The island illusion that you can enter with the badge is connected to most of the training equipment and data towers of the Victor Command Academy, and although Morin doesn't know exactly what magic is involved in this training badge and how it is made, it doesn't prevent him from understanding its preciousness:

By activating the badge, you can train or access your data anytime, anywhere.

Even if he was in Illuvita, thousands of miles away from Victor Academy.

It's no wonder that the freckled girl, Talisa, insisted that he owe a rare aquamarine bubble fish in exchange.

It's just that...... Using this training badge was too mana for him, Mo Lin thought with a slight pain, he didn't dare to rub it off when he entered the island illusion, and came directly to the trial ladder.

Thinking that after paying more than 3,000 professional taxes for the card, he would at least have a period of time without worrying about gold coins and be able to devote himself to command training, but he thought about breaking through the sixtieth step of the trial ladder as soon as possible to obtain enough permission to check the remaining content of Daddy Pike's record card - the Battle of the Blood Moon.

The boy was eager to know what kind of friendship Papa Pike had made with the nobles of the Gessock Empire, so that those classmates were still rejecting him from what happened thirty years ago, and why Daddy mentioned the Battle of the Blood Moon during the summer vacation with such a vague and complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, when he used the badge for the first time, he was forced to kick out after only half an afternoon of training.

After checking it, the boy was horrified to find that the reason why he was kicked out was actually the exhaustion of his magic power!

And not only has the magic power in his body been exhausted, but even the small puddle of magic power in the magic space that has just been filled with a small half has dried up, which is worth the magic power equivalent to three or four hundred Gessok gold coins, which is only enough for half an afternoon!

It's just a burn......

But burning money is burning money, although helpless, after all, this is the only way to find out the past of the Battle of the Blood Moon, Morin had to fill the small puddle with magic again and again and use the badge to train, so he soon owed his friends a lot of debt.

But then again, wouldn't it be a few breaths of time to be drained if you changed to an ordinary second-order legal position with no small puddles, the young man thought a little depressedly.

I don't know if the bearded Professor Bolburn gave him this badge to use for himself, and he is still so unsafe in doing things at such an old age.

If Professor Bolburn of Victor College heard Morin's thoughts at this time, he would probably be so angry that he scolded him on the spot for having his eyes on his nose, and then pointed to a not-so-obvious buckle on the back of the badge and roared, seeing that this is the card slot of the magic crystal card, since this badge can be used by junior students, it is naturally supplied with magic power through the magic crystal card!

It's just that the mana consumed doesn't decrease, and even if Merlin finds out that the buckle won't help his debts much.

The boy adjusted his state and entered the trial ladder.

This time, he went straight to the sixtieth floor.

After this period of intense training, he successfully advanced his best record from the 55th to the 60th floor.

Thanks to the step-by-step practice plan that Captain Orlan had set up for himself, his command against the Nightmare Beasts had steadily improved. In addition, Mr. Honorom's Trial Tower Survival Foundation and Chaos Forest Survival were also very helpful, and the Ranger Uncle explained the characteristics of many types of Nightmare Beasts in these two classes, making it easier for Merlin to command the simulated soldiers to resist the attacks of the Nightmare Beasts.

Especially those powerful mutant nightmare beasts, even if they can't be clearly categorized, the teenager can observe their characteristics through the knowledge he has learned to deduce their weaknesses, and use targeted tactics to round them up.

The sixtieth floor of the Trial Illusion was still surrounded by a thick white mist.

In the middle of a large open field, gathered nearly five thousand soldiers of different levels of strength, according to the division of the squad phalanx, the troops basically belong to the common arms of human beings, from the weakest first-order pikemen to the fifth-order magic longbowmen, and a few sixth- and seventh-order powerful giant bear warriors, guarding the bright flame of order on the altar in the center of the open land layer by layer.

Five thousand soldiers in battle, equivalent to the number of a full corps, thinking of Baron's wish to be the commander of the corps, Morin couldn't help but have a mysterious smile on his face: "Hmm...... Now I'm the Corps Commander Morin, and the Corps Commander Morin, this title is very loud......."

These are all the forces he has accumulated all the way from the first level, in order to hit the sixtieth level of the pass, he has tried his best not to waste a soldier since the first level, and he thinks that he has reached the current limit.

He began to line up, and then howls began to be heard in the distance from the white mist around him.

The trial began.

……

Thousands of miles to the south, a sunny island.

