Chapter 01: Young Aaron
The woman in front of Aaron, dressed in the uniform of the Sky Knight Academy, is Shali's sister, Shalan Rhine
Xiali complained about Aaron's back, recalling the classes from this morning, and suddenly felt a headache coming on
It is said that these eyes have mutated after cultivating a peculiar type of fighting spirit, making them extremely powerful
A qualified formal knight can defeat ten, twenty, or even more trained infantry squads on the battlefield
Good morning, the sun is shining brightly
Please wait a moment. The voice was sharp, like the sound of thin ice cracking
The reason for the scarcity of knights is singular: fighting spirit, which is not something that everyone can cultivate
These were all told to Aaron by Senior Noah
Xiali instinctively shivered, let out a strange cry, and ran away.
The morning consists of theoretical classes, while the afternoon is dedicated to practical training
At the Sky Knight Academy, there are not few women, but when counted, they are not too many either
Generally speaking, most students who aspire to become formal knights are in the fourth grade
In the subsequent five hundred years, the Sky Knight Academy continuously produced elite knights for the Sky Empire each year. Every knight who graduated from here became a standout on the battlefield, a favored child of destiny
At that moment, Aaron was stunned to realize that his guide was such an impressive figure
In the year 1500 of the Dragon Lance Chronicle, the deep crimson dragon rider Adolric Adolf engraved this phrase above the entrance of the Sky Knight Academy. From that day forward, the Sky Knight Academy became a milestone.
The girl had waist-length golden hair, and her gaze was as deep as the blue sky
To become a formal knight, cultivating the foundational combat techniques to the tenth level is merely one important condition. Furthermore, one must undergo rigorous assessments, such as practical combat abilities, personal character, and beliefs, among others
Here, we never nurture waste
With a creak, the door at the corner of the right corridor on the second floor was opened by someone and a book. Aaron yawned as he stepped out and turned to walk downstairs
His fearful demeanor naturally pleased Noah greatly.
I am not skilled in such things as theory
From a very young age, he was discovered to have the talent to become a knight. Educated by his family for over a decade, he has already set the paladin as the goal of his life
Unlike Noah's imposing demeanor, Shalan possesses a clean and neat short hairstyle. Although her body has a slight washboard appearance, she is very kind, especially with her pair of red eyes, which make her even more enchanting
The Sky Empire, with a legacy spanning a thousand years, occupies nearly half of the Dragon Lance Continent, boasting a population of billions, yet it possesses only a mere few hundred thousand knights.
Institutional campus
And fighting spirit is the foundation of a knight
Aaron was sweating profusely and chuckled dryly, saying: "Senior Xialan, if this continues, Xiali will die"
For Xia Li, who has a particular fondness for practical classes, theoretical courses are undoubtedly a source of great frustration
In the Dragonlance continent, knights are the mainstream and the most noble profession
As for Xia Li and Xia Lan, this noble brother and sister pair grew up in luxury and abundance, naturally possessing a strong immunity to such things
The theoretical class in the morning covers a wide range of content, including battlefield knowledge that knights need to know, self-rescue methods, the differences between mountainous and grassland terrains, as well as the best timing and gestures for maneuvering, retreating, and attacking
Each new cohort of students will have their own guides, who may be senior students from the college or teachers. These guides will, through their words and actions, help the newcomers understand the world of knights and the Sky Knight Academy
Thus, knights are always the talents that the empire yearns for
The Sky Knight Academy will never refuse anyone, whether noble or commoner; here, everyone is treated equally. This is one of the most important reasons why the Sky Knight Academy has become the foremost knight academy of the Sky Empire.
"Xiali, please hurry up, otherwise you will be late," Aaron shouted loudly while walking.
Only by possessing fighting spirit can one have the possibility of becoming a knight
How to defeat the enemy, the weaknesses of the human body and self-awareness
Heaven's Punishment! Suddenly, a furious shout echoed from afar, and the hurried footsteps sounded like a raging storm.
This is the purpose of such luxurious architecture in the academy, and those who are often corrupted by these extravagant things will be expelled from the academy, forever losing their eligibility to become knights
On the first day Aaron entered the cafeteria, he was severely reprimanded by Noah, and now he has barely developed the will to resist such situations.
Noah Sky, when she became a formal knight, caused a sensation throughout the entire academy. Her knight's badge was personally awarded by the headmaster, which reflects her prominence within the academy
The Basic Combat Techniques are divided into ten levels. Once someone is able to cultivate to the tenth level, they will naturally possess the qualifications to become a formal knight
Aaron! Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. Aaron turned his head to see his deskmate, Xia Li, looking at him with concern. "What’s wrong with you? You've been distracted all morning."
Whether it is Noah or Shalan, both are outstanding figures, naturally admired by many. Regardless of whether they are in higher or lower grades, they possess immense popularity
Even within the academy, the competition is exceptionally fierce, and any mistake could potentially lead to a reason for leaving this institution
When Noah and Shalan arrived at the cafeteria, it immediately caused a stir
In the year 2010 of the Dragonlance Chronicles, during the summer, the Sky Knight Academy completed the enrollment of its five hundredth new class one month ago
Of course. Xia Li readily nodded, wrapping his arm around Aaron's neck, "Who are we? We are the future duo of paladins."
