The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 8
The sun rises in the east and shines brightly.

On the ground, the snow gradually melted, the cold wind in the morning blew through, and there was a burst of freshness in the air. On the training ground of Nuoda, the students were in groups of three and four.

Not far away, in an open space.

call out!
The arrow pierced through the air and hit the bull's-eye with precision. A smile appeared on Sauron's face, quite satisfied with the result.

After last night's rest, he has recovered.

After being promoted to the knight realm, Sauron's various physical statistics have been significantly improved, and even his bow and arrow skills have become more handy.

There are only five days left before the Spring Hunting Trial.

Even with the proficiency panel, it is impossible for Sauron to break through from the elementary knight level to the intermediate level in such a short period of time.

Therefore, for the remaining few days, he planned to suspend his breathing practice and strengthen his bow and sword practice.

Anyway, being promoted to the knight realm was enough for him to face the Spring Hunting Trial.

call out!call out!call out!
Sauron looked focused and continued to practice archery. The whole morning passed quickly, and the level of archery finally broke through.

"Ding! Archery upgrade!"

"Ding! Comprehend the skill: Bow and Archery·Hundred Step Piercing Yang!"

There was a sound in his ear, and Sauron's eyes flickered. He opened the data panel immediately, and a new line of information appeared in the skill bar.

Skill: [Archery · Hundred Steps Piercing Yang]!
Obviously this is a skill that Sauron comprehended after his archery was promoted to LV5, allowing him to shoot without fail within a hundred steps.

"try it!"

Sauron was eager to try, then bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at the furthest wooden target, and shot an arrow.

call out!
With the sound of piercing through the air, the arrow hit the bull's-eye with precision, the corners of Sauron's lips twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Good arrow!"

At this time, there was a burst of applause from the side, and Ron walked over, looking at the arrow that hit the bull's-eye in the distance, and sincerely admired it.

"Ron."

Sauron greeted with a chuckle, and said, "Why are you free to come to the training ground today? Are you done with your family affairs?"

The two have not seen each other for ten days since the last time they parted.

I heard that Ron's family business had some problems, so during this time, the other party hardly came to the training ground.

"not yet."

Ron shook his head and complained, "The southern border is getting more and more chaotic. Three caravans from my family have lost contact."

"I was going to stay home and help out."

"However, the Spring Hunting Trial is about to start. When my father found out, he drove me back and asked me to prepare in the few days left."

A trace of thought flashed across Sauron's face.

He had also heard about the turmoil in the southern border. It was said that it was caused by the serf uprising, but the deeper reason behind it was unknown.

Ron's father was a businessman, and his family controlled dozens of caravans.

Most of the trading locations of these caravans are in the southern border, and it is precisely because of this that the turmoil in the southern border has greatly affected Ron's family's business.

"Forget it, stop talking about it."

Ron waved his hand and said, "The spring hunting trial is about to start, and there are five days left, so let's prepare well!"

With that said, Ron drew out his cross sword.

"Come on, Sauron, train with me on swordsmanship!"

Sauron nodded slightly, and then drew out the cross sword, and the two began a swordsmanship duel, using the army-breaking swordsmanship taught by the Holy Radiance Academy.

Ding!Ding! !

The sound of metal clashing was endless, and the cross swords rubbed against each other.

For Sauron, who was promoted to a knight, it only took one round to defeat Ron. However, he did not do that in order to practice the swordsmanship of breaking the army. Instead, he suppressed his own strength and relied entirely on swordsmanship skills to fight, so the two fought well. Back and forth.

After dozens of rounds of confrontation, Ron stopped moving.

"call!"

Ron was out of breath, and his chest was heaving. Dozens of rounds of attacks were a great drain on his physical strength.

On the opposite side, Sauron was calm and relaxed.

After being promoted to the knight realm, his physical fitness has already changed, so the confrontation just now was just a warm-up for him.

Passive: [Breaking Army Swordsmanship Lv3 (25/100)]

Sauron's eyes flickered. After the bow and archery reached Lv5, it would take a lot of time to improve. Therefore, he planned to use all the remaining five days to practice the army-breaking swordsmanship.

Before the Spring Hunting Trial, it was enough to raise the level of Pojun's swordsmanship.

"Do you want to continue?" Sauron asked.

"Again?"

Ron's expression was a bit exaggerated, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me? If I do it again, I'm afraid I'm going to lie down and leave the training ground."

"But then again, what's the matter with you?"

As he said that, Ron frowned, looked at Sauron, and asked doubtfully, "You have been training for such a long time, why do you feel that you are not tired at all?"

"I don't even have a drop of sweat on my body."

"Who knows, maybe you are too imaginary?"

A hint of amusement appeared on Sauron's face, and he said, "I heard that a certain person often goes to and from Flower Street, playing until dawn every night before leaving."

"Uh……"

Ron blushed, and forced himself to quibble: "What? I don't even understand, I never go to that kind of place."

A hint of meaning flashed in Sauron's eyes.

Ron stood up, his face pretending to be calm, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that he wasted too much energy in Huajie, which made his body weak.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion on the training ground.

"It's the red knight Myrcella-sama!"

"My God! It's her!"

"Why did this lord come back to the academy? Could it be for this spring hunting trial?"

On the training ground, the students whispered.

Sauron also looked away, but saw a tall woman walking forward. She was wearing red leather armor, outlining a bumpy figure, and her long hair was like flames, exuding a powerful force. momentum.

Red Knight, Myrcella!
For this knight of Mysera, the students of the Holy Radiance Academy are well-known. Mysera, who was born as a commoner, was promoted to the knight realm when he was less than 15 years old, and within ten years after that, he broke through one after another and became a high-level knight. .

Three years ago, the Kingdom of Taal was at war with its neighbors.

On the border battlefield, Myrcella blocked the three high-level knights by himself, and became famous since then. Because of his long fiery red hair, he was called the Red Knight. He was summoned in person and was bestowed the title of nobility.

It can be said that although the red knight Myrcella is young, she is already a legendary figure.

Because of Myrcella's appearance, there was a commotion on the training ground, but the red knight seemed to be just passing by, and soon left surrounded by several academy instructors, but the students on the training ground were still excited Discuss each other.
