After returning to the academy, I was very clear about what I needed. The restriction of only being able to use magic three times a day gave me a headache, but since even Teacher Will couldn't explain this problem, I could only let nature take its course.
To be honest, I felt that casting magic was more satisfying. It was safe and powerful, but what could I do? I didn't have much room for improvement in magic.
It seems that the only thing I can improve now is my own martial technique. That's an unlimited number of times. Teacher Will, don't blame me for always going to the Holy Knight of Leon. It's your fault that the things you can teach me are limited!
For the sake of me, the hero of the Empire, the Holy Knight of Leon decided to give me an all-rounded test to see which level I could reach.
Although I didn't really care about the so-called knight ranking system, in order to satisfy Princess Lia's curiosity, I could only reluctantly give myself a test. I didn't want to disappoint them.
After three days of preparation, I was informed that I could take the test.
Although I was once conferred the title of a Royal Knight by His Majesty, I did not pass the test of the Knight Guild. For the sake of fairness, I request to be promoted from the lowest level up.
The experts of the Knight's Guild originally felt that with my strength, there was no need for this. However, since I had brought it up, they agreed.
The first level of the Knight rank was just a qualification test. It mainly tested the strength, speed, riding skills, etc. required to be an ordinary Knight. These were all very easy for me. Even an ordinary Knight in our Royal Dragon Knight Regiment should have such strength, let alone a Major General like me!
This time, of course, I completed the mission according to the requirements. There was nothing special about it.
I believe that everyone present is not very concerned about this. Their attention should be focused on the Holy Knight or higher Holy Knight test.
In the future, there would be no such boring content in the promotion test. It would be a public one-on-one competition between the knight of the previous level and the tester. If the tester won, it meant that he had the ability to promote. This was the highlight of this test.
When I arrived at the Royal Martial Arts Academy's arena, it was already packed with people. The surrounding spectators were shouting loudly to cheer for me.
Yeah, I'm a little embarrassed.
He finally managed to squeeze Princess Lia into the arena and comfortably rested in the seats that had been arranged for him. He chatted intimately with Lia and waited for the appearance of the tester.
However, I didn't expect that my test subject wouldn't appear after such a long time.
Originally, the Knight Guild didn't prepare any Grand Knight level opponents. Now, of course, they had to spend some time looking for volunteers. However, when they heard that their opponent was me, there weren't many people who wanted to humiliate themselves. They had no choice. In order to hurry, they randomly found a Grand Knight level student from the crowd and threw him onto the stage.
I got impatient and immediately rushed up.
Princess Lia, who was eating snacks below, had a look of disdain on her face. She knew that fellow's level like the back of her hand." Even as a girl, I can't beat him, and he wants to fight with Constellation? Sigh!" Why are you so stupid!"
I didn't care how that poor guy came up. I only knew that he was my opponent. I naturally wouldn't show any mercy to my enemy.
An unexpected situation occurred. The student who had regained consciousness finally understood the situation on the battlefield. His eyes rolled as a good idea appeared in his mind.
He shouted loudly and rushed towards me. Just as I was about to kill him, this Grand Knight was about seven meters away from me. He suddenly flew back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
I stared blankly at him as he fell to the ground. I didn't seem to have made a move yet. What was going on? The Grand Knight then began his performance. He struggled to get up from the ground with a painful expression.
He bowed to me with both hands and said,"As expected of a hero who defeated an army of 30,000 orcs alone. I didn't expect your battle energy to be able to reach seven meters away. I'm ashamed of my inferiority. I hope to receive your guidance in the future.”
"An expert, as expected of an expert.”I was almost defeated by him! However, looking at that kid, his reaction was not bad. His brain was also flexible enough to use such a move to prevent him from being ravaged.
I suddenly felt that if this unremarkable Grand Knight was trained, he would be a good spy. I wanted to recruit him, so I gave him some face and cooperated with him.
I looked like a top expert,"Not bad, not bad!" For you to be able to escape unscathed from my battle energy, you are already comparable to a centurion among the Beastmen.
What is your name? Are you willing to become a member of the 13th division of the Royal Dragon Knights?”
Generally speaking, a Regiment Commander doesn't have the authority to recruit soldiers and buy horses. It's just that our Regiment has suffered heavy losses in the war, so His Majesty the Emperor has given me special permission to recruit a certain number of people.
That fellow was indeed a genius, and he immediately agreed,"I'm Fox, and I'm willing to serve under the Regiment Commander."
Who would have thought that this Chief Intelligence Officer, who would be indispensable to my future achievements, would be discovered by me from the vast sea of people and join my team under such circumstances?
It seems that my judgment is quite good.”
Looks like I'm definitely a talent.
In a situation where everyone was happy, I obtained the title of Grand Knight and also had the right to challenge the higher ranks.
When I walked down the stage to rest, Princess Liya, this lovely beauty, happily whispered into my ear,
"Stars! I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You must teach me when you have the chance.”。
" Haha," I laughed awkwardly. I didn't dare to hide anything from this princess and honestly reported the truth to her.
Who asked me to rely on her to eat? My tuition fees are all paid by the royal family.
Princess Lia laughed out loud when she heard that. She laughed so hard that tears came out. I had to unconsciously use my hand to gently wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, attracting a murderous gaze.
The princess finally stopped laughing. She stared at me and asked,"Why did you recruit such a cunning person?”I blushed a little under her gaze.
"Well, I still think he's quite smart. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have such good acting skills!”I realized that recently Princess liked to see me blush more and more. She always came to tease me. She knew that I was not used to being stared at by her, but she insisted on doing so.
Just like that, I successfully passed the first two stages. Where can I go? I'm looking forward to the next opponent.
