Chapter 51 The Gift of Pity
The one-week retreat time is over soon, this time the Imperial College competition ranking competition is simple, the stage of the academy inspection has ended, and then there is the link of the competition between teachers and student representatives, each academy is naturally the highest representative of strength, although this cannot represent the overall strength of the academy, but it can reflect the current situation of the academy, if you can be lucky enough to become the Imperial Academy, then the help from the Holy See can also make the academy undergo earth-shaking changes.
There are a total of ten teams participating in this ranking competition, among which three colleges are special, that is, three private academies including You Jialan, the other seven schools can be said to be undertaken by the Holy See, and the remaining three are private academies, the academies are personal products, if such an academy reaches the top of the Imperial Academy, the Holy See has no intention of rejecting it. The Imperial College has not always been the same, just like this incident, the cardinal archbishop was resolute and immediately abolished the existing Imperial Academy, which shows that the honor cannot be maintained from beginning to end.
Due to the importance of this ranking tournament, no one other than the principal and the participating team members are allowed to go, which means that the content and progress of the tournament are strictly confidential. Jace originally thought that he could go with him, even if it was to cheer him on, but the cardinal archbishop's personal order, even his family did not dare to disobey it.
Galio prepared a lot of potions, and although Pity and Pierre said they couldn't use them, Gallio insisted that they bring them. Among these potions, there are not only common basic potions, but also some potions with special functions, such as increasing speed in a short period of time, prolonging breathing underwater, etc., and Galio is delving into the scope of potions more and more.
Anne's child said that she would be obedient and obedient, waiting for mercy to bring good news, mercy smiled with relief, Anne was eight years old, and unconsciously the little girl was a year old, and she suddenly forgot that she didn't seem to have celebrated the birthday of the little girl, and she thought to herself that she must make up for Anne after this incident, and of course the most important birthday gift.
The headmaster was not worried at all, whether he could become an Imperial College or not was not the focus of his concern, the headmaster looked relaxed, completely unburdened, compared to other ambitious headmasters, he really had no desires.
On top of the carriage, the headmaster was napping on the side, and Pian took out the book of summoning he had made, "Mentor Pierre, this is for you. β
Pierre was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but widen his eyes when he took it, God! If he read it correctly, this should be a king-level summoning book!"Pity, you bought this and how much did it cost?"
was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's not that I bought it with money, I made it myself, it's just that ...... Maybe the craft is not very skilled. β
Pierre was amazed, and felt that the book of summoning in his hand suddenly became heavy, "You say...... You did it yourself?"
Ren nodded, "Originally, I wanted to use a more advanced Yuan Qi Pill, but the time is limited, so I can only settle for a while, the bears I am looking for, you should be more comfortable." β
Pierre was speechless, he didn't know what to say, just a little more, a higher level of Yuan Qi Pill, how powerful did she want to create a book of summoning, with her current age, she could actually create a king-level ...... I'm afraid her enchantment level has surpassed her peers by too much!
"Let me ask, your enchantment level ......," Pierre said, smiling pitifully, "The last time it was verified to be a master level, after a while, it should have increased a bit." β
Pierre is modest, Pierre doesn't think so, he has a certain concept of the sub-profession of enchanter, how can an enchanter who can create a king-level summoning book be at the master level! Pierre looked at Pity with a shock, she was only twenty-two or three years old when she died, not to mention the strength for the time being, just the enchantment, there are already five people who can be defeated. Pierre did not praise him excessively, let alone exaggerate it, he thought that his cognitive rationality was clear, but in the case of pity, he doubted that his estimation would still be low.
"Is this for me?" Pierre's palms were sweaty, a little flattered, and he smiled pitifully, "Of course, if you help me so much when I go to the extreme cold, I should give something in return." β
Pierre couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, he has been a mercenary for decades, what kind of task has not been accepted, what kind of employer has not been encountered? He has not accepted life and death tasks once or twice, although they have been completed without danger, but for his consumption, it is not those commissions that can be compensated, and no employer will care about his feelings, in the eyes of these employers, the payment of due remuneration is all the reward for him, and the mercenary can no longer ask for anything else, an employer like Pi...... Pierre had never seen it before, and it was almost impossible for a mercenary to receive a gift from his employer.
Pierre felt a little warmth in his heart, it turned out that when he was born and died, there were still people who were thinking about him, thinking about his loss, thinking about his loss, not every mission process was cold and ruthless, this time, he felt the warmth.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Pierre spoke, the reason why he would have volunteered to stay in the first place was also to admire and pity this young man, she had saved his life, and he was not the kind of person who was not grateful for the newspaper.
Smile pitifully, "Give it to you, don't shirk it anymore." β
Pierre hooked the corners of his mouth, the number one mercenary who has been on the road of mercenaries for decades, felt real ease at this moment, he bid farewell to this bloody and cruel road, and returned to a stable and peaceful life, and it was also at this moment that he felt the beauty from the human form, which made him more determined that he had chosen the right one, and staying in You Jialan was probably the wisest decision in his life.
