First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Before Lu Ding could swing his sword or speak, the voice that had previously shown phantom-level combat power and protected Chu Xiao spoke up again.

”Don’t kill her! If you kill her, there’s no turning back!”

”She’s already in this state... forget it. Listen to me, let it go. I am willing to use all my connections and resources to guarantee your entry into the best 749 Bureau. A genius like you has a destined, smooth road ahead. You should have a better future. Don’t be foolish, child!!!”

The old man flew over to stop Lu Ding.

How could he bear to let such a promising seedling commit the grave mistake of killing a 749 Bureau investigator?

Seeing this scene and hearing these words, Chi Yanyi, who already felt the gap between herself and the young man in the scholar-warrior sleeves, thought: if he enters the 749 Bureau and gains status on top of that...

Then...

No!

The already stubborn Chi Yanyi, now hearing the old man’s words and knowing she probably wouldn’t die, instantly got energized, as if she’d drunk two ounces of horse piss.

She opened her mouth and shouted defiantly:”Come on!!!”

”Kill me!”

”If you don’t kill me today, I will kill you in the future! This isn’t over between us!!!”

A threat?

It really had been a long time since he’d heard anyone dare to threaten him.

Lu Ding felt a sense of nostalgia.

He raised his hand and swung the sword.

A fine head soared into the sky.

Without a single wasted word, he directly finished off Chi Yanyi.

At the moment her head flew up, one could still see her wide-open, unseeing eyes.

They were filled with confusion.

How dare he...

How dare he kill me in front of so many people...

How dare he act so cleanly and decisively...

Well, you weren’t happy if he didn’t kill you, and now you’re dissatisfied that he actually did.

Lu Ding spun and delivered a whip kick.

*BANG!!!*

A mid-air volley directly kicked Chi Yanyi’s flying head into pieces.

Call him bloodthirsty, call his methods cruel.

What, was he supposed to let someone who harbored the intent to kill him live? Let the tiger return to the mountain, cause trouble for him later, secretly seek revenge? And *that* would be considered not bloodthirsty, not cruel?

Forget that.

Chi Yanyi died on the spot.

The situation at the entire 749 Reserve University instantly spiraled out of control.

This was a teacher.

Immediately.

Several terrifying auras erupted from all directions across the campus, sealing off the entire 749 Reserve University.

Even the old man whose attitude had softened changed his demeanor in an instant.

Appreciating talent is one thing.

But one’s stance cannot be compromised!

He could advise Lu Ding.

He could also immediately change his attitude after Lu Ding made a mistake, resolutely uphold the basic operational rules of the Great Han’s 749 Bureau, and vow to eliminate anyone who dared challenge the authority of the Great Han.

No matter who stood before him, even at the cost of his own life!!

Fu Xinghe watched as the situation grew tense. Even though he had some idea of what was coming, he couldn’t help but worry.

After all, this matter started because of him.

”Brother Lu...”

Lu Ding raised a hand behind him, cutting off his speech.

He didn’t even need Fu Xinghe to say it; Lu Ding knew what he wanted to say.

They were bros; this kind of talk was meaningless.

Besides, he was never the type to act on impulse without thinking.

Lu Ding reached back into the Red Coffin, pulled out a shoulder insignia, slapped it onto his shoulder, then took out a special merit award medal and hung it on his chest.

No more pretending.

Cards on the table.

In an instant.

Everyone’s imposing aura halted.

All eyes froze.

Gazes locked onto Lu Ding’s shoulder insignia and medal, shifting back and forth, repeatedly confirming.

This insignia... this medal... are you joking?

Many 749 Reserve students who hadn’t yet entered the field looked at the insignia on Lu Ding’s shoulder and the medal on his chest, exclaiming in shock.

”He... he’s actually a 749 investigator?! An investigator that emits black smoke? And a Senior Investigator at that!!! This... I’ve never heard of this...”

