Chapter 8: The Arrogant Capital

  The next day, in Prince Ceylon's luxurious carriage.

  Xingyou, Leizi and Xiaoyu are luxuriously enjoying royal-grade red tea and pastries.

  Cerlon watched as the three of them wolfed down their food without any courtesy, completely disregarding their status as princes.

  Looking out of the window, in his line of sight, the city wall that was like a sea and sky in one line slowly appeared before his eyes.

  It's been half a day since morning in the carriage, have we finally arrived?

  Berros city famous for Berros College.

  "Sei Yū, Sei Kō, Ruisu. We've finally been able to see it! The city of Beruze where one of the Three Great Academies of the Kingdom, Beruze Academy is located."

  Sei Yū gazed out the window at the endless, massive city walls. Was this really Berros City, where Berros Academy was located?

  Cerol asked, "Are you planning to sign up for Berros Academy first or play around in Berros City first?"

  Xing Yu subconsciously wanted to answer, and definitely would go to register at Beross Academy first.

  But the words that were about to come out of her mouth suddenly froze, because there was another tear, from a woman who had never asked for anything for herself.

  It's already taken two whole days to get to Berrios Academy, and now that we're finally in Berrios City, I should take Tear on a tour.

  It's already sunset now, and if I sign up, there won't be time to take the Berrios exam either. Let's settle it early tomorrow morning.

  Lingzi had already helped Xingyou make a decision: "Let's go to Berros Academy first, after we've taken care of our business, we can sightsee then."

  Sei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tear: "Dummy, as a master, you don't have to mind me so much. If you want to sign up and experience the Bellows Academy, just go. I also want to experience this magic academy!"

  Xing You's helpless smile summoned Tear, which was Xing You's greatest fortune.

  "Sorry to trouble you, Seron, but we plan to head to Berrios Academy to sign up first."

  "No need to be so polite, let's go register and take the exam at Beross Academy first."

  Following Serlon, wanting to enter Berros city, there is no pressure at all.

  And just as Prince Ceron's carriage entered Beross City, the steward Rapes, who was driving the carriage, received a secret letter.

  Laplace stopped the carriage, knocked on the door, and when Saron opened it, he respectfully handed over this secret letter.

  Xing You was able to clearly observe that on this secret letter, there was a strange magical seal.

  It's better not to know some things.

  But Seron calmly opened this sealed letter.

  Looking at the content on the secret letter, a hint of surprise actually appeared.

  "How dare Beiros Academy be so bold this year and adopt such an entrance exam?"

  。。。。。。

  In the large martial arts arena of Beross Academy, this place temporarily serves as the location for the entrance exam.

  A giant over two meters tall, with explosive muscles all over his body, densely covered in fine scars, and a large bald head with a long scar.

  This tall figure who gave immense psychological pressure to newborns was Wood Willy, the chief examiner of Bellrose Academy!

  As the chief examiner, Wu sat quietly there, looking at those new students taking the entrance exam one by one, with a gloomy face.

  Looking out at the sunset slowly falling outside the door, as if wandering on the edge of a violent rage.

  The entire examination hall was filled with examinees, yet it was eerily quiet, as if they were afraid of provoking the motionless king.

  But a girl wearing a snow-white suspenders dress, with golden wavy shoulder-length hair and sky-blue pupils, like a doll.

  But went straight to the gloomy-faced Wood and asked: "Director Wood, have you found any good seedlings?"

  Looking at the girl in front of him, Wood's gloomy face dissipated a lot, revealing a deep sense of helplessness.

  "Liliana, is that you? Not a single one! Although Berros College is considered one of the three major academies in the kingdom, it has been on a downward trend all along."

  "Every year, the Inter-Academy Exchange Tournament, which represents the highest honor of the Kingdom Academy, we have been miserably defeated by Kate and Wansed Academies. For nearly a decade, we have been third place for eight years, and even fell to fourth and fifth place for two years. Unable to become the first in the kingdom, we cannot participate in the continental Inter-Academy Exchange Tournament."

  Liliana gazed at the freshmen who were about to duel with the seniors: "So, in order to wash away this shame and re-enter the Continental Academy Exchange Tournament, Principal Enbas finally steeled himself and changed our admissions system. He got rid of those useless written exams and now it's all about actual strength. I hope that through this reform, we can recruit a few talented students who can be fully cultivated, but unfortunately, there's no way to find them?"

  Woods looked at Liriana who surprisingly came to the recruitment scene in person.

  She is currently at Bellows College and can even be said to be the strongest among all freshmen in Bellows College.

  Bailuz is the ace of participating in college exchanges, and she can even be considered one of the strongest personal strengths among various colleges in the kingdom.

  However, the college exchange match was a team battle, and individual strength couldn't represent everything. Due to her teammates' complete defeat, Liana-led Bellrose College stopped at third place.

  So Wood applied to be the chief examiner, hoping to find one or two good seeds that could grow up before Liliana graduated and wipe away the shame and losing streak of Bellrose Academy.

