On April 30, another group of students were sent off from the academy, most of them fourth-year students, some even third-year, who were authorized in advance to go to the front. This time, the www.biquge.info will take a detour by water to go to Serves, the capital of Rhodes, and after Takehito transits in the capital of Rhodes, he will rush to the seaside defense line of Sunset Province. That day was the day Sun Guanglong was sent.

The college, which originally had few students, suddenly walked by a third of the way and became a lot more deserted. Edward and the other freshmen continued to practice swordsmanship and physical fitness as always, and Walter took a basic lesson in magic.

"Brother, be careful!" Arthur stabbed the practice sword over, Astran shouted, and Edward turned around, hurriedly dodged, parried, and flicked the sword back. Arthur exclaimed, "Hey, you can't sneak attack, what are you doing." ”

Edward sat down, and Arthur had to rest. Edward took the sword and looked up and down.

"This kind of sword is very common in Rhodes. Arthur wiped his sweat with a towel.

Edward was silent, thinking about the scene of Takehito's departure.

Being able to go to the front line made Takehito very excited. The night before his departure, he went to Edward's bedroom and called him out.

"Edward, I can see that you are a kind man. Wu Ren patted Edward on the shoulder and lowered his voice, "Listen to me, I'm about to go back to my hometown to fight on the front line, and for people like me, the people of Sunset Province who have been assimilated by Rhodes in their way of life, they are looked at differently in their hometown. Some people think it's an honor to be able to study at the Academy of Magic, and some people think it's going to be cannon fodder for the empire. But I've been locked up for the past few days, but I've figured it out. I am determined to use magic to kill the enemy, in exchange for the dignity that truly belongs to the descendants of the Rising Sun Empire!"

Edward smirked, thinking that there was no need to say these things to himself.

Takehito drew his sword, and Edward hurriedly took a step back.

"The same sword, Rhodes's swordsmanship, and the sword and stick of the Sunset Province should be used to drive away the invaders. Takehito put the sword back, and Edward secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Edward, do you believe that Sun Guanglong didn't kill anyone?" Seeing Edward nodding, Wu Ren showed a hint of a smile, "Great, that's enough......"

The caliber of the college's propaganda to the students is: After investigation, Wu Ren has nothing to do with the killing of Robert, Wu Ren went to the Sunset Province to go to the front, and Sun Guanglong is the murderer of Robert, has been expelled, and will be handed over to the court in the capital of Rhodes for trial, and does not tell everyone the fact that Sun Guanglong was transferred to Devil May Cry Mountain Prison.

Based on this, which is also Kierrod's suggestion, he believes that there are many advantages to announcing Sun Guanglong as a murderer, one is to confirm that Sun Guanglong is the murderer, not only is it consistent with the fact that the knife wound investigated by Hugo at the beginning came from a traditional knife, but also the students don't care about the classmates in Sunset Province in the first place, they don't really care about them, they don't care about the details, and the case can be closed; on the other hand, the murderer is brought to justice, so that the remaining students can really study and live with peace of mind, and more importantly, the Dietrich family can no longer hold the academy accountable, so Sun Guanglong will go as a sacrifice, even if it may be the wronged murderer, it can be regarded as a bit of use value。

Takehito said firmly: "We have been wronged, misunderstood, and despised, but we will never betray our conscience. ”

"What exactly are you calling me out for?" asked Edward, confused.

Wu Ren thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said: "In order to verify one thing, the Rhodes people are not all bastards, and the people of Sunset Province should use their own hands to gain respect. Thank you for respecting me and Sun Guanglong. After speaking, he bowed, raised his head, and added: "Look, in a few years, I will change the empire's opinion of Ruori Province." ”

"Edward, are you listening to me?" Arthur's words interrupted Edward's recollection, "really, how are you so absent-minded today. ”

Edward raised his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's continue to practice the sword." ”

Astraan and Edward attacked and defended, and between offense and defense, Edward picked out Astraan's sword and put it on Astraan's neck.

"Lost again. Astran muttered, throwing away his sword, "Starving." ”

Edward shrugged his shoulders and said, "You guy, according to the people of Sunset Province, how do you look like a starving ghost reincarnated." ”

Astraan's eyes widened, he looked around nervously, and put his index finger to his lips: "Brother, be quiet! I don't want to be treated as an outlier by others because I get too close to the people of Sunset Province." ”

Edward felt uncomfortable at this hearing, and he lay down and looked at the sky, which was blue and blue, and a trace of clouds drifted by. He reached out and imagined himself grasping the cloudy, the shadow of his palm covering his face.

