Chapter VI Conflicts
On the way to the academy, Roy had been in a good mood.
Today is a day for him and everyone around him. Everyone couldn't wait to see him put on his training camp uniform and walk into the knight's holy land.
Along the way, everyone laughed and was full of interest.
Daddy Ken and Hans were still just smiling as mature men. And a group of women led by Sister Xiaolan chattered non-stop. Laughter, slapsticks, and exclamations can be heard all over the street.
As they approached the neighborhood of the Academy, Roy and the others went their separate ways. A year ago, Tom's death was a big lesson for him. Especially after knowing his identity, he became more vigilant about the safety of the people around him.
Roy knew that he was now a newborn beast in the jungle. Not to mention the Golden Dragon Family, any lord or a glorious knight like Alex a year ago can kill himself.
You may still have magic to rely on, but the people around you have no power to resist. Once targeted, any attack is deadly.
Roy didn't want to bring disaster to the people around him. Until he has enough strength to protect the people around him, the only thing he can do is to isolate himself from the people around him as much as possible. Especially in a place like the training camp, which is full of noble children and eyes focused, it is better for them to go separately.
As the crowd moved forward, Roy looked back on the past and couldn't help but sigh.
More than a year ago, when he was still a small handyman, he never dreamed that one day he would regain his talent for fighting qi cultivation and walk in this bustling crowd and enter the knightly holy land that he longed for when he was a child.
It was the verdict that changed the course of his life.
The verdict gave him not only the "magic core" in his body, but also the experience of fighting, martial arts, and the original cognition of strength.
During this period of time, in addition to cultivation, Roy has been carefully thinking and exploring the secrets between Dou Qi and magic.
He found that whether it was fighting qi or magic, it was the spiritual power of heaven and earth in its origin. The two are two and one, one and two relationships. The reason why there is a difference, or even a completely different path, is due to the difference in the cultivation of exercises and the use of power.
It's like some monsters, although the energy in their cores is the same. However, after going through different life patterns, the forms of these power tables are also very different. Some of the monsters are powerful, and some are extremely fast. Some monsters are good at attacking at close range, while others have the talent to unleash magic from a distance.
But whether they show spell skills or hand-to-hand combat skills, and whether they show water arrows, wind blades, or other forms, the source of their power is the same vein.
Therefore, Roy has been thinking about how to integrate his martial arts and magic into a system.
In the past, he had used the bone spear in the necromancy to charge with the bone spear in the necromancy in Bolabel and killed several Feili armed knights and cavalry who were very powerful to him at that time. But at that time, the use of bone spears was still not too subtle, and the speed was slow. If you meet a high-level knight, you only need a shock of the battle ring to disperse your fireball and the bone spear hidden in it.
Therefore, the best way is to use it by surprise in battle. For example, if you fuse a magic into a set of marksmanship, when you are fighting the other party, a fire dragon and flame tiger suddenly shake out between the guns and the fire, then the fun will be great.
As soon as he thought that if he could use this kind of trick on Augustus's body in the martial arts arena a year later, it would be best to put an eighteenth-level forbidden spell directly on his work, and the honest boy Roy trembled with excitement.
That's just a thought, though.
Over the past few hundred years, magic and fighting spirit have developed to the extreme. The two have completely different understandings of power and cultivation systems, so it is definitely not as simple as just talking about them if they want to fuse these two forces together.
This is one of the reasons why Roy is looking forward to entering the academy. After all, the depth of the inheritance of the three major training camps is not comparable to that of any knight academy. If you want to take it one step further and understand power more thoroughly, the Knight Training Camp is the way to go.
There was a crowd of people heading to the first training camp. There are smiling faces on the front and back, left and right. There were aristocrats in formal attire, commoners waving the flag of the First Training Camp, reserved ladies with small flower umbrellas, and children burrowing around like loaches in the crowd. ..., naturally, there are quite a few candidates and trainees.
The candidates looked nervous one by one, and they couldn't stop nodding their heads under the advice of their family members. And the students seemed much more natural. They are all stars in the crowd. As long as they see their uniforms, whether they know them or not, they will nod their heads with a smile.
Especially some of the more powerful and well-known students can bring a burst of cheers wherever they go.
People rushed to greet and talk to them. The older patted them on the shoulders in appreciation and encouragement, while the younger ones looked envious. There are also many girls who drag their female companions' hands and rush over, their beautiful eyes shining brightly, and their faces are red with excitement.
