Chapter 18: True Talent

Seeing Roy nodding, everyone in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

It couldn't be better that things could be resolved this way. Otherwise, if it drags on like this, I don't know what will happen on this school day with all kinds of accidents.

This year is the year of competition in the three major training camps, and the first training camp, which is already behind the opponent, can no longer withstand any toss.

"Alright," Gustas said, clapping his hands at the Faculty and Affairs, "let's all go to work." It's been too long, and we have to hurry up and prepare for the next round of assessments......"

"Wait!" Diarra interrupted Gustas with a sudden interjection. said: "Since he has been admitted, the brigade he assigned should be determined." ”

"This ......," Gustas looked embarrassed, "where do you think he should go?"

"Of course it'......." Farley on the side didn't hesitate to prepare to throw Roy into the E-Brigade of the garbage. However, as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Diarra with a wave of his hand.

"Since it may be a seven-color talent, then I'll assign him to the S team. Diarra said expressionlessly.

As soon as Diarra heard Diarra's words, the supporters, senators and aristocrats present looked at each other, and their eyes showed appreciation and admiration.

No one expected that Diarra would actually speak for Roy. In this way, although he is a little stubborn, he is still an upright knight in essence. Not to mention anything else, this selfless heart alone is really rare.

However, Gustas and Roy cursed at the same time.

"Old fox!"

Gustas is well aware that in the academy, the S Brigade is almost Diarra's backyard. If Roy is sent to the S-Brigade. In the next three years, he will have at least 10,000 ways to clean up this kid.

And Roy's mind was moving very fast. Looking at the teachings of the S Brigade, and then thinking about the students of the S Brigade who he beat before, he knows what kind of treatment he will have if he falls into the hands of the other party even if he thinks about it with his toes.

If nothing else, at least you don't need to do things like cleaning toilets and stables. Don't expect to learn any real skills. If the other party does something to drive him out of the academy, or even deprive him of his knight qualifications, then this loss will be a big one.

"No!" Roy and Gustas objected almost simultaneously.

Hey?

Everyone present was stunned. Gustas opposed, and perhaps he had a point. It's strange that Roy himself is against it.

You must know that whether it is the cultivation resources, the teaching tendency of the academy or the future prospects, the students who came out of the S brigade. are far better than the cadets of the ordinary brigade. Isn't there a problem with your brain against yourself entering the S brigade?

Hearing Roy's objection, Gustas was also stunned, but his heart was immediately happy. Obviously, Roy also knew that it wouldn't be a good thing for him to get into the S team. This saves the words of explaining to this kid later.

"Roy, what is your opinion?" Gustas asked Roy with a kind face, turning his head away from Diarra's face.

"My talent is low. There is still some self-knowledge of this......" Roy's eyes swept over Farley's body, and said playfully: "I heard that Farley's teaching is from the S team, isn't it a trouble for a person like me to mix in a group of geniuses?"

As soon as they heard Roy's words, and then looked at Farley, many people present instantly understood.

"What do you mean?" Farley's face sank suddenly, and he said coldly, "Letting you into the S Brigade is your cultivation." You don't want to be grateful, but you still pick and choose. Not to mention how talented you are. With such a character, I can assert that your future achievements are limited!"

There was a frown, and some thought that Farley was too heavy. Others thought Roy was a little ignorant.

At this time, Philip coughed lightly and said, "I have a ......."

Everyone turned their heads, their eyes focused on the future heir of the Momiji Karei family. In the current Lulian War, the Knights of Momiji played an important role. Hence the weight of Philip's words. Definitely no less than Archduke Adolf.

"I think," Philip's gaze rolled around Roy's face with bad intentions, and then looked at Kameni, "Whether the seven-colored talent is true or not, I think this kid needs to be disciplined strictly." It was only fitting that he would be handed over to the always strict Kameni teacher. "...," Philip. You idiot!" Roy's eyes widened and he cursed inwardly.

He never dreamed that he was racking his brains to avoid Kameni here, but Philip pushed him directly into the fire pit.

On the other side, Kameni frowned as well.

He had a bad impression of Roy in the first place, especially his casual attitude towards the knighthood and his personality that went against the rules of knighthood. After witnessing what Roy did today, I felt even worse about him.

But he didn't expect that Philip would come up with such a proposal.

However, before Roy and Kameni refused, Farley and the others on the side were already gloating.

