Chapter 18 18. Testing

The training ground of the Elf Academy gathers many young elves, all of whom are freshmen entering the academy this year.

Everyone is full of curiosity about the elementary martial arts training course.

Hearing instructor Abbott Nora's shout, everyone gathered around.

The elves at the training ground were clearly divided into two teams.

Gathering around Instructor Abbott Nora, the shape of the team is like an upper lip and a lower lip.

They are completely separated from each other, with aisles at both ends that only allow one person to pass.

The large team was composed of Silver Moon elves. These young people from the Silver Moon elves gathered together, and some young noble students stood at the front of the group.

Another group is composed of mixed-blood elves. The number of mixed-blood elves living in the lower town of Castleton City is increasing year by year. Young mixed-blood elves will also save money in a planned way after finding a job.

Completed studies at Elf Academy.

Roy stood in the group of mixed elves.

But because he still wanted to chat with Claire for a few more words, the two of them stood in the gap that separated the two groups.

Claire stood on the side of the silver moon elves, and Roy stood on the side of the mixed-blood elves.

There are many new students in the same situation as the two of them. Some Silver Moon elves don't care about blood inheritance, and they have made friends with some mixed-blood elves...

"This instructor Nora is the best instructor in the academy for teaching elementary martial arts. There should be a physical fitness test later."

Claire whispered to Roy.

There was some noise around, and everyone had not yet calmed down from the excitement of enrolling.

Instructor Abbott Nora is a silver moon elf woman with silver hair that just hangs down to her shoulders.

She stood in the middle of the empty field and looked very patient. She waited until the sounds around her began to subside before she began to say:

"Since no one is ready to quit, let me see how your physical fitness, body flexibility, and balance are! You need to take a physical fitness test before admission. I hope everyone present will agree with my standards."

She held the hilt of the sword at her waist with one hand, and rested the thumb of the other hand on the arrow pot, looking heroic.

"How did you know she would let us take a physical test?" Roy asked Claire in a low voice.

Claire said casually:

"From what my sister said, she was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass this test, so she asked me to do some training a year in advance..."

"..."

Roy was speechless.

During this year, he spent almost all his time on dreaming and fishing.

"Then do you know what the test project is?" Roy asked.

Claire raised her light golden eyebrows and said proudly:

"Of course, it's an obstacle course. You need to pass the various obstacle facilities on the grassland over there within a certain time limit."

After speaking, he pointed to the other side of the training ground.

Roy looked in the direction of his finger, and through the crowd he saw a row of obstacles including puddles, stone walls, mounds of dirt, etc. on the west side of the field. There were obvious traces of being trampled by countless people on the grass.

Instructor Abbott Nora walked in front.

The two groups were on her left and right sides, following her in that direction.

Roy was a little nervous. He had no preparation before class.

This obstacle includes a single-plank bridge over a puddle, a stone wall built on piles of rocks, and it also extends into the woods, which seems very difficult.

Roy even saw a stone cliff several meters high in the woods...

The corridor extends from the other side of the forest, connecting to a long and narrow low wall and returning to the starting point.

Instructor Abbott Nora stood in front and explained the rules.

Roy planned to squeeze to the front to listen.

At this time, several Silver Moon elves suddenly squeezed through the crowd, and several people surrounded Claire and Roy.

There were many small groups among this group of elf students. Roy did not see any conflicts among these small groups, and he did not expect that he would actually run into trouble.

Two elves wearing light leather armor walked up to Claire and stared at Claire with playful expressions.

Claire stared back not to be outdone.

"Claire, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be in the martial arts training class."

One of them, a silver-haired elf wearing light armor with an exquisite dagger stuck on his waist, greeted Claire, his words carrying a strong smell of gunpowder.

He reached out and patted Claire's shoulder, leaned into Claire's ear, and said jokingly: "When we are divided into groups, don't rush to form a team with others. We have such a good relationship, so we naturally have to take care of each other."

Claire pushed his hand away and responded coldly: "Steve, regardless of your concern, we have no friendship."

The elf named Steve raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What you said is really chilling. If it weren't for your sister's blessing, I wouldn't be standing here today..."

His eyes flashed across Roy's face, with a mocking smile on his lips: "Who is this?"

"Roy."

Roy replied.

He didn't expect to encounter such a thing on his first day at school.

He just wants to study quietly in the academy and is not planning to cause trouble...

But since you have become friends with Claire, if you back down now, you may be seen as a 'coward' in the eyes of others in the future.

He didn't want to have such a bad reputation as a friendless person just after entering the Elf Academy.

Although he was a bit over the top, Roy still chose to stand unswervingly by Claire's side.

The two of them looked at the Silver Moon elves opposite them coldly...

Claire glanced at Roy gratefully.

Although Roy didn't know what the campus atmosphere of the Elf Academy was like, he felt that this group of elves would not blatantly cause trouble in class.

Sure enough, the two sides were only in a stalemate for a few seconds, and they had already attracted the attention of the surrounding elves.

The young elf named Steve just laughed and said, "Claire, have your tastes changed? Do you like making friends with half-elves?"

"Keep your mouth clean," Claire scolded in a low voice.

"Everyone, the test has begun. Everyone, please prepare. Please don't gather in groups later..."

Through the crowd, instructor Abbott Nora's voice came over.

The elves surrounding here dispersed with a bang.

Without the barrier of the crowd, I would not dare to confront instructor Abbott Nora.

Steve turned around, glanced back at Claire, and walked out of the crowd first with a smile.

Roy felt that Steve was looking back at him just now. Thinking of Claire's various behaviors at the beginning of school, he began to pay attention to the students in the junior martial arts training class on the first day of reporting. Obviously, he should have expected today's conflict...

…

"Sorry for bringing you into this."

Claire said with a stern expression.

What else could Roy say without directly saying, 'Let's break off our relationship now!'

I could only pat Claire on the shoulder and say to him:

"No matter what, I will stand by your side."

Claire was a little moved and said to Roy:

"That guy is Steve. He is not a freshman this year. He has deliberately failed to pass the exam in the elementary martial arts training course just to block me."

Roy asked him: "Why did he block you?"

Claire smiled heartlessly:

"It can be considered a family feud. When my sister was in class at the college, she also blocked people in her family. This Steve was beaten severely by my sister for half a month last year. Every time she went to class, she would beat him like a pig's head.

"

"...So people are coming to your door this year and are planning to deal with you?" Roy was simply speechless.

Claire also tapped her forehead a little depressed, and said distressedly:

"I didn't expect that my sister would attend some exchange activities at the Elf Academy at this time..."

Roy glanced at him and exposed him unceremoniously:

"Even if she doesn't participate in the exchange activities, she won't choose to take another elementary martial arts training class."
