Chapter 16 Roommate Sean
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Somewhere in the slums of the royal capital, a young man with short brown hair stared at the attacker directly opposite him, breathing slightly.
This is an attacker with a third-level magic power.
He has a sturdy body and his muscles almost burst through his clothes.
His face was full of flesh, and his head was without a single hair. His bald head seemed to be glowing in the setting sun.
In comparison, the young man Sean standing in front of him looked like a little lamb.
The sturdy man obviously came from a knight family. He had at least learned certain knight skills and was quite strong.
Although the brown-haired young man Sean's magic level has reached the tactical level, unfortunately he was born a civilian, and the instructor who taught him magic did not give him special lessons to learn formal knight skills.
Therefore, the brown-haired young man can only fight with the strong man on equal terms.
But even so, Sean felt more grateful in his heart.
Fortunately, he discovered something was wrong in advance and jumped away from the carriage, without completely falling into their encirclement.
Fortunately, except for the bald strong man in front of him, the others are all mediocre.
Otherwise, Sean might die here.
I died here on my first day in the capital. I'm afraid Tonari will laugh at me when I go back...
Thinking of Tonali, Sean's eyes became a little dazed.
I don’t know how my childhood sweetheart who went to the medical department is doing now.
She has a high talent for medical magic and should have already joined the medical department.
Sean seemed to have a revolving lantern flashing before his eyes.
But the burly man in front of him was already rushing towards him like a rampaging mountain.
Sean immediately collected his thoughts and quickly dodged the burly man's attack.
The sturdy man had a grim smile on his face, and his empty mouth made the following mouth shape:
'I'll kill you right now'
Sean probably understood what this meant.
With a slight frown in his mind, Sean's attention became more focused. His gaze passed over the burly man and lingered for a moment on a corpse behind him.
The body also belonged to one of the attackers, and he had an old-fashioned revolver in his hand, an outdated product.
Although it cannot be compared with the revolvers commonly used today, it is still a rare weapon.
If Sean remembered correctly, this guy only fired three shots. The old revolver could hold five rounds, which meant there were still two bullets in it.
Calculating the distance between himself and the revolver in his mind, and then looking at the burly man in front of him, Sean immediately made a decision in his heart.
He showed a determined look, and the remaining magic power in his body circulated at a high speed to give him strength. Then he rushed towards the other party as if he was going to fight to the death! "Ahhh!!!"
While running, he shouted to give himself courage.
When the sturdy man saw this scene, the corners of his mouth were almost pulled to his ears. He stood still, clenched his fists, and hit Sean who was rushing towards him hard!
But the strong man's punch missed.
Sean had no intention of confronting him head-on.
When he was about to approach the sturdy man, he feinted a shot and passed by him, slid behind him, and grabbed the revolver in the corpse's hand with his right hand.
The sturdy man turned around and noticed Sean's plan.
He was startled and rushed towards Sean, trying to take the gun away.
But Sean's fingers were faster than his movements.
Turn, aim, and pull the trigger!
Bang!
Two gunshots rang out, and two bloody holes appeared on the strong man's heart and the side of his neck.
His eyes widened immediately, and he tried to regain his strength before falling on Sean.
"Hahaha……!"
Sean didn't feel anything despite being pressed down by a burly man weighing nearly 200 pounds. Instead, he laughed out loud, looking at the sky that was dyed red by the setting sun and let out a hearty laugh.
Regardless, he survived.
But it didn't take long for Sean's laughter to stop.
Because he heard someone calling his name.
"Sean Sweet..."
“!!!!”
Immediately pushing away the body on top of him, Sean picked up the gun and looked towards the source of the sound.
A non-commissioned officer in army uniform stood in the distance, looking at him with a chuckle, and said to him:
"You've passed, freshman."
“…”
After hearing this, Sean finally realized that all the ambushes he encountered today were tests for him.
At that moment, he fell to the ground exhausted again, and said with a wry smile: "... Instructor, please take me back to the academy later. I... I have no strength left..."