"I agree. ”

"I'm for it too!"

In addition to them, Diarra and Gustas also had a rare agreement on this issue. They all agreed.

Kameni's new position is the Grand Instructor of the E Brigade, and Philip's mention of yì simply speaks to their hearts.

"Alright! That's it. Continue with the exam. Gustas made a decision, turned to Roy and Kameni and said, "Come with me!"

..................

..................

After an episode of "puppet malfunction", the knight assessment continued.

After the academy confirmed that the seven-color talent was just the product of a glitch, the people were a little disappointed. However, with the rounds of assessments one after another, everyone quickly put this matter behind them, and only joked about how excited they were at the time and how the people around them got carried away.

For the current result, everyone is actually prepared for a long time.

After all, even the most ardent fans are when they see the seven-color talent. The first thought that came to my mind was not surprise, but disbelief

In this world, Augustus is recognized as a genius among geniuses. Even his tricolor talent, known as the favor of the gods, had been doubted for a long time and could not be believed, let alone an ordinary commoner.

In a small southern province that has never been rich in knights, there is a seven-color talent, which feels as ridiculous as a dragon hatching in a chicken coop.

Not to mention the seven-color talent that surpasses the four colors of Augustus, it is the same three-color talent as him. It's impossible for the world to find a second one!

Therefore, when the candidates in that round came out and told everyone that the seven-color talent was due to the failure of the puppet, and this statement was confirmed by the academy's teaching and business masters, everyone naturally merged it with the speculation in their own minds, and did not even have the slightest suspicion.

But. Not everyone can accept this result so easily.

For example, Bobby and Cass.

After being taken aback by the incredible seven-color talent, the two of them heard that this was actually a puppet failure, and they couldn't laugh or cry, and they couldn't tell what it was like.

Intellectually speaking, of course, they would not believe that there are seven colors of talent in this world. Emotionally speaking, they were also the ones who didn't want the geniuses of the Seven Colors to fall into the first training camp among all the people present.

I don't know why, after hearing the official explanation of the first training camp. The two of them were not at all relaxed. As the instructors of the training camp, they instinctively felt that something was wrong from the stiff expressions of those business bachelors and teachers in the first training camp.

As far as they know, since the founding of the Saint Solan Empire, in the past hundred years, there have been thousands of puppets in dozens of branches of the three major training camps, and there has never been any "malfunction"!

A glitch that generates the seven-color talent.......

It's just as unbelievable!

.............

.............

Roy and Kameni followed Gustas through the long hallway. Came to the dean's office.

Along the way, Kameni had a calm face and only followed Gustas, not squinting. Nothing seems to catch his attention.

Roy, on the other hand, looked around and felt uncomfortable. The thought of being Kameni's student made him want to get Philip and beat him up!

Open the door and walk into the room. Roy and Kameni couldn't help but frown at the same time.

Gustas' office is huge. The dΓ©cor was also gorgeously and tastefully, with sofas, bookcases, desks and carpets apparently cleaned every day and spotlessly clean.

But. This is limited to the first half of the office. And the second half of this room...... If there was to describe it, Roy could only say that this place must have just been bombarded by a magic cannon. ..., this part is obviously where Gustas usually does the real yΓ n. A huge workbench in the center occupies 40 percent of the area. There are piles of bottles and cans all around. Stacks of books and parchment notebooks lay out in a messy manner, and the floor was littered with fragments of different utensils and powders of solid materials.

Roy even found several bottles of overturned Demonic Ink, scrapped scrolls, Demonic Plates, and a few small pieces of Demonic Cores on the ground.

This old man of a ruiner!

Gustas seemed accustomed to seeing people look at his office, and was not at all ashamed of Roy and Kameni's reactions.

"You may be seated. He closed the door, motioned to the two of them, then went to the wooden cabinet and poured two cups of coffee himself, and walked up to Roy, "Come and try the coffee that a friend of mine brought me from Banan across the ocean, something good that money can't buy." ”

Roy and Kameni took their coffee and took a sip.

Roy smacked his lips, trying to tell how it was different from regular coffee, but Kameni didn't even say anything.

Obviously, Gustas didn't call them here to taste coffee.

Defeated in front of two uninteresting fellows, Gustas shrugged his shoulders depressedly, sat down and asked, "Roy." There's a question I've always wanted to ask you. ”

Roy touched his nose.

