August in Sidenia is very hot, but fortunately the sun is not too fierce today, and it is a good day to get around.

This morning, the side courtyard of Arnold's mansion resounded as usual with the crisp clash of weapons.

It was their morning exercise, and Arya was dressed in armor, holding the sword of law and the wish of the Holy Light with the arm shield, and looked at the black-haired boy in front of her with a focused expression.

Roy shot an arrow at Arya with a black sniper in hand, and as she raised her shield to block, he was short and quickly went into stealth.

After half a year of training with the Knights, Arya is no longer the novice knight who didn't know anything about actual combat.

Unfazed, she condensed the Divine Armor and the Sword of Dawn, and watched intently every move in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Roy to attack.

The knight is good at static braking, and if he blindly attacks in the face of the invisible Moon Shadow, he will be caught with a bigger flaw.

The courtyard was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a faint sound of breaking the air in her ears, coming from directly behind her.

Arya turned around and took the arrow with her arm shield, but she didn't see Roy.

The black sniper was suspended in mid-air, as if it had been held up by an invisible hand to shoot, becoming a decoy to distract her attention.

But she had to guard against it, although in normal sparring, the black sniper only shot ordinary arrows, but if it was a real battle, Roy would use special spiritual arrows.

If you're not careful, those arrows will pierce through her armor and damage her.

And the moment she turned to concentrate on fending off the black sniper's shot, Roy was already quietly closing behind her.

Roy, who had the eye of insight, was able to detect the timing of her turn in advance, so he approached very quickly.

Almost as soon as she turned back, he was already approaching her, and the movements of the two were almost simultaneously.

Roy's left hand was wearing a super-grade spirit glove Xuanxi three styles, and at this time, he clenched his left hand into a fist, and the Xuanxi three styles condensed the style of a spiritual power fist blade, erasing the back of Arya's neck.

This blow is inflicted with the ruling's "Shattered" and Moon Shadow's "Shadow Attack", which not only ignores the opponent's shield, but also deals additional weakness damage when attacking in the opponent's blind spot.

That layer of divine armor couldn't stop his assassination.

"Oops......" Arya's back was covered in a cold sweat, she could almost feel the chill looming behind her, but she didn't have time to turn back to defend herself.

At the critical moment, the Wish of the Arm Shield Holy Light suddenly lit up, and a holy light rose from under Arya's feet, unfurling a barrier composed of light curtains.

Roy's spiritual power fist blade slashed at the light curtain, and it was impenetrable for a while.

Each super-grade spiritual weapon has its own special function, and this ancestral shield of the Christian family is engraved with the spiritual power circle of the sixth-order Holy Knight skill "Divine Protection".

At the same time, it also comes with the function of storing spiritual power, and Arya can store spiritual power in the Holy Light Wish in normal times.

When she is ready to fight, she can use the spiritual power accumulated in her shield to activate the circle, so that she can use "Holy Protection" even with her strength.

"Divine Protection" is a sixth-order skill, even if it is a weakened version, it is not something that Roy can easily erase with "Destruction" at this time.

The curtain of light didn't last long, but it bought Arya a breather, and she finally had time to turn back to defend herself, and Joyeus in her hand slashed at Roy with golden flames.

Roy's mind moved, and the Xuanse Three Styles suddenly changed from the spirit power fist blade style to the spirit power shield style, his left hand resisted the sword slash, and at the same time, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and he was about to blast towards Arya subconsciously.

Under the influence of the Heart of God, his physical body is even more powerful than that of berserkers of the same rank, enough to be used as a humanoid weapon.

But just as he threw a punch, he suddenly froze, and then slowly lowered his hand.

The power of the God's Heart is so powerful that it is almost brainless, and in the environment of his peers, even if it is a legal envoy on the other side, he can suppress it without any inheritance skills.

But if he is so dependent on the heart of God that he gives up thinking, then his power of "Moon Shadow" and "Judgment" will not be exercised in any way.

In the long run, he could only become a puppet of the God Heart, and all the efforts he had made in the past to cultivate would also become a joke.

After all, with the blessing of the artifact, even if he is fused with a dog, he can be invincible in the world, what else does he need to do "Roy"?

Although lying down all the way is not a bad choice, who doesn't have a trace of arrogance in their hearts?

As a two-time lineage of Sidney's precedents, he is confident that even without the heart of God, he is still the best among his peers.

It is true that the artifact will make him stronger, even in the face of the temple family, he has the confidence to straighten his waist, but this does not mean that he Roy is a waste without the heart of the god!

Especially more than a month ago, when he saw Qin Liu's peerless sword in the arena, this thought in his heart became stronger and stronger.

