"Yes, Sir. That is all." Jorge respectfully explained all the things that happened within their expedition, even the little quarrel Clement and Beckett had to an old man.
"You can go. Send Clement and Beckett inside. I have some talking to do." The old man was lying on his bed with two beautiful, voluptuous girls with only little pieces of clothes covering them. One girl held a hand fan, moving it from side to side, blowing gentle air to the old man while the other girl was just standing there.
The girls had handprints all over their bodies, especially their private areas. Anyone can figure out what was done and who did it.
While he was in the room, Jorge never gave a single glance towards the girls and left giving any.
It sounds like it was the old man's private room or something, but it was an official place where he was assigned to handle the tasks related to the missions, rewards and troop management. It was a decent job, but nowhere near living like he was doing.
"Go. You guys are called inside." Jorge said to Clement and Beckett. It was the only thing that Jorge said after coming out of the room.
The rest of the group was standing beside the door. Beckett and the other two were on the left while Clement alone was on the right. It looked like Clement was an outcast on the team.
After Jorge said so, both of them walked a few meters before standing in front of the door. There was a contrast visible in their expression.
One was slightly worried while the other was happy. Without knocking, asking or anything, Beckett opened the door and went straight in.
"Uncle!! Why did you call your nephew? Is there any problem?"
Beckett was the nephew of Lt. Commander of the Fourth Division of Light Legion, which is why he had many "followers" in the fourth division, even though most of his followers had higher levels than him.
"Ah, there's no trouble, nephew. I just heard that you had some quarrel with a lowly insect, and I called you so we both could humiliate the insect and make him know his place." The old man said with a hideous grin on his face.
"They aren't new, Uncle. They have marks on their boobs. Whatever, it has been a long time." Beckett was drooling, looking at the girls like a hungry man looking at food, waiting to feast.
"Hmm. What's this?! Does this lowly insect dare to come inside without my permission? It sure has big guts for an insect. What should we do to him, my nephew?" The old man still had a grin, but it was larger than before.
Meanwhile, his nephew was busy fondling the breasts of the girls. The girls looked like they were used to such things as they didn't show any resistance.
Saliva drooling down his face, he said, "Uncle, I missed a circus show last week. Make him do the tricks of the circus. If he can entertain me, we will let him go."
"Haha... Yes, a good punishment, fitting for the people of his status. Too bad, his father passed away. Otherwise, we could see a father-son duo circus, the clown of the Light Legion." Beckett's Uncle said while laughing out loud.
Clement couldn't hold it any longer. At a quick speed, he dashed towards Beckett. While Clement couldn't harm the Uncle, that didn't mean that he couldn't hurt the nephew. Even though he knew it was most likely a trap to get him in a bad situation, he couldn't stand someone speaking badly about his father.
As a surge of mana power formed around him, it activated the broken piece of mask that Mizar had lost. A small dark sphere formed around his chest.
"Thi-This! What is this? Your life is now gone. I don't even have to do anything, but I will."
He took out a jade piece from his chest pocket and broke it after recording his message on it. After he broke it, the news he had registered travelled to every jade holder in the Light Legion.
Clement didn't expect the thing he picked up in the forest to be something related to Dark Magic. He was even more confused about how the piece of mask could activate dark magic even though he was a light magic-user.
But one thing that Clement knew was that he had to run away from here as soon as possible.
He was just in reach of Beckett. It would be better for him just to leave Beckett alone and run, but he didn't. Using all the Mana from within his body, he shot a laser beam at Beckett.
Beckett being several levels weaker than he couldn't defend himself as he got shot in the throat. The beam went through his throat, making a hole, and cracked the wall behind, breaking it.
Through the broken wall, he made his escape. Possessing an item related to the Dark Legion or attacking and killing a fellow member were deadly crimes that one could possibly do in Light Legion.
He will get killed if he didn't manage to escape fast enough.
...
Mizar was taken to a Colosseum. The Colosseum's round arena was surrounded by water, with the only exit being a broad hallway filled with unknown. Mizar's test was to successfully exit the Colosseum without dying.
Of course, he could reject the test, but he would have to live as an average joe doing, Meaningless task in the Organization. With his observation, Mizar figured out that. Dark Legion was up to something, and when that happens, he didn't want to be a low tier cannon fodder. On top of that, there was also the task the system had given him, so he had to do it.
The Colosseum was in a remote place, in the middle of a forest. The forest had integrated into the Colosseum. Mizar was dropped here through the air. All alone in the giant Colosseum, he heard a voice.
"Get ready, Kid. Your test starts after you step into the Hallway. The Hallway is divided into four tiers, with each tier becoming progressively dangerous and more formidable. We will not let you die, but don't count on it. We will only come to rescue you when you are in a near-death state. If we are somehow late, you will die. So, only count on yourself." The voice was of the Old Man that was sitting at the end of the hall.
Mizar had already figured that out after seeing the penalty from the system. The test didn't start right away, meaning that they were giving him time to prepare. He had nothing to prepare except increasing his stats and mastery using points.
He had no choice but to increase the stats in front of everyone. Listening to them and looking at the system, it looked like the test wasn't something that he could complete without having the possibility of dying.
So he sat down in the middle of the Colosseum and opened the system panel. He had 22 stat points, and one mastery points to use.

There were few new things, but he didn't have time to focus on those. He planned to make all his stats equal to not fall short on anything when he needed to fight. He put 7 points on strength, 6 points on sense, 4 points on agility and one point on intelligence.
A sudden surge of power, along with the feeling of warmness, came from within him.
"How?!" Mizar heard a voice. It wasn't the old man's voice in the hall, but someone else that was watching Mizar. Mizar smirked inwardly as he speculated about their reactions after using the mastery points to upgrade his skill.
