Chapter 569: Test

“Such power!”

Louise, Pato, and Brand all got concerned.

“This mysterious person only said one sentence, and we already sensed so much pressure. His strength is far beyond the instructors and teachers at Chambord’s Civil and Military University,” they thought.

“Why is there such a powerful master in this little town?” the three of them were shocked.

They received the best and most scientific training, and they were much better than that bald guard who didn’t know anything.

Louise still had a bright smile on her beautiful face, but she made a hand gesture behind her back. Pato and Brand instantly understood their leader’s intent and quietly adjusted their positions. The three of them were able to coordinate very well, and they were all calculating the best possible escape path that they could take if the situation got too dangerous.

They knew how to do this since it was one of the mandatory courses in Chambord’s Civil and Military University.

“I’m an envoy from Chambord. Therefore, after encountering strangers, it is my duty to ask for more information……” Louise raised her head and replied sincerely after she felt ready.

Before she could finish, an insane amount of pressure crushed down toward her. It felt like a gigantic mountain was falling from the sky.

“You……” Louise and the two boys were shocked; they didn’t expect this mysterious man to attack them instantly.

Also, as this mysterious person attacked, he blocked off all the exits in the pub. It felt like this man saw through their thoughts and instantly obliterated their plans.

Now, these three kids had to use all that they got.

As Louise quickly backed off, she reached out her hand and took out a scroll from her storage ring; it was the [Scroll of the King’s Order].

The scroll rolled open in the wind. As Louise started to chant a spell, a mystic sensation appeared in the pub.

At the same time, both Pato and Brand charged forward.

They drew their swords, dashed forward on both sides of Louise, and came back together, shoulder to shoulder. As their wood-elemental and ice-elemental warrior energies combined, the warrior energy flames brightened as the two elements complimented each other. Together, they tried to stop or at least slow down the pressure that was coming at them.

“Green-Wood Sword Strike!!!!!!”

“White-Snow Floating Chop!!!!!!”

As they shouted, they used their most powerful techniques.

These two combat techniques were created by the most powerful person in Chambord, King Alexander, and they were designed specifically for the students in the Civil and Military University. Although they were basic and had strange names, after the students learned the fundamentals from the mysterious instructors, these simple techniques were extremely effective; the practitioners could deal 200% the damage!

Bam! Bam!

However, before they could fully use the techniques, that pressure got to them. Like two pieces of paper in front of wild wind, they were blown into the air! They couldn’t even stop that pressure for one second!

“Appear! King Alexander’s Protection!!!!”

Fortunately, Louise broke the record for the amount of time it took to activate the scroll; she instantly completed the spell. As she shouted, dashes of flames shot out of the [Scroll of the King’s Order]. The two-headed dog jumped out of the scroll, roared, and turned into a black energy shield.

At the same time, Louise didn’t hesitate and cast several spells on herself, such as floating spell, light-body spell, agility spell, and strength spell……

Then, she turned into a dash of red lightning, grabbed Pato and Brand who were knocked away and almost fainted, and tried to escape.

Her timing, movements, choice of escape path were clear and top-rated.

Bam!

The huge black shield only lasted three seconds.

Crack!

This crackling noise wasn’t loud, but it shocked these three kids.

They knew that the [Scrolls of the King’s Order] were magic scrolls created by King Alexander His Majesty; they could be used as identification token as well as powerful weapons since several defensive and offensive magic spells were stored in them. This spell called King Alexander’s Protection would create a powerful energy shield, and it was capable of blocking the full-on strikes of a low-tier New Moon Elite!

“It isn’t able to block this person? Is he a master beyond the realm of low-tier New Moon?”

With Pato and Brand in her hands, Louise sprinted forward without daring enough to look back. She instantly broke open the gate and dashed out of the pub; each of her steps covered a distance of at least four meters.

“Huh. We finally made it out! We need to report back to the Chambord City! Such a powerful master appeared in the territory……”

Louise took a deep breath and was about to charge forward again, but she shivered again; a shocked expression appeared on her face!

