Ark Undead

"Do you have some time now? Let's chat for a bit?"

"what's up?"

The immortal retorted.

Kal'tsit's tone was as cold and unapproachable as ever, but this time she didn't seem particularly anxious.

"It's nothing important, I just wanted to ask if you have time to come with me to the HR department."

"Why me?"

The immortals don't quite understand.

The Human Resources Department is essentially Rhodes Island's recruitment center. For the Undead guy, recruitment is generally none of his business.

What do immortals know about recruitment?

"Because someone wants you to take a look at it for us."

Kal'tsit spoke slowly and deliberately, as if she had picked up a document from the side.

"She's a sorceress from Victoria. She came to Rhodes Island only to find someone."

The Undead paused for a moment, Kal'tsit's description reminding him of one of his disciples.

So the immortal asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Heavenly Fire?"

"You actually know her? I thought that sentence in her report was made up."

This time, it was Kal'tsit's turn to be surprised.

"Has it been a while since I looked at your resume? Has your information been updated?"

"I go."

Upon hearing about the Heavenly Fire, the Undead instantly lost all interest in continuing his conversation with Kal'tsit.

Where?

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you. Let's go together."

"I'm in the medical ward, outside Froststar's ward."

"Wait for me, I'll be right there."

...

Tianhuo didn't know why he had ended up in the training ground.

She clearly just wanted to come to Rhodes Island to ask if this person existed.

But when she mentioned the Undead, the Rhodes Island operatives in the personnel department immediately crossed their arms and rested their chins on their hands as if facing a formidable enemy.

They asked her about her relationship with the immortals and where she came from.

Tianhuo could only tell them with a look of surprise that he was a disciple of the Undead and came from Victoria.

After obtaining permission to transfer the Undead's resume, the personnel department staff discovered that the Undead had indeed stayed in Victoria for a period of time, and that Skyfire's description of the Undead's appearance and personality was basically accurate.

So he quickly dialed Kal'tsit's emergency contact number.

After the negotiation, Skyfire vaguely saw Rhodes Island operators hand her a form.

"This is a job application from Rhodes Island. Information about Mr. Undead is a top-secret information within the island. If you would like to learn more, it would be best to become an external operator for Rhodes Island."

The HR staff seemed to realize that their request was somewhat abrupt, and immediately said...

"However, Ms. Skyfire, please rest assured that this contract has no legal force. It merely serves as a bridge for your cooperation with Rhodes Island. If necessary, Rhodes Island will apply to hire you, and you can choose to accept or decline."

Tianhuo didn't know why she was being taken so seriously when she was just asking someone, but she still ended up owing this agreement.

After all, there were no mandatory requirements in the agreement; it was just a guarantee that Skyfire would not leak Rhodes Island's information.

Right after signing the contract, Tianhuo was vaguely dragged to take some kind of onboarding test.

Then they were taken to this enormous place.

Just above the arena, behind a one-way glass window, the Undead and Kal'tsit stood together, looking down at the skyfire.

"Is it her?"

The doctor looked down at the skyfire, then looked up back at the Undead.

“If I didn’t know what kind of person you are, I would really think you have some kind of special fetish.”

Amiya covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter for a while, and even Kal'tsit, unusually, curled her lips into a slight smile.

"?" The Undead looked at the Doctor with confusion.

What is he saying?

"Melantha, Kroos, this Miss Skyfire, and that one in Kazimierz... what was her name again?"

The professor counted on his fingers, but suddenly got stuck when he thought of the little knight.

Fortunately, Amiya added a comment from the side.

"Maria!"

"Ah, yes, yes. The youngest daughter of the Nearl family, Maria Nearl."

Perhaps it's because the recent issues have been mostly resolved, and the paperwork has also come to an end.

The doctor today looks very different from his usual calm and reliable self.

"Look at all the disciples you've chosen, they're all young and lively girls?"

"..."

This wasn't the first time the Undying had heard someone ask him this question.

If you ask why, even the dead don't know.

So he chose to remain silent.

Skyfire successfully passed several of Rhodes Island's basic tests in the training ground below.

Considering her research on Originium and the fact that she could provide Rhodes Island with much academic assistance, Kal'tsit wisely approved her application in the physiological tolerance category.

Aside from that, Skyfire can be considered a genius specializing in Originium magic.

Especially in fire-based Originium magic, the use of flames by Heavenly Fire is simply amazing.

Even Amiya and Kal'tsit occasionally exclaimed in surprise.

This was the strongest user of fire-based Originium magic they had ever seen, aside from the Undead and Talulah.

Moreover, judging from Tianhuo's expression, it seems that these spells are not her limit.

It's hard to imagine how much destructive power the Heavenly Fire could unleash if she were required to use her full strength.

However, what satisfied the Undead the most was not how powerful the Heavenly Fire was.

Throughout the entire experiment, none of the assistants who approached the fire experienced any discomfort, and none of the papers placed below caught fire.

This means that Tianhuo has been able to control the temperature around her body, which also means that she has been able to control the gift given to her by the Undead.

The fire of magic.

When Tianhuo, who was being tested below, was halfway through the test, she unconsciously looked up at the wall.

The body, which was originally relaxed, suddenly tensed up.

After completing the test, Tianhuo returned to the personnel department's office.

However, to her surprise, a familiar figure was waiting for her in the office.

As soon as Tianhuo pushed open the door, he saw a very familiar suit of armor on the sofa.

Hearing the door open, the Undead raised their heads and looked at Skyfire.

"Why did you come to Rhodes...?"

Before the Undead could finish speaking, Heavenly Fire pounced on him.

The soft flesh pressed against the cold armor, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

Tianhuo's cheeks were flushed, and she wrapped her arms around the Undead's neck; even her body was burning hot.

Unable to suppress the instinctive embrace, yet it was as forceful as if trying to mold oneself into the armor of an immortal.

"Teacher...please help me."

A seductive voice rang in the ears of the immortal. If a normal person heard it, their bones would probably melt.

The immortal was stunned for a moment, then realized that something was wrong.

The voice, brimming with magical power, was a signal of impending doom to the undead.

"Seduction? What are you learning, sir?"

Seeing Tianhuo's appearance, the Undead reached out, picked her up, and stood up, then threw her onto the sofa.

Skyfire stubbornly climbed up from the sofa and tried to get closer to the Undead, but the Undead pressed his head down with his hand.

Then, flames erupted from the immortal's palm and burst forth.

253. Small Problems

The fire of magic is itself a very dangerous thing.

Unlike the First Flame, even though it can be considered an item born from the First Flame, it has a very special function in a specific field.

The essence of the Flame of Cursed Arts is to achieve a state similar to the Primordial Flame through the study of flames, and the flame itself can be seen as a personification of life. In other words, the Flame of Cursed Arts is an extension of life.

Therefore, when the flames of magic malfunction, these issues will be directly reflected back to the user, affecting their physical and mental well-being.

To outsiders, Tianhuo's condition looked exactly like that of someone who had eaten something wrong or drunk too much.

But in reality, it's a very simple thing in the eyes of the immortals.

This guy has gone mad.

It's that simple; the state of the Heavenly Fire can be summarized in just one sentence.
