Chapter 48: Graduation
The impact of the sudden attack of the demons on the empire is self-evident, and after thirty years of peace, the sleeping lion of the empire has finally woken up.
Although the battle line of the Night Fort was not satisfactory, because the demons had drawn too many troops, the empire had achieved more than ten times the results of the other defense lines. Countless businessmen who wanted to make a fortune also began to take advantage of the opportunity to resell goods, and on the front line, it was not only soldiers who fought for their military exploits. Even a wandering hunter will show his fierce minions for a few lonely demons, whether it is in exchange for war exploits in the empire, or in exchange with merchants for necessities of life, the corpses of demons are very valuable.
Therefore, this war indirectly promoted the economic development of the northwest region.
Except for the Night Keep, which is a real meat grinder!
Because of the war, the empire urgently needs new teenagers to grow up, so all the large and small colleges in the empire have started a more strict teaching system.
In such an environment, there are naturally people who can't keep up with the progress and are eliminated, and there are many people. But as long as they stick to it, these are elites!
In a martial arts hall, the surrounding audience seats were full of young people in uniform and there were about four or five hundred people in the huge martial arts hall.
It stands to reason that so many people should be very noisy, but at this time, the martial arts hall was quiet, and everyone stared with bated breath, looking at the two people in the center of the martial arts hall.
"Say, you don't accept it!" the handsome young man slapped the young man below him on the erect neck, and looked at him with a smug expression, but this expression touched the wound on his face, so that he had to cover his black right eye with his other hand.
"! you! When grandpa gets up, I'll fight you for another 300 rounds!" the slightly inferior young man looked stubborn and shouted for another game.
But the handsome boy didn't give him this chance, and pressed the stubborn boy's throat until his face turned red, and the referee on the side announced it loudly.
"Alston wins!"
A silver earring swayed as Auston got up, and his handsome face looked a little funny because of the dark circles under his eyes.
Diablo coughed violently a few times, then looked at Auston with an unkind face.
In their match just now, Diablo was attacking the whole time, while Auston, on the other hand, used his nimble body and endless strange magic to maneuver with him.
In the end, both of them fell into the embarrassing situation of running out of magic, and as a result, they could only fight hand-to-hand, while Diablo was at the limit of his body because of his madness, and was abused by Auston, who was slightly less physically fit.
Just now, someone in the audience couldn't help but smile, so they had to leave the venue quickly. They don't dare to laugh out loud in front of Diablo, they will definitely be remembered!
That's the end, tsk!
The people in the audience were also very worried about this battle, both of them were recognized by everyone as having strong strength, but it was really laughable to fight such a scene.
"I announce that in the three hundred and seventy-sixth year of the Glorious Calendar, the one hundred and twentieth batch of students of the Holy Sword Academy have successfully graduated!"
In the center of the martial arts hall, an illusory figure slowly solidified, and an old man in a robe with white hair and white beard appeared in front of everyone.
"Hello Dean!"
"Hello Dean!"
“......”
Many students stood up in turn and saluted the old man. Even Auston lowered his head, and Diablo, who was lying on the ground, quickly got up and said a word to the old man.
"Hello Dean!"
This white-haired old man was the strongest person in their Holy Sword Academy, a nine-star forbidden spell mage, Granddo.
The students in the Holy Sword Academy will more or less hear rumors about him, either he destroyed the 100,000 army of the demon clan alone thirty years ago, or as the youngest nine-star forbidden spell mage in the history of the empire, he took over the Holy Sword Academy in the northwest.
However, in the eyes of most students, Grandor is just an old man who likes to sleep on the stargazing floor, and his iconic chaise longue has become a way for everyone to relax after studying astrology.
However, there are also a few people who have seen Grando's strength, and when the weather is gloomy at night, Granddo will occasionally wave his hand to wipe the clouds from the sky, revealing a clear night sky.
Think about it, when you light a candle and stay up all night in the silent library while reciting obscure incantations while cursing the astrology teacher, only to suddenly a gust of wind blows, and then you are pleasantly surprised to find that there is actually a moon tonight.
Well, in fact, most of the people who saw this scene were in which horn Gadda had their tryst, and whenever Dean Granddo was in a big deal, they would always say it to the unsuspecting girl.
"Look, tonight's night sky is clear because of you. ”
Then they counted on this statement to achieve some ulterior purpose, and Dean Granddo became their accomplice very innocently.
As for how this came about......
I'll tell you that Auston had a tryst with two women one night, and it just so happened that the two went to a banquet together that day, only to find out that he used the same trick when he hooked up with the two of them?
Hmph! This is the end of your own death!
Therefore, the people in the academy have a lot of respect for Dean Grando, and even a madman like Diablo has to admit that he is definitely not the opponent of the old dean.
