Chapter 32: I Didn't Expect You to Be So Tender
The lively arena, at this moment, seems to be sealed in the bright sunshine. The light is still, the shadows cast by the Tower of Fantasy are still, the wind is still, the stunned spectators in the stands are still, and even the dust that floats in the arena seems to be frozen.
Only the sound of "Yes, young master", with a hint of playful sweetness, gently echoed in everyone's ears, and only the dozens of wind blades that swept everyone in Team A and Team S behind themselves, like a blooming yellow wild chrysanthemum, blooming in the wind!
Kyrol makes a move, and the target is his own members!
At that moment, the attention of Morey and the others was all on Roy. They had to concentrate all their strength in order to complete the task of suppressing the seventh-level magic of the Dance of the Crows. And behind them, there is no defense. They never dreamed that Carol would make a move on them.
The battle ended in an instant.
Just like the C-team members faced Kyrol before, this time, the poor members of Team A and S-team met the Storm Queen's sneak attack with their defenseless backs. Under the precise and saturated attacks of the dozens of wind blades, they didn't even have the slightest chance of surviving. He was sent out in an instant.
"Team E wins!" Supervisor Bol was stunned for a while before he couldn't help but smile and announce the final result.
His voice broke the deathly silence, but it didn't break the silence.
Everyone looked blankly at the girl in white who had succeeded in the first blow, with a slightly sorry shallow meaning on her face after the success of the prank, bypassing Morey and the others, walking quickly to Roy's side, and standing behind him obediently and skillfully. Like an obedient little maid.
"Young Master?"
At this time, everyone recovered from the shock.
Oh my. Carol is actually called Master Roy!
As soon as she entered the academy, she entered the top five of the school flower list, and was known as the most talented magical girl in the academy for decades, admired by countless noble children, and spoiled by Diarra and the teachers of the magic academy, is actually called Young Master Roy?
Bang. The whole grandstand blew up!
Shameless, shameless!
Not only the spectators in the stands, but even friends such as Tang Xiaoben and Luke, and even the students and instructors of the E team, all scolded.
Such a beautiful, talented girl is actually the maid of Roy, a bastard, and there is no heavenly reason. And there is no royal law! This is simply shameless.
If this is just the first shameless thing, then, obviously the two have a great relationship, and when they were fighting just now, he also shot arrow after arrow at others, making Morey desperately save him like a fool, tossing back and forth. It's the second layer of shamelessness!
The worst thing is that he could have had Carol join Team E before the game. Let Team E win the championship with a luxurious lineup of two magicians. He didn't do that, and instead let Kyrol stay on the S-team. It was not until this last moment that the anti-water sneak attack. This is the third layer of shamelessness.
The so-called shamelessness plus three levels. Isn't that a true portrayal of Roy?!
Meet a guy like that......... People looked at Morey, who looked like a wood sculpture in the center of the arena, and their faces twitched, and their hearts were full of sympathy.
This year's freshmen are the best in the first training camp for many years. Among the freshmen, Morey ranked first with his proud purple talent. On weekdays, it is regarded as a treasure by the teachings. Everywhere you go, it's the center of attention. Boys and girls hugged each other, all of them proud to join his small circle.
But such a proud son of heaven was slapped by Roy as a fool. Pity him, standing in the arena at the moment. Looking at Roy's Carol, his face was blue and white, as if he was either drawing his sword and fighting with Roy in the next second, or crying.
Especially the members of the various teams who know the inside story, they can't bear to look at it.
In the contestant area before the game, when he and Roy argued, how conceited and proud.
And the two sentences "I am more inclined to speak with victory" and "I will make you remember who I am" are so sonorous and powerful. But as a result, not only was he continued to be ignored, but he was also pressed to the ground and crackled and slapped loudly.
Roy is so bad. This bastard is confused, silent, and does all the outrageous black stuff. Planted in his hands, Morey can be regarded as a blood mold.
Morey, though, isn't the worst. Diarra was worse than him.
In the VIP seats, there was a dead silence.
The eyes of the supporters, the elders, the guests, the faculty of the academy, and the two deans were all focused on Diarra's face. There is sympathy, sarcasm, and undisguised disdain in the eyes. Many peeked at Diarra and whispered to each other, not a low laugh.
When Kyrol took the entrance exam, it was Diarra who personally brought it to the Academy of Magic as a guide.
Although it has been less than a month since she entered school, it is impossible for such a beautiful and talented girl not to be noticed, just as everyone is blind.
