39. Academy
Even if a super genius who has cultivated his fighting spirit at the age of ten faces a senior swordsman who is forty or fifty years old, the senior swordsman will still start when it is time to start, and he will never let his opponent go because he is a child and a genius!
Therefore, Hughes came to the conclusion that no matter how strong a genius is, he will not be a top player until he becomes a peerless master, and there are guys in the world who are stronger than you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The top priority is to become strong as soon as possible and turn the word genius into a master, so that Xius will feel more at ease.
In fact, when Xiusi understood this truth in the actual battle, he never let go of his cultivation in the remaining twenty days of his trip.
Whenever horses and people began to get tired and needed to rest, Xius still practiced hard at the moment when he was most tired, turning the potential in his body into fighting energy little by little, and constantly breaking through the limits of his body.
This method was taught to Hughes by Viscount Gale when he was at home, and although he did so, he never noticed any great improvement. It was only during this long journey that he really grasped the thrill of surpassing everything, and the vindictiveness that was still growing slowly but improving every day. This discovery made him feel both excited and gratified, and he completely settled down and insisted on doing it every day, and never fell a day again.
"Since you're going to enter the academy, then I'll tell you about the situation of the academy, so that you don't have to go in and provoke others, and if you are cleaned up, even I can't speak for you. Lady Cynthia seemed to think of something, and frowned, looking a little worried.
Xiusi was stunned: "If you provoke others, you will be cleaned up, not so." ā
Hughes has always considered himself a proactive person. When he first arrived, it was too late to be careful, so how could he take the initiative to provoke others?
As if she knew what Hughes was thinking, Lady Cynthia shook her head and explained, "In the academy, it's not that if you don't cause trouble, trouble won't come. It's not that the people in it are not of good character, alas, the competition is fierce, and it can be regarded as the tradition of the academy!"
Theseus became interested. When he knew the origin of that section of the wall, he became very interested in this academy. With such a glorious history and tradition, there must be a huge amount of knowledge that he needs to work hard to acquire, not only in books, but also in practice, in stories, and in legends.
He changed his posture and sat upright, listening to his wife's story in a serious manner.
It turns out that it has been a thousand years since the college was built, and countless outstanding deans, teachers and outstanding students have added countless rules to the college within the 30-meter-high walls.
Most of these rules have been buried in the long river of history, but there are still dozens of them that have persisted and become a spirit, a tradition, which has not been easily worn away by time, and still plays an important role until now.
Even after many unthinkable things happened, they slowly became unchangeable traditions in the evolution of history, and although they were never written into the official rules, they have been silently adhered to from the leaders to the students.
Like, College Wars!
There is an unwritten rule among the students of the Royal Family Warrior Academy that newly admitted students must choose a student force in the academy to join, without exception. Unruly guys will be cleaned up by members of all forces. At least he is contemptuous, his mouth is not inferior, and at worst he is beaten, even if he is beaten and his blood flow is very normal.
And these forces in the academy are neither for a certain powerful student or the leader of the academy, nor for the forces outside the academy, nor for the ridiculous things such as jealousy and comparison with each other.
Because there is only one reason for forming forces, and that is a sense of identity with different strategies and tactics.
To put it bluntly, students have their own independent views on how to win wars, and people with the same or similar opinions will spontaneously form a force, and then absorb the forces, and become hostile to another force with different or even opposite opinions, and compete fiercely with each other.
This hostility is not just expressed in terms of perception.
Students belonging to different forces will regularly organize simulated actual battles, make an appointment, and in the training ground, actually use their own points of view, and fight fiercely with hostile forces. And in the end, the actual results will prove the right and wrong of their respective ideas.
For example, in the current academy, there are two very powerful groups -- the "Invincible Swordsman Regiment" and the "United Legion."
Among them, the main point of view of the former was that in order to win the war, in addition to logistics, it was enough to have an outstanding commander and a strong and brave swordsmen.
The latter, on the other hand, believe that warfare is now inseparable from auxiliary units such as sages and archers, and that the role of these original auxiliary units has been increasing. In the future, only by organically combining several forces can we win the final victory in the war.