He was sure it was his first day of meeting Gustas, and he believed the same should have been. So he couldn't figure out where to start with this question that he had "always wanted" to ask.

Don't...

"Frankly," asked Gustas earnestly, spreading his hands, "I don't understand why you gave up your magical talent to apply for the knighthood. As far as I know, your extraordinary magical talent is much higher than your ordinary Fighting Qi talent!"

Roy listened. His brow furrowed.

Gustas overlapped the words "extraordinary" and "extraordinary" in his magical talents, but only the word ordinary in his vindictive talents. Obviously, the other party knows much more about him than he imagined.

I was a little surprised, but I thought about it. Roy quickly guessed the key.

From Hans's mouth, he already knew that the three major training camps were looking for their own business. And among the three major training camps, the people who know him best happen to be in the first training camp.

Whether it is Nicole's team who once rescued Philip together or Tang Xiaoben, who fought side by side in Edin City, they all know that he is a magician. Even Kameni beside him. He had also witnessed the battle between him and the Black Skull bandits.

If you have the heart, you can ask it just by asking. Therefore, it is not surprising that Gustas, as the dean, knows himself.

However, Roy did not expect that the first conversation between Gustas and himself was such a question that he hated. Obviously, the other party, like Kameni, did not want to become a knight himself. in their eyes. I should be an honest magician.

Thinking of this, Roy was a little angry.

Becoming a knight is a dream that he and Tom cannot afford to be desecrated by anyone. It has nothing to do with talent, future, power, wealth, and nothing to do with others. Regardless of one's own talent, that is not a reason for others to interfere with dreams.

"Can't you become a knight if you don't have a lot of fighting talent?" Roy asked rhetorically, suppressing his anger. But. The displeasure in the tone can be heard by anyone.

"Of course not. It is your freedom to choose what career you choose. I'm just a little weird. Gustas said with a smile.

"I love being a knight. Roy said with a blank face. The answer was exactly the same as when he answered Kameni.

Sure enough, Kameni frowned.

"Like?" Gustas was a little depressed. He didn't know that Roy and Kameni had had an unpleasant conversation, and naturally he didn't understand why the kid stood up like a hedgehog when he heard the question.

He wasn't going to ask any further.

Although curious about the question, he managed to coax Roy into the academy. I don't want to waste my work at this time. After all, there's still a lot of time to come, and right now, Bobby and Cass are waiting outside.

Gustas was sure before tying Roy to his own ship. As soon as Bobby and Cass know Roy's identity, they will immediately rush over like sharks that smell blood. Whatever it takes to get Roy out of the first training camp. ..., however, now that the beginning had begun, Gustas decided that he could at least give it a little try.

"Of course we respect your own choice," Gustas patted Roy on the shoulder and turned his head to look at Kameni, "Mr. Kameni is the Grand Instructor of Team E, though. If you choose a knight, you can only enter the E team......"

"Team E?" Roy was surprised.

On the way to the city of Munny, Philippe told him a lot about Kameni. Therefore, he knows Kameni somewhat well.

Roy knew Kameni's place in the minds of the cadets, and he knew how good he was at training. Therefore, he never expected that Kameni, who was known as the most outstanding teacher in the first training camp, would be assigned to the E team.

Isn't this a waste of talent?!

"Of course, you have another choice. ”

Seeing the surprise on Roy's face, Gustas mistook it for his resistance to Team E, and hurriedly said, "If you want, I can directly admit you to Team S of the Ministry of Magic." You can even teach you magic yourself. With your talent, it won't take more than two years to ......."

It's a pity that Gustas finally seized the opportunity to throw the bait, but before he could finish throwing it away, it was already ignored by Roy.

"No," Roy said categorically, "Team E is Team E." I don't care. ”

"You don't care, I care!"

Kameni's cold and hard voice rang in the ears of the two.

Roy was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Kameni sitting precariously, and said to him with a stern face: "I don't need a student who can't even tell the truth from the fake in the Douqi talent test. At the same time, the E Brigade is not something you say you want to enter. ”

As he spoke, Kameni turned his head to look at Gustas: "Dean Gustas, I refuse him to join the E team!"

Khan of Gustas. All at once it came down. He gave Kameni a wink, but Kameni turned a blind eye and only looked back at Roy coldly.

And Roy, too, glared at Kameni without showing weakness.

