"The Chosen One? Tarevi mocked Hirol mercilessly from the audience, while Ammilo on the side was expressionless and only nodded silently.

"You have a lot of things to fear and a lot to care about. If you don't control so many emotions, you won't be able to pass this class. Go down, next!" Bravi said in a slightly angry tone, and Hirol could only return to his seat in disgrace, silent, no matter how much Kalifi and Sinya next to him asked, Hirol did not reply.

Actually, Hirol doesn't know what's going on, but this person has often appeared in his nightmares since Hirol became a policeman, and Hirol doesn't know what this person's identity is, but there is an inexplicable fear, and when he thinks of this person's appearance, the fear comes inexplicably.

Herol had been trying to overcome this fear, trying to cover it with something else, but when the shadow reappeared, Herol finally remembered the incident.

The first half of the first class was over quickly, and it was time for the 'recess', and surprisingly, just after class, Ruth ran to Hiroel's seat. "Rogek, you... Are you alright?"

"Why do you care so much about him? You can't forget the rules of the sect, right?" Carifey was very concerned, why did Ruth only have Rogke in her eyes, could it be that she liked Rogark? But the Sect of the Honorable Gods has a clear decree prohibiting male and female members from falling in love.

"I, I'm just curious why a genius like him would perform the worst in the first class. Ruth seemed a little embarrassed to say it, and after being shy for a while, she made up an excuse, "You think, in terms of grades, he must be better than us, he passed the test of 3 temples in 6 days, even if he is not directly promoted, he is still at the genius level." But now the test is simple and short, why can't he do it well?"

"Yes, I saw him when I was in the 'Pure Desire' Temple, and he almost finished the test on the first day, and it was just a breeze on the second day. Snia said, knowing that he had seen Hirol pass the test, and that he was the first of the three.

Immediately afterward, Kalifi also added: "Not only the Pure Desire Temple, when he was in the Flame Palace, the test on the first day, he had already done what our believers who had studied for 4 days had not done, and he had only been at the Flame Temple for less than 1 hour. ”

Carifi and the others continue to discuss the reason for Hiroel's abnormal behavior, but only Hirol knows why he is afraid, that figure may be ordinary to others, but it is a nightmare for him.

Soon, the after-school class began, Ruth also returned to her seat, and Hirol was still in a trance, but Bravi didn't care about Hero's condition at all, people are different, he can't take care of every congregation, after entering the chapel, all the practice and consequences are borne by yourself, you can't pass the test, it's your own problem that you can't be promoted, and the instructor is only responsible for telling the content of the learning course.

"In the last class, all the members of the sect here have already tried to contact the 'Thousand Faces', and I have already recorded everyone's initial ratings, and there will be such a test in the next class, whether you are progressing and how far you have progressed, I will record it. Also, I forgot to mention that the results and ratings of the test are one of the criteria for your promotion to the second rank or above. Every day, the tutors of our two courses, as well as the Great Elder, will write down the grades based on your daily performance, and once you reach the passing mark in our hearts, you will be notified of your promotion. Bravi finally talked about the promotion mechanism and what the promotion method is, "In the first half of the class, we had a member of the sect who was very unexpectedly ranked at the bottom, that is, the Rogok sect, his performance was very disappointing, but he still has hope for change, so I hope that other sects will not slack off their practice because they have a worst grade, our Sect of Honorable Gods has never been determined by ranking, but by your daily performance in the Cult of Honorable Gods, whether you should be promoted or not eligible to stay." ”

When it comes to Hiroel's worst grades, Sinia, Karifi and Ruth show extreme concern, but Tarevi and Ammilo have already formed a 'small league' between classes and bewitched them and made them disgusted with Hirol too, so the performance of several of them is a smug smile.

This small movement and small expression, naturally could not escape Bravi's eyes, he knew what these boys were thinking, but this was not against the canon, so he did not explain it directly, but reminded all of them from the side.

