Chapter 07: The Pride of the Victors

The student union tower, to be precise, stands at a height of 500 meters and covers an area of approximately several thousand square kilometers, exuding unparalleled luxury

There is nothing strange about it. I have no father or mother, and naturally, no one helped me choose a name. Having grown up on the battlefield since childhood, both enemies and companions refer to me this way; Red Hair is my name.

"Are you recruiting us?" Xia Li said in surprise

She cast a cold glance at the young man, and the red-haired individual turned to leave. After taking a few steps, however, she stopped and, without looking back, asked, "Before me, there should have been someone who passed the assessment with the Earth Bear Crystal Core. Who was it?"

The red-haired youth instinctively wanted to evade the young man's right hand, but just as this thought arose, his right arm had already been seized by the young man, causing a fleeting sense of horror to flash through his mind

Aaron performed a knightly salute to the young man and hurriedly followed behind Shali, leaving the hall.

In this way, I have taken another step closer to you, senior.

The young man glanced at Aaron with a hint of meaning, accepted the crystal core, and congratulated them once more, saying, "Congratulations on passing this trial and remaining in the academy. Now, please hold your heads high; you are the pride of our academy"

It is merely the accumulation of a few more layers of history and solemnity, which renders it even more dignified and ancient

The young man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he exclaimed, "Crystal nucleus"

Xiali admired the clothes a few times, saying, "This is a very nice outfit, much more stylish than the academy uniform"

This is the proof. The red-haired youth threw out a bag

At this time, the representatives and the library staff should be handling official business in the student council

The reason Aaron wants to join the student council is simply to help Noah

Up to now, such ancient buildings are rarely seen in the empire

The large door slowly closed, and the young man maintained a smile on his face, murmuring: "The youngest of the Rhine family, along with the descendant of Noah, what an extraordinary combination this is, no wonder... no wonder..."

The undulating houses, dense jungles, playgrounds one after another, magnificent castles of various colors, luxurious teaching buildings, restaurants, shops, and roads that crisscross like a spider's web

The young man took the bag and opened it, discovering that it contained at least twenty to thirty badges, and on top of the badges was a yellowish crystal core

This is the Sky Knight Academy, the pride of the Sky Empire

It was a spire soaring several hundred meters high, standing alone at the center of the academy, aligned with the heavens, as if it were a conduit connecting to the sky, remarkably dazzling

"Then, we shall take our leave," said Xia Li to the young man

I am willing! Aaron nodded without hesitation, while Xia Li covered her face, looking as if she had already known this.

This is the unique uniform of the Student Management Committee, distinct from the uniform of the Sky Knights Academy

Although I have observed the Student Union Tower from a distance and have marveled at its grandeur, it is only when standing directly in front of it that I realize how superficial my previous admiration was

Compared to the crystal core I just saw, the one in front of me is at least about twice as large as the former

Red hair

... ...

Aaron controlled his footsteps and quickly ran towards the student council

"Perhaps. " The young man smiled faintly and asked, "What is your name?"

The young man’s expression turned serious as he resolutely declined, "I’m sorry, I am not qualified to speak their names."

The young man shook his head and smiled, saying: "It's not that easy. Joining the student council requires a rigorous assessment; it's not up to just one person. If you are willing, you can apply."

"Never mind, I heard that the student council members are extremely busy and have no spare time at all," Xia Li shook her head

"Wait a moment..." Xia Li took out the crystal core of the young bear from his pocket and handed it over

What is the senior doing now? They should be happy to have passed the assessment.

What glory is there to speak of, we are still far from it; however, I can tell you the name, it is Xia Li · Rhine

Since the assessment has been passed, the first thing to do is naturally to share the good news with Senior Noah. Xia Li also wants to discuss the events that occurred during the assessment training period with her sister at home. After the two agreed to have dinner together, they parted ways in front of the Hall of Victors.

