Most of the people crossed their arms and watched the battle with a joking air.
But that is indeed the case.
In the eyes of these noble lords, the students' fight was at best a minor skirmish.
However, the mere presence of these noble lords was not enough to keep them so quiet.
What shocked them the most was the figure sitting in the very center, wearing a crown.
There sat Augustus, the current king of the Kingdom of Kant.
At this moment, August smiled and looked to his left and right.
Sitting on either side of him were Aurelion and Victor.
But Aurelion, sitting on the right, clearly looked somewhat dissatisfied.
What's going on?
She really wanted to sit with Teacher Victor, but the king had no sense of propriety at all.
Just then, the king's voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"Your Highness, how are you feeling?"
He turned to Aurelion with a gentle smile.
Aurelion quickly suppressed her displeasure, exercised her royal manners, and replied calmly and politely:
"It was a really great match, and you can tell that Joanna has spent a lot of time training."
"And she must have a very good coach who is teaching her all the time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the female instructor sitting to her side.
Hilda was deeply moved; her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but smile with joy.
"I am very... very grateful for the princess's compliment."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then continued:
"At Star Academy, we conduct a combat assessment every two weeks to select the most capable students using a points-based system."
"The winner of each assessment will receive one point."
These points are very important.
Once you accumulate enough, you can exchange them at the academy for a star-level title that represents supreme honor.
Thus he became a newly promoted baron.
Aurelion listened intently from the side.
After all, this was a diplomatic visit.
We should listen carefully to what we can learn from places like the Kingdom.
At this moment, King Augustus eased the tension somewhat, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Actually, Princess Aurelian is also skilled in swordsmanship, Hilda, you didn't expect that, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Hilda's eyes lit up, and she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Looking at Aurelion, I felt utterly astonished.
However, Aurelion simply smiled indifferently:
"Actually, my major is magic, and swordsmanship is just a minor one."
Upon hearing this, Hilda couldn't help but reveal her true feelings:
"I really want to see Princess Aurelion's swordsmanship..."
Suddenly, all the noble ministers around stopped talking, and the foreign ministers looked at Hilda in bewilderment.
The cacophony of subtle sounds abruptly ceased.
Even the Duke of Barlow, who was sitting on the side of the audience, slightly opened his tightly closed eyes.
A calm and dignified aura naturally emanated from his eyes.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Viktor's mouth.
At this moment, two more new students stepped onto the arena.
The instructors below continued to announce the start, their voices ringing out clearly throughout the arena.
The two students were evenly matched, and they drew their swords and began to fight quickly.
This time, they all used their full strength.
Perhaps it was because the king and a group of nobles were present that they had to work even harder.
Even if you can't get a star rating and become a noble, if you are noticed by these noble lords and become a bodyguard, your future will still be bright.
But clearly, the king and nobles on the stage had no interest in watching them.
It wasn't until August glanced at Hilda that the female instructor realized she had just said something she shouldn't have.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was just saying it casually. Please don't take it to heart."
The king smiled and spoke gently.
“Hilda is a swordsmanship fanatic, it’s just a passing interest, Your Highness, you don’t need to worry about it.”
"It doesn't matter."
Aurelion smiled, but the smile wasn't as bright as usual; instead, her eyes were narrowed, making her seem somewhat enigmatic.
Just as the surrounding nobles and lords all breathed a sigh of relief.
Aurelion suddenly stood up, pointed to the empty arena in front of her, and looked down at Hilda, saying:
"Excuse me, may I cut in line?"
