Arad's Sword

Chapter 16 Trial Results
"Clang...clang..."

Accompanied by the melodious bell sounded by magic, the Big Ben standing in the camp outside Gran's Forest crossed the last mark, and the annual academy trial finally reached the time limit.

"Now I declare that the academy's trials and tests are over." Dean Linde said in a resonant voice as if he had finally made up his mind as he glanced at the forest for the last time.The gate to the forest side of the camp was slowly closed, which meant that even if there were any teams coming out of the forest, they would lose their qualifications for ranking.

"That's the end? Where's the Queen of the Storm?" The students began to whisper. This doesn't mean that they all admire and care about Dai Fina, but the gesture of the red-haired girl reaching the top with ease every time is too much. It's conspicuous, but this time he was trapped in Gran's Forest, and he hasn't appeared so far. It's really strange.

Most people inferred that they were too deep to return in time, but there were also some who saw more far-sightedness and turned their attention to Fenrir's side, speculating on the means that the Seth family might use.

Under everyone's attention, the blond Fenrir stood upright, looking completely calm, but his heart was already surging.

Once the door is closed, everything is settled!
After entering the academy, she was suppressed by Fina for several years, but at this moment she turned the tables in the most important academy trial and won the crucial Nibelungen Dragon Sealing Formation job transfer reward, even if her eyes are always higher than the top. Fenrir, at this moment, is too excited.

As the first in line heir of the Seth family, at his level, many things—especially the dirty work—would never go into the details.It is enough for him to be ready to seize the opportunities created by the family at any time.

But this time, it was about Fina Hamilton, so Fenrir also paid special attention to it, so he knew very well that the absence of the Storm Queen was not just because of some minor hindrance, but a life-threatening threat.Judging from the current results, it is obvious that his family has already succeeded.

Thinking of the extremely arrogant red-haired girl and Midi who rebelled against him had already died under the sword of the killer, Fenrir couldn't help but a cruel and cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As for grades, he didn't have to worry at all.There are three domestic servants who have been trained since childhood and are very familiar with field battles. How can ordinary college students be opponents?

And just as he expected, soon, through the statistics of monster drops, Fenrir left the results of other teams far behind and became the undisputed leader.

"It has been confirmed that Fenrir's team has won No. 1 in the academy trial. Now, please come on stage." Dean Linde showed a flattering smile to Fenrir, and walked down the stairs himself, taking this The first heir of the Seth family came to the podium.

"Student Fenrir, from now on, it's your time." Dean Linde said meaningfully beside him.

Fenrir showed a gracious smile, nodded slightly, and walked to the center of the podium, while Dean Linde stood aside with great interest, looking like Fenrir's butler , appears humble and inconspicuous.

For an old fox like him, this is the way to survive.

And the high-spirited Fenrir couldn't wait to feel the awe from the audience.

At the moment without the restriction of the Queen of Storms, nothing can stop him.

He couldn't help but fantasize that it would be fine if Fina wasn't killed, but her vitality was seriously injured.

Aside from her incredible talent and stubborn personality, that eldest lady can be called the most beautiful woman in the Principality. If she could hold her in her arms, what kind of ecstasy would it be like?

Just as he was immersed in that charming situation, a sound of horseshoes beating deep in his soul came from far and near like a drumbeat, and then there were surprised shouts from the students.

"It's Miss Fina Hamilton!"

"The Storm Queen!"

"They're here!"

"What?" Fenrir seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, his whole body shook, and his face became extremely pale.

For a moment, he thought he heard it wrong, but the next moment, the bright red hair that flew up with the strong wind made his whole body stiff.

The one who is the leader of the four knights, isn't Fina? Who is Hamilton?
And the black-haired boy with extremely sharp eyes next to him, isn't it just Midi Asrex?
How can this be?

Did the assassination fail?But why didn't I get any news from my side, and even the family didn't have any voice?
"Principal Linde, it's a bit too sloppy to announce the test results so quickly?" Midi's ironic ridicule reached everyone's ears, "There are not enough people yet."

Dean Linde, who had just expressed his attitude in front of everyone, obviously didn't expect this to happen at all. He watched the group of people get off their horses in a daze, and the surrounding students receded to both sides like a row of sea water. , The four people who walked directly to the podium made him feel unprecedented pressure.

"This..." Dean Linde swallowed, his mind went blank.

He also noticed some rumors in advance, and the powerful Fina really didn't show up this time, so he made a judgment and chose the Seth family. Unexpectedly, all these changes were too fast.

"The trial is over. Even if you come now, you are already late. Fina Hamilton, the moment the bell rang, you were already out!" It was Fenrir who came to his senses first, after all, Old rival.

