Chapter 92: Start of school = start of war

"Yaruo, don't think too much. Since you said that he treated you well and never forced you to do anything, then I think you are really lucky, but I don't know what will happen. Why are humans so aggressive?" Thinking of her own experience, Yunyue immediately felt a chill in her heart.

Magic traps and camouflaged hunters surrounded him from all sides. Although he killed the two mages who were responsible for attacking and delaying him, the surrounding warriors quickly knocked him out with a palm when he was unable to escape.

After being brought back to a small town, Yunyue immediately discovered that there were at least three elves with the same fate as herself in the place where the hunters had settled. From those people, she learned that for these four elves, at least 10 of the hunters had died. But from their tone, Yunyue also heard that they were not ready to give up, and planned to continue to enter the Elf Forest to capture big elves and even elemental elves after selling them.

4 elves and 100,000 gold coins made it difficult for the capture team of nearly 100 people to get rid of this absolute temptation. As long as these people can do this 10 times, they will not have to worry about the rest of their lives. But at this time, who would think about the 10 dead companions

"Yunyue, why don't you just stay here and don't leave. We can still keep each other company! What do you think? I think the master will not object as long as I ask." As she said that, Yaruo was about to look for me, but Yunyue grabbed her.

"Wait for him to come back. If he can accept me and he is really as you said, then I will be lucky..."

*************************************************** *********************************

The next day at noon, I made an appointment with Jerry to go to the Imperial School of Magic and Martial Arts as scheduled. On the way, I was still thinking about yesterday's experience. My luck was really good.

Yesterday, when I came back after arranging accommodation for Yunyue, Yunyue made me swear some bullshit oath, asking me to swear not to force her to betray their tribe, and then signed a master-servant contract with me.

What I didn't expect was that Yunyue was actually an elf mage who was proficient in both light and fire. In addition to being a high-level magician in both magics, she was also good at lightning magic, a powerful single-shot mixed magic of light and fire. As a result, my magic scroll business became more prosperous. Before leaving today, I almost locked them both in my underground secret room filled with various magic crystals. (Most of them were obtained from Duke Shalo in the name of research, and most of them were low-grade magic crystals and small pieces of magic crystals.)

In the academy, I watched Off and Jerry's servants complete all the complicated admission procedures, and through their connections, they arranged for Jerry and I to live in the same residence. We were given four servants, three of whom were from Jerry's family. Together with Off, they packed the left and right rooms of Jerry and me into one very crowded dormitory.

At the end, Jerry and I left the four burdens behind and rushed to the square of the college to attend the opening ceremony. Although I could foresee that the so-called opening ceremony was nothing more than an old woman's foot binding cloth, smelly and long, but because Jerry was interested, I had no choice but to accompany him to suffer together. In my heart, I kept cursing Jerry for being a country bumpkin born in a family and willing to suffer such a crime. With our situation, even if we were found out, nothing would happen. . . Of course, it was mainly because of him, that is, the future lord of the Far East Territory - Jerry.

"... Students, since you have entered this academy, you must receive the best, most rigorous, and most efficient learning. One month after the start of school, the academy will begin a monthly challenge among freshmen. As long as you are not injured, every student must accept the challenge of other students. Of course, every student can refuse another challenge as long as he or she has been challenged by other students..."

After a lot of nonsense, the wind mage who was known as the most accomplished in the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy besides the first dean finally said what I was most worried about. This so-called challenge match could become a revenge match for someone with ulterior motives. If that Rockart wanted to take revenge on me or Jerry, then the best place would be there. Although I personally might not lose to that guy, what about Jerry? Jerry's magic is definitely not his match. And if he hires someone to kill me, I don't think I can escape the first day, but I won't survive the fifteenth day.

Huanghuang waited anxiously for the dean to finish speaking, then for several main tutors to speak, and then... until all the nonsense was finished, I pulled Jerry and left.

Damn it, since someone has challenged me, I can refuse other people's challenges. Then I might as well challenge Jerry first, and then I can practice Tai Chi on the stage to avoid being beaten like a cockroach by others.

"Hey, aren't they the two pillars of our Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy? Why are you running so fast? With our Lord Jerry's level of Silver Great Swordsman, who would he be afraid of? But to be honest, I am not talented enough. I originally wanted to challenge Lord Jerry at the end of the month, but then I thought, if I hurt our honorable Lord Jerry, it would be difficult to deal with the invasion of the demons. In this case, I will just challenge Division Commander Shen Hanlong. I hope the division commander will not hesitate to give me some advice!"

What you fear will come true. Before Jerry and I left the venue, we were surrounded by a group of dandies from the imperial capital led by Rocart. It seems that this trip to the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy is really unlucky. I was about to say something, but Rocart started talking again.

"Captain Shen, I heard that you are very brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. You must not show up in such a small place! It's very embarrassing... Also, don't tell me that you already have someone to challenge right after the dean announced the news, or even that you have already filled up your challenge schedule for a month or even the entire college period! If that's the case, I think our entire college will be very disappointed. Of course, if you can say in front of everyone here that you are afraid of failure and that you are as timid as a mouse, then I will pretend that today... No, no, no, I will pretend that nothing happened in the past, what do you think? Hahaha..."

"Damn it, I accept your challenge. By the way, I hope that from now on, unless one of us leaves the academy for some reason, we will continue to challenge each other individually until one of us can't play anymore..." Seeing our strange behavior and turning his eyes to the large number of students here, I have been forced to do something desperate. Since we want to compete, then I will compete with you alone, forever. I don't believe that I can't deal with you when you can't bribe others to deal with me? Then what's the point of me! At least I will use my abnormal total magic value and magic scrolls to kill you...

And because of this challenge promise, a new world of confrontation between magicians in this world has opened up.

Starting tomorrow, updates will be back to normal.

By the way, please guess how many chapters the academy article will have
