Chapter 6, The Silver Miracle

Unknowingly, an hour has passed. The sun has quietly emerged from the clouds, and the temperature is gradually rising. Standing under the unshielded sunlight, an ordinary person would find it quite uncomfortable. However, for a magician, this is not a problem at all. The beautiful senior students who excel in water magic are summoning elements to produce freezing air. Indeed, studying this discipline is very convenient; in summer, one can even save on air conditioning costs. However, thirst presents another challenge.

Subsequently, the selection process proceeded in an orderly manner. Unlike students majoring in literature who primarily provide resumes and various certificates when seeking employment, those wishing to join the Knights' Order, whether as warriors or mages, naturally must showcase their skills. As long as they pass the assessment, they can become provisional members of the Dragon Knights. In the time that follows, as long as they complete the remaining credits and finish their graduation defense, they can proceed to report for duty.

Undoubtedly, the wizard is synonymous with power, and their terrifying might is beyond the reach of warriors. However, this strength must be exercised at a distance and with caution; if engaged in close combat, even a low-ranking knight can swiftly eliminate an unprepared sorcerer.

This guy seems to have completely forgotten that he once severely damaged the public facilities on campus

... ...

What drives the students wild is that at the top of the knight's order, there is a white giant dragon, a true high-level dragon species, the legendary Jade Wave Dragon. Could it be that His Highness Abit has actually come in person

The originally joyous talent show, could it really turn into a tragedy because of this unexpected incident? ... However, given the current situation, it seems impossible to avoid, unless ... unless a miracle occurs

Originally, taking the stage for a competition was the best method; however, that would be too time-consuming. Therefore, a compromise was adopted: anyone holding the "Intermediate Low-Grade Mage Certificate" issued by the Lantes Federation Mage Guild can take the stage for the test. Of course, it would be even better if one possesses a Medium or High-Grade certificate. As for the rarer High Mage Certificate, considering the age of the graduates, that is not very realistic, unless a legendary genius, said to appear once in a century, emerges.

There is such a beautiful girl; you must seize the opportunity well

As the highest institution of learning in the Lantes Federation, the outstanding graduates from Saint Violet naturally do not worry about finding good jobs. However, today is particularly special—the Dragon Knight Corps is coming here for recruitment.

The cool autumn breeze passes by, yet it cannot diminish the enthusiasm and aspirations of the youth. Everyone gazes into the distant horizon until a group of black dots appears.

Saint Violet is the highest institution of learning in the Federation; however, not all students come from wealthy families, as the majority are commoners. Many first-year students are facing financial difficulties, and at this stage, they do not have the resources to work part-time like the upperclassmen.

Sweat, Xiao Mo? The principal is already over eighty years old, but in front of this old monster who has lived for nearly two hundred years, being referred to as "little" is quite normal.

... is paramount.

The situation is stronger than the individual. Now that things have come to this point, what else can Han Yu do but reluctantly reach into his wallet with blood and tears: "How much?"

However, the wicked male elf did not let Han Yu off the hook. He pushed the cart over and said with a sly smile: "Classmate, your girlfriend is so beautiful. Why not treat her to some ice cream? Being her boyfriend like this is not up to standard..."

The sages of the Earth once said: "Where there is a need, there will be business opportunities."

The principal of Saint Violet personally welcomed him, the Dragon Knight Abit. Although he was nearly 200 years old, he showed no signs of aging in his appearance, looking no more than in his forties, and he was exceptionally handsome... so handsome that it was almost irritating

Danger

She truly lacked consideration and was too willful. Xue Ling'er looked at Han Yu with guilt, regretting making such a joke. However, the development of the situation was already beyond control. If she stood up to stop it now, it would only hurt his pride and face even more. Sigh, she could only find another opportunity to make amends later.

The reason why the Snow Maiden is like this should be that my previous instances of talking to myself piqued her interest. Driven by curiosity, and since I have no secrets to hide, I might as well indulge her. Moreover, having a beautiful girl by my side is quite impressive.

It must be acknowledged that the seniors around me are, in fact, well-meaning; however, they seem somewhat oblivious to the struggles of those who are less fortunate.

