Most of these students have reached the level of beginner or intermediate swordsmen under his rigorous training, and in just two years, it is already gratifying to be able to achieve such teaching results. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's just some idiot in Sunset Province, it's a shame on me. "When William thought of swordsmanship, he reflexively thought of Sun Guanglong, who was famous in the academy, and this guy had always used traditional knives.
In the 12th year of the imperial calendar and the 32nd year of the Yellow Dragon Calendar of the Rising Sun Empire, the Rising Sun Empire was destroyed by the Rhodes Empire, and two-thirds of the area was established as the Sunset Province, which was a special province of the Rhodes Empire, and one-third of the area was classified as the Kingdom of Orlando for historical reasons, and the Kingdom of Orlando became the Province of Orlando after being destroyed by the Rhodes Empire. The administrative executive of the Sunset Province was appointed by the Rhodes Empire, and the province was bilingual: the official language of the province was Rhodes, or the continental lingua franca developed on the basis of Rhodes and Meno languages, and the unofficial language within the province was the "Huanglong language" evolved from the "Asahi Japanese" of the former Rising Sun Empire. For more than 600 years, the Huanglong language has been so different from Asahi Japanese that most people in the modern Sunset Province cannot read the ancient books written in Asahi Japanese. Since Rhodes and the continental lingua franca are spoken on the mainland, more and more people in Sunset Province are reluctant to learn Huanglong in order to work and survive. There are still some people in the province who have been following the ancestral teachings and want to restore the country, so there are often various forms of civil war between the Restorationists and the conservatives. Judging from the characteristics of Sun Guanglong's skillful use of traditional knives, it is very likely that he is a Fuguoist.
If such a dangerous person learns magic, will it cause harm to the Empire, and should the descendants of the Rising Sun Empire learn magic? These are all topics of debate between the Magic Council and the Ministry of War. Eventually, at the insistence of Master Akiyama, two descendants of the Rising Sun Empire, Sun Guanglong and Takehito, entered the academy, and when William met the two, the two had already enrolled and were now third-year students.
"This stubborn brat, why didn't he graduate and go to war earlier. He couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart, "Anyway, the swordsmanship evaluation is e-, which is hopeless, so as not to let me be told that I am not strictly taught." ”
He smiled bitterly to himself, called a carriage for Master Akiyama, and the two of them rode together on the campus and toured the campus.
The Imperial Capital Academy of Magic is divided into seven areas: the garden is located in the center of the academy and provides a resting place for teachers and students, the north side of the garden is the administrative area, which is used for the daily office of the principal and administrative officials and major political receptions, the northeast side of the garden is the auditorium, where major ceremonies are often held, and the east side of the garden is the cultural teaching area, as a qualified student of the magic academy, in addition to learning magic and swordsmanship, he also has to learn the necessary language, philosophy, History and other cultural knowledge, and the east side of the teaching area is connected to the front porch of flowers and trees, which is the gate of the college. The southeast of the garden is the simulated combat training area, which is divided into a sword training area, a magic training area, and a physical training area. The west side of the garden is the student dormitory, and the northwest side of the garden is the Opao Mountain, which encloses the administrative area from the west to the north of the dormitory, and the south side of the dormitory is the Kanas River, which flows from a distance, enclosing the training area, and flowing to the southeast, so some students often joke that the dormitory is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The whole college is divided around the garden, with the aim of creating a beautiful environment where teachers and students must walk through the garden and relax the tension.
April 16, 100 years of the imperial calendar. Everywhere is full of the smell of spring: the warm air is mixed with the scent of flowers and plants, and the birds chirp in the branches. It's break time, and students are gathered on the lawn.
"Haha, Alice, send the bento quickly, come on!" Several girls surrounded the girl named Alice, who had beautiful blonde hair and crystal pink skin, and her face was flushed, and she held the bento tightly to her chest and pursed her mouth.
A boy named Shylock with a handsome face, as a graduate of the Academy of Magic, will celebrate his graduation ceremony today, and then go to the front line to repel the brutal Polar invaders. At this time, Shylock was also so shy that his face was flushed, not like a recruit who was about to start killing the enemy.
"What are you shy about! If you don't confess, Shylock will go to the front!" The brown-haired girl pushed her, and Alice staggered forward and poured the lunch on Shilllock's head, and everyone laughed, and Shylock was not angry, but smiled innocently and wiped the cake off his head.
"It's a beautiful sight. He couldn't help but sigh. Master Akiyama touched his beard and said to him, "If there is no war, I really hope that such a beautiful scenery will become eternal." Instructor William. ”
He nodded and replied respectfully, "What Master Akiyama said is extremely true, those young boys and girls will soon face the cruel battlefield, and how many of them will come back alive." ”
After looking at the time, the two hurried to the college's auditorium in a carriage.
"I heard that it was Podolik Shaozo who came to pick up the graduates today. Master Akiyama frowned, William did not have a good impression of this fat-headed and big-eared officer, and many people secretly called him "Tumbler" - because of his tactfulness, he became a wallgrass, and for this reason he was highly used by the upper echelons of the Imperial Military Department, but his reputation in private was very poor.
"This tumbler is really related to the wizarding world. He said without hesitation, Master Akiyama laughed, suddenly the horse neighed, the car jolted, the coachman screamed, he hurriedly helped Master Akiyama.
The carriage finally stopped. He walked down angrily and shouted to the coachman, "How do you drive, Master Akiyama is old, you can't toss like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two children of 15 or 6 years old sitting in front of the carriage.
He helped up the short-haired boy, who had a baby face and blond hair, and his green eyes glowed like jewels, and he looked delicate in his childishness, and he must be a beautiful man in the future. He thought about it, should he find a woman to marry, and then have such a handsome child.
"I'm sorry, it's us who didn't do it!" the short-haired boy quickly bowed and apologized. What a polite child, he likes it more and more.
Akiyama stepped out of the car: "Are you two new friends?"
"Yes, old man, my name is Astraan," the short-haired teenager bowed politely, "this is my brother Edward. ”
"I thought I was going to be hit and killed, but I was saved!" Edward Gu wiped his cold sweat. Edward was also a blonde teenager, the difference was that he wore a ponytail, and although his goose egg face still looked a little childish, his brown eyes also sparkled like jewels.
"What a rude fellow!" he scolded himself, "are these two brothers half-brothers? ”
Astraan grumbled and said, "It's all to blame Brother Edward, who told you to oversleep on the ship, causing us to miss the carriage to the academy when we got to the docks, and almost got into trouble when we came running." ”
Edward pouted: "Aren't you asleep too! Really, the opening ceremony is about to begin, let's go and report quickly!"
"Are you freshmen? Come with us in a carriage. Akiyama laughed.
"Thank you, old man!" Edward smiled, straightening his ponytail.
"Bastard, call Master Akiyama!" he scolded.
"Hahaha," Akiyama waved his hand, "This is William, the swordsmanship instructor, and I'm Akiyama who teaches wood magic, welcome!" Akiyama touched his goatee on crutches, and the two children immediately stood in awe.
The four of them got into a carriage and came to the auditorium, and the opening ceremony began.
