Chapter 106 The number of gold coins that are far ahead
"Student Feilun was actually killed. He awakened the extraordinary ability of perception. He should not be easily discovered by pirates..."
"He was not killed by pirates. I heard he was a guy named 'Raymond'... Do you know him? Why does he sound familiar to me?"
"Yes, I heard it was revenge."
"..."
Everyone whispered, and soon these rumors spread among all the students. After all, Feren was the "number one genius at Philip Academy" before Raymond. He was so famous that all the schools in Opportunity Academy knew him.
"Look...the hooded man seems to be Raymond..."
When someone pointed like this, they naturally saw the silent Raymond in the crowd.
Hearing this, the students who were standing next to Raymond couldn't help but take a few steps away as if they were being attacked by the plague, and an isolation zone was vacated around him in an instant.
Now all the evidence points to Raymond. No matter how stupid these people are, they can probably guess that Raymond is hiding his strength.
My dear... He actually deliberately planned to go from the living area to the war zone to kill people, and has been concealing the fact of extraordinary awakening. This deep and deep scheming is simply terrifying... Just because I want to teach you a lesson, you kill people.
Already?
In their eyes, Raymond gradually changed from a down-on-his-luck civilian to a vicious and murderous demon.
Everyone avoided him, fearing to offend him.
"Look, this guy won't live long... The Clive family won't let go of killing Feren! Even Dean Aldrich can't save him!"
"No... the crime of murdering a high-ranking noble is not a small crime. No one can save him except the lord. He still thinks that his methods are clever, haha... now everything is exposed."
"This kind of psychologically twisted guy should be sent to the gallows. Otherwise, we have to be careful not to offend him in the future, otherwise..."
"Shhh... stop talking. Aren't you afraid of being like Faylan?"
"..."
Many people died in this trial,
Raymond didn't care about Dophelan.
But he didn't kill this guy at all, but all the evidence and clues pointed to him.
"Someone accidentally eavesdropped on the chat between Ruth and her boyfriend Taylor, and it made sense that Phelan hired a murderer to be exposed... But the moneymaker Phelan died again, and he died of a superficial wound.
The sword flows down..."
Raymond listened to this series of gossip and didn't pay attention at first.
But when he thought about it carefully, he discovered a possibility that sent shivers down his spine.
Unknowingly, all the evidence points to him?
But he didn’t kill this guy Feilun at all!
The son of the Chancellor of Finance died. This was not a small matter that could be easily fooled. Although he died during a trial, the academy also explicitly prohibited students from killing each other.
This was obviously a murder,
Raymond had a vague feeling that someone was secretly controlling this conspiracy.
"But... no one knows that I use Kuai Jian yet. How could these guys think that I was the one who killed him..."
When he thought of this, he was suddenly startled: "No! I have practiced swordsmanship in the academy's training room... If someone had been secretly watching me, he could easily deduce it from the marks on the mat.
I practice Kuai Jian style..."
Raymond suddenly felt a cold feeling between his brows, as if everything was being plotted in a conspiracy.
Who will frame him?
He eliminated all possible characters in his mind, and later found that no one seemed to have the motive to do such a thing!
The only one with a motive is the dead Faerun.
Could it be that some nobleman is jealous of me becoming Aldrich's disciple?
Or are Faerûn's enemies trying to divert trouble?
He even thought that someone might want to frame him, a small person, to leverage some of his powerful forces in his territory...such as Aldrich, and even Archduke Philip.
Raymond fell into deep thought, as if he was somehow involved in a conspiracy.
...
The students lined up in an orderly manner to hand in the harvest of this trial. Every time the recorder registered one, he shouted out the number of gold coins so that everyone could hear clearly.
"Frank 18 gold coins, excellent in the trial!"
"Murphy, 2 gold coins, passed the test!"
"Martha, 0 gold coins, unqualified!"
"..."
The faces of those students who passed the trial were all filled with proud smiles, especially those who had more than ten coins. They were like stars, receiving the admiration of everyone. This was the moment of glory that should belong to them, and it was also
The best expression of strength.
"The one with the most gold coins now is Benson from Orm Academy. He has 32 gold coins..."
"Hey... the most Feliks in our college now are only 30..."
"It seems that our academy is going to lose this time. There is no hope for the first place. Arthur from Orm's side hasn't come on stage yet..."
"..."
There was a lot of discussion among the people. The students from Philip Academy were outclassed by Aum Academy and were a little downcast.
At this moment, the recorder finally shouted loudly: "Aum Academy Arthur, 231 gold coins, excellent in the trial!"
"Wow...more than two hundred!"
"Oh my god...did he kill more than two hundred extraordinary pirates?"
