Chapter 10: Graduation (Part II)
"Yo, you're very skilled, how many times have you practiced at home? Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Friss asked, surprised.
"No, I was left at school by Teacher Catherine every night for the past two days to practice. Rod said angrily, "She's always targeting me!"
"Targeting you, don't be stinky, there are a sea of people who want this beautiful teacher to make up lessons alone, if it weren't for the special relationship with your family, she would treat you with special treatment?" Flossy looked at him with disdain: "Look at your sister, you are about to get a female mage rating by spending time with Teacher Catherine, but you still have to practice fireball skills, it's really sad." ”
"I'm a man who wants to slay dragons, but I don't want to be a skinny and malnourished mage. The young man immediately sneered: "I'm about to become a swordsman in my spare time, but you still have to practice slashing and stabbing, it's really sad." ”
"Wow...... Now that I graduate, I don't have to copy my homework, so I'm hard-mouthed, right? The red-haired girl suddenly put away her smile: "It turns out that you are such a person, I misjudged you!"
"Okay, just kidding, don't be angry. Rod didn't want to be told that the river was demolishing the bridge, so he had to quickly relent, his father taught him: When there is a conflict with someone close to him, especially the opposite sex, no matter who is right or wrong, apologize first.
"Humph!" Friss turned her head and continued to look at her classmates' exams.
***
The spellcasting exam was followed by the final expedition: swordsmanship...... The purpose of this course is to ensure that students have a certain physical fitness and self-preservation ability, not to cultivate swordsmen with superior strength, so the requirements are only slightly higher than the spell casting project: the relevant departments will send a few swordsmen to fight against the students, as long as they can catch the ordinary three moves and not be "killed", even if they pass, they can tie the hand and get 90 points safely, and if they have the ability to knock down professional swordsmen, then 100 points are naturally appropriate.
"Swordsman" is the lowest level of the various professional titles of combatants, but if there is a professional title, he is already a real warrior - this kind of title is awarded by the relevant departments after evaluating the strength of the individual, from the lowest to the highest: trainee (no rank), swordsman, great swordsman, great swordsman, and each level is also subdivided into the first and highest ranks. There is also a system for magic users, which correspond to the following types: Apprentice (no rank), Wizard, Archmagician, and Archmagister...... (Archmage is a general honorific term for a powerful spellcaster, and does not correspond to a specific strength)
Having a rating means that the strength has surpassed ordinary people, and even the worst "low-level swordsman" can easily defeat two in the face of poorly trained ordinary militia. And the capital of the Midland Empire has the most powerful arch guard force in the world: there are a total of 3,000 wall guards and forbidden troops, all of whom have the strength of high-level swordsmen and magicians...... Such an astonishing combat force is more than enough to protect a small kingdom, let alone defend a city. Wenwei, the imperial capital guarded by this army patrolling day and night, is also one of the safest cities in the entire continent.
The highest level of strength evaluation titles are "Sword Master" and "Holy Demon Master", but no institution or individual has the right to directly recognize the title of "Sword Master" at this level - the title of "Sword Master" can be obtained in two ways: one is to defeat another Sword Master in an open heads-up to force him to give up his Sword Master title, and the other is to fight famous masters all over the world and obtain a sufficient number of high-level Great Sword Master nominations, and the same is true for "Holy Demon Master".
It should be noted that unless it is a combatant who needs strength certification to apply for a job as a soldier, bodyguard, bounty hunter, etc., ordinary people will not go to great lengths to certify or strive for a higher rating, the most typical example is naturally Rod's father, Duke Foster, the famous Faqin Grand Swordsman - his reason for not accepting the top title is simple: the Juggernaut needs to accept the challenge of a high-level Grand Swordsman, and he has the obligation to ensure the life safety of the challenger as much as possible...... Unfortunately, the duke had more important things to do, and even if he had spare time, he was busy enjoying life, so he decisively gave up the title of Sword Master.
Rod was born with an astonishing physical ability, and in this he himself admits to being stained with his father's light - he grew up with several times the strength and reflexes of his peers, and his senses were even sharper. The lead-filled practice wooden sword was as light as nothing in his hand, and the movements of other peers could not escape his eyes like snails. The learning ability is not bad and he likes swordsmanship, even if he only puts five points of energy in the swordsmanship class, he already has the ability to make swords that is difficult for his peers to match, and even the swordsmanship teacher of the academy has to mention a little spirit before he dares to fight him.
There was no suspense about the results of the exam, and the high-ranking swordsmen sent by the Swordsman Association did not know him as a little genius, and he was careless and easily dodged the attack, and stabbed the heart of the armor with a sword and fell to the ground - a clean and beautiful full score.

As a result, Rhodes graduated with a perfect score and the rest of the passes. His sister Roy was the opposite of him, with perfect marks in nine out of ten classes, and only the swordsmanship class was ninety-nine, because she did not have the strength to knock out a professional swordsman, and the swordsman assigned to her was obsessed with admiring her beauty and did not finish the assessment for a long time, and it took a minute to stop and stop.
"Oh yes, free!" Rod shouted excitedly, and walked home with unprecedented ease.
"Our Honorable Emperor has decided to hold a graduation ceremony in a week's time, inviting the graduates and their parents to attend and attend a dinner. Roy said with a straight look: "After that, you will graduate." ”
"Almost, but why is there such a dinner?" he asked, curiously, "I have never heard of such a grand event for the graduation of students from secondary colleges." ”
"Maybe something happened, or maybe it was for some purpose. Roy said worriedly, she was a little suspicious that she was coming at her, but there was no evidence, let alone even she was helpless.
"Besides, I'm going to relax for a few days. ”
His friend Sephes stuffed him with a new edition of the album imported from the Erican Empire in the morning, with fine paper, clear illustrations, and bright colors, and it depicted realistic men and women in various poses without clothes, which made him red-faced. He suddenly remembered the little fox who was running around at home every day when he was full of food and drink, and he had to let her become a human to show himself...... Maybe something else can be done?
"Little Yin'er!" Just as the meal was approaching, he took a plate of the little fox's favorite food from the kitchen and returned to the residence, shouted a few times, and the little silver fox who smelled the fragrance quickly got out and entered the room with him. "I'll get you a plate of veal steak with sauce today, would you like it?"
He sat down and put the juicy and fragrant veal steak on the table, the little silver fox jumped on his knees, looked at the plate on the table greedily, and wagged his tail on the table with his front paws and wanted to gnaw, the young man hugged her: "Don't move, you can eat if you want, it's been so many days at my house, I'll take a look at it." ”
......
"Meow-" The little silver fox whispered and looked up at him. The young "master" was very kind to herself, and she liked the appearance and smell of his body, but he was always urging him to change his original form, and he must have wanted to do something, which scared her very much...... The little fox wagged his tail flatteringly, trying to pretend not to understand as usual.
"Become a person, otherwise you will only have jerky to eat in the future, and don't want to eat delicious food. Rod threatened, "Change quickly, I'll see, and do nothing." ”
The fear of something overwhelmed the desire for food, and the little fox clipped his tail and shook his head, preferring not to eat the fragrant steak to break free from the boy's arms.
Rhodes was disappointed: "You are always the same person, I gave you to someone else to see if they are good to you." ”
