In the early morning, the rising sun hid behind the gray clouds and refused to appear.
Griffith sat up from the bed groggily, feeling as if he was hungover. After continuously performing tasks, his body had become accustomed to short rests in a highly stressful environment, and it became difficult to sleep deeply.
.
The decoration of the dormitory is very comfortable and warm. There are encyclopedia-like textbooks on the dark desk. On the chairs and hangers are your own coats and scarves. The soft mattress and quilt are warm and comfortable, making you not want to get out. The floor and walls are made of black.
It was made of large rocks and was smooth and flat. On the fireplace opposite the bed, the charcoal fire that was not completely extinguished was shining brightly.
There are three beds in this room. Berthier and Lanner are Griffith's roommates. They huddled in the bed and there was no movement at all.
Griffith rubbed his face and put on his clothes. Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well take the time to review his homework. When he was on a mission and went out to fight, he would not let go of the papers, but after all, he could not compare with what he had done in school, and the course progress would inevitably fall behind.
.
The official sent a notice to order military uniforms. There was a sum of money, 200 silver francs and enough fabric buttons to make two sets of payment. Griffith could order his own suit at a tailor shop in Baltimore town. He would wear military uniforms.
Uniforms are something only junior officers and non-commissioned officers do.
In addition to the excellent salary, he also has many other benefits, including but limited to wartime separation allowance, long vacations, marriage leave and family leave. If he is fighting abroad, he can give priority to designating his own dormitory and having an orderly.
He read it for a while and put the letter away.
The final exam is not far away, and the school can let him go lightly for the sake of performing his duties. Who said he is Shutoral~ But exams and papers will not be ambiguous!
Thinking about it makes people nervous! Griffith couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He looked at Rana who was still sleeping soundly. This guy had also been on duty in Verona for a long time. He must have studied hard.
Why are you so calm?
Griffith opened the textbook on his desk and took a brief look at it. He found that the notes had been taken on it, and end points were drawn on important places, with small notes attached for notes. The thin and beautiful fonts had a unique style, like bow strings.
It is as pleasing to the eye as the new moon, and one can tell at a glance that it was prepared for him by Galadia.
Shutoral is not a professional fighter in Beyeland. Many of them will bid farewell to their military careers after graduation and become family administrators and staff. Four years of study is a very valuable experience. During this period, if you can be like
It would be great if Griffith took merit and honor like that. However, if he puts his military exploits above his studies, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Although they have long swords hanging on their waists, one day the swords will be sheathed and used as decorations to accompany their owners at banquets and balls in Bayerland, or placed in the Senate's question box and at the military headquarters.
At the desk. The poor performance and experience in the academy will discredit the honor gained by the knights and apprentice knights, which is more serious than the nature of defeat. The worst thing about Qin Guang is that if he is repeated a grade, he will not be able to accompany the lord...
...For example, next year Galadia and Sonia will be promoted to third grade, and Griffith will still be in second grade. This, how embarrassing it is.
Calm down, just review the materials Galadia prepared for me, and borrow Sonia's paper for "reference", everything will be fine!
No matter what, the top students in the grade are all very familiar with me. I can get tutoring from whomever I want. For just a final exam or something, I have the advantage!
Griffith took a deep breath, hummed twice, pulled up his coat and started reading.
After a while, the wall clock on the wall of the living room outside the bedroom struck five times, and the sky became slightly brighter.
Griffith looked up from the book blankly, slapped himself hard twice on the face, and then immersed himself in his notes again.
Soon, he raised his head again, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down his cheeks.
"Introduction to Advanced Magic", "High-Energy Alchemy Materials", he knew every word in these notes with strange names, but after they were put together, why couldn't he understand a single word?
…
In the early morning of December 22, Griffith left the dormitory with a solemn expression and walked along the long corridor on the cliff to the dining room. On a hazy winter day, the snow in the distant mountains stretched to the infinite sky, blending with the gray sea.
.
There was no one in the empty corridor. The biting wind passed over the mountains, plains and cities from the extreme northern wasteland, blowing away the morning fog and blowing into the spinal cord of the second-level assault squadron leader, and then severely scraped several knives.
What kind of aesthetics does the school have? Griffith criticized it bitterly in his heart. Why not install glass on this promenade, or paint the walls white? Is this cold and dull tone meant to guide us?
Heading towards the abyss of eternal doom! Doesn’t anyone in this pedantic castle know what beauty is!?
Ah——! My final exam! The combat mission cost me a lot of study time. The situation is too bad for me. I need support! Griffith almost rolled on the ground holding his head.
"Morning~"
The smart voice is like clear spring water, tinkling in the gloomy heart. The cold silence suddenly becomes bright in the morning.
"You're finally back~"
"Morning! Galadia!" Griffith turned his head sharply, and was surprised to see the person he longed for appeared in front of him. He almost knelt down to hold on to the last hope. If it hadn't been for many years of fighting, it had cooled down.
His heart was about to burst into tears right now.
Reinforcements, my reinforcements are coming!
"Why are you so excited..." Miss Elf tilted her head in surprise. She stood there slim and graceful, wearing a woolen winter long school skirt and cloak, with a red velvet scarf wrapped around her collar.
Griffith was first excited about his final exam and wanted to pray for help. When he saw the beautiful figures around him clearly, he immediately lost the ability to speak.
The cold and dark corridors are so pure. Is this what guides tired travelers to find fields of blooming roses in the dark wilderness? It is indeed Hometown Watts. Only the palace of knowledge accumulated through history can have such a taste!
