After dinner, Tang Yanqian took the carriage back to the college, Xiu Zhe looked at her mother's reluctant appearance and was a little confused, could it be that Tang Yanqian was her long-lost sister?

Ning Jiu didn't stay long, and within half an hour after Tang Yanqian left, he also called a carriage and left Xiu Zhe's house.

"Zhe'er, is that girl named Tang Yanqian really a nobleman? Mother doesn't look like she has the temperament that a noble child should have, she is quite virtuous. ”

Xiu Zhe almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, and hurriedly swallowed it, coughing violently, Xiu Xiangxue's tone was like treating Tang Yanqian as a daughter-in-law, how old is he? Eleven years old! It's far from getting married!

"Mother, can you care about me? I almost didn't die of exhaustion at the Imperial Sword Academy this year! Xiu Zhe smiled bitterly and began to help Xiu Xiangxue clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Xiu Xiangxue scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, how can it be easy to become a swordsman?" I've heard Linus say that your first-year class is no longer sword training but physical training, how was this year? Did Ghost Hand react? ”

"How can I care about ghost hands? Every day I wake up from the potion bucket, and the amount of training is getting bigger and bigger. Xiu Zhe rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"It won't be like this from the second year onwards, and this time the educational reform of the Imperial Sword Academy is still very successful, leaving the essence to remove the dross. But don't rejoice too soon, the next will only work harder than before. Linus leaned back in his chair and laughed.

Xiu Zhe bowed slightly, his eyes flashed with determination, in order to have the ability to repay Linnas's kindness in the future and make his mother live a better life, he can endure any hardship.

Xiu Zhe did not give up exercising during this month's vacation, and every morning after a run, he would go to Linnas's small blacksmith shop to help with iron, although he had not performed blacksmithing for a year, but when he held the forging hammer, the hammer method was still not rusty but more fluent, according to Linnas's words, this is the effect of a year of physical training.

A month passed quietly, Xiu Zhe also returned to the academy on the last day of the holiday, when he opened the door of the dormitory and saw Ning Jiu lying on the bed playing game consoles, Xiu Zhe couldn't help but ask: "Are you just lying on the bed playing games this holiday?" ”

"yes? Or else? For Ning Jiu's justified answer, all Xiu Zhe could do was hold his forehead and smile bitterly.

Putting the backpack and the knife on the side of the bed, Xiu Zhe and Ning Jiu chatted about what happened during this time, and learned from Ning Jiu's mouth that the identity of the girl named Kaili who fell from the sky was also confirmed, and she was the one who lived in the heavenly realm.

At the same time, this girl was also picked up by the principal of the Academy of Magic, Shalan, from Lin Jun and accepted as an apprentice.

"Not only that, but we'll have two big games when we're in third grade." Ning Jiu fiddled with the game console back and forth and said through gritted teeth.

Xiu Zhe asked with some confusion: "Competition?" What competition? ”

An excited smile appeared on Ning Jiu's face and replied, "One is a sword competition within the academy, and the top four are selected to participate in another competition jointly organized by each academy, and that is the most interesting." Because all the swordsmanship academies, magic academies, fighting dojos, and children of Remidia who are our age will participate in this conference. ”

Remidia? Xiu Zhe was shocked in his heart, he was no longer the country kid who didn't know anything a year ago, Remidia's full name was 'Remidia Bayarika', it is located in the capital of the Principality of Belmar, not far from the Imperial Sword Academy, according to legend, in order to fight the pretenders, the Sage Michel led the construction of the academy to train the priesthood.

Although Xiu Zhe didn't know what a pretender was, he also knew a simple understanding from Linnas's mouth that the so-called pretender was a general under an evil god named Ozma more than two hundred years ago, and the great sage Michel led many priests to defeat the army of pretenders and sealed the evil god to the end of the Arad continent, but at the same time, Michel also disappeared together.

Some say that Michelle is dead, some say that Michel is guarding the seal of Ozma at the end of the world, and although Michel is gone, his will has been passed on, which is now Remidia Bayarika, where people can wield huge weapons, and can use a terrifying fist called Godhead Fist, and even can use spells to attack enemies.

As for the dojo cultivators who practice martial arts, they also know a little bit about it, and the people who cultivate their muscles and bones there are proficient in various fighting techniques, and their lethality is not weaker than that of sword qi, and there are even some excellent people who can cultivate their mind qi, just like their vice principal Lin Jun.

It's no wonder that Ning Jiu is interested, Xiu Zhe is also extremely excited, he and Ning Jiu are the same kind of people, both of them are eager to fight with powerful opponents to improve their strength, especially this kind of competition that does not allow killing can make them grow up safely and quickly.

