Chapter 10: I'm sure
When I saw Gustas' eyes... Diarra knew that he was not going to change things today.
After getting along with Gustas for a few years, he knows better than anyone else the strength of this old guy, and he understands better than anyone how arrogant and unreasonable the old man will be once he is forced to be anxious. Even he can't be shaken head-on!
After a long pause, Diarra nodded, took a step back, and simply shut her mouth.
His gesture made the people present look at each other and their hearts shook.
This knight is also a powerful person. Afford to put it down. No matter how big the anger is, even if it is this kind of situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, it is also said to retreat, and it is simply decisive and never entangled, this city is extremely deep.
However, Diarra's reluctance to clash directly with Gustas does not mean that he will stop there. As he stepped back, he glanced blankly at Walter and Jones Sr.
Seeing Diarra's eyes, Walter and old Jones discussed a few words in a low voice and stood up.
As a well-known nobleman and lord of Lulian, the elder of Bruno and Quincy, and the patron of the Academy, they were not so taboo, and as soon as they opened their mouths, they said unceremoniously: "Dean Gustas, we do not agree with your decision. β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the crowd stirred up again.
A conflict has caused so many incidents, not only Diarra and Gustas are openly infighting, but also several unknown men have appeared to protect Nicole's team, and now, the funders of the academy are also directly opposite Gustas.
Everyone was a little worried about what would turn out in the end. Everyone is a fan of the first training camp, and I really don't want to see such a thing. However, Bobby in the second training camp and Cass in the third training camp watched coldly, and the smiles on their faces were inevitably a little gloating.
"Annie, what's wrong with you?" said a girl in a magic robe as she looked at Annie, who was clenching her mouth.
She followed Anne's gaze and turned to look at the dark-haired boy in the crowd of conflicts, and asked confusedly, "Do you know him?"
Anne nodded subconsciously, then shook her head quickly.
After Anne had escaped from Borabel a year earlier, she, her mother, and her brother had settled in the city of Muni with their servants.
For Anne, a year ago, it was a nightmare.
The Pioneers' decades-long business in Bollabel was destroyed, and his father, Baron Brian, was killed in the battle. The originally peaceful life has become a fragment of blood and fire in memory overnight.
And when they came to the city of Muni, their life was not easy.
Among the nobles of the city, they were nothing more than a small baronial family, and after losing their hereditary domain, the family had no financial resources. He survived on some of the possessions his mother brought with him when he fled.
Now the family lives in a house on Avenue de Champagne given by the Archduke Adolf. Most of the servants were dismissed, and there was no one in the house except the faithful steward, the mamma, and the groom.
And the seven or eight knights who were proud of Borabel Castle at the beginning were even more dead and walking. Only a knight named Zhao Xun remained, and he also guarded the coat of arms and family of the deceased Baron Bolabel.
Since then, Anne has matured a lot.
When her brother Rice came to Muni City in the Fifth Legion, she gritted her teeth and entered the army, and in order to help Rice, she took off her lady's clothes on her mother's back and began her knightly training with Zhao Xun.
Because as early as when Bollabel was a child, Anne had a certain foundation of vindictive cultivation, coupled with good talent and hard work, therefore, a year and a half later, she had broken through the first order and had the qualifications to be admitted to the academy.
The companion next to her is Jenny, her best friend in the aristocratic circle of Muni City. Because Jenny was a magic student at the first training camp, after deciding to help her brother regain the glory of the FΓΉ family, Anne decided to apply for the first training camp behind her mother's back.
Although she has not yet entered the academy, Anne has long known most of the noble students in the academy, including Quincy, in the aristocratic circle of Muni City. Maintaining good relations with these people is too important for a broken baronial family. Especially her brother Rice, who is in the aristocratic circle all day long.
But what she didn't expect was that here, she actually met Roy. Unexpectedly, he actually had a conflict with Quincy and others.