Roy watched as he walked, and it didn't take long for him to reach the door of the academy.
What he didn't expect was that at the door, he met Nicole and others who had just arrived at the academy.
Nicole's sharp eyes were the first to see Roy and she waved at him quickly. Luke was still steady, and greeted Roy with a smile. Julie and Roy are a little more distant from each other, but their eyes flicker when they see him.
And Meng Meng, who has the most straightforward personality, Eric and Eva, who is the most lively, were pleasantly surprised to squeeze through the crowd around him and rushed over to hug and say hello to him.
On this admission day, Team Nicole is also the object of everyone's attention.
The news that they had killed a super fifth-order demonic beast had already spread. Not only the students of the academy know about it, but also the fans of the academy regard this as a hot topic at the moment.
Regarding the team's achievements, there are those who believe it, those who doubt it, those who are happy and excited, and those who are angry and disdainful.
But in any case, these civilian teenagers have created a history of the first training camp. As long as there is no difference, today they will become the first civilian team to overwhelm the noble squad to reach the top of the Spring Trial Championship
Therefore, Nicole and the other six attracted everyone's attention from the moment they appeared. And when everyone saw Meng Meng and the others ecstatic hugging a black-haired teenager, they and the teenager were also curious.
In the previous rumors, everyone knows a little bit about the trial process of the Nicole team. Therefore, when they saw this young man, it was natural for everyone to guess if his identity was the guy who played a key role in killing the monster.
After greetings, they learned that Roy had come to apply for the training camp, and Meng Meng and the others didn't have time to chat with him, so they hurriedly led him to the central building where the examination room was located.
For their enthusiasm, Roy naturally could not refuse. But because of this, he had to endure the stares from all directions along the way.
Along the way, men, women and children, all pointed at them, and from time to time some of the civilian students and supporters smiled and greeted, waved their hands, and gave them a thumbs up, and some of the noble students looked at them obviously not well.
The more he walked, the more tense Roy felt.
As we approached the central building, there were fewer and fewer supporters, and the percentage of students in the crowd was getting higher. Everyone's gaze at Nicole's team became a little complicated. Even some of the students who were good friends on weekdays originally wanted to come over to say hello, but when they saw the unkind eyes of the noble students next to them, they all stopped in amusement.
Nicole and Luke are more thoughtful and very sensitive to the gaze around them. And Meng Meng, Eric and Eva are a little heartless. Laughing loudly along the way, looking forward to it, he didn't notice the disdain and contempt in the eyes of those noble students.
In the squad, Julie is the most embarrassed one.
Coming from a commoner family, Julie grew up so impressed by her family's poverty that she vowed to put herself in the ranks of the nobility she could only watch from afar.
Julie's luck was good.
At the age of seventeen, she successfully condensed the battle ring and joined the training camp, taking the most solid step towards becoming a knight.
In this world, becoming a knight means moving away from being a commoner and moving to a higher class. However, ordinary people only see the infinite scenery when Julie was admitted to the academy, but it is difficult to understand the hidden meaning behind this scenery.
Only Julie herself knows that there is an unwritten rule when the three major training camps recruit students, that is, if the time of condensation is more than eighteen, the training camp will basically exclude them from the admission list.
This rule has never been written before, but it is the strictest rule that the three camps have followed in recent decades. ..., because people have found in long-term observation that the future achievements of knights have a lot to do with their own talents. And the most direct expression of the level of talent is the age of the fighting spirit when it breaks through the first-order condensation battle ring.
The normal condensation time of the battle ring starts at the age of fourteen. One step every six months. The younger the age of the condensed battle ring, the higher the talent, and the older the talent, the lower the talent. This is exactly the same as the magician's ability to judge talent sooner or later with magical awakening.
A genius such as Augustus had already condensed the battle ring at the age of ten, and at the age of fourteen, he was already a just knight. As for the other geniuses, most of them broke through to the first order around the age of twelve.
People who have only condensed the battle ring at the age of eighteen will have very low future achievements without exception. Most people spend their entire lives confined to the two ranks of armed and brave knights. This is also the reason why so many soldiers, mercenaries and freelancers with the strength of armed knights and above cannot go further through the guò training camp.
They are also knights, but there is a huge difference between their status and that of knights from the academy. Even if they still have the way to fight and earn military merits, the greatest achievement in life is to become a small lord at most.
Julie knew she wasn't talented.
