Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 39 Rising Stars of the Empire
"I'm not, I don't, Nana, don't talk nonsense." Rogge's set of negative triple strikes is a bit of a cover-up.
Rogge really misses Philia. Filia has a graceful posture and looks like a country, although she is usually a little cold, but she is heroic and powerful when she fights.
Filia doesn't look very old, but from the conversation with her, you can tell that she has been worrying about her family and even the empire for many years. Rog admires the beautiful and powerful Philia and hopes to meet her again, hoping that he can help her.
"Hmph, you said so, that's for sure! My brother is really a pervert! I was full and went upstairs first. With that, Orfina grabbed another chicken leg and walked quickly upstairs.
Rogge reacted, he originally asked Orfina if he knew about Filia, why was Orfina changed the topic to himself?
Rogge, who knew Orfina very well, thought for a moment, and then had eight points in his heart sure that Orfina was the one in the know.
School is about to start, and the number of students in Hawke Academy is increasing to the naked eye, and the training ground and library, which were sparsely staffed a few days ago, are almost full these days.
Rogge and the others did not leave the gate of the academy again, training as usual, and waiting for the start of school.
β¦β¦
July 1, 362 Hess calendar.
Today is the opening day of the academy, and Rogge and his friends go out early to prepare for the academy's opening ceremony at the training ground.
The students I met on the road were in twos and threes, and it seemed that it wasn't just Rogge who got up early.
Out of the dormitory, Rogge went straight to the training ground, but the students he had met before were all walking towards the gate.
There were also many students returning from the direction of the training ground, talking about something as they walked.
"Did you hear that, that Imperial Nova will be coming to the academy in a while!" A boy who walked up to him said.
"I've heard that, isn't this just to see her? It is said that Son Duruco is already waiting at the gate of the academy, tsk, Son Durucot is really... Another boy in the group said.
"What? Son Truucco is also there? Hurry up, hurry up, I want to see the handsome guy! A girl who caught up behind said.
Rogge and the others were not far from them, and they heard it clearly, and Orfina strongly asked to see the excitement. Anyway, it was still early, and everyone turned around and went to the gate of the academy.
Outside the gate of Holke Academy, there were already a lot of students gathered. Rogge looked around, estimating that there must be hundreds of people.
In the open space on the right outside the gate, there are several very conspicuous people. One of the most conspicuous was a young man, with well-groomed and shaped blond hair and a magnificent blue-black aristocratic outfit.
The blonde man sat at a table with a gold-trimmed parasol on top of his head, along with several other men dressed aristocracy, and they were talking in personable manners.
Judging from his appearance, this is a handsome aristocratic guy, and he is a very expensive nobleman.
"Is that blonde-haired Son Durucot? He's so handsome! One of the girls around Rogge said.
"Yes, it's really handsome, and it's very personable!"
"Yes, it's elegant! It would be nice to have a meal with him. β
"Yes, yes!"
A few girls were like nymphomaniacs who kept discussing, and they had to name their own and Trucco's children.
Rog looked at Orfina, who also wanted to know what Orfina looked like when she saw the handsome guy.
I saw that Orfina's eyes were also staring over there, but she was looking at the large plate on the table with all kinds of fruits, as well as all kinds of snacks that seemed delicious.
Rogge asked, "Nana, isn't that Duruko boy handsome?" β
Orfina replied, "He? He's not as handsome as the dim sum on the table. You say they put so many delicious things on the table, why don't they eat them? β
Rogge chuckled.
Orfina's big eyes suddenly thought of something, turned her head to Rogge and said, "Brother, that Duruco is so pretentious, he is definitely not a good person, he is not as handsome as you, my brother is the most handsome!" Also, the snacks on that table are really delicious. β
Under Orfina's blatant "hint", Rogge understood and said, "I'll do it for you when I go back." β
Orfina said happily: "Brother, I really think you are more handsome than Duruko, it's really not for snacks!" β
Rogge was also happy: "Okay, okay, I'll make everything for you on the table!" β
People waited at the gate for about a quarter of an hour, and a small black dot on the horizon gradually grew larger.
The visitor rode a white Pegasus, stopped in the sky outside the city, and flew straight after being inspected by the Pegasus patrol of Holke City.
The Imperial Nova turned over and dismounted, she was dressed in a red and white swordsman suit, her black hair like a waterfall and her crimson cloak fluttering in the wind, her posture was graceful, and her appearance was overwhelming.
The beauty of the visitor made the surrounding crowd suddenly quiet, and only the faint sound of breathing remained.
The new star of the empire is none other than Filia.
Rog has falcon-like eyesight, and was able to see that it was Filia when she was examined by the Pegasus patrol in the sky. He was pleasantly surprised, because he didn't expect Filia to go to school too.
Rog looked at Orfina excitedly and tried to talk to her, but found that Orfina was just happy, and there was no surprise on her face.
