Chapter 455 S-Level Trial Evaluation, Generous Rewards
This day.
At the foot of the Taita Mountains, at the Royal Academy of Arel, various luxurious carriages stopped at the entrance of the academy.
Today is the day for registration, and young nobles from various territories in the southern continent have arrived at the academy one after another.
Not too early or too late.
A purple carriage pulled by a grunt beast stopped at the entrance of the academy.
Young Master Sak got off the carriage.
Behind the convoy, Ji Xun and a group of reserve knights followed closely behind. They were wearing brand new armor and robes, holding the purple dragon cross flag of the Langdon family.
Such a trip would surely cause a sensation in other cities.
But here, the entrance is full of such guards surrounding young masters and young ladies to go to school.
Today is the day for new students of the Royal Academy to enter the school, and it is also the first day for those young nobles to start their college life.
The students are not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and their luxurious clothes and family emblems show their outstanding status.
There are many and complicated nobles in the southern continent, but the class division is also very clear.
Ji Xun also had a detailed understanding of the noble emblems of the southern continent.
The details of the pattern on the emblem revealed all the information, and the patterns on the emblems of the direct line, collateral line, and the number of descendants were all marked in detail.
Ji Xun only took a glance and recognized the identities of many students.
The seventy-third prince Roy of the Black Dragon Kingdom, Princess Sophia of the Red Dragon Kingdom, Prince Sike of the Silver Dragon Royal Family, the seventeenth princess of Grand Duke Raphael, and the twenty-first grandson of Grand Duke Shuangshan
The top nobles who are rarely seen on weekdays are everywhere here.
Although the empire is large, the social circle of the aristocratic class is still not large.
Many small nobles have known each other for a long time.
After Sack got off the carriage, he met several acquaintances and chatted with them while walking.
"Hey, Sack, I heard you were assassinated? What happened?"
"Small problem. Just some blind guys."
"Have you heard about the [Curse God Card]? I heard that a few guys in the academy got lucky and got it. I heard that thing can use spells infinitely. Do you think it's really that magical?"
"Didn't that guy Ike just detect that the blue dragon blood is very pure this year? Will he come to the academy this year? Why didn't I see him?"
"Hey, I heard that the unlucky guy broke a leg while hunting and is now recovering at home."
"Hey, I don't know why, I heard that the black There seem to be many bounties for royal students in the city."
"It is probably some ambitious people who are making trouble again. Recently, the Church has promulgated the Development Act, and many downtrodden nobles have emerged or the Dragon Rebellion Army. I always feel that the fingers of the major territories seem to be more chaotic recently."
"Didn't they say that the main force of the Dragon Rebellion Army fled to the Old World?"
"Who knows. Hey, have you heard that there are pagans making trouble in some remote places in the north, saying that there are "vampires", and the Church has organized an expeditionary army."
"."
Ji Xun followed the team.
While walking, he also listened to the chatter of the young masters.
These young masters and young ladies have their own family intelligence networks, and often know a lot of news that cannot be obtained through other channels.
Every noble brought some reserve knights like Ji Xun.
The higher the rank, the more you bring.
So there are many people recruited in each academy.
The group walked all the way into the academy.
The Royal Academy of Arel is built on the mountain, with the towering Titan Mountains behind it.
The foot of the mountain is shaded by green trees, and most of the white Gothic dome buildings are hidden in the forest.
This place is similar to the style of Giant City, with various huge buildings everywhere.
There is a wide avenue leading to the depths of the academy.
On both sides are neatly trimmed magic gardens, in which grow various exotic plants that are rare in the outside world.
Some leaves are like wind chimes, swaying gently in the wind, making pleasant bell sounds; some flowers will bloom at certain times, releasing an invigorating fragrance; and there are vines that look like living, which are some tree demons.
Ji Xun was amazed when he saw it.
It is really a magical world.
After walking for a while, you can see the hundred-meter-high human knight statues standing on both sides of the road.
Looking from a distance, a huge building with stained glass windows came into view.
That is the library of the Royal Academy.
The most spectacular building in the entire academy.
There is a square the size of several football fields in front of the library. In the center of the square stands a huge white stone statue, which is a three-headed dragon 100 meters high.
Before Ji Xun came, he had heard that there was a magical dragon statue in the college.
