174 Entry

The main hall of the dormitory.

　　As they both shouted out Han Dong's English name at the same time, they immediately looked at each other off to the side.

　　"Aaron's classmate?"

　　Cass, on the other hand, had a sunny smile and gave a slight nod of his head in a friendly gesture to this Witch Apprentice.

　　Thinking that this girl was one of the female students within the Mystic Academy who had a pretty good relationship with Han Dong, However, Cass was still subjectively optimistic that Han Dong would be able to develop a better relationship with Celeste.

　　Mia, however, stared at the righteous blond knight with a strange face.

　　"Strange, how could he make friends with such an upright knight that would increase the risk of his 'secret' being exposed?"

　　As for Han Dong, he was helpless, but she actually came to his door even though he had obviously asked her to stop pestering him.

　　"This woman,"

　　However, since Cass was also in the lobby area, it was impossible for Han Dong to just tell Mia to 'fuck off'.

　　Just as Han Dong smiled back at the two of them.

　　Mia didn't even care about what had happened that day and went forward to take Han Dong's skinny arm, "Let's go, Let's go to the [Semyol Knight Arena] together and cheer through the preliminaries together."

　　Being proactively affixed by such a young girl with a beautiful body and face, in a normal male, 100% would be willing.

　　But Han Dong was different.

　　Immediately activating a certain ability, so much so that there seemed to be something foreign squirming in Han Dong's right arm.

　　Mia, due to her spider's keen perception, let go of her hand when she sensed the danger, reflexively.

　　Just as Mia let go of her hand, Han Dong took the initiative to walk over towards Cass.

　　A happy look of a good buddy who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

　　After a friendly embrace, Cass, as usual, put his strong arm around Han Dong's shoulders and walked out of the dormitory building while talking about some of the events that had happened in the past three months.

　　Mia mumbled somewhat angrily, but inside she was extremely excited, "Wow, I didn't know he was that good. That's great!"

　　As the two men hooked up and walked out of the dormitory building.

　　Cass also noticed the girl following silently behind him, but asked Han Dong out of courtesy.

　　"That, that girl, won't you introduce her?"

　　"I don't know her very well, it's just that she's pestering me unilaterally, she's a [Witch Kellonia Mason]'s student, a freshman who entered the school in the same batch as me."

　　"Head Witch's student!?"

　　There were a few familiar big names in the school, Cass listened knowing.

　　He even turned back and waved to the girl again, briefly introducing his name.

　　Then Cass tilted his head and whispered in Han Dong's ear.

　　"Have you kid already taken up with the Celeste Knight? That's why you don't dare to get involved with any of the women out there?"

　　"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just in an ordinary relationship with Sister Vino.

　　I just simply don't want to deal with girls, it will affect my studies."

　　"Ha-ha! Like I thought, whenever I had time to come home, my father would ask me to think about things with Sophia.

　　However, I'm at an important stage in my growth right now, so I can't think about these things yet.

　　Besides, I can't give Sophia enough assurances and promises until I become an "official knight", I believe that Fia can appreciate that."

　　"Sophia and Coslin will also participate, right?"

　　"It'll, not be enough, Fia and Brother Coslin won't be in the same group as you even if they pass the preliminaries, after all, they're from the [Sophomore] batch and Brother Aaron you're from the [Freshman] batch."

　　"There's still such a classification?" Han Dong wasn't even familiar with the rules related to knight training, so he just took the opportunity to get some information from Cass in advance.

　　"That's right, trainee knights of five stars and below can participate in the training.

　　Once they pass the preliminaries, they will be divided into [Major Group 3], [Major Group 2], and [Major Group 1], and the corresponding intensity of the training is different."

　　"I see."

　　Cass indicated slightly behind him.

　　"You can actually get in good with this Witch Apprentice, she should be able to make it through the preliminaries since she's a student of the Head Witch, you'll be a team by then.

　　It's quite good to look out for each other.

　　After all, Brother Aaron, some of your abilities should be inconvenient to use during the training period."

　　"It's fine, I can do it alone."

　　Just like that, since the arena where the preliminaries were held wasn't too far from the dormitories, it was possible to warm up beforehand by walking there.

　　Mia, on the other hand, was like a good girl, keeping about three meters behind them, keeping her head down and silent, whether or not she would glance at Han Dong with her afterglow.

　　Even Cass felt awkward trying to try to pull Han Dong closer to her.

-----------------------------------

　　[Semyon Knight Arena]

　　The oval arena, which retains the features of the ancient Roman Colosseum, is built out of stone as the base material.

　　The length of the long axis is about 201 meters, the length of the short axis is about 149 meters, and the height of the wall is about 50 meters.

　　It is the third largest arena in terms of size and scale among all the arenas in the Holy City.

　　It was the preferred venue for all the large events within the Knight Academy, on weekdays, many knights would use this arena to practice.

　　There were eighteen entrances at the bottom, all sealed with steam-style metal doors.

　　It was only when the Accident Knight Card entered the interior of the arena that Cass' arm was removed from Han Dong's shoulder.

　　Cass took out a file stamped with the [Crusader] seal and said.

　　"Brother Aaron, this time I belong to the second training, no need to participate in the regular pre-selection competition, I need to give a detailed information that was determined by the academy to the knight lord who is in charge of leading the team this time.

　　I would have instructed you something, but with your skills, these preliminaries are nothing at all.

　　Good luck."

　　"Mm."

　　Han Dong didn't even pay attention to Mia who was following by his side at all times.

　　After passing the relevant medical examinations, he went straight to the center of the arena.

　　A large number of trainee knights were currently gathered here, waiting for the official opening of the preliminaries.

　　Through the signs on the ground, the knights of different grades were standing in separate columns.

　　It indicated that the preliminaries to be held later would also be different depending on the grade, and so would the preliminaries.

　　As there is no hard and fast requirement to participate in the preliminaries, there is also no limit to the number of riders.

　　80% of the trainee knights would come here to give it a try, and even if they didn't pass, they would still get some practice and a clear idea of their own strength in the qualifiers.

　　A skinny young man like Han Dong, whose height just reached 1.7 meters, was immediately treated by those who didn't know him as being in charge of the 'bottom'.

　　'Little Devil Eyes'

　　All in a semi-open state the entire time, secretly observing the group of freshmen.

　　Among the more than two hundred [Freshmen], Han Dong observed several extraordinary trainee knights, the aura was very different from that of ordinary trainee knights.

　　"Special trainee knights, I'm really not the only one."
