"What?! Isn't it sword practice? ”

"It's different from the previous student courses."

There was some commotion in the crowd and discordant voices appeared, and Xiu Zhe was silent and thought carefully about Hong Cheng's words.

This sudden reform is risky, there is more than one sword academy in the Duchy of Belmar, and the various academies are very covetous of the name of the Imperial Sword Academy, what made the academy make such a big change?

A faint smile appeared on Xiu Zhe's face, he probably guessed the intention of the academy, I'm afraid that the students who graduated from the Imperial Sword Academy in the past few years have not achieved anything, right?

"Silence!" Although Hong Yan's voice was not loud, it made all thirty children shut up.

"A powerful swordsman must have a strong physique and tenacious nerves, otherwise no matter how good the swordsmanship is, no matter how good the talent is, it will be full of loopholes in front of a strong enemy, if you don't want to receive a year of physical training, you can drop out, presumably with your talent, there are a lot of academies competing for it, right? But we don't. Hong Cheng's cold gaze swept around, and all the children who looked at him had a trace of cool air under their feet, and hurriedly put their eyes away.

Only a few people can look at Hong Yan calmly, including Xiu Zhe and Ning Jiu.

There are still a few good seedlings in this freshman's class, Hong Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and said coldly:

"Gather here at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, I don't want anyone to be late, your credits are only 100, 5 points will be deducted for each time you are late, 20 points will be deducted for absenteeism without asking for leave, 10 points will be deducted if you can't complete the training standard, and you can go home to feed after your credits are deducted, who still has a problem?"

At this time, a teenager raised his hand and asked in a loud voice, "Teacher, what time is the training time from six o'clock to six o'clock?" ”

"From 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., eat at noon and rest for an hour, then continue training, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m." Hong Yan glanced at the student who asked the question and said lightly.

Has the previous half-day class been changed to a full-day class? Xiu Zhe had a headache and reached into his pocket with his left hand and touched the copper card that only had a deposit of hardware coins, even if it was the cheapest package, it would take one silver coin, three silver coins in a day, and it would be equal to about eleven gold coins in a year, where would he go to get this money?

"If there is no problem, disband." Hong Cheng turned around and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of the students of Class A.

Ning Jiu turned around and locked his gaze on the three brothers, and said coldly, "It's time to solve the contradiction between us, right?" ”

"yes, it's time for me to cure your arrogant stinky disease." The tallest child among the three brothers did not shy away from meeting Ning Jiu with his eyes.

Ning Jiu smiled disdainfully, raised his feet and walked towards the dueling arena in the academy, the other students in Class A naturally knew the contradictions between them, and they all followed Ning Jiu and the three brothers with a playful expression on their faces, whispering about who won and who lost.

Xiu Zhe also wanted to know how strong his new roommate was, and he also wanted to see how the overall strength of Class A students was through this competition, and he was also ready to lend a helping hand when Ning Jiu was defeated, after all, Ning Jiu had also spent a 'huge amount of money' for himself, Xiu Zhe didn't like to owe favors to others, although he had been supported by others all the way to get to this point.

A group of people soon came to the dueling arena in the academy, and a woman in front of the toll booth at the gate put on an expressionless face and said, "The dueling fee is fifty silver coins per person." ”

Xiu Zhe's jaw is about to fall off, damn it, people who dare to love people with no money can't even solve the contradictions? The Imperial Sword Academy is really worthy of being an academy that only nobles can afford, but fortunately, it doesn't cost money to observe, otherwise Xiu Zhe will definitely turn around and leave.

Ning Jiu and the tallest of the three brothers paid very happily, and the woman glanced at the Class A student behind the two and said: "No third party is allowed to intervene in the duel, the two sides of the duel will use bladeless wooden swords, and no murder is allowed, the use of hidden weapon magic, the use of puppet treasures, drinking potions, and so on." At the same time, as long as one side admits defeat and the battle must be stopped immediately, the violator will deduct 30 credits, and if the circumstances are serious, he will be ordered to withdraw from the school. ”

"I hope I don't beat you to the bottom with one move, that's really boring." Ning Jiu said with a sneer.

"Each other, each other."

The woman was indifferent to the link where the people who came to the dueling arena to resolve the conflict exchanged harsh words before they started, and their faces were still cold and led the way in front, and everyone followed the woman into the dueling arena.

The grandstand of the dueling arena is made of three layers of concrete, and the step-by-step slope of the retreat forms a stepped slope to enclose the test venue, and twenty-eight students, including Xiu Zhe, find a place to sit down casually under the guidance of the woman who led the way, not to mention the grandstand of the dueling arena, not to mention the twenty-eight people, even the five hundred students of the entire first year can sit down without being crowded.

There was no competition platform, the entire competition venue and the grandstand were close to each other, the woman came to the top of the grandstand and pulled down an iron gate, and suddenly a magic array appeared above the duel arena to isolate the grandstand and the competition field with a thin film of light.

