The training ground of the Elven Academy gathered many young elves, and these elves were all freshmen who entered the academy this year.

Everyone was full of curiosity about the elementary martial arts training class.

Heard instructor Abbott. Nora shouted, and everyone gathered around.

The elves in the training ground were clearly divided into two teams.

Wai in Abbott. Instructor Nora's side, the team is shaped like the upper and lower lips.

They are completely separated from each other, with aisles at each end that can only accommodate one person.

The large group was made up of the Silver Moon Elves, and these young people of the Silver Moon Elves gathered together, and some young noble students stood at the top of the group.

The other group is made up of half-blood elves, and the number of half-blood elves living in the lower city of Castleton is increasing year by year, and the young half-blood elves will also plan to save money to complete their studies at the elf academy after finding a job.

Roy stands in the group of half-blood elves.

However, because he still wanted to talk to Claire more, the two stood in the gap between the two groups.

Claire was on the side of the Silver Moon Elves, and Roy was on the side of the Half-Blood Elves.

There are still many new students like the two of them, and some of the Silver Moon Elves don't care about the bloodline inheritance, and they have also made some friends with the half-blood elves......

"This Nora instructor is the best instructor in the academy to teach junior martial arts, and there should be a physical fitness test later."

Claire muttered to Roy.

There was some noise around, and everyone had not yet calmed down from the excitement of enrolling.

Abbott. Instructor Nora was a Silver Moon Elf woman, with silver hair just down to her shoulders.

She stood patiently in the middle of the empty space, waiting for the voices around her to begin to weaken before she began to speak:

"Since no one is ready to quit, let me see how your fitness, flexibility, and balance are! You will need to take a pre-admission physical fitness test, and I hope everyone in the room agrees with my standards. ”

She held the hilt of the sword at her waist with one hand, and the thumb of the other hand rested on the quiver, looking heroic.

"How did you know she was going to give us a fitness test?" Roy whispered to Claire.

Claire said very casually:

"Listening to my sister, she was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass the test, so she asked me to do some training a year early......"

“……”

Roy was a little speechless.

In this year, he spent almost all of his time breaking dreams and fishing.

"Do you know what the test is?" Roy asked.

Claire raised her pale blonde eyebrows and said proudly:

"Of course, it's an obstacle course, and you need to pass through various obstacle structures in the grassland over there within a certain time limit."

With that, he pointed to the other side of the training ground.

Roy looked in the direction of his finger, and through the crowd, he saw a row of obstacles on the west side of the site, including puddles, stone walls, mounds of earth, etc., and the grass was obviously trampled by countless people.

Abbott. Instructor Nora walked ahead.

Two groups were on her left and right, following her towards that direction.

Roy was a little nervous, he didn't have any preparation before class.

This obstacle includes a single-plank bridge over a puddle, a stone wall built on a pile of rubble, and a stretch into the woods, which seems difficult.

Roy even saw a stone cliff several meters high in the woods......

The road extends from the other side of the forest, connecting a longitudinal and narrow wall to the starting point.

Abbott. Instructor Nora stood in front and talked about the rules.

Roy was going to squeeze to the front to listen.

At this time, several Silver Moon Elves suddenly crowded over from the crowd, and several people surrounded Claire and Roy.

There were quite a few small groups in this group of elven students, and Roy didn't see any conflict between these small groups, so he didn't expect to be in trouble.

Two elves in light leather armor walked up to Claire and stared at Claire playfully.

Not to be outdone, Claire glared back.

"Claire, it's a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be in the martial arts class."

One of them, dressed in light armor and with a delicate dagger at his waist, greeted Claire with a strong smell of gunpowder.

He reached out and patted Claire's shoulder, leaned into Claire's ear, and said jokingly: "When we are grouped, we must not rush to team up with others, we have such a good relationship, so naturally we have to take care of each other." ”

Claire pushed his hand away and responded coldly, "Steve, don't you care, we don't have any friendship." ”

The elf named Steve raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What a chilling thing you say, if it weren't for your sister, I wouldn't be standing here today......"