This was not normal, and with the relationship between Orfina and Filia, she would have been pleasantly surprised to the extent that she had been so surprised that she had been tugging on his arm and shaking it if she had suddenly found out that Filia was a student of Hawke Academy.
There was only one reason for just smiling happily like she was nowβshe had known that Felia would come back as a student, and she deliberately didn't tell him.
Rogge, a master who understands Orfina, deduces Orfina's "crime" based on just one performance, and decides to "punish" her by secretly doing less when making snacks.
"Go home." Filia stroked the white Pegasus' head and let go of the reins.
"Boom~~~" Pegasus hissed, turned around and sprinted for a distance, then flapped its wings and flew in the direction it had come.
At this time, the crowd came back to their senses, and gradually there was a voice.
"She... Is she the Rising Star of the Empire? That's beautiful, isn't it? A boy rubbed his eyes vigorously and said.
"yes, it's so beautiful, I really want to go up and talk to her." Another boy said.
"Me too." A girl in the back said.
The blonde nobleman Duruco got up and walked up to Filia, and very gracefully performed a standard aristocratic salute, and Filia returned the salute even more elegantly and standardly.
Durucco spoke, "Beautiful Miss Filia, may I ask... β
Filia did not listen to Duruco after saluting, walked directly past him, entered the academy without looking back, and headed straight for the training ground.
Duruco shook his head helplessly, turned around and followed Filia with a graceful smile.
When the surrounding students saw this scene, they followed behind the two and discussed: "Prince Duruco and this imperial rising star beauty are also too compatible, appearance, identity, strength, no matter which one is too compatible." β
"Yes, I heard that Prince Duruco also went to the Yanyang family to propose!"
"Is there such a thing? Did the Yanyang family agree? β
"I haven't heard of the yes, but it's sure to be sooner or later. Duruc is the son of the Grand Duke of Ranster, and this kind of status can succeed even if he forcibly puts pressure on the Yanyang family, after all, the Yanyang family is only a new marquis family. β
"That's not for sure, the new marquis is also a marquis, can he still be forced to marry?"
"It's also a good thing that they are engaged, the two families are united, and the empire should be more united. It's a pity that I haven't spoken to my goddess yet, she has a master. β
"Hahaha, just rely on you, cowardly and mediocre, so that the new star of the other empire will not take care of you. Didn't you see that Durucot's son didn't even talk? β
"Tut-tut, cold beauty, I love it even more."
Rogge also followed the crowd, and he listened to all the discussions and gossip around him, and learned a few pieces of information from it.
The first is the status of Durucco and Filia.
Durucco is the son of Duke Leinster, one of the three archdukes of the empire, and will inherit the dukedom as no surprise.
Filia is the daughter of Marquis Brandon, the patriarch of the Yanyang family, and the nickname of the Imperial Nova was given to her by Emperor Charles himself.
The second is that Duruco is interested in Filia, seems to have been pursuing her, and has personally gone to the Yanyang family to propose.
The third was deduced by Rogge himself, and Filia had no feelings for Duruc at all, and seemed to be more cold than a stranger.
Rogge and Philia have also spent some time together, and the kind of Filia he knows is the kind of person who keeps some distance from strangers, talks to people he doesn't hate, and is more intimate with those he likes.
Filia just stopped saluting Duruco and then ignored it, which was a feeling that she didn't like at all.
Knowing Filia's "little master" Rogge judged again, he looked at Durucot, who was still smiling gracefully behind Filia, and felt that Olfina's "contrived" just now was very aptly described.
β¦β¦
The lively students have returned to the training ground from the gate, and the opening ceremony is about to begin.
Anderson, the director of Hawke's house, took the stage and stood in front of the magic device with the amplification function, cleared his throat, and began his speech:
"Good morning, dear teachers and students. I'm Anderson, the dean of Hall House. β
"Today is July 1, 362 in the Hesse calendar, and we at Holker Academy have been established for 88 years."
"As the best war college, Holke Academy has cultivated a large number of talents for the empire in these 88 years. Whether it is a high-ranking general in the Imperial Army, a researcher in the Imperial Research Institute, or an excellent soldier fighting on the front line, or a light mage who treats the wounded in the rear, there are all students from our Holke Academy. β
"This is not an era of peace, the front-line war not far from us is becoming even more intense, and now you in the academy are the hope of the empire tomorrow."
"Holker Academy will provide you with a lot of knowledge and opportunities to help you become stronger, and you will face many difficulties and challenges. You must overcome difficulties, meet challenges, break through yourself, and grow as soon as possible. β
"Starting tomorrow, all the courses and activities of the college will be carried out as normal, and everyone should actively participate in improving themselves."
"Finally, please abide by the rules of the academy and strive to become the person you want to be!"
"Bang bang!" The students applauded enthusiastically.
