83. Examinations
"Alas. The Duke of Troy returned to his senses and continued to sigh. "Okay, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be here for today's opening ceremony. I'll preside over it. β
Lin Xi turned her head to look at the Duke of Troy, her back straight, and her eyes followed him to the front of the classroom.
"Everyone is aristocrats, I must have known me last night, I was the previous prefect, and I will graduate from the academy in two years. Of course, if you have any difficulties in life and can't find Your Highness, you can come and consult me. Especially the elegant ladies~" Troy raised an eyebrow.
Lycia noticed that the girl with the double ponytail was sinking, her eyebrows were flattened, and she looked at Troy without blinking.
I have to admit that the nobleman with the demeanor of a noble son present must be the Duke of Troy, mature and reliable.
"Double ponytail, don't look at it, the Duke of Troy doesn't look down on you as a crazy girl. The noisy man who was scolded just now was really not afraid at all, and said with a straight neck.
"Hush. The ponytail girl had returned to her place and rolled her eyes at the noisy man.
"This is the eldest lady of the Sisoka family. It's really lively. Lin Xi looked up and down at the Sisuo Peach with a double ponytail, her eyes full of contempt.
Lycia likes this kind of hot character, among the big nobles, the ladies are all the same, similar to Lin Xi, although they usually put on an easy-going and dignified appearance, in fact, everyone looks down on them secretly, and they always compare their family background, their hats, and their waists.

"I don't think anyone will refuse Miss Silko's affection~" Troy ended every sentence with an invisible wavy line, and he winked at Silky Sisoka slyly, bringing the otherwise embarrassing thing over.
"Of course, we can get to know each other a little bit next. Among the freshmen, who will introduce themselves first?" he clapped his hands.
Silky stood up boldly, her two ponytails echoing behind her back. "Hello everyone, I'm Silknut, I'm from the Lallar region in the south, we have four seasons like spring, to be honest, I'm really not used to the weather here. Also, it's nice to meet everyone. My coat of arms is a wolf's head, if anyone dares to bully you, I will tear him apart for everyone!"
Troy smiled and clapped. "So, Doro Lesko, Doro, introduce yourself, and by the way, introduce Miss Silky to the customs of the imperial capital. β
Doro was the boy who talked a lot, and he stood up with an unyielding glare. "Eagle Eye Crest, Doro Lesko, the imperial capital is not like the South, there are many crises here, of course, none of them can escape my eyes. β
Lycia judged the two of them in her heart.
By the time Lycia introduced herself, the atmosphere in the audience was obviously different.
"Lycia, unknown coat of arms. She smiled and heard a few gasps. "If you are interested in my coat of arms, you can discuss it with each other in order to make good use of the power that the goddess has given us. β
She glanced at the audience, and the favorability of almost all men soared to thirty percent, and the source and the one was already as high as about sixty percent, except for Lin Xi is disgust, and a young man who was sitting in the corner without saying a word and staring at her in a daze also showed a disgust rating of about ten percent.
Lycia recognized him as her sister Holi's boyfriend, Buchton.
After the introduction, Lycia knew more about Silky Peach and Doro, and the rest still only remembered the ones she had known before.
"Duke of Troy. "Just as everyone was chattering and getting to know each other, a young woman in a burgundy robe and hood stood in the doorway, a staff member of the academy. "The dean asked me to read a message from His Majesty the Emperor to the noble ladies and young masters. β
Troy was worried about what to say next, so he immediately invited the lady to the stage.
"Her Royal Highness Mary Thiel has violated the laws of the Empire, and I hereby inform you that Her Highness has been imprisoned in the Tower of Thorns for a period of thirty years of reflection, remembering that she is my wife, and that she will not be guilty of her crimes against the Empire, as appropriate. After the staff member finished reading it out loud, he didn't say a word and left.
Leaving the No. 30 nobles in the field to look at each other.
Especially Lin Xi, her eyes widened and she showed an expression of disbelief.
"Lycia! how could this be!" she whispered, instead of grabbing her betrothed fiancΓ© at the moment, she grabbed Lycia's sleeve and whispered.
