Because of Yuri's promotion to the pinnacle of Grand Magister, Augu City has become more and more lively these days. Envoys and spies from the major principalities mixed together and gathered in the royal city on the first day of the warm moon.
Boom also fully recovered last night. Not only did he adjust his body to the best condition, he even mastered the technique of ventriloquism.
In addition to his luck, there is also Rikka's careful care, and the bowls of broth and pumpkin soup mixed with herbs.
The morning light lit up Aogu City, but many people had already gotten up early today and gathered at the roadside stalls in perfect harmony. They were eating, talking and laughing.
The Imperial College and the newly built Four-Colored Tower roared at the same time soon after. The salute exploded in the clouds, and the trumpet sound was clear and loud.
"Brother, what are you doing outside? Why is it so lively?" Rikka ran back to the room and looked at Boom curiously.
"Today is the graduation day of Imperial College. According to tradition, the graduating students have to compete in an exhibition match." Boom rubbed his chin and replied softly.
"Then let's go join in the fun. Anyway, my brother has recovered, so this is a rare opportunity." Hearing this, Rikka grabbed Boom and kept shaking her arms.
A moment later, the two put on their mother-in-law masks and black robes with gold petals, and quietly walked into the crowd, following the noise and walking out of the city.
Standing on tiptoe and looking in the distance, I saw the students who were the protagonists walking at the front, followed by King Ogu and a group of ministers. As for the nobles, they followed closely behind them.
As for the others, they had no choice but to hang at the end. Under the surveillance of the imperial cavalry, the crowd did not dare to make any mistakes. However, the voices of complaints gradually grew louder.
At this time, Augu City was naturally quiet. Yuri did not choose to go with him today, but stayed at the palace to avoid being taken advantage of.
More than half an hour later, people arrived at the pre-prepared venue. This so-called venue was just a temporary animal skin shelter.
And in the huge circle surrounded by wooden stakes, stood the Divine Knight Anthony and the Prime Minister Manuel.
Today is the graduation ceremony of the Four Color Pagoda and Dou Qi Branch, and it is also a day to show the strength of the royal city to other principalities, so Fernando will attend in person.
"Welcome everyone to visit the graduation ceremony of Imperial College. I am Manuel, the Prime Minister, and I am also the host today." Manuel said loudly.
"The ten people on the left are graduates of the Four Color Tower of the Magic Branch. They have all reached the level of mid-level magicians."
"The fifteen people on the right are the leaders of the Dou Qi Branch, and they have all reached the intermediate level of strength."
Manuel nodded to both sides, showing a rare smile. Because among these people, there may be hope for the future of Aogu City.
"Brother, does the Imperial Academy only have so many people? Is it going to close down?" Rikka tugged on Boom's clothes and asked in a low voice.
"Of course not. Those who can come here have sworn allegiance to King Augu and have joined the Imperial Legion." Boom whispered back.
"As for those who have other plans or are unwilling to join the Imperial Legion, there is no such kind of limelight treatment." Boom thought for a while and said again.
There was applause, shouts and screams. The men began to comment on these young people, while most of the women looked like nymphos.
"The battle will begin immediately. You all know the groups, right? I have only one request. Don't hurt anyone's life until the point is reached." Anthony, the Divine Blessing Knight, said coldly.
A few minutes later, following the signal from King Fernando of Ogu, the exhibition match officially began.
The first person to take the stage was a warrior and a knight. They were both classmates and familiar playmates, so they showed the essence of an "exhibition match".
You strike with a sword, and I strike with a sword. Although the fighting spirit collided with countless sparks, the originally noisy crowd burst into boos, and even Queen Isabella covered her mouth and chuckled.
The opening competition ended hastily. The two looked at each other, smiled, and walked back to the queue without caring. In their hearts, they were more concerned about their future legion life, not today's performance.
"If you don't want to compete, get out of here!" Anthony quietly stood beside the two of them and scolded him with a gloomy face.
At the same time, the second competition officially began. I saw a young man wearing a magic robe standing on the left, and the one on the right was a warrior holding a mace.
When the young girls around them saw this, they instantly burst into deafening screams. Although they couldn't tell which of the two was stronger, they were very sensitive to the handsome guy.
I saw the young magician flipping his blond hair casually, and even blowing countless kisses. But the hammer warrior opposite was filled with anger.
The hurricane armor was able to withstand the hammer's bombardment, but blood oozed from the corner of the magician's mouth. The wind blade screamed at the opponent, and the warrior burst out a fighting spirit shield, moving forward like a siege vehicle.
"The winner of this game is the Fighting Branch!" Anthony stood between the two at this time, and saw the hammer close to the tip of the magician's nose.
At this point, the competition venue has the right flavor. Sometimes the crowd bursts into applause, and sometimes they are worried about a certain player. But the smell of gunpowder between the two branches is getting stronger.
This is an old grudge between professionals, because magicians have been superior to knights since ancient times, and knights have steadily suppressed warriors.
Therefore, the following pressure matches became more and more intense. When Anthony saw this, instead of stopping it, he secretly changed the schedule.
Fireballs and water bombs intertwined, wind blades and earth thorns refused to give way to each other. The combination of sword and shield skills was smooth and flowing, and the Qigang Douyi protected the vital points. As for those fighting spirit slashes, they appeared frequently.
Youthful exuberance is a privilege exclusive to young people, and the more and more realistic exhibition games make today's open day particularly exciting. The graduation ceremony of Imperial College continues, and people's passion has already reached its peak.
Another magician was carried out of the venue. At this time, the young man's face was bruised, and the handsome magician's robe had turned into rags.
And his opponent was not much better. His sword was broken by the spell, and most of the black curls were burned off. The contracted beast he had been with day and night was lying weakly on the ground.
Anthony turned to look at the animal skin tent, and Fernando nodded slightly. This warrior was chosen by the two, and they believed that his future would be bright.
The Prime Minister once again walked to the center of the venue and announced the end of the graduation ceremony amidst people's dissatisfaction. Everyone returned to Oko City, but Boom and Rikka walked away.
Now that the Snow Moon has passed and Boom has recovered, there is no need to stay in the slums, because the two plan to live in the dense forest for a few days to change their mood.
And because of Rikka's recent meticulousness, Boom also felt guilty. He just agreed to the other party's proposal, and also promised three barbecue meals.
The breeze floated around him, blowing away the chill and blowing out countless buds that sprouted from the ground. The Wonder House was released again, and Rikka also took off the mother-child mask on her face.
In the setting sun, wisps of aroma wafted from the dense forest. Boom was sitting by the campfire, flipping food, while Rikka beside him was talking non-stop.