Galadia hugged the thick textbook and came to her boyfriend lightly, leaning against Griffith's arm like a nightingale returning to the branch. Her long eyelashes were shining in her watery eyes.
She flashed a few times, a little embarrassed, but also a little happy. She gently stroked the long, smooth black hair beside her ears, followed the hanging hair with her fingertips, came to her waist, and touched the knight's hand lightly.
Fingers, immediately hold the fiery and powerful hand tightly.
"I'll give you five points~"
…
The ceiling of Homemon Watts Hall is so high that the ceiling is almost invisible, and the huge arched glass windows like the sky are flashing with constantly changing colors and paintings. Four long tables are arranged here, and it is the venue for major festivals and events in the college.
, students also eat their three daily meals here.
"The final exam is after the Frost Festival, and I brought the schedule." Sonia sat down across the long table as usual, poured herself a bowl of yogurt and ate it, "Griffith, you look so bad.
, the mission is too hard and you haven’t rested yet?”
Griffith sat there with a pale face, eating and flipping through textbooks.
"Sonia, you care so much about your knight——!" Fiona smiled and looked at her good friend and then at Griffith.
"I just..." Sonia's cheeks turned slightly red, "I just... um, um~"
"He was frightened when he found a word about himself in the review materials!" Galadia sat next to Griffith, glanced at the thick textbook on the table, and pierced him with one sentence: "Isn't that right?"
"I still recognize the words." Griffith defended.
"Look," Miss Elf looked at Sonia first, then at Fiona, "I know."
"There is still time for the exam," Sonia flipped through the book and handed over a timetable, "You need the 444 method!"
"What is this, magic? Can magic deal with exams?"
"I only sleep 4 hours a day, drink 4 cups of coffee, and have a grade point of 4.0!" Sonia added some fruit to her bowl, "I do this every time before an exam. Come on, you still have time."
…
Throughout the whole day, Griffith, who had no way out, studied hard until very late. Most of his friends went to prepare gifts and dances for the Frost Festival, and he was still studying with gritted teeth.
Because there were so many arrears of homework, Griffith felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He picked up the newspaper on the table and wanted to take a rest.
"What should I do with your thesis?" Galadia, who had been at the desk the whole night, made a cup of coffee and handed it to her. "Of course the written exam can be a surprise, but what about the thesis?"
"Huh?" Griffith raised his head in confusion, "Don't you also want to write a paper?"
"Huh? Is my thesis related to yours?" Galadia didn't follow his train of thought for a moment, "I've finished writing it a long time ago."
"I think so." Griffith found a small cup, threw some sugar cubes, and poured some coffee into it. "Since you wrote the paper, then I can just copy your work. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Go write?"
"..."
Galadia almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
She bit her lip, preparing to reject this bad guy harshly. However, if you look closely, the last time he refused to copy a project report for Griffith, he threatened her by rolling on the ground, and he succeeded in the end.
"Let's do this," Miss Elf's smart eyes flickered, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Let's take a rest. How about playing a game of King of Mystery?"
"I'm busy~" Griffith shook his head, "I'm about to start writing, um, copying the paper."
Sure enough, this bad guy! Galadia clenched her fists, resisted the urge to beat him up, and said with a smile:
"If you win, I will give you the paper and tell you how to revise it without being discovered by the professor."
"real!"
"Of course, can I still lie to you?" Galadia nodded seriously, "I am your true friend."
"Hehe, you are such a good person, um, a good elf!"
"Don't be so polite," Miss Elf laid out the Mysterious King's chessboard, "Which of us will follow who~"
…
Humph, it's just as planned! Even if I don't care about the final paper at all, Galadia will take the initiative to bring it up. I can use my iron-faced characteristic to save more time to review the written exam, and the paper will be in her
With help, you can even get high scores!
As expected of me!
Griffith hurriedly covered the corners of his raised mouth with sugar mixed with coffee.
What? What if King of Mystery loses? This is impossible! I have long known that King of Mystery is a war chess game developed by Roland. In addition to the long quest line and adventure plot, another big selling point is the chess players.
A real-time strategic confrontation between players. Players can use psychic powers or manually control cards and national policy routes, produce armaments, upgrade weapons, assemble as many troops as possible, and then fight on complex terrain.
Can I lose!? I am a professional officer, and I don’t play King of Mysteries for a day or two anymore! Hehe, there is such a good thing~ I usually have to find time to play it, but now not only can I have Galadia with me
I played and solved the thesis by the way. It was like a dream!
Losing is impossible!
King of Mysteries is a game that is loved by almost all students at Homemon Watts. The school has also made rankings of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Master and Grandmaster based on everyone’s performance. I, Griffith, am a Master.
As a chess player, you can easily deal with the cute and innocent silly roe deer!
Griffith injected psychic energy into the huge unfolded chessboard. The chessboard surface immediately showed a detailed grid of thousands of rhombuses used to arrange cards, and then a coat of arms indicating the level of the chess players appeared in the corners of the chessboard.
Have you seen the golden oak leaf emblem of my double swords! Galadia, this is proof that I am a master chess player at Homemon Watts. Even Professor Heinz may not be able to beat me. See this
At the moment of heraldry, you should...what!
Griffith thought he was dazzled for the first time. He suddenly saw that the coat of arms presented on the side of Galadia had one more shining diamond than the golden oak leaves of his swords.
What! Galadia, are you actually the Grandmaster’s!?
