In the first pass of the district selection alone, more than 90% of the candidates were eliminated, which shows the cruelty.
The remaining candidates are basically all nervous at this time.
But then the scenery in the Royal Academy attracted everyone here. Of course, the scenery here is not the vast training ground, rich equipment, and castle-sized teaching buildings, but the people they saw on the road.
All kinds of teenagers, middle-aged, young girls, and old men, they are practicing qigong, or taking a walk, or gathering together to talk, play chess, and they look relaxed and freehand, with a successful and proud temperament on their faces.
The only thing they have in common is the knight dress on their bodies, they are all knights.
The students recruited by Coster Royal Academy are only knights who pass the district election every year, so all the students here are naturally knights.
They saw at least 20 knights in just five minutes along the way, and when will the more than 300 candidates who passed the first pass see so many knights in the same place
They looked at all kinds of knights who were majestic, or chic, or domineering, or elegant, wearing knight dresses. Almost every one of them had a strange charm and exuded a strong aura of life.
Every candidate looked at these knights with great yearning and envy in their eyes.
The knights here are a hundred times happier than the college students of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the past.
The eyes of Ogden and Lambert are also slightly excited. Being able to live in this kind of place without worrying about food and clothing, as well as state subsidies and various resources to cultivate themselves, far exceeds the social status of ordinary people, and the authority cannot be controlled by ordinary laws , This is simply their dream life.
At this time, the gap between ordinary people and noble children was revealed. Most of the common people couldn't let go when they saw so many knights. They looked stiff and had inferiority complex in their eyes.
On the contrary, those noble children looked calm, and even greeted many knights.
"Hey, Kaunitz? You really are here." A slender, somewhat feminine knight walked to the side of the team.
Beside him, the same few knights were faintly headed by this feminine man.
"Senior." Kaunitz nodded slightly.
"Hey, come on, try to get a district crown for our Theresia Academy." The feminine knight seemed to just pass by, and left after saying hello.
After that, Barbara and Ferdinand of the Noble Academy also met acquaintances. Several of their relatives and seniors became knights and studied at the Coster Royal Academy.
Ogden, the big brother of the Shuojian Gym at the side, whispered enviously: "They can live with the knights since they were young, meet each other often, and get guidance. It's no wonder that their grades are not better than ours."
"So what? Fang Xingjian's results this time are about the same as theirs." Lambert said a little dissatisfied.
"Hehe, do you think Fang Xingjian can surpass them?" Ogden shook his head, looking at Kaunitz and the others with envy in their eyes: "I think Fang Xingjian should be sixth in the first level, in the sword hall When he lost to Kaunitz again and again, how could he win this time."
Lambert was silent, he could not refute these words.
Obviously, both of them were the last batch to rush into the gate of the academy, and they didn't know the order in which Fang Xingjian and the others entered. In fact, apart from the registered staff and examiners, it was impossible for ordinary candidates other than Kaunitz and the others to enter. Know.
After a while, a group of people arrived at a huge martial arts arena paved with marble, where dozens of examiners were already waiting.
Dick glanced at the candidates and said:
"After passing the physical level of the first level, you are already considered the most elite fighters around Coster, but if you want to become knights and enjoy the glory of His Majesty, these alone are not enough. Strong physique, proficient skills, and Unparalleled talent, only those who meet these three conditions at the same time can become a knight. The next test is your skills and skills. According to the general classification on the mainland, there are swords, sticks, crossbows, unarmed and miscellaneous There are five categories in total, please work hard everyone.”
Fang Xingjian's eyes swept slightly, and he saw the northernmost part of the playground, with the word sword written in front of the two examiners.
The other examinees also searched for the categories they were good at, and Kaunitz was the first to walk towards the examiner of swords and swords.
After a while, the five major categories were already full of people. Fang Xingjian took a look. Kaunitz, Ogden, and Lambert were naturally here. There were about 80 people standing in the sword category, which can be said to be the most crowded among the five major categories. a batch.
There are seven examiners in charge of the sword and sword assessment, and each of them is wearing a knight's dress with a serious face.
The assessment of district elections is related to the future of every candidate, and it is a political item that the high-level empire attaches great importance to. Every examiner dare not ignore it in the slightest, and is extremely serious about the performance and scoring of candidates.
Seeing that the classification was completed, the leading examiner, about 50 or 60 years old, with black hair, yellow skin, and an Asian face, said: "The assessment items are very simple. Each of you takes turns to stand up and practice martial arts. A set of swordsmanship drills, and then we will fight three moves with the seven of us. The seven of us will give each of you a score. The average score is your score for this round, and finally added to the score of the third level , is your total score. Those who rank in the top ten will be able to pass this district election and become knights."
The black-haired old man looked majestic and solemn, and every word he uttered was like a sword flashing in front of his eyes. Under his gaze, the candidates present even felt as if they were being pressed against the point of the sword.
Fang Xingjian could feel that the opponent's swordsmanship must be extremely strong, behind him, he could hear several students talking softly.
"This is the chief swordsmanship instructor of Coster Royal Knights Academy, another second-rank expert besides the dean, Huang Lin."
"In the entire academy, he and the dean are the only rank-two powerhouses. It would be great if he could become a knight and be accepted as his disciple."
"How is that possible? I heard that he hasn't accepted disciples for five years, and he just teaches swordsmanship in normal classes."
This Huang Lin obviously also has the blood of Xidalu, so he has black hair and yellow skin, but more importantly, he has the best swordsmanship in the entire academy.
Fang Xingjian's eyes moved slightly. It would be the best if he could join the opponent's sect, and this required him to perform well in the next two levels.
