The training ground of the Knight Academy.

Nolan and Evelyn took their seats in the spectator seats, and in the arena, Yuna was making final preparations for the upcoming battle.

In order to facilitate exercise, she had already changed into the uniform of the academy at this time.

"I didn't expect you to still have the uniform of the academy."

Ryan stood opposite her, looking at Yuna who was doing warm-up exercises, and there was some emotion on his face, "It's okay, this battle should be regarded as the academy's graduation exam for you." ”

Yuna stretched her muscles, then stood ten steps away from Ryan, raised the knight's sword in her hand slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Please advise." ”

"Hmm." Ryan also raised his sword, "Come on." ”

As the words fell, the figures of the two moved at the same time, charging straight towards each other.

The first round of the battle is a simple head-to-head duel!

"Bell—"

The next moment, the blades of the two collided with each other, and Yuna did not flinch to meet Ryan's attack, her focused and calm eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Nice looks. Ryan secretly admired in her heart, and for that alone she was better than most of the students in the academy.

The battle between knights and the competition of momentum is also an important part.

If you want to avoid the opponent because your strength is not as good as your opponent's, you will be firmly suppressed by the opponent from the beginning of the battle and fall into an even more disadvantageous situation.

This is a mistake that many young students tend to make, and they subconsciously think that they are weaker than the teachers and examiners of the college.

Therefore, instead of thinking about taking the initiative to defeat the opponent, more students are thinking about how to defend in order to last as long as possible in front of the examiner.

This may earn them a higher rating, but with this mentality, you will never be able to become a knight in your own right.

Blind defense will never end the battle, and it will miss the flaws exposed by the opponent's attack, and in the end it will be just a slow death.

Yuna, in contrast, did a good job, neither showing the expression of an ordinary student facing the examiner as if she were facing a great enemy, nor did her body stiffen due to nervousness.

She just stares at her opponent carefully and intently, and will not hesitate to attack whenever the opponent shows a flaw.

But come to think of it, even though Yuna is the same age as those young graduates, she has experienced a war and forged such an undefeated legend as "White Raven".

Even now, comparing her with her peers, isn't it a kind of arrogance?

Thinking of this, Ryan put away his usual attitude of instructing students in the academy, and his eyes became calm and deep.

He will take the girl in front of him seriously as a formidable opponent.

No sooner had the first sword's temptation ended, and without giving Yuna time to breathe, he launched another wave of attacks on her.

In an instant, the sound of swords clashing was endless, and Yuna blocked all of Ryan's attacks, and her breathing began to become rapid.

Although he took it seriously, Ryan didn't really use the coercion of the eighth-order knight to oppress Yuna, for a fifth-order knight who had not yet broken through, the coercion was an insoluble existence.

He just limited his strength to the sixth-order level, and the strength of the sixth-order knight could make Yuna feel pressured, but it would not make her unable to resist.

Having personally instructed several fifth-order knights to break through to the sixth order, Ryan is still quite experienced in controlling the intensity of training.

Although he was influenced by Yuna's seasoned fighting style, he also took it a little seriously, resulting in a higher intensity than usual in this test.

But I believe that with the strength of "White Crow", she will definitely be able to withstand this pressure.

Even if you can't break through today, as long as you persist in fighting at this intensity during this time, supplemented by cultivation pills to nourish your body, you can ......

"Whew-"

Ryan had just made such a guess in his heart, but he saw Yuna's figure dodge his vertical slash in a flash, and the knight's sword in his hand turned into a silver light and stabbed straight at his face.

“！” Ryan's face brushed against the flickering blade of his sword, and then he took two steps back, looking at Yuna with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Fangcai's attack didn't deliberately show flaws, but Yuna was able to dodge her own attack and launch a counterattack.

She can now keep up with the rhythm of the sixth-order knights?

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Yuna had lost both legs in battle, and that she was now relying on the prosthetic leg that Nolan had made for her to move.

But now that several rounds have passed, Yuna's fighting posture has not shown any sense of disobedience, so much so that he has almost forgotten the defects in Yuna's legs.

Has Nolan already upgraded those prosthetics to this extent?

Here, Yuna did not rush after missing the blow, but set up her sword blade and posed in a posture to meet the attack, examining Ryan's follow-up movements.