"Probably not. Didn't you see that the other two members of the Om Amazing Five only handed over 2 gold coins? They should all have been given to Arthur."
"Hey, why did the Aum Elite Five read the names of three people? Where are the other two?"
"No way...could it be possible that he died during the trial?"
"I heard that Arthur was seriously injured during the trial... It seems like something terrible happened..."
"Hey... no matter what, Aum Academy should definitely win this time. Almost all the experts on our side have been on stage. Even if we try to join forces, it is impossible to exceed this terrifying number.
"
Only then did everyone realize that something seemed to have happened that they didn't know about, and they felt that something was wrong.
But at this moment, it was Eileen's turn to take the stage.
As the little princess of Philip's family, she naturally attracted everyone's attention.
"It's a pity that the little princess is an extraordinary person of the Holy Light system and her fighting ability is not strong. She shouldn't have too many gold coins."
"Hey...do you remember what Arthur said at the banquet?"
"I hope things can turn around..."
When this topic was brought up, all the students at Philip Academy showed helpless and aggrieved expressions in their eyes.
They want to win, but their abilities are too different.
...
"Well...I have three hundred gold coins."
Irene's face was red, and she looked like a newbie committing crimes with a guilty conscience.
She didn't dare to take out all the gold coins...otherwise the nearly 600 gold coins would blind everyone's eyes.
"three..."
The recorder was stunned for a moment, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked one more question: "How much?"
Irene trembled slightly with fright, as if she was timid when cheating in the exam room was exposed, and stammered: "Three...three hundred."
As she said that, she took out the three cloth bags that had been divided long ago from the space equipment and placed them on the counting table with a clang.
She had already thought about it, just a little more than Arthur, but not too ostentatious.
No one could have imagined that there were three bags of gold coins in her package...
However, it is this neat number of three hundred gold coins that makes people even more suspicious.
"Exactly three hundred?"
If it had belonged to someone else, the recorder would have suspected it long ago, but the one that happened to be taken out was Princess Irene.
Is it really such a coincidence that I just collected a whole number of gold coins? It seems that I packed them into three bags in advance?
Erin nodded timidly, "Yeah."
The recorder carefully counted them, confirmed that the number was correct, and showed an approving smile to Irene: "Congratulations, Miss Irene."
After saying that, he shouted loudly to the students who had been looking forward to it for a long time: "Irene, three hundred gold coins, excellent in the trial!"
Hearing this, Irene felt even more unbearable. Her cheeks seemed to be burning red, she lowered her head and secretly glanced at where Raymond was.
Raymond caught her gaze and responded with an encouraging smile.
...
Three hundred pieces!
This amount of gold coins far exceeded anyone else's. As soon as it burst out from the recorder's mouth, the deck of the Predator instantly erupted into a wave of cheers.
The resentment that had been suppressed in everyone's hearts for a long time finally found a way to pour out, and it suddenly burst out.
"Haha... we won, we won! We defeated Orm Academy!"
"Irene comes first!"
"Long live Philip Academy! Irene is mighty and domineering!"
"..."
...
The trial results have been tallied up, and in the captain's room of the "Predator" battleship, the leaders of the two academies are having a heated debate.
"Impossible! Your Philip Academy cheated. How could anyone collect three hundred gold coins?"
"We have verified this with the Shadow Guards. Someone has opened the six empty treasure chests with keys before..."
"Hmph! How could someone collect four keys and open six treasure boxes in a row the next day? How could someone not be a Sequence 7 transcendent do it?"
"You can ask the lord for confirmation on this matter. After all, the Shadow Guards are all loyal to the lord... Besides, do you think Princess Irene will lie, or will the Duke lie? You are doing this to our entire Philip Territory.
insult!"
"you..."
"I can personally guarantee that we did not have any behind-the-scenes involvement in the results of this trial. The keys were distributed through normal channels, and there was no high-level supernatural involvement."
"Of course I can trust you, but..."
Erin won first place with an absolute advantage in gold coins.
Arthur's 231 gold coins seemed to be overshadowed. When it came to proposing marriage, if he didn't get the first place, he naturally had no shame to mention it again.
During this trial, even the students felt that Duke Philip must have used secret methods... But only the senior leaders of the academy knew that there was nothing fishy about the results of Eileen's trial.
This is very shocking...
As Erin's mentor, they naturally knew that it was impossible for her to have the strength to raise 300 gold coins...
The only possibility is that in the Shadow Guard report, the guy wearing a hood who secretly opened the treasure chest helped Irene... If they guessed correctly, the other two members of the Orm Academy Elite Five also died at the hands of that guy.
.
But...
Since when did their Philip Academy have such powerful students?
...
The trial came to an end and the students returned to Philip's territory.
