Chapter 133 The Entrance Test of the Fencing Academy
In the northern part of the central capital, Centoria, in front of the gate of the Imperial Sword Academy, Yusuke and Kirito, after leaving Rulid Village and spending several days on the road, finally arrived at the destination of this trip .
In fact, according to the original plot, Kirito and Eugeo in this time period have not yet come to the Sword Academy.
As for the reason, it is also very simple, because even the Sword Art Academy is not a charity organization. If you want to enter this school, in addition to passing the admission examination, the high tuition fee is naturally indispensable.
Of course, compared to ordinary people, the so-called high tuition fees are not a big problem for nobles, even the lowest sixth-class nobles.
However, the point is that whether it is Kirito or Eugeo, both of them are obviously poor, or in a remote village like Rulid Village, basically no one is rich.
Eugeo is the one who cut down the big tree for six years, and Kirito is the stowaway. The pockets of the two are cleaner than their faces. It is naturally impossible to expect them to be able to pay for the tuition.
So according to the original plot, the two should be working on a farm in Sakarya at this moment to earn travel expenses and tuition fees, while Kirito will guide Eugeo's swordsmanship.
But now because Yusuke joined, the process of earning tuition was naturally omitted.
Not to mention other things for the time being, just the money Yusuke earned from opening the pharmacy over the years, and moving things to the Bailong Cave every now and then, not to mention being filthy rich, but it is still easy to pay for the expenses of the three of them.
And today is the day when the "Emperor Sword Cultivation Academy" in the north officially recruits students. Because Yusuke and the three of them submitted their admission applications early, they lined up here early in the morning.
As the highest school of swordsmanship in the Northern Empire of Nolancarus, the entry threshold of the Emperor's Sword Cultivation Academy is not high, but it is not low.
If you want to successfully enroll, there are generally two ways, one is as a high-level noble in the empire, you can enroll directly and unconditionally.
In another situation, low-level nobles or commoners can also enter the academy after passing the entrance examination.
There is no doubt that the three of Yusuke belong to the latter, so they are in a long queue now to pass the entrance examination.
It is said to be an entrance examination, but the difficulty is actually not too high, at least Yusuke thinks so.
"The slashing speed is medium, the slashing skills are low, the slashing power is medium, the overall score is medium to low, and the admission qualifications are tentative."
At the front of the line, a teacher from the swordsmanship academy held a notebook in his hand and gave corresponding scores to the students who came forward to assess.
After getting the middle and lower grades, although the teenager who finished the assessment looked unwilling, he had no choice but to retreat.
Although the lower-middle grades are not sure that he can enter the academy, but once the number of students enrolled is small, he is still quite hopeful.
The so-called entrance examination is actually quite simple, that is, the swordsmanship academy provides a unified sword, and then the students in the examination use the sword to chop the tree stump in front of them.
Then the assessing teacher will score by assessing the students' slashing speed, slashing skills, and the depth of the sword marks cut on the tree stump.
It was because Yusuke was relieved to see such an assessment method, because if he was asked to use unskilled swordsmanship to defeat knights or something, he might not be able to do anything, but he thought it was quite a good idea to cut down immovable tree stumps. relaxing.
After all, before coming here, he and Eugeo often used blue roses to attack the Devil's Tree.
The assessment was very simple, but the level of the people who came to the assessment seemed to be quite unsatisfactory, causing even the teacher in charge of the assessment to sigh secretly and kept shaking his head, feeling that the standard of this year's freshmen was too poor.
"Eugeo, don't be too nervous. If it's just this level, you'll be fine."
Because the freshmen ahead of them all had fairly average grades in the assessment, so when it was about to be Eugeo's turn, Eugeo began to feel a little nervous.
Especially when Eugeo heard that the people who were assessed before were disciples of some kind of swordsmanship master, he panicked even more.
How long does it take for him to become a "swordsman"? Can he really pass the examination and enter the academy?
"The next one is Eugeo from Rulid Village, please step forward and conduct the assessment immediately."
Hearing the teacher in charge of the assessment call his name, Eugeo also stepped forward with a face of apprehension, but after hearing the encouragement from the two friends behind him, Eugeo instantly showed his firmness.
Raising the iron long sword in his hand, Eugeo unexpectedly felt that it was quite light. At least Eugeo felt that compared to the blue rose sword they used for practice before, this ordinary long sword was unreasonably light.
"Oh, did you choose to hold the sword with one hand?"
The assessing teacher looked at Eugeo's sword-holding posture and asked with a funny expression on his face.
"Yes, is it a foul to do so..."
"No, it's just that the general school of swordsmanship uses both hands to hold the sword, because this will make the slash more powerful and the control of the angle more precise.
Of course, you just need to follow your preferences, after all, each genre has different ways of using swords. "
After hearing the other party's words, Eugeo also nodded to express his gratitude, and then he closed his eyes tightly, as if imagining the wooden stake in front of him as the huge demon tree in his hometown.
And after a while, Eugeo seemed to have caught some kind of opportunity, a silver trail streaked across the air, and a deep sword mark appeared on the stake.
After seeing the sword marks on the stake, the assessment teacher was obviously taken aback for a moment, then gave Eugeo an appreciative look, and gave the assessment results.
"The slashing speed is top-notch, the slashing skills are top-notch, the power of slashing is top-notch, and the overall score is top-notch, so you can get the admission qualification."
After hearing his assessment results, Eugeo was undoubtedly greatly relieved, and because of Eugeo's excellent results, the surrounding people also heard admiration.
From Eugeo's point of view, if even he can pass the entrance examination, then Yusuke and Kirito, who are stronger than him, will naturally have no problem.
After Eugeo passed the assessment, the next one was Kirito, because the two were also from Rulid Village, and they held the sword in the same way, so of course, the assessment teacher also saw that they belonged to the same school.
And because of Eugeo's previous excellent grades, the assessment teacher now has even more expectations for the grades of the black-haired boy in front of him.
Because as a swordsmanship instructor, he could tell that this black-haired boy was stronger than the blond boy just now, whether it was the posture of holding the sword or his aura.
"The slashing speed is top-notch, the slashing skills are top-notch, the slashing power is top-notch, and the overall score is top-notch, so you get the admission qualification!"