”Wait, I suddenly can’t make sense of this. Whether it’s mock exams or real exams, major or minor tests, my theoretical scores have never dropped below ninety-five. I have all the regional insignias and various medals memorized backwards and forwards. Why does his look so unfamiliar? I’ve never seen a medal like this. Gold base with red accents; the larger the red in the center, the more precious and higher the rank. But no matter how precious, it shouldn’t be completely red.”

”Right, right! And his shoulder insignia is wrong too. There’s no regional designation mark. What kind of blank insignia only has a rank?”

”Could it be there’s some secret unit within our 749 Bureau?”

”Are you insane? You’re a senior and still talking in your sleep? I’ve never heard of any secret unit in 749. Even if there were, the authority and priority of a secret unit would definitely be very high. In that case, members of a secret unit couldn’t possibly be Senior Investigators. And if it’s a secret unit, why would they use the ordinary investigator rank system? Even with a blank regional designation, it would have to be a new rank system. There’s a logical flaw; I reject your idea and speculation.”

”Then what’s going on? Fake!?”

”No! Absolutely real. Just because we don’t recognize it doesn’t mean the teachers, the powerful ones, the seniors don’t. They’re not moving now, which means this must be real!”

As the students discussed, in the school office building, a group of school leaders who had rushed to the doorway suddenly stopped.

As if frozen in place.

They instinctively turned their heads to look at Secretary Qiu.

Overlapping voices filled with anger rang out.

”Qiu Lü, why didn’t you say earlier that he’s a 749 investigator!?”

”Qiu Lü, why didn’t you say earlier that he’s a 749 special mission dispatch investigator?!”

”Qiu Lü, why didn’t you say earlier that he’s a special merit award medal holder!?”

”Wait, that’s not right. When has our Great Han issued a special merit award medal in recent years?”

Secretary Qiu had remained completely motionless from start to finish.

Although the situation just now looked dangerous, he knew Lu Ding would absolutely never put himself in real danger.

Secretary Qiu stood up.

He walked outside.

”You’d better hear it from him himself.”

The group of school leaders followed.

On the plaza, the old man whose demeanor had just changed now stood rooted to the spot, his eyes gradually growing cloudy as he stared at the special merit award medal on Lu Ding’s chest.

He said nothing.

It was as if everyone’s silence was setting the stage for Lu Ding, waiting for him to speak.

And he obliged their wishes.

His voice rang out, clear for everyone to hear.

”Hanjing 749 Reserve University First-Class Teacher, Chi Yanyi, violated teacher ethics, targeted a student. Having now investigated and verified the details of the matter, I, in my capacity as the Great Han 749 Headquarters Special Envoy dispatched to New City, hereby dismiss Chi Yanyi from her position.”

The priority of a Special Envoy is inherently higher than that of an investigator. For such a matter, it was reasonable and legal for Lu Ding, as a Special Envoy, to come and handle it.

However.

It was non-standard procedure.

Because he was an investigator from New City—an outsider’s sword striking down a local official.

And he acted first, then followed procedure.

But then Lu Ding continued: ”Chi Yanyi, former 749 investigator, publicly threatened the personal safety of a Special Envoy in front of a large crowd, obstructing the progress of a special dispatch mission!”

”According to the 749 internal management regulations, confidentiality regulations, and priority regulations, during the execution of a special dispatch mission, all matters concerning the Special Envoy shall prioritize the mission. The 749 Special Dispatch Investigator possesses the authority to act first and report later against any individual or force obstructing the mission!”

The logic complemented itself; now it was seamless.

Threatening Lu Ding’s personal safety, declaring intent to kill him—if he were killed, wouldn’t that affect the mission?

If Chi Yanyi were still here now, she’d probably be pointing at herself.

Chi Yanyi: Me? Are you talking about me? Me killing him? Are you saying *I* killed Lu Ding?

Originally, if Chi Yanyi hadn’t threatened Lu Ding today, Lu Ding would likely have given her a disciplinary action, dismissed her, sent her for re-education.

But she just had to threaten him.

So Lu Ding had no choice but to grant her wish.

After saying all this, Lu Ding looked at the old man. ”Now, do you still want to secure my entry into the 749 Bureau?”