According to the Heart of God, Qin Liu was not a divine envoy, and her sword came from her own strength.

Can she get to this point, and I, Roy, with my own talent and hard work, can't get there?

And now, the upcoming three-year Inheritor Academy career is a great time to hone his own strength.

It was full of young people of his age and rank, and there was no danger of encountering demonic beasts or high-level demons in the wilderness.

This gives him the power to use the power of the Heart of God as a hole card, allowing him to calm down and tap into his vast potential as a dual inheritor.

"Young Master?"

Arya had already raised her shield to take a defensive stance, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she saw Roy suddenly give up the attack.

Before that, she had already learned Roy's almost terrifying physical powers.

"It occurred to me that I was an assassin."

Roy smiled, "As long as you are willing to use your brain, there is more than one way to defeat your opponent, isn't it?" ”

The next moment, the black sniper floating in Arya's blind spot shot an arrow again, hitting her in the back.

The divine armor blocked this arrow, and Arya let out a soft "ah", and then said in distress: "Young master, your trick is too bad!" ”

This is the same trick that Roy used to assassinate Roman in the dungeon, and now this routine has been perfected by him.

Using the "Space Hand" of the judgment to control the shooting angle of the black sniper, coupled with the attack of the main body, the enemy can be said to be attacked from both sides.

Whether facing the Black Sniper or his body, the enemy will inevitably suffer a surprise attack from out of sight.

Moon Shadow's "Shadow Strike" inflicts additional weakness damage on attacks that are in the opponent's blind spot, so each of his attacks is lethal.

This is the killer move that belongs to his "Moon Shadow" and "Judgment" dual inheritors, and as he rises in the future, his research on these two lineages will gradually deepen.

At that time, he will develop more powerful combos.

Roy stretched out his hand, and the black sniper automatically floated back into his hand, and said with a smile: "Since it is a real combat move, of course the more skinny it is, the better."

"You don't have to be frustrated, the Holy Knight is not a legacy that is good at fighting alone. As the lawgiver of Joyeus, your team is much more useful than if you were in battle to kill enemies. ”

Arya understands that this is not only a consolation for the teenager, but also a true truth, but being won by Roy every time she competes still makes her feel a little frustrated.

In the past six months, her training in the Knights has not fallen behind at all, you know, the knights in the Knights are all excellent graduates who have graduated from the Inheritor Academy.

To keep up with their training intensity, she did her best.

But Rao is like this, she still hasn't been able to take advantage of the sparring with Roy, and she can even feel that Roy obviously still has spare strength.

This is the man she needs to spend her whole life chasing.

After a while of sparring, Roy and Arya went to take a cool shower and change into plain clothes.

Arya arrives at Roy's room and begins to count her luggage.

More than a month has passed since that graduation ceremony, and with the short vacation time over, today is the day for them to enroll in the Inheritor Academy.

However, even though it is a holiday, they have not spent this time leisurely.

Needless to say, Arya attends the Knights' training on time every day, and Roy has also made an urgent special training plan for himself.

In terms of props, he placed a big order with Master John in the Slashing Flame Weapon Shop, customized a batch of special spiritual power arrows, and also studied the performance of the Xuanse Three Styles.

In terms of actual combat, in addition to training with Arya every day and hunting in the World Tree with Harvey, he will occasionally go to the headquarters of the Knights to rub their training facilities and train with regular knights.

Freshman Dabi is just a month after the freshman enrolls, which is a large-scale entrance test, and before that, he has to adjust his state to the best.

Soon, Arya packed her luggage, and the two of them loaded their bags into the carriage and set off towards the World Tree.

……

The World Tree is on the third floor, and the academy collar.

The new students were enrolled, and the Inheritor Academy was bustling, and Roy looked down at the admission notice in his hand, confirming the procedures required for admission.

There are only two things you need to do when you come to school today, one is to report to the tutor, and the other is to confirm your dorm.

The Inheritor Academy is divided into departments and classes according to different lineages, and the one he wants to report on is the Assassin Moonshadow class, and Arya is the Holy Knight class of the Knight department.

They can only meet when they are in some group class.

But...... Roy checked the heavy luggage in his hand, and felt that it would be easier to go to the dormitory to put down the luggage before going to the tutor to report.

The last page of the admission notice is accompanied by a map of the Inheritor Academy, which can be roughly divided into five main areas:

The first area: the teaching area, which is where students usually attend classes.

The second area: the administrative area, where the tutors of the college work.

The third area: the competition area, which is a place for students to carry out activities, competitions, and tests.

The fourth area: the square area, the commercial street in the college, where you can eat, buy goods, etc.