"A gold coin." The fat man wore a sly grin.

Everything was going smoothly; however, Saint Violet truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three major academies of Water Cloud Star. A fourth-year student has actually obtained the qualification of a Senior Knight. Although it is only of the lower grade, this is still a rare talent that appears once in a century. Even when compared to the examiners in the Dragon Knight Corps, this student is more than capable of holding their own.

What?

Sweat, Crystal Love, was originally a very good and romantic name, but unfortunately it has been used too much, and has thus become clichéd

Great, they have finally arrived

Junior, just buy it, one gold coin, it's not very expensive

Boom

The chubby elf boy with a kind face, who once said that one should not strike a smiling person, is now someone Han Yu wishes to give a good beating to

The beautiful senior sisters beside her were also chattering and advising her; they had a very good impression of this handsome junior. The only flaw was that he was a bit stingy, and they all wanted to help him correct this shortcoming

Indeed, having such a beautiful girlfriend, it is worth it to buy her an ice cream worth a gold coin, or even ten coins!

I originally thought I would witness a spectacular and intense magical battle, but to my surprise, the scene was quite calm. Several official mages from the Knights' Order were seated at a table, carefully reviewing the resumes and certificates of the magic students. This was unavoidable; in comparison to the number of graduates, the recruitment quota of the Dragon Knights was indeed pitifully small, so it was only natural to select the best candidates.

Dragons, noble, powerful, and rare beings, if their numbers were merely one-tenth, or rather, one-hundredth of the human population, humanity would no longer be the dominators of this planet. The terrifying dragon breath, the overwhelming dragon pressure, along with their astonishing physical attacks and defenses, render them so formidable that they are hailed as beings second only to the gods

Soon, the students qualified to participate in the test were selected one by one and took to the arena, while the others dispersed to the back. The teachers of the academy set up protective barriers, as magical duels are notorious for their erratic projectiles. If any accidental injuries occurred, it would be quite embarrassing for both the academy and the Dragon Knights.

With such strength, admission was naturally a foregone conclusion. However, at the students' request, this student engaged in a performance battle with the examiner. Originally, such a contest was merely for show, but with few worthy opponents, the examiner wanted to see the genius's true capabilities, while a student named Lake also wished to thoroughly assess himself. Thus, the battle unfolded with intense fervor.

Silver ... ... Silver fighting spirit

Oh dear, today has truly been a misfortune for me. Han Yuyu is on the verge of tears, looking at Xue Ling'er beside her, wondering where she has offended her. Just a moment ago, they were still chatting happily. No wonder people say that a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the ocean; it is indeed a profound truth.

At the assessment point, in addition to the magicians, there were also some students from the martial arts class observing the new arrivals and the books. However, the flying war lance belonged to a high-ranking knight. How could one expect them, who lacked even fighting spirit, to withstand it? The most terrifying aspect was that the war lance was imbued with powerful wind attribute fighting spirit. Once it landed, an explosion was inevitable. Without protection, the bodies of the magicians were exceedingly fragile, and the casualties would certainly not be as simple as just one or two.

This chubby elf classmate is indeed dedicated, while lecherously eyeing the beauties, he continues to promote his business: "I have a special value edition ice cream prepared specifically for couples—Crystal Love."

Unfortunately, the principal does not understand the imaginative hearts of these young girls at all. Before long, he took the Dragon Knight to his office, accompanied by several senior members of Saint Violet. It seems that the collaboration between the military and the academy is far more complex than merely selecting talents and providing graduates.

The Dragon Knights are particularly interested in such talents. The mysterious silver aura effortlessly withstands the charged strike of a high-ranking knight. Observing fresh warriors at the magical assessment point, this must undoubtedly be a new student this year. Goodness, if such a genius is not recruited, not only would His Excellency the Marshal impose punishment, but I would also be unable to forgive myself.

This, I am not with her...

The beautiful Star and Moon Square is a great place for students to relax and entertain themselves. The senior students from the Combat and Magic departments, dressed in their brand new uniforms, stand quietly here

......

