The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 9 Ambush in the Forest
"It looks like the rumors are true!"

A trace of excitement also appeared on Ron's face, and he said, "For this year's spring hunting trial, the Academy really invited the red knight Myrcella."

In the same place, Sauron looked thoughtful.

This year's Spring Hunting Trial, Shenghui Academy seems to attach great importance to it. Even the red knight Mysera was invited to come, and I don't know why.

Five days passed quickly.

Recovery season, January, [-]th.

A round of sun rose in the distant sky, and the light was projected onto the earth. The ice and snow gradually melted, so that the ground became a little muddy.

Outside the royal city, the birch forest.

The day of the spring hunting trial arrived as scheduled. In an open field, hundreds of teenagers and girls in uniform gathered under the leadership of the academy instructors.

In the front, Myrcella with long hair like fire is particularly dazzling.

Beside him was a middle-aged man, wearing the leather armor of Shenghui Academy, with a gentle expression on his face, looking at the students.

"It's a great honor to invite Ms. Misera to participate in this year's Spring Hunting Trial!"

"I don't need to say more about the rules of the Spring Hunting Trial. As your mentor, I sincerely hope that each of you can achieve a good result!"

"Then now, I announce that the Spring Hunting Trial begins!"

After a simple opening remark, the middle-aged man announced the start of the Spring Hunting Trial.

The students entered the birch forest one after another. Here, they will have a one-day hunt, and finally they will be ranked according to the level of the prey. Those with excellent results will be rewarded by the Holy Radiance Academy, and the last ten people will also be awarded by Shenghui Academy dropout processing.

Under such rules, the students have a certain pressure.

In situ, Sauron looked calm.

Having been promoted to a knight, he naturally has no pressure on the Spring Hunting Trial, but this trial has another purpose for him.

Sauron turned his head and looked not far away.

There, Amos was looking over, with a sneer on his face, and the malice towards Sauron in his eyes.

After entering the birch forest, the students headed in different directions.

The area of ​​the entire forest is large enough for hundreds of people to start hunting. However, the prey in the periphery is very scattered. The deeper the prey is, the more dangerous it is.

"Sauron, are you sure you don't want to be with us?"

Next to it, Ron said that he had made an appointment with a few commoner students to form a hunting team long before the spring hunting trial started.

Ron also wanted to invite Sauron, but he refused.

For this trial, Sauron's goal is not just hunting, so walking with Ron and others will delay his actions.

"No."

Sauron shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "You know about my father, and being with me will probably hurt you."

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

Hearing Sauron's words, Ron hesitated slightly.

"Well, be careful yourself." After a while, Ron sighed, and under the urging of several companions, he also started hunting in one direction.

In the same place, Sauron was the only one left.

"Next, let's get started!"

Sauron's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked quickly towards the front, and soon dispersed with other students, approaching the depths of the birch forest.

In the forest, Sauron slowed down.

The surrounding environment is getting more and more complicated. Branches and dead vines are entwined on the ground, and a vulture is squatting on a tree not far away.

call out!
Sauron bent his bow and set an arrow, and quickly shot an arrow, with smooth movements, almost instantly hitting the vulture on the branch.

Flutter and rinse!
The vulture was hit by the arrow and let out a strange cry. It flapped its wings and fell from the tree. Sauron stepped forward and broke its neck.

"Fifteen?"

Sauron bent down and found an iron ring on the vulture's claw, engraved with the number fifteen, representing the points of the prey.

This is the rule of the Spring Hunting Trial.

Although the birch forest is outside the royal city, it does not belong to the wilderness. Many years ago, it was cleared by the Holy Radiance Academy. All the large monsters were killed, and the remaining beasts were of limited danger. .

Now, in the birch forest, all the beasts have an iron ring on their body.

According to the degree of danger of these beasts, the numbers on the hoops are different, the more dangerous the beast, the higher the numerical points it represents.

Every year during the Spring Hunting Trial, Shenghui Academy will use points to rank.

The higher the ranking of the students, the more rewards they will receive. Under such rules, all the students who participated in the Spring Hunting Trial went all out.

After finishing off the vulture, Sauron put away the iron ring.

Afterwards, he got up and left, and continued hunting in the forest. Relying on his bow and arrow skills, he killed several prey within half an hour.

At this time, Sauron had almost entered the depths of the birch forest.

In a clearing in the forest, he shot a green wolf with one arrow, and then he was about to go forward to take the iron ring, but he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The next moment, the sound of breaking through the air resounded!
On one side of Sauron's figure, an arrow shot to the ground, his tail feathers trembled slightly, and a student on a tree not far away thought it was a pity.

"Is it finally here?" Sauron's heart moved.

Around, Amos came out, and together with three other students, surrounded Sauron, with a malicious expression on his face.

"How is it? Master Sauron?"

Amos sneered, looked at the Qinglang corpse not far away, and said quietly: "It seems that your harvest is not bad?"

Sauron was expressionless.

"kill!"

A flash of killing intent flashed in Amos's eyes, and without another word of nonsense, he and the three people around him swarmed up and attacked Sauron with their swords in unison.

brush!
At the moment when the four of them attacked, Sauron also drew out his cross sword. His movements were sharp and swift, piercing through an enemy's chest like a ghost.

Amos' expression changed.

However, before he could react, Sauron had already struck again, the cross sword pierced the sky, and cut off the throat of another apprentice.

"how can that be?"

Amos turned pale with shock, an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Sauron's eyes, and he ignored the surprise of the other party, and jumped up in the air, piercing the last person's heart with his sword again.

laugh!
The cross sword pierced through flesh and blood, and the student let out a scream, with a dazed look on his face, as if he had died before he could react.

"Damn!"

At this time, Amos' face was pale, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he still roared and rushed towards Sauron.

Stab la la!
Sauron swung the cross sword and rubbed it against the Amos weapon, making a piercing sound, and at the same time quickly twisted his wrist and slashed out with the sword.

"what!!!"

Amos felt a sharp pain, but saw that his arm had been broken to the shoulder, and blood gushed out, which made him fall to his knees.