"Okay, then I'll take it. Pierre opened his mouth, and did not shirk, he immediately poured his vitality into it, and opened the book of summoning, you must know that Pierre destroyed two books of summoning since the last mission, which is also something that has never been done before, and then he chose to stay in You Jialan, as a teacher, he did not think about looking for the book of summoning again immediately, this time he was prepared for the ranking competition, but he didn't expect to receive such a big gift, the king level...... That's a lot more than he prepared himself!
Mercy smiled, to be honest, she was looking forward to what kind of power the book of summoning she made could exert in Pierre's hands, and if it was played well, she would be honored in her heart. The headmaster opened his eyes in confusion and yawned, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, it's just to talk about the situation that may be encountered in this ranking match." β
Pierre nodded, "I wonder if Principal Lu Dao can give me some advice?"
The principal was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Suggestion...... Just do your best, just do your best. β
Pierre was stunned for a moment, and then smiled pitifully, "What the principal means is that we will try our best to get the first place." β
The principal couldn't help but laugh, this is not what he meant, this girl's goal this time is really to go to the first place. Pierre smiled, "This is natural, there may be obstacles in the Teacher Power Ranking Competition, but in the student section, there will be no difficulties." β
Ren nodded, but after thinking about it, maybe other colleges have the same idea as them, they are all running for this first, and they also have a high level of confidence in their own strength. The location of this ranking tournament was not in the imperial capital, but in a location set by the Holy See, in a relatively remote academy, of course, when they went, the academy was empty.
Coming to the auditorium, the wide auditorium is the location of this ranking competition, there are seats around the auditorium, and there is a wide competition field in the middle, most of the colleges and universities have already come when they arrived, and there is a unique row of positions in the stands on the second floor of the auditorium, which is naturally reserved for cardinals.
The other academies all took their seats, and the three of them also sat down and looked around, no one from the original Imperial Academy was present, and it was estimated that this occasion was just a shame for them. The personnel of the other faculties arrived one after another, and the principals all looked complacent, as if they could feel their victory before the game began. The students who participated in the ranking tournament have already seen it, and as for the teacher, they don't have much to worry about, although these are the top-notch colleges in the imperial capital, it is difficult to find teachers who surpass the higher levels, and even if they have, how can they beat Pierre, who was born as a mercenary, in terms of combat experience?
Pierre's expression was indifferent, exuding a compelling momentum, perhaps accustomed to the attitude of being a mercenary, Pierre's whole person seemed out of place on this occasion, giving people a great sense of unease, and the whole person had nothing to do with the teacher at all.
The teachers and students of the other colleges all looked suspicious, and their intuition was that You Jialan was bringing a restless person. "Can that kind of person be a mentor? You Jialan Academy is really empty. "A very loud 'whisper' came, Pierre remained silent, raised his eyes and glanced at it, hum, they are all a group of people who rely on their own imagination and guess.
Soon, the cardinal archbishop arrived, everyone present stood up to show respect, the cardinal archbishop wore a red-coat uniform and climbed to the second floor, and before sitting down, he did not forget to signal these people downstairs, many young people couldn't help but glance at Lu, after all, it was a cardinal archbishop, and it was a rare opportunity to be able to meet, but Ran Lian was level-eyed, and he had no interest in the cardinal archbishop at all.
The ranking tournament soon began, and the cardinal was in charge himself, which made this ranking tournament even stronger, which was not only about the battle for the name of the Imperial Academy, but also an opportunity to show it in front of the cardinal! Let the Holy See know himself! This is the common wish of almost all the contestants present.
"That's the cardinal archbishop...... Pierre sighed, this is the first time he has the honor to meet the cardinal archbishop, and he is naturally full of emotion to be able to see such a character, if he hadn't become You Jialan's mentor, he probably wouldn't have this opportunity.
Pity smiled, and Pierre looked at Mercy, always feeling that Miss Bella didn't seem to care much. Although Pierre called Mercy by her name on the surface, he still felt that it was more appropriate to call Miss Bella in his heart. Pierre secretly observed, and Mercy's reaction to the cardinal archbishop was very cold, as if it were commonplace.
The cardinal archbishop sat on a high place, with an unobstructed view of the people below, feeling the respectful eyes of everyone, and the cardinal archbishop's eyes inevitably had a look of pride, this is the aura that this position gave him, and on this continent, no one on this continent can be higher than him in the influence of the people.
"All the participating academies have arrived?"
"Yes, Cardinal, they're all here. β
"Well, it's time to go. The cardinal archbishop spoke lightly, and the clerk beside him stepped forward and opened the curtain of the ranking competition. The cardinal archbishop sat there, looking at the ten colleges and universities sitting below, his eyes stayed in the direction of mercy, that is You Jialan Academy? Bella. The cardinal archbishop frowned slightly, You Jialan Academy was personally invited by him, but he didn't have this plan to let a private academy get it, and the Imperial Academy must be controlled by the Holy See!