It was only in the last two months of the seventeen-year-old that she broke through the first level of vindictiveness, which was both her luck and her misfortune.
It was fortunate to be able to stand out from the many peers who dreamed of joining the academy and enter this knightly mecca. Unfortunately, in the academy, her qualifications are only in the bottom fifty of hundreds of her peers.
The brigade she is in is the lowest-level E brigade. The lowest rank means that you receive the least attention. Not only did the cadets treat the people of Team E as garbage, but even the instructors of the academy did not have much patience with them.
No matter what you do, the E-Team will always be last. They have no chance of scholarship, they can only use the most broken training ground, they can only ride old horses eliminated by other brigades, and they can only use weapons and equipment eliminated by other brigades.
Here, they're just a bunch of rubbish waiting to die. At the end of the three years, they will be swept away, and their greatest achievement is to join the army or get a position under a lord under the guise of a training camp graduate.
Julie was very unwilling, but had to accept this reality. No matter how smart, beautiful, and hard-working she is, in the small world of the academy, her every qiē has been destined by her talent and the number on her uniform.
When she can't see her future, Julie is like a traveler who is desperately running forward and has no time to catch her breath, and finally stops at an intersection. At this time, all she was left with was deep confusion and exhaustion.
From a poor little girl with no rag dolls and no beautiful skirts to being admitted to the training camp, she has paid too much.
While the other girls were playing, she was practicing. When other girls began to pay attention to their appearance and dress up beautifully every day, she was cultivating. When others went on dates to prom, she was still practicing.
In order to change her fate, she endured pain and loneliness day after day.
But the more painful and lonely she became, the stronger her obsession with things she had never enjoyed. This qiē has penetrated deep into the bone marrow along with the poor life, the painful and lonely cultivation memory.
Julie is smart and decisive. When she realized that it was impossible for her to go further by her own efforts, she decisively gave up her cultivation. Instead, he focused all his energy on the only capital he had left - beauty.
Julie's beauty is a kind of enchantment that is faintly revealed in innocence. This kind of allegitemous mixed charm is a fatal temptation for men, especially for these young people in the academy who are not deeply involved in the world.
Julie is well aware of her strengths. She is like a beautiful butterfly, flying around among the boys, sometimes pure and shy, sometimes sexy and charming. It seemed like she could be approached at any time, and it seemed as if she could never catch her.
There are quite a few people in the academy who pursue Julie. And Julie will be very decisive to cut off the wishful thinking of some civilian boys.
She has endured enough hardships since she was a child, and now what she needs is status and wealth. Only by marrying a nobleman can you completely change your life. She didn't want to waste her only advantage on so-called feelings.
She likes to sleep until the sun shines through the window lattice, likes to drink tea in the shade of the flowers and birds in the back garden, likes to use a dress lined with whale bones to become the star of the ball, likes to use milk to overflow her delicate skin ........., this qiē may be scolded for doing nothing, scolding for vanity and superficiality, but she doesn't care at all. She knew very well what she wanted, and what other people thought was just a breeze in her ears.
However, it is not so easy to marry into a wealthy family.
In addition to the strict hierarchy that would make the nobles say no to any commoner who tried to enter the family, the rules of exchange of interests in aristocratic marriages were also an insurmountable mountain on the road ahead.
For the sake of the family's strength, the aristocracy usually treats marriage as a transaction. Either it brings wealth, or power, or it brings higher status and power, and at the very least, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the family.
And Julie, apart from her own beauty, has no background. Her parents were nothing more than an honest couple of commoners, and in addition to her, there was an idiot brother and a young sister.
Such a family not only can't give her any help, but also expects her to change the situation of the family.
Therefore, everything can only be achieved by Julie herself. She had to be very careful in choosing her subjects, and very careful to recognize the true face behind the compliments, compliments, sweet words, and beautiful and expensive gifts of these noble children.
In this world, there are not many girls who think the same way as Julie. However, most of them ended up being coaxed into bed and then abandoned.
Julie knows this very well, and she must use her wisdom to ensure that she can neither let the other person succeed, nor make the other person lose patience, let alone offend the other party.
Originally, this qiē was not a problem for her, and she was even at ease. However, with the arrival of the spring trial, she found that the qiē she had worked so hard to manage collapsed on the day the academy's notice was issued.
Julie remembers very well that day, in order to achieve a better result, she found several aristocratic boys who chased her the hardest.
The first boy regretfully told her that he had joined someone else's team, and he was just one of the team members, and he couldn't be the master. The second boy said that his team had the will of the elders of the family and could not help her.
