Quadruple split

Same day

Game time AM12:48

Academy City Central District, No. 15 Shuilin Street, 3rd basement floor of Paladin Knight Academy, in front of the VIP room

The dean of the Paladin Knights Academy, Knight Lord Hopkins Leon, who had been standing at the door for a long time, took a deep breath and knocked twice on the golden mahogany door in front of him, which was made of excellent materials and showed full of luxury.

"who?"

A lazy and slightly childish voice came from the door.

"Hopkins."

Hopkins, who is the same generation as Marla and is over 90 years old this year, frowned and was obviously a little dissatisfied with the nonsense question from the person at the door. After all, both of them knew very well that they had the authority to do so at this time. There were not many people on this floor, and the only one who knew there was someone in one of the VIP rooms was Hopkins.

"Enter."

It was still a one-word answer, but it seemed to be easy to talk to.

So, Hopkins pushed open the door and walked into this veritable VIP room.

Different from the 'second-class dormitory' in the Paladin Knight Academy that is almost like a cold stone prison, this VIP room is extremely luxurious in terms of size and decoration. Even compared with the most luxurious suite in Liuli Pavilion under the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, it is not much better. Even better.

Expensive murals, swaying magic lamps, warm and soft carpets, expensive incense, artistic fireplaces, long tables filled with exquisite snacks, and...

A girl with long white hair as white as snow, quietly kneeling on the cushion beside the fireplace.

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a standard robe that symbolized her status as a 'senior special student of the Paladin Academy'. Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were very long, and a handful of linen bandages hung on her back. The tightly wrapped long sword looked a bit nondescript.

The reason is very simple. On the one hand, this girl is wearing the student robe used for daily lectures at the Paladin Knight Academy, rather than the standard knight armor for actual combat and training. Naturally, such a uniform robe + long sword will be slightly inconsistent.

On the other hand, the long sword behind this girl looks a bit nondescript no matter how you look at it. Even if the bandage wrapped around the sword is used as a 'sheath', the length of this sword is far beyond what you look at. It is larger than a typical one-handed sword, but its width is much narrower than an ordinary heavy sword, greatsword or broad-bladed sword.

All in all, both the people and the weapons feel very strange.

"Are you still used to living here?"

Hopkins gently closed the door, walked slowly to the other side of the fireplace, and asked the girl who seemed to be asleep, "If you need anything else, just tell me and I will find someone to arrange it."

"That's not necessary, Mr. Hopkins."

The girl did not open her eyes, but just shook her head and said: "I am very satisfied with this room, and I have been very comfortable during this period. I don't need anything more."

Hopkins nodded noncommittally: "Is that so?"

"That's right, not to mention... I don't want to owe you any more favors at this time when I have to pay them back soon."

The girl said lightly, raised her little hand and gently wiped it from the hilt of the sword on her shoulder, and asked casually: "So, you have completed the procedures for me? When will you start?"

Hopkins shook his head with a complex expression and sighed: "Actually, there was a slight mistake in our plan, so..."

"So what?"

The girl frowned, then slowly opened her eyes, looked at Hopkins with her clear silver-gray eyes, and tilted her head curiously.

Although there is a sense of youthfulness in both appearance and figure, no matter how picky you are, you have to admit that this Bai Changzhi is a very cute human girl.

"Only the admission procedures have been completed."

Hopkins took a deep breath, tapped the outer edge of the fireplace and said, "As for the registration for the [Individual Competition] and [Team Competition]... they are all stuck."

The girl said "Oh", nodded slightly and then stopped talking.

"Miss Mu."

The dean frowned in displeasure and said in a slightly lower voice: "Don't you have anything else to say?"

The girl called Miss Mu answered without hesitation: "No."

"But we agreed before..."

"Yes, I did promise you to try my best to help win the [Individual Competition] and [Team Competition] championships, but if you are unable to participate because you failed to register, you can't blame me even if you can't fulfill your promise, right?"

"Having said that, but..."

"but what?"

"Oh...it's nothing."