Looking at the appearance of the two, Gustas had a headache. He didn't expect Roy to enter the academy with twists and turns, and even Kameni actually jumped out to create obstacles. That's not going to work!

He said simply: "This ....... Kameni taught that Roy's entry into the E Brigade was the decision of the Academy. You can't say no. ”

"That's good," Kameni said categorically, without looking back, "Then I'll be ahead of the curve, even if he joins the E team, I won't teach him anything." ”

This. Gustas was in his heart's content. As long as Roy stays in Training Camp One, the rest is easy to say. He even wished that Kameni had forced Roy to the side of the Ministry of Magic with three or two blows. But on the surface, as the dean, he has to say more or less two words.

"I'm afraid this is not good, as a teacher, our duty is to cultivate talents for the empire, so that every student can learn real skills here......"

Gustas babbled on the side.

However, his words. Roy didn't listen to a word.

He glared at Kameni.

Although Kameni's appearance of treating the E Brigade as a treasure makes people feel ridiculously pedantic. But for some reason, Roy couldn't laugh. In this old-fashioned middle-aged man, he felt a kind of pride and stubbornness worthy of respect, belonging to knights.

This pride and stubbornness he felt in his grandfather William, who took him on a trip in the wild for ten years, in Baron Brian, who died heroically, and in the royal knights Hugo and Punk.

Damn the Orthodox Knights!

Facing Kameni's contemptuous eyes, a feeling of refusal to admit defeat rose from Roy's heart. He can be used as a cheat against Diarra. But he couldn't deal with Kameni in the same way. That's an insult to the other person, and an insult to yourself.

"And what do you want from me?" Roy asked.

"Prove it to me!" Kameni said word by word, "Use your vindictiveness, not crooked ways, to prove that you are worthy of my qualifications!"

"Do you want to test?" Kameni taught, so you don't need it?" said Gustas, one head and two large, and the mud was close to him.

The old man felt that it didn't matter if Kameni taught it or not. But in case Roy's real test scores can't even enter the academy gates, then...

"Well, I'll prove it to you!" Roy got up.

His thin body was as straight as a javelin. ...,..................

..................

Not far from Gustas's office, there is an indoor training ground with a variety of training equipment.

The room is at least forty meters long. More than twenty meters wide. Four large windows occupy an entire wall in the back. Mirrored glass, sunlight streaming through the windows, and heavy wooden windowsills make this room feel unusually peaceful.

When Gustas sighed, put the magic core into the puppet, opened the magic circle and stepped aside. Roy stood in front of the puppet, ready to begin his third test of the day.

Of course, the first two weren't really tests.

The first time he cheated, Roy was there to shut up the guys who were yelling for him to get out of their foul mouths. The second time, it was to push the boat down the river, calculate Diarra, get 10,000 Tower of Fantasy points from his hands, and disgust him by the way.

However, although the goal was achieved, Roy himself did not expect that he would enter the academy of his dreams by cheating.

That wasn't his intention.

Becoming a knight is a dream shared by him and Tom. He didn't want his knightly path to start with cheating.

Destroying the magic patterns on the puppet's body couldn't be easier for him. As long as you use magic to disrupt the arrangement of elements in the function line, you can make the puppet malfunction, and you can make it appear as many colors as you want.

But this time Roy wasn't ready to cheat. He really relied on his hard-won fighting strength to enter the academy with dignity!

Roy inspires vindictiveness. The vortex of energy centered on the "magic core" in the lower abdomen began to rotate. The wisps of energy turned into fighting energy and enriched the whole body. As the fighting qi drumming in the meridians became stronger and stronger, a moment later, a battle ring came out of the body.

A smile tugged at the corners of Roy's mouth, carefully feeling the hard-won battle ring.

This aura, which travels all over the body with the operation of the fighting spirit, is the source and foundation of the knight's combat power.

It's like an invisible door. The fighting spirit stirring in the body is vented out, communicating with the weather and the earth, and turning it into majestic power. Whether it's punches or kicks, where the ring is, the attack power will be multiplied.

As we all know, the higher the level of the battle ring, the greater the number, the more fighting energy and the power of heaven and earth that the knight can release in an instant. The more attack power you have, the stronger you are.

However, the strength and quantity of the battle ring are not the only criteria for determining combat effectiveness. Also affecting the outcome of the battle is the use of Battle Rings.

