Ms. Meredith, a history teacher, walked into the classroom with a stack of books with a straight face, and slowly walked up to the podium, and the classroom was immediately silent.

She turned her head to look at Surdak who was sitting in the seat by the window, and raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously feeling a little unhappy that Surdak had just run past her.

In order to avoid blocking other students, Surdak usually sits in the last row when choosing a seat, but today the back row of seats in the classroom is full, Surdak has to settle for the next best, sitting by the window, through the window you can see the entire playground and the snow at the school gate, and there are some trainee knights on the playground who are practicing a simple military formation.

This class is "General History of Imperial Knights", which belongs to Surdak's weakest point, he doesn't know much about the official history of the Grimm Empire, and he usually has to go to the library to read some history books when he has the opportunity, but he still can't understand what the terms such as the All-Race War and the Goblin Technology Era represent.

However, this class does not seem to be about this, the teacher here never settles the chronological order of historical events, and basically thinks of where he thinks at random, and will continue to explore in depth through this question.

Lady Meredith picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the word 'knight' on the blackboard, then turned to the cadet knights in the audience with both hands on the podium:

"Knight! For us Grimm Empire people, there are usually two meanings. ”

The students in the audience, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't understand what Ms. Meredith is going to say.

Given that the old woman was usually known for her bad temper in the academy, no one dared to whisper or laugh in her class, and being stared at by her was definitely more terrifying than the death stare of the brute bull in the swamp country.

Lady Meredith held out a finger and said to the midshippers:

"The first is that it represents social status, belongs to the commoners, second only to the nobility, and the knight is a group of people who are attached to the nobility and have a small fief, which is mainly a group of people who want to defend themselves against foreign enemies on the battlefield during the war, or open up territory in some unknown territory."

Then she stretched out a second finger, glanced at everyone in the classroom, and said:

"Second, it represents a class of warriors, like warriors, assassins, swordsmen, warriors, rangers, and archers, which are a general term for a class of warriors. Of course, the knights in our knight academy belong to the second type, you graduate from the academy, you will not change your identity, nor will you get a fief, if you want to obtain these honors, you still have to rely on your merits on the battlefield in exchange. ”

At this time, she saw Surdak retract her gaze from the window, and her heart was even more unhappy.

Surdak sat by the window and just happened to see a magic caravan parked at the gate of the academy, wearing a tight leather armor Darcy. Miss Christie deftly jumped out of the carriage and ran into the kendo at a speed of 100 meters, looking like she should be late.

'What a swordsman, how fast he runs!' Surdak sighed to himself.

At this time, he did not realize that he was being targeted by Lady Meredith, when he heard someone in his ear say, "Knight Surdak, if it is convenient to say, I want to know...... What army were you previously affiliated with? ”

I don't know when, Ms. Meredith was already standing behind Surdak.

She is always like this, sometimes she walks as light as an orange cat, and she can always walk up to her distracted classmate unexpectedly and suddenly ask a question to scare him.

Surdak was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Ms. Meredith, he reflexively stood up, stood up straight, and said loudly: "Surdak, 2nd Squad, 6th Squadron, 4th Battalion, 57th Heavy Infantry Regiment of the Bena Regiment. ”

The midshipmen in the classroom all looked at Surdak, and countless pairs of young eyes looked at him with curiosity.

These teenagers are full of curiosity about the battlefield, and the high death rate of the Green Empire every year makes the word 'battlefield' almost synonymous with 'terror', and any soldier who can come back alive from the battlefield will be envious by these teenagers who have not yet been on the battlefield.

"Very well, how many demons have died at your hands?" Ms. Meredith was pleased with Surdak's response.

"I don't remember exactly, Ms. Meredith." Surdak touched the back of his head, smiled apologetically at Lady Meredith, and said, "Our second squad is always on reconnaissance missions, and I have peeled off at least a hundred black magic skins, and possibly more. ”

"You were a shield warrior before?" Lady Meredith was a head shorter than him, and she looked up at Surdak's face.