As time passes, it draws ever closer, and the agile figure of the winged dragon can now be clearly seen. The knights, clad in resplendent armor, wield battle spears that glimmer with a chilling light, followed shortly by the magical legion, with their dragons further accentuating the nobility and elegance of the sorcerer profession

Han Yu is inherently generous, whether on Earth or on Shuiyun Star. If conditions permit, even though Xue Ling'er is not his girlfriend, he would not hesitate to treat her to expensive ice cream without a frown. However, he only has one gold coin left in his pocket. Is he really going to have to secretly pick up buns in the cafeteria for the next month? But given the current situation, there is no room for choice.

Xue Ling'er is still with Han Yu; she feels that this newly acquainted young man harbors an inexplicable mystery.

As a student of Saint Violet, majoring in Combat and Magic, and now in the fourth year, despite not having a favorable family background, working part-time to earn some money is certainly not an issue. In the Adventurers' Guild, the profession of a magician is highly sought after. During holidays, taking on some moderately difficult tasks yields considerable rewards. After deducting tuition fees, one can easily afford a lifestyle at the level of the white-collar class, making romantic expenditures naturally even less of a problem

The Dragon Knight Order has always sought members exclusively from seasoned veterans, but this time they made an exception, causing the principal to smile with delight... Abit truly knows how to make an impression.

The competition did not feature particularly intense or spectacular scenes; however, the vice commander, who is also the commander of the magical legion, was very pleased. These young individuals are all exceptionally talented. In school, they have received a systematic and theoretical education in magic, and their abilities are commendable. What they lack is experience and refinement, which can all be compensated for with time. What he values most is the immense potential of these young people. Given time, the Dragon Knight Corps will surely...

In the distance, a testing site echoed with the panicked shouts and screams of people. This was the place for evaluating martial skills and selecting knights. Similar to wizards, one could gain the qualification to take the stage by obtaining the "Intermediate Lower Grade Knight Certificate" issued by the Lantes Federation Knight Union after passing their review.

Gentleman, be a bit more gentlemanly

Classmate, this is a special offer, already discounted by 20 percent

Han Yuke did not wish to become the focus of the campus; her earlier action was merely a necessity. Observing the astonished gazes of the crowd, the thirty-six stratagems...

On an early autumn afternoon, the weather is not hot; the autumn breeze brings a touch of coolness, and the campus appears particularly tranquil, with only the melodious chirping of birds in the trees.

Only Han Yu is not interested in this; if it were the personal guard of Artina, that would be acceptable, but as for the Dragon Knights, he has no interest in them at all

......

"Look, the Dragon Riders, it really is the Dragon Riders!"

He, feeling sorrowful about his future, did not notice the guilty gaze of Xue Ling'er beside him; however, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred

Han Yu was also very thirsty; however, considering her limited finances, she had no choice but to endure it, licking her dry lips... Being broke is truly pitiful

The newcomers are equally filled with excitement. According to reliable sources, such events may become a tradition, held annually in the future. This means that as long as they put in the effort, they have the possibility of becoming a member of the Dragon Knight Order

As they watched the silver light transform into a streaking meteor and shoot off into the distance, the crowd finally came to their senses. Immediately, the numerical magician and the knight soared into the air, pursuing it.

Unlike the martial arts class, the magic department is undoubtedly dominated by females, with beautiful senior female students making up a significant portion. I truly envy the male students studying magic; this situation is quite similar to the liberal arts classes in universities on Earth, where amidst a sea of red, there is but a single green... Finding a girlfriend is definitely not a problem.

The Dragon Knight Corps has sent only high-ranking mages to serve as testers. Although the graduates of Saint Violet are also quite exceptional, the disparity between the two sides remains very evident. This is not only a difference in strength but also in experience and technique. The undefeated Dragon Knight Corps is certainly not comparable to these inexperienced novices.