"Oh? Is that so?" The red-haired girl actually laughed, turning all beings upside down in an instant.

This is the contented smile when playing with prey. Midi has seen it many times in the previous life, and every time she can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, and this time is no exception.

Fenrir was also stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses immediately, and said sharply: "Could it be that you want to rely on the privileges of the nobles and threaten the academy to recalculate the grades? The Seth family and all the people of the Principality who yearn for justice, Will not agree!"

This is a flawless wording, however, before the situation that has already been arranged, it seems pale and weak.

Midi and Fina exchanged glances, and then they went directly to the podium and walked in front of Fenrir.

The black-haired boy quietly looked at the mortal enemy who ruined his family in the previous life, and said quietly: "Haven't you figured it out yet? We have already completed the trial."

"Huh? It's already been done?" Fenrir was about to laugh out loud, but suddenly got stuck.

By the way, Midi and the others did not come in from the closed side gate of the forest, but from the road leading to the capital, and they were riding horses.

what does that mean?This group of people may have returned to the capital, Hutton Mar, once before.

Why are they going back?What are you doing back home?What purpose do you have to come here now after the trial bell rang?
Fenrir suddenly felt that he had lost his direction, leaving only unknown and fear.

And then, he quickly knew the answer.

More hoofbeats sounded one after another. A group of Knights of the Principality, dressed in fine steel armor and holding spears and shields, entered from outside the camp in a neat two-row formation. The lecturers of the college surrounded them, and then dragged out one after another, and tied them up and handcuffed them in chains in front of all the students.

Watching this scene, Fenrir's face became paler and paler. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and even blood flowed out, but he didn't know it.

And Midi nodded in satisfaction.

These lecturers who were tortured away were pawns laid by the parliamentarian faction in this seemingly neutral academy over the years.

What any force needs most is fresh blood. As the largest magic academy in the principality, and at the same time holds the quota to use the Nibelungen Dragon Sealing Formation to transfer jobs, the Belmare Royal Academy of Magic is naturally the queen. The key point of contention between the faction and the parliamentarian faction.

That's why the councilor faction felt extremely dissatisfied with Fina's dominance over everyone, and then planned a conspiracy.

Therefore, at this moment, Midi chose to use this method as the biggest counterattack.

After finishing off those killers, Midi and his party hurried away and left Gran's Forest.Of course, picking the crown of the trial directly like that is undoubtedly an extremely refreshing choice, and at the same time, it can smoothly achieve the goal of obtaining the job transfer reward.

It's just that the job change alone is a big improvement for Midi and Fina personally, but how much change can it bring to the situation of the entire principality?

Whether it is the Great Fire of Grand Forest one year later, or the invasion of the Delos Empire two years later, they are all inextricably linked to the situation in the Principality.This is by no means something that can be changed and reversed by individuals, but a wave brought by the wind of the times itself.

It is not difficult to keep yourself, but if you take a long view, you want to keep your family, or even the entire Principality, no matter how powerful one or two job-changers are, how can they set off any waves and change the situation in the extremely powerful aristocratic circle? ?

If you want to go further, you can only use the momentum.

Therefore, Midi made a suggestion to Fina, using this assassination as an opportunity to weaken the power of the entire parliamentarian faction!

Of course, although the Seth family planned the assassination, the methods were very sophisticated and did not leave any clues or traces.Although it is possible to directly use this as an excuse to carry out noble wars, it cannot catch the opponent by surprise.

However, what about the academy itself, which has always upheld neutrality?You must know that the assassination of such a vicious incident in the trial where all the forces are paying attention is already a huge crime in itself. If this is used as an issue, it should not move the parliamentarian faction itself, but cut off its development in the academy. The power of it will surely receive miraculous effects.

And now, the Queen's faction, who got the news at the first time, undoubtedly did exactly that.

However, many students at the scene were still unclear about the situation, so naturally there was another commotion.

"Sigmund, go and take out those 'monster drops'." Fina also walked onto the podium, and then ordered.

Soon, the gunman brought a huge and heavy iron box.

The red-haired girl glanced at the iron box, then cast a questioning look at Midi.Midi nodded lightly, so the Storm Queen took a sassy step forward, and finally said, "Students, let's take a look at this first."

As soon as the Storm Queen spoke, the noise below immediately stopped.And when the iron box was opened, the so-called "monster drops" inside made everyone gasp.

That's four heads.

"These are the heads of the killers of the Blood Blade Thieves, two level 30, one level 31, and one level 35 sword soul." Midi introduced from the side, showing a chilling smile, turned to the side and flinched "Principal Linde, two questions. First, is the drop from monsters of this level enough to get the first place in the trial? Second, the assassination occurred during the trial. Tell me, who is responsible for this?"
