Chapter 43: Warm Reception

Sophie's arrival, of course, was warmly received by the Knight Academy, and of course, the so-called Sophie is Li Baoan's goods.

There is no other reason than that, because in a place like a knight's academy, the ratio of men and women is very imbalanced, probably male: female - 30:1, that is, on average, only one female knight out of thirty male students.

From top to bottom, both instructors and students in the Knight Academy are all slandered by this, even if it is a warrior academy, the ratio of men and women can reach ten to one, why is the Knight Academy a singles academy?

In fact, if you think about it, it is not difficult to understand that the tuition fee of the Knight Academy is the most expensive except for mage students, and the requirements for students are also extremely harsh.

There is no other reason, knight, that is the closest thing to the nobility in terms of status. Moreover, the knight's equipment, whether it is a full-body knight's armor, or a sword and shield, is a genuine high-end product, which knight have you ever seen go out with a mix and match? Which is not personable? And the most expensive one, and that's the mount.

Just like hip-hop, riding a mechanical ostrich as a mount is definitely rare. The mount sounds like it's just a war horse, but between a war horse and a war horse, it's so far away.

First of all, the knight's war horse needs a white purebred war horse with no miscellaneous hair on its body, which symbolizes light. Secondly, the feed eaten by war horses is much more expensive than the food of ordinary people, don't be naïve to think that war horses are just fed with grass and water, and they are donkeys for work, not war horses. Again, the armor of the war horse is even more expensive than the set on the knight, and if it is a heavy knight, the armor of the war horse is sky-high.

In this way, those who can enter the knight academy are basically the children of nobles, not even the children of wealthy merchants, and the title is not something that can be bought with money. Having said that, who would work hard to study at the Knight Academy for a noble girl from a good family, rich and educated? And once the battle is fought, the knight needs to rush to the forefront, which is the glory of the knight and the status of the knight's cannon fodder.

Therefore, from this point of view, there are few girls in the Knight Academy, which is basically a sure thing, which is not surprising, but it is the Priest College and the Mage College, which can be described as competing for beauty.

The curriculum of the Knight Academy, the first and second years, is basically the most basic knightly virtues, knightly etiquette, and basic swordsmanship training. But in third grade, it's a different story. First of all, at this age, students are basically in terms of height and strength, and they can learn deeper combat abilities. Secondly, from the third year, the probationary knight is called a knight in the true sense of the word, because during this year, the probationary knight can get in touch with the mount and learn to ride and fight.

Riding is a very important course, and this is the biggest difference between a knight and a warrior. In the fourth year, the theoretical courses basically revolve around combat command, and the practical courses are actual combat training until graduation.

It can be said that the Knight Academy is the only academy that does not worry about finding a way out after graduation, because the students after graduation, whether it is the selection of the Holy Heaven or the demand of the Kingdom of Alexander, are in short supply, and there are even other kingdoms that come to the Kingdom of Alexander to recruit knights. However, most of the students of the Knight Academy are the children of nobles, and it is difficult to recruit them from other countries, unless they are students from other countries.

For Li Baoan, everything here is new, and he can be said to be zero-based. And just as Li Baoan was about to wipe his face and start starting from the first grade, the instructor who was in charge of receiving him told him that since he was recommended by the Divine Heaven, he could directly ignore the basic courses of the first and second grades, starting from the third grade.

The third grade, this age group, is the age group of Li Baoan's current body, and it is very suitable in principle. But when Li Baoan was taken to the classroom by the instructor and looked at the pair of eager eyes in the audience, Li Baoan suddenly felt that he had a sense of vicissitudes, because, after all, he was also an eighteen-year-old soul, and in the face of the childish face of fifteen or sixteen years old, Li Baoan blushed again.

"Sophie, I'm a 3rd grade instructor husky, welcome to 3rd grade learning. Students, let us also welcome our new classmate, the only female knight trainee, Sophie, with warm applause! ”

Burst! Huskies? Li Baoan sprayed directly.

And after the instructor drove like this, the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, looking at the childish, but obviously excited faces, Li Baoan couldn't help sighing, mother, Lao Tzu was actually assigned to the singles grade.

If it weren't for the apprentice knight, from the day he entered the school, he had been cultivated with strict knightly virtues and knightly etiquette, and there was no doubt that a girl in the bachelor grade, especially a beautiful girl, would have caused a wolf howl long ago when she changed to a warrior academy.

That's all it takes in theory classes, but Li Baoan, who has never ridden a horse since he was a child, is still very interested in riding lessons and is looking forward to being able to really experience the feeling of riding horses in riding classes.

In the practical class, Li Baoan declined, and he simply declined to home. Why? It's good that the students of the Knight Academy have accepted aristocratic etiquette since they were young, and 70% of the boys have to go through the transition stage of knighthood, so compared with people who have received knightly education since childhood, Li Baoan, a guy who doesn't understand anything, is completely exposed.

"This class is a practical demonstration, and it just so happens that there is a new classmate Sophie in our class, so Sophie will practice with Harry's team." The husky instructor was still more considerate of the girls, and assigned the skinny boy in the class to Sophie as a partner.

"Instructor, in fact, I think that Sophie should be allowed to train with the strong trainee knight from the beginning, which will be very helpful for her future growth." A boy with a muscular head looked at Harry with a look of envy.

"Instructor, my footwork is the most flexible, and I can guide Sophie in battle moves."

"Instructor ......"

"Obey orders." The instructor's lazy words made everyone quiet. A knight is not a warrior, it is an existence with strict organizational discipline, and it is the trump card in the regular army.

"Shall we begin? You can do as much as you can, and you don't have to keep your hands open. Harry was thin, not even as tall as Sophie, and his speech was weak, but what he said made Security Li feel aggrieved.

"So, you're welcome?" Security Li held a shield in his left hand and a wooden sword in his right hand, smiled sweetly at Harry, and said in his heart: Don't cry for a while!
