When Koya was six years old, one day his father took him to watch the royal ceremony. Pointing to a handsome and extraordinarily handsome blonde man in the ceremony, he said to little Keya: "Keya, do you see it? That's Barker, General Salmondo, he is the pride of the Empire!

Xiao Keya, who was six years old at the time, didn't know what the strongest man was, but he saw that his father's eyes, which never showed his expression easily, revealed incomparable reverence!

Keya admired his father since he was a child, because his father was a brave man! In his little heart, he thought that the person who could make his father revere must be worthy of his own worship!

Three years later, Koya's father followed Buck and General Salmondo on an expedition to resist the invasion of neighboring countries, but unfortunately died on the battlefield! However, this Great Patriotic War was won by General Barker's excellent command! When the Emperor's [***] team returned victoriously, the people of Yanjing went to warmly welcome them, and praised these soldiers who threw their heads and shed their blood for the country and the people with flowers and applause. Congratulations to them on living up to expectations and returning to the DPRK in victory.

It was an unprecedented day, and General Buck rode at the head of the procession, a golden-armored white horse, and a majestic god! On that day, Emperor Pierre VI personally welcomed out of the palace and welcomed his warriors back in triumph!

That day, little Keya and her mother stood at the window of their attic and witnessed this grand scene. Mother Susanya burst into tears, but stroked Koya's head and said, "Koya, your father was a true warrior, and he died on the battlefield. He sacrificed his precious life to protect the country and protect us! Koya, you can't cry! You are a man! You should be proud of your father!"

Koya wiped away his tears and looked firmly at General Buck, who had just passed. He didn't speak, but in his little heart, he was determined to be a man as brave as his father!

This year, Keya was nine years old!

After another three years, Keya finally understood what it meant to be the strongest man. On that day, two legendary flame dragons flew over Yanjing Skanya City, and launched a frenzied attack on the home of the city's great nobleman, Banton. The mansion of Banton was burned to the ground by the flames that erupted from the dragon's mouth, and several nearby streets were affected by the pond fish.

Most of the people in the city had never seen this legendary ferocious beast, and they were so frightened that they fled in all directions, for fear that they would be attacked by the flame dragon. A small group of Yanjing city guards quickly arrived at the scene and sniped the dragon with a strong bow. But as soon as the feathered arrow was shot, a female dragon turned its head in the air and aimed its mouth at the city defenders on the ground, and there was a flame spray. The dragon flame was not trivial, in just an instant, the feather arrows shot and the team of city defenders were suddenly vaporized in the flames and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Keya was being led by his sister Louise and running home, and Keya looked back at the two ferocious dragons while running. They swirled and fluttered in the air, roaring from time to time, but Keya suddenly saw a golden-armored figure fly up in the city, and swooped down like lightning on the two flaming dragons who were doing evil.

Not only Koya saw it, but countless ordinary people in the city also saw this rare battle of human dragons! That golden armor, everyone knew that person was the great general of the empire, the golden armor swordsman Buck, and Salmondo.

Koya broke free of his sister's hand and stood in the street, witnessing General Buck slash off the massive dragon head of a male flame dragon with a single sword, then grabbed the she-dragon's right wing and punched it in the stomach. The female flame dragon could no longer breathe fire from its mouth, but instead sprayed dragon blood, and fell straight into the air with the male dragon, killing at the same time!

It was only then that Keya truly understood that a person's strength could be so strong! He admired General Buck even more in his heart, and vowed to become not only a brave man like his father in this life, but also a man as strong as General Buck!

A brave and powerful man!

But fate seems to be playing a joke on little Keya, although Keya is ambitious. But when Keya's mother was pregnant with little Keya, she accidentally had fetal gas and gave birth to him more than a month early. Since birth, Xiao Keya has been skinny and sickly. Of the 365 days a year, he spent more than 100 days lying on a hospital bed. With such a weak body, how easy is it to become a strong person?

Time flies, and when Ke Ya was fifteen years old, after his mother's long-term care, Ke Ya's health improved, and he didn't fall ill at every turn. This year, he proposed to his mother that he wanted to cultivate martial arts and become a swordsman!

