Just as Mulan was about to speak, the voice of a mentor was heard, and he could only shake his head and walk towards Lant. Now he knew why Cody had no chivalry. He really didn't know how Lant and Oliya could have such a son.
The other three instructors also stopped, and Rosser and the other three were swaying on their feet, almost unsteady. Their clothes were full of footprints, and their faces were bruised and purple. It was obvious that they did not take any advantage, but Like Mulan said, he suffered a lot.
Cody rubbed his sore chest and got up from the ground. The long sword in his hand had long been dropped to the side. In just three minutes, he could still hold the weapon in his hand when he fell to the ground. The kick just now was very It was obvious that Mulan had used considerable force and seemed to be really unhappy. However, compared to his own assessment results, Cody was more curious about how Mulan held the Wind Slash with his bare hands and used his fighting spirit. He had never heard of anyone who could resist fighting spirit with his body.
"All assembled."
Cody endured the pain and quickly stood in front of Mulan with his three embarrassed companions, trying his best to hold himself upright and wait for the final result.
Mulan looked at the nervous four people, turned to the three instructors and said: "The assessment is over, now you come to announce the results of your assessment subjects."
"Keda Lintes, passed the assessment."
"Rose Cary, passed the assessment."
"Jeroca Mott, passed the test."
After the three instructors told the results of the assessment, none of the three were happy, but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Mulan.
"You three are very good. When you get to the academy, you will continue to work hard and try not to be one of the bottom. And you, Cody Alton." Mullan paused, and smiled under the nervous gazes of the four people. Cody, you passed the exam. Without that last move, you would probably be the best among the students I recruited this year. I hope you can get rid of these bad things."
"Great!"
The three teenagers jumped up happily, not looking weak at all.
"Shenjing, although your names have not been registered yet, passing the assessment means that you are already a member of the students and will be the soldiers of the empire in the future. Your words and deeds will represent the empire. You must learn how to do it before entering the academy. You know the rules, you feel like following them, and obeying orders. Now, except for Cody, everyone else dismisses and takes your good news home."
The three of them stepped on the ground with their right feet and walked outside together. As for Cody? Who cares about him? The assessment is over anyway. Besides, you don’t see Viscount Alton right next to you.
After the three of them left, Rant came over and gave Cody a hard hammer on the chest, laughing and saying, "That's right, that brat didn't embarrass me. When did you learn how to use Wind Slash secretly? I remember that I didn't teach him I almost made your Uncle Mulan suffer a big loss if I passed you."
Cody's injured chest was slapped like this, and he grinned in pain, but his eyes widened when he heard his father's last words.
Uncle Mulan?
Cody's mind was spinning rapidly, and he finally remembered who the examiner was who looked familiar from the first sight. It turned out to be Uncle Mulan, whom I had often followed when I was a child, but whom I hadn't seen for four years.
Seeing Cody's expression change from confusion to shock, Mulan laughed, "I didn't expect it, Cody, your uncle Mulan is back again. I haven't seen you for four years. You have really grown up. He would only follow me back then." The little thing wandering around has grown up now. Don't say you didn't recognize me. If your father hadn't asked you to come for the assessment, I might not have recognized you outside."
After knowing it was Mulan, the last bit of Cody's nervousness disappeared. He clutched his chest and complained: "Uncle Mulan, I haven't seen him in four years, but you were much more ruthless. You almost kicked me to death."
He slapped Cody on the head and said angrily: "How dare you be unhappy? If you hadn't used such dirty tricks, would I have been angry? Fortunately, your uncle, I was quick to block him, otherwise you would have succeeded." "
Cody rubbed his head and said sheepishly: "Weren't you dizzy at that time? Why would you think so much? Besides, if you hadn't been insulting me, uncle, how could I have been like this?"
"You will talk back when you grow up. I am just saying these words to stimulate you and see how strong you are. It's very good. It didn't disappoint me. It's even better than I expected. Keep up the good work, I'm going there soon. Although you are very good at college, remember that the world is out there. The college is very big and there are many geniuses that you didn’t expect. When you meet them, you will know the gap between you and them. Only hard work and persistence can make you better. Catch up with them quickly."
"I know, Uncle Mulan." Cody was not very interested in this topic and replied lazily.
When Mulan saw Cody like this, he could only laugh and call him a brat.
"Okay, okay, now let's go have dinner first and settle down in the legion at noon. In the evening, everyone will come to my house. I will bring out some good wine collected by the old man to entertain everyone. There are more mentors here than before, It is estimated that the selection will be completed tomorrow morning at most, or even today if it goes faster." Lant put his arm around Mullan's shoulders and walked outside, "By the way, Carruth, don't forget to bring your son with you tonight. Together, bring some of the wine you hid, I'm afraid my father won't be able to bring out too much wine."
Carrus shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't go. I know that Keda is participating in the selection today, and Keda's grandfather and grandmother are here to join me, so I'll stay at home with them. I'll let people go when the wine is ready Just send it to you, anyway, you only invited me for my wine."
"Okay, don't forget the wine." Turante wasn't embarrassed when he was pointed out. He was used to it. Anyway, he was well-known in Norma City for being afraid of his wife.
After eating in the Legion, Cody went home on his own. Although the injury was not serious, the pain in his chest was still severe, and he had to go home quickly and apply some medicine.
After entering the Viscount Mansion and not reaching his room, Cody was stopped by his mother who was about to go out: "Cody, where did you go last night? You didn't come home all night. You just came home now. You are all dirty." , today is the day of selection for the Zhan Zhan Academy, you won’t forget it, right?”
