Chapter 12: The First Lesson

Although the person in charge said that it seemed that the time was quite rushed, when Xiu and Gray hurried to the place where the class was held, they realized that there was actually a little more time.

Although some of the other students have already arrived, the number is not very large, and there are only a few scattered students.

Looking at the scene of sand and stones flying all over the sky, Xiu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: This "Basic Tactics", it should be a theoretical course, right? Why is the venue of this class outside? And it is actually a place similar to a school field, what is the content of this lesson?

Thinking of this, Xiu couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky, it was really quite dazzling! He couldn't help but put on the hat on his robe, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, before going out today, he listened to Wu Yao's words and changed into a hooded robe!

Although Xiu now has a body and is no longer afraid of direct sunlight, I don't know if it is because of the nature of the undead that Xiu feels a little uncomfortable when he is directly exposed to the sun like he is now. The burn on Xiu's left hand could not be recovered, so he had to wrap the wound with a bandage.

Although Xiu's wound is not deep, it still looks quite terrifying, and he doesn't want the scars on his body to scare others into causing any more trouble.

And this guy Gray is spinning around at this time, looking idle, very conspicuous. This undoubtedly attracted the attention of a group of people who were sitting in the shade of a nearby tree. A guy with long pigtails and a little sloppy called out to him: "What are you doing? Which young master? Don't wander around like a headless fly, come and take a while!"

Gray stepped forward to take a closer look, but found that there were already four or five people crowded under the shade of the tree, and he was afraid that there was no extra place for him to settle down, so he said, "But I don't think your place is very spacious, I'm afraid I can't squeeze one more person, right?"

The pigtailed man didn't even think about it and said, "What's the problem?" and as he said he jerked a freckled guy next to him. The "little freckles" didn't stand firmly, and the whole body arched out, and fell into a.

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the little freckles, the other people in the shade of the trees immediately laughed, no one seemed to want to care about the condition of the "little freckles", and the man with long pigtails smiled at Gray proudly: "How is it? Isn't this free? Come over quickly!"

Gray obviously didn't expect the pigtailed man to do such a thing, and the expression on his face was also slightly surprised. However, Gray quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, my friend is still waiting for me elsewhere, I have to go and find him." With that, Gray turned away from the pigtailed man and walked towards where Xiu was.

Seeing that Gray ignored his kindness, the pigtailed man immediately lost his temper and scolded the little freckles who had just stood up.

And that little freckle just kept his head down and didn't speak, and he didn't fight back, and he kept silently enduring the beating and scolding of the pigtailed man, which made Xiudu feel a little unbearable.

At this time, many other students came to the school one after another, and they all witnessed the scene of the pigtailed man beating and scolding the little freckles, but none of them wanted to go up and persuade them, they all just watched.

"What's going on? No one cares?" Finally, Xiu couldn't help but ask a student standing next to him, wondering what the hell was going on.

"Why, you're new here? Don't you know? No one else can handle this. The pigtailed man was the young master of the aristocratic family, and the freckle was his henchman, which belonged to the pigtailed man's family, and he entered this war college, that is, a companion. How can the son of this aristocratic family treat his entourage, it is not something that outsiders can interfere with. Moreover, this accompaniment and the young master went to school together at the same age, which was already prone to conflict, so it became like this......"

In this world, most of the nobles are mages who have made military achievements, so spells represent power. In order for the family to continue smoothly, the nobles must ensure that the descendants of the family have gifted mages who can inherit the family business.

But after all, talent is a certain amount of chance, even if the parents are very good mages, the children born are not necessarily guaranteed to have talent. The children of mages are, at most, more likely to be gifted than ordinary children. I don't know how many aristocratic families have rapidly declined because there is no successor.

So in order to prevent this from happening, the aristocratic families naturally came up with corresponding countermeasures. The first is to call on the people in the family to have as many children as possible, when the number of children is large enough, there will always be one or two gifted children, right? At the same time, most of the nobles will also select gifted children from the commoners and adopt them into their own families, so that they can be used for themselves when they grow up. This is also a very common way among the nobility to increase the power of the family. Basically, every big family, more or less, will adopt some commoner children for training.