The island of Victor Academy, located off the coast of Lothar, is still warm even in winter, and in the bright and intoxicating sun of noon today, most of the students will find a corner where they can get a squint and squint comfortably, and Talisha originally planned to do so, still wearing the magic hair ornament that conceals her freckles, and is spreading a pink fluffy blanket on the sunny grassy slope with two friends.

This grassy slope can be basked with both the sun and the sea breeze, and they plan to rest here for a while and enjoy some dessert, the intensity of the recent classes and training has been really tiring.

But before they could lay out the blanket, Talisa suddenly exclaimed as if she had been bitten by a bug, and the corner of the blanket in her hand fell to the ground, knocking over a small basket of strawberry cake.

"Tully, what's going on?!" asked a girl next to her.

"No, not much. Talisa's face flushed slightly.

She squatted down and tidied it up, picked up the corner of the blanket and pulled it, and stumbled to reply, "I was startled when I saw a strange-looking bug." ”

"It's bugs again!, why have you been so surprised lately!" the other girl complained.

"Who made so many bugs these days!" said Talisa, a little annoyed.

Seeing the disbelieving looks on her partners' faces, she rolled her eyes and snorted, "There are so many bugs here, I won't rest! I'm going to the training ground, and we'll see you in the afternoon battle formation theory!"

After saying that, she didn't care about her two partners, turned around and ran.

"Eh, wait, these desserts ......"

The partner wanted to say something, but Talisa didn't stop, and soon left her partner's voice far behind the sea breeze.

She ran all the way to the busiest training ground in the center of the island, and saw people coming and going, so she slowed down.

"That rude guy has actually started to challenge the sixtieth floor......" she muttered quietly, her expression mixed with shock, anger and a hint of curiosity, "It's obvious that the mage is not good at learning magic in Iluvita, but he actually practices conducting every day, and so many training programs only have a soft spot for the trial ladder, what a guy who is not doing his job...... Hmph......"

Although her training badge was lent to Morin, she was still the owner of the badge and could still perceive the general usage of it.

Thinking of that guy and remembering that her blue crystal bubble fish would not be available until she knew when she could get it, Talisa's face darkened again.

She walked to a crowded corner, raised her hand and adjusted her magic hair ornament to change her appearance slightly, and then came to a large metal monument on the edge of the training ground and looked up.

This huge metal monument is shining with gray light, attracting a lot of attention from the surrounding area.

It is the Monument of Honor of Victor Academy, which has stood on the edge of the training ground in the center of the island since the establishment of Victor Academy in the year of the Cold Moon, and only the best cadets can leave their names on it, and every time the monument is lit up, it indicates that a new name may appear on it.

The onlookers were discussing in a low voice:

"The Monument of Honor lights up with a white light, which honor record ...... it represents?"

"It's supposed to be a ladder of trials. ”

"Wow, that very difficult trial ladder, there are actually seniors who have begun to hit the sixtieth layer, it's really amazing!" A young student exclaimed: "Although battle chaos is our compulsory practice, I just don't like this kind of training." ”

"Yes, I also prefer the magic chess between the order classes, the command of the trial ladder and chaotic combat is too tiring, and it is tiring to face those tide-like nightmare beasts even thinking about it, not to mention that my own soldiers are exhausted and they have to be killed by those nightmare beasts, which is really terrifying. Another young student said with trepidation:

"Alas, I couldn't even pass the twenty-level trial, if only I could have crossed the sixty-step before graduation. ”

"Ha, then you have to work hard!" Another senior senior's voice interjected: "If you can complete the sixtieth floor of the trial ladder before graduation and leave your name on it, it is not ordinary, and among the dozens of graduates of the academy every year, only a few of the most powerful on the trial ladder can leave their names on this honorary monument." ”

At this time, the names outlined by golden lines were already lit up on the gray and white obetally, and the senior senior pointed to the upper position in the middle of the obeli and said: "Like Captain Oran, who has just graduated, he has entered this record with a seventy-eighth rank before, ranking one hundred and two. ”

"One hundred and two...... It doesn't seem very high......" a freshman whispered.

These words obviously aroused the anger of the crowd, and everyone glared at the pink freshman and said: "It has been hundreds of years since the academy set up the trial ladder, and there are only a few hundred names on the record of the Monument of Honor's ability to fight against chaos, and it is already very powerful to be able to leave a name on it, let alone rank more than a hundred! You kid go and experience the trial ladder first, when will you break through the twentieth step and then speak! I really don't know how high the sky ......."