The views of the two factions are very distinct, and they often compete in actual battles, and they win and lose each other.
"But actually, I agree more with the little ones in the Combined Legion, and most of the teachers see it that way. Hehe, it's also interesting to say, the reason why the children of the Invincible Swordsman Regiment can still fight against the Combined Legion is entirely because of their pride in the swordsman profession, and there are a few very powerful guys in them to support them. Although the Combined Legion is getting stronger and stronger, it still can't compete with the proud swordsmen in a short period of time, especially the high-end combat power. Lady Cynthia laughed as she spoke.
It was the first time that Xius had heard of such a strange academy, and it was unheard of for his own people to call back and forth without a teacher. Guangyao City also has a swordsman academy, although it has no reputation and strength, but there will never be such a strange phenomenon.
"An intriguing academy indeed!" Hughes sighed after a moment's thought.
Just listening to that kind of battle for the sake of ideas, he felt his blood boil. The feeling of eagerness to try came to my mind in waves. Just imagining that he would join it in the future and fight fiercely, the whole body and mind of Xius experienced an extreme refreshment, like fluttering.
Mrs. Cynthia was very talkative, and it was a great pleasure to talk to her son, and she never tired of it.
However, Hughes could not hold on. Although the relaxed fall asleep in the bath had restored a lot of his strength, the fatigue accumulated during the nearly thirty-day long trip could not be eliminated in one or two hours.
Looking at her son's sleepy expression, the chicks pecking at the rice from time to time, and trying to open her eyelids and try to say more words to herself, Mrs. Cynthia's heart was full of emotion and pity.
"Go to sleep, my child, you must be very tired, and we will have plenty of opportunities to talk in the future. Lady Cynthia patted Theseus on the cheek, pulled her son up from the couch, and walked to another room that had been prepared.
Next to Lady Cynthia's room, in a slightly smaller room, Lady Cynthia had already asked the maids to clean up. All kinds of supplies are complete, even the fancy bed sheets that were originally laid out, because they were afraid that Xius would not like them, they were all replaced with pure white.
Hughes glanced at the environment a little and felt satisfied.
Mrs. Cynthia didn't have to help Hughes with everything like a bath this time, but took him over to take a look, and when she thought it was appropriate, she smiled and left, leaving her son alone and free.
In fact, because the events of the day today were so exaggerated, and because of the drastic change in mood, Hughes's mind was actually more tired than his body. That kind of mental fatigue is far more powerless than physical fatigue.
Therefore, as soon as the lady left, Hughes threw himself directly into the bed, wrapped himself in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep without taking off his clothes.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Hughes, who had slept soundly, gradually felt that his face was heating up, warm and very comfortable. His left eye lazily opened a slit and found that everything in his sight was covered with a faint golden light.
"The sun is so high?" Theseus understood that it was strong sunlight, felt the approximate position of the sun, sighed, reluctantly propped up his upper body, and then the whole person climbed up. Although he would love to be as uninhibited as he was at dinner last night, years of training had made waking up early an instinct. I was able to sleep until three poles in the morning today, completely because I was too tired.
Because I didn't take off my clothes at all last night, I pulled the corners of my clothes after a quick wash, and the clean and tidy image almost came back.
Hughes went out to look for Nalco, and hadn't seen him for nearly a day since yesterday. Presumably he was also a little anxious. Although he doesn't worry about safety at Madame's place, there is definitely a faint uneasiness.
Opening the door, there was a maid standing quietly, and the other party hastened to salute him, and Hughes smiled and asked where her wife was, and was told that she had gone to work in the front inn early in the morning.
Hughes went directly to where Nalco lived, the small two-story building where Mrs. Cynthiav lived alone, although there was certainly an empty house, but Nalco and Ram could not have been invited to live here. Even if they took the initiative to call them over, they would definitely not dare to come.
Sure enough, as soon as he pushed open the door of Nalco's room, he saw Ram walking around in the open space in the middle, Nalco was quite calm, but his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Young Master, you're back!" Ram shouted happily when he saw Hughes coming in. Nalco also immediately stood up, his frown disappearing, and a faint smile on his face.
