I tell you I am truly fond of you now. I guess you can see that," the woman offered, and surely, those words made Austin agape with wonder.
Although his eyes had been furtively catching glimpses of her cleavage, he did not expect the woman to present herself in such an unreserved and prurient manner. Adding to his surprise and embarrassment, the woman winked at him, reassuring him about her intentions.
He thought of what he had heard from a friend when he was living on earth, that some mature women had a unique taste for younger and inchoate men. It was said that hanging out with a guy who was younger than herself would give the woman a strange and special excitement.
"I want to apply for the evaluation test," Austin said shyly.
A sensual and beautiful woman who wore transparent and scanty dresses like her would inevitably attract any young, unmarried man like Austin. His heart clearly burned with hot passion and his blood pumped fast in his veins seeing the woman's sexy and curvaceous body and seductive eyes.
After a few minutes, he finally managed to compose himself. This was hardly the time for such passionate dreams. He instantly reminded himself of the business he actually came here for. He thought that if a diabolic beast of the Sunset Mountain was the target of attack in the evaluation, then it was better to participate in the test and find out what kind of a beast it was.
His mind came to a conclusion that by applying for the recruitment, he would surely get the information he needed. As for enlisting for the Tiger Mercenary Team, he felt he could decide about that after seeing where the whole situation would take him when the evaluation test ended. He could consider joining the team if it was a worthy place to stay.
"You are indeed a crazy boy," the woman uttered in wonder.
She had no right to reject a person's application. With hopelessness, she looked at him. She could not stop him or do anything except feel pity for Austin's life.
From the drawer of her desk, she took out a token and handed it over to Austin.
Then she started giving him instructions. "It looks like you didn't take any of my word into consideration. If you so insist, then I have to accept your wish, even if it is a death wish. Here is the token that you will need for your evaluation test. Take it with you and go to those houses over there. There are numbers on the door of each room. Find the house whose numbers match with those on your token.
And there is another thing. Before you enter that house, you need to find someone who is willing to fight the beast as your teammate. After finding a partner, you can enter that house with him. Remember, there is an eighth-level diabolic beast locked up in there. It is very anxious to tear up something to release its fury from the time it has been imprisoned.
Keep it in mind! It is not that you will just be killed if you get defeated. That is when this token comes in handy. Smash the token immediately, and my people will come to rescue you at once. This token is the last straw you can hold onto," the woman instructed.
"Duly noted! And thanks," Austin thanked for her detailed explanation.
Then he turned around and took leave.
Holding the token in his hand, he studied it carefully. It looked like it was made of jade, and there were some exquisite, delicate engravings on the surface.
What amazed Austin more was the carving of a tiger at the back of the token, which was emanating streaks of mysterious soft green light.
With the token in his hand, Austin headed towards the direction of the houses as the woman instructed. The houses were at the other end of the square, and he could see that there were five of them in sight.
At the door of each house, there were already dozens of applicants gathered around and waiting for their turn to get into the house.