Hopkins hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed the second half of the sentence, and then said seriously: "In short, it seems that my reputation as the dean is not big enough, so if I want to ensure that you participate, I'm afraid I have to It takes some extra convincing.”

The girl nodded with interest: "Oh, then come on."

"And the way to convince them is to prove that you are much better than the 'killer' chosen by those idiots!"

Hopkins unconsciously raised his voice and gritted his teeth: "I really can't figure out why they still have so much confidence when I have clearly reached a gambling agreement with the White Oath Academy and the Diesel family. !”

'Miss Mu' slowly took off the long sword wrapped in bandages from her back and placed it across her knees. While gently stroking the sword blade under the bandage with her index finger, she asked casually: "So what do you mean? What exactly does ‘prove’ mean?”

"A game, the place is the big training ground, the time is now."

A stern look flashed in Hopkins's eyes, and he said in a deep voice to 'Miss Mu' in front of him: "Let those wastes with high ambitions and low hands see why I put everything on you."

"Not interested in."

"Two thousand gold coins."

"Let's go."

…

twenty minutes later

Hopkins and 'Miss Mu' appeared in the large training ground behind the auditorium on the first floor of the Paladin Academy. The former looked at the dozen or so people in the audience, that is, apart from him, the Paladin Academy The management staff nodded in greeting, and the latter ignored the looks of curiosity, disdain, confusion, or anger, walked straight to the center of the venue, and faced the twenty or so people in front of them perfunctorily, almost armed to the teeth. The young knights saluted and said casually: "Sorry, it was a good fight."

"What do you mean!"

An orc knight wearing heavy black iron plate armor, like an iron can, became popular at that time.

As a result, this 'Miss Mu' just stood there with her eyes downcast, completely ignoring him.

"Well, little sister, are you the 'winning trump card' that the dean said?"

The blond female half-orc knight with a pair of pointed rabbit ears on her head blinked and reminded in a soft voice: "Well, why don't you change into a set of knight armor first? The uniform has no defense. If you accidentally get hurt for a while..."

Perhaps realizing that the other party had no intention of paying any attention to her, the bunny girl (seventh grade)'s voice became lower and lower, and finally she simply closed her mouth in aggrieved manner.

From the analysis of the twenty-odd people around her who suddenly became very unfriendly, it can be seen that this 'Miss Mu', who is extremely indifferent in both expression and attitude, has stabilized her hatred.

On the other side, more than a dozen people, headed by the two vice-presidents of the Paladin Academy, also invariably focused their attention on Hopkins, their eyes full of doubts and questions.

"You're worried that I'm playing some tricks and trying to hold back those elites you carefully selected below, right?"

In most cases, he is only responsible for matters related to administrative outreach. The dean, whose own strength is actually not too outstanding, snorted coldly, and looked at those present here who are basically as strong as him, and some of them are even better than him. The 'colleague' glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Then I won't talk nonsense. It's up to you to witness with your own eyes what the gap is."

"Your Excellency, the dean, you are worrying too much. In fact, we are just..."

A quasi-great lord with a half-legendary level, one of the vice-presidents of the Paladin Knight Academy smiled dryly and wanted to smooth things over, but was ignored by Hopkins gracefully.

"Let's do it, boys and girls, don't worry if I hurt the human girl in front of you, I will take revenge on you. As long as you can defeat her, no matter how you defeat her, I will give you an extra 100 points in the name of the principal. credit or equivalent resources.”

Hopkins strode to the edge of the field, calmly glanced at the 'Miss Mu' in the center of the field, and then flicked a gold coin into the air: "It doesn't matter if you can fight alone, wheel, or swarm. Use yours." Defeat her in every way you can think of."

The next moment, the more than 20 students in the venue let out a chorus of cheers almost at the same time, bursts of excitement burst out from their bodies, and then at the same time began a dazzling interspersed movement, and in just two days, Seconds later, a circle formed with 'Miss Mu' as the center.