Although it may sound like a reasonable way to trade. The aristocracy provided good living conditions for the families of the commoners, and the children of the commoners, correspondingly, had to pay their loyalty and serve the families of the nobles. But if you really want to operate according to this condition, this method still has great drawbacks.

Because when the aristocratic family puts the young master and the commoner children of the same age together, it is inevitable that the two will be compared with each other. And the children of civilian families, in order to prove their worth, will always work extremely hard. And in the eyes of the aristocracy, this will become a basis for blaming their children for not working hard.

If this goes on for a long time, the aristocratic young master will inevitably begin to hate his companionship, feeling that he is being targeted, and thus feel that it is not pleasing to the eye everywhere to watch the companionship, such as the current man with long braids and freckles.

Of course, different families have different educational policies. There are also young masters and accompaniments whose relationship is bland or very harmonious, and cannot be generalized. But if you really want to talk about a little contradiction, the possibility is also very low, not to mention, many times, the noble young master has more than one companion.

So this situation between a man with long braids and freckles is not uncommon in the War College. It's just that the pigtailed man's personality may be more explicit, so he will directly expose this disgust to others.

The aristocratic identity of the pigtailed man actually has a certain deterrent effect in the hearts of other students. For example, in the shady place under the tree, even when the pigtailed men have not come, there are no other students to take advantage of the shade. They all preferred to bask in the sun rather than offend the nobles' domains.

And the pigtailed man just stopped Gray, and it was only because he saw Gray's noble identity that he expressed some kindness. If Gray was also a civilian, then the yellow hair would not even look at him. It can be seen that even in this war college, there is still an insurmountable gap between nobles and commoners!

Xiu couldn't help but sigh like this in his heart.

At this time, the lecturer who gave the lecture had also arrived.

This is a bearded old man with a strong physique. When he saw the students waiting there in twos and threes, he didn't talk nonsense, and shouted at the students: "Why are you still stunned? In a daze? Hurry up and divide the team, work in groups of three, and then start directly!"

What to start with?

Before Xiu could react, the other students had already formed a team of three.

Only Xiu and Gray were left standing together in a daze.

The bearded man looked at the two of them, and said impatiently, "New here?" Let's go first with the two of you today!"

Then the bearded man asked, "Which of you is with them?"

A group of two men and one woman raised their hands.

"Then you guys!" the bearded man chose them.

Then, the rest of the students sat down on the spot, and then looked up at the five of them.

What is this for?

Xiu looked at the bearded man blankly, his face at a loss.

The bearded man explained: "Tactics, in the final analysis, are to obtain the final victory through a certain method, as long as you can win." So you two groups go head-to-head! Knock each other down first and win. ”

Before the bearded man finished speaking, the three people on the other side took out their wands, canes or something, and looked like they were going to fight. On the side of Xiu and Gray, there is nothing.

Yes, neither of them had a magic weapon.

Xiu immediately had an extremely bad premonition: this time is not good!

Of course, losing is nothing more than suffering a little bit of flesh and skin, and Xiu Ben is not afraid.

But the biggest problem now is that Xiu has become an undead.

Becoming an undead means that you can't be injured, and you can't even bump into it! Because once you are injured, you can't repair it, and it's very likely to be fatal! But if you start this time, no one can guarantee that there won't be an accident, right? So what should be a good situation like this? It seems that you can only knock down the other party first!

Xiu weakly raised his hand and said, "I don't have a magic weapon......"

The bearded man looked at the other students and said, "Whatever you want for him!" Then he turned to look at Xiu and said, "Is the wand okay?"

Xiu nodded, and then he took his wand and began to take a closer look.

Then the bearded man looked at Gray again and asked, "Do you want it?"

Gray smiled and shook his head, then spat out two words very spinely: "Don't." ”

"I can't see it, you kid is actually a formation-type mage? It's rare to see you now!"