The third boy put the blame for the refusal on a noble girl who had a conflict with Julie, and the fourth boy didn't even see each other at all......
Julie knew very well how realistic this world was, but she didn't expect it to be so cold.
Either way, though, the spring trials are a must.
On the last day of registration for the academy trial, Julie joined Nicole's team and boarded the public carriage to Edin City.
It was supposed to be a frustrating and boring journey. Unexpectedly, because of Roy's appearance, they actually killed a super fifth-order demonic beast, and miraculously won the first place in the grade of the academy's spring trial.
The Spring Audition is one of the most important assessments of the college, not only because of the large number of credits in the grades, but also because of the generous rewards. Last year's first place not only received a set of exercises above level 4, weapons and equipment worth more than 3,000 gold Lulang, but also won 3,000 points per person for the Illusory Tower.
Phantom Tower Points, referred to as Phantom Tower Points, are a must for students to enter the Phantom Tower for cultivation.
Because the Illusory Tower can greatly increase the cultivation speed, it has a fatal attraction for students who are racing against time to improve their strength. A large part of the status of the knight training camp is due to the Tower of Fantasy.
However, the capacity of the Illusory Tower is limited after all, and not everyone can go there, nor can they occupy more if they are rich and powerful.
There is only one criterion for the academy to allocate the time spent using the Illusory Tower, and that is grades.
The higher the score, the more talented the student, the more time they spend using the Illusory Tower, and vice versa. However, no matter how talented the academy is, the number of Fantasy Tower points allocated in a year is only a little more than a thousand points.
And the Tower of Fantasy points awarded by the first team in the trial last year were 3,000 points per person.
This qiē, before today, was something that Julie didn't even dare to think about. It's like a dream. Maybe the dream was too beautiful, but it gave her a sense of unreality. She was a little overwhelmed.
Especially when she returned to school today, as soon as she walked into the academy, she found that there was something wrong with the eyes of the noble students she knew before. Previously, she was a person in their circle. And today, she walked among a group of civilian cadets, beating all the noble squads that had rejected her, becoming the champion of the Spring Trial, and getting the rewards that even they wanted.
Julie's mood is conflicted.
She knew very well how she would be ostracized after today in the aristocratic circles that had worked so hard to secure a place, but she didn't want to give up the reward she had worked so hard to get. It wasn't a fraud, it wasn't sent by someone else, but she gritted her teeth and got it in a dangerous battle.
Julie lowered her head and walked to Roy's left. Although they haven't been together for a long time, I don't know why, this dark-haired boy next to her always makes her feel at ease. This is the case when killing Fujiki Ape, and it is also the case when encountering the Phillips cavalry.
However, Julie's attempt to avoid eye contact not only did not work, but made some people more energetic. Especially the aristocratic children who knew her before, they stared at her like wolves one by one, sneering on their faces.
Finally, in the square of the central building, a group of nobles with unkind faces greeted them directly.
As soon as she saw Quincy and Bruno in the lead, Julie knew something was wrong.
Quincy hails from an old aristocratic family in the East, and his family is not only powerful in the East, but also a patron of the First Training Camp.
His best friend, Bruno, is also similar to him. Because their families have been friends for generations, Quincy and Bruno are in a league among the nobles of the first training camp, and they have many followers around them.
Today, Quincy and Bruno's families followed them to the bootcamp. In the crowd just now, several disdainful glances were cast by them.
Among Julie's suitors, Quincy and Bruno are her most fervent suitors and the most likely to marry her.
Because Quincy and Bruno's family belong to the kind of family that does not participate much in political struggles, but manages their territory like an iron bucket, they do not care too much about the interests in marriage.
Genealogy, both families have married commoner women. Many even married several commoner women, and it is clear that for them the satisfaction of lust is far more important than profit.
As Julie, once you marry any of them, you can get the position of a full wife. But these two people are the people Julie hates the most.
Quincy was arrogant, Bruno was cunning, and their family education not only did not give them the proper prima of nobility, but made them develop an arrogant temper, arrogant, and do whatever they wanted.
Although Julie is vain, she is definitely more eye-catching than most people. Usually when I see Quincy and Bruno, they can hide.
Quincy and Bruno had no such awareness. In their concept, the person they fancy is their forbidden body, and no one wants to approach it.
