Hearing Anthony's reminder, Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "I understand. Count me in for the inter-class competition this time around."
He had just finished speaking when a strong gust of wind blew past and Fang Xingjian's silhouette became increasingly faint, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
Jack gulped and said, "Xingjian's speed is getting more and more elusive."
Anthony laughed, "Isn't that even better? Although Kaunitz isn't here this time around, with Xingjian around, we should be able to hold on for a few more rounds, right?"
Although the two of them already knew that Fang Xingjian was very strong, that his occupation as a Windstorm Sword Hero was very strong, and that his talent was even stronger, they had never thought that Fang Xingjian would be able to defeat those Knights at the peak of their abilities who had been training in the academy for five to six years, or even seven to eight years.
On the other hand, Fang Xingjian had already returned to the training room to start cultivating his Supreme Mistwind Sword Technique. Since there were only a few more days before the inter-class competition, he had to make good use of his time to cultivate his Killing techniques, striving to bring his Supreme Mistwind Sword Technique to level 20 before the competition. He wondered what additional special effects it would bring.
The next day, the news of Fang Xingjian registering for the inter-class competition spread throughout the entire Knight Academy. Countless people were secretly anticipating what kind of power Fang Xingjian, who had transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero, would be able to display.
…
In Class 252's classroom, there were ten people in this class who had been training for four more years than Fang Xingjian and the others.
A tall, fair-skinned, golden-haired man laughed, "To think that Fang Xingjian would be participating in the competition as well. He has always been treated like a treasure by the Headmaster, and even applied for extra leave for him. Even the Knight Association has agreed to it. "I had thought that he would be training in seclusion for the next year."
He was the current Prefectural Champion of Class 252, Renault from Kirst Aristocrat Academy.
Renault was half-reclining on a chair, with a few aristocrat Knights sitting in front of and behind him. As for the commoner Knights, they were busy serving tea.
As Renault spoke, he glanced at the feminine-looking man next to him. It was the man who had greeted Kaunitz on the day of the Prefectural Selection. He was also a Knight from Tresia Academy.
Renault looked at the feminine-looking man and said, "Xiu Yi, this Fang Xingjian can be considered a great foe of Tresia. Hehe, before he grows up, why don't you teach him a good lesson? I heard that Kaunitz is hiding at home now and doesn't even dare to come out. If he doesn't report to the academy like this, he'll be expelled soon, right? "
"You don't have to worry about Kaunitz. He has received the recognition of an important person and has been specially approved by the Imperial Capital to not participate in the academy's daily cultivation. Instead, he is undergoing special training." The effeminate man, Xiu Yi, said, "As for Fang Xingjian, he has only transitioned a month ago. Defeating him is a matter of course, not a lesson. Moreover, whether we can meet them or not depends on the situation of the groups. "
Currently, there were a total of nine classes in the Knight Academy. The inter-class tournament would be split into three groups by drawing lots in the first round. Each group would compete in two rounds of a round-robin tournament. A win would be worth three points, a draw would be worth one point, and a loss would be worth zero points.
The last person in each group would be eliminated. If the scores were the same, the time elapsed and the number of people eliminated in the competition would be determined.
There would be a total of six teams left. The first and second place teams would enter the semi-finals directly.
The other four teams would go through an elimination round. The two victorious teams would then compete with the teams with the first and second place points to fight for the right to compete in the finals.
Hearing Xiu Yi's explanation, although Renault was extremely curious as to which important person Kaunitz had received the recognition of, and why the Imperial Capital had given the order to interfere with the academy, he knew that Xiu Yi would definitely not reveal it.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "Class 256 is too weak. All of them are newbies who have transitioned a month or two ago. "However, Fang Xingjian is a Windstorm Sword Hero. Although he has only transitioned a month ago and is still very weak, with a bit of luck, he might be able to advance to the next round …"
Just as Renault was casually analyzing the situation, a middle-aged man with black hair and eyes ran over. His face looked weathered and his skin was tanned. Although he was wearing a Knight attire, when he saw Renault and the others, he kept lowering his head and bowing, appearing out of place. This was a commoner Knight who had come from the lowest rung of society.
The moment he ran in, he bowed to Renault and the other aristocrats, saying, "Young Master Renault, the results of the drawing of lots are out. Our Class 252 has drawn the same group as Class 256 and Class 253."
"Class 256?" Renault's eyes lit up. "Isn't that Fang Xingjian's class? "Hehe, this batch of commoners are all very arrogant. This time around, I'll be able to teach them a good lesson."