In less than three days, the news of a new beautiful student in the Academy of Magic spread throughout the academy. Even the second and third training camps are paying close attention to Carol because of her amazing talent.
Of all the information related to Cairol, Diarra is a non-negligible being.
From the day he led Cyrol into the academy, everyone believed that there was some kind of special relationship between Diarra and Cyrole.
Some say that Cerrol is Diarra's niece. Some say that Carol is a friend and junior that Diarra specially summoned from the imperial capital, and some say that it was Diarra who made Carol, and Carol came to the first training camp to add glory to Diarra and slap the face of Gustas, who treats Roy as a baby!
There are many such legends, and when people ask Diarra for confirmation, he always has a mysterious and smug smile on his face, neither admitting nor denying it.
This kind of silence is, in a certain sense, a kind of acquiescence.
At the very least, his attitude is equivalent to acknowledging the special relationship between him and Cairol. On weekdays, as a knight, he went to the magic academy to greet Kyrol, and he also looked like he was close to the elders in the family, which made everyone more and more sure of his judgment.
Can all be a qiē. By now, it has become a joke with Carol's "young master".
Not only does Carrow have nothing to do with him, but she is Roy's handmaiden whom he hates the most. To put it nicely, he is self-inflicted and famous, and it is difficult to say it...... This old crow has phoenix feathers in his asshole. I don't know how to be ashamed! I pretend to be a parent with a shy face, and I don't pee in the mirror!
In the past, because of the fact that he almost kicked Roy out of the academy, Diarra's vision was questioned. Later, when Carol came, everyone thought that Diarra still had a good eye for people. It's just a mistake with Roy. Unexpectedly, things ended like this.
With that alone, he can get out. With such eyesight, I still want to fight with Gustas, phew!
In the mocking gaze of everyone. Diarra gritted her teeth and turned pale. A pair of eyes, almost resentful, looked at Roy and Carol, and the nails in their hands were already deeply sunk into the palms.
"No!" beside him, a dejected Farley suddenly cried out, incoherently, "Kyrol is a member of Team S, how can she fight for Team E?" This is against the rules. It's a conspiracy. How can the competition be like this. I ask for an immediate decision to be made to Team E......"
Farley's words. There was a burst of laughter.
"Huh, weird. This temporarily joins the Magic Cadets. Didn't you declare it yourself?" Hough gloated.
"That's it, before Roy's game, but he asked clearly, and you all said that as long as he can find someone, anyone can do it. Steve said with a smile. "What, what you said is considered a fart?"
"Nonsense!" said Farley, anxious, "let him find someone, but he didn't say that she would make Carol rebel." She is a member of the S-Band. How can you help Team E fight? No, this game doesn't count......"
"Are you a referee or am I a referee?" Farley could not finish his sentence when he was coldly interrupted by Supervisor Pol.
Seeing that Farley was speechless with his mouth open, Pol glanced at Diarra and sneered: "The bullshit competition system you formulated, let two teams play one team, doesn't it mean that this is for the needs of going to the battlefield?
As he spoke, Bol waved his hand in the eyes of the students of the E Brigade who admired, respected, loved, and supported, and finally made a final decision: "Lao Tzu is the referee." I said Team E won. It's just winning!"
Hula, e battle stands, boiling.
All the students jumped up and high-fived each other. Everyone laughed and shouted and cheered, and hats and clothes were thrown all over the sky.
A few third-grade girls even started crying at that time. They hugged each other, cried and laughed, and they still couldn't believe it was true!
Back then, when these seniors were freshmen, they lost a whole year of resources because they didn't win the Inter-Squad Challenge. Until now, everyone still remembers the disappointment of the old students at that time, and still remembers the almost grave-like dead silence in the castle of Team E after the game.
The following year, they once again watched the juniors who were lower than themselves fail. At the same time, he also looked at the senior students and left the academy gloomily. From the time they entered the school to the time they left, they didn't even get a pill to assist in their cultivation, they didn't touch new training equipment, they didn't practice high-level martial arts, and they didn't really spend a single prayer time in the room of the Tower of Illusion!
The resources that originally belonged to them were deprived of them in this way. They are like a group of gamblers who can never win, they are forced to gamble again and again, forced to bet, and even forced to watch the winner take away their own qiē with a smile on his face.
And this time, they won.
It's not the fifth place that everyone is expecting, nor is it the fourth place that everyone dreams of. This not only means monopolizing 40 percent of the resources, but more importantly, they who have always been looked down upon and called the waste camp can finally straighten their backs and completely take off this hat of shame.
