After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World

Chapter 1177: More on Hirsuit Town

A few hours later, Rin sat in front of Doctor Volohov, who was looking at several pieces of paper. These were apparently his 'test results' from examinations he had breezed through the past few hours. 

Because the Lord herself sent him here, he was placed as the priority and passed several queues for the tests. 

Some of the queuing people looked badly at him, but then he hit a column and suddenly they looked at him pitifully. 

He had to stop a deep blush from creeping up his face.

While he admitted that he was unused to the look of pity rather than mockery, it didn't make it less embarrassing to be in this state. 

He wasn't always like this. Growing up, he took quite good pride in his reflexes, and he had been called dashing since he was young. He was on the rise in his hometown of Hirsuit, and had been counted as one of the most promising youths of their generation. 

It admittedly made him a bit arrogant and, at some point, he felt his hometown was suffocating. 

His Town had been stagnant for as long as he could remember. According to his grandfather, the last upgrade was before he (grandfather) was born—more than a hundred years prior. 

They also had so many rules that discouraged people from coming in, and only very rich merchants and strong mercenaries were allowed inside. If they wanted to settle down, there were a lot of requirements to be done, too.