Lycia was also shocked, could it be that what happened last night was planned by the queen?
What did she want to do? Did the Empress want to usurp the throne, but she didn't succeed in killing the Emperor, so what was the funeral of the Grey Sparrow? Before she died, she was in a hurry to let the Grey Sparrow inform the heir who had not yet graduated from the academy, Emperor Mitritoli?
Lycia doesn't know much about it, there are too many pickles in the court.
The laws of the empire provided that if the emperor died and no heir was appointed, the empress would succeed to the throne.
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already nineteen years old.
"Lycia, our family is finished. Lin Xi kept shaking Lycia's arm, so that she had to look at her, and the disgust level that was almost half of it had dropped a lot, which made Lycia a little soft-hearted.
"Lin Xi, in the laws of the empire, after the empress marries the emperor, she is disconnected from the family, so your Tyr family will not be implicated in any way. Lycia calmly explained that this must be what she was worried about.
"So, what about Yuanyou, Yuanhe and their family will definitely break off the marriage contract with me!" Lin Xi had already shed a tear, but she didn't look at Yuanyou, just looked at Lycia.
She was gambling that Genyo would swear in front of Lycia that she would not mention the dissolution of the engagement.
But they haven't completely settled down at all, it's just that the parents of both sides are preparing for the engagement, and if the Yuan family terminates the engagement process at this time, there will be no problem.
Yuanhe felt that his throat was dry, he didn't want to speak, the slightly happy mood just now disappeared, and Lin Xi's words made him have to express his stance on this matter.
"Linxi. Gen and Headache split as he stared at Lycia's side face. "I won't go back. After he said this, he only felt extremely regretful, and even blamed the queen, if the queen didn't have an accident, he would be able to dissolve the marriage contract, and no one would say that their family decided to get engaged to the Lin family because of Panyan's attachment, and now that something happened to the queen, she immediately cut off contact.
Lycia sighed, and Linxi's purpose was achieved.
She felt bored, for Lin Xi, the queen was just a tool of their Lin family, and Yuan He, the person she was about to get engaged to was also an object that could be handled.
She no longer has a feeling of disgust for Lin Xi, but she completely despises her in her heart and just wants to stay away from her.
And Yuanhe, he can't escape Lin Xi's palm, unless one day Lin Xi dislikes him, this is his fate.
"Why did you choose her?"
Lycia had just entered the training arena when she heard discordant noises.
"Buchton, shut up. Caroline's hair was tied up high, she was wearing a men's training suit, and she had a brass axe in her hand.
"Why, I can't wait to get to the heir of the Duke's family, tsk. "Buchton's weapon is an iron sword, and he's wiping it.
"yes, it's better than you. I accidentally befriended the wrong person and went to be the companion of Ash's crazy woman. Caroline pointed at Buchton with the tip of her axe, the diamond coat of arms on her forehead looming.
Lycia didn't expect her sister's boyfriend Buchton to be in the training team, and looking at the position, it seems that he is still in the forward position, and this Caroline seems to have a bit of a holiday with her sister.
Caroline's family is similar to Buchton's, with only the title of viscount.
"You stand here, Lycia. Your role is to operate magic circles and potions. Fudomi led her to the center of the line.
Dimitoli was in front of her, and he had just stepped onto a white pegasus, took the silver spear from his back, and held it in his hand.
"Alright, we're all here. Let's go. β
As Dimitoli's words fell, more than thirty wooden plaques rose from the training ground.
"Requiem. Dimitoli said, pointing straight ahead.
Lycia quickly opened the Requiem circle and pointed the circle direction instrument in front of her, and the wooden sign in front of her immediately turned gray.
The judgment is valid.
γγγγ
Lycia found that the most tiring thing in the drill was herself, and there was almost no difference from the actual battle, and everyone else only needed to symbolically attack the plank.
"Tomorrow afternoon move training. "Dimitoli landed on Pegasus, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Wei led the members of the Mandala Academy to wait for them to leave the field outside the practice field.
