Chapter 245: Admission (2)
As soon as you enter the gate, you feel that the atmosphere of nouveau riche is everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although Han Tuo can judge from the feeling that the comprehensive national strength of the empire is not as good as that of the kingdom, there is no doubt that the facilities and buildings of the empire are not as luxurious as the kingdom.
But those extravagant-looking passages, buildings, without exception, are places where the richly dressed guys go. What Han Tuo led his friends through was nothing more than some extremely simple paths. The flow of people parted at a fork in the road, and the gorgeously dressed guys couldn't help but throw a rather playful smile in this direction. It's nothing more than some psychological advantages of being a nobleman.
This is the guy who didn't see what Han Tuo did before, after all, it was only a few minutes of process.
But the guys who saw it almost didn't dare to look at Han Tuo, and when they saw Han Tuo's figure, they ran away in a panic. The ignorant are fearless, and blind arrogance will eventually pay a price.
On the other side, Han Tuo was accompanied by some young people who were also low-key, but looked extremely strong. At a glance, you can know that it is a hard-working family of non-aristocratic people, and it does retain a good strength to a considerable extent.
There are also guys who are equally gorgeously dressed, but look down on people. Han Tuo could almost guess the identity of the other party at a glance, after all, he was a person who had the ability to "go this way", probably a senior guard of a noble family or a declining nobleman.
Long before he came here, the Imperial Academy had formed its own unique social system, and every student who entered or was studying inevitably became a part of the academy and there was no escape.
So...... What kind of roles are the five of us going to play?
Again, it seems to remind Han Tuo of the mood when high school started, and his mood began to be happy with the joyful mood, even in such a different world, but he can taste the same happiness, which can't help but make people feel quite moved.
There's a different guy coming in.
The moment of the encounter made Han Tuo's heart rise to his throat. After a fierce battle with the Demon King, Han Tuo can't reach the best state at any time, and even magic can't be used independently, so there are a lot of restrictions. But it also boasts of being a strong party, and it is not just a shrimp soldier crab that can be compared to anywhere.
Including Anya and other friends, everyone has noticed. From the moment that guy appeared in the field of vision, everyone almost reflexively raised their vigilance.
It was an orc. This fact was clearly evident from the ears and tail of the feline peeking out from the gray cloak, and the markinged ears and tail could be seen as a leopard-shaped orc, and the blade-shaped pupils looked towards it, making it feel as if the sharp blade was about to pierce one's head the next moment before it was just a short distance in front of one's eyes.
Empires are not the same as kingdoms, treating all allies equally. Elves and orcs are undoubtedly unpopular beings, and the nobles are clearly biased in favor of their own countrymen in many of the choices they make. Therefore, whether it is an elf or an orc, it is extremely rare to appear here. No one wants to do anything boring for themselves, I'm afraid Lifa and the guy in front of her are the only two aliens in the entire academy.
Just by looking at it, you can be sure that the other party is a strong person who has been trained in the Shura field. It's not much better than himself.,It's a guy at the same level as himself or even better.。
He looked over this way, then smiled and nodded. This move made Han Tuo a little abrupt, and he slowly realized that not all the strong people he met were hostile to him. That's right, this is not a battlefield where nerves are tense all the time, and all the strong people you see in front of you are terrible enemies.
The other party obviously showed kindness to himself, so he was too vigilant and damaged his face.
"Friend!" Like all orc races on the continent, this leopard-type orc also had a familiar enthusiastic personality, slowed down and walked towards Han Tuo's side, "I also saw Fang Cai's movements, it's really a great illusion! But there is no sign of magic activation, I didn't expect to see such a clever skill in such a place, it's amazing!"
Of course, there is no magic at work. This is originally one of the ways of struggle of people in this world, which is learned from the psychology books of this world. Compared to the people of the Gedia Continent, where everything relies on magic to operate, I'm afraid the realm is more than one level higher.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a small skill of carving insects. Han Tuo also nodded at him and responded, "I believe that even if you don't rely on my skills, you can probably do the same thing in other ways." ”
"You really think highly of me, I don't know if I can pass this test!"
"Let it be so. But......" Han Tuo also said calmly with a smile, "I will definitely be able to meet again, in the school class!"
In his words, he had already affirmed in an affirmative tone that the two of them would meet afterwards - on the premise that they both passed the exam. Even with the registration fee of as much as 20 gold coins, there are still a lot of students who still stubbornly enter, and they have exceeded 60% of the enrollment quota, and in order not to occupy the place of the nobles, they have to cut off a part of the number of students.
Many students are worried about this, but Han Tuo doesn't care too much, if he can't pass the exam at this level, he will simply resign as a brave man. He also has a lot of confidence in his companions, and because he has fought side by side with them, he knows their strength very well.
But the orc boy who met for the first time was also included in this range, not out of understanding of this guy, but purely about the strength of the other party. Just like the confidence that he won't be defeated, it also applies to an orc boy of the same strength as himself.
It's just that the other party still shirks his praise, and Han Tuo can sniff out the other party's stronger strength from it. Not being arrogant, not impatient, and not being moved, is the most basic psychological quality that a supreme strong person has.
"Ato...... This person ......," Anya said from behind, in a tone of concern.
"Yes, that's right. There is always a hunch that he will be inextricably linked to us...... We need to pay good attention to this person's actions. ”
The meaning behind the unspoken words, that is, whether this orc will become a partner or an enemy, is unknown at this time. Heaven and earth are truly vast.