The fifth area: the dormitory area, which is a place for the students and tutors in the college to rest, and it is also their destination this time.

Inheritors are extremely rare, and even if the Inheritor Academy recruits school-age students from all over West Denia, the number of Inheritor students enrolled in each class will not exceed 300.

In some "recession" years, there were only more than 200 students, and they were spread evenly over 18 inheritances, and there were only a dozen students in each class.

Therefore, the college values every student who is a bearer, and this preferential treatment is reflected in the accommodation, where everyone can have their own single bedroom.

And this single bedroom is not small, with a separate bathroom, kitchen, balcony, cloakroom and so on.

If you want a more comfortable accommodation, you can also add money to choose a more luxurious and spacious dormitory, in short, in the logistics area, the service of the Inheritor Academy has been very thoughtful.

Following the map, Roy and Arya arrived at the dormitory, where a row of tables was pulled at the entrance of the dormitory, where the staff of the dormitory sat to receive the new students.

"Hello, we're here to report."

Roy stepped forward and handed his identification to the staff.

"Roy Arnold, is Lunaris?"

The staff quickly checked their identities and handed out a drawing, "This dormitory belongs to your Assassin Department, you can just pick an empty room and sign it." ”

The Inheritor Academy's coverage lasted all day, and they came in the morning, so there were quite a few empty rooms.

Roy had difficulty choosing the drawing, and Arya also got the list of rooms in the knight department, she glanced at it, and said with some hesitation:

"Is there any other option? I've heard that you can pick a better room for extra money. ”

She had just seen that the Knight students' dormitories were quite far away from the Assassin students' dormitories, which would cause a lot of trouble for her and Roy's daily meetings.

"I'm obviously a freshman, so I know a lot."

The staff raised their heads and said in a strange tone, "That's right, as long as you are willing to add 'money', you can naturally move to a better dormitory."

"Even if you live in a single-family house, it's theoretically possible, but—"

He pointed his finger and said leisurely: "This money is not the other money, the important resources in the Inheritor Academy are not measured by the value of Thor.

"We have a currency that circulates among the inheritors, called "Merit", merit can only be obtained by raiding the World Tree or completing the tasks designated by the Academy, and the merit can be exchanged for most of the things you want in the Academy.

"In other words, merit can be exchanged for money, but money cannot be exchanged for merit, it is the real hard currency of the academy, and most of the valuable items are traded through merit, which is the same in the accommodation area."

"Meritorious......" Roy narrowed his eyes.

He knew this thing, in the past, Renault led his retainers and guards to hunt on the first floor of the World Tree, just to earn merit, and then exchange the merit for Thor to subsidize the family.

Merit is the inheritor's money, and as long as your merit is sufficient, you can even exchange it for land and hereditary nobility in Sidney.

Including his Arnold family, most of the current hereditary nobility of Sidneya was obtained through this route.

If you want to change to a better dormitory, you need to earn more merits, but in any case, as new students, they are "penniless" at least today.

The matter of changing the bed still needs to be discussed from now on.

Seeing Arya's embarrassed expression, the staff thought that the eldest lady from a noble family was not used to living in a small room, so she persuaded her:

"Even if you are a direct descendant of the temple family, if you don't have enough merit, you have to obediently go to live in a standard room, no exceptions.

"And even in the standard room, the accommodation conditions of the Inheritor Academy are quite good, and most of the students live in the standard room until they graduate, let alone the new students.

"At the very least, you should go to the dormitory first and see if you are satisfied."

He didn't know that the reason why Arya was embarrassed was not because she thought the room was small, but because her bedroom was too far away from Roy.

In Arnold House, they live next door to each other, and it is very convenient for them to communicate with each other.

Originally, she thought that this time she would stay in the Inheritor Academy, she could take the opportunity to rent a large suite and live with Roy, but she didn't expect that the "extra money" in the information actually referred to meritorious service.

"That'...... Can you tell me how to earn merit fast? How much merit does it take to have a better dormitory in the dormitory? ”

Arya was reluctant to make a final struggle.

"You didn't listen to what I was saying."

The staff sighed, "Well, if it's the fastest way for freshmen to earn merit, it should be a freshman competition in a month."

"The prizes for winning each competition in the "Triple Crown of the Academy" are very generous, and as long as you can win the competition, it will be easy to rent a better dormitory.

"Of course, if you win, at least the top three – because only the top three are rewarded. It's good for young people to have dreams, but I advise you not to be too ambitious......"

The staff said a lot more in the back, but Arya didn't listen again, she looked at Roy and said to him with an expression of seriousness that had never been seen before:

"Young Master, we must win the Freshman Competition!"

For our future!

She silently added in her heart.