Before Cody could speak, his younger brother, who had escaped from his mother's hands, rushed over and hugged his thigh. Seven-year-old Brandy moved her nose and suddenly shouted: "Brother stinks so much, it all smells of alcohol. It stinks like hell." "
Cody covered Brandi's mouth and said to Oliya, who looked unhappy: "I went to Keda's house last night. I also participated in the selection and passed it. I'm too dirty. I'll go take a shower and change clothes first. .”
After saying that, he dragged Brandy away and ran. He stopped after two steps and turned around and said, "By the way, Uncle Mulan and the tutors from the college will come to the house for dinner in the evening. Dad said to prepare more meals, there will be a lot of people." After saying that, without looking back, he dragged Brandi out of Oliya's sight.
"Mu Lan? This guy is finally willing to come back. I thought he would never come back if he followed that woman." Olya murmured a few words and didn't bother to go out. She turned around and went back to let the servants start preparing. Evening banquet.
Towards evening, Rant finally returned with several mentors. A dozen people sat around the round table, and the old man Himmat Alton, who knew that Mulan had arrived, also returned early from the chess battle with the old guys. , as expected, just as Lant said, he took the initiative to take out a few jars of treasured wine from the cellar for a long time, and with a bit of reluctance, asked the servants to share the wine with everyone.
"This year's recruitment went very smoothly. I didn't expect it to be over in just one day. Thinking about the past times, we didn't have to stay for three to five days to complete, and there were various problems. It wasn't that the candidates were changed. , there are people who always want to use the back door." Lant took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said quietly. How could I normally drink it for such a long time, especially the dwarf-crafted rum collected by my old man, which was simply not comparable to what was usually sold in pubs. Moreover, with Mulan and so many mentors here today, his wife no longer casts cannibalistic glances at her.
Mulan nodded and said: "Indeed, we are much stronger now than before. In addition to the fact that the instructors are more experienced, it is also related to the severe punishment of those who cheated and cheated in consecutive years. Compared with the unskilled instructors, The most troublesome thing is someone who doesn't cooperate. Moreover, there are more mentors participating in the recruitment this year than before, and this is likely to be the case in the next few years."
Seeing that Mulan's face was a little dull, and sensing something in his tone, Lant asked: "Is there any movement at the border?"
"There are some actions, but we can't confirm anything yet. It's just for precaution. Besides, the college now has more tutors, so more tutors can have time to participate in the recruitment, which will also ensure the quality of future students. "
Rant breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I'm really afraid that something will happen again. I haven't had enough of the stable days. Although I really hope to set foot on the battlefield again, I hope to be able to stay calm like this forever."
One of the instructors echoed: "Except for a handful of war madmen, most people hope to maintain the current situation. Once the war starts, we don't know how much blood will be left and how many people will be sacrificed."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's drink to the peace that countless people have sacrificed their lives for."
After everyone drank a glass of wine, Lant continued: "Now that the recruitment is over, when do you plan to return to the academy? You have brought a lot of soldiers with you this time. Although Norma City has recruited nearly 300 people this year, With the number of soldiers and supplies this time, we are still very generous."
"We plan to stay for another five days and let these children stay at home for a few more days. Anyway, we have plenty of time this time, so there is no need to be too anxious."
"Okay, let Cody study the academy's rules in the past two days, so as not to make mistakes when he goes to the academy."
After Lant finished speaking, he came with the academy tutor. The old man who had never spoken suddenly said: "Mr. Lant, I don't think you need to teach Cody those things. He may not be able to go to the War College."
Rant was shocked when he heard this, glanced at Mulan, and then said to the old man: "Excuse me, what does this mean? Is there anything bad about Cody?"
Mulan was even more shocked, "Gan Dashi, could you please explain some of the reasons?"
The old man called Master Gan stood up slowly. Instead of explaining to Lant, he walked towards Cody and said, "Little guy, put your hand here." As he said that, a transparent crystal ball suddenly appeared in his hand like magic. .
Cody looked at his father in confusion, but found that Uncle Mulan kept nodding towards him. Knowing that Mulan would not hurt him, Cody followed Master Gan's words and put his hand up.
Master Gan continued: "Now, imagine a power that is beyond your reach, and imagine putting it on a crystal ball."
Cody was wondering what was the power that he couldn't touch and how to put it. After a moment of silence, he simply closed his eyes and tried his best to imagine. After a long time, he felt his hands feel a trace of heat in the cold crystal ball. When he opened his eyes, a fiery red color appeared in the originally transparent crystal ball. The light spots and the hot feeling seemed to come from these light spots.
"Okay, that's enough." Master Gan put away the crystal ball and smiled a little at Cody, "Cody, I now formally invite you to study with me at Barton College. Are you willing?"
Barton College? What's this? Another war college? Why have I never heard of it?
Compared to Cody's doubts, Lant thought for a moment and stood up suddenly, "You mean Barton College? Who are you?"
Mulan also recovered from the shock. He did not expect that Master Gan, who unexpectedly came with him, would take the initiative to invite Cody. He stood up and said to Lant, who looked in disbelief: "Let me explain, Master Gan is the magic instructor of Barton College. I met him by chance when I was preparing to set off from the imperial capital. After I learned that I was coming to Norma City to recruit students for the college, After choosing the academy, Master Gan hoped to come with me, so we came together. As for Master Gan’s identity, you don’t have to doubt it. I have known Master Gan a long time ago, so his identity will never be fake.”
Magic tutor? What is that? But Magician Cody still knew about it. Not only did he know about it, he even met three of them. He was in the third legion. He was lucky enough to meet him once when he attended a banquet with his father. I remember that those three magicians were very arrogant. Even the city lord The adults are all respectful to them. So is Master Gan also a magician now?