We are waste, what are you? If you can't even win with waste, isn't it better than waste?
Everyone had been waiting for this day for a long time, and when this moment came, they couldn't even believe it was true. Only by using all his strength to vent all his feelings, the cheers resounded in the sky.
Looking at the cheering E Brigade cadets, Hasten and Wald, Wu Ming looked at each other and smiled, and even Kameni, who never smiled, had a smile on his face. However, when his eyes met Roy off the field, he immediately made a straight face.
He saw very clearly that at the last moment, with the advance of Griffin and others, Team E actually had the upper hand, and Roy's strength had not yet been fully exerted. In a head-on battle, it is not impossible to win the other side. But Roy, a treacherous and slippery boy, actually defeated his opponent in this way.
is also winning, Roy's way of winning, but he doesn't like it, who has always been orthodox.
But the corners of Kameni's mouth hooked. I have to admit that this kind of winning method is really happy!
Amid the cheers, Diarra finally couldn't help it and brushed her sleeves away.
When passing by Gustas's side, the short and fat old man said quietly and lightly: "I have put up with you for a long time, and I have never wanted to conflict with you, because"
Diarra paused slightly, but heard Gustas say, 'I didn't expect you to be so tender. ‘
After saying that, the old man laughed proudly.
'Poof!' Diarra couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Hove and Steve on the side looked at each other in shame, and Ivy was even hotter. How did the first training camp have such a shallow and characterless dean?
A farce has finally come to an end.
The students who walked out of the academy were still in high spirits and talking, while the supporters, veterans and guests, after saying goodbye to Gustas, hurriedly got into the carriage and urged them to leave. They can't wait to tell their family and friends everything they see today.
Anne walked out of the academy with a few girls who were usually good.
As she walked out the door, she couldn't help but glance back at the amphitheater.
After today, she will report to the barracks like everyone else. Although she didn't know what she was doing, she knew that it was a completely different life from the academy.
From Bollabelle's peaceful life to the present, the road of life has taken a huge turn. The life at this moment is something that I could never have imagined before.
At that time, she was a carefree daughter, busy dressing up all day long, busy at the dance party to make the boys who pursued her swoon. The most annoying thing is that they talk about wars, armies, boring to death.
But now, he is also going to join the army to fight.
A war has changed so silently. He is no longer his original self, and his brother is no longer his original brother. And he is no longer the same person
The big head with a confused face, the little handyman who was always bullied and ridiculed, the boy who squatted in the open space in front of the castle with a fat dog all day long, watched the knight training and daydreamed with envy, I don't know when, had grown into the black-haired boy who shook all the spectators in the arena.
The knights who laughed at him, the knights who threw the reins at him and didn't even look at him, have now been left far behind by him?
Remembering that Roy looked at her before the game began, Anne was a little annoyed. I've already stood up. Join the others in denouncing him, and the bastard laughs. Annoyed and annoyed, she couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong?" asked a girl next to her.
"Nothing. Anne turned her head, a smile streaming from the corner of her mouth.
In the days to come, the little handyman who came out of Baron's palace will definitely bring more surprises to the world.
.....................
.....................
"Good boy. Hidden deep enough!"
The player area has completely become a paradise for Team E. Tang Xiaoben, Luke, Meng Meng, Eric and a group of friends finally squeezed into the celebratory crowd and grabbed Roy and rubbed it hard.
Nicole, Julie, and Eva watched from the sidelines, laughing.
Roy was able to lead Team E to victory as his friend. It's not a surprise at all.
From the realization to the present, this dark-haired guy can always bring surprises to everyone. This is the case when hunting Fujiki Ape, this is the case when rescuing Philip, this is the case under the city of Medding, and the result of the conflict with Charlescarlett and her gang is also like this.
If you see a lot, everyone will not be surprised.
They knew better than anyone how cunning this confused-looking guy was, and they knew better than anyone else what was in his thin body. What an amazing power it contains.
No matter what difficulties you encounter, no matter how strong your opponent is. They always believed that Roy must have a solution. This belief has long been ingrained, and to put it mildly, it is even stronger than the belief in the Holy Emperor!
However, what everyone couldn't understand was that this guy who was in ragged clothes in the Warcraft Mountain Range and was holding the fat dog Oliver with tears in his eyes. When did you become the young master of a girl as beautiful and wonderful as Carol?
