Chapter 7: Demon Martial Academy

The next day, An Xu got up early, took his new shield and rushed to the inner city, on the way it was inevitable that he was interrogated by the city guards several times, and heard that An Xu was hired to work in the Demon Martial Arts Academy, and after reading the certificate presented by the bounty office, he was very happy to let go.

The people who work for the Demon Martial Academy, even if they are small mercenaries, are not something that they city guards can embarrass them.

In fact, he has lived in Hidden Moon City for several years, and he has only been to the inner city area once, saying that it is the inner city, but in fact, it should be called the upper area, because Hidden Moon City is built on a mountain peak, and the inner city area is much higher than the outer city area.

This area was where the nobles lived, and ordinary residents were forbidden to move around here.

From afar, you can see the highest place, that is, on the top of the mountain, there is a huge ancient tree, which is said to have existed before the appearance of Hidden Moon City!

On a full moon night, when you look up from the inner city, the moon disappears into the lush canopy of ancient trees, which, according to some older people, is where the name Hidden Moon City comes from.

However, it was daytime, and An Xu didn't have a chance to enjoy such a view, and the appointed time was almost up, and he didn't want to give his employer the impression that he liked to be late.

Fortunately, the location of the Demon Martial Arts Academy was not difficult to find, and An Xu quickly rushed to the place where he was going.

Although the Demon Martial Academy in Hidden Moon City was only a branch of the Kingdom Demon Martial Academy, it was still quite luxuriously built, and as soon as he approached this place, An Xu could feel that the atmosphere had changed.

Compared with the ordinary and unheard of in the outer city, and the luxury and slightly ostentatious in the inner city, the place of the Demon Martial Arts Academy gives people a sense of vitality.

In the entire towns and villages near Hidden Moon City, almost all outstanding young people are concentrated here, and they represent the future and hope of the kingdom.

Most of the people who graduate from here will become high-ranking officers in the kingdom, or the objects of enthusiastic recruitment by the great nobles, and at worst, they can also enter some powerful mercenary regiments!

As long as you are a student who graduated from the Demon Martial Arts Academy, you don't have to worry about having nowhere to go.

This is the influence of the Demon Martial Arts Academy of the Huiye Kingdom!

Standing at the gate of the academy, you can see some students wearing academy uniforms coming and going, the Demon Martial Arts Academy is not a closed place, students can go out to relax in their spare time, of course, if it is not a holiday, it is generally not too far away from the academy.

At this time, before class, many young academies passing by were pointing at An Xu and talking about something quietly, and a mercenary appeared here, which really attracted people's attention.

An Xu had long been used to not caring, and reached out to cover his mouth and yawned.

Yesterday was really tired, just the primary challenge of the elemental channel, he fought all night, from the beginning of the entry was killed by all kinds of seconds, and in the end he was able to last a few minutes, and the best one even rushed in front of Lan Cai'er, but in the end he was frozen into a lump of ice.

has died a lot, even An Xu is a little numb, and even the spell bombardment on his body is not as painful as at the beginning.

It is worth mentioning that there was also a strange thing in the middle.

When An Xu was pierced by Lan Cai'er with an ice arrow, such a message suddenly popped up in his mind-

[Congratulations on achieving the achievement 'Fire and Ice Heavens': Killed 5 times each by an ice spell and a fire spell, the bonus elemental resistance is increased by 2 points.] 】

Although I don't know what this thing is, An Xu, who has already seen the strange functions of the badge, didn't make a fuss, maybe this is also one of the benefits that Leng Yan said in his mouth, but he doesn't understand what the elemental resistance is.

It doesn't sound bad, though.

Not to mention, since then, An Xu feels that his body is indeed a little different, the same spell bombarded him, and he actually felt a lot less powerful, for example, Lan Cai'er's thunder and lightning always paralyzed herself for a long time before, but now the time of paralysis has been reduced, and the stiffness caused by ice spells has also been reduced a lot.

