Today, the team members arrived in full force. Even Mr. Kosith, who had been clearing corruption in the Hawke Street area northwest of the city, remained in the office.

"Mr. Kosith, has the corruption area in Hawke Street been completely cleared?" Leyton asked curiously, seeing all the team members sitting in their respective positions, and addressing Mr. Kosith, who was closest to him.

"It's almost cleared. All that's left is to recover the characteristics. The Church of the Earth Mother doesn't need our help with that." Mr. Kosith rarely smiled.

"By the way, how are those books I assigned you coming along?" Mr. Kosith asked, remembering the task he had given Leyton.

"Uh, I've read some. I can already use Dragonese, Hermes, and Ancient Hermes proficiently, as well as the commonly used Dutanese and Feysac." Leyton answered reflexively, as if being checked on his homework by a teacher.

"Well, very good. Start with various languages. This will make it easier for you to read many untranslated books." Mr. Kosith nodded, satisfied.

"Haha, right? That's what I thought too." Leyton felt that the term 'forced smile' perfectly described his current state.

Leyton could only regret in his heart why he had to ask Mr. Kosith when there were so many people in the office.

Fortunately, Mr. Kosith didn't intend to keep pressing the matter. He only made a few comments and then stopped discussing the topic of reading. Leyton immediately fled from Mr. Kosith's side.

Back in his seat, he stroked the rabbit while discussing its ideas for new magic tricks with Bugs Bunny.

That's right, this curious and performance-loving rabbit was no longer limited to the few tricks attached to the Great Magician's Top Hat. It was already thinking about developing new magic tricks through this seal.

At Leyton's suggestion, Bugs Bunny used the Apprentice pathway's door-opening ability, which was solidified on the hat by the seal, to perform a rabbit-transformation magic trick on Leyton's desk.

Leyton couldn't help but admire the rabbit's thought process. The first thing it thought of when it came up with this magic trick was to crawl into the hat itself, instead of trying other things first.

This hat had a weakness after being sealed: it couldn't have books placed inside it. As soon as a book was placed in the hat, the seal would immediately turn into an ordinary hat, and no abilities could be used.

Leyton could only sigh in his heart, "Knowledge makes even hats degenerate!"

"Does this rabbit still have the abilities of the Apprentice pathway?" Jessica asked curiously, seeing the rabbit-transformation scene.

"No, this is the hat's ability." Leyton shook his head and explained.

"This hat is actually a mystical item? No, should I say, you actually let a rabbit wear a mystical item as a hat?" Jessica felt that she understood this new member of the team less and less.

"The abilities of this mystical item are too weak. It's useless to me, but it's just right for it." Leyton explained.

As the Mystery Pryer pathway advanced to Melee Scholar, Leyton's control over his body had greatly improved. The only useful effect of this seal for Leyton had become weak. Although this seal had many effects, none of them were strong.

"Tsk tsk~ I didn't expect our little Leyton to be a hidden rich man!" Sia also leaned lazily in her chair and teased.

"This is my only mystical item, and it's still weak, only good for rabbits to play with." Leyton said speechlessly.

"But I don't even have one mystical item! It's really heartbreaking." Jessica said sadly.

Leyton felt that the only two ladies in the team were both drama Empress Borough. He didn't expect that even Jessica, who was like a big sister next door, was like this.

"It must be Sia who corrupted her." Leyton muttered in his heart.

"Don't mutter about me in your heart! I can tell!" Jessica said softly.

The expression on Leyton's face froze instantly, feeling so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment here. There was nothing more embarrassing than being caught muttering about someone in your heart.

"Do you usually use the abilities of a Telepathist like this?" This time, Leyton didn't mutter in his heart, but said it out loud.

"Observing others is an instinct, hard to restrain, just like Readers like to answer people's questions." Jessica accurately complained about everyone in the Executor team except herself.

"And the curiosity of the Mystery Pryer, the Marauder's reluctance to leave empty-handed, the Seer's need to divine before making a decision... it seems that every pathway has some habits engraved in its instincts." Leyton's thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Did my words remind you of something?" Jessica asked curiously.

"I just suddenly thought of a saying: If a Seer doesn't divine, they won't know whether to step out with their left or right foot first." Leyton suddenly thought of the complaints about Seers.

"A very interesting saying. Although I've only met two Seers in total, they are indeed like that." Jessica nodded in agreement with this statement.

"Seer? What pathway is that? How come I've never heard of it?" Josie leaned over curiously and asked.

"The Seer pathway is mainly controlled by the Secret Order. The Church of the Evernight Goddess also has a small number of Seers. You should usually read more relevant information in the church." Joseph, who loved to study, answered Josie's question.

"Hey, how did you live out the feeling of an old age at such a young age?" Josie said with a sigh.

Joseph was deeply hurt by Josie's words. The two of them then began a debate in the office about whether it was better to love learning or to love life.

Everyone else in the team turned into onlookers, watching the excitement. Sia and Jessica, the two ladies, even occasionally added fuel to the fire.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's play a game. I just thought of a fun idea." Leyton interrupted the team's gossiping and being gossiped about.

"What game?" Jessica's attention was immediately diverted when games were mentioned.

Josie and Joseph, who had been provoked to the point of almost losing control, breathed a sigh of relief. They had long realized that they were being used as entertainment by Sia and Jessica.

"I call it Werewolf Killing." Leyton said with a mysterious look.

"Then how will you be willing to tell us? Do you want to communicate with Jessica and me separately? It's not impossible, but you can only choose one at a time!" Old driver Sia accidentally pulled Leyton into the car.

"No! No! I'll say it now." Leyton shook his head repeatedly.

"What? Are you looking down on people? Or are you looking down on our Jessica?" Sia seemed determined to say something shocking.

Bugs Bunny, who was playing rabbit-transformation on the table, only had one head sticking out of the hat as an onlooker, while his lower body was hidden in the desk drawer through the hat's door-opening effect.

Leyton opened the drawer under the table and pulled the rabbit out: "Stop hiding, you'll be the referee later!"

"Let me explain the game rules first!" Leyton began to change the subject.

"Don't change the subject! You haven't answered my question yet!" Sia said with a smile.

"Ah? What did you say? My ears just went blind and didn't see it." Leyton chose to play dead between Sia and Jessica's anger.

"Heh~ How boring!" Sia said disdainfully.

"Although the technique of changing the subject is a bit poor, it did allow you to muddle through." Jessica also looked at Leyton with a smile.

"Haha~" Leyton could only laugh and reach out to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