It's just incredible.
You must know that since Kairol joined the academy, not to mention a group of noble children who have flocked to the academy with a smell, it is these civilian students, who don't know. Which one doesn't know?
Walking on campus, every time you see this quiet and shy girl, everyone will always stop and look eagerly. Whisper. Talk about her beauty, talk about her magical talents, talk about the news about her from hearsay.
In everyone's minds, she is so unattainable, not to mention ordinary civilians, even those nobles who look at everyone with their nostrils in front of her, and they are also a little ashamed of themselves in front of her.
But such a girl actually ......
Thinking of the appearance of Morey and a group of noble children in the stands at that time, everyone still can't help but laugh. Roy, this guy, is really bad.
Those noble children, who are arrogant and proud on weekdays, don't they rely on their own talent and the wealth and power of their families?
If we talk about the two battle rings that Roy released before, plus a series of extremely beautiful battle tables. Destroy half of the pride of the children of the nobility, then. Carol's last sweet, glutinous, gentle and docile "young master" destroyed all their pride.
When they faced the commoner Roy, who thought he was high above and had the wealth, status and power that he would never get, they didn't expect it. She is as shocked as a goddess, and she is flattered by only a smile, but to others, she is just a maid. This is called how embarrassing it is.
At this moment, Carol stood beside Roy with a smile on her face. Even the cadets of the E Brigade who celebrated the victory. After seeing Carol, it was also quite unkind to look at Roy again. All kinds of envy, jealousy, hatred.
In the middle of the bustle, Gustas and other high-level officials of the academy walked in. At the same time, a bachelor of affairs loudly announced a new resource allocation plan.
When they heard about the resources obtained by Team E, everyone present jumped up excitedly and cheered.
Because everyone is about to enter the barracks, this time the allocation of resources is not only training resources such as fantasy tower points, advanced exercises and brand-new equipment, but also weapons, armor, elixirs and other combat materials. Among them, including the batch of equipment brought by General Fano.
Some scholars have calculated that half of a knight's strength on the battlefield consists of his horse, spear, sword, shield and armor. If you strip these away, the death rate of a knight on the battlefield is even much higher than that of an ordinary soldier with basic equipment.
And for those knights who have a full set of magical equipment, known as the "Knights of Destiny", the importance of equipment is even higher. In the calculation of combat effectiveness, the difference in combat effectiveness between knights with equipment and knights without equipment is more than doubled.
Because of this, the significance of this resource allocation is especially important for these civilian trainees from poor families.
"Okay, now that you have time, you can register with the management department to receive equipment. ”
With the sound of the clerk laughing, the contestants' area erupted in cheers again. The excited young people rushed out and rushed to the small building of the logistics management department.
"Boy, come with me. Gustas hooked his fingers and freed Roy from under Meng's thick arm.
After making an appointment with Meng Meng and the others to report to the barracks tomorrow, Roy followed Gustas to a room in the central building. As soon as I entered the door, I heard Ivy's cold snorting in my ears.
"Hmph, young master. ”
For this woman who treats herself and raccoons as the same real thing, Roy has always been as far away as he is. At this moment, I also heard it or didn't hear it, and my face was confused and confused.
The people present were all the teachers in the dark camp, and when they heard Ivy's hum and remembered the previous game, they couldn't help but laugh.
Roy, this kid, is really too bad.
However, since he is the only disciple of the dark camp, the more cunning he is, the happier the group of old guys will be. Such a disciple. You can't suffer a loss when you go out. Otherwise, no matter how good the talent is, people are stupid, and everyone can still expect him to raise his eyebrows for the first training camp in the future?
It's good not to be played to death by others, and not to be angry with yourself.
"I called you here to ask you one more question. As soon as Gustas spoke, everyone's faces, including Ivy, turned stern, "If you choose not to participate in this war now, it's still too late. Once you enter the barracks, you are an Imperial soldier, and even we can't control you. ”
Looking at everyone's concerned eyes, Roy was moved. But he shook his head firmly.
"That's good. Seeing that Roy had made up his mind, Gustas and the others did not bring up the same topic again. Although everyone did not approve of their precious disciple's participation in the war at this stage, while worrying about his safety, they also hoped that he would have more time to learn and grow.
However, since this is Roy's own will, they are not prepared to force it.
Anyone who knows Roy's past knows that war is not the first time for him. Bollabelle. Medin City, this way. At only seventeen or eighteen years old, he is already an out-and-out veteran. Until now, the soldiers of the rabble army who fought side by side with him in the city of Medin are full of praise and admiration for him.
