Chapter 335: Why Don't I Go Up And Fight You?
Hearing the identity of Princess Aurelian, Hilda immediately put away a soothing smile.
His expression was solemn, and his body arched slightly, and he saluted Aurelian as a warrior.
The kingdom admires the strong, and the impression of the empire next door, the most known thing for the people of the kingdom is the invincible emperor of the empire.
And now, as the heir of that emperor, this princess is naturally equally respected by them.
Aurelian was slightly surprised by Hilda's sudden move, then nodded, calmed down, and said calmly:
"Hello."
Hilda resumed her posture, and then, solemnly towards the king, continued:
"Today is the day when the academy evaluates the strength of students, and most of the fifth and sixth grade students will gather in this martial arts arena today to score the battle."
Every half a month, Xingchen Academy will regularly conduct force assessments.
This is used to rank the intensity of their students.
Students are required to undergo assessments during the assessment period, and each assessment session lasts for three days.
At first, the first and second graders are the students, and after three days, the third and fourth grades are followed, and at the end, the strength of the fifth and sixth graders is measured.
The entire college strictly implements a six-year training system.
The king listened to Hilda's explanation, and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"So there's an assessment going on?"
"Looks like I've come at the right time."
The king looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Victor and Aurelian, and said,
"Everyone, do you want to go and observe the academy's assessment together?"
"Maybe we'll see some interesting students."
……
A black steel ring sits majestically in the center, and its spectacular walls are almost entirely made of marble and immaculate craftsmanship.
The surface of the marble was clasped by a thick layer of steel ring armor, and the barbs of steel like the teeth of a giant beast wrapped around the huge arena for a full circle.
The auditorium descends from the periphery of the arena until the last floor is completely flush with the ring.
Dust rose from the huge wide ring, and a large red word "mouth" was painted in the center of the solid marble floor.
The instructors who judged were already seated in the judging seats, in front of them a circular metal table, and thick transcripts were neatly arranged.
The audience was full of teenagers and girls in school uniforms, huddled together with each other, but their eyes were filled with incomparably hot light.
It seems that they all want to show their skills in this ring.
The students in the lower grades are even more scrambling to probe their brains, looking forward to the demeanor of their seniors.
The restless students fell silent without warning, and everyone held their breath for fear of making a slight noise and disturbing the two in the ring.
Two students in school uniforms were already standing in the middle of the ring, their swords swaying in the wind.
Among them, the male student was a sturdy man with a giant sword on his back.
But he seemed to be a little nervous, and his eyes swayed.
It seems that after meeting the girl in front of him, even the last bit of confidence in winning has been shattered.
The schoolgirl opposite him appeared calm, her eyes were firm, and her sword-holding arm was as steady as a rock.
His long gray-black hair fluttered, his breathing was even, and his posture was dignified, like a noble knight.
"The battle begins!"
With the instructor's command, the sound of long swords collided together, and the sound echoed throughout the ring.
After receiving the order, the two of them, like two cheetahs, began to move around the edge of the ring.
Soon, the male student charged, and he quickly approached his opponent in the ring.
Whew-
A phantom flashed, and the male student appeared in front of the female student in an instant, swinging his arms back, and the chest of his entire body was exposed.
The huge silver blade tore through the air, and the powerful air currents made the schoolgirls calmly perceive the crisis.
Her body pressed down quickly, dodging the entanglement of the air current, and her body slid back slightly, dodging the giant blade that had been slashed down.
The blade of the sword slammed into the ground of the ring, and a huge wave of qi suddenly set off.
Until the qi wave disappeared, but the person in front of him disappeared without a trace.
The male student panicked and desperately investigated the location of the female student.
Until a cold breath came from the back of his neck, he hurriedly turned back to resist and held the long sword horizontally in front of him.
But in the next second, the schoolgirl's attack suddenly changed its momentum.
The blade of the sword instantly turned around and provoked at the opponent's sword blade.
With a slight force, with a sense of ingenuity, the sword body shook upward.
Quickly fluff the schoolboy's huge long sword into the air.
Bell –
There was a sound, and the greatsword had already pierced into the edge of the ring.
The male student sat in the ring, unarmed.
His elbows propped up the ground in the ring, and he watched the opponent's sword blade against his face, motionless.
