The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 3 Spring Hunting Trial
"From now on, I will be Sauron!"

After accepting the fact of time travel, Su Lun took a deep breath and decided to live as Su Lun.

Then, he began to organize the memories in his mind.

"Olens, Western Territory, Night Crow City!"

A trace of thought appeared on Sauron's face. The disappearance of Orens, the lord of Night Crow City, was the main reason for his poisoning.

As for the mastermind behind the scenes, there is a high probability that they are the nobles in the western region.

It's just that Sauron doesn't know who made the shot, but one thing is certain, that is, the other party will never let it go.

The poisoning plan failed this time, and the next time it will be unknown what method it will be.

Boom boom boom!
Just as Sauron was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Sauron's heart skipped a beat, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face. He had just dissolved the toxins in his body, and he was still in a weak state.

"It's me, Ron."

The door was pushed open, and a young man walked in. He was dressed in linen clothes, had an ordinary appearance, short light blond hair on his head, and looked up and down at Sauron.

"Is it better? Sauron."

A trace of concern appeared on Ron's face, and he said, "I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed back from outside immediately, how do you feel now?"

"Thank you, Ron."

Sauron nodded, trying to maintain the tone of the original owner as much as possible, while quickly recalling in his mind, searching for information about the boy in front of him.

Like himself, Ron is also a member of the Holy Knight Academy.

However, the other party was not from aristocratic background, but from a commoner merchant family, and he joined the Holy Knight Academy relying on wealth and talent.

On weekdays, Ron and Sauron have a good relationship.

At the Holy Knight Academy, he was Sauron's best friend. The two of them had nothing to say at first, but now seeing Ron again, he felt a little wary in his heart.

However, Sauron did not show it.

"It wasn't fine before, why suddenly..."

Ron sat by the bed, with hesitation on his face, and whispered, "Is it because of your father's disappearance?"

The disappearance of the lord of Night Crow City is no longer a secret.

Earlier, Sauron also told Ron that the other party comforted him not to worry too much, saying that with the strength of the lord of Night Crow City, nothing would happen easily.

"maybe."

Sauron nodded without denying it.

Ron opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He was just a commoner. Even if he joined the Holy Knights, he would not be able to intervene in the disputes in the western region.

"That's right, Sauron."

After a brief moment of silence, Ron changed the topic and said, "In half a month or so, it will be the day of the spring hunting trial. How are you preparing?"

"I heard that this year's Spring Hunting Trial, Lord Red Knight will also participate!"

"If you perform outstandingly in the trial, you might even get advice from the Red Knight. This is a rare opportunity!"

"Spring Hunting Trial?"

Sauron frowned slightly, and a flash of memory flashed in his mind, and then he remembered about the Spring Hunting Trial.

That is the tradition of the Holy Knight Academy. Every year during the recovery season, a hunting trial will be held in the gray forest as a test for the students.

Now, less than a month has passed since the Spring Hunting Trial.

The Holy Knight Academy attaches great importance to this, and plans to invite the Red Knight to participate in order to motivate the students of the Spring Hunting Trial.

"Being able to invite the Red Knight to participate shows how much the academy attaches great importance to this spring hunting trial!"

A trace of longing appeared on Ron's face, and his eyes flickered: "If nothing else happens, the ranking rewards for this year's Spring Hunting Trial must be very generous."

"I don't have a chance."

As he said that, Ron shrugged his shoulders and said half-jokingly: "However, you have to work hard! With your archery skills, if you are lucky, you may be able to rank in the Spring Hunting Trial!"

"It's that easy."

Sauron shook his head. There are hundreds of students participating in the Spring Hunting Trial held by Holy Radiance Academy every year. It is not an easy task to get a ranking.

"Okay, don't bother you anymore."

Seeing that Sauron was depressed, Ron shook his head and said softly, "No matter what happens, we are all friends!"

"Don't stress too much, just take a good rest."

With that said, Ron turned and left.

"Could it be you, Ron."

Looking at the back of Ron leaving, Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, he had experienced life and death once, and now he doesn't trust anyone.

The seemingly friendly Ron may not express the true emotions.

You know, in this world, as long as there are enough interests, even blood relatives may kill each other, not to mention, Ron and himself are just friends.

"In a short time, nothing should happen again."

Sauron shook his head, thoughts flickered in his mind, he had just experienced a poisonous killing, and the black hand behind the scenes should not take any action in a short time.

After all, Shenghui Academy has a royal background, even the nobles of the western region dare not be too presumptuous.

In a short period of time, as long as Sauron stays in the academy, there shouldn't be too much danger, but it's not certain how long this state can last.

Moreover, the Spring Hunting Trial is less than a month away.

"Spring Hunting Trial!"

Sauron muttered to himself, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

The Spring Hunting Trial is a tradition of Shenghui Academy. Unless there are special circumstances, all students must participate, and the hunting process is often accompanied by unknown risks.

Therefore, if the mastermind behind the scenes wants to attack Sauron, the Spring Hunting Trial is obviously a good opportunity.

After all, every year during the Spring Hunting Trial, there will be some casualties in Shenghui Academy. As long as the methods of the mastermind behind the scenes are more secretive, no one will delve into how Sauron died.

Thinking of this, Sauron took a deep breath.

"We must improve our strength as much as possible before the Spring Hunting Trial!"

Sauron's eyes flickered, and he made up his mind that if he wanted to survive the trial in the near future, he had to make himself stronger.

At the same time, only by becoming stronger can he have more value.

The reason why Sauron was poisoned to death did not attract the attention of the academy, because he did not show any value other than his identity as the son of the lord of Night Raven City.

If Sauron is extremely talented, even if he loses the backing of the lord of Night Crow City, the senior management of the Holy Knight Academy will protect him.

At that time, as long as Sauron graduated successfully as a knight, with the support of Holy Radiance Academy, it would be a matter of course for him to inherit Night Crow City.