Those guys, but they are all high-level knights and high-level mages present. It's also hard to get the reckless people who are recognized. Ordinary students, in their eyes, are even more rookies who are too lazy to take care of. To be publicly praised by them is definitely an honor for a warrior to boast about.
"Now that you've decided. Then we won't advise you. However, on the battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, and you can't be without precautions. ”
With a wave of his hand, Gustas quickly spread out a map on the table in front of him.
Roy looked at it, although this map was much more rudimentary than the map in the bandit army, he was still very moved. You know, these old guys who spend all day in the dark camp doing their studies have no interest in military affairs at all. It's this map, I don't know where I got it for myself.
"I've seen General Fano......," said Gustas, "and the situation is not optimistic. ”
"What did General Fano say?" Roy asked.
"Today, General Fano has been given the exact location of the location where Archduke Adolf is trapped," Gustas pointed his finger to the map, "in Evening Mountain County." Camel Pass. ”
Upon hearing this, Roy couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Several scout squads sent by Fano were in vain. I heard that I was anxious that I couldn't get specific information from the front. Now that this location can be determined, it is naturally the news that Karenich and they gave.
Although it is not known how Karenic contacted Fano, it is certain that Fano chose to believe this information.
Hearing Gustas talk about the situation, everyone around him surrounded him.
"This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Grand Duke Adolf was besieged, he was able to hold on for a short time. Tomorrow, General Fano will personally lead his army to the front line south of the city of Edin. And the left-behind army, including the three major training camps, has two tasks. One was to consolidate the defenses of Muni City and prevent the Ferrets from rushing around. The other is to be ready for reinforcements when needed at the front. ”
Everyone nodded.
Such a deployment is to be expected. It was imperative for Fano to rescue Archduke Adolf. And the three major training camps with no combat experience stayed in Muni City, which is also a matter of course. If Fano were to pull these young people to the front now, it would be a real dizziness.
"But......," said Gustas, "privately, I have received information from other sources that the nobles of Lulian now have a great deal of disagreement over the rescue of Archduke Adolf. ”
"Divergence?" was a strange surprise to everyone, including Roy. What's so disagreeable about that? You know, Lulian was a province of the empire, but at the same time a kingdom. A large part of the Lulian nobility was directly loyal to the Grand Duke.
If Edward's Majesty was trapped, they had a disagreement on the rescue, and everyone still figured it out. But for the Grand Duke Adolf, who is closely related to them, they also have disagreements, which makes people puzzled.
"I've only heard about it privately, and I don't know what's going on," Gustas said with a frown, "I'm telling you today, I'm afraid that if General Fano leaves, something will happen in Muni City." In case the time comes to affect the situation at the front, or to involve us...... We have to be prepared. ”
Hearing Gustas say this, everyone looked at each other.
"Who will give the city of Muni to after General Fano leaves?" Roy asked.
He also raised this issue with Karenich and others when discussing the plan to rescue the Grand Duke Adolf. It's just that everyone's plan at that time was to take advantage of Fano's departure to pull away some troops to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. However, now it seems that things are not as simple as imagined.
"It's the Marquis of Ansel, a true nobleman with culture. Gustas's tone was full of respect. Obviously, he has great respect for the character of the Marquis of Ansel. However, to Roy's ears, such an introduction does not bode well.
A leading general, character, determination, and strategy are often the first things people describe him. And when Gustas mentioned the Marquis of Ansel, his first reaction was that he was a true nobleman with culture. Such a person is not bad, but in some cases, a good old man is not suitable to be a leader.
"Okay, no matter who is in charge of you, you can be honest with me. Gustas apparently didn't understand Roy's purpose in asking the question, so he glared at him and continued, "Don't worry, though. This time, although we old guys were not required to participate, the dark camp would be organized into a team. When the time comes, if there is anything, we will protect you in secret. ”
As he spoke, Gustas pointed at Ivy.
"Tomorrow, Ivy will join you in the barracks. She is responsible for the connection between you and us. ”
Roy turned his head in amazement, and saw Ivy's slightly smug smile, and for a while, he only felt that his head was bigger.
"Don't you, is it? Miss Ivy is too dangerous to go into battle. Besides, it is inconvenient for men and women in the barracks to ......"
"Needless to say, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of," Gustas unceremoniously interrupted Roy's words and finally made the final word, "That's it!" ...... (To be continued.) )