That mysterious man already appeared in front of them and blocked their way, and she didn’t even detect it until now!

“Too powerful! We couldn’t do anything to him!” Louise thought.

She felt very powerless, but she reacted fast. She swung her arms and threw the two boys to the left and right side of her. With a valiant expression on her face, she shouted, “Go! Don’t worry about me! You must deliver the news! Tell Mr. Bast and Mr. Brook to be prepared! There is a powerful master who is hostile toward our kingdom!”

At this moment, Louise was ready to risk her life and buy time for her peers. She had to make sure that her peers could get the message out.

It didn’t matter what this mysterious person’s background was; Chambord had to be prepared.

“If this master really tries to attack the Chambord Castle, it would be devastating for the kingdom!” Louise thought.

As this girl was about to activate the second spell that was stored in the scroll, she was stunned again. As if a bolt of lightning was traveling through her body, her body shivered as she rubbed her eyes, trying to make sure that she didn’t see illusions.

“What? Girl, you said that you are going to be my lover. Why? You don’t recognize me anymore?”

Fei turned around, revealed his identity, and smiled.

“Ah! You are…… Alexander? It…… it is really you? King Alexander His Majesty?” Suddenly seeing the legend in Chambord and the idol of every student in the university, Louise who was a fast thinker blushed and couldn’t get a full sentence out.

Pato, who was rushing back and trying to save Louise, was stunned when he got close; an overly-excited expression appeared on his face.

Brand, who bent his back and was on the run, heard Louise’s gasp and froze. After he made sure that the situation was safe, he rushed back with a similar overly-excited expression.

However, after a little while, he suddenly thought of something and single-kneeled. With his head lowered and face blushed, he stuttered, “Your Majesty, I…… I’m not afraid of death and wasn’t trying to save my own life. I……”

When Louise threw the two boys away a second ago, they made different decisions.

Pato couldn’t ditch his peer and rushed back to fight alongside Louise, but Brand didn’t hesitate and decided to dash into the bushes and escape. Now, he was really nervous; he was afraid that the supreme ruler of the kingdom, his idol, would misunderstand his decision……

Fei laughed and waved his hand, and a gentle energy helped Brand off the ground. “When faced with danger, choosing to escape doesn’t mean that you are a coward. Rather, it requires more bravery. Your decision might be misunderstood by others, but it is more valuable than dying alongside your peers…… Haha, don’t look at me like that. These are all a part of the curriculum in the university, right? I wrote all the textbooks. Eh, Brand, I know that you tried to escape because you want to get this message passed to people like Bast, just like what Louise asked you to do.”

Tears appeared in Brand’s eyes.

He and Pato had different personalities. Pato was more emotional and short-tempered, but he was more cool-headed and logical. That was why they made different decisions just now.

“King Alexander His Majesty is indeed kind and wise. Also, his strength is also beyond our imaginations! Haha, we got to battle with His Majesty a little! We can show off to our classmates, and they will be so jealous!” Pato and Brand thought excitedly.

“Hehe, Alexander is just as smart and powerful as before…… Eh, most importantly, he is even more handsome than before!” Louise thought to herself like Fei’s little fangirl.

“Hahaha, great! Your performances sure surprised me! It looks like the Civil and Military University sure created a bunch of talents for the kingdom!” Fei was happy with what he saw. Although these three kids were different, they were talented in their own ways.

At this time, Angela and the others walked out of the pub with smiles on their faces.

“Angela! Torres!” Louise’s eyes lit up as she jumped into Angela’s arms. She and Angela had a great relationship; Angela always cared for this girl who lost her mother at a young age and had a father who was a little careless.

Pato and Brand could only stand on the side nervously and watch enviously.

However, they soon got excited since they saw another idol of theirs! Torres, one of the few legendary warriors of Chambord! He started as a weak young man, but he became the most trusted guard of King Alexander, and he got into the top-20 in the competition at St. Petersburg, making a name for himself.

[Son of Wind] Fernando Torres was one of the most popular names in Chambord’s Civil and Military University.