Until the schoolgirl put her sword into the sheath and left the ring gracefully.
The whole process even happened in just five seconds.
The instructors nodded to each other, picked up a brush and wrote down the score on the record:
"Joanna, one more point."
The students in the audience couldn't help but marvel at the battle in front of them.
The chatter echoed through the crowd.
"The first in this evaluation, I'm afraid it's Joanna again, right?"
"She's only in the fifth grade, and even the sixth graders aren't her opponents."
"It's Instructor Hilda's own sister...... The talent is too strong. ”
The students in the audience were talking, and although it was noisy, everyone's voice was very weak.
The reason is simple.
At the front of the auditorium, a group of noble lords were seated.
Most of them crossed their arms and watched the battle with a joking gesture.
But it's true.
In the eyes of these noble lords, the battles of these students were petty at best.
However, just the appearance of these noble lords was not enough to make them so quiet.
What shocked them the most was the figure sitting in the middle, wearing a crown.
There, sits the king of the present-day Kingdom of Kanter, August.
At this point, August smiled and looked left and right.
Sitting on either side of him were Aurelian and Victor.
But Aurelian, who was sitting on the right, looked obviously a little dissatisfied.
What the?
Obviously, she really wanted to sit with Mr. Victor, but the king didn't have any eyesight.
At this moment, the king's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness, how do you feel?"
He turned his head, smiling softly, to Aurelian.
Aurelian quickly put away her dissatisfaction, exerted her royal etiquette, and replied politely in a calm manner:
"It was a really good game and you could see that Joanna spent a lot of time training."
"And there must be a very good coach who teaches her all the time."
As the words fell, she glanced at the female instructor sitting beside her.
Hilda was deeply moved, her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but smile pleasantly:
"Thank you very much for the compliment."
She took a deep breath, tried to calm her mind, and continued:
"In Star Academy, we will conduct a battle assessment every half a month to screen out powerful students in a point system."
"The winner of each assessment will receive one point."
These points are very important.
Once you have accumulated enough, you can redeem it for the title star that represents the highest honor in the Academy.
Thus becoming a newly promoted baron.
Aurelian listened attentively.
After all, this is a diplomatic visit.
Places like the kingdom where you can learn are naturally listened to.
At this time, King Auguste relieved his mood a little, and said with a light heart:
"Actually, Princess Aurelian can also do swordsmanship, Hilda, you didn't expect it."
When Hilda heard this, her eyes lit up, and her brows rose slightly.
Looking at Aurelian, I was amazed.
However, Aurelian only smiled indifferently:
"Actually, I'm still majoring in magic, and swordsmanship is just a minor."
Hearing this, Hilda couldn't help but reveal her heart:
"I really want to see the swordsmanship of His Highness Aurelian......"
Suddenly, the surrounding aristocratic ministers all stopped talking, and the foreign ministers also looked at Hilda in confusion.
The chaotic whispers came to an abrupt end.
Archduke Barlow, who was on the edge of the audience, also opened his closed eyes slightly.
A calm and majestic aura flowed naturally from his eyes.
And the corners of Victor's mouth were slightly hooked into a smile.
At this time, on top of the ring, two new students walked into the ring.
The instructor below continued to announce the beginning, and the voice was incomparably clear throughout the arena.
The two students were almost equal in strength, and they drew their swords and fought quickly.
This time, they all used twelve points of strength.
Perhaps it was because of the presence of the king and a group of nobles in the audience, which made them have to work harder.
Even if you can't get a star star to become a noble, if you are favored by these noble lords and mixed with a guard, the future will be also prosperous.
But apparently, the kings and nobles on the stage were not interested in watching them at all.
It wasn't until August glanced at Hilda that the female instructor realized that she had just said something she shouldn't have said.
"Hug ...... I'm sorry, Your Highness Princess, but I'm just talking about it, please don't care. ”
The king smiled and spoke softly.
"Hilda is a swordsmanship obsessive, but it's just a matter of interest, and Her Royal Highness doesn't need to care."
"It's okay."
Aurelian smiled, but not as bright as she used to be, but squinted and looked a little elusive.
Just when the surrounding noble lords all breathed a sigh of relief.
Aurelian stood up abruptly and pointed to the empty ring in front of her. Looking down at Hilda, she said:
"Excuse me, can I step forward and cut in line?"
