Walking through the noisy streets in the early morning and entering the college, Roy's feelings were completely different from yesterday.
If the First Training Camp Branch yesterday was a xxx party place, then today, the academy has restored its solemnity and tranquility.[..com]
At the entrance of the college, two sentries wearing black high-velvet hats and narrow swords raised their heads and stood solemnly. They were as motionless as two sculptures. Around them, there were guards wearing standard leather armor from time to time.
Knights on horseback in mail lead the patrol.
Students coming from all over the place, whether on horseback or by car, stopped in front of the red line in the small square in front of the college, merged into the quiet crowd of students on foot, passed the admonishment monument and the hero monument at the college gate, and walked into the college gate.
Roy stopped in front of the two monuments in front of the college gate. He was not interested in the admonishment monument at all, but just focused on the hero monument.
The Heroes Monument is a huge black rock. Above it is a sculpture of a knight riding a spear and riding a horse. The monument is engraved with numerous names, all of which are soldiers who have walked out of the first training camp and sacrificed their lives for the country in previous wars over the past century.
name.
If it were in peaceful times, maybe Roy wouldn't have such deep feelings.
But after experiencing the war and seeing it with my own eyes
After the destruction of Labelle City, standing in front of the monument at this moment, he actually felt like the smoke of war, the light of swords and the shadows of swords coming towards his face. The scenes of wars over the past century and the roars of these soldiers seemed to be right in front of him, right in front of him.
ear.
In terms of military strength, Saint Solan is the weakest of the three empires.
However, this country has remained standing for hundreds of years since the Solan Grand Dukedom. No matter it was faced with the tyrannical Fei Lie or the huge Pompeii, it never lowered its head. It was because of the talents trained in the three major training camps of the empire.
Another batch of knights.
It can be said that the three major training camps are the cornerstone of the empire's military force. They are the three sharp swords forged by Grand Duke Solan for the empire.
This was true a hundred years ago, and it is true today as well. Every student who walks into this academy at this moment will join in the war that has burned across the land of Solan in the future. Either die silently, or bloom with infinite rays of light.
No matter what, the names on this stone tablet deserve respect.
After bypassing the stone monument, Roy followed the college road and joined the crowd. After a while, he arrived at the E-Brigade Castle located in the northwest corner of the college.
As soon as he saw the castle, Roy stopped in surprise.
As a militarized academy, the First Training Camp adopts military design in the construction of the academy. Not only is the entire academy surrounded by thick walls, the six knight brigades and the central building inside are located inside, as well as the Magic Academy.
The defense facilities are also quite complete.
In particular, the six knight brigades were stationed in six castles around the central building. Each castle looked better than the one Roy lived in before.
o Baron Labelle's castle is more than twice the size. It has a main tower, auxiliary towers, turrets, a racecourse, a training ground and a dormitory building.
But……
The corner of Roy's mouth twitched. Compared with the castles of the other five brigades, the castle of E Brigade looked a little too shabby.
Looking at the tattered walls, the corners overgrown with weeds, the gates and railings with mottled paint, if it weren't for the clearly marked E Brigade logo, he would have thought he had walked into a deserted area of the college.
"Roy." A voice sounded in his ear.
Roy turned around. Luke's smiling face appeared in front of him. After the entrance day, Luke had successfully been promoted to the second grade. The uniforms and the symbols on the uniforms had also been changed. He looked more distinguished than before.
Spirit.
"What are you looking at?" Luke was beside Roy, following his gaze, with a hint of understanding at the corner of his mouth: "It's very shabby, isn't it?"
Roy turned his head and looked at the beautiful and solid castles of the brigade in other directions, and said puzzledly: "Isn't this gap too big?"
"There's nothing surprising." Luke patted Roy on the shoulder and led him towards the castle. As he walked, he said: "E Brigade is composed of civilians with the lowest talents. Those with low talents among the nobles have other options.
, will not be embarrassed here. Therefore, the funding from those nobles will be designated for the brigades where their children are, and it will not be our turn."
"What about the academy? Don't you care?" Roy frowned. He didn't expect that an academy that trains knights would be so realistic.
"Don't you know, Donald controls the finances. The royal family's expenses are tight, which naturally affects the three major training camps directly under it. Many branches have direct connections with Donald, so they have more funding. We...
"Luke gave a wry smile and shook his head.
Roy also understood without him continuing.
The three major training camps are the cornerstone of the empire's military force. Over the years, they have been the battlefield where the empire's major forces have clashed. Everyone wants to get involved, and Donald is no exception.
