Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 96
At the end of November, the royal private school that brought together the seven young demigods and Rodel's many noble children officially opened. The first day's course was taught by the Ortapis knight himself, and the location was arranged in the Phantom Tree Square in the outer city.

This place is more than [-] miles away from Uptown on the north bank of the Rodell River. The class starts at [-]:[-] in the morning, but the class location is only notified to the students' homes at [-]:[-] in the morning.The Knights of Ortapis also specifically requested that all students are not allowed to use the carriages and horses provided at home, and must arrive at the classroom on time by themselves.

At 04:30, the aged chief of the furnace had put on his ax-shaped heavy armor and stood waiting at the entrance of the square with a big sword in his hand.

In less than 10 minutes, he saw two brothers, Lataen and Lakad trotting forward and one after the other, coming to the meeting place, but the former was still calm after running at this speed for a long distance, while the latter was slightly out of breath. .Another 2 minutes later, Mikaela and Lani also arrived one after another. These two obviously used prayer and magic to help them, and they were easier than Latarn in terms of appearance.

Autopis took out the gold-plated pocket watch in the breastplate and took a look, then came to Mikaela and asked, "Your Highness, will Princess Marenia come to attend today's class?"

His implication is naturally that he is concerned about Malenia's physical condition. After all, unlike the other six demigods, Queen Malika and Radagon arranged for Malenia to attend the royal private school just to take care of the little girl feelings.With Malenia's physique suffering from corruption, no one would really think that she can make any achievements in martial arts.

"It will come," Mikaela sighed helplessly, "Since the child regained his mobility, he has been passionate about things like combat skills and swordsmanship. He has been chasing him at home with a wooden sword and Shirley these days. Called, today's class is even more important to attend, letting her recuperate at home is even more difficult than suppressing her corruption disease!"

"But." The old man hesitated slightly, "Today, the old minister specially designed a relatively difficult entry test, in order to kill the arrogance of those dudes, and the princess's physical condition"

Hearing this, Mikaela showed a relaxed smile instead, and said, "It doesn't matter. Didn't you notice that the guy who was supposed to come first hasn't arrived yet?"

The Otaupis knight was startled for a moment, then quickly understood what the other party meant, shook his head and said with a smile: "Indeed, the rules formulated by the old minister did not prohibit them from cooperating with each other."

As soon as the words fell, there was already a storm-like howl in the sky, a silvery-white dragon shadow flew down from the clouds, and when it was about to touch the ground, the four wings shining with golden light fluttered, holding the huge The dragon's body landed firmly on the ground.

On the neck of the giant dragon, the little girl who was sitting upright holding the horns of the dragon looked at the venue and several figures below, rubbed her eyes, and slid down the wings excitedly, touching the dragon scales that shone like a pyroxene. praised:

"Lucia, you are so fast!"

When she received the news at four o'clock, Marenia shouted to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, Lucia stopped her and asked her to rest at home for another half hour, and assured her that they would leave at the same time as the others. Arrived—it turned out to be the case, she saw that brother Lakade was still panting on his knees!
Hearing this childish compliment, the corners of Lucia's mouth couldn't help twitching. Fortunately, his cheeks are now completely covered by bone armor, so it's hard to see the changes in his expression in detail.

After transforming into a human form, he came to the Ordopis knight and gave a knight salute, and the old man returned the salute with a smile——Since the battle at Lake Rodell, the chief of the furnace's impression of Lucia has completely changed. His level of respect has been exactly the same as it was for Mikaela.

For the next hour, Lucia and Latan chatted casually about their new understanding of swordsmanship in recent days, and at the same time saw more and more noble children rushing from the city.

With a distance of more than [-] miles, if you want to control the time within two hours while completely relying on your own walking, it is undoubtedly already an elite level among the Rodell knights. At this time, Ortapis placed this test here In the pampered descendants of nobles, the gap between the crowd is immediately apparent.

The first to arrive were a group of top aristocratic children from famous families who had received rigorous training since childhood. Among them, the fastest was only less than 10 minutes behind the demigods. There are not many members of ordinary nobles, and there are also a few civilian children who have been recommended to obtain the qualifications to participate in private schools.

In the last half hour, almost all of the people who arrived at the venue were members of the nobility. They benefited from their prestigious family background and obtained the admission qualifications, but they themselves have always been pampered and seldom endured hardships. The gaze of the Piss knight contained a bit of undisguised resentment.

At six o'clock, the Ortapis knight buckled his pocket watch and said calmly, "It's time."

At the same time as the words came out, the two Furnace Knights accompanying them immediately led hundreds of Rodel Knights, ran to the main road leading to the inner city from the square, and intercepted all the shadowy figures still rushing here in the distance.

"All latecomers will not be allowed to participate in today's class, and will be punished as failing the first assessment—"

The old man turned around and looked at the messy aristocratic children, his expression as indifferent as the rocks under the ice and snow, "I believe you have heard about it before entering school. If you fail two consecutive assessments, you will be cleared out of the royal private school. I hope you will take it for granted." Learn."

"In addition, the students whose names are called will be listed below." The Ortapis knight said and took out a roll call.

"Vallance."

"To!"

"Herod."

"To!"

After counting nearly twenty names in a row, the old man raised his falcon-like eyes and scanned the group of young nobles who had come out to stand. Among them, the one with the lowest family background was also the second son of a powerful earl in the capital.

"Now, does anyone know why I named your names?"

A dozen or so young people looked at each other and shook their heads calmly.

Seeing this, the old man was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, just now is your last chance."

"Levin, tell them the reason." He ordered behind him.

A powerful Rodel knight stepped forward immediately, took out a thin list from his breastplate, and read out:

"Wallance, take the carriage to get off twelve miles outside the south gate of the inner city, and then make a detour to the venue."

"Herod, ride a detour from the east gate of the inner city to ten miles outside the venue."

"Padkas."

The records violating the rules were read out in public, and the dozen or so people who were named were a little flustered at first, but soon this emotion was swallowed up by the "emotions and anger are not visible" tutoring that they had cultivated since childhood. He just stood there with a straight face, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

Even if you are wrong, you must never admit it, let alone modify it-in their eyes, this is the cultivation that every nobleman must possess.

"The reading is over." The knight named Levin put away the list and returned to stand behind the Ortapis knight.

The old man nodded, looked calmly at the group of young nobles in front of him, and said calmly: "Now, in the name of the private school principal of the royal family, I announce that you are expelled."

　ps. I had a headache yesterday. I slept from the afternoon to the night. I didn’t even bother to ask for leave. I’m very sorry. There is still one update today, and two updates will resume tomorrow.