For more than a year, this simple but cunning little handyman has been remembered in Anne's mind many times, and I don't know how many times he has been mentioned by his mother, the Baroness. There were even several times when my mother was reprimanding Rice, comparing her to Roy.
It was Roy who saved the inhabitants of Bollabelle. In the minds of the Bollabel people, he was of a higher position than these former lords of the Baron's family.
Every time Les heard such words, his face turned blue. Anne, on the other hand, took it for granted.
If there was only one figure that could be remembered by the girl's heart that night, it was the boy who once knelt before Princess Eretia and said "Your will, my sword" to the cheers of the Borabel people.
At that moment, how Anne wished he were her guardian knight!
But now she could not recognize him. In addition to being in the aristocratic circle, he must stand in the position of an aristocratic friend, but also because Anne knows how terrifying those guys who want Roy's life are.
Now, she could only watch Roy from afar, watching several nobles come out one after another to put pressure on Gustas, clenching her palms and sweating for Roy.
"Yes!" "We don't agree with this decision. β
"This kind of person must go, and he must not be allowed to enter the academy! And those over there must also be expelled! It is simply too rampant, dare to openly attack the nobles!" As soon as Walter and old Jones finished speaking, their family members and entourage made a fuss, including some nobles who knew each other well.
Quincy and Bruno have lost such a big face, which they can't accept in any way.
If you compromise today, then not only will Quincy and Bruno suffer this loss, but it will not be so simple to get revenge back in the future.
After all, as long as Nicole is still in the academy for a day, they are the people of the academy. Anyone who retaliates against them in any way must take into account the attitude of the Academy.
And the same goes for that brunette civilian kid. If he was driven out, a few guards would kill him. But when he got him into training camp, it was different. Hands on him again,
It is a direct declaration of war on the training camp.
Therefore, after seeing Diarra back down, the two families quickly agreed on their opinions.
"Shall we talk about this later?" said Gustas with a smile. In his capacity, it's not that he is afraid of Walter and Jones Sr., but he is not willing to exacerbate the conflict when Bobby and Cass are watching the excitement next to him.
"Quincy and Bruno are both talented and strong. ... The results of this trial were also excellent,... "I think they deserve more credit and awards," Gustas said. β
Hearing this, the nobles' voices suddenly became quieter.
Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes were focused on the faces of Walter and Jones Sr. After all, Gustas's treatment can be regarded as giving them enough face. If you take this opportunity to step down,
It's not a loss.
What's more, the days ahead are still long, even if you take those civilians in the academy, there is no way to wait for them to graduate, there will always be a chance to retaliate back. Can they still hide in the academy for the rest of their lives?
Walter and Jones Sr., however, don't think so.
These two nobles, who regarded the family's face as bigger than Tiandu, only groaned for a moment, and then quickly vetoed Gustas's suggestion.
"What we need is justice, not a deal. Jones, who was cunning and cunning, said lightly: "Originally, we came today with this year's grants. I heard that the academy's magic pattern research room needs to add new equipment, and the horse farm also needs a few good horses, so the two of us have prepared 200,000 gold Lulang......"
Before Jones could finish speaking, he heard a sudden gasp from the crowd. For the most common people present, 10,000 gold Lulang is already an unimaginable wealth. Not to mention a full 200,000!
Especially as everyone knows, although the current academy is still a behemoth, it has a deep heritage, and it is far less than 200,000 gold Lulang. However, the training camp has the rules of the training camp, and no matter how deep the background is, it cannot be exchanged for money.
And this 200,000 gold Lulang is simply a life-saving money for the nervous Gustas.
On one side is 200,000 gold road noses, and on the other side are a few civilian students, with the character of Gustas who regards money as his life, he really doesn't need to think about making a trade-off.
In the exclamation of everyone, Old Jones looked at the faces of the people present, especially the teachers, hooked the corners of his mouth, and continued: "Of course, this money has nothing to do with what happened today, I just want to show our two families' support for the academy, and at the same time show that we seek a fair attitude." β
As he spoke, he paused, and waited until the crowd around him had quieted down before he said word by word to Gustas: "However, if we don't get this justice today, then we will lose confidence in the first training camp." β
"Quincy and Bruno are both cadets of the brigade, and their strength is ranked within the top fifty of the academy, although they are not particularly outstanding, but if they switch to other colleges, I think, there are still people who are willing to accept them." β
Boom, the crowd exploded.
