After the test was completed, there was not much to do, and Thompson explained: "In the afternoon we will have a written test, and tomorrow morning we will have a martial arts test." ”

"Stand up, disband. ”

The cadets slowly put away the books on their desks, and then went to the dining hall in groups.

Blake looked at the state of Genosis and seemed very incomprehensible.

Evade.

This is the word that Virtis used to describe Genosis, and it is also the word that Virtis used to describe Asya.

Roy patted Blake on the shoulder. Roy noticed that Blake's eyes had changed when he looked at Janoss. It is no longer the eyes that seem to look at his own brother before, but a look that seems to hate iron but not steel.

After thinking for a while, Roy said, "Blake, you go to dinner first, I have something to go to Uncle Veltis." ”

“...... All right. Blake's face turned into that awkward smile again.

Roy seems to be familiar with the Boreal Fortress. He was alone in one of E1's offices.

"Uncle Veltis. Roy said a little shyly.

"Ah, little Roy. Vertis, who was facing away from the door, suddenly turned his chair around and asked, "What's the matter?" ？”

"What is Genosis's light elemental affinity?" Roy asked.

"Uh, why are you asking this?" Veltis didn't seem to quite understand Roy's thoughts.

"No, I'm just curious. Royce paused and continued, "But I hope my uncle still tells me." ”

Virtis looked at the office door that was almost closed, and then smiled, "He may not be human. ”

"Uh...... What do you mean?" Roy was a little curious.

Veltis smiled: "You answer me first, why are you asking this?"

Roy still didn't react. After a while, Roy replied, "I was thinking, Genosis is so gifted that even you want to take him as an apprentice, uncle...... But ......"

"But he resisted from the inside, didn't he?" Veltis seemed to understand Roy's thoughts.

"Right...... For example, Blake already addresses your uncle as Teacher, and he addresses your uncle as Master Veltis. Roy recalled some of the usual details and said.

"Well, then, then what do you think is going on?" asked Vertis with a smile.

Then Roy first told Vertis some of the situation during the strength test just now.

"I think the reason why he resisted and avoided may be a factor, but more importantly, it is a kind of disapproval of his uncle you. ”

"Oh?" Seeing Roy's strange remarks, Virtis became puzzled again.

"I'm just a gut feeling, and I don't know what kind of disapproval Genesis has for you, uncle. Roy shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm going to eat first, I mean, is there any way to keep Genosis escaping reality like this." ”

"Haha. Veltis smiled and said, "This, I will wait for his strength to reach the second order, so naturally there is a way." ”

"Is that really the case? Roy shook his head helplessly again.

Viltis is far superior to Roy in terms of strength, but in terms of emotional intelligence, Vertis seems to be unable to compare with the sentimental Roy.

"Uncle, then I'll go to the cafeteria to eat first. Roy said goodbye to Vertis.

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

The written exam is very boring.

However, no one dares to cheat at all, and the question is not difficult, but once you cheat, you will be revoked from the training qualification of the trainee knight and sent home directly.

The most important thing for knights is not strength but quality.

Or rather, faith in truth, goodness and beauty.

The test papers have to be marked, so the scores will not come out immediately. After the meeting, everyone was on their way to dinner, discussing the answers to the exam.

Genosis was the only one who looked coldly at the back of the crowd.

After returning to the dormitory, Roy asked, "Blake, what questions did you take today?"

Blake sneered awkwardly again: "The big question this time is: Suppose that your knight team has fallen into a wilderness and cannot get out of it in a short time, and the food is not enough to sustain itself until it gets out of the wilderness, and it is impossible to get food. But when the food is concentrated, it is enough for one person to get out of the wilderness. ”

"And what did you fill in?" Roy asked.

“...... What I wrote was: Gather food and give it to those who are most likely to get out of the wilderness. ”

Generosis suddenly asked, "What if everyone thinks they have the best chance of getting out of the wilderness?"

"Uh......" Seeing Genosis suddenly questioning, Roy and Black were stunned and helpless.

"And what is the answer you wrote?"

