Bilina smiled and walked in front of us, joyfully sizing up Yuki several times, making Yuki's tender face turn bright red before withdrawing her gaze, and smiling coquettishly: "Ah... indeed the latest rising star with super talent and superhuman strength!"
She paused for a moment, then continued: "You guys shouldn't take it to heart with my old man, he's always been like that, he didn't mean to scold you, his personality, you must have heard something about it, his mouth is a bit bad, but in fact, he doesn't have any malice in his heart!"
Feyal looked embarrassed and scratched his head, unable to say a word, apparently acknowledging Belinas' description of himself.
Seeing how silly he is, we immediately forgave him. As long as it's not intentional insult, we generally accept verbal remarks and are not petty people.
Not only that, the other party's straightforward and pleasant personality immediately gained our favor. I like people who dare to love and hate, speak their mind, and never hide or conceal anything. This is what it means to be true to oneself!
Seeing our pale faces, Belina smiled slightly and said: "To be honest with you, from your first exam, we have been paying attention to you. The old man and I have already discussed it, and the two of us want to take you as apprentices separately. How about it? Are you willing?"
After hearing Belinda's words, the two of us were shocked. Such a good thing, we still heard it for the first time, no wonder everyone says that Jie Tian City is a city of strange encounters. Could it be... those legends are true?
I don't dare to slack off, both I and Bing Yu nodded quickly. Such a good thing, who wouldn't be willing? If someone really didn't want to, why would they come here? Wherever we should go, we'll just go.
Just as I was excitedly nodding my head, Fei Yu suddenly spoke up beside me: "Old lady, why do I think your students are smarter than mine? Take a look at that kid in red, he's completely clueless, but at least your Bing Yu reacts faster!"
After hearing Feuer's words, my face suddenly turned sour, was my performance that bad? When did I become a silly goose! Such "praise" I've never accepted in my life!
Glancing sideways, Bing Yu was laughing at Fei Er's description of me, and suddenly... my mood started to feel depressed. I, who had always thought of myself as a genius, when did I become equal to a silly bird?
I kept my mouth shut and didn't say a word, many things, the more you talk about them, the worse they get. If I seriously argued with him for a few sentences and said I wasn't stupid, then I would be the real stupid bird.
As expected... Seeing my calm face, with a hint of a smile and not a trace of displeasure, both Belina and Fier were simultaneously shocked. A person who can put on such an act, if they're not really stupid, must be incredibly intelligent!
"The sound of the icy rain faintly echoed: 'I can responsibly tell you, anyone who dares to underestimate Cold Mo will regret it. I, Aisuren, have never put anyone in my eyes, but he is absolutely an exception. If there's one person in this world who can surpass me, that person must be Cold Mo!"
Upon hearing Ice Rain's words, the two of them simultaneously felt a jolt. They could both tell that Ice Rain was an arrogant person, but... what kind of person would be able to make an arrogant person like him say such things?
After thinking for a long time, Bilina smiled and nodded slightly, saying calmly: "Let's not talk about these things for now, time can prove everything. For now... let's issue the assembly order, I think... time will give Kolm a most fair proof!"
An hour later, more than 200 examinees gathered on the not-too-large mountain top. These people were all mentally exhausted and fearful, standing far away from me and Bing Yu, as if they had seen a tiger.
Seeing their flustered appearance, Ice Rain and I couldn't help but smile at the same time. We knew that the slaughter from a while ago would probably make us the objects of their greatest fear forever.
Seeing all this, Belina and Feya couldn't help but exchange a bitter smile. These students were too disappointing, being scared like that by two kids. It seemed... the top student of this realm would undoubtedly be born between Leng Mo and Bing Yu.
Fayol made a speech announcing that all 246 candidates present were admitted and would become students of the Arbitration Academy.
Upon hearing this news, all the examinees seemed not too excited, but instead appeared more worried, with a bitter expression on their faces.
What Ice Rain and I didn't know was that from this moment on, the titles of Blue Demon and Red Demon had already been bestowed upon us.