But when he saw this three-headed dragon sculpture for the first time, he was still shocked: "The statue actually has such an exaggerated dragon power."
The artistic component of the statue is very high, and the carving is also very exquisite.
The whole statue is lifelike, giving people the feeling that it is not a dead object, but a giant dragon with life that has been petrified.
There is a hint of contempt in the dragon's eyes, as if seeing the contempt of a powerful person for the creatures in the world.
Majesty, cruelty, power, cunning.
The characteristics of the dragon are vividly portrayed on the sculpture.
The first time he saw it, it gave Ji Xun a strong visual impact and inner shock.
This statue is not carved casually.
It was the Dragon God who had many titles, including ‘The Colossus of Despair and Eternity’, ‘Lord of the Forgotten Kingdom’, ‘Creator of All Dragons’, ‘Shaper of Dragon Civilization’, etc. - Ariel!
The most supreme existence in the Arel Empire!
The lifespan of a true dragon is long, usually thousands of years.
And the lifespan of a god-level dragon is beyond the cognition of ordinary humans.
It is said that this dragon god has lived for at least tens of thousands of years.
Just looking at this statue, a heavy sense of history and mystery comes to mind.
Every student who sees the statue of the dragon god can't help but stop protecting his chest and salute.
This is the dragon's power from the blood level, which is difficult to bear for non-dragon descendants.
This is one of the most important reasons why Ji Xun dared not come in with his body.
Every corner of the academy is hidden with various magic barriers and traps, and outsiders can easily be exposed inadvertently.
Not long after, a group of students changed into the classic aristocratic red and black uniforms and gathered in the spacious auditorium.
The interior of the academy is also somewhat similar to Ji Xun's school in his previous life. On the walls are hung portraits of outstanding mentors of all generations.
However, those who can be hung on the walls are at least top-level card masters of the eighth and ninth levels.
And most of them are still alive.
This is the heritage of the Royal Academy of Arel.
Here, students can access the best extraordinary resources in the world, and there are also real top-level masters to guide the way of cultivation.
Ji Xun looked at the portraits of those masters and had a lot of thoughts.
His sixth level is already considered first-class in the East Wilderness.
But here, it is not worth mentioning.
This place not only continues the inheritance left by the Talenka civilization, but also the inheritance of the dragon civilization and various ancient civilizations hidden deep in the Warcraft Forest.
In Ji Xun's eyes, this is a super-dimensional space with various treasures.
The risk is huge, but the reward is also huge!
The procedures of the Royal Academy's freshman opening ceremony every year are almost fixed.
It is to get to know the senior management of the academy, test qualifications, divide classes, and assign tutors.
The dean is a kind-looking old man, a genuine ninth-level master.
The old man showed his face and gave some official speeches about academics without borders and praising the great dragon god.
Then there were speeches by the senior management of the five major academies of warriors, mages, priests, assassins, and mystics.
Those who were qualified to sit in front of the podium in the auditorium were all formal students of Sack who had high noble status.
Ji Xun and other reserve knights gathered in a square formation in the back.
The young nobles were bored, but Ji Xun listened with great interest.
The content of the speeches by these college leaders sounded like empty talk to the young students.
But in Ji Xun's current realm, if you taste it carefully, it is all kinds of wise sayings.
Those top masters used the simplest language to express what they saw in the extraordinary and supreme realm.
It was not the first time that Ji Xun felt this kind of enlightenment of being pointed out by others.
But it was the first time that he encountered so many super-level masters pointing out at the same time, the feeling of feeding food in his mouth.
It felt great.
It was already a few hours later when all the procedures of the opening ceremony were completed.
Then it was the last process, which was to assign class tutors and resources according to the entrance test of the new students.
Because the entrance test is different every year, the rewards are also different.
Before that, no one knew what would happen.
The young nobles didn't care. After all, the family's training resources were enough. No matter what the academy rewarded, it was dispensable to them.
But for the reserve knights, this might be their closest chance to top-level training resources.
On the stage, a bearded instructor was reading the test report.
The reserve knights below the stage also listened carefully.
"The seventh reserve knight team of the Black Dragon Royal Family, the trial evaluation is A, and the reward is A-level extraordinary resources."
"The thirteenth reserve knight team of the Red Dragon Royal Family, the trial evaluation is A+, and the reward is A+ level resources."
