There were two types of scholarship at Orlando Knight Academy.
The first type was for students with excellent academic performance, who were recognized by their mentors and applied for academic subsidies and scholarship from the school.
Scholarships like these were extremely difficult to obtain. Every year, those commoner geniuses would fight for them. Of course, the amount was also relatively large. Usually, hundreds or even thousands of scholarship awards were given out at once.
This kind of scholarship needed to be applied for after the end of the school year, and the cycle was slow, so it was excluded by Rashu.
The other was the Academy Association Scholarship.
There were many student associations in the academy, such as the Sword Arts Association, Spear Arts Association, Equestrian Association, Royal Palace Dance Association...
Founding an association could earn credits and expand one's network.
The more people there were in the association and the stronger they were, the more generous the rewards the academy would give them.
Therefore, in order to attract more people to join, many associations would set up some challenges in the association.
Completing the challenge would reward them with a certain amount of gold coins, which would increase the popularity of the association.
Many proud but poor commoner geniuses fell for this.
Rashu stopped in front of a beautiful building with the symbol of two crossed swords hanging on it and arrived at his destination.
The Swordsmanship Association!
The Swordsmanship Association was considered a relatively large student association. It was also very powerful and had many experts among them.
The president of the Swordsmanship Association, Bowen, was a publicly acknowledged genius and a famous figure.
The son of a marquis, a level nine apprentice knight in his fifth year, only one step away from becoming a real knight.
Rashu walked into the Swordsmanship Association. There were quite a lot of people in the association. Rashu found a member of the association and expressed his purpose of coming.
"A magic puppet challenge?"
The association member pointed in a direction and said to Rashu,""Go inside. You will see it very soon…"
"Thank you."
Rashu expressed his gratitude.
As he walked away, he heard the association member muttering,"" Another one who came for the challenge of gold coins. Hmph, it's not that easy to last a minute against a magic puppet…"
Rashu smiled and walked in.
Soon, a large corridor appeared in front of them. There were many people in the corridor, and they seemed to be squeezed in front of a small door.
"Maris has been in there for almost a minute. I wonder how long he can last this time?”
"At least a minute and a half! The last time, he stayed inside for a full minute and a half before exiting.”
"So strong! Only a monster like Maris would use magic puppets to train his swordsmanship. I didn't want to go in and get tortured.”
A name called " Marise " kept ringing in Rashu's ears, which piqued his curiosity.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Rashu saw a short and chubby youth with freckles all over his face. He was holding a silver pocket watch in his hand, as if he was counting time.
He should be the person in charge of the magic puppet challenge.
Rashu walked over and asked the freckled youth,""This is my first time in the Sword Arts Association. Can you introduce the rules of the magic puppet challenge?”
The freckled youth didn't even look at Rashu. He looked at the pocket watch in his hand and casually replied,"" The rules are very simple. If you enter the room and hold on for one minute under the magic puppet's attack, you will be rewarded with 30 gold coins and become an elite backbone of our association..."
Rashu's eyes flickered as he said,""Just one minute? The magic puppet is so powerful!"
The freckled youth glanced at Rashu and sneered,""The magic puppet in the room is a precious magic tool that our president borrowed from the vice president of the Magic Academy, Lord Giles. It was forged from many precious magic metals and has…The strength of a real knight!"
The freckled teenager emphasized the word 'knight-level'.
"Knight level…"
Rashu was slightly speechless. No wonder he only needed to endure for a minute.
This was already a huge challenge for an apprentice knight.
"It's indeed an amazing achievement to be able to last for a minute against a knight-level magic puppet…"
Luo Xiu sighed.
The freckled youth suddenly grinned when he heard that. He looked at Luo Xiu and said,"Do you know how long our guild leader can last?”
"How long?"
Rashu blinked.
"Ten minutes!"
The freckled youth replied in a proud tone," This is also the highest record our magic puppet has ever set. Kid, if you can break this record, you will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!
But that is impossible."
At this moment, there was a commotion from the crowd.
"Maris is out!"
The freckled youth hurriedly grabbed the pocket watch in his hand and squeezed past Rashu as he walked over, shouting as he walked,""Two minutes! This time, Marise's score was two minutes!”
"Wow…"
Immediately, another wave of exclamations sounded.
Rashu turned his head and saw a thin young man with a determined expression walking out of the crowd.
It should be the Maris they were talking about.
Maris's face was pale, and his hair was completely drenched in sweat. His footsteps were a little unsteady, and he looked like he had exhausted too much of his strength.
"Analyzing Maris 'physical fitness.”
"Target's physical fitness data is as follows:
[Strength: 4.0]
[Speed: 3.9]
[Constitution: 2.8]
[Willpower: 1.7]
The data was insufficient, and the analysis results might have errors.”
Maris was a level-7 Knight Apprentice. As long as his strength reached 3.8, he would be considered a level-7 Knight Apprentice. Mars had two attributes that were above 3.8. He was indeed a little genius that everyone praised.
" My strength is 3.4, reaching the standard of a rank 6 apprentice knight. However, my speed and physique are too poor. My overall strength is probably only around rank 5…"
Rashu compared himself to Maris in his heart.