Immediately afterwards, the tall orc man with a somewhat fiery temper roared, rushed out the moment Hopkins' gold coin hit the ground, and crashed straight into the white-haired girl standing quietly a few meters away.

A moment later——

Except for Hopkins, the pupils of everyone in the audience shrank suddenly!

The charge of the orc knight was restrained, just a second before the battle ax in his hand was about to fall on the girl.

It wasn't because he was sympathetic, nor because this orc was a white-haired man. In fact, he simply couldn't move forward.

Because there was a cut mark on his chest that was so subtle that it was almost impossible to detect it with the naked eye.

A precise cut opened the heavy plate armor, pierced the leather lining at the same position, and scratched the last layer of close-fitting clothing, but did not leave the slightest trace of slash marks on his skin.

However, despite this, the powerful orc man still felt a biting chill pass over his heart, and then disappeared like an hallucination.

He lowered his head stiffly and saw the crack on his breastplate. Then he raised his head with more difficulty and stared blankly at the white-haired girl in front of him who was still standing quietly.

Her only weapon, the excessively long sword, was still hanging motionless on her back. The only difference was that the linen cloth originally tied to it fell to the ground at some point, leaving only the length wrapped around the hilt of the sword. Still hanging there firmly.

"you……"

Swallowing with difficulty, the ashen-faced orc knight looked at the girl in front of him with a calm expression in horror, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you do?"

"I swung my sword."

'Miss Mu' gave the answer calmly, and then seemed to feel that what she said was not very specific, so she added: "To you."

"Wha...what sword?"

The battle ax in the orc knight's hand lowered silently.

"What sword?"

The girl tilted her head and repeated, then pointed to the silver-white, plain-looking long sword behind her back and replied: "This sword."

"This sword is clearly still hanging on your back!"

"Well, I've finished swinging it, so I put it away."

"Put it away...Put it away!?"

"Well, put it away."

The girl nodded seriously, then moved her gaze away from the face of the ashen-faced orc knight in front of her, looked at the elites of the Paladin Knight Academy with wonderful faces around her, and asked: "Who is next?"

No one answered, and there was only a dead silence in the center of the training ground.

Although the orc knight who has obviously lost his fighting spirit is not the strongest among this group of people, his strength and reaction speed can still be firmly ranked in the top ten. Although no one can see the process clearly, these intelligence Able-bodied students can still reconstruct what the girl just did from the conversation between the two.

She swung her sword, then drew it back.

Then, the college student who didn't have any obvious injuries on his body lost his will to fight, and he just stood there as if he had lost his soul.

These people are all top students among top students, so they are more aware of the seriousness of the matter. In other words, no one dares to go up and continue to 'learn' before they understand what just happened.

The scene suddenly cooled down.

It wasn't until exactly half a minute later that the half-orc female knight of the Rabbit tribe who was about to graduate next year struggled to pull out her two weapons that looked very similar to the decorative long swords that nobles from all over the world like to wear. She gritted her teeth and said: "Everyone, let's come together. Didn't the dean just say it? It doesn't matter even if we swarm up, we..."

She couldn't continue her words because the long sword that was originally hanging safely on the back of 'Miss Mu' had been quietly placed on the side of her neck, bringing with it a biting chill.

"You better move fast."

The sword master who also appeared behind the female knight of the Rabbit Tribe sighed, wrinkled his nose and muttered with a somewhat troubled expression: "How can this give me experience... Really, I still haven't suppressed it... That's why I I don’t want to draw my sword carelessly..."

Bang!

The weapon that had just been pulled out fell to the ground feebly, and the tall rabbit female knight knelt down on the ground in despair, losing all her will to fight.

And it was only then that the figure of the girl who was originally standing in the middle of the encirclement... or rather an afterimage, slowly disappeared into the air.

…

at the same time

On the home page of the real-time ranking list of the Innocence Realm's personal combat power rankings in public space, a name that was originally listed in the third to last position suddenly jumped up by 6 places——

No.12: Mu Xuejian-Absolute Neutral-Sword Chi
