I! Cleaner!-Chapter 742 - 677: Rumors End… Actually, They Never Do!
Food God! The Food God is here too!
While Leon was observing the environment, the Cleaners, as part of the "environment," naturally were also observing him.
When his kind gaze swept over them, all those who had previously participated in the last promotion exam, "invited" to hold a party in Leon’s stomach, immediately fell ill in unison.
Their breath caught, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled.
Over thirty Cleaners completed the triple symptoms of illness in almost perfect synchronization, like they were doing exercises in a queue, quickly withdrew in a hurry, and within two breaths left a large empty space around Leon.
"..."
Ruined, all ruined.
The Sagittarius director, sitting cross-legged on the Stone Tablet, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth as he watched the Cleaners lose their will to resist just from being swept over by Leon’s gaze.
The Sagittarian Palace favors traits of the "Brave," sharp and hard, concentrated and focused, willing to sacrifice, fearless of danger, and courageously moving forward... basically those kinds of things.
These Cleaners, being chosen by the Sagittarian Palace, prove they indeed possess the corresponding qualities, even one can feel their sharp and striking souls from their gazes.
But these Cleaners, who actually have decent qualities, had their originally sharp arrow-like will dulled by half just from Leon’s gaze—half of them could be eliminated before the Sagittarian Palace’s selection even starts.
Hm... but that’s fine too.
Squinting, he scrutinized the Cleaners and amidst the group who didn’t dare to look up, saw one standing proudly under Leon’s oppressive presence, with a posture like a pine and wearing white clothes that rivaled snow. The Sagittarius director couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Not everyone is incompetent; after all, some dare face Leon head-on.
Anyway, there is only one director position, and those who were scared off by just a glance weren’t truly sharp, only arrogance and insolence spawned by lack of vision and low-level understanding. Let them be eliminated, then.
Only someone like her, who is truly fearless and genuinely sharp and resilient, is qualified to take up the mantle of Sagittarius Palace and become humanity’s last guardian!
"Hm?"
Just as the Sagittarius director was carefully evaluating the proudly standing figure, considering her as a key target for this assessment, Leon seemed to notice her uniqueness too and walked over with a broad smile.
"Senior Abigail? You were also selected by Sagittarius Palace!"
Abigail...
The Level 1 Cleaner from the Scorpio Branch, famously known as "The Purifier," Abigail?
Upon recalling this name, the admiration in the Sagittarius director’s eyes grew even stronger.
Not only did she become a Level 1 Cleaner at such a young age, but she also retained her self under the [Fear] Authority emanating from around Leon. Truly, she is someone highly recommended by the Scorpio Bureau Head; Edward found a good seed!
Yet, under the admiring gaze of the Sagittarius director, dressed in white, Abigail disdainfully refused to respond to Leon’s greeting, her feet gripping the ground tightly, her posture rigid, slowly turning, and then arrogantly pleading to the nearest Cleaner:
"Quick... help me up, my... my legs are stiff!"
"..."
Ah, this... didn’t we explain the matter last time?
Watching Abigail, who was carried away by her Scorpio Branch companions to safety, Leon’s smile froze on his face along with the director’s.
During the previous promotion exam, things were too rushed to properly explain the matter with the lamb whip. Seeing her here for the selection, he initially planned to build rapport, but it seems that won’t happen now...
...
Phew... at least I don’t have to face him...
Feeling immense relief, Abigail, now supported and retreated into the crowd away from Leon’s lightly "resentful" gaze, exhaled deeply as she shook off the massive feeling of fear.
That Leon seems even scarier than before.
Even knowing the Sagittarius director is nearby and would surely prevent any madness, when he approached and his familiar aura enveloped her, her mind buzzed blank, losing all thought.
Especially when he smiled and greeted her, she saw a vision as if directly swallowed whole, awaiting death in despair—that terrifying moment where her body froze, almost embarrassing herself.
"Thank you..."
Deeply grateful, Abigail sincerely thanked the person supporting her:
"If it wasn’t for you just now, I probably would have embarrassed myself."
"No problem!"
Upon hearing Abigail’s gratitude, the young female Cleaner, with large eyes and a small chest, initially raised her head with a sweet smile, then shook her twin-tails:
"I just gave you a little support, nothing much... by the way!"
Glancing at Leon who, amidst the amazement of everyone, quickly headed to the center of the square to chat with the Sagittarius director, the petite female Cleaner couldn’t help but ask curiously:
"Pretty sister, who was that just now? Why does everyone seem scared of him?"
That person...
Abigail shuddered slightly at the words and then with a complex expression replied:
"That person is a Cleaner from the Virgin Branch, probably the strongest Cleaner below the division head. We all call him the Food God..."
Food God?
The female Cleaner widened her eyes in surprise and pursued further:
"So the food he makes is delicious?"
"No, no, no! That’s not what it means!"
Seeing the small female Cleaner’s face suddenly interested, Abigail’s heart skipped, she hurriedly clarified:
"His nickname doesn’t mean he cooks, but that he eats anything when he’s angry, including people!
Among these Cleaners, including myself, more than half participated in the last promotion exam, and if it hadn’t been for the quick arrival of the Sagittarius director, we’d all have been eaten by him!"
"Ah?!!!"
...
The previous promotion exam incident seems harder to explain now...
Feeling the increasingly intense "Fear" from the crowd, Leon fell silent, temporarily abandoning attempts to engage with other "classmates," and instead sat cross-legged in the spot closest to the Sagittarius director.
Never mind, the lamb whip matter can wait; for now, the Sagittarius secret technique takes precedence.
Although personally chosen by five Palaces, Taurus secret technique might not be suitable, Cancer secret technique is rather repulsive, and both Aquarius and Pisces secret techniques are auxiliary by nature.
Thus, the Sagittarius secret technique, which can Enhance abnormal objects and directly boost combat power, might be my best choice, so this lesson must be thoroughly understood!