Coya's full name was Coya, Françoise, and his ancestors were once honored as low-ranking nobles by the Empire. However, the times have changed, and the family road has long since declined. His father, Carlo Françoise, was a junior officer in the Yanjing Municipal Defense Army. The world in which Koya lives is called the continent of Sariado. The country where Koya is located is a medium-sized empire at the southern tip of the continent of Saariado, the Ponsin Empire. Two hundred and seven years after its founding, the Ponsin Empire is one of the few countries on the continent that worships the holy goddess Afrentina.

Coya had an older sister, Louise and Françoise, who were three years older than Coia, and the two siblings lived with their mother, Susania. Although the Françoise family had the title of inferior nobility, they actually lived a commoner life. Mother Susanya is ingenious, and usually helps the neighborhood to sew some clothes and quilts to supplement the family. Her sister, Louise, works as a clerk in a fruit shop in the city, earning three silver coins a month.

Keya proposed to cultivate martial arts, which made her mother Susanya very difficult. Because in the Empire, if a person wants to get ahead, there are only two ways to go. One is to cultivate martial arts to become a swordsman, and after learning, you can serve the country. The other is to practice magic, and after becoming a magician, you can use it for the Church of the Holy Goddess.

But it is impossible for ordinary commoners to become a swordsman or a magician, because it is the preserve of the rich and nobles. Children of commoners can only go to ordinary academies to learn literacy and life skills, and only children of wealthy families or descendants of nobles can enter the Royal Academy of Magic and Martial Arts to practice swordsmanship and magic.

Xiao Keya has a noble title, but the Empire's worst Demon Martial Arts Academy costs at least ten gold coins a year. This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for the Françoise family, whose annual income will not exceed one gold coin.

But for the sake of her son's ideals, Susanya still agreed. But not now!, she told Keya very frankly that after her father died in battle, the empire had given her a pension of three gold coins. Originally, this money was reserved for you to marry a wife when you grow up, but since you aspire to become a swordsman, then the mother must give her full support. She promised to scrape together enough money for Keya to attend the High Academy of Demonic Martial Arts by the time she was eighteen years old.

Koya is a sensible child, and he did not embarrass his mother. So that year, he entered the general secondary college to study, and the tuition fee for one year was only five silver coins. But Koya's ambition to become a swordsman and a strong man has never changed. He studied very hard and got excellent grades. In the evenings, he would go to a dyeing shop to change colors and save money for his tuition.

Keya's mother and sister are working day and night in order for Keya to realize her dreams. Not only did Susanya take on more needlework, but she also went into the rich family to work as a maid, helping with laundry and mopping the floor. Louise not only works in a fruit shop during the day, but also works as a waitress in a tavern at night. Every day, I have to work until the early hours of the morning before I come home tired.

Seeing the relatives working hard for themselves, Ke Ya was very moved in his heart. He secretly swore that no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely get ahead! he would definitely repay his mother and sister! and when he became a swordsman, he would let them live a happy and comfortable life!

Spring turns to autumn, flowers bloom and fall, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed! Keya is already an eighteen-year-old boy who is about to graduate from a secondary school.

After school that day, Keya hurriedly packed his things and prepared to go home early. In the evening, he also went to work in the dyeing workshop. At this time, his teacher, Mr. Sona, stopped him: "Keya, don't go yet. Let's talk, shall we?"

Koya looked at the old Mr. Sona, wondering what he was looking for. Puzzled, he only nodded and said, "Yes sir!"

When he arrived at Mr. Sona's room, Mr. Sona invited Koya to sit down, and he sat down in front of Koya, and looked at him lovingly. Keya waited for a while, and when he saw that the teacher didn't speak, he said, "Sir, do you have anything to say when you look for me?"

Mr. Sona coughed lightly and said slowly, "Yes, Koya, you are the best student I have ever met in my forty years of teaching. I'm relieved and happy. I'm getting old and I'm going to retire home this year. But our small secondary college couldn't recruit a teacher who could replace me. Keya, I know that your family is not very good, why don't you wait until you graduate, and I recommend you to the dean to stay in the school and teach and replace me?"