"Yes, Ms. Meredith." Surdak replied succinctly.

"Can you also peel the skin?" Ms. Meredith's tone softened.

Surdak remembered his own experience of learning to peel and said: "When I first joined the army, I only had a little bit, but then I became proficient in peeling. ”

"Please sit down and talk, relax, and have a casual conversation." Lady Meredith reached out and patted Surdak on the shoulder, her eyes falling on the knight's medal on his chest, her mind imagining him fighting on the battlefield, and the last half of her words seemed to be spoken to the other students in the classroom.

"Teacher, I think what is the basic difference between a knight and a warrior?" A young midshipman raised his hand and asked.

With the exception of Surdak, the average age of these probationary knights was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

With the whip in her hand, Ms. Meredith walked towards the podium and said, "That's a good question, and I've been waiting for one of you to come forward and ask me this question, and that proves you're really thinking." The meaning of the word 'knight', instead of passively accepting what I have instilled in you, you trainee knights, some of you are destined to go to war in the future, I think the first thing you have to learn in the academy is to know that you go to the battlefield, put yourself in the right position, and be able to protect yourself. ”

She stepped onto the podium, slowly glanced around the classroom, and said:

"To live is to have glory!"

Then he turned around and wrote the word 'warrior' at the top of the blackboard, and then split two lines below, connecting 'warrior' and 'knight'.

Her chalk handwriting is smooth and pleasing to the eye, and Ms. Meredith said: "First of all, many people think that junior warriors are warriors, which itself has a certain misunderstanding, and the reason why everyone has this misconception lies in the common denominator between the two: knights and warriors can wear heavy armor, both have to learn basic swordsmanship, both have long swords and shields, and in my opinion, knights are far inferior to a warrior when they are not riding, so let a knight dismount and duel with a warrior, In my opinion, this is unfair. ”

"Of course, you haven't been exposed to real knightly skills, so you don't know the difference between a knight and a warrior." "It's only when you get into professional skills that you understand the difference," says Ms. Meredith. ”

Then she wrote under the 'warrior' on the blackboard: "The training of junior warriors is biased towards weapon specialization, they pursue a strong physique, when they comprehend the 'potential', they can complete the first transfer, become an intermediate warrior, and in the future, they will have to learn tactics, cultivate fighting spirit, and wait until the fighting spirit is released, you can carry out the second transfer, once you break through the second transfer, you can use the magic pattern to strengthen your ......"

Written directly below the 'knight' 'riding and aura', introduced: "The knight's learning direction will be more balanced, first of all, the knight's core combat skill is riding, of course, the knight also needs to comprehend the 'potential', when you become an intermediate knight, you have to try to choose to learn a kind of aura, this is a powerful force that can affect the people around you, only when the aura power is released, you have the opportunity to become a second-turn strong, knights and warriors are two completely different paths." ”

“……”

This class allowed Surdak to learn a lot of new knowledge.

There were many things that he had never thought of before, although there were so many heavy cavalry and knightly formations in the camp of the Moyunling Expeditionary Force, but each legion was considered to be fighting alone on the battlefield, he watched from a distance that these knights picked up their spears, knocked over the demons, and then cut off the heads of the demons with their swords, but he didn't notice that they had a knight's aura on them.

It wasn't until the bell rang that Surdak pondered these questions as he leaned against the window.

……

Surdak was looking for a seat in the crowded cafeteria with a plate of food as a figure stood up from the crowd and beckoned him to go over there.

Darcy. Christie stood there to greet him, and Surdak walked over with a plate, only to find that the seats were full, and the seats in the cafeteria were always tight at noon.

Darcy. Christie looked at the student next to her, as if she felt Darcy's fierce gaze, the student immediately took the plate and ran away nervously, Darcy moved her body to the side, signaling Surdak to sit down.

