Under the night, on the outskirts of Luoshuang City, the cold wind howled like an inexplicable whisper.

As soon as Clement, who was covered in scars, returned to the dormitory, he heard the complaints from his roommates.

"Can you please be more upbeat? Coming back at this hour will disturb people's rest."

Sleeping on the left side of the room is a blond boy named Nilf Selden, who comes from the family of a marquis in the empire. He was sent here for training as a pride, and his results have always been among the top five.

Usually the relationship between him and Clement was not very good, but rather harmonious, but recently his roommate didn't come back until after midnight every day, which was really disturbing his dreams.

The training during the day is hard enough for them. Naturally, they don't have the habit of staying up late when they return at night. They usually fall asleep before ten o'clock and get up before six o'clock the next morning to ensure that they are full of energy for the new day of training.

Who can bear to be woken up in the middle of the night once a day, especially those of them who have been trained to be more vigilant. When they hear the creaking of the door, they wake up directly from their dreams.

"Sorry, I will pay attention tomorrow..."

Clement said apologetically, he also knew that it was not good for him to do this.

Not only Nilf, but also other classmates also have some opinions on themselves, because this dormitory is connected, two people live in one room, girls live in one room, boys live in the same room with boys, he

When the time comes, sometimes Neil is not the only one who wakes up.

"Oh, forget it, Clement, go to sleep quickly. You are injured again. Master Yideng is really too harsh on you."

Nilf turned over while complaining, feeling sleepy again and not ready to talk any more.

"Sorry, I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

Clement whispered, walking to the bathroom at the back of the room.

He slapped the cold sleep on his face to clear his somewhat hazy mind, lit the candle in the bathroom, and looked at his face in the mirror.

It was a rather delicate face of a young man, but now it had prominent bruises, which were left behind when Master Yideng taught him a lesson at night.

Clement's hands were grasped on both sides of the bathroom counter, and his knuckles were turning white from the force.

After Master Yideng talked to him two days ago, he originally wanted to be patient a little longer, but Master Yideng's harshness towards him did not lessen after that, and instead became more demanding.

It was obvious that he had been working hard and his results in training were not last, but he still received additional training.

He rolled up his sleeves and washed the swollen area with cold water, asking ten thousand reasons in his heart.

The classmates also thought that he always did wrong things, but was he really that unbearable?

His family has forgotten him, his sister did not reminisce with him even if he passed by, his classmates laughed at him, and Master Yideng severely punished him...

Clement looked up at the face in the mirror. The expression was extremely ugly. It was really ugly.

In a daze, he seemed to hear that gentle voice.

No one loves themselves, so you have to...love yourself.

After that conversation, Clement sobered up and realized that his exit statement was ridiculous.

This is a secret location of the church. The children who are sent here either successfully survive and become elite night watchmen, sign a confidentiality agreement and leave here to work in various parts of the empire, or they commit suicide when their trainers cannot bear it anymore.

There is no option to quit and return home, because the secrets of the church are more important than anything else. The Church of Morning Embrace cannot let a mortal who knows the location of the guardian inheritance return to normal society, because the mortal's self-protection ability is too weak, which means that the secret is not safe

.

Clement suddenly discovered that this place was not an elite training academy that people yearned for, but a prison. Master Yideng was the strongest jailer, and no one could exit early and escape his control.

At least, that's how he felt about himself.

As the manager here, Master Yideng knew his identity, so he trained himself redoubled.

"How about...kill him?"

Something seemed to be whispering in the darkness, and Clement was startled and looked around.

He has learned about the night side. Was that an illusion just now, or was there something real!?

Clement washed up, patted his face, shook his head violently, and shook off those bad thoughts. He told himself to persist, one year, and as long as he persisted for one more year, he could become a night watchman.

.

When the time comes, he will no longer rely on the family that abandoned him, but will rely on his own efforts to regain a foothold in the empire.

When I returned to bed, it was already late at night, and it was so quiet that something seemed to come out of the darkness.

Clement was lying on the bed, unable to sleep, and he thought about the dreams he had had in the past few nights.

In my dream, there was a woman who was so beautiful and gentle, soothing my soul.

But he felt that the content in the dream was dangerous, and always felt that it was eroding his spirit.

Clement originally wanted to tell Master Yideng, but after thinking about it, Master Yideng was a special night watchman. There was nothing weird that could make a monster under his nose. It was probably because he was too tired.