Keya was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, you ...... this year Are you about to retire?"

Sona stroked his gray beard and sighed: "Yes! People can't accept old age! Keya, I'm over 60 years old, and I've been old and sick in recent years, so I'm afraid I won't be able to persevere." In the Empire, there is no way for civilians to go to the High Demon Martial Academy. After graduating, you students can only get your skills certificates to find jobs and live an ordinary life. A person as good as you can only support his family. So, instead of that, it's better to stay and be a teacher. Of course, as a young teacher, the salary is not very high, I think it is about five silver coins per month. But you should know that teaching is a noble profession and is very respected. You are my proudest student, and I very much hope that you will inherit my honor and educate more and better students. How? Think about it?"

Keya's heart suddenly warmed, and he knew that the salary of five silver coins was already very high for a civilian. He also knew that Mr. Sona's body was not as bad as he said. The reason why he wants to abdicate to himself is that he admires himself very much, and he doesn't want to see him have to work hard to find a lowly job after graduation. This deep affection really moved Keya very much.

But Keya was not here! He said to Mr. Sona sincerely: "Sir, really, I really thank you very much for your kindness! Keya knows that you have good intentions! But I'm really sorry, I can't promise you. Because I am not willing to live this life so plainly, sir, my ambition is to become a swordsman, and I want to enter the Higher Demon Martial Arts Academy to study. Mr. Kindness, Keya can only appreciate it, thank you!"

Mr. Sona was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Do you want to enter the Higher Demon Martial Arts Academy to practice swordsmanship? But only nobles or wealthy families can enter? The tuition fee of the Empire's worst Higher Demon Martial Arts Academy costs at least ten gold coins a year, and if you don't have a noble title, you need a hundred gold coins." That's a lot of money! Keya, a commoner can't afford to save this tuition fee for a lifetime? Besides, even if you have money, you have never received swordsmanship instruction, and after entering the Higher Demon Martial Arts Academy, where can you keep up with the progress of your cultivation? Your classmates are all from the Middle Demon Martial Arts Academy, and all of them have a solid foundation, and their swordsmanship is all in good shape. You are a novice, how can you get mixed up in an academy where there are so many strong people?"

Keya smiled slightly, and said, "Sir, it's up to people! My ancestor used to be an inferior nobleman, and over the years, our family has been working hard for this tuition. If I had withdrawn like this, wouldn't the hard work of our family all these years be in vain? So, sir, I will definitely persevere to the end! I believe that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart. As long as I don't give up, there will definitely be a day when I realize my dreams!"

"Really?" Mr. Sona sighed, "If you really want to do that, then I don't have much more to say." Koya, I know you're a resilient child. I believe that you will have a successful day, although I am very sorry that you did not accept my advice, but the teacher still wants to bless you. May your wishes come true, Koya!"

Koya stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Sona to express his gratitude and respect!

When I came out of the academy, it was already dusk. As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw three people standing proudly not far from the door. Two men and one woman, both about the same age as Keya, are wearing a school uniform. The school uniform Keya recognized as the school uniform of the Royal Medium Demon Martial Arts Academy of Binpulus, which was not far from here.

The Royal Middle Magic Academy of Bimplus is the best middle magic academy in the Empire, and only the children of the great nobles or especially wealthy families are eligible to enter the academy. The girl among the three people was very conspicuous, with fiery red curly hair, a hot figure, and a charming surname. I don't know if the school uniform was deliberately changed by her to be smaller, and the two behemoths on her chest were so tight that they seemed to be about to tear out at any time.

Such a hot red-haired girl, just in her youth, the strong-blooded Ke Ya couldn't help but look at her twice. It's just two eyes, and after the people who practice in the Demon Martial Arts Academy are all powerful people in the empire, Ke Ya doesn't want to cause more trouble.

So he bowed his head and tried to hurry past them.

As soon as I walked out a few steps, I suddenly heard a female voice shouting unceremoniously: "Hey, stop me!"
