Xiu won.

Rodriard's biggest mistake was to get Xiu to put down the other sword in the first place, so much so that he himself ignored the existence of that sword.

Coupled with a night of training, Rodria had little to no rest. This night, he had been spending the night in Xiu's challenge, and when Xiu stopped taking care of the challenge, he had to take care of Lilum.

This girl is very special, otherwise it would not be possible for all the instructors to stand guard, and she is the only one sleeping.

The standing Gerald was an exception, and if anyone could fall asleep and stand as steady as he was, they could do as they pleased.

After a sleepless night, his spirit was inevitably exhausted, and although he said that he was going all out, he couldn't use strength and speed, plus his self-confidence made him not really regard Xiu as an equal opponent - you can't take it seriously in the face of a seven-year-old child.

There is a more important reason for this, repairing the injured hand. Rodria saw that Xiu's hand was injured, and Xiu had only used his right hand for eight seconds before the challenge, so Rodri subconsciously ignored Xiu's left hand.

All these triggers exploded in the final second.

This second was the second that Xiu had been brewing and looking for when Rodria said that he couldn't use dual swords.

Xiu smiled happily.

He felt joy from the bottom of his heart. All the previous failures, all kinds of depression, are nothing.

The feeling when Rodria denied his Kaslana swordsmanship before, the feeling of being defeated by Rodria again and again, and the feeling of exhaustion of his body again and again, are all nothing.

At this moment, he just wanted to enjoy this kind of joy.

This is called the joy of victory.

He looked at the cheering companions in front of him, at the instructors and guards whispering on the edge, at the blackstone walls in the distance, at the treetops of the shadowy poplar groves behind the walls, at the mountain tops in the distance, and at the golden light rising in the sky.

The light of this moment seems to shine only for him.

"What a dazzling light—" The light grew brighter and brighter in his eyes, and the golden light gradually turned white. Gradually, only a blank blank remained in his eyes.

Xiu suddenly felt as if he was lying in a warm embrace. He opened his eyes to see Luna's caring face.

"Repair, cheer up and repair!" She looked around helplessly, not knowing what to do.

"I, I'm fine..."Xiu tried to stand up.

Did you just faint? Too dazzling light, will I lose myself...

"You're still bleeding, stop talking, hurry up and stop the bleeding..."

"Mia! What about repair? "Suzanne is late.

When Xiu fainted, she went to get more bandages for Xiu. The first batch of bandages was already covered with blood when the first wound was treated and could not be used. When Kankan repaired the wound, Suzanne was still not at ease, so she asked Mia to take care of it first and went to get the bandage herself.

"This fog got up inexplicably, and even if it was foggy before, it wasn't that big?" Suzanne complained, "Where's Xiu?" Didn't you look at him? I can't find it..."The bandage on Susanna's hand fell to the ground unconsciously. He saw Xiu surrounded by his companions.

Mia only then noticed that Xiu was still dripping blood.

"Damn, I didn't even notice, I said where the smell of blood came from..."

Before Mia could finish her words, Suzanne grabbed her bandage and rushed over.

Mia shook her head helplessly. She didn't follow Susanna, but turned away. She has more important things to do.

At this moment, Gerald's voice rang out.

"The assessment is over, everyone, give you ten minutes to have breakfast. Ten minutes later, assemble in your classroom. If you are late, you will not be qualified. Gerald said lightly.

His voice was not loud, but it was clear to everyone.

"Now, disband."

His order was given, but not many people left.

But none of this was Gerrard's concern. He didn't even pay attention to the injured Xiu, because he knew that someone would take good care of him, and besides, he was about to start a new day's work. He didn't need to pay attention to this side of the matter anymore, and the rest of the assessment would be completed by teachers who were better at it than him, and he had a mountain of documents for him to deal with, and these documents would only grow more and never decrease.

Breakfast? Gerald didn't think about it for a moment. Maybe Mia can remember it for him.

The first team was all around their captain. They looked worriedly at Xiu, who was still bleeding.

"Let's all go to breakfast..."Xiu covered his dizzy eyes, "How can I take the assessment when I am hungry... Go ahead and bring one for me..."

But none of them left. When Suzanne came, they consciously made way for Susanna.

"It's all gone, I'm here to watch it's no problem, you all go and eat breakfast and go to the classroom, do you hear?" Suzanne said unquestioningly.

The knights of the first team glanced at each other and finally left, and Luna, Andrew, and Carlos were all chased away by Susanna.

The bloody bandages were removed and tossed aside, and Suzanne skillfully stopped the bleeding, cleaned the blood, and changed the bandages.

"People are so small, why are your hearts so big. Do you think the wound that was slashed by Rhodría's sword heals well? ”

"I won..."

"Is your challenge to win?" Suzanne was angry.

Xiu was stunned and nodded.

Suzanne was speechless.

The child may not be as mature as she thought, and he didn't realize what the real purpose of the night's assessment was.

"If you're not so desperate, no one will say anything about you..."

"Yes." Xiu's voice seemed to lose his strength, and he said weakly, "I'll tell." ”

"You stubborn dead boy." Susanna's knot was a little heavier. But Xiu didn't cry out in pain as she imagined, but lay quietly on the ground.

A pair of clear eyes just looked at her like this, and there was a faint dependence in their eyes.

Such a look reminded Suzanne of her younger brother.

The little guy who kept running behind her ass, the well-behaved little guy who always obeyed her words.

Under such a look, Suzanne couldn't get angry.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Suzanne asked, loosening a little of the knot.

"It hurts." Xiu replied.

"Then why don't you shout it out?"

"This proves that I didn't dream," said Shu, "I really defeated Chief Rodriard... Even if he couldn't do it with all his might, but—" he gently shook the palm of his left hand, feeling the hand that was about to run out of strength, "It's all unreal... I was so bad in the team, but I was able to... Can... I, I am, am I really alive..."

"What nonsense! Who taught you these words at a young age! Suzanne poked Xiu in the head.

"No, sir, you don't have to mind that, just if I didn't say it." Xiu tried to stand up, but he couldn't do it: "Can you help me to the classroom?" I can't seem to walk anymore. ”

"Still going to the classroom?" Suzanne furrowed her good-looking eyebrows, "You go back to the dorm room for me to rest!" ”

"I, I'm afraid of failing the assessment..."

"Your performance will definitely pass no matter what the assessment, what are you worried about!"

"I was scared that I wouldn't be able to give the exam questions from the teachers. The teachers are amazing, and their problems will be useful in the future, and I'm afraid I'll miss it..."

"I'll take it to the dormitory for you, and you can see it yourself!"

"Sister Susanna, take me—" Xiu begged.

Suzanne knew she couldn't refuse.

Suzanne put her arm around Xiu's shoulder, and Xiu supported Susanna's waist like a toddler with her mother, and walked towards the classroom in the distance little by little.

The morning sun has risen completely. The sun seemed to have just woken up, but its golden light had already dispelled the night and the fog. It illuminated the whole land, illuminated the dark woods, the small stone city, and the two figures of a large and a small one in the stone city.
