Chapter 4 Getting to the Academy
"Oh, Shad, it's okay, you can't be a swordsman, I'll protect you. Gaia also comforted kindly, the two have been together almost since birth, although they look at each other angrily, but they are also the best friends.
"Oh, no, no, no!" Mundra said three nos in a row, apparently not as they thought, and he pressed down his emotions to touch Shad's head and continued, "This ...... This kid is my ...... It's the most vindictive talent I've ever seen......! I can't even test his level of talent!"
One sentence shocked everyone, and looked at Xiao Shad with a surprised face, I couldn't believe that this little guy who was silent had achieved so much that even the strongest swordsman teacher in the town couldn't measure his fighting spirit level, didn't this mean that Xiao Shad would be able to surpass Mundra and become the strongest swordsman in the town in the future as long as he worked hard.
This is simply incredible, in the eyes of Jill and Mayor Mare, Gaia is already a genius among geniuses, and in their limited thinking, they have not considered that these children can surpass intermediate mages and intermediate swordsmen, however...... And yet little Shad did it!
"Although talent can't decide everything, but if you cultivate diligently, he will definitely surpass me!" Mundra was also surging in his heart, he actually witnessed the birth of a swordsman genius with his own eyes!
What he thought in his heart was completely different from what the strongest swordsman teacher in the town said in person, and Gil's red eyes spurted tears again, and he hugged Shad in his arms heavily, and stammered a little: "You guys...... You're all ...... It's all our village...... The pride of our village!"
"Uncle Jill, I will definitely cultivate hard and become a powerful swordsman, and then the village will not have to worry about the harassment of demonic beasts. Shad said firmly. This is actually his little wish, when he was a child, he always saw his father come back with an injury, and when the monster attacked, his father always had to stay around the village all the time, and the sensible Shad saw all this, and gradually formed such a simple desire for his father to share the benefits of the villagers.
"If only your father could have ......known," Uncle Jill was so excited that he almost said something he shouldn't have said, and hastily stopped.
"Nick Swordsman Academy will definitely admit Shad exceptionally! And Shad will probably make an excellent student. Ah, you know, the best students there will be intermediate swordsmen by the time they graduate. Mundra said with some emotion.
"Let's take the children to rest first, there is still half a month for Nickelodeon Academy to recruit students in the spring, and it will take about eleven days to get to Nickelodeon City from here, and it will be good to leave early tomorrow morning, and it will not be good to miss the time." Bruce said that after all these years, there were finally two geniuses in the town, especially the kid that even Mundra couldn't detect at the level of talent.
Thinking of this, Bruce suddenly felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't remember what it was, and he didn't understand it for a while, so he could only shake his head and sweep away this strange thought.
The mayor was in charge of arranging a place for the children to live, but the three children were so excited that they couldn't sleep for a while, so the little overlord Gaia and Shad quarreled again. However, this time Shad obviously had the confidence to return the favor without showing weakness.
"You cow, you know who's the boss, right?" Lying on the bed, Shad couldn't help laughing, wouldn't it be worth being happy to be able to become a more powerful swordsman, at this time he couldn't wait to tell his parents.
"Hmph, what's the use of having a good talent, it's still my subordinate. Gaia was not convinced, and said a very practical problem. Although Shad is a year older than Gaia, he is really no match for Gaia, the little overlord.
"Humph!" Shad was speechless, so he could only snort coldly, turn around, and close his eyes to sleep.
Seeing that his opponent was no longer arguing with him, Gaia couldn't make trouble alone, so he talked to Nelan and slept with his head covered. Excitement is excitement, now he is really tired, but yesterday he ran all night.
......
A new day has arrived, Gaia is not in the habit of sleeping lazy, got up early, and when she woke up, she found that Shad woke up earlier than herself, and her young heart had a contrast psychology and muttered a few words.
"Don't you have to say goodbye to the people in the village?" called out to Gaia and Shad at the same time when they heard that they were leaving immediately.
"No...... No...... The village chief said that he would go directly to Nick City, and if he was delayed, he would have to wait for the next year...... Gaia, the village chief asked me to tell you, you must learn something, or he won't let you go back to the village, Shad too, your father wants you to become a powerful swordsman and then go back to visit him......" Jill kept rolling his eyes as he spoke, as if he was deliberately hiding something.
Listening to Jill's words, although the two children were a little lost, being able to get in touch with the wider world outside was extremely tempting for children who were only eight or nine years old, so they did not insist on saying goodbye to their families.
There is nothing to prepare for the children in the countryside to go far away, but to bring a few clothes that they feel are passable, prepare some dry food for the road and be done.
Uncle Jill told Nelan to stay with the mayor for a month, and then took a letter of introduction from the magician and swordsman and the two children to Nick City.
The carriage seat was relatively spacious, and there were two other people besides Gaia's party, these two were a father and son, the father was probably about the same grade as Jill, and the son was not much older than Gaia.
"Hello, I'm Jill, are you going to Nick City too?" asked Jill in a friendly manner.
"Yes, send my son to Nick Academy, and Lord Bruce personally came to our town a while ago to identify my son's magical talent...... Oh, my name is Ral. The father replied.
"I lit up two magic balls!" the kid said with a smug expression, and he looked at Gaia and Shad as if to show off his accomplishments.
"It turns out that Lord Bruce went to identify your son that day, hehe, he happened to be passing by our village at that time, and he also unearthed a magician in our village, it was him, his name is Gaia. Jill pointed to little Gaia.
"I must have lit a magic orb, Master Bruce said that my son is the most gifted in magic in town. Ral said with some smugness.
"I've lit up two of them too, and I'm the one with the highest magical talent in town. "Gaia's momentum is on display again.
The father and son both showed surprised expressions, but they didn't expect that the child in front of them actually lit up two magic balls, and looked at them carefully, but they only felt that Gaia was a rustic wild boy, and he couldn't get along with the elegant and noble magician at all, so his eyes changed from surprise to doubt.
When Jill told them that Shad's vindictive talent surpassed Mondra's, the Lal father and son felt that the countrymen were pure nonsense. The father and son of Lal live in a small town on the edge of Domi Town, this town is more remote than Domi Town, and there are no authoritative magicians and swordsmen, so if there is a talented child in their town, they will ask Bruce and Mundra of Domi Town to identify, Mundra Swordsman's strength is recognized as the strongest in these towns, and now, the greasy country Orion actually said that the child's fighting talent surpassed Mundra, and they didn't see it with their own eyes, they wouldn't believe it anyway.
