Chapter 17 Graduation Ceremony
St. Forha's College was founded by Angelia, the founding queen of Fassen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to ensure that St. Forha's Academy can stand alone in the complex power struggle of the empire, Angelia has specially formulated three iron rules that the empire and the academy must abide by: first, the army is not allowed to enter St. Forja, and the order refers to the resolution made by the academy's jury; second, St. Forha's only drills magic, does not involve in political affairs, and does not interfere with imperial power, which is intended to limit the influence of St. Forha's power on the situation in the empire; There was nowhere to turn for help, so a third iron rule was established, and those who were called glory could be blessed by St. Phulha.
The graduation ceremony is the most solemn celebration of the year at St. Forja's College. After six years of study, all students of St. Forha can only officially graduate if they pass the entrance examination. Students who fail the assessment will need to study for another year and wait for the next graduation ceremony. If they fail to pass the assessment for three consecutive times, the college will give these students two choices, one is to continue their studies while working as a handyman in the college, and the other is to leave the college.
For the younger students, the graduation ceremony will not be easy either. Although they do not have the pressure of graduation assessments, they also face other challenges. After the graduation ceremony, there will be a free challenge between the students, called the Battle of Glory. Whether it's a graduating senior or a junior, anyone can challenge anyone. Whether or not a challenge is held is primarily decided by the challenged student and the mentor who is responsible for deciding the winner.
There is no doubt that if you can perform well at this ceremony where the bigwigs of the military and political circles of the empire gather, you will be very willing to be looked down upon by a certain political official or military general. Therefore, every student will work hard for this precious opportunity, and strive to show his best performance to those bigwigs in the military and political circles.
The Empire's military and large families take the annual graduation ceremony very seriously, as it is undoubtedly a great opportunity to find the best talent. According to statistics, more than half of the working magicians in the empire come from the Academy of St. Fohar, and the influence of St. Forha on the Fasel Empire can be seen.
Traditionally, graduation ceremonies are held on Moonlight Day to commemorate the mages who performed valiantly in the Black Moon War. Therefore, this year's graduation ceremony was held as scheduled, as in previous years.
The arena of St. Forja's Academy was filled with crowds, and hundreds of cadets of all grades were nervously awaiting the upcoming graduation ceremony, which would determine their future lives. For some, it would be a great honor to successfully pass the advanced examination and graduate from St. Phauha.
On the side of the audience, Emperor Kyle was sitting quietly on a luxurious golden chair with a smile on his face. More than a dozen black-robed magicians from the Royal Magic Guard stood beside him, and Praetorian Guards in silver armor stood guard around the viewing table. Some of the nobles and officials of the empire sat behind Kyle the Great, and Anglin, dressed in a black dress, sat in the front row of seats with a calm face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the graduation ceremony of St. Forha's College. The originally noisy square instantly fell silent, and a majestic female voice echoed in the huge arena.
"In my capacity as the fourteenth Dean of St. Forha's College, I announce that this commencement ceremony has officially begun. Moran, dressed in white mage robes, announced from the podium. The white mage's robes were embroidered with delicate and elegant magic patterns, adding a bit of mystery to the Holy Magister of the Moonlight Realm.
Moran, who is thirty-eight years old this year, still has dazzling beauty, straight breasts, and a slender waist, if she were not standing on the rostrum at this moment, I am afraid it would be difficult to imagine that such a beautiful and moving woman would be the dean of St. Forha's Academy, a powerhouse of the Holy Order.
"A total of 320 students attended the graduation ceremony, including 40 sixth-year graduates. Now, please follow the previous grouping and conduct the graduation assessment. ”
The graduation assessment is divided into two parts: ability assessment and actual combat assessment. The ability assessment part assesses the student's elemental control, casting speed and maximum offensive and defensive intensity. The actual combat assessment is to let the students and the instructor fight, and the assessment results are given by the instructor according to the performance of the students in the battle.
There are five circular battle platforms on the nearly 10,000-square-meter arena, and 40 graduates are divided into eight groups for assessment. These battle tables are made of highly resistant black ashlar, which is extremely strong.
In this way, the high-profile graduation ceremony began in a seemingly peaceful atmosphere.
Outside the city of Shacout.
The 72,000 men of the Second Legion were now standing quietly under the walls.
The sharp standard long sword, the cold black armor, the neighing war horse from time to time, and the solemn murderous aura permeated among the tens of thousands of people.
"Sheldon, I've already given you the night's time, and now that the time has come, open the city gates immediately! The Second Legion is in the name of Emperor Kell, going to Yingli City to quell the rebellion! Do you want to rebel!" Derno, dressed in black armor, holding a silver spear nearly two meters long, rode a black war horse, stood at the front of the army, and shouted at the guards on the city wall.
"General Deerno, the guards will not be destroyed, and the five major legions will not enter Yingli City, this is the duty of the guards. I have not received orders from His Majesty, and the general has waited a few days, and I have sent someone to Yingli City to verify it. Sheldon, dressed in a white robe on the wall, replied angrily.
"One hundred thousand guards, now fifty thousand in Moxie City, forty thousand in Harno, what are you doing to stop me!Sheldon, do you have to let the ten thousand guards in this city bury you?" Deerno raised his spear and pointed it at Sheldon on the city wall, bursting out with a pale golden fighting spirit and roaring loudly.
"Guards, I'd rather die than retreat!" Sheldon, who was dressed in a white robe and looked at the fierce Derno under the city, but he was not afraid at all.
"The Second Legion belongs, prepare for battle!" Derno, who was furious, no longer hesitated, and with a swing of his spear, 72,000 soldiers instantly swung their swords in response.
"Fight!"
A thunderous shout struck the chest of every guard like a sledgehammer, but none of them flinched.
"Hehe, General Denort is so imposing. A faint laugh came from behind the city walls, and the laughter that should have been drowned out by this rushing shout reached everyone's ears unusually clearly, and Denor's eyes instantly became solemn.
"The Fourth Imperial Legion, Ciel, has been waiting here for a long time. ”
"Ciel!" Deleno exclaimed.