At this time, the floor tiles in the middle of the field slowly sank, and a knife holder with various wooden weapons rose from the middle of the field, Ning Jiu chose a wooden knife that looked like a sword, and the young man chose a wooden sword that looked like a giant sword.

When the two of them chose their weapons, the knife holder slowly sank and disappeared, and the floor tiles gradually rose to level the field.

"Du Da." The young man waved the wooden sword in his hand and reported himself to the door.

"Ning Jiu." Although Ning Jiu now really wants to make a move to get rid of the 'flies' in front of him, but since ancient times, the rules of swordsman duels still have to be followed, and he reported his name, Ning Jiu held the knife in one hand and didn't look at Du Da with his eyes, and his contempt was very strong.

"Big brother! One sword in seconds, this kid! ”

"Big brother! You beat him up first, and then replace me!" ”

Ning Jiu's attitude made the two brothers of the Du family sitting in the stands angry and smoked, waving their fists and shouting hoarsely.

"Noise, you three brothers going up together is just two more swings of the wooden knife for me." Ning Jiu's eyes glanced at Xiu Zhe, and in his heart he thought that only Xiu Zhe with a ghost hand was qualified to fight with him.

"Let's go!" The woman behind the stands said lightly with a megaphone.

Du Da stomped and jumped up, and the hands holding the wooden giant sword were raised behind his head and slashed towards Ning Jiu's head, and the giant sword made of wood made a whining wind, which showed that if this blow really hit the person's head, he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

"I'm afraid this isn't an ordinary wooden sword!" Xiu Zhe was shocked in his heart, he began to doubt it as early as when the woman said that the competition was all about using a seamless wooden sword, according to the knowledge that Linnas taught him, a swordsman will inject the sword qi in his body into the weapon in the process of wielding the weapon, causing huge lethality, ordinary wooden swords can't withstand this sword qi at all, but the wooden giant sword in Du Da's hand made a sound of breaking through the air, which is enough to prove that the wooden sword has no edge but the lethality is definitely not weak.

Ning Jiu didn't even look at the wooden giant sword that was about to be smashed on his head, and the white-skinned right hand holding the wooden knife raised and collided with the wooden sword in Du Da's hand.

There was a muffled bang, and Ning Jiu parried Du Da's inevitable blow so simply. Du Da was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted, his body took a step back lightly, and the giant sword in his hand swung again, slashing towards Ning Jiu's waist.

"It's boring." Ning Jiu's delicate little doll-like face was full of disappointment, and he retreated slightly, dodging this attack, and at the same time, he stabbed the tip of the wooden knife in his hand towards Du Da's chest.

Du Da was overjoyed when he saw that Ning Jiu did not retreat under his own momentum, as long as he parried Ning Jiu's bland attack and bounced the wooden knife in his hand open, Ning Jiu, who had the middle door wide open, would be dead!

Du Da, who was about to withdraw the wooden sword to his chest, saw Ning Jiu's figure accelerate suddenly, since Du Da could prove that he was not a mediocre person in A, he naturally knew what kind of swordsmanship Ning Jiu was about to perform, and the wooden giant sword in his hand was already horizontal to his chest at this time.

"It's pretty fast, but can you really block my blow?" The cold words came out of Ning Jiu's mouth, and at the same time, the wooden knife had already touched the wooden sword in front of Du Da's chest, only to hear the sound of 'click', the wooden sword in Du Da's hand quietly broke. At this time, he wanted to say that it was too late to surrender, and Ning Jiu's wooden knife had already tapped on his chest.

The wooden knife on Du Da's chest did not make any sound, but his body fell back a few steps, and his legs could no longer support it, and he was half-kneeling on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Big brother!" The Du family brothers in the stands stood up in unison, their eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, staring at Ning Jiu, who was acting lightly in the middle of the field.

Ning Jiu didn't look at Du Da, glanced at the other two brothers of the Du family in the stands with disdain, and said, "What's next?" Are you going to go together or what? Ben Gongzi can take it all. ”

It's too pretending! Xiu Zhe glanced at the two brothers of the Du family who were angry in the stands and shook their heads with a wry smile, and the six girls in Class A were all interested in Ning Jiu, as if they were going to eat him.

Du Da raised his hand tremblingly and said, "I admit defeat." ”

As Du Da admitted defeat, the film between the stands and the competition venue disappeared, and the Du family brothers in the stands hurriedly rushed to the front of the stage to help Du Da up, while Ning Jiu threw the wooden knife aside and came to Xiu Zhe and said, "I'm hungry, go eat?" ”

"I still have some things to do, just eat out when the time comes, the food in the college cafeteria is too expensive for me to eat." Xiu Zhe shook his head helplessly, and said a little bitterly.

Ning Jiu nodded and left the dueling arena on his own, while Xiu Zhe, who had just gotten up to leave here, was stopped by a little girl who was half a head shorter than himself.

The girl combed two ponytails, her white and tender skin could be broken by blowing, and a pair of big flickering eyes on her round little face stared at Xiu Zhe and asked crisply: "This classmate, do you know Ning Gongzi, right?" ”