Even the time she approached Lan Cai'er was only done after she had this elemental resistance.

It's just that even so, An Xu didn't feel a glimmer of hope for victory, Lan Cai'er would have too many spells, An Xu could now roughly detect when Lan Cai'er was casting, but he couldn't judge what spell the other party was using at all, resulting in the situation being beaten passively, and when he played well, he was just beaten for a longer time.

An Xu was even thinking about whether to deliberately die a few more times, maybe there would be a so-called 'welfare', but unfortunately, until midnight, An Xu's expectant voice did not appear again.

During this period, An Xu also entered other passages with luck, once a passage with a pattern of a bow and arrow, and there was a guy with a longbow in it, and he looked like the other party was only in his twenties. An Xu doesn't know what kind of profession this is, maybe it's a ranger?

At the beginning of the battle, the opponent took advantage of the terrain to keep running, constantly shooting with bows and arrows in the process of moving, and shot An Xu into a hedgehog in less than a few minutes.

His movement speed was so strange and agile that An Xu felt like he couldn't catch up with the guy at all.

Another time was even more exaggerated, An Xu entered a passage painted with a six-pointed star, and he didn't know what kind of profession it was, but An Xu, who had just entered, was inexplicably teleported out before he saw the enemy!

Yes! An Xu didn't even see what the enemy was like, and he didn't know how he was killed!

It means that the other party unconsciously solved An Xu in an instant, and it didn't even make An Xu feel a trace of pain.

With these two experiences, An Xu finally became honest and no longer went to other channels to look for abuse, but Lan Caier, who had already communicated dozens of times, seemed more 'kind'.

In the end, although An Xu was full of physical strength, he was mentally exhausted. Come to think of it, if someone dies so many times a day in a row, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

Just when An Xu was still reminiscing, a woman in a purple robe stood in front of him, looking very young, maybe only a little older than An Xu, but she was a complete beauty, with a gentle smile on her face, and her long soft hair was scattered over her shoulders, giving people a sense of tranquility.

Her pupils looked similar to An Xu's, but the color was slightly lighter, a trait that only the natives of Hidden Moon City would have.

"Excuse me, are you the person introduced by the bounty firm?" She leaned forward slightly as she spoke, allowing An Xu to smell a faint fragrance.

The other party actually spoke with a respectful salutation, which made An Xu a little flattered, I only heard that the people of the Demon Martial Arts Academy have always been above the sky, and they don't care about the low-end mercenaries like them, but I didn't expect to meet such a polite person in the first contact, and she is also a woman who is too beautiful to speak.

"Yes, yes! Hello, my name is An Xu, and I am a mercenary introduced by the bounty office! An Xu hurriedly replied, unconsciously holding his hands in front of his chest as he spoke, and performed a courtesy on behalf of the mercenaries.

To be honest, An Xu has been a mercenary for so long, and he can count the number of times he salutes others with his fingers.

"Great! I didn't know where to meet when I contacted the office, so I was worried about it! The other party looked very happy and introduced himself: "My name is Birou, I am a teacher at the Demon Martial Arts Academy, and I am also the publisher of this mission!" Ah, by the way, this is not a good place to chat, Mr. Anxu, let's go in first. ”

After finishing speaking, he took An Xu and walked inside, An Xu looked around with interest along the way, he had heard that the Demon Martial Academy was very big before, and this time he saw it with his own eyes.

Walking through a tree-lined path, a wide square appeared in front of An Xu's eyes, the whole square is paved with white stones, the ground is very flat and cleaned very clean, in front of the square, there is a tall stone tower, the stone tower is engraved with the words 'Demon Martial Academy', which looks extraordinary.

Seeing An Xu's interested, Birou introduced him as she walked: "Is Mr. An Xu coming to the Demon Martial Academy for the first time?" This is the venue of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, and it is usually held in this place when events are held in the academy, and all the students gather here, which is very lively! After walking this road, there is the teaching area of the spell department in front of us, and our classes are all carried out in it! ”

An Xu could only follow all the way, nodding from time to time, he was really not very good at conversation, especially since the other party was still a noble female mage.