"Ning Jiu, I can't be left behind by you in this year's swordsmanship cultivation, the first place in Class A is still mine." Xiu Zhe's bold words made a playful smile appear on Ning Jiu's face and said:

"Oh roar? How dare you say it? Even I don't dare to let out such big words, Liang Yue, do you know what kind of character it is? Although their family does not have characters who can compete with the Four Sword Saints, they are the number one swordsmanship family in the Principality of Belmar, and Liang Yue is a sword training genius in their family for a hundred years, any swordsmanship will be found and cracked by him! It is said that there is no perfect swordsmanship in front of him. ”

Good one, no perfect swordsmanship! Xiu Zhe knows Liang Yue's character, he is definitely not an arrogant person who can boast about himself, since there will be such rumors, it is very likely to be true.

Xiu Zhe's right arm couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, Ning Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, Xiu Zhe's expression was very exciting now, there was fear, there was excitement, but more of longing.

In this way, the second-grade swordsmanship instruction course arrived as scheduled, and each student will use their own weapons when training, even if the academy has the energy and no time to create a wooden sword for each student, simply let these children use their original weapons, anyway, if they are injured, there are priests who can heal magic, as long as there is no broken limb, the priests in the academy can deal with it.

According to the words of Lin Jun, the vice president of the Imperial Sword Academy, how could a swordsman not be injured? Although there are no children over the age of 17 in the Academy, the sooner they learn about pain, the better.

Those who choose to stick to the swordsman after suffering are the ones who are really worth cultivating, and those who cry and shout to give up after suffering some flesh and blood, so they should simply give up and go home and farm.

More than half a month passed, and at this time, on the playground where Class A students were training, Hong Cheng was half-lying on a comfortable chair, with a parasol beside him, holding ice juice in his hand, and looking at the sweaty students with a smile and said loudly:

"Can't hold on? I just let you raise your sword in both hands for two hours and you can't stand it? If you can't stand it, just say it, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a deduction of ten credits? ”

I thought that when I reached the second year, I would no longer have to endure the pain of physical training, but no one expected that the first two months of the college's course schedule would just be tied to the horse and the arms stretched out and the sword raised!

This is more sinful than physical training, the big sun is high in the air, everyone gritted their teeth and struggles to support it, bean-sized sweat droplets slide down everyone's faces, but no one chooses to wipe it, Xiu Zhe finally understands why Linus said that the second-year course is more maddening than the first-year.

Every morning at half past five in the morning, he runs for two hours with a weight, Zama walks and raises a sword for three hours, then eats lunch, and practices swordsmanship in the afternoon. The seventeen students in Class A have been experiencing this kind of life for almost a month, and the person with the lowest credits is only five points left, and you must know that at the beginning of the second-year course, all of them had 100 full credits.

Even characters with extremely tenacious nerves such as Xiu Zhe have also fainted once, resulting in a failure in training and being deducted ten points, Ning Jiu's score is also 90 points, and Tang Yanqian, who has a weak physique, only has 60 points left.

"Damn, I'm not practicing!" A young man with a big waist and a round waist couldn't hold on anymore, and slammed the sword in his hand into the ground, half-kneeling on the ground, panting, everyone raised the sword of a uniform weight, whether it was a giant sword user or a thin sword user, in the morning class, it was the sword issued by the academy.

"Don't practice? If you don't practice, get out, Gu Tianyi, you only have five credits left, and you should understand what it means to give up here! Hong Cheng said loudly with angry eyes.

Gu Tianyi took a few breaths, swallowed his saliva, looked at Hong Cheng with a hideous face, and roared: "Is this the amount of training that a person can bear?!" Did you see Class B?! They don't need to carry weights in the morning and go for a morning run at all! There's no need to listen to your cynicism here! ”

Hong Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, he is not a soft-hearted character, if he had been in danger many times, he would have become fertilizer for the land if he was not ruthless, and now there is a little cub who dares to talk to himself like this?

Just as he was about to stand up, Lei Kuan stopped him, and said angrily: "Gu Tianyi, your credits have been deducted, you can go." Fu Hua, take him to the teaching office. Go and go back. ”

"Grass! Lao Tzu is a genius, everywhere he puts it! You're going to fire me and I'll regret it a year later! Gu Tianyi said with a grim look.

Xiu Zhe glanced at Gu Tianyi and didn't speak, Ning Jiu was even more disdainful in his nostrils, this kind of words had already been heard in the first grade, and every student who was expelled by Hong Cheng would say such a cruel sentence.

This Gu Tianyi obviously has the strength to give up because he doesn't want to endure hardship, what achievements will this kind of person have?

In this way, Gu Tianyi became the first student to be expelled among the remaining seventeen students in Class A. Hong Yan just sneered at this kind of childish cruel words, and he really hoped that Gu Tianyi could win the elite academy competition in his heart.

Talented? What about even true geniuses? A person's heart and nerves are far more important than swordsmanship.
