383. Double reed

In the past, Badaling's hard power was not too strong, because of the grudge against the big forces such as the Indian Cave and the Sunset Swamp, and they were worried that these orphans who had no ability to protect themselves would be implicated, so they forged their identities for them and secretly went to the famous academy of the empire to further their studies, and now Badaling has become one of the top super-level forces in the empire, and anyone or force who wants to deal with the Yanjing family has to be weighed repeatedly.

Taking advantage of Jiajing's birthday party this time, Yan Mei wanted to take these orphans who had followed her since childhood back to Badaling and have a good time for a few days.

The eleven orphans studied at the Ilha Academy of Magic, the Imperial Knight Academy, and the Athena Military Academy, and were escorted by ten family guards when they went, and in order to keep their identities secret, they rarely even sent letters back to Badaling.

Renaud is the oldest, and he studied at the Athena Military Academy with Hughes, which is a famous military academy of the Empire, second only to the Royal Military Academy, and exports a lot of military generals and strategic talents for the Empire every year.

Although Renaud and Theseus were only twelve or thirteen years old, their minds were much more mature than those of ordinary human teenagers. They knew Jiajing and Yanmei's concerns, so they usually lived a low-key life and didn't dare to show off, plus they had practiced Nanquan, and their physical fitness was much better than that of other teenagers, and there were a few guards who followed closely when they came and went. Others can't figure out where the two of them come from, and they don't dare to provoke them casually, so most of them have lived peacefully in the past two years.

The two studied hard, practiced Nanquan, and their brains slowly became smart after higher education, and in just two years, they actually jumped four levels in a row, and were directly promoted from the first class of the primary military to the second class of the intermediate military, which is a very rare thing in history.

The Athena Military Academy is divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, and special military training, and each level is divided into three classes. Because of the need to learn a variety of cultural knowledge, martial arts, spiritual power, magic, etiquette, etc., basically each class has to stay for two years, want to complete the three levels of military training courses, I am afraid that it will take fifteen or six years, the qualifications are average, there is not so much time to complete the four-level training, often after completing the intermediate military training to apply for the graduation examination, and Renault They only took two years to complete the course that lasted seven or eight years for ordinary people, and the talent is excellent.

However, as their performance stands out, they still attract more and more attention from others. The students of the Athena Military Academy come from various forces in the north and south of the empire, according to the power faction of the family to which they belong, it is natural to form a gang, Renault and Theseus live a low-key life, at first the leaders of these academies did not know their identity and origin, and they still had a little scruple about not daring to take the initiative to pull them into their own faction, and later saw that the two did not have any faction, and they went in and out of the ten guards who were barely passable, and tried several times, and saw that the two refused to reveal their origins, and it was estimated that they were just the children of some broken nobles。

Renaud and Xiusi naturally didn't want to join the strife of these academy factions, they just wanted to finish their studies quickly, so that they could go back to Badaling to help Brother Jiajing and Sister Yanmei, they heard that the influence of the Yanjing family was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people in the academy began to talk about this mysterious family that suddenly appeared, and their pride increased greatly, and they looked down on these noble children, where would they agree to their request to join the other party's faction, so they offended many people, if they hadn't been specially taken care of by their mentor and hadn't joined any faction, otherwise they would have been subjected to the black hands of various noble children。

The struggle for power is everywhere, as long as there is human activity, whether it is the upper class, the middle class, or the peasant class, the class struggle is so, not to mention this military academy that has produced a large number of middle and lower class officers in the empire!

The performance of Renaud and Hughes is excellent, if nothing else, they will be outstanding generals of the empire in the future, if they can't pull such talents into their own formation, it is not surprising that some ruthless noble children will strangle them in the cradle.

is like the animal girl in Guangxi who dismembered her best friend with a knife because she was jealous that her best friend was better looking than her!

At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, their nature is similar, and their habits are far away.

It can be seen that some people are not born good.

And Jiajing and Yan Mei had never experienced the power disputes of the empire before, they had never thought about the various methods in the academy, and they thought that sending a few guards with average strength to protect them would not attract the attention of others.

Renaud and Xiusi have been practicing Nanquan, it is inconvenient to live in the academy dormitory, and there are ten guards to follow, so they rented a small courtyard outside, and this day they just practiced riding and marksmanship from the academy's martial arts training ground, and when they left the school gate, they were about to go back to their residence, and in a small alley, they were blocked by more than a dozen teenagers who were about seventeen or eighteen years old and dressed as nobles.

The gang of aristocratic teenagers was led by a young man in his twenties, with a fair face, often with an easy-going smile, but his eyes flashed a hint of gloom from time to time, wearing a blue brocade robe trimmed with gold threads, with a piece of crystal green jade tied around his waist, and a short sword inlaid with gems hanging on the other side.

He looked at Renault and Theseus, whose faces changed slightly, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, I don't know what you thought about the first two days, how did you think about it?"

Renault and Xiusi usually practice martial arts in addition to classes, and they are often exposed to the sun on the martial arts training ground, but their complexion is three points darker than when they were in Badaling, and they are relatively strong. Although he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, he didn't look much younger than the group of teenagers in front of him, and when they looked at him, Xiusi's eyes fell on the brocade-clothed nobleman, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Young Master Bora, we are just two ordinary students, and we don't dare to climb high!"

Bora nodded slightly, "Oh, that's right! I heard that guy Grunton also invited you to join their faction, did you agree?"

Grunton is the core figure of another big faction of the Athena Military Academy, and is a member of the Gula family, one of the five major families of the empire, who came to study at the Athena Military Academy, the purpose is to attract the middle and lower-level officers of the empire to enter the faction of the Gula family.

Xiusi hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, we just want to study well, please let Master Bora let us go!"

Bora smiled coldly, "I've already checked your identity, although I can't find anything, it doesn't mean that I don't dare to touch you!" He looked at the group of noble children around him, and then said: " Believe it or not, with the power of my Bora family, even if I kill you here today, no one will find me afterwards, don't think that if I get the favoritism of the mentor, I will force the heavens, if I really want to deal with you, even if the tutor of the school knows, I will never dare to squeak, if you don't give me an explanation today, you will never want to walk out of this alley! If you are afraid of Gulamton, you can rest assured, our Bora family, the Gula family still does not have the courage to move!"

Bora is right, the Bora family and the Gula family are both the five major families of the empire, and they are powerful, so naturally they will not tear their faces and fight for the sake of two little students.

It seems that if Renault and Theseus don't agree to Bora today, it will be really difficult to get out of this alley. Although the strength of the two of them is not bad, and they will not fall into disadvantage when competing with the senior fighters of the academy, Bora has brought over a dozen henchmen with good strength, and he himself has the strength of a silver warrior, and he is confident that he can wipe out the two little guys in front of him.

Renault secretly analyzed it, and couldn't help but secretly complain, the guards are not here now, even if the two of them face Bora alone, they will definitely lose or win, not to mention that the other party has more than a dozen noble subordinates who are not weak.

He and Theseus glanced at each other and nodded at the same time, Renault took two steps and said to Bora in a deep voice: "Since Young Master Bora thinks so highly of us......"

Before he could finish his words, the two fists hidden in his sleeve suddenly flashed a faint blue light, and they struck out quickly from the sleeve, and the clenched fists smashed hard into Bora's lower abdomen.

At the same time, Hughes, who was behind Renault, raised his right foot and kicked up the dust, and the two daggers with glittering essence stabbed straight into Bora's right waist like poisonous snakes.
