The Intelligence Bureau is essentially a collection of elite bureaucrats.
Young people who become royal officials with excellent grades, or outstanding graduates from military academies, receive a careful proposal if they have sufficient patriotism and no disqualifying factors.
After that, they gain the qualification to enter the Intelligence Bureau through several tests and interviews.
Nevertheless, there aren't many subordinates trusted by the Director of Intelligence.
To the Director, they all seem like young upstarts full of hot air.
It might be considered excessive criticism, but no one dared to point this out to the Director of Intelligence, who was one of the Eight Heroes of the Kingdom.
Ashton was one of the few subordinates who had earned the trust of such a Director.
He had even contributed to naming the Black Snake King.
Ashton's strength lies in his deductive ability based on astounding observational skills.