"Well, did you sleep well yesterday? You two, this is a room for three gold coins a night! God of War is above, I have never lived in such a luxurious place!" Theseus laughed, his words were a little exaggerated, and today he was in a good mood like the sun in the sky.
Nalco also laughed, only Ram was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head and said, "I really didn't fall asleep in the first half of the night, and I slept very deeply in the second half of the night." ā
Hughes smiled and said, "Anyway, I overslept this morning, and I just woke up." Now that it's noon, let's have dinner together. Still, I don't really know where to eat here. ā
Nalco was about to speak, but Ram spoke up first: "Young Master, we can't eat with you today." Master Nalco said that Mrs. Cynthia meant, and that you had eaten with Madame both days. ā
Hughes frowned. Seeing this, Nalco immediately persuaded: "Young Master, you have to be considerate of Madame's feelings as an elder, she hasn't seen you for many years, this time, you should do your best to make Madame happy." ā
Hughes knew that his guards were right, but he felt a little controlled by others, which was very bad...... Eventually, though, he thought about it and nodded to Nalco.
"What are the arrangements for today? I can't stay in the hotel all day?" asked Hughes, let's eat together, but after that, he will make his own decisions.
Ram preemptively said excitedly: "Of course, I'm going to see the Wang Family Warrior Academy, if it weren't for getting up late, we would have gone this morning." This is a place not to be missed, and I have discussed it with Lord Nalco, and we will go over after dinner. ā
Theseus looked at Nalco dissatisfied, and asked angrily, "Why, aren't you going to take me?"
Ram knew that he was talkative, so he had to look at Nalco, hoping that he would come out and save him. Nalco didn't react in any particular way, he pulled out a card-like object from his body and handed it to Theseus.
Hughes took it, and although he hadn't used it, he probably guessed what it was.
"It's beautiful, it's not the same as ours there, it's much more beautiful. When will you be able to do it?" said Hughes laughed. He encouraged his fighting spirit to input a trace into the crystal card, and a line of numbers immediately appeared on it, 1200.
"So much?!" Theseus exclaimed, knowing that the number only represented gold coins, that he had never received so much money at once. In the previous year, the cost of 1,000 gold coins was always paid a part every month.
Nalco smiled and nodded: "My lord knows that the consumption in the royal capital is very high, so raise your pocket money to 200 gold coins per month, which is the amount of the first half year." The reason why you give so much at one time means that you have just entered the college, buy supplies, make friends and other expenses are not small, so you will give it once in the first half of the year. But he wants you to put the money to good use and not waste it all on eating, drinking, and having fun. As for the crystal card, it was already done by adults. ā
Xius was very happy, 1200 gold coins was not a small number, calculating the flowers, he would definitely be able to live a very nourishing life in half a year, which made him very proud. Wangdu is not only home to the Royal Family Warrior Academy, but also has the best entertainment venues here. And those places are the real gold caves far beyond the Dhaka Manor.
Observing Hughes's slightly happy expression, Nalco pondered and reminded: "If Madame gives you money......
Hearing this, Theseus immediately turned his head and looked at Nalco. This guard is asking the key point. Hughes hadn't really thought about it. But according to yesterday's frame, the probability of Mrs. Cynthia giving him money is really very high. Whether to take it or not has become a rather troublesome problem.
"Did Father give you any hints?" Theseus suddenly had a headache, he felt that he and his new mother were not in a relationship to the point where they could take money casually. But if Madame insists on giving it, can he refuse? That would hurt Madame's heart too much.
Hughes began to worry. Beside him, in addition to Ram not knowing anything, Nalco was also shaking his head, obviously Viscount Gale did not prompt, and he did not have a good solution to this situation.
Sitting on the sofa and thinking about it for a long time, Hughes felt that his head hurt, and he didn't come up with a solution. He got up, "Let's talk about it, maybe Madame doesn't have such thoughts at all!"
Hughes's words, in Nalco's opinion, were no different from comforting himself. He knew that this would happen almost certainly. And in case of disagreement, the lady will definitely be sad and angry. Mess with Lady Cynthia, once the viscount knows, then everyone will have nothing good to eat.