What about you?" The young man's gaze turned to Aaron

Congratulations to Aaron and Shali. It is a slender man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, dressed in a perfectly fitted yet extremely luxurious black uniform, with a knight's sword entwined in thorns embroidered on his chest

"Mind your own business," the red-haired youth said coldly, waving his right arm.

Therefore, when that person asked whether he wanted to join the student council, Aaron agreed without hesitation

Half an hour later, the door of the victor was pushed open once again

"Do not move recklessly," the young man said in a low voice, as a flash of blue light flickered from his right hand. He swiftly made a cut on his swollen right arm, and the red-haired youth felt a slight numbness in his right arm, while black bruised blood flowed down his arm.

Of course it is battle, I enjoy fighting strong opponents, those people in the jungle are too weak, too weak indeed

The young man smiled and said, "As long as one can pass the academy's assessment, the victors are the pride of the academy. This is beyond doubt. Now, tell me your names. Let the academy remember your glory"

"It's fine." The red-haired individual walked away without looking back

Congratulations to you all

Once the assessment results are released, starting from the second place, I will challenge them one by one, and I will naturally find them.

"Adult bear!" the young man exclaimed in surprise

Then please submit your application to the student council in three days. The young man nodded slightly, extended his right hand, and said, Now, please hand me the proof of victory.

The entrant has red hair and carries a spear taller than himself

Here is the hall of victors

Aaron and Shari walked side by side along the red carpet in the center of the main hall, passing by one stone pillar after another, until they reached the end of the carpet

The swollen right arm rapidly decreased in size at a visible pace, returning to its original dimensions

As the crimson carpet was laid out, the atmosphere of the grand hall seemed to grow heavy, with a faint scent of blood lingering in the air

"Do you say this to every winner?" Xia Li asked nonchalantly, while Aaron anxiously tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to refrain from speaking carelessly

The young man smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice, "If you like it, you can join the student council."

This is indeed a strange name

Although the construction of the student union tower is immensely grand, its membership consists of only a mere few hundred individuals, among whom is Noah.

Upon hearing the surname Rhine, the young man was once again taken aback, but he quickly suppressed his surprise

Having joined the student council for less than half a year, I ascended to the position of Executive Chairperson of the student council with outstanding abilities, officially becoming one of the key figures in the student council.

Pushing open the grand stone door adorned with intricate patterns of mysterious designs, one enters a vast main hall behind it

Perhaps because today is a very special day, the youth's astonishment goes far beyond this

Even after several centuries, the Student Union Tower still shines as brightly as new, its white exterior adorned with incomprehensible patterns, exuding an elegant artistic aura, as if time has left no trace upon it

Standing at the top of the * Tower * of the book, one can have a complete view of the entire academy

The young man scrutinized the red-haired boy from head to toe, his gaze inevitably lingering on the boy's right arm, which was thicker than his thigh. His brow furrowed once more as he extended his right hand slowly towards the red-haired boy's right arm

Upon witnessing such a situation, the young man involuntarily furrowed his brow

The Student Union is entirely constructed of white marble, and its construction began during the early establishment of the Sky Knights Academy. It took a full century to complete, with several renovations along the way, resulting in the luxurious Student Union we see today

At the Sky Knight Academy, the office of the Student Council is undoubtedly the largest and most prominent symbol. No matter where one is within the academy, simply looking up will reveal the Student Council.

The shock and unparalleled admiration deep within cannot be expressed in words

When Aaron first laid eyes on it, he was stunned by the solemnity and grandeur that struck him, as if he were an ant looking up in awe at the seemingly limitless heights of the student council.

What is your business with them

Xiali helplessly glanced at Aaron and said, "This fool doesn't want to take away others' hopes, so we have no choice but to target the crystal core. It was truly dangerous at that time; we almost didn't make it back.

Aaron Gabriel

As Aaron walked, he found it difficult to contain the waves of excitement surging within him, causing his steps to involuntarily quicken.

Congratulations. When the red-haired youth approached the young man, the latter's furrowed brow had already smoothed out silently, and a smile once again graced his face