The magic power in his body was completely gone, and his energy was almost gone. He really didn't have the strength to walk back to school on his own.
…
“No… don’t come over here—!!”
Elsewhere, a young man with long dark golden hair was waving the blade in his hand wildly, trying to keep the attackers away from him.
But by doing so, he only brought the attackers closer.
Just as he saw several of the attackers were about to attack him, he heard a few gunshots from a distance.
Then all the attackers who attacked him fell to the ground.
An instructor in an officer's uniform came over with a sullen look on his face and looked at the blond young man:
"…Jamie Rellward! Unqualified!!!"
Hearing this earth-shaking shout, the blond young man collapsed to the ground.
…
"Jack Baron...is unqualified!"
…
"Andrew White, congratulations, you passed!!"
…
"Leichou Shude... failed!!!"
…
Without the other students knowing, the freshman assessment ended here.
Only three people passed, but seven failed.
But surprisingly, among the three qualified people, one was a noble disciple who was not favored by Borrent. Instead, the one who Borrent thought might pass the test almost died in this test.
But no matter what, Sean passed the assessment successfully and was sent to his student dormitory tonight.
Arriving at the student dormitory, Sean opened the door.
When Sean noticed that this was a room for two, he was stunned.
Accustomed to living in large military dormitories, he thought the dormitory he lived in was at least a six-person room, and in better circumstances, maybe a four-person room.
But I didn't expect that this was a double room with a separate bathroom and toilet, and the room was much bigger than I imagined.
"Because I'm qualified, I'm given a double room?"
Sean muttered to himself as he looked at the empty room.
Carrying his luggage into the room, Sean intended to put it away, but after entering, he noticed that the bathroom light was on.
The lights in the military academy are not kerosene lamps, but more advanced magic lamps.
The magic light was on when Sean came in, illuminating the entire room, so he didn't notice what was going on in the bathroom.
It was only when I walked in that I noticed there was someone else in the bathroom.
Probably his roommate.
I heard from the instructor that there are a total of ten new students entering the college this time, but only three of them are qualified.
If according to Sean's previous inference, only qualified people are eligible to live in a double room, then the person taking a shower in the bathroom now should be one of those qualified people.
Thinking of this, Sean became a little nervous.
He heard from the instructor that everyone's test time was almost the same.
The fact that the other party arrived at the dormitory before him, had arranged his luggage, and was even in the mood to take a shower proved that the other party was definitely stronger than him.
I hope to be a good roommate.
Otherwise, Sean will have a hard time in the next two years.
Just as I was thinking this, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Then a thin figure wrapped in a bath towel and wiping his hair with a towel walked out of the bathroom.
"!?"
When he saw this figure, Sean was subconsciously startled, because judging from the figure alone, the other person seemed to be a minor.
But Sean was a little unsure.
It wasn't until the other person turned around that Sean was completely sure.
This is just a little kid! "Oh? There's a new person? I thought I was the only one."
The man turned his head and his blue eyes fell on Sean.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Sean actually felt pressure from the other party.
"Hello... My name is Sean, Sean Sweet, and I'm... I'm a new student."
Anyway, let me introduce myself first.
Thinking of this, Sean reached out his hand to the 'child' in front of him.
But the boy ignored his hand.
The boy wiped his hair, walked to the bed and sat down, and said lightly:
"Rich Glatt, like you, is a freshman."
As he said this, he picked up the clothes on the bed.
The clothes were military uniforms that were slightly too big for a young boy.
Sean glanced at it inadvertently, and when he saw the military rank on it, his eyes widened.
warrant officer!!!
This kid who looked like he was not even fourteen years old was actually a warrant officer! ?
I'm just a corporal!!
Sean became depressed when he realized that after fighting in the army for more than a year, he couldn't even surpass a child in military rank.
But at the same time, after hearing Li Qi's name, Sean tilted his head and began to think again.
Li Qi... He seemed to have heard this name somewhere...