"Look over there, the building complex behind that grove is the teaching area of the Warrior Department!" Birou pointed not far away, looked back at An Xu and said, "To be honest, Mr. An Xu is much younger than I imagined!" Yes...... It's not that I don't believe Mr. An Xu, because Mr. An Xu has a special aura in him, and I can see that he must be an experienced fighter.

I mean, at Mr. Anxu's age, he should enjoy his time in school, and mercenaries should be hard, right? It's too cruel for young people. ”

An Xu could only smile helplessly, and didn't explain anything, the living environment is different, and the other party won't understand the lives of the mercenaries, right?

The mercenary is much younger than him.

There were people all the way to greet Birou, and it could be seen that Birou, as a teacher, was very popular here, but they all glanced at An Xu strangely.

"Arrived, across the small bridge over the lake in front of me is the training ground for this course, well, it looks like the students are almost there, I heard that it is a practical class, they are all looking forward to it!" Birou suddenly pointed ahead and said.

An Xu looked up, and sure enough, on a small field in front of him, there were many figures faintly shaking.

He took a deep breath, after yesterday's hard practice, he was not so unfamiliar with mages, at least a little bit of confidence, if it was just a group of students, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

"Don't worry, they're all very nice kids, and you're about the same age, so you'll have a good time communicating!"

"Huh! Actually, I have a question, shouldn't the Demon Martial Arts Academy also have students of shield warriors, wouldn't it be better for them to learn from each other? Why should I go to a bounty office to find someone? An Xu asked strangely.

"Huh!" Birou rolled up the wide sleeves of her robe and covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. An Xu doesn't know much about it, the competition between the magic department and the warrior department of the Demon Martial Arts Academy has always been fierce, and the young people are more good-looking, if they really let them match, I'm afraid it won't be a competition at that time!" ”

Khan, An Xu made up the picture of two waves of crowd beating on his own, and quickly shook his head.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the venue.

"That's it! Don't mess around, today's lesson will start right away! Birou clapped her hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then stood beside An Xu and introduced: "This Mr. An Xu is an experienced fighter, he will be everyone's sparring partner today, everyone is welcome!" ”

The sparse applause rang out, and An Xu looked at the more than 20 students in uniform in front of him, who looked like they were about seventeen or eighteen years old, some were excited, some were eager to try, and more looked at An Xu with disdain for his simple equipment.

Being stared at by more than 20 pairs of eyes, An Xu suddenly felt a big head, he was really not good at dealing with such a scene.

"Wait a minute, everyone! I'll check the precautions at the training ground first, and we'll start classes in a minute! Birou arranged it in an orderly manner.

An Xu noticed that this venue was a little different, the whole was triangular, and there was a small stone monument on each of the three corners, even during the day, I could see that there was fluorescence circulating on it, and it didn't look as simple as a decoration.

I wanted to ask the well-informed Leng Yan, but thinking that the other party was sleeping and resting, An Xu also endured it.

After a while, Birou came over with a light half-length armor and handed it to An Xu: "Mr. An Xu, this is the protective equipment prepared for you, it is made of anti-wear materials, and it has a certain resistance effect to spells, although I believe in Mr. An Xu's strength, but these children are the first time to fight, and the magic control is not very good, so please wear it to avoid accidents!" ”

There's even equipment to resist magic? An Xu was surprised, and thought that he would just let himself get on it, this kind of equipment can't be bought in the outer city at all, and it won't be ordinary people who can afford to wear it, but he didn't expect to be able to experience it today.

For a while, An Xu's good impression of Birou increased greatly, and it seemed that the other party was really worried about his safety, which made An Xu, who was usually used to seeing indifference, a little strange for a while.

After putting on the equipment, An Xu picked up the shield and walked into the center of the field, and somehow, there was a hint of excitement in his heart.