Quick, get out of the way

Han Yu smiled, without any interface

Han Yu and his companions, under the guidance of their teacher, proceeded along the tranquil tree-lined path towards the western district of the academy

As he spoke, he glanced at the Snow Spirit beside him. It must be said that the Snow Beauty possesses a striking allure, at least at the level of a campus belle

However, neither side utilized the unique techniques granted by their respective fighting attributes, and thus there was no need to set up protective barriers around them as in a magical duel

Han Yusheng is generous by nature; if he were financially comfortable, he would certainly not mind treating Xueling Er to ice cream. However, at present... he is poor, having already had several bowls of thin porridge. If he were to be any more chivalrous, he might have to resort to picking up buns at the cafeteria for dinner today

Although water magic can also condense frost into ice, the taste is quite poor. Therefore, the senior students around began to take out their wallets, eating ice cream while waiting for the evaluation

Her address made Han Yu break out in a cold sweat, wondering when they had developed such a relationship. It was hard to tell that this lively and cheerful girl actually harbored the potential of a witch.

Thus, the crisis has arrived. Coincidentally, the direction in which the battle spear was flung happens to be the very location of Han Yu and his companions in this magical assessment point

"Xiao Mo, long time no see"

Although named the Knights' Order, in addition to the valiant and brave warriors, powerful mages with long-range and area-of-effect spells are equally indispensable. A single type of unit often has fatal flaws, and the reasonable combination of various professions is the source of the Dragon Knights' invincibility.

Han Yu wanted to clarify his relationship with Xue Ling'er, but he stopped before he could finish. At some point, Xue Meiren leaned over and linked her arm with his: "Brother Han Yu, hetushu.com. I'm thirsty and want something to drink!"

Although it was not particularly exciting, Han Yu watched with great interest. In addition to individual tests, there were also team battles that emphasized tacit understanding and cooperation, making everything seem so novel

Just like the six elemental magic types, the attributes of fighting energy also consist of six kinds, each with a specific color. However, for thousands of years, there has never been any mention of silver; what kind of fighting energy could that be

Student Laike's strength is indeed impressive, yet how could the members of the Dragon Knights be easily matched? The old master's experience and keen sense of timing are beyond his comparison. After a fierce exchange of over 300 moves, mistakes are inevitable for both man and horse, and finally, the battle spear in Student Laike's hand was knocked away.

Han Yu was not concerned. Although Xue Ling'er was beautiful and very enthusiastic, he was self-aware enough to know that he did not possess the so-called "kingly aura" that could effortlessly make a beautiful woman fall in love with him for no reason.

... ...

The Snow Maiden is also a clever girl, and her actions were initially just a spur-of-the-moment decision to tease Han Yu. However, the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected. From my observations, Han Yu does not seem to be a stingy person; why then does he appear so troubled? Could it be that he has no money and is quite poor?

Receiving the gold coins handed over by Han Yu, the chubby sprite classmate felt a bit cold on his back, even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky. Could it be that he had been taken advantage of too harshly?

Indeed, junior, how can a young man be so stingy

Isn't it just a draft? Why are you so excited about it?

Han Yu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. A single gold coin? Damn, it would be better to just rob someone. That amount was equivalent to a regular student's living expenses for a week. Even the Sheis chain store of the Rowling-Fane family didn't charge that much, and this was merely for takeout.

Dragons are also a symbol of pride. Throughout the history of the Water Cloud Star, there have been very few who could tame them and become Dragon Knights, and Abit is one of them. He, who possesses a high-ranking Jade Wave Dragon as his steed, is himself a legend

The double-winged wyverns commonly used by your knights' order can strictly be considered a type of sub-dragon at most. The true dragon race has never acknowledged them. However, even this sub-dragon should not be underestimated. Compared to high-ranking dragons, they are indeed worlds apart, yet by the standards of magical beasts, they are already quite formidable.

The Dragon Knight Abit, although his experiences are not as legendary as those of Artina, is one of the three great marshals of the military. With his remarkable military achievements and extraordinary strength, the great Dragon Knight is undoubtedly an idol worshipped by the citizens of the Federation. Being able to join his direct army is also the dream of every passionate young person

Dragon, so many dragons

Han Yu's voice was very soft, yet Xue Ling'er still heard it clearly. She was taken aback, turned around, and looked at the indifferent Han Yu: "What did you say? This is the Dragon Knight Corps!"