Bravi then wrote a few words on the blackboard, 'Shadow of Fear', and then said, "Now that you have all experienced it, the next step is to teach you how to overcome your fears, which is the art of mind cultivation." Mind training is not the same as diverting your gaze and calming your mind, which is just escaping the status quo, but in reality you can't do that. There are three major essentials of mind cultivation, the first is 'calm', no matter what happens, it is useless to be anxious, the more anxious you are, the more chaotic you will be, so when you face your fears, the first thing you need to do is to empty your mind and leave all the things in your mind, including life and death, behind. The second priority is anger. I know that you have been trained in the Temple of Flame to restrain the anger in your heart, but the anger I speak of here is immediate. ”

Bravi said something unbelievable, but then Bravi also explained: "Instant anger refers to the anger that arises from hatred against an enemy who appears at a specific time, with the intention of defeating him, and this anger will be released on this enemy completely, and then forget about it, this is instant anger, which is simply the anger that only exists in a conflict, and arises instantly." And then, is the last step, that is, to be calm, after a thing is over, whether it is success or failure, you must calm your mind, do not think about that incident, as if that thing did not happen. The above are the three essentials of mind cultivation, and the three cycles are to keep emotions such as fear and anger only in that moment, and then forget them and keep them in your mind. ”

Hearing this, all the cultists were in a fog, and they still didn't understand it that way, what was the use of fighting against the 'Thousand Faces'? and Snia and Karifi didn't listen to it either, after all, they were all worried about Hirol now, even Ruth.

The class was soon over, and the second half of the lesson was just about what had happened in the past, and what successful practitioners had to say. After class, Herol was still sitting in his seat, the six gods were masterless, and they laughed at him mercilessly when they passed by Tarivi, but then Bravi walked to Hero's side.

"You, come with me. Bravi whispered, and Shirol slowly stood up, Sinya and Karifi tried to follow, but Ruth stopped them, and said, "The only one who can untie Rogk's knot is Mentor Bravi, so let's not go up and make trouble." ”

Indeed, before Hirol's test began, Bravi had reminded Hirol that Bravi knew what Hirol was thinking. "The shadow inside you, that illusion of fear, do you know what it is?"

"I... I don't know, Mentor Bravi. All I know is that a long time ago, I often dreamed of this guy, and I don't know why, I was very afraid of him. Herol wanted to know the truth, so he told Bravi about his nightmare.

"That fear, is a terrifying existence, a person who can make people sweat when they hear his name, although there is no photo of this person in the history books, but his appearance has been recorded. His whole body is filled with a dark and mysterious aura, and although he has the skin of an undead, he has the blood of a demon clan. "It's hard to do, yes!" "You just know it yourself, don't make a noise." I didn't mean to criticize you in class, but I can't take the risk of letting the rest of the congregation know that your fear comes from that person. "That's... How can I restrain myself? Mentor Bravi, you should know ......"

"I've made it very clear in class, remember the three essentials, especially the first one. With that, Bravi walked away, and then Snia and the others caught up.

"Rogrk, how's it going?Mentor, what did I tell you?" Ruth was the first to ask Hirol with concern, and Herol finally spoke, "I... It's okay, it's okay. Herol stopped talking, he already knew the fear in his heart, the shadow that often appeared in his nightmares.

And Hirol finally remembered when he began to have such nightmares, back when he was still studying at the police academy, in order to be able to get good grades and become a real police officer, he had been reading all the books, including the 'tragic history' that recorded the dark ages.

It records many ancient evil gods in the Dark Empire who slaughtered countless people and regarded human life as a mustard, and also recorded their leader, the feared Lord of Darkness!

After becoming a police officer, Hirol has been afraid that this terrifying existence will return again, because no matter how he protects the people, in front of this person, he is so small and powerless, and it is precisely because of this fear that Hirol often dreams of this monster.

What he really feared was not losing his life or being alone, but being derelict in his duty and not being able to protect the people he swore to protect, and the biggest threat was this, the Lord of Darkness!