After announcing the start date and things to prepare, under Fei Yu's lead, we returned to school through a hidden teleportation array on the mountain top, and then dispersed one by one.
Bing Yu remembered the wind-dried meat and melon porridge in my space bag, and once again followed me back to my little nest without being invited. After a night of feasting, it wasn't until dawn the next day that we parted ways.
There's only one week left before the school break, and now I'm worried about how to make money to pay back the debt of 10 purple crystals to Bing Yu. Although he has never mentioned wanting me to repay him, I couldn't just pretend not to know or remember!
Originally... selling the dried mango in the bag would have basically paid back the money, but then what would I eat and drink? Not to mention that after school starts, there are still many fees to pay.
Site usage fees, experimental material fees, teacher tutoring fees, school uniform fees, campus greening fees... The more you count, the more money you need to pay. Arbitration College is not a place where poor people can afford to attend.
Helpless, I locked the door and started wandering on the streets again to see what I could do to make some money as soon as possible.
I walked for a whole morning, but I got nothing. Whether it's on this earth or in this world, if you don't have any skills, making money is too difficult. But what skills do I have? What can I use to make money?
Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!
Just as I was lost in thought, the sound of ironwork from a blacksmith's shop by the road suddenly woke me up. I turned my head back in surprise and saw that inside an ancient and simple blacksmith's shop, a muscular blacksmith was sweating profusely as he forged this piece of weaponry.
I curiously walked into this blacksmith shop, and wow! He's made quite a few weapons, they're all hung on the wall, even the two weapon racks beside it are fully stocked. You could say he's a prolific blacksmith, and such blacksmiths are rare among dwarves.
Curious, I walked over to the weapon rack and picked up a long sword with a decent shape. As soon as I lightly plucked it, a dull hum sounded, and my eyebrows furrowed tightly.
What is this? Is it a toy or an ornament? Can such a sword be used for battle? One stick can break two, is... This is a toy store, or is it a decoration store?
Just as he was in a state of confusion, the blacksmith apparently discovered that the customer had arrived and eagerly came over, wiping his hands on his apron while chuckling and saying: "Sir, you've taken a liking to this sword? Haha... You really have an eye for things! This is my masterpiece, I'm not bragging, but in all of Jietian City, there aren't many people who can forge a fine sword like this!"
I stared at the blacksmith beside me in astonishment and asked uncertainly: "You... this sword, is it for fighting with others?"
The blacksmith was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said: "Of course... or did you think it's just a toy or decoration?"
As he spoke, the blacksmith took the long sword from my hand and stroked the blade with his fingers, saying to me: "You see... this sword is so sharp, made of high-purity fine steel. Try the feel of it in your hand, it's absolutely a deadly weapon!
Oh no!
Facing the blacksmith's self-praise, for a moment I didn't know what to say. I really wanted to tell him that this is just a toy decoration, but would saying so be too hurtful?
I hesitated and said to the blacksmith, "This... do you have a better sword than this one? This... I don't really like this sword..."
The blacksmith nodded in approval, gave me a thumbs up and said: "Indeed, you're a connoisseur! Alright, I'll show you my best sword. This is the finest treasure sword I've ever forged! Just wait for a moment!"
As he spoke, the blacksmith quickly walked into the inner room and soon came out with a dark sword in his hand, proudly saying: "Hehe... take a look at this one, it's absolutely a masterpiece! I plan to sell it at the auction three days later, but... you're so connoisseur, as long as you can offer a suitable price, I'll sell it to you!"
"Brothers, after a whole week of waiting, it's finally here. Starting from today, I will begin to lift the ban, just like I promised earlier. Two chapters will be lifted every day, one at 12 noon and another at 9 pm. Everyone must show their support, hehe... Hope everyone can help me spread the word to more friends."
Also... I think everyone has noticed that from today on, this book has started to be promoted, I hope everyone will pay attention to this book every day and vote for it, I will definitely work hard to write a better work that everyone likes!
Finally, don't be late for tonight's add-precision conference, everyone. After 12 o'clock tonight, all comments will be added with precision, and it will continue until there is no more precision to add.