At this time, Dean Granddo was slowly falling, patting Diablo and Auston on the shoulders and said.
"This year, many outstanding talents have appeared in our college, and you are all children of my college. I am sure that one day, your name will float across the territory of the Empire, and everyone will know it. ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Everyone cheered, and it was an honor for all of them to be recognized by a nine-star forbidden spell mage.
Grando's hoarse voice continued to recur in the tournament hall.
"In the Holy Sword Academy, I believe you have all learned something very useful. These things may stay with you for a lifetime, and you may also make lifelong friends. I hope you don't forget the good times you had in the College, which is a precious treasure in your life. Finally, I solemnly declare that you have retired!"
Amid the cheers and thunderous applause of the crowd, Grando's figure gradually became transparent until it disappeared.
Next, one by one, the students came to the center of the tournament hall, where there were many instructors, and Emilia and Barto were prominently listed.
One of the cadets took the badge and smacked Bartow the chest, but Barto didn't care and sent him flying far with his backhand.
"Hahahaha......"
A malicious laugh rang out, and the fallen student quickly got up, and Barto didn't use much force at all, but it just looked scary.
"Instructor Barto is still so strong. ”
When it was Diablo's turn to receive the badge, he walked up with a mutter, staring at Bartow's chest and causing Barto to retreat in fright.
"I said, you kid can't come here like this, I want to go out for a drink tonight!" Barto's face changed instantly, and he seemed to cover his chest as if he were a thief, for fear that Diablo would give him a drink.
"Don't be so stingy. Diablo said this, and slapped Instructor Bato on the chest lightly.
Barto was relieved, this little guy's strength grew frighteningly, and if he really wanted to give him a ruthless one, he might not be able to bear it.
At this point, Auston also walked up, but instead of walking towards Bartow, he leaned in the direction of Mentor Emilia.
"Teacher, thank you for your teaching over the past few years, I graduated today, and you are the person I want to thank the most. Auston's words were sincere and affectionate, and the moment he received the badge from Emilia's hand, a deep bow brought tears of relief to Mentor Emilia's eyes.
"Good boys, you are all good boys, praise the gods, give me the opportunity to teach you. Emilia wiped tears from her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed.
When everyone was in the joy of graduation, the door of the martial arts hall suddenly opened, making everyone's eyes involuntarily focus there.
The figure of a teenager appeared there, his pale blonde hair draped over his shoulders, and there was a white texture against the sunlight that came through the door. And the straight bridge of the nose gives people a sense of stubbornness that does not admit defeat, but at this time, the expression on his face is a little anxious, as if he is about to miss something important.
That's right, Cizer is really anxious right now, he almost missed his graduation just now!!
However, Cizer came just in time to award the Graduation Medal, otherwise, this year's graduation ceremony would have been completely out of his fate.
"Cizer, you're so slow!" Auston teased, fiddling with the badge he had just worn on his chest.
"Cizer is here, why is there so much nonsense!" Diablo couldn't get used to Auston's weird appearance, and he didn't know why, Auston had become much more handsome in the past two years, and Diablo had always wanted to punch him in the face.
"Oh?" said Auston with a wicked smile as he looked at Diablo.
"I didn't know that it was the barbarian who was beaten to the ground by me, and I told me again and again to spare him, so I mercifully let him go. ”
"Hmph! You were beaten up by me! You're embarrassed to say it!" Diablo said sarcastically, not to be outdone.
As soon as Cizer entered, he saw that the two men were arguing with each other, and the marks on their bodies were also very interesting.
Diablo's shirt has long been rotten, and because of his madness, his clothes will always be stretched apart by the skyrocketing muscles, and just changing clothes is a big expense for him.
And Auston is not very good-looking, a blue-black eye circle on his face is unusually conspicuous on his white face, and his pretended chic posture makes Cizer see that his waist is a little stiff.
So it is obvious that these two people are half a catty and eight taels, and no one has been able to please them.
Cizer greeted the two and hurried to Emilia.
"Sorry for the lateness, teacher. ”
Cizer apologized and bowed, and then received the Graduation Medal.
"It's good for young people to have something to do, but don't delay getting down to business. Emilia laughed. She is very optimistic about the child in her class, who is calm and diligent, and should make a difference.
Bartow, who was on the side, also came over, touched Cizer's body bones, and then said.
"I don't think I've seen you for a few days, you seem to be a little stronger again. Barto's puzzled expression made the scar on his head less terrifying, giving people an inexplicable sense of joy.
The instructor laughed, how can anyone grow so fast. Cizer sneered.
Cizer, of course, would not admit that in the days before he died, or even in the moments before he arrived, he had experienced an incredible thing!