In the midst of this hustle and bustle, old Jones looked at Gustas, whose face had changed, and said slowly: "What do you say, Lord Dean?"
At this moment, no one doubts who the ultimate winner will be.
On the scale of victory and defeat, on one side are 200,000 gold Lulang and two talented noble children, plus their families. On the other side, there is just a group of garbage civilian cadets and a candidate from Team E......
Even if you are a fool, I am afraid you know which side to choose.
Gustas looked at old Jones for a long time, and said, "If I refuse to change my mind, you will let Quincy and Bruno drop out of school?"
Old Jones nodded, and his tone was gentle: "Dean Gustas, we have known each other for many years, and you know that this is not a threat against you, but a search for justice. β
"What if the other camps don't accept you?" said Gustas, "so you don't hurt ......."
Before he could finish his words, a voice rang out from the side.
"Second training camp is willing to accept!"
People turned their heads to look at Bobby, the big teacher of the second training camp with a smile on his face.
At the same time, Cass of the third training camp also raised his hand and rushed to this side for fear of the world.
"Third training camp is also welcome!" In addition to gloating, the words of these two were also sincere.
After all, the students who can be ranked in the top 50 have such family support, and there is no reason to refuse there. They originally relied on the nobility to overwhelm the first training camp, how could such a good thing be missed?
Even if Quincy and Bruno end up staying at First Academy, at least they will sell Jones and Walt Sr. a favor.
As for Gustas, everyone was originally enemies, and it would be good if they didn't fight.
With Bobby and Cass talking, the surroundings fell completely silent. Old Jones and Walter, with a smug smile on their lips, looked at Gustas. Diarra, on the other hand, looked like a bystander. All of them are waiting for Gustas' decision.
As one of the parties, Roy's eyes were always on Gustas's face.
He didn't understand why this old man, whom he had never met, was so protective of himself, but it was undeniable that he was very moved.
After a long time, Gustas sighed and shook his head.
"Then all I can say" he raised his head and looked at old Jones and the others, "I wish Quincy and Bruno a great future!"
It's like a huge stone, smashed directly into the water from a height of 10,000 meters.
After a moment of dead silence, the entire academy was in an uproar.
"Crazy, crazy!"
Not only did old Jones, Walter and Diarra and others not believe it, but even the teachers of the academy thought that Gustas must be crazy.
After a moment, Walter stepped forward with an iron face: "Dean Gustas, are you sure what you said......"
Before Gustas could reply, suddenly, a voice came from outside the crowd.
"I'm sure!"
Everyone turned their heads suddenly, and saw several knights in the separated crowd hugging a young man and a few merchants walking quickly.
"Momiji Knights!"
"Look!"
"Oh my God, that's the heir to the CarrΓ© family, yes, it's Philip!"
Looking at the young man who spoke, people let out a cry of shock, and Roy's face showed a warm smile.
Momiji Knights, Philip is here!
Not only him, but also Fergus of the Flint Consortium beside him, as well as the businessman with the logo of the Cactus Merchant Group embroidered on his body, and ......
Roy was dumbfounded when he saw the man walking beside Philip.
This man, he had met once in the Baron's palace in Medin City. At that time, he led a group of attendants with weapons and armor in their hands, and tried his best to persuade himself to join the Grand Duke.
He is the confidant of Grand Duke Adolf, the commander of the knights of the guard.
Kahn!
I found some feeling, the balance of speed and quality. I will continue to work hard!Also, thank you for your tickets and tips. Especially a few of them who have recently rushed to the alliance. In addition, I mistyped the names of the gods last time, and I blushed, as long as I wait for you to come to Chengdu to make up for it in person.