"I thought of several answers, but some of them I felt were zero. Genosis pondered for a moment, and said, "The first answer that comes to mind is a fair duel between all the knights of the ranks, and the winner is the one who has the best hope of getting out of the wilderness." ”

Roy smiled helplessly: "If you write like this, this answer will definitely be zero." ”

"The second I think is to give it to the youngest in the team. ”

"The third," said Geno Siston, after a pause, "gives food to those who have the most mission on their shoulders." ”

"The fourth...... "Generosis smiled helplessly, "If I lead the team, I will definitely not fall into this situation." ”

Roy was surprised and said, "I guess you wrote the fourth answer." ”

Blake touched his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Roy smiled and said, "What is the first of your knights' eight rules?"

"Valian. Blake replied instantly.

"Do you think, then, that a wise knight leader would put the knights who trust him into such a desperate situation? Because, falling into such a desperate situation is reckless in itself. So, except for the fourth answer of Genosis, the other answers should not be too high. ”

Genosis shook his head.

"There is another answer, but the current probationary knight should not be able to answer. Genosis' eyes became relieved: "The knight has a high-level skill called, sacrifice. ”

"Overdraw your light magic and take your state to a higher level. In the title, it is said that pooling the food can bring one person out of the wilderness, that is, if it is for one person here, there is a surplus of food. Half of my team uses sacrifice, carrying the other half on their backs, speeding up the march, and after this half of the sacrifice, half of the remaining half of the people also use sacrifice. In this way, it should be able to feed four or five people with one person's food. ”

"Although the fourth answer is the most correct, there is a suspicion that even the most heroic generals will not be sure that their team will not fall into a desperate situation," said Genosis. ”

"Although we have a priority in the Eight Codes of Knights, it is very troublesome to thoroughly practice the content of the Eight Codes of Knights in one event at a time. ”

"Sacrifice?" Blake was a little helpless: "I haven't heard of this skill." Genosis shook his head: "It's because you don't take your own knowledge seriously. ”

Roy pondered for a moment, then smiled inwardly, "(I know what this guy is disgusted with by this fellow Genosis.) Or rather, I know why he chose to run away. ）

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

The martial arts test is relatively simple, because it is the most practiced in normal times. So everyone passed the exam very casually.

Three days later, the results of the written test came out. Sure enough, it was Genosis who had the highest score.

Thompson explained: "There will be a special convoy to take you back to the Knights Headquarters in the town where your home is located, and go home to rest for a while. But don't let me come back from rest and forget anything, just wait for the penalty to run. ”

Most of the people took some books and went back to the dormitory to pack some luggage. Janosis and Blake were stunned, and looked at each other: What about us. Thompson looked at the stunned two and asked, "You two, go and ask His Highness Veltis, it seems that there is no arrangement for you." ”

Under Roy's guidance, the two found Vertes' office.

"Mistress/Uncle/Teacher. The three sent out different greetings.

Viltis was making coffee at the moment, and after a while, Vertis said: "I originally wanted to leave a few of you to go to the wild, but your strength is too weak, let alone the third- and fourth-order demonic beasts, even if they are second-order, the three of you can't solve it." But it's too boring to stuff you in this fortress. ”

"Lord Veltis. Blake took a step forward.

Say. "Virtis is still working on the coffee.

"I would like to go back and see the tombs of Sister Louise and Father Pavlov. Blake said very deeply.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for a carriage procession to take you to Marco Town later. Roy, come along, it's too boring here, and Uncle doesn't have time to play with you haha. ”

Genossis seemed to want to say something, but he didn't, acquiescing to Blake's claims.

After a while, Vertis explained a few things before letting the three of them leave.

In the afternoon, the three of them came to the R4 floor with the guidance and help of a high-level stationed knight. There is an exit here, and outside is the post station for the carriage of horses. Grain is often transported here, so there are always horse-drawn wagons coming and going.

The three of them got into the rickety carriage. However, the three of them did not know that once the three little ones were gone, it took many years for them to return to this coniferous fortress that had accompanied them through a period of hard time.

At night.

Vertis was brewing coffee again.

But after a while, his face became a little strange, he put down his coffee, and turned his head to look at the office door.

"Huh, second brother?"

Esya always seems to be picking up Veltis when she is making coffee.

However, at this moment, Esya exudes a strange aura.

Vertis clearly felt the strangeness of Asya's aura. How to say it, it seems that it is because Asya's mood fluctuates so much that she can't suppress the magic in her body well, resulting in her breath not being stable and restrained.

"Second brother, ...... you?"

After a while, Veltis seemed to confirm the nature of the request and asked, "Second brother, have you advanced to the level of a nine-star Templar?"

Asya just had a gloomy face and didn't answer his words.