  But day after day of expectation turned into day after day of despair. Is it really impossible for a few new students to change Bellos College?

  Just at this moment, Mingming was about to reach the end of today's enrollment time, but two men and two women strolled in.

  These two men and two women are Xingyou, Xingku, Cailong and Leizi.

  Wu De looked at the four people who were quarreling and his mood which had been depressed for many days finally burst out in fury.

  A loud shout, like a thunderclap on a dry day: "You four over there who are making trouble, what are you doing here? Don't you know this is an examination room?"

  Xingyou and Xiaoxiao were suddenly frightened, Lianzi was a bit embarrassed, while Selon looked somewhat gloomy.

  Proudly staring at Wood: "What are we doing? We must have come here to sign up for the entrance exam of Bellrose Academy!"

  Wu De was stunned for a moment, this young man was so arrogant, dare to talk back? Interesting!

  "So I think you should know that this year's entrance exam for Bellrose Academy has been reformed. As long as you can prove your strength, you will be able to enter Bellrose Academy!"

  Cerlon, who was scolded as soon as he came, had been unhappy in his heart. He confronted Wood head-on: "So how do we prove our strength? By knocking you down?"

  "We have no interest in bullying old people."

  Still in his prime, Wu was for the first time referred to as "Old Man".

  A smile with a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth: "So confident? Then let me be your opponent, and test your strength!"

  Although it was the first meeting, the gunpowder flavor was extremely strong.

  Liliana stepped out to mediate: "Teacher Wood, if you were to come, it would be impossible to test their strength. So let me do it!"

  Wood looked at Liriana who surprisingly suggested going into battle personally for the first time.

  "Well then, let Liliana be your opponent, and all four of you can go at it together. That might be a bit more interesting."

  Cailin, Xingyou, and Xingkui were stunned at once, and subconsciously looked towards Lüzǐ beside them.

  Although Liliana looks like she should be about as old as Tear, could her abilities possibly be on the same level?

  Are you going together? Tear could possibly destroy the entire Berros Academy by herself!

  Tears looked at Liriana and Wood with a confident face, apart from Toma and Ippo, how many people dare to underestimate Souten no Ko!

  The tone suddenly became extremely serious: "I am not a examinee, barely considered a demon, and I don't like bullying the weak."

  The strong's confidence and arrogance were laid bare: "You guys who aren't even LV5 yet don't have the qualifications to test my strength!"

  A girl under twenty years old, actually said she didn't have the qualifications to test her strength?

  Wu De looked at the arrogant children in front of him, with a disdainful and crazy laugh.

  "It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting kid, so let's talk with strength!"

  The despised Tear, without any explanation of desire, simply raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

  Xing You and Xiao Qing noticed that a hint of green light flashed through Lianzi's eyes. Adding to that, the finger-snapping gesture, they were shocked and lost their color!

  Two people hastily stepped forward in front of Soten no Koishi, who had a hint of anger on her face.

  "Leizi, do you want to destroy the entire Beross Academy? We can take action now."

  Destroy Berrios Academy, Liriana and Wood thought it was a joke, but Seron could guess the meaning of this sentence.

  Can a single blow destroy Berrios Academy? Truly worthy of being called a strong one who even Laplace fears.

  So!

  "Celron took a step forward: 'Liliana, the undisputed strongest student of Bellrose Academy. A rare lightning system mage with considerable strength, stunning looks, and noble lineage, she's the center of attention at Bellrose Academy. One of the top geniuses in the entire kingdom, she was last year's dark horse in the student exchange tournament.'"

  Wood looked at Seron who spat out Liliana's information in an instant, knowing Liliana's strength, yet still so arrogant?

  But a dangerous glint appeared in Seron's twin pupils, still haughty as ever.

  "Don't be too arrogant, in front of Miss Lian, you are nothing!"

  "Well then, let me and Xing You witness your strength!"

  Cailon actually intended to take on Liliana alone, but he was more interested in knowing Xingyou's true strength.

  Just how strong is he, who can summon such a powerful familiar?

  Liliana's carefree mood had vanished completely, for she knew her identity and strength, yet the people in front of her remained just as arrogant.

  So it seems they really don't put a single mage in their eyes at all.

  I myself am nothing in front of a woman of similar age?

  Liliana also had her own pride and she wanted to verify the strength of the people in front of her with her own eyes.

  Wu De noticed something even more important - that girl called Leizi actually claimed to be a demon?

  If she is a demon, then among these three people, there must be a summoner!

  A rare occupation's summoner, a glimmer of hope ignited in Wu's heart, perhaps this time he really picked up a treasure!

  Liliana walked to the center of the martial arts arena, tore apart her long skirt, and tied back that wavy golden hair.

  Wu De knows what this move represents, Liliana is ready to go all out!

  "Liliana took a deep breath: 'Well then, let me see your proud capital!'"
