Back at the dorm, we were all a bit tired after a day of sightseeing and quickly fell asleep. In the following days, the teacher led the freshmen to visit the Pier College and Temple College in Emenas, each with its own unique style.
Qiaodun Academy not only looks like a war fortress on the outside, but also has a semi-militarized management system internally with excellent discipline. Even the school uniforms reveal a capable style.
On the day that Loran Hill and the others went to visit, they happened to witness a horseback duel. There were about 200 students on each side, holding wooden spears and thick swords, wearing full armor, and charging at each other.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually sounded and became more and more rapid, the freshmen watching could not help but get their blood boiling. Spears were waving, flags were flying, and the battlefield was full of fierce confrontations. The scenes and legends always attracted generations of young people.
The rolling red cloaks, the rising dust, and the figures on the backs of the war horses kept rising and falling. As the two sides approached, the sound of lances breaking suddenly broke out, broken wood chips flew in the air, and students wearing silver armor were picked off their horses one by one. The rest drew out their thick wooden swords and long knives and continued the melee.
The cavalry continued to rotate in a small area, drawing a graceful arc in the field, with the tip of the knife pointing outward. Teams of cavalry continued to cut the opponent's formation like the teeth of a saw chain, until one side collapsed, and then they gathered into lines and arranged in neat rows. As the speed increased, they were finally tightly arranged together, advancing forward like a city wall.
This should be a wall charge, Loran Hill thought as he watched the scene in front of him.
The cavalry was tightly packed, shoulder to shoulder, horse to horse, with no gaps between them, forming a wall-like formation. This required excellent training and discipline to achieve, but the effect was clear. Against a scattered and disorganized enemy, this wall-like charge was a one-sided massacre.
When an enemy faces this kind of scene, it's not just the physical appearance that brings great shock and fear. When the two sides engage in battle, an enemy has to face three spears or swords charging at full speed at the same time. The slightest flaw will lead to him being chopped down to the ground. Even if you are agile and skilled, facing the cavalry charging like a wall, there is no room to dodge. The heavy horseshoes with iron hooves can directly trample and crush your bones.
But now, this is still an academy after all. After one side admitted defeat, the other side also stopped fighting, and the cavalry dispersed and stopped chasing.
"Jelann!"
"Jelann!"
"Jelann!"
The students in the training ground cheered. The leader of the victorious side took off his helmet and threw it high into the air, while the people around him also cheered.
The golden hair, the strong body, the raised arms, the sweat beads on the forehead, all of them exude a lion-like sense of power. The student surrounded in the center is none other than the eldest son of the Griffin Duke, Jerran.
He cheered in response to his companions. Wearing silver armor decorated with golden patterns, he was the center of attention on the field at this moment. He was the idol worshipped by many young boys and the object of admiration of countless girls.
"So handsome~"
Lily made a noise of infatuation. She wasn't the only one; many other freshmen also gazed at the golden figure with admiration. In this world, there was no internet like in their previous lives. Of all the opposite sex these girls would encounter and meet in their lifetime, Jelann was a perfect match.
Not only is his family background at the top of the empire, he is also extremely handsome, and his bravery and character are also brilliant. There is nothing wrong with him. Probably no girl can resist being attracted to him.
Not only the girls on and off the field thought so, but also Jalan himself. You might think the freshmen just happened to witness the cavalry drills at Pier Academy, but it was all planned in advance.
The time, the venue for the training exercises, the personnel of both sides, the tactics to be adopted, and even what clothes and armor he would wear that day were all arranged.
Based on his understanding of the strength of both sides, the outcome of this training was actually already determined, but the reason why he still had to have a competition was to let someone see it.
As the eldest son of a griffin, raised in an aristocratic family, he wouldn't foolishly confess his feelings to or pursue Loran Hill, as that would damage his family's reputation. At the same time, his lion-like pride wouldn't allow him to be so servile. Even so, he still wanted to catch the girl's attention. After a few days of investigation, he was becoming increasingly interested in her.
Did she see it? Although she had already noticed the figure with long black hair, she still had some doubts in her heart. Jie Lann slowly turned around and looked in that direction inadvertently.
Loran Hill stood with several classmates in the stands outside the school field. She was wearing a black dress, with only the cuffs and collar white. The style was a bit like the British style I remembered. The slightly fitted dress accentuated her slender figure. The wind swept through her hair and skirt, causing them to flutter in the air.
"Letis, do you also like the handsome senior across from you?" Alena looked at the exclamations of her classmates around her, turned her head and asked curiously.
"Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Are you planning to laugh at me?"
Lettice looked at her roommate with suspicion. Although the two had been bickering constantly for the past few days, Loran Hill felt that their relationship wasn't that bad. As they got to know each other better, Alena discovered that Lettice wasn't the overbearing, overbearing young lady. While she was proud, she wasn't a bad person either. Lettice also learned that although Alena was born in the Southern Islands and didn't like to think about complicated things, she was still very open and generous. She rarely looked at others with prejudice and seemed to get along with everyone.
"If I were from the Green Empire, I would probably be moved by the eldest son of the Griffin as well."
"But now I belong to the Frost Rose. Not only are my family, friends, connections, and property all here, but if I marry there, I'll lose everything. Besides, it's not that easy to get into the Griffin Duke's household. Not to mention that you're not from the Green Empire, even if you're a high-ranking noble in the Green Empire, it's difficult to get in."
"Is it because the nobles and wealthy families have prejudices against each other?" Niya asked from the side.
"Yes, the four dukes, along with the royal family, are considered the top circle of the Green. They will not allow their bloodline to flow freely, and they have strict standards for marrying wives."
"In that case, the only one who is a good match for me in school right now is the fifth princess Evelyn, who is green?" Alena guessed.
"It's a pity that those two won't be together." A strange voice sounded beside the girls.
"Sorry, I was just passing by and heard you guys talking. I couldn't help but say something."
A senior student in a white and gold uniform explained that he had short, blue-black hair, was handsome, and dressed neatly, which impressed many people. Because Loran Hill's stands were in a good location, there were indeed a few senior students staying there.
"Why don't the two of them get together?" other students nearby asked curiously.
"Because there can't be two suns in the sky. They are both proud people, and getting close to each other will make each other uncomfortable and burn."