"But why is the first place empty?" said another freshman, squinting at the top of the monument.

"Oh, that, it is said that it is to motivate everyone to work hard, so the first place has been vacant, so that those who are the best students should not be complacent......" The senior explained "However, only the first place in the record of the trial ladder on the Honor Monument is empty, and the specific reason is just guessed by everyone." ”

Listening to the discussion of the people around her, Talisa, who had changed her face, couldn't help but move to an inconspicuous place on the side.

She gets angry when she thinks of the guy named Morin.

"That hateful guy, obviously so powerful, when he came to the summer vacation, he pretended not to know anything, and he lost a bet with Grandpa Bolburn, and a blue crystal bubble fish in his hand disappeared like this, and I don't know what year it will take to catch one for that nasty guy......"

"But can this guy pass the level of the sixtieth floor......" She couldn't help but think, "It seems that there are not many students in the history of the academy who can leave a name for the Monument of Honor at such a young age......"

As he was wandering, a wandering golden thread suddenly appeared in the gray light of the metal obelisk.

"Success, success, success, let's see which senior it is?" There was a cheer around, and the appearance of a golden light meant that the challenge was successful, and this light would write the name of the challenger in the corresponding ranking position, and it would be engraved on the academy's honor monument forever.

But only Talisa knew that the person who was challenging the sixtieth floor was not an senior at all, but a half-hung mage of Iluvita's age and a half-hung member of the Silvertree team, Morin.

"That guy actually made it......"

Her eyes widened as she stared at the wandering golden thread.

The swift golden thread emerged from the spire of the stele and quickly swam to the bottom, stopping at the end of the Trials Ladder record, and slowly sketching out a new name—

Talisha Rowland.

"Talisha?!"

"Is that her?"

"That little girl actually passed the sixty floor?!"

"Oh my God! Is Tali so good?!"

"Impossible...... I saw her go to the beach to rest just now, but she secretly went to training? When did our naughty little princess become so diligent......

"Maybe that little girl found someone to help her with the ladder trial......" A senior senior approached the truth.

Listening to all the admiration and suspicion around her, Talisa's face flushed a little, and she quickly lowered her head and turned to leave.

She won't spread the word about losing a bet with someone else, lending her training badges to someone else.

But thinking about it, her name was actually recorded on the Monument of Honor by mistake, and there was a hint of smugness on Talisha's face, which could not be regarded as cheating, after all, she also lent that badge to that guy at the suggestion of Grandpa Bolburn.

Well...... It's not a shame for her.

At this moment, it seems that even the nasty guy doesn't seem so annoying.

But you also have to practice the ladder trial, otherwise you will be exposed when it comes to the assessment, and you will definitely be removed by the professor when the time comes...... Thinking that her name might not be able to stay on the Monument of Honor for long, Talisha pouted and walked to the training ground next to her......

That nasty guy can do it, why can't I......

At the southern tip of Victor Island, on a towering sea cliff.

The white-haired old man Bolburn was playing a mock war game with a mild-mannered middle-aged man, and between the two was a metal tablet with a small piece of simulated battlefield lit up, and countless troops on both sides were fighting fiercely.

They all had a black and white checkered figure on their robes, which was the emblem symbol of Victor House.

The battle was fierce, and the two of them seemed to be at the same level, both staring intently at the simulated battlefield in front of them.

But suddenly, the middle-aged man frowned.

Bolburne on the opposite side immediately showed joy, stared at the battlefield and said without raising his head: "This time my old man is going to win, but he was distracted during the battle, the young man just can't bear it, and he still needs to hone it!"

"That's what you've always taught. The middle-aged man on the opposite side shook his head and smiled: "I was really distracted just now, but your old command level in the academy has not fallen at all, if you go out of the mountain again, even if you don't serve in the War Council, at least you can still lead a legion on the front line of the four frontiers." ”

"It's not as easy as you say. Bolburn smiled: "I'm old, I don't have that momentum anymore." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and cleaned up his troops, which was considered to be a surrender.

"I just sensed that Talissa's girl has left her name on the Monument of Honor. He said.

"Hmm, which record did your little Tali meet?" Bolburn froze.

"Trial Ladder ......" The middle-aged man closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "This little girl is becoming more and more disagreeable, she actually cheats, where can her three-legged cat level reach the sixty layer, do you think everyone else is a fool." ”

He glanced at Bolburn helplessly: "It's all because you spoil that girl every day and don't let me discipline it, which is good."