"Astrand, why do you say that people should be ranked? The Rhodes look down on the people of Sunset Province, and feel that the citizens of the defeated country deserve to be enslaved. Is this necessarily true? Even within the empire, nobles, fiefdom knights, exiled knights, peasants, merchants, everyone was divided into hierarchies. A thought flowed through Edward's mind, "It suddenly occurred to me that magic is an equal right given to people by the gods. You see, no matter what province you come from, if you have the talent, you can go to the academy to study magic. ”

"What do you want to say?" Astran wondered.

Edward shook his head, he was still young, the thoughts just now were fleeting and could not be expressed, he stood up: "I was just wondering, if we don't have a talent for magic, will we become vagabonds, and we will be looked down upon as well." Haha, forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much, let's go to the elemental practice class. ”

"I can't walk. Brother carry me. Astraan gasped. Edward slapped Astran on the back of the head: "You guy, tell you to keep exercising, now you know the importance of exercise! Go by yourself! Not a child!"

Elemental practice classes run through the entire life of a magician. From the beginning of the freshman training at the Academy of Magic to the end of graduation, there will be courses of corresponding level and difficulty.

When Edward and Astraan arrived at the training ground, Year 3 Class 2 and Year 1 Class 1 were practicing.

"Look! Whoa!" said Edward, with his mouth wide open, pointing at a girl in the distance, her chestnut hair draped over her shoulders, her pale face, and her slender hands raised in the air. Not far from the girl, a pile of dirt rolled around, slowly turning into a small ball, and the ball was bulging and getting bigger and bigger.

"Stop, Alice!" exclaimed Master Akiyama.

The ball grew bigger and bigger than Edward's head. The dirt ball was in the air, yes, Edward rubbed his eyes, and the dirt ball hung in the air, slowly moving in his direction.

Alice's face was getting paler, her chestnut hair was sticking to her cheeks, wet, and it was clear that she was sweating a lot. She frowned and said with difficulty: "I don't, I can ......"

"Stop, Alice, you can't ......" Master Akiyama shouted on crutches, "Get down, everyone!"

The dirt ball spun up, the speed was getting faster and faster, Edward's intuition was wrong, and he quickly lay down, but it was too late, the dirt ball was like a burst watermelon, and the dirt smashed in all directions, and with the screams of his classmates, Edward was hit by a piece of dirt and fell to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Arthur shook Edward, who spat a few mouthfuls of saliva with the smell of earth in his mouth, nose and ears.

"Believe it or not, the first thing I'm going to conquer is the Earth Elemental!" Edward said angrily, "Look how dare it smash me again!"

Seeing that he was fine, everyone burst out laughing.

Alice was supported under the shade of the tree, and the girls surrounded her, and Master Akiyama looked serious and admonished: "Listen, magic is very draining, you can't force yourself, you just wanted to summon the earth element, right? With your current magic power, you can't do it." It's good that I wasn't summoned just now, otherwise it would have gone berserk. ”

"I'm not reconciled...... I'm going to avenge Shylock!" Alice cried, grabbing her hair, "but I'm useless, I'm useless......"

Several girls helped Alice back to the dormitory to rest, and Master Akiyama looked at the backs of the girls, and after a long while, he turned around and said, "Remember, don't try magic beyond your limits. He looked at Edward and pointed to an area of the training ground, "You just said that you want to conquer the earth element, so let's establish a connection with the earth elemental first." Sit back, calm down, and feel the breath of the earth. ”

Edward patted the dirt off his body and sat cross-legged. He closed his eyes and felt carefully. He felt the dampness of the ground, it was the rain that had just fallen the other day, it was uncomfortable on the ass, and his pants were a little against his skin. He felt the scorching heat of the sun, and after the rain passed the day, the sun was like a wind out of prison, giving full play to its heat. He felt sweat dripping down his neck and an itch on his neck. He crooked his neck.

"Concentrate!" Master Akiyama's voice came into his ears, "Feel it, the earth element is relatively gentle, and it is willing to be close to people. ”

Edward focused again, his eyes were pitch black, the sound of running water around him, the voices of his classmates fading away, he seemed to have entered a space, it was still pitch black all around, but the sound was ......

"Brother, don't sleep!" Astran nudged him.

"Don't make any noise!" Edward shouted angrily to Astraan.

He closed his eyes again and felt the temperature of the land. Something climbed up his back, little by little, slowly climbing up. Very well, a little dirt obeys my call, and comes up again, to my shoulder. When he opened his eyes, he fell to the ground and screamed, "Wow!

Edward wiped his nose angrily, phew, he spat out a little bit of dirt left in his mouth, deflated, leaned over, and watched the seniors practice boredly.
