribe again. I would have to punish you, but I’m letting you go because Jaehwan asked me to.”

  Mino looked lifelessly at Jaehwan as Karlton continued,

  “Jaehwan has proved his identity.”

  It was the object Jaehwan threw at Karlton. It was the [Stone of Forgotten Spirit] created by one of five renowned families of Great Lands, the Greens. It was mostly used by members of the Greens to prove their identity, but there was a reason why it was famous.

  The stone would boost an Adapter’s Spirit Power when carried around with them.

  The one he threw at Karlton was powerful enough to change a Non-Adapter into a 1st stage Adapter. That was enough to prove Jaehwan’s identity.

  “These stones have been examined, so I will return it to you.”

  “You don’t need it?”

  “You should not give it away to anyone. You should value what you have, Messenger of the Greens.”

  Karlton handed over the two stones to him. After guiding Jaehwan and Mino inside, he took out something that looked like a temperature measurement device.

  “This checks the Corruption level of the Spirit. Everyone must be tested with this, just in case.”

  Jaehwan looked at Mino as she would usually explain in this case. But Mino still looked lifeless.

  “She will be like that for a while since she was punished with the [Order of Law].”

  Jaehwan nodded.

  “I will start with Mino.”

  The machine beeped for a while and then a floating small screen displayed in the air.

  [Result: Caution – corruption has exceeded 15%. Recommend taking medication.]

  Karlton became grim.