She elegantly tore a piece of wheat cake and put it in her mouth, and said with her red lips as she ate, "I heard you're home?" ”

Those eyes looked at Surdak without hesitation.

"Hmm!" Surdak eats with his head down.

Darcy. Christie's pupils slowly dilated, her mouth opened, and she stared at him in surprise, like looking at a monster: "It's snowing so hard, can't you think about it like this?" Having an urgent business at home? ”

Seeing such a cold day, Darcy was only wearing light leather armor that was tight-fitting and shaped, and Surdak felt cold for her.

"Nope." Surdak had wheat cakes in his mouth, and his voice was a little slurred.

Darcy expressed frustration at his appearance, but she immediately added, "By the way, next weekend we are going to prepare for the winter hunt, how are your archery skills?" ”

Surdak didn't think he could shoot the sand wolf to death with an alloy bow, but since Darcy . . . Christie asked, and he still said, "It's okay!" ”

Darcy. Christie stared at Surdak with a strange expression: "Hey, lethargic, what's going on?" Need me to help you out? ”

"Where? Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, I came back a little late, I couldn't get into the city, and I stayed in the Golden Acorn Hotel outside the city for one night, and it was very noisy next door. Surdak said.

Darcy. Christie gave him a sympathetic look.

Surdak looked at Darcy. Christie's delicate light leather armor and saber, suddenly thought that she graduated from the Advanced Swordsman Academy and must know a lot about this aspect of the warrior, so she humbly said: "Darcy, then you can help me analyze it......"

Worthy of being a graduate of the High Swordsman Academy, Darcy. Christie's answer gave Surdak a general idea of the various fighters.

Surdak said a little depressedly: "So, I'm still a fighter? The sword and shield are proficient, and no one has ever told me that I can learn the art of battle and the fighting spirit......"

"Probably in the hoplite regiment, the cannon fodder doesn't need to learn high-level tactics and fighting spirit...... "Darcy. Christie said very bluntly.

This almost blocked Surdak with nothing to say, so he could only change the subject: "Darcy. What are you swordsmen like? ”

"We usually pay more attention to agility and balance training, junior swordsmen focus on swordsmanship skills, and intermediate swordsmen are also called sword dancers." Darcy first explained, and when he saw Surdak's puzzled face, he put on a look of indifference and said: "Don't worry about this, knights and warriors have so much in common, you can learn anything you want, you can learn to specialize in weapons while learning horsemanship, don't you do the same?" ”

"......" Surdak was a little speechless, thinking to himself when did I do this? I just practice basic swordsmanship every day.

"I'm a little bit of ......a mess in my head right now," Surdak said.

When Darcy heard Surdak say this, he immediately became interested, and simply put down the spoon and pushed the plate aside, and then asked Surdak: "Are you entangled in learning tactics and fighting spirit, or learning the aura of knighthood?" ”

"Either way, the problem is that I haven't learned ......," Surdak spread his hands, indicating that he was not a picky eater.

Darcy. Christie stared at Surdak with an idiotic gaze before he said, "...... Well, you're the most special I've ever met, so do you want to learn the Knight Aura? It seems to be in the library of the Knight Academy, and I can find an instructor to take you to the beginning. Of course, there are only the simplest ones in the academy, defense and strength. ”

"Is it in the library? Then I'll find out first. Surdak thought for a moment and said.

"Well, don't forget next weekend's winter hunt and behave better!" Darcy. Christie stood up, took her plate and walked away.

Surdak also hurriedly ate the food on his plate.

There are still two classes in the afternoon, and then I have to go to the White Elephant Trading House to trade sulfur ore, if those magic herbs have not been traded, Surdak wants to remove them as soon as possible, after all, they are the trophies obtained from the black magician, and before they completely solve the remnants of the Black Magic Hermitage lurking in the city of Hailanza, they can not take it out or try not to take it out.