Therefore, every time she appears, it naturally causes a stir
Even if it is merely a cafeteria, it is still constructed with the opulence and extravagance of a noble restaurant
"No, no." The vibrant woman waved her hand, her expression one of indifference. "My foolish younger brother has been like this since childhood; he has died hundreds of times and yet remains alive. How could he possibly be so easily killed by me?"
Xiali's full name is Xiali Lain, and he is an ambitious individual. Unlike Aaron, who is a commoner, he is a noble.
After a brief bout of playful scuffling, the four of them made their way to the cafeteria of the academy
Nevertheless, attending classes is essential; otherwise, one may easily fail during assessments and consequently be expelled from the Sky Knight Academy
Extremely dazzling
His life goals command great respect from Aaron
The Sky Knight Academy is the most renowned institution in the Sky Empire, and each year the Empire allocates substantial funds to support the operation of this academy
The woman nodded slightly and said, "As Aaron's guide, it is my duty."
The towering gate, as high as the vast sky, stands firmly closed, rejecting all visitors
Therefore, the students here receive the best education and the most exceptional enjoyment
The senior is indeed very dedicated; in comparison, my guide is lacking significantly. I hardly see her all day long. Where on earth has she gone to fool around? What an irresponsible person she is.
"No, it's nothing." Aaron hurriedly shook his head to cover up his embarrassment and quickly changed the subject, "Lunch, would you like to go eat together?"
In the next moment, the Xia Li shot out like a cannonball, and after a brief moment in the air, it collided with a stone pillar.
The two of them laughed and chatted as they left the classroom. Not long after, a sound came from behind them.
In a moment, a girl dressed as a knight appeared before the young man
Especially Noah, she is also a formal knight, and such a status makes her brilliance almost overshadow all the women within the Sky Knight Academy
The Sky Knight Academy is reputed to be the foremost knight academy of the Empire, and there are indeed reasons for this.
You have already been in the academy for a month, why are you still in such high spirits
"Why ... ... ?" Slowly sliding down from the stone pillar, the summer car foamed at the mouth
With a guide, newcomers will take fewer detours and find it easier to establish their life goals
Lunch quickly came to an end amidst the laughter and chatter of the four. As they parted ways, Noah subtly exchanged a glance with Aaron, who nodded in acknowledgment. They bid each other a cheerful farewell and walked towards their respective dormitories with Shali.
The Basic Combat Techniques are fundamental to all forms of combat energy, possessing unique advantages such as quick mastery and a solid foundation
The morning class passed quickly, and when Xia Li freed himself from a mind full of theories, he found that his friend seemed to be in a state of reverie
Even at the Sky Knight Academy, becoming a formal knight in the second year can be considered a once-in-a-century talent
This is a goal that has been forged through countless trials, unshakeable by any circumstance
Within the academy, there are not a few individuals who are complacent and lack ambition
After a month of such sensationalism, Aaron has become accustomed to it.
With a dull thud, a vibrant woman suddenly leaped from the top of the Xia Li, and at the moment of landing, she kicked the Xia Li in the chest.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will be right there." A lazy voice came from the room, and after a while, a boy who was about the same height as Aaron walked out.
He has black hair and black eyes, which are unique characteristics of the imperial people. He stands at approximately 1.7 meters tall and has a rather slender build, yet he conveys a very vigorous impression
In the worldly trials of life, only through indulgence in luxurious pleasures, while maintaining a resilient will that is not corrupted, can one possibly become an outstanding knight
A sacred place that illuminates the entire Sky Empire
The number of individuals expelled from the academy each year for these reasons is exceedingly large
Naturally, the Sky Knight Academy has become a dream destination for the youth of the Empire
This tradition was proposed by the founder of the Sky Knights Academy and has been passed down to the present day, enduring the test of time, remaining one of the oldest traditions that has not faded.
In this way, it becomes clear at a glance who can cultivate fighting energy and who cannot. There is no need to go to great lengths to seek out so-called talents
As early as several hundred years ago, in order to select more talents with the ability to cultivate fighting spirit, the Sky Empire disseminated the basic training methods of fighting spirit throughout the nation, almost ensuring that each person had a copy
Confident, resolute, beautiful, just like the war goddess in mythology
The world will never be unjust, for within our hearts, there remains the scale of morality
The Guide is a long-standing tradition at the Sky Knights Academy and is also the most popular tradition among the students
From the footsteps alone, it is not difficult for the youth to imagine what kind of person has arrived
Only by combining theory and practice can elite knights be cultivated
In the eyes of the common people, knights who defend the homeland and fight in battle are considered more noble than the lofty aristocrats.
Regardless of the circumstances, she is merely an older sister who likes her younger brother but does not know how to express it, which is why she often resorts to using her fists to convey her affection
The courses at the Sky Knight Academy are very simple, divided into two parts
Then, a series of crisp footsteps approached, characterized by decisiveness and devoid of any confusion, as if they could break through any obstacles, embodying a steadfast belief in their purpose
Upon seeing the woman, Xia Li first pinched Aaron mischievously before greeting her, "Oh, Senior Noah, are you here to see Aaron"
Collide