At this moment, as soon as she saw the iron faces and cold eyes of Quincy and Bruno who strode up to meet them, Julie knew that not to mention herself, even if there were nine cows pulling behind, they would not be able to stop them who had always been lawless.
Of all the first-year students, the people who hated Team Nicole the most were Quincy, Bruno, and their group of tryouts. They were in the top five in terms of combat effectiveness, and they could have made it to the top three. It was Nicole's team who forced them out
This matter has been spread in the academy, and the civilian students are simply envious of the good luck of Nicole and others, while those noble children who usually have conflicts with Quincy have been ridiculing Quincy about this matter.
This anger has long been buried in Quincy's heart. If that wasn't enough to make them lose their minds, then they were completely out of control when they saw Julie walking with Luke and Meng Meng, the civilian boys, in full view.
To these noble children, these damned commoners are simply slapping them in the face in public
Luke, who are these people?
It's the garbage of the E team, it's the untouchables they usually meet, they don't even bother to raise their eyelids, they can enter the academy, and they are already the Holy Father's grace and ancestor accumulation of virtue. However, not only did they cheat in despicable ways, but they also swaggered around in front of everyone on the first day of school with the women that the whole house knew belonged to them..., and almost the moment they saw Nicole's team, Quincy and Bruno had already met them.
"Julie, come here" After stopping everyone, Quincy's gaze swept over Nicole and the others, snorted coldly, and said to Julie.
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the faces of Nicole and the others, who were suddenly stopped, changed suddenly. Of course, they knew what the Quincy gang was holding them back. The hostility of the other party is as undisguised as a bright knife.
"What are you doing in a daze, calling you over?" said Bruno coldly when he saw Julie standing still with a embarrassed face.
"Quincy, Bruno," Julie smiled, stepping forward slightly, trying to ease the mood, "you guys are ......"
"Why, after taking the first place in the trial, you look down on us friends?" Bruno said to her with a sneer.
This sentence directly hit Julie's vital point.
She knew, let alone admit it, even if she just kept silent, she would be squeezed into opposition to all the noble cadets. She could ignore Quincy and Bruno, but she couldn't afford to lose that circle
"How so? I'm just lucky. That's comparable to you, and you killed a fifth-order limestone earth dragon hard. The corners of Julie's mouth hooked up a strange smile, secretly glanced at Luke and the others beside her, and slowly walked to the opposite side.
She only hopes that after she walks over, she can resolve the current antagonism.
She saw that in the almost provocative and rude eyes of Quincy and Bruno, the faces of Luke and the others had changed, and the straight-tempered Meng Meng and Eric clenched their fists and looked at each other without showing weakness.
"It's nice to win the game, aren't you?" said Bruno, although he was talking to Jolie, his grim gaze swept over the faces of Luke and the others.
"Bruno, shall we go over there......" Julie tried to divert the subject.
"Ask you, *son. Bruno said coldly.
This sentence made Julie's mind confused. She looked at Bruno, unable to believe that the words were coming out of his mouth.
"I don't speak, I seem to be very happy. Quincy on the side looked at Julie, with a hint of revenge on her face, and sneered, "How many times did you let them for this?"
"Quincy, you" Julie's face turned pale, and her hands and feet were cold.
"Look at this innocent look," Quincy laughed, the corners of her mouth hooked, "If it wasn't for their enjoyment, how could they have cheated with you?"
Eric, who was hot-tempered in "fart", couldn't hold back anymore and shouted angrily, "Whoever cheats, you cheat"
Before his words landed, Bruno slapped him with a backhand: "There's no place for you to speak, shut up"
"Smack" Bruno's slap landed on Eric's face.
Time beats in at this moment. Bruno is a four-star armed knight, and his strength is originally much higher than Eric's, plus the two sides are facing each other, the distance is close, and the shot is sudden, Eric can't dodge it for a while.
This slap made everyone stunned. None of the people present expected that Bruno would say that he would make a move. And in front of so many people at such an important venue as the entrance day. arrogant and domineering, even to the point of Si
Eric covered his face, Mong clenched his fists fiercely, and Luke put his backhand on the hilt of his sword.
But just when the most impulsive Meng Meng's eyes were red, a tiger roared, and he rushed over with an angry fist, people saw that a foot sticking out of the diagonal ground had already taken the lead and kicked Bruno in the lower abdomen.
It's Roy
When Nicole and the others' hearts suddenly accelerated, the black-haired boy rushed forward like a leopard. His angry shouts rang out in his ears.
"Hitting" ...... ,