His gaze swept over Roy's face, and the corners of his mouth wore a mocking smile: "Who is this?" ”

"Roy."

Roy replied.

He didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on his first day of school.

He just wanted to study quietly in the academy and was not prepared to cause trouble......

But now that he has become friends with Claire, if he retreats at this time, he may be a 'coward' in the eyes of others in the future.

He didn't want to just enter the Elven Academy and have such a bad reputation as having no friends.

Although he had a big head, Roy still chose to stand firmly by Claire's side.

The two of them looked coldly at the Silver Moon Elves on the opposite side......

Claire gave Roy a grateful look.

Although Roy didn't know what the campus atmosphere of the Elven Academy was like, he felt that this group of elves would not be able to blatantly cause trouble in class.

Sure enough, the two sides were only at a stalemate for a few seconds, and they had already attracted the attention of the surrounding elves.

The young elf, named Steve, just sneered and said, "Claire, have your tastes changed?" Love making friends with half-elves? ”

"Keep your mouth clean." Claire scolded in a low voice.

"Everyone, the test has begun, everyone prepares, please don't gather in the back, ...... students in the back"

Across the crowd, Abbott. Instructor Nora's voice was heard.

The elves gathered here scattered with a bang.

Without the barrier of the crowd, you don't dare to be in Abbot. Instructor Nora confronted each other.

Steve turned around, glanced back at Claire, and walked out of the crowd with a smile on his face.

Roy felt that it was him who looked back at Steve just now, thinking of Claire's various performances when she started school, and the students who began to pay attention to the elementary martial arts workshop on the first day of the report, obviously should have expected today's conflict......

"Sorry to get you involved."

Claire said with a sneering expression.

What else could Roy say, and he couldn't just say, 'Let's break it up!' ’

He could only pat Claire on the shoulder and say to him:

"No matter what, I'll be on your side."

Claire was a little moved and said to Roy:

"That guy is Steve, he's not a freshman this year, he's been deliberately failing to pass the exam of the elementary martial arts training class, just to run to block me."

Roy asked him, "Why did he block you?" ”

Claire smiled heartlessly:

"It's a family feud, when my sister was in class at the academy, she was also like this to block their family, this Steve was beaten by my sister for half a month last year, and he would be beaten like a pig's head every time he went to class."

“…… So this year, people are coming to the door and ready to deal with you? Roy was speechless.

Claire also knocked her forehead a little depressed, and said distressedly:

"I didn't expect my sister to participate in some exchange activities of the Elf Academy at such a time......"

Roy glanced at him and unceremoniously debunked him:

"Even if she doesn't participate in the exchange activities, she won't choose to take another class in the elementary martial arts class."

Claire sneered, "That's just as well. ”

"So no matter what, you're the unlucky guy waiting to be beaten." Roy concluded.

Claire laughs even better:

"I can't say that, the people who usually practice in class are usually fixed, so I chose you."

“……”

In the face of Claire's such a blunt explanation, Roy was simply speechless.

"What do you think will happen to you if I don't pass this test?"

Claire shook violently, hugged Roy's shoulders, and said pleadingly, "We're friends, aren't we?" ”

Roy nodded......

"Haven't you ever done this test?" Claire asked suddenly.

Roy nodded without thinking.

"Then you will follow me later, this kind of test is usually run in pairs at the same time, pay attention to learn my movements, this thing has certain skills, even the number of steps is fixed when you climb the wall, and pay attention to speed and rhythm." Claire explained to Roy as she walked.

"Okay."

The two of them walked to the front, and already the elves began to run.

Sure enough, as Claire said, a group of two people tested at the same time.

There are Silver Moon Elves and half-blood Elves, with Roy and Claire in line.

There were almost 200 students in this workshop, and it was destined to take some time if all of them finished.

Finally, it was Roy and Claire's turn.