"The first reserve knight team of Duke Simon, the trial evaluation is B+"
"The ninth reserve guard team of Count Sith, the trial evaluation is C"
"The guard team of Count Godo, the trial evaluation is D, unqualified, and the research funds will be halved for one semester"
"."
There are thousands of various guard teams scattered around.
But in general, the higher the title, the stronger the guard team is usually, and the higher the trial evaluation is.
It is called a trial evaluation, but it is actually more like a ranking of the strength of the guard team.
Although the nobles didn't care about the little reward, they would be very happy to hear that their own guards were rated far higher than others, especially for nobles of equal title.
In the square formation, Ji Xun also listened carefully to the names of those teams.
He habitually wrote down the information of everyone around him, and these could be used as real references for deduction in the event of future conflicts.
However, as the people on the stage were reading, suddenly everyone in the audience seemed to have heard something incredible and fell silent.
"Duke Langdon's Knights Team 16, Trial Rating S Reward Fifty-two Magic Secret Basic Secrets One Book!"
As soon as these words came out, the huge auditorium fell silent.
Not everyone had heard about Sack's assassination.
And even if they had heard about it, not everyone knew what happened.
The entire assassination incident was deliberately kept secret by the Langdon family and the college.
So when they heard the "S" rating, everyone's expressions were the same as their thoughts, and they were all shocked and speechless.
The entrance test is a ranking of strength, which is recognized by everyone.
But usually, the royal legion guards of the three kingdoms would have the best trial results.
Just like this year, the three royal reserve knight teams, Red Dragon, Black Dragon, and Silver Dragon, almost all received "A+" evaluations.
It has been like this for thousands of years, with very few exceptions.
However, just now.
What did you hear?
An inconspicuous team from the Duke of Langdon's Mansion actually received an S-level evaluation in the trial?
There is absolutely no trick in the assessment of the Royal Academy. It is a comprehensive evaluation based on the trial situation by the academy tutor.
This means that the Langdon team performed better than the three royal teams in the trial and received the only "S-level evaluation" for the freshman trial, which has not appeared in at least the past ten years?
Of course, the most excited to hear this news is a certain five-member team.
Gang Duoduo, Ceri, Gale, Zhuo Sha, and Ji Xun.
David is a slave and is not eligible for rewards. He is neither happy nor sad.
Even Ji Xun was surprised.
He was not surprised that the previous trial evaluation was high.
To survive after being restrained by a second-level assassin in that situation, luck and strength are indispensable, and it is almost impossible for other teams to do it.
Even the three royal families.
What surprised him was that the rewards of the Royal Academy were so luxurious?
They actually took out the fifty-two magic secrets as rewards?
Although I know that this is a means for the academy to encourage students to study hard, but the priceless magic secrets are rewarded just like that?
As far as Ji Xun knows, it is very difficult for even old students to get the magic secrets, and they often have to rank among the top in various assessments to have a chance.
Those who can get such rewards will all be successful and famous in the future.
But now it is awarded to some low-level knights through a freshman trial?
Although it is an entry-level formula, it feels a bit too extravagant.
Ji Xun always feels that this sudden increase in assessment rewards may have a lot to do with the recent treacherous situation in the southern continent.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he soon accepted it calmly.
He came to the Royal Academy for those extraordinary resources.
Ji Xun was also very curious about what kind of magic secrets he could get.
The opening ceremony, which was originally as boring as in previous years, caused quite a stir because of the sudden S-level trial evaluation.
Not only were the young masters and young ladies of the various dukes' houses jealous, but the princesses and princes of the three royal families felt even more ashamed.
However, after the subsequent whispers, everyone also figured out some things.
The situation of the Langdon family is indeed different this year. The duke's house has established a principality in the old continent, attracting many talents.
It seems understandable that a few freaks suddenly appeared.
The school probably wanted to stimulate the competitive psychology of the new students so that everyone would be more motivated to learn in the future teaching, so they blocked everyone and announced the reward plan.
All are multiple choice.
Let the five people in the team choose by themselves.
Gang Duoduo's reward is the exclusive magic secret of the [Ace of Spades-Black Knight] sequence, which is known as the "Infinite Barrier" that is not hurt by all kinds of methods.