Everywhere you go, there is an extremely large field, and it looks like the Colosseum, which is also found in the world. From the intersection of the road, there are two huge signboards, which are the entrance of the "Swordsman Examination" and the "Magician Examination". Most of the classes of all combat types in the continent of Gadia can be divided into these two options.
Fighting with weapons, even if they don't use a sword, is roughly classified as a "swordsman".
And those who use magic, whether they are healing warlocks, or warlocks who purely use attack magic, and those who use magic to fight, are all classified as "magicians".
Han Tuo Anya naturally didn't need to say much, and was ready to walk into the passage of the "swordsman" calmly. According to the idea, Ewell, Lifa, and Thor are going to enter the passage of the "magician". The elven girl was stunned and thought for a long time at the entrance, but walked behind Han Tuo with firm steps.
This couldn't help but surprise Han Tuo. In his opinion, although Lifa is good at bows and arrows and magic, fighting with pure flesh is obviously not in line with Lifa's fighting character, and it is more in line with cleaning up to go to the training as a "magician" here.
Saying this, I didn't expect Lifa to shake her head with a firm expression and directly reject Han Tuo's proposal.
It's not that I don't have a fighting personality, it's just that I'm not proficient in these items. The flesh of the elves is not suitable for rough fighting, but more suitable for small and agile things like magic and bows and arrows. But Lifa is now determined to break through this barrier and want to completely break through her limits.
When he returned from the royal capital, the feeling of powerlessness at that time was like a nightmare that surrounded him. What Lifa feared more than the brutal battle was that she was too weak and left behind by her friends. If it is still like that day, if he gives up Thor and leaves independently, I am afraid that this will become a bump in the road that he will not be able to overcome in his life, and there will be no possibility of improving his strength from now on.
So if you train yourself, you don't want to improve your bow and arrow magic for the time being, and you can only start from the skill of your own close combat.
Hone yourself as a "swordsman".
"Needless to say, Ato. Looking up, there was a pair of transparent eyes that shimmered with dazzling green light, and the essence that shot out of them shook the earth and Han Tuo's heart trembled, "My mind has been decided, and I can endure no amount of pain!"
Han Tuo had nothing to say.
"No problem, Lifa, but the path as a swordsman is quite hard. Anya, who is an old swordsman, gently touched Lifa's head, her face was smiling, but her eyes didn't feel smiling at all, "I will treat Lifa as my first disciple to hone it well~." ”
There was already a feeling of eagerness to try. Anya's tone turned out to be to take on Lifa's physical training, as Anya, who officially took over [Jin Xia] from her father and took over the title of "Sword Master", was excited by the first disciple who came suddenly.
As a result, aside from the abundance of books in the academy and the vast expanse of the field, honing their combat skills was just a joke for Han Tuo. In the case that eighty percent of the members are nobles, the teachers who accompany this aristocratic group are just wine bags and rice bags that are obsessed with power.
Because you can get rid of this aristocratic group at close range, you can gain a sense of trust and power or something, so that the teaching positions held by the nobles have become a symbol of promotion, and the teachers who stay on the civilian side are just guys who can't see the future.
Counting on such a teacher's old education is nothing more than a fool's dream.
Lifa's actions were just a hint among their companions. Although everyone's strength is almost on the same level, the field they are good at is unique, and the reason for this implication is to worship another partner as a teacher.
One succeeds in apprenticeship, the other succeeds in accepting apprentices, and the two girls who cheered happily were cheering behind them. Han Tuo smiled silently, watching the dark passage in front of him suddenly become clear as he traveled step by step.
From the moment ago, it felt like a Colosseum-like place, but the furnishings inside deepened Han Tuo's opinion of this place.
The students lined up to pass one project after another, and the first thing that bore the brunt of it was a huge glass ball that tested the power of magic. Then there was a huge stone that tested the strength of the sword, and next to it was a one-handed sword of standard size. Then there are the wood of the plum stakes, which is used to test footwork, or the ropes that hang high, and the agility of the body.
Not to mention in another world, even in this world, this kind of thing has not been done less. Han Xing often takes advantage of the days off to forcefully drag Han Tuo into the mountains for exercise, and these projects have long been familiar with his chest.
The slightest problem is that it has never been done before, about testing the quality of the mana.
Once the magic of black is known, nothing will happen.
Han Tuo walked and walked, inadvertently glancing at the place around him.
On the seats on the periphery of the field, there were sparsely seated people watching.
Most of these people are dressed as civilians, or people who have failed the exam, and sit there with their heads in their hands and regret alone. Or maybe it's a guy who has passed the exam and got the entrance qualification, and sits there hugging his shoulders with a look of ambition.
Undoubtedly, all of them are civilians, and of course, in this place where civilians are, it is difficult for the people watching to imagine that they will be other high-status guys. Those nobles have already obtained the qualifications for admission by relying on the power of their families, and they don't have the heart to find anything uncomfortable in this place.
Looking at such a group of people whose talents and strength are beyond their own, in the weak and stubborn self-esteem of the aristocracy, it is absolutely impossible to have the courage to come here to watch.
Because of this, the stands are all civilians.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
The girl who was brightly dressed and looked rather delicate sat there, and it became a very beautiful scenery from the rough Colosseum.
The girl looked this way, her eyes flashing like black gems, and she met Han Tuo's gaze. (To be continued.) )