For example, if two people play against each other. Every punch and leg that one person lands on the opponent carries the battle ring, while the other person has a higher fighting spirit, but in the battle, the battle ring always fails to appear in the required position, then, the winner is undoubtedly the former.

Roy had only broken through the first-order condensation battle ring a week earlier.

However, it is precisely because it is not easy to come by. So he has an unimaginable curiosity about the battle ring, and he studies hard every day. Coupled with the teaching and explanation of the dwarf axe spirit, and the battle that follows the sword spirit in the demon city every day, he is already quite proficient in the control of the battle ring.

At this moment, the faint white battle ring, like a little squirrel, was jumping around Roy's body.

When he turned his neck, the halo swirled around his neck like a scarf. As he moved his hands, the aura moved along with his moving arms. And when he kicks his legs. The aura that was still on the upper body slipped to his feet like lightning again.

Seeing the battle ring on Roy's body, Kameni, who had been expressionless, flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes.

If, according to Roy, he only condensed the battle ring a week ago, then this control power alone is amazing enough.

"Are you ready?" asked Gustas.

"Alright!" Roy nodded, turning his head to look at Kameni.

Kameni's gaze met Roy's. Indifferently said: "Let's start!"

As soon as his words fell, Roy had already shot in front of the puppet, exhaled, and punched out.

Because it is a forward stance, therefore. From the side, Roy's whole person seemed to turn into a flying wooden stick in midair. And as soon as he punched out, the white battle ring had already bounced into his fist in an instant, like a meteor, crashing into the puppet.

The vindictive spirit test is limited to three minutes. Although the talent test is not an attack power test, however, attack power is also important in the test. ..., unless it is the kind of two-color or three-color knight who is judged to be a genius as soon as he makes a move, ordinary people must attack with all their strength in this short three minutes. Every punch must be exhausted. Strive to achieve higher colors in the shortest possible time.

Roy knew this very well, and this time, he lifted all the power he could use in his body as soon as he made a move. This punch seems simple, but in fact, it concentrates the essence of the Thor's axe method taught by the dwarf axe spirit.

Facing the puppet, Roy is like facing the rock wall under the water of the lake.

The fist, like an axe, slammed into the puppet's body with a loud bang. The fighting spirit rushed out through the battle ring on the fist, piercing into the puppet's body like a knife. A blinding glow erupts on the magic shield.

With a punch, Roy was about to reflexively take off his legs, when he suddenly stumbled and stopped. He stared blankly at the puppet, and in front of his eyes, the shield on the puppet's body was disappearing rapidly. It's exactly like the scene where he cheated in the exam room before.

The only difference is that he used to make seven or eight moves, and each move was a trick to cover up his destruction of the puppet. And this time, he threw a punch with all his might.

Just one punch.

"What's going on?" Roy was stunned. He just turned his head dumbfoundedly. I saw Kameni glaring at him angrily, and snorted coldly.

"Hmph!

Leaving this comment that was extremely angry and disappointed, Kameni didn't say a word, turned around and pushed open the door of the training room, and strode away!

"I'm ......," Roy turned to look at Gustas.

The fat old man was looking at him silently, with a hint of disappointment and disdain in his eyes. There is no eagerness and kindness that he had repeatedly returned to protect him before.

Roy sneered, didn't say a word, turned around and left.

He didn't know what was going on. But he knew he wasn't cheating. For him, that's fine. It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, whether they look high or low. His pride would never allow him to explain to others in a low voice!

Seeing the young man's rebellious back disappear in the doorway, Gustas sighed, utterly disappointed.

The reason why he has been protecting Roy is not only because of Roy's magic talent, but also because of the heart that this kid showed in the conflict before, which he liked.

But he didn't expect that he and Kameni just wanted to see Roy's true level, but Roy used cheating methods again and again to try to deceive himself. This overturned all his good feelings for Roy.

In his opinion, such a person has no value in cultivating even if he is highly talented. He even regretted having accepted Roy in that way.

Walking up to the puppet, which had lost its luster, Gustas opened the mechanism where the core was placed. Just as he was about to take out the magic core, for some reason, he suddenly stopped inexplicably, wanting to try to activate the magic puppet again.

Before Roy cheated, the puppets were all broken.

What if it's not broken this time?

Well, do it quickly and well. Stick to it quickly, and then do it well on top of that
