"Let me introduce, this is His Highness Harris, the most favored son of the current emperor!"
Upon hearing Mariana's introduction, Clemont hurriedly saluted.
"Clement has met His Highness Harris!"
Harris, who has a slender figure and a delicate face, smiled and nodded, and then said: "Since you are Mariana's friend, you are also my friend. Friends don't have to be like this. Besides, we are still classmates now. You call me Ha."
Just Reese!"
Harris, who looks like a minor, is very shy and has no airs about him. With this kind of personality, Clemont is quite willing to communicate with him.
As a result, the three of them quickly became familiar with each other.
"Oh, by the way, do you know how to test tomorrow's test?"
"Haha, you will know this tomorrow..."
The next day, Clemont got up early and put on the uniform distributed by the college with the three sisters waiting on him.
The overall uniform is white, made of fine fabrics, and very comfortable to wear.
The location for the student test was in the central square. Like Clement, there were students rushing to the square on the road at this time.
These people came from different parts of the mainland and knew very little about each other, so almost all of them were walking around with their heads covered. This made Clemont, who wanted to get some news about the test, not sure where to start.
"Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. What am I afraid of from a small test!"
In fact, it's not that Clement is afraid of testing, but that he has never tested before and is inevitably a little unsure about unknown matters.
Soon, the Zenith Sword erected in the square appeared in his eyes, but at this time, in addition to the Zenith Sword, there were also some busts placed on the marble steps around the square.
The depictions of these exquisite statues are extremely lifelike, and the expressions on the faces of each statue can be clearly seen. On the base of the stone tablet below, there are dense texts engraved, which probably introduce the legendary deeds of the corresponding statues.
At this time, many people had gathered in the square. In addition to the students in the advanced training class, there were also ordinary students watching the fun.
These ordinary students are admitted through their own efforts. After they graduate, most of them will be absorbed by major territories and become the mainstay of the army.
Seeing that everyone had not yet arrived, Clemont leisurely read the words on the stone tablet.
"Ralph Augsig, a war knight, served as the commander of the twenty-fifth legion of the empire. In the battle against the demonic invasion, he killed forty-two undead knights, nine fallen witches, and finally the Balrog.
The monarch died heroically in the battle at the age of 186! He once..."
Looking all the way, Clement was deeply shocked by the deeds recorded on these inscriptions.
At the same time, an epic fantasy scroll slowly unfolded in front of him.
Demons! Dragons! Elves! Orcs! Dwarves!
These creatures, which were only in his imagination, seemed to be just a step away from him.
"Woo..."
Just as he was immersed in these deeds, a powerful horn sounded from the square.
The students who heard the sound immediately lined up in front of the Zenith Sword. Clemont was at the back because he was the last one to report.
When the students finished lining up, Delia, wearing a dark knight armor as deep as a black hole, appeared at the front of the team.
Looking at those eyes that were as bright as stars but bottomless, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
There was a faint smile on Delia's face, but his smile fell on the hearts of all the students, making people tremble like a demon.
"The principal has something to do and can't make it back, so I will be the one to preside over today's test!"
"You are all new members of the Royal Knights Academy and the future successors of the empire. Therefore, I hope you will work hard for the honor of your family, your own honor, and the honor of the empire!!"
"This is my expectation for you! This is also the empire's expectation for you! Therefore, I temporarily added an item to this test, which is to climb the Zenith Sword!"
When Delia said this, her tone was very passionate, and her eyes were watching all the students closely, as if she wanted to see through their thoughts.
However, the ordinary students who were watching the excitement started to chuckle at this moment.
"Hahaha, now we have a good show. Climbing the Zenith Sword is not an easy task!"
"Hey, what the hell! Let's just watch the fun. I want to see how strong these noble children are! Back then, we worked very hard to get in, but they did it so easily..."
Since Clemont stood at the back of the team, he could clearly hear the words of these ordinary students.
He had no idea about this. Just like a popular saying in his previous life, how can ten years of hard work be compared to three years of business?
This controversial statement has both approval and disapproval, but the reality is that there is no use complaining!
"Haha, I've finished what I want to say, let's start testing!"
After finishing speaking, Delia walked up to the Zenith Sword and placed the key emitting magic fluctuations on the sword.
The next moment, as the magic key slowly blended in, the Zenith Sword exuding black gold light began to wake up. A pure white light went straight up from the root. In almost the blink of an eye, the original black gold sword body became pure white.
.
"let's start!"
After giving a calm instruction to the assistant teacher behind her, Delia sat down on the chair next to her.
"The test just requires you to put your hand on it, number one, Harry Wilder."
The assistant teacher pointed at the Zenith Sword and said to the students, then called out their names.
Hearing this, the first student in line stepped forward with an anxious expression.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..." As the student approached, the sword began to tremble.
This made the student even more nervous, but he still followed His Highness Delia's words and slowly put his hand on it.
"Ahhhhh...it hurts...it hurts..."
The moment he put it on, the student suddenly shouted in pain
Immediately afterwards, everyone noticed that his skin gradually became red, sweating, and even some veins were exposed.
"Ah... what is going on? Is the Zenith Sword's detection so abnormal?"
The other students started whispering, and Clemont was also a little surprised at this time.
This test of the Zenith Sword looks like an execution, completely different from ordinary tests.
"Look, the Zenith Sword has changed!"
Looking around, I saw that the originally pure white sword body began to change from the root, and a light of aqua blue gradually rose, and then stopped at the junction of the first layer and the second layer, but it did not exceed the first layer.
.
At this time, the painful expression on the student's face finally eased.