Saying that, he looked at Xiu Yi and said, "Xiu Yi, you can also help your Tresia Academy's people take revenge. "Although you can't kill him, breaking a few of his bones shouldn't be a big deal."
Xiu Yi said calmly, "Aren't you afraid of offending this future Divine level expert?"
"Hmph, it's not that easy to reach the Divine level. If we're constantly worrying about this person becoming a Divine level and that person becoming a Divine level, then we can forget about fighting. " Renault smiled in disdain. "Moreover, he came to participate in the competition after training for a month. If we don't teach him a good lesson, are we supposed to tie our hands up and let him win? "Against the current him, it's normal for us to win. It's something we should do. What's there to offend? "
Xiu Yi said in disdain, "You're still afraid." Looking at the other students around him who were also wearing unnatural expressions, Xiu Yi's expression turned even more gloomy. He said coldly, "I know that none of you want to offend a Windstorm Sword Hero. Since that's the case, leave him to me during the competition."
…
On the other side, in the Class 256 that Fang Xingjian was in, everyone was sighing.
"How could it be like this?!" Jack held his head and shouted, "Class 252 (Renault and Xiu Yi's class) has been training in the academy for a total of four years. It's too difficult to win against them. "Why can't we be matched against Class 255 and Class 254, which have been training for one or two years longer than us?!"
Anthony analyzed from the side, "It's very difficult for us to win against Class 252. "Now, whether or not we can advance depends on whether or not we can defeat those fellows from Class 253."
"How do we fight? With what? " Barbara, who was in the other corner of the classroom, looked at the two of them in disdain and said, "Class 253 came three years earlier than us, which means that they've completed the first transition three years earlier than us. They've cultivated Waves three years earlier than us, and their Killing techniques three years earlier than us! "We're missing Kaunitz, and the two of you are burdens. "I think we can only wait until next year to bully the new batch of students."
Her tone was filled with disdain, obviously looking down on commoner Knights.
Jack retorted, unconvinced, "But this time, Xingjian is participating. He's a Windstorm Sword Hero and has unparalleled speed. With him around, we have hope of winning."
"So what if he's a Windstorm Sword Hero?" Barbara retorted, "He's only transitioned a month ago. One month, do you understand? He's only been training Killing techniques for a month. How strong can he become in a month's time? "Even if his talent is unparalleled and he can win against one or two of them, there are ten of them. We're still one short, and with the two of you burdens, even if he's made of steel, how many of them can he fend off?"
Jack's face flushed red. Although he wanted to rebut, thinking that it was because he was weak that he was a burden to the class, he was unable to say a word.
However, he immediately reacted, pointing at Barbara and saying, "Then can you do it? Can you win against those Knights from Class 253? "
Barbara let out a cold laugh and said, "I still have a chance of winning against the two weakest commoners in their class." As she spoke, she threw a glance at Jack and Anthony, her meaning clear.
She continued to tease, "Also, not only will we not be able to win against Class 252, the person in second place in that batch is Kaunitz's Senior from Tresia Academy. Hehe, you guys better tell Fang Xingjian to be careful."
"Alright, stop quarreling."
"That's enough, let's go."
Just as the two of them were arguing more and more intensely, Anthony pulled Jack back, while Ferdinand pulled Barbara back.
However, before they left, Barbara still looked at Jack unhappily and said, "Tell Fang Xingjian that although he is very strong, the inter-class competition is not a one-man competition. Tell him to listen to the commands and not to act recklessly."
"Alright, Barbara, that's enough." Ferdinand said, "I'm sorry, but I'll have to trouble you guys to tell Fang Xingjian that on the day of the competition, we'll still need to coordinate well in order to win. "It's really not good for someone like him to not participate in class activities."
Seeing the few aristocrats leaving, Jack said indignantly, "These aristocrats! Aren't they just relying on their numbers? " There were a total of five aristocrats in Class 256. Even though Kaunitz was not around, there were still four experts from the aristocratic faction. Usually, they had the greatest say in the class.
Anthony patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, this is how the world works. Haven't you gotten used to it?"
Just as the two of them were conversing, Robert (Tyrant Fist Dojo's Dojo Master who had completed his first transition before the Prefectural Selection) walked over, cupped his hands towards the two of them, and said, "The two of you, please tell Fang Xingjian that I, Robert, am willing to listen to his commands during the inter-class competition."
After saying that, he left without waiting for the two of them to reply.
Jack and Anthony looked at each other. A few seconds later, Anthony said thoughtfully, "To think that Robert actually gave in."
Jack revealed an envious gaze, "This is the charm of a Windstorm Sword Hero."