It's been a long time since she's fought such a hearty fight, and with the help of this modified prosthetic, she's been able to use her full strength without reservation.

No, not only that, but she also noticed something different about herself at this time.

In the past, she had fought head-to-head with Su Yi and Leod, and at that time, she could clearly feel the lack of her own strength when she fought with these sixth-order knights.

And now, the reason why she can keep up with the rhythm of the sixth-order knight's battle is not just because the prosthetic leg has been strengthened.

The more important reason is that after going through various trials in the past three months, his strength has indeed become stronger.

Her heart was beating violently, pumping the power and magic in her blood to every corner of her body, and Yuna's eyes were like torches, and she exhaled a deep breath of white air.

After the battle, she was already convinced that even if she didn't use the Liberation Elixir, she was now sure that she would be able to defeat the Sixth-Order Knight!

"It's really just one kick away......"

Looking at Yuna's rising momentum, Ryan curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

Everyone's feeling of breaking through the threshold is different, and some people can't grasp the feeling of breaking through by themselves, and they need to rely on heaven and earth treasures and masters to help break through.

And for some people, as long as they continue to cultivate for a period of time, a breakthrough will be a matter of course for them.

Ryan had heard Yuna say that she had been stuck at the threshold for a while and had never broken through, and thought she belonged to the former.

But now it seems that she should be the latter.

With the state she showed at this time, even without this battle, she would be able to break through smoothly in half a month.

Thinking about it, people who are really stuck in the fifth order and can't break through to become high-level knights are all counted in years, or even more than ten years.

Yuna has only been stuck for three months, can this really be considered a card level?

It's just a necessary precipitation before the breakthrough.

Of course, being able to treat the breakthrough as a sparse and natural thing like eating and drinking is enough to prove that Yuna's talent is indeed amazing.

Worthy of ...... The "White Raven" of Linfeng City!

In response to Yuna's rising momentum, Ryan let out a deep sigh and injected more powerful magic into the knight's sword in his hand.

The Knight's sword flickered even more, and he strode forward, slashing at Yuna with a "Rockfall Sword".

This is already the peak power of the sixth order, but in the face of this blow, Yuna has no intention of retreating, she holds the knight's sword with both hands and swings it out, and the combat technique she uses is also the "Rock Avalanche Sword"!

The Avalanche Sword is physically demanding, and Yuna used it on Leod when she was experimenting with liberation potions in the gladiatorial arena in the past.

At the time, she did it reluctantly, and then the prosthesis collapsed under the weight of the deformation.

And now, when she used this trick again, she had an unusually sure feeling in her heart.

I can do it. Even if the opponent is a sixth-order knight, I can defeat him!

Because now I ......!

"Bell—"

The two knight swords each slammed together with an indomitable momentum, and with the two of them as the center, a violent wave of qi spread out immediately.

With the strength of the sixth-order peak, Ryan firmly suppressed Yuna's sword with the sword in his hand, but that was all.

He can suppress, but he can't defeat it.

Yuna received Ryan's blow across the front of her sword, the ground beneath her feet dented by her trampling, but her legs were still strong and steady.

"Well done." Ryan looked relieved, and he unloaded his strength and leaped backwards.

Losing his suppression, Yuna straightened up, and the momentum she had just accumulated in the high-intensity battle exploded completely, crossing some invisible threshold in one fell swoop, and violently swept away.

"She succeeded." Evelyn, who was watching the battle, muttered, "Yuna has been promoted to a high-ranking knight. ”

"Hmm." Nolan nodded, "That's good." ”

"You couldn't be more surprised! Alas, this layman doesn't know how difficult it is to break through to the high rank, and he doesn't know the gold content of becoming a high-level knight at the age of seventeen! ”

"Why be surprised." Nolan smiled, "Hasn't she always been so good?" ”

"Yes." Evelyn laughed.

Speaking of which, April 16th is Yuna's birthday, and because it is not yet this year's birthday, it can be regarded as her sixteenth year old to complete her breakthrough.

"Such a great achievement, do you want to celebrate her when you go back?"

"You need to say it." Nolan snorted.

"Your graduation exam is a perfect score." In the practice arena, Ryan put his sword into its sheath and smiled at Yuna.