"Prefect, they actually chose a person whose heraldic strength is not clear to control the magic circle. Julia whispered. "I heard that although she has a defensive circle, it is sometimes good and sometimes bad. β
"It's good to win by conventional means. Zhou Wei and the others lowered their heads and waited for the nine noble students to walk past them.
Except for the Nine Students of the Thorn Academy, the number of participants in the other Colleges was twelve, which was to balance the all-noble lineup of the Thorn Academy.
Julia also lowered her head, clenched her fists, and looked at the ground unwillingly.
As Lycia passed by her, she glanced at the 80 percent disgust level on her head.
For a moment, I don't know whether to worry that Buchton will not cooperate in the big game the day after tomorrow, or if Julia will play a trick against her.
*
The day before the Academy's big competition, Dimitri asked Dita Tower to draw lots on behalf of the College of Thorns.
"Center bit. Dimitoli read the note with it.
Everyone else sighed around the circle of light, and some even hammered the table.
Lycia is trying to memorize the optimal speed at which to put each potion into the circle.
"How can we draw the center position, if the two academies of Mandala and Akagi join forces and encompass us. Caroline said.
Her worries were justified, the playing field was rectangular, and the teams standing in the four corners were close to the center.
"An experience. Even Dimitorius frowned.
His tactics were supposed to be defensive, allowing Lycia, a freshman, to output normally
Buchdon leaned back in his chair with his sword in his hand, his mouth tilted to the side and made a 'cut' sound. "It's not because of you. β
"What's wrong with me, do you need to stand still to cast the circle? But you, as a swordsman, will constantly show flaws in the process of moving, I think it's because of you. Lycia stood up, feeling that it would make her more imposing.
"Of course you need to move, but, Lycia. Dimitri said.
"Hmm. Lycia sat down.
"You're definitely going to be a breakthrough in the eyes of everybody else. He thought for a moment. "So, you don't have a place in the center of the line, and when the match starts, you use the fast-moving circle to get to this place. β
Dimitorius pointed to a corner of the topographic map for Lycia. "Wait here until we arrive. β
*
"There are only eight people in the Academy of Thorns?" Julia used her binoculars to search for Lycia as she began the competition. "There, she ran away!"
She excitedly chased Lycia's fast-running figure with her gaze.
"Julia, what are you going to do?" Zhou Wei saw Julia use the only fast-moving formation in the team, running towards the northeast.
Lycia had just arrived at the location, carrying a circle and scrolls, as well as thirty bottles of potions, when she noticed a familiar figure coming towards her.
"You've lost. Julia drew her dagger and sped away at Lycia.
"Ding. Lycia blocked the attack with her shield and unleashed a frozen circle, leaving her heraldic power unactivated.
She didn't have time to think about why the protective power of the coat of arms came and went, and within five seconds of the freeze circle taking effect, she struck Julia in the stomach with her shield and ran in the direction her team had come.
A stray arrow flew towards her.
Fudomi quickly cast a spell that burned the arrows in mid-air, and Dimitoli lowered his flight altitude and pulled Lycia onto her horse.
"Someone found me. She sat on horseback and dropped hallucinogenic potions at Team Akagi in the air.
The battle behind was very chaotic, and due to the thorn academy in the center, the unconventional offensive strategy made the Akagi Academy and the Mandala Academy, which were originally planning to besiege them, mess up.
Originally, the Sea Lion Academy was about to reap the benefits, but the arrows that flew towards Dimitorius were blocked by Lycia's heraldic power.
She glanced at the man who shot the arrow, and it was Posetti who was in a state of rage.
The horns on his forehead were very conspicuous, and his eyes had turned silver, and he looked at Dimitri viciously, and shot another arrow.
Lycia still held her palm on Dimitri's shoulder, still in effect.
The tournament ended with a streak of wins from the Thorns Academy.
After the end, Lycia had a guess in her mind.
Could it be that the effectiveness of the low level of the coat of arms depends on whether the attacker likes or dislikes it?
That's a very reasonable statement, but this kind of heraldic power is also too weak.