The two stood in front of the starting line, and Claire looked like she was familiar with the road.

Roy looked much more nervous, and even his palms were sweating.

"Ready, go!"

It's not Abbott who calls the shots. Instructor Nora.

In order to observe the specific performance of the students, the instructor stood on a high platform in the middle of the track.

Roy followed Claire's footsteps and began with a broken jog.

The speed of the two men was not fast, and the first obstacle was a puddle with two logs on it as a bridge, and if you wanted to pass the puddle smoothly, you had to pass through the bridge.

The log is thin and long, and it is clearly a test of balance when running.

Claire barely slowed down before rushing onto the log, his hands stretched out and his steps light.

It seems very simple, it is clear that Claire can pass the log on the puddle in a few steps with her hands outstretched, but when she reaches Roy, she runs dangerously......

When he climbed over the first plank wall, Roy ran too hard, and his first foot was a little too high on the plank, causing his second foot to be a little unable to keep up with the plank wall.

The body bounced out, but fortunately, Roy grabbed the edge of the wooden wall with his hand and flipped over dangerously.

Obviously, as long as you grasp the edge of the wall with both hands and move up forcefully, you can straddle the wall.

But when it comes to Roy, it's very clumsy......

The back walls were taller than the other, and they had changed from wooden to stone, and if Claire hadn't turned around and pulled him up, he would probably have stopped in front of the second stone wall.

"Adjust the rhythm of your breathing......"

Claire followed him, whispering reminders.

"Don't care about running speed, that's not the main deduction."

"Remember, you have to step on the wall at least twice to get to the top edge of the wall."

"I'll look at the middle and grab the most worn wall, there will always be a place where it's easy to borrow......"

When the first stone wall was passed, it took some effort to get through.

The second wall, Roy, was almost stopped here, but thanks to Claire, he was helped.

When he encountered the highest stone wall, Roy rushed through it all at once, and his movements became much smoother......

Roy feels like he's the best at running and usually goes for a morning jog on the beach.

He rarely sees elves running, and in order to maintain elegance and calmness, the elves usually walk with graceful steps, even when they encounter urgent matters, they also walk around quickly.

But now, seeing those elves quickly climb over the wooden wall, Roy felt a sense of frustration in his heart.

Finally stumbling and running, Roy and Claire were standing at the same time in Abbott. In front of Instructor Nora.

The elf held a parchment booklet in her hand and found Claire's name on the list, writing the word 'pass' after the name.

When she saw Roy, she gave Roy a deep look:

"The speed is okay, but your body is not flexible enough."

This is the first assessment she gave Roy.

Roy nodded a little weakly.

Abbott. Instructor Nora continued:

"Your body is also much less flexible, and your joints are very stiff, so you will encounter more difficulties than others when learning elementary martial arts......

"You have the worst coordination of your body."

"So you have to improve your body's abilities as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to do the later exercises at all, let alone whether you will pass the final test."

"Think about it, or do some basic exercises this year, and you can choose to come back a year later."

Roy hesitated a little before he turned to Abbott. Instructor Nora said:

"Teacher, what can I do to catch up with my physique?"

Abbott. Instructor Nora told Roy, "Intensify your daily workouts, including gymnastics to improve flexibility, and do some balance-enhancing exercises while running......

"I'll get my fitness up as soon as possible, I want to go to class!"

Roy said with some stubbornness.

He didn't want to just give up the opportunity to learn elementary martial arts.

Abbott. Nora frowned, looked down seriously and thought for a while, and finally agreed to Roy's request, saying:

"That's fine, but you have to remember that I won't give you any preferential treatment during the final test."

Claire stood aside and heard Abbott. Nora's instructor immediately pulled Roy and ran out.

"I thought you'd give up." Claire let out a long breath and said.

"What's there to give up, it's not the same next year to sign up."

Roy said casually.

After saying that, he saw that Steve had also completed the physical test, and it seemed that he should have passed it successfully.

He looked at this side with a strange smile......