"Yuna, you're the best student I've ever met."

"Thank you for your guidance." Yuna bowed, "I won't forget the teacher's cultivation grace. ”

"I can't award you a graduation medal, but you don't need it now, do you?" Ryan walked up to her and said solemnly.

"From now on...... No, you've been a rider on your own since you chose to rise from your setbacks.

"I feel the weight of your blade, I once underestimated your determination, and thought you had become a slave raised by others, and I apologize for your gaffe at that time."

"No, ......" Ryan's identity, his sudden apology made Yuna stunned for a moment, and then said softly, "It's all in the past, you don't have to take it to heart." ”

"No, not just then."

Ryan shook his head, "Because of your special status, I have looked down on you intentionally or unintentionally, which really shouldn't be." As your teacher, I should have pointed you out of this predicament.

"But it's too late to say that to you. Yuna, I want to tell you that you're actually very good and very lucky. ”

He looked at the girl's blue eyes and said, "Even if you have an unhappy past, you still have a chance to choose happiness now."

"You have the right to pursue happiness, and you have the strength to defend it, and don't let the past shackle you and waste that precious opportunity...... I don't want you to regret it in the future. ”

Yuna was stunned for a moment and lowered her head: "Power, strength or something...... The teacher exalted me too much, I was just Nolan's maid. ”

"Is that okay?" Ryan said slowly, "You should know how good he is. If he hadn't taken the initiative, he would have been snatched away by other women in no time. ”

Yuna was silent, and then glared at him with some resentment: "These...... Is it what a teacher should say to a student? ”

"After all, I'm not just a teacher." Ryan laughed, speaking in a voice that only Yuna could hear.

"Noren is very important to Ringpin, and we have to find a way to keep him, and the most direct and effective way to do this is to get him married here.

"Frankly, I originally planned to match him with Evelyn, but then I changed my mind after learning his intentions, maybe you are the anchor that can fix his heart here.

"That's what you want to see, right? I don't think anyone wants to give up their sweetheart to someone else, especially ...... You're actually in love with each other. ”

The two love each other......

This sentence made Yuna's hand tremble slightly, and she immediately shook her head and said, "I'm just...... His maid, I won't trespass to change his mind.

"No matter where he goes or what he plans to do in the future, I will accept it and follow him all the time, this is my agreement with him, that's all."

"I see." Ryan nodded, didn't continue the conversation, and said instead.

"Speaking of Noren, I'm actually quite worried about him, he has the talent to change Peak City, or even the entire Roland Empire.

However, too strong talents can also invite the envy and panic of others, and may even destroy oneself in turn.

"Now we have gambled the fate of Peak City on him, in order to prevent the worst from happening...... Una.

"You are the closest person to him, if there is anything in case, please take care of him when the time comes."

Hearing this, Yuna's expression also became serious, and she said seriously: "I will." ”

"Hmm." Ryan bowed his head and looked at Evelyn and Nolan who came down from the spectator seats, "That's all for today."

"Finally, congratulations, Yuna, on becoming a high-ranking knight, your future achievements are limitless, and I look forward to the day when you shine again."

"Thank you, teacher." Yuna bowed.

After the four of them got together for a short greeting, Nolan said goodbye to Ryan and Evelyn, and got into the carriage with Yuna on the way home.

"Being promoted to a high-ranking knight on the first day of the new year is a good sign."

Nolan hummed a little tune, "Speaking of which, I haven't given you a New Year's gift yet, do you have anything you want?"

"Master, I'm very rich now, don't hesitate to open up to me as soon as possible!"

"No, it's not ......" Yuna subconsciously refused, but in her heart she remembered what Ryan had just said.

"Really?" Nolan turned his head to look at her, "It's rare that I'm interested, you really don't have anything you want?" Today only, whatever? ”

"That'...... Let's bask in the sun again tomorrow morning. Yuna thought for a moment and said, "I was disturbed by a guest this morning, and I always felt that I was not enough fun. ”

"Haha, you're really not pursuing." Nolan clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, let's be lazy tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Yuna curled the corners of her mouth and smiled quietly.

That's fine.

Desires, worries, and all these messes are left to it.

Such a peaceful day already made her very satisfied.