"No, although little Tully is a little naughty, she is still very serious about doing things, how can she find someone to cheat on her behalf......" Bohr thought for a while, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Could it be that kid, but it's too fast......"

"Huh?"

"That's right, during the summer vacation, under my ......opinion," Bolburn recounted the previous events in detail, starting from the beginning of inviting the young man who was very talented in commanding but wanted to become a magician in the assessment, to the summer vacation when the other party came to communicate and entered the trial ladder, how he made a bet with Talisha and finally lent the training badge to the teenager.

"So that's the case...... the middle-aged man was a little interested:

"However, according to your old statement, that young man is only in the second year this year, and he is studying at the Iluvita Academy, and he can pass the test of the sixtieth layer of the trial ladder so quickly, this talent is indeed very rare......"

"I'll just say!" Bolburn said angrily, "I don't know what that kid thinks!"

"But didn't you say that he wasn't much interested in conducting attainments...... the middle-aged man quipped, "This has passed the sixty floors, no matter how good the talent is, it must have been a lot of hard work, what do you think of him, if he is interested in coming to our academy, I can go to the old fellow of Fielding to ask for someone." ”

"How do I know?!" Bolburn rolled his eyes, "We don't understand what the young people are thinking now, that kid swore to become a magician, and now he spends so much time on conducting exercises, oh, he's still a member of their Illuvita Silver Tree team!"

"He also came to participate in the mock chess competition during the summer vacation, and he also drew lots to play against Orlan," Bolburn said: "At that time, I saw that he had already entered the level of subtle awareness, and his fighting style was also quite sharp, quite like everyone, but the foundation was a little scattered and he didn't learn very systematically——"

"Huh?!" the middle-aged man interrupted Bolburn with a sudden low voice:

"That kid actually used the badge to check the information banned in the Blood Moon War! It's still the part that requires the highest permissions! No wonder he was in such a hurry to pass the trial ladder, it turned out to be to get access to the data!"

"Battle of the Blood Moon...... Are you saying that what happened to your southern side ...... the beginning?" Bolburn's expression became serious: "There were indeed too many strange things in the Battle of the Blood Moon at the beginning, and there seemed to be different big and small problems in the four borders, and it seemed that someone in the War Council was deliberately guiding......"

"Yes, in that case, there are still people who want to make small calculations, what a bastard!" said the middle-aged man.

"After the war, those parliamentarians also wanted to cover up a large amount of information, and it is no wonder that the younger generations are curious, the record card that the kid is consulting belongs to the ...... Huh, wait!" I don't know what he found, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up and asked, "What is the name of the young man you just mentioned?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's called Maureen, Maureen Callander. ”

"Callander, ......"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly swelled with many complicated gazes.

After a long time, he finally sighed: "I see, no wonder ......"

"How......" the old man wondered.

The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed: "Your old man has been leading troops in Northern Xinjiang for most of his life, and he has only come to the academy to teach in these years, so it is normal that he is not clear about the past events that happened in our south. ”

He sat down slowly, looked at the rolling waves in the distance on the sea cliff, and said slowly:

"The most controversial Legion Commander on our Southern Front in the Battle of the Blood Moon was Pike Callander. ”

"You mean ......?"

The middle-aged man nodded, his slightly closed eyes flashing with the brilliance of memories in the sun: "In the winter of the Battle of the Blood Moon, the commander of the Seventh Legion in the third batch of troops, Pike Calland, the commander from Lothar, I guess the kid you saw, Merlin, should be his child, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence." ”

"Alas, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye......," he sighed, "no wonder that kid has a talent for commanding......"

"At that time, Pike Callander was able to rank as the commander of the regiment at a young age, and his command attainments, especially in the chaos of battle, were unrivaled, and all the generals who had practiced with him were convinced, and it was really a magnificent and promising future...... It's a pity. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you know why the first place in the record of the trial ladder on the Monument of Honor is vacant, there was originally a name written there, but it was only erased after the Battle of the Blood Moon under the pressure of the Council that it was vacant. ”

"The master of that position is the student who has gone the farthest in the Fourth Age in the past eight hundred years, from the test of our academy to the present day, and soon after graduation, he was hailed as the genius commander of the griffon's shield. ”

"Parker Callander. ”
