Chapter 5 The Beginning of Academy War

The three of them looked at each other, crossed their hands, and a strange red light emanated from their bodies simultaneously.

"Ultimate skill·Knight's Glory!"

The three of them swung their swords at the same time. The two on the sides quickly dodged to the side, while the one in the middle charged straight towards me!

Three simultaneous attacks? It seems that they are not just a temporary team, but partners who have been fighting together.

But now is not the time to praise the opponent. After all, I still need some information to guide these three knights.

I looked at them and pointed at the ground, and an ice totem quickly rose, sending me high into the air.

The three sword shadows directly shattered the base of the ice totem, but by then, I had already jumped forward, charging, and then used Feather Step to land on the ground.

Turning around, three ice walls directly blocked their path, followed by another ice totem that emerged from the ice shield, sending the three of them flying out.

Although killing the opponent in this enchantment would not result in their death, I had no intention of killing them.

Since they were so concerned about the knight's spirit, if they were killed outright by a mage like me, they would definitely bear a grudge against me. I wouldn't want that because I still had many questions I wanted to ask them.

"Multiple ice shields·Shield Strike!"

Nine shields directly sandwiched the three of them from three directions, and then simultaneously launched a shield strike, immobilizing the three of them in place.

"You guys really have courage, still drawing your swords after seeing my attack."

"Knight's spirit... How could you mages... understand..."

Struggling while speaking, the knight named John said, but with their feet off the ground, they couldn't use skills like Shock. Once they didn't dodge my skills from the beginning, it was impossible for them to break free.

"Oh, is that so? Then tell me about your knight's spirit. As knights, I think you wouldn't want to fight a defenseless mage, right? It's not something that would befit your integrity, isn't it?"

"Well... But you..."

"Of course, I'm an exception."

I pushed my glasses and continued.

"I'm stronger than ordinary people, so you don't have to worry, but you must have attacked other mages before, right? Right, you attacked me probably because I'm wearing a low-level mage robe. This is completely contrary to your knight's spirit, isn't it? So you guys are just a bunch of hypocrites?"

"Of course not! We just..."

"Of course not. Your knight's spirit is dictated by the nobles, and naturally, it will change because of their spirit, right? A lower-level commoner mage—that's your standard for choosing opponents?"

"We didn't... We just have to do this."

"Have to?"

Very good, just as I expected.

Even with the merger of the Duoge Academy and our institute, it would not immediately ignite the conflict. Otherwise, I think it would be too easy to start a war here at the academy.

"This is an order from the Academy Knight Order."

"Knight Order? Interesting. Can you give me more details? If I remember correctly, you guys belong to different countries, right? The knight orders of each country are completely different, so why did you form a team?"

"What we call the Academy Knight Order is not an ordinary knight order, but a club organization within the academy formed by knights of different beliefs."

"Different beliefs? Well, I really don't understand. Can you..."

"Because knights gain power by learning the skills of heroes."

Suddenly, Yaling quickly spoke up.

"The Black Prince Edward, the Blue Sea Knight William, and the Cleanser John. If I'm not mistaken, these are the three major knight orders in Duoge Academy. Fir, their training is based on inheriting the beliefs of different knights. These three knights are the strongest in legends, so the knight orders that believe in them are also the largest. They just used the Sword of Edward, so they should be members of the Black Prince Knight Order."

"That's right, we are members of the Black Prince Knight Order, and our knight order..."

"No, it's under the consent of your three major knight orders in the academy. You can continue your club wars inside our Magic Academy, but because we mages are here, you need to let us join the opposing faction, right? The number of knights is ten times that of ours in the academy, and their influence is stronger than us mages. Moreover, most of your knights are nobles, because the lower-class people become mercenaries instead of knights, right?""Uh..."

Sure enough, if they were divided into different factions, the reason for their boring struggles could be understood.

Who would be bored enough to challenge others in the academy every day! Do you think this is "Pokemon"? Are there trainers everywhere waiting to grind for money or experience?

...

But this seems quite good, as it is quite beneficial for leveling up.

"...If I'm not mistaken, after defeating the mages, you will ask for their support for your knight order...or completely avoid interfering in the battles between you, right?"

"Yes...that's right."

"Very well, that's what I wanted to know."

I snapped my fingers, and the ice shields on their bodies were instantly removed.

"Thank you for your cooperation, but...I hope you won't attack our mage apprentices anymore. Otherwise, things will definitely not be so simple... I promise."

I said with a smile.

----------------LOADING-------------------

"Is this your faith, 'Magician Saint Louis'?"

"Yes, most magic knights believe in 'Magician Saint Louis'."

Continuing towards the office, I started to consult Yaling about the belief of knights.

"No restrictions on elements?"

"No, because the knights of Saint Louis become magic knights with the help of external magic crystals, so he doesn't have any element restrictions."

"It's quite convenient."

Looking at the excited Yaling next to me, I smiled and continued.

What do you think of these three societies?"

"My group doesn't care about that kind of thing. Although we magic knights are a minority, we are not weak. We just need to take care of ourselves."

"Well, you're right, but this time is an exception."

I looked at Yaling seriously and said.

I didn't expect to encounter such troublesome things when I returned to the academy, but obviously, this trouble might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Since it has already happened, why not make it more interesting?

And it's a good opportunity to gain experience~

"Although I caused a lot of trouble in the academy before... What if we turn it around this time?"

"Turn it around?"

"Now that the opponents have formed factions and are at war in our academy... We should unite."

"Unite?"

Yaling seemed puzzled, but I directly summoned a magic sword and continued speaking.

"Organize a magic society. I believe... our magic is a more terrifying existence than any knight, isn't it?"

"Well... um..."

Yaling thought for a moment and smiled.

"Are you suggesting an alliance between mages and magic knights?"

"Of course."

"Then... I will do my best!"

If someone wants to turn the academy into a battlefield, then I will make sure that this war becomes a place to level up!

Battle Result:

Kills: X3, Experience Gained: 0