Seri's reward is the exclusive magic secret of the element manipulator sequence "Super Element Perception".
Gale's reward was the magic secret "Flash" exclusive to the assassin sequence.
Zhuo Sha's reward was the magic secret "Resurrection Sacrifice" exclusive to the priest sequence.
And Ji Xun, his original character was the wisdom path [Club 5-Polynomist] sequence, but the academy lacked the magic secret of this sequence.
He chose another one, the "Gluttony" breathing method!
This is not the secret method that Ji Xun knew before.
Gong Wu had said before that the Gluttony Secret Method he knew was only a part of the inheritance, and it was only the part about the basic introduction of elemental breathing.
The other part about the absorption of laws is in the southern continent, which is the part of the Royal Academy's collection!
Ji Xun's previous goal was to get the other half of the Gluttony Breathing Method.
I didn't expect it to be so easy to touch.
This breathing method is also highly compatible with his polymath sequence.
Five magic secrets were given out at once, which made those who were also preparing knights in the audience particularly jealous.
Fifty-two magic secrets can be said to be the ultimate reward that ordinary knight students can get in the Royal Academy.
No one expected that this year's reward would be so generous.
Even the members of the Reserve Knights of the Duke of Langdon's Palace were extremely envious.
Seeing the ordinary Ji Xun and the other five standing on the podium to receive the award, jealous eyes swept across their faces like needles.
Even the extremely thick-skinned dwarf Gang Duoduo felt like sitting on pins and needles.
Ji Xun looked normal. Since he had received such a great benefit, it was understandable to be jealous.
And he also guessed that this was deliberately arranged by the hospital.
However, at this time, some people in the audience finally couldn't help it. Many people stood up and said, "We don't accept it! Why can they get an S rating! Our team is not worse than theirs. If it is the same trial, we can do it too!"
Ji Xun glanced at the person who spoke up. He had deliberately remembered the person who spoke up before, and he happened to know him.
It was none other than the 13th Reserve Knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family, which was rated "A+" this year.
As soon as someone started, people stood up to protest one after another.
"Yes! We don't accept it!"
"We don't accept it either! How can they get the magic secrets! Although we are rated A, our strength is definitely not worse than theirs!"
"."
It's not entirely because of jealousy. Some of them are the enemies of the Langdon family, and they are deliberately targeting them.
More importantly, there are indeed some areas in the assessment that can cause misunderstandings.
The content of the assessment changes every year, and the content of the trial for each team is different. Just like the college entrance examination papers in Ji Xun's previous life, the questions were divided into regions, and they were not the same set of questions, so it was normal to have objections.
The "subjective score" of the Royal Academy's assessment evaluation accounted for a high proportion.
However, it was a comprehensive consideration, and no one would question the college tutor.
According to the habits of previous years, the normal ranking of the title was high, and no one said anything.
But this year, an apprentice knight from the Landon family suddenly suppressed the three kingdoms, which was unacceptable.
A wave of protests broke out from the audience.
The five people from the Landon family also became the target of public criticism on the stage.
Except for Ji Xun, the other four were panicked.
Seeing that it was about to become impossible to end, another tutor from the college came out to smooth things over: "Or... just solve it according to the rules of the college?"
Everyone agreed with this.
The way the Dragonborn deal with conflicts and disputes is simple and rough, that is, to resolve them by force.
Duel is the most common way to resolve conflicts among the aristocracy in the southern continent.
The Royal Academy still has such a tradition.
Ji Xun and his five companions are just one team, and of course they can't fight against these hundreds of teams.
Finally, it was decided that the S team of the Langdon family and the A+ team of the Red Dragon royal family would have a friendly exchange.
Ji Xun and his five companions were also helpless.
Although they didn't want to agree.
But the academy said that no matter whether they win or lose, the original rewards will remain the same.
If they win, the rewards will be increased.
And if the Red Dragon wins, it will also get an S rating.
Ji Xun didn't expect that he would encounter such trouble on the first day of school.
However, looking at the generous rewards of the academy, he suddenly felt that it was not bad to show his face.
If you lose, you will make a profit.
If you win, wouldn't the increased rewards be more attractive?
Anyway, they are just some trainee guards, and they can accept winning or losing;
The one who can withstand the most pressure is still the young master Sack.