If I tell Master Yideng recklessly, I may get another scolding, and I don’t know how terrible additional training I will receive.

When he thought about it, he didn't dare to say it, but he didn't dare to fall asleep for fear that he would have that dream again.

Even though he felt so comfortable in the dream, he felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance. He was not the kind of person who loves lust, so how could he have such dreams continuously?

Could it be that I am really in need of love and long for someone to care about me?

Clement was lying on the bed, turning around. Suddenly, Nilfo across from him suddenly sat up and looked at Clement.

Clement was startled and subconsciously prepared to apologize, thinking that his frequent turning movements were causing his roommate to not sleep.

But Nilf frowned, "Something's wrong, Clement, get up quickly!"

As if to confirm Nilf's words, the next moment, Clement heard a loud noise, the earth was shaking, and the wind was roaring.

"Emergency evacuation!"

What came next was an old and familiar voice, that of Master Yideng.

Nilf moved quickly, put on his clothes and jumped to the ground. He moved cautiously and quietly to the window and looked out sideways. Clement had just gotten out of bed.

"Hush, we are under attack here. Clement put on his shoes and follow me."

Nilf put his finger in front of his mouth, turned around and picked up Clement, who had just put on his shoes, and gently opened the door.

In the corridor, the doors were opened almost in no particular order. There was no sleepiness on the faces of the boys and girls, and their reaction speed was extremely fast. They were well-trained.

"There are more than a dozen people, they should all be extraordinary people, and they are traveling faster than us."

One of the silver-haired girls said, because it was night, she took off the bra binding, and under the cloth, you could see the girl's graceful figure.

"Lalatina, you have the best eyesight, are you sure?"

The person who asked in a low voice was the yellow boy who currently ranked number one in training, named Ye Qiufeng. He was also from a noble family and was a family friend of Lalatina's family.

"Master Yideng was restrained by someone. The loud roar just now should be the sound of their fight. There are not many people outside the manor, but it is enough to pose a threat to us."

A blond boy spoke. He was Roosevelt, who was ranked third in training and came from a family of counts.

The boys and girls in the corridor were leaning against the wall, moving in an orderly manner, and the exchange of information continued.

"Go to the weapons depot. We can't outrun them in the wilderness. We must meet them at a location we are familiar with."

Lalatina spoke calmly.

"At the Stonehenge in the back courtyard, we can divide into small teams and conduct raids while walking around."

Ye Qiufeng said, motioning for everyone to follow him, opened the window at the other end of the corridor, and jumped out. This was a shortcut and a blind spot in the direction of the enemy's advance.

Clement looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. He wanted to ask why everyone was so calm. They were clearly facing extraordinary beings, so why did they immediately think of attacking them?

Judging from the traveling speed of those people, they should only be security-level extraordinary beings. This was what confused him the most.

Master Yideng had obviously been knocked away just now. If he could contain Master Yideng, there must be a special one among the enemies.

In such a raid, why would there be security-level extraordinary beings involved?

exercise?

Is it an exercise?

Clement comforted himself in his heart, thinking that there would not be such a stupid enemy.

If the Eternal Night Church found this place, there would be no reason to do this?

Shouldn't it be possible to contain Master Yideng at a special level and randomly kill any high-risk night watchman who has not tolerated their weird origins like these students?

Clement was full of doubts, but when he looked at his calm-faced classmates, he suddenly understood.

Of course, what they can think of, their classmates who are better than themselves can also think of it, but they have no choice now. Whether the enemy appears that can kill them instantly, or it can barely compete, it is not up to them.

.

Because the strongest combat force here has been contained, they have no choice but to protect themselves, and these proud students do not want to sit still and wait for death.

"Clement, don't be in a daze, watch your steps. If you fall tonight, you will die."

Nilfo pulled Clement and let him avoid the small pit at his feet.

When they came to the weapons depot, these boys and girls quickly selected the weapons they were usually familiar with.

Ye Qiufeng chose an oriental long sword, Lalatina chose a long whip with iron thorns, Roosevelt chose a broad-bladed hunting knife, and Nilford chose a knight's two-handed sword.

These are weapons that no one is allowed to use in sparring. You can only practice your moves against the dummy.

This group of teenagers responded extremely quickly. It only took less than two minutes from being awakened in their sleep to going to the weapons depot to fully equip themselves.
