Chapter 155: Thorough pain

"What do you mean by 'score'?"

Mathias looked at Nial in confusion. He had yet to understand the reason for the junior Soldiers to have been stationed at the base within the ancient ruins dungeon.

This told Nial once again that Mathias was rather simple-minded and that his friend was quite naive as well.

"I think what Nial means is that you can consider the 'protection fee' and the appearance of the junior Soldiers as a part of the Teradan military camp's mission." 

Bella's answer was quite simple. In response to her, Mathias nodded his head in a faint notion before he turned his head in Nial's direction.

"A hidden test was it? So…the team of Originals that was in front of us failed?"

He wanted to know what was on Nial's mind, but his friend just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, the test was quite obviously not very well hidden, right?" Nial asked him a counter-question before thinking something through.