Among the major provinces, Grand Duke Adolf of Lullian was loyal to Edward I. Although the Lulian branch seemed to have nothing to do with Adolf, it was still affected by the local society to some extent. Therefore, Donald did not say how much money he gave to the college.
, it’s already good if you don’t deduct it.
Luke continued: "The college's funds are already small, and daily maintenance is required, so there are even fewer funds that can be allocated to each team. Therefore, the college stipulates that in addition to the funds specified by the sponsor, the funds for each team must be allocated on a weekly basis.
It will be determined by the Fantasy Tower ranking and inter-college competition results.”
After saying this, he was silent for a moment and said: "Our E-Brigade has the lowest students' talents, teaching level, training equipment and other resources. How can we achieve any good results? When Dean Gustas was in charge
Fortunately, Vice President Diarra came later and established the rules for strength ranking. In the past two years, it has basically been broken."
While they were talking, the two of them had already entered the E-Brigade Knights' Castle.
Along the way, Roy found that when he and Luke were walking together, the other students were avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally. The looks they looked at him and Luke were also strange. There was envy, jealousy, and disgust.
, there is numbness, and there is also schadenfreude.
What's even more strange is that Luke turns a blind eye to this. In the face of obvious hostility, avoidance and rejection, he just walks forward without looking away, as if he has become accustomed to it.
Just as Roy was speculating in his mind, suddenly, several students came towards him.
As soon as he saw the uniforms on these students, their brigade numbers, and the looks in their eyes from the surrounding E brigade students, Roy knew that trouble was coming.
There were seven or eight students walking over. In front of them was a tall boy and a girl with a pure appearance and a slim figure. The uniforms were all marked with the logo of the S Brigade. The students following behind were also from the A Brigade and
People from the brigade. One of them is even a magic student.
Like Luke, they are all second-year students. The difference is that these people are obviously nobles.
Their well-groomed hair, shoes under their uniforms, swords, as well as their elegant steps and annoying aloofness are all things that civilians cannot imitate.
"Roy, right?" As soon as these people came up, they surrounded Roy.
They completely ignored Luke and only looked at Roy. The magic student raised his chin slightly and looked at Roy up and down.
"I am." Roy replied honestly. In his bleary eyes, there was a hint of panic that he had never seen in the world.
When Luke saw Roy's appearance, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"Congratulations, you were admitted to the academy." The magician smiled and nodded at Roy, handing over a red post.
Roy took it in confusion, opened it, and was stunned. The magic student said leisurely with a half-smile: "I'm really sorry, this is not a gift, but a letter of challenge. Three days later, there will be a bet on the Fantasy Tower. The bet is two
Thousand Fantasy Tower points."
Roy raised his head dullly and asked, "Why?"
The magic student sneered and ignored his question. He pointed at the tall knight student and said: "His name is Xiang Feng, and he is your opponent this time. Because he has the strength of a four-star armed man, you only need to
If you survive one round without being knocked down, you win."
After saying that, the magic student raised his finger and said calmly: "Three minutes."
There was a crash, and the students around him suddenly started to stir. As celebrities in the college, everyone in the second grade knew these people.
Xiang Feng, a tall and taciturn knight, was ranked among the top twenty second-year students in terms of strength. He actually challenged a freshman from Team E...
The students who had seen Roy take action yesterday held their breath, while other students who didn't know Roy opened their eyes wide and didn't know why.
In the academy, challenge is an institution.
Just like a duel initiated by nobles throwing their gloves into each other's faces, it is a common and legal way to resolve disputes in this world. As long as the challenger accepts it voluntarily, there is no coercion and no unfairness.
You can't interfere either.
Xiang Feng is armed with five stars, while Roy is armed with one star. Therefore, the opponent asked Roy to survive one round without being knocked down, which was a fair challenge.
Of course, Roy can choose not to accept it. But in that case, he will be embarrassed because of his timidity. Such a person cannot hold his head high among knights who take bravery as one of their precepts.
His name will be put on the students' shame list, the top ten coward rankings, etc. xxx. Everyone will avoid him. No one will communicate with him, no one will spar with him, and no one will team up with him for trials.
.These are unbearable for a new student.
After a moment of commotion, the surroundings became completely quiet.
In the eyes of everyone, Roy looked sleepily at the group of people in front of him, shook his head, spat on the post, threw it on the ground and stepped on it. As he walked, he scratched his head.
"I met a bunch of idiots so early in the morning. It was so weird."
.
.
.I didn’t have time during the day, so I hurried out at night. Unexpectedly, it was already past four o’clock. I have to catch up on sleep tomorrow. I asked for a day off.