The competition system of the ranking tournament is simple and easy to understand, ten colleges draw lots to face each other, five colleges have a wheel battle, and the one with the most victories is the winner who has the most victory! Tutors and students are suitable for this system, if the winner of the two rings is from the same school, the answer is self-evident, if it is from different schools, then it is the winner's two colleges to have the most decisive duel, if the two links are one-on-one, then there is a cardinal archbishop to make a choice, it depends on which side the cardinal preferred.
The ranking match officially began, the first thing to do was the mentor ranking match, the tutors from ten colleges and universities drew lots, and each other's eyes were not friendly, the tutor ranking match started nervously, Pierre drew the fourth group, compared to the change of other people's expressions, Pierre was serious and silent. Sitting there, he looked indifferently at the other people who were facing each other in the middle, and said in a low voice, "The instructors of the other academies are also of good quality. β
Pity couldn't help frowning, it seems that she underestimated these academies, and the appearance rate of Huang Yuanqi is not low, which proves that nine out of ten of these ten academies are sent out of a higher level or above! Pity sighed in her heart, she forgot that this is the imperial capital, a place with the best teacher level, can the top ten schools here not have such a level of tutors? If it is another kingdom, even if it is a first-class kingdom, it does not have this strength.
The duel between the first three groups was quickly completed, and the contest between the tutors tended to be heavier, and the contest of strength was completely raised to another level, which was not understandable to these young people, who were dumbfounded and proud of their academy mentors.
There is not much difference in the strength level between the mentors, and it is impossible to say who wins or loses, and soon it was the turn of the fourth group, Pierre walked to the middle with a solemn face, and the academy tutor who was fighting against him looked Peel up and down, "Are you really the academy mentor? Why do you look more like a hooligan bandit?"
Laughter erupted, and Principal You Jialan said in embarrassment, "Tutor Pierre is just a little too serious......
Pierre frowned, he was accustomed to decades of mercenary life, he naturally gave people the feeling of a bandit, which was something that could not be erased from him. "How do you teach your students? Teach them how to fight and kill every day, and teach them how to cut people with an axe!"
Pierre's expression was indifferent, "Do you fight or not?" Although it is a summoner profession, among the mercenaries, Pierre is considered to be a polite type, but compared to these mentors who are engaged in education, Pierre is much stronger. The cold eyes looked over, making the hearts of the opponents tremble, "Hmph, pretending to be a momentum." "The opponent was dismissive, and casually showed his weapon, which was a huge battle axe!
With a flick of Pierre's wrist, the Book of Summons made by Pien lit up on the palm of his hand, and Pien's eyes couldn't help but look forward to what effect the Book of Summons he made could have, and now it was time to test!
"Summoner?" the mentor of the battle raised his eyebrows, looking scrupled, and then smiled disdainfully, "Hmph, what level of summoner can it be?"
"Whew!" a yellow vitality flashed from his palm, and when he saw the color of the vitality, he knew it, and there was a smile in his eyes, and the headmaster was puzzled to see her smile so easily, "Little mercy, Mentor Pierre's opponent is a bronze......-level warrior! Mentor Pierre will suffer!"
He shook his head with a smile, "Suffer, that master's strength is only the first or second grade of bronze, just look at the intensity of the color of the vitality, you can know that it is impossible for him to win." β
The headmaster's eyes widened, "You mean to say that Mentor Pierre's strength ......!"
Pity smiled and said, "It's hard for me to say now, but when I didn't know Mentor Pierre, he was already a king-level summoner, is his strength now...... It's higher than the first or second level. β
"King-level summoner?!" the principal's breath froze, "My God, You Jialan Academy actually has a teacher of such a strength level...... Oh my God!" The headmaster, visibly shocked by the news, smiled pitifully, "It won't be long...... I believe that there will be more and more mentors of this strength. β
In the center of the venue, the mentor duel of You Jialan Academy obviously attracted more attention, and even the cardinal archbishop seemed to be interested, "That's the battle mentor of You Jialan Academy?"
"Yes, Lord Cardinal. β
The cardinal's eyes swept over, summoner...... How capable can the tutors of You Jialan College be?
Pierre was holding the Book of Summonings in his hand, to be honest, he was a little nervous, this was the Book of Summons made by Miss Bella, the first time he used it was on such an important occasion, Pierre took a deep breath and drank lowly!"Summon!"
The dazzling light suddenly spread out from the Book of Summoning, and Pierre himself was also very surprised! A huge formation appeared in front of Pierre, and after a while, the light faded, and a black shadow appeared, and everyone on the scene couldn't help but widen their eyes!
Pierre looked at the creature he had summoned in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but beat a lot faster, "Thisβthis is ......!"
------Off topic------
Is it really a bear that has been summoned? Hahaha!