"Ice cream, the best ice cream!" A young man from the elf tribe pushed a cart over, and this fellow truly knows how to seize the moment in business

The sages of the Earth once said: "When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will surely bring it down"

It was not the sound of an explosion; after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound. The wizards opened their eyes in astonishment, as a dazzling silver light enveloped everything. At the center of the silver light stood a blurred figure, holding a battle spear that had nearly caused a bloodbath.

The chubby man in front, with a face full of hope, held an ice cream cone, while the beautiful girl beside him looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes, acting coy. Additionally, the senior students around them cast curious glances, intrigued by the scene. Han Yu felt cornered, dizzy, wondering whom he had offended. Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead

"Junior, now that you've won over such a beautiful girl, you mustn't be too stingy; otherwise, she might just choose someone else," a kind senior approached to offer advice, also accompanied by a beautiful girl. To be honest, there aren't many handsome guys in the magic department who are as sunny as he is, and his abilities are quite impressive. He just passed the assessment on stage and without hesitation purchased the Crystal Love.

As the battle guns drew closer, the tips gleamed with a chilling light, and the beautiful senior sisters from the magic department screamed loudly, while the timid ones fainted outright

Your Highness Abiter, greetings

On the planet of Shuiyun, each type of fighting spirit possesses its own attribute: red represents fire, green represents wind, blue represents water, yellow represents earth

However, sadly, there was not a single person standing by Han Yu's side; instead, they all urged him otherwise

The current situation is precisely as such; the sudden turn of events was unforeseen by anyone, let alone preventable. As they watched the approaching battle spears, not only the students but even the examiners from the knightly order changed their expressions drastically. If this were on the battlefield, the knights would assist them in dealing with the first wave of attacks, allowing them to calmly recite their incantations. However, now, where is the time for that?

Unlike the tense emotions of the senior students, the newly admitted freshmen felt excited and intrigued. After receiving permission from the teacher to disperse, they eagerly rushed towards various assessment points. Xue Ling'er remained with Han Yu, and she herself could not understand why she was so interested in the young man before her. Naturally, there were many boys with ulterior motives wanting to join them, but they all met with dismal failures. Although Xue, the beautiful girl, had a lively and cheerful personality, she never showed mercy towards those or things she disliked.

The most detestable thing was that the fat man not only spoke but also took out the Crystal Love.

The tragedy has been averted, yet the astonishment in people's hearts is even greater. Everyone stares blankly at the mysterious expert who has resolved the crisis, effortlessly catching the battle lance that was hurled by the high-ranking knight. What kind of strength must one possess to achieve such a feat?

Seeing Han Yu finally "come to his senses," the seniors around him applauded and cheered for him, but the person involved merely tugged at the corners of his mouth, filled with bitterness... Now he has not a single cent to his name; what will he eat for the next month

The martial arts class has never been short of handsome men, while the magic department is a cradle for beautiful women. The warriors and mages who emerge from Saint Violet have always been sought after by both the military and mercenary groups. However, today, these promising students have lowered their proud heads, anxiously yet excitedly awaiting the upcoming selection.

The two of them briefly discussed and then headed towards the nearest magic assessment point. Although they had come to this otherworld, their master taught them combat energy. However, as a reincarnated person from Earth, especially a fan of fantasy novels, Han Yu had always been very interested in magic, while Xue Ling'er was indifferent. Thus, the final decision was to go and observe the magician's assessment

The students' excitement reached its peak, with many waving frantically at the sky. The class mentors were busy maintaining order, and it was only when the principal spoke that they finally quieted down

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Abiter, accompanied by the principal, reviewed the outstanding students about to graduate. The admiration from the male students goes without saying, and many of the beautiful senior girls in the magic program had stars in their eyes... It is hard to say how many were fantasizing about marrying into it and becoming the wife of a marshal.

Han Yu turned his head to look, but was somewhat sweaty... This was the first time he realized that even elves could grow this fat

This is a great opportunity to showcase your gentlemanly demeanor
