Demon Royal Family

Glancing down, Ivo gently read the cover of the book in Ender's hand: "How to Be Courageous."

Ender's face turned red and he hurriedly hid the book behind him, not wanting Ivo to see it. He said excitedly: "Mr. Ivo, this is really, really fate... I have always wanted to pay back the money, but I don't know your identity. …”

"Don't pay it back, there's no shortage of money."

"W-How can this be done..." Ender was a little anxious.

Ivo rolled his eyes: "I don't want money. If you clean the dormitory, it will be regarded as repaying the debt. If you don't agree, then I won't ask you to repay the debt."

"Okay then."

…

In the afternoon, exclamations rang out in the dormitory building. Ander ran in, waking up Ivo who was meditating. He panted and said, "Mr. Ivo, someone is looking for you downstairs."

Ivo responded casually and came downstairs. Sure enough, it was Nafi who was looking for him. She changed into a robe-style school uniform, elegant and beautiful.

All the male students in the dormitory stuck their heads out and were attracted by Nafei's appearance. Their eyes were filled with passion and covetousness. Seeing Ivo and Nafei talking to each other, making Nafei cover her mouth and chuckle from time to time, they looked jealous. , asked each other about their identities, and soon found out that Ivo and Nafi were freshmen.

"The man's name is Ivo, and he is a freshman in the Warrior Department. The girl is a student in the Culture Department. They both entered school yesterday. I heard that they are dropouts from the Royal Academy."

"Really?!" Some people couldn't believe it.

"What an idiot!" someone said sourly with jealousy.

A student who was as strong as a calf with bright eyes said, "Don't fight with me, everyone. I, Valer, will definitely pursue this beautiful girl!"

"Hey, how could such a beautiful lady with such a temperament fall in love with a stupid cow like you?" The somewhat handsome student with his hair covering half of his eyes flipped up his hair and laughed mercilessly: "Only one as charming and handsome as me , Only a well-educated swordsman can attract the attention of such a beautiful woman."

"Ocott, who are you calling a stupid cow?!"

"That's you, Val."

"Damn sissy!"

"Asshole, do you want to fight?!"

The surrounding students immediately dispersed. Valer and Ocott were the second strongest students in the Warrior Department and Swordsman Department respectively. They were afraid of being accidentally injured in a fight.

A tall and burly man suddenly trotted over. He was wearing a snow-white cloak and a lion's mane shawl. He looked like a white lion. He walked like a dragon and a tiger and had a strong aura. He looked around and said, "Who wants to fight? Add me." !”

Valer and Ocott's expressions twitched, and they quickly put their arms around each other, smiled, and said in unison: "Brother Barlow, we are joking. We are all classmates with deep friendships. How could we hurt each other?"

Barlow looked disappointed when he heard this, "It's boring."

One student hesitated and said: "Isn't your focus on beauties?"

…

Nafei wanted to live in the manor. The two chatted casually for a few words and quickly ended the conversation. Nafei turned around and left. There was a carriage with the Lynches family crest waiting at the entrance of the college, carrying Nafei away.

The students upstairs fell silent when they saw the luxurious carriage that clearly belonged to the nobles. They were all civilians, and they all had a subconscious inferiority complex when facing nobles. Their enthusiasm was as if they were doused by cold water, and they returned to their rooms dejectedly. Valer and Oko Te looked at each other, full of helplessness.

"Alas, my first love ended before it even began."

Barlow looked at Ivo, turned and walked towards the fourth floor, muttering to himself on the way: "There is a new guy here, let's find time to have a fight."

…

The morning sun wakes up the sleeping earth.

The next morning was the combat skills instruction class. Ninety-three students from the warrior department gathered at the training ground, waiting for instructor Mapoyaf. Ivo stood alone, chatting with Ender, and the other students From time to time, curious glances were cast, and some students' eyes were mixed with feigned disdain caused by jealousy.

Mapoyafu came to the training ground, holding a big sword. The students stopped talking. He glanced around, stayed on Ivo for a while, and said: "No matter what kind of powerful combat skill it is, The basics of the genre are the simplest attack movements, and the foundation is the most important, yet few people pay attention to it... In this class, I will teach you the techniques of slashing and thrusting."

There were many iron two-handed swords on the ground. The students each picked up one and began to practice following Mapoyaf's guidance.

"Step forward, keep your wrist loose, and tighten it at the moment of attack. Pay attention to the position of the sword tip..."

Although the training foundation will not make the warrior significantly stronger, the more solid the foundation, the easier it will be to improve the mastery of combat skills. Although Ivo didn't use a sword, basic training was equally effective, so he sweated and started training seriously.

There are dozens of basic movements of combat skills, such as cutting, splitting, stabbing, picking, etc. The basic movements are combined with each other to form powerful combat skills schools. Ivo attaches great importance to the basics, and his thinking is more open-minded. When he usually exercises the High Hammer style combat skills, he will also try to integrate various combat skills into more powerful skills. "Shock Chisel" is his first achievement.

In the study of combat skills, his level far exceeds his own level.

Mapoyafu walked up to Ivo, watched his movements closely, and gave instructions from time to time, and Ivo adjusted his movements in time. Half an hour later, Ivo felt something was wrong, wiped his sweat, and turned to the other side. Mapoyaf, who had not moved next to him, wondered: "Vice principal, why do you just stay next to me? You are guiding others."

Mapoyaf smiled and said: "You are a new student and need more guidance."

The academy attaches great importance to Ivo, so Mapoyav puts more energy on Ivo. He is very satisfied with Ivo's performance. His strength is even and he always retains some force when slashing. Unlike most students who spent all their energy on chopping, Mapoyafu secretly praised Ivo for his solid foundation.

Mapoyav's attitude towards Ivo made the other students look at him frequently, and the curious ones became more curious, while the jealous ones became even more envious.

After practicing for a while, a belated black-haired man slowly walked over and said, "I'm here."

Mapoyaf nodded slightly. The black-haired man cherished his words and said nothing more. He picked up the big sword and practiced with the others. The simple movements seemed to have a special rhythm in his hands, and they were heavy and heavy. The sword danced with a cold and deadly feeling in the black-haired man's hand, and Ivo's eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.

The black-haired man is about fifteen or sixteen years old. His black hair is shawl and his face is stern. His angular and handsome face has a temperament that should not be approached by strangers. If you don't look at the appearance, you will subconsciously ignore this person's age. Surrounded by invisible barriers, all communication and interaction with others are excluded, and all students are afraid to stay away from him.

The black-haired man seemed to be aware of Ivo's gaze, glanced at him slightly, raised his brows slightly, and then turned his head as if nothing had happened.

Ivo felt that the black-haired man looked familiar, and secretly thought there was something strange about him. He poked the burly student next to him, "Classmate, who is that black-haired man?"

The burly student happened to be Valer, and he glanced at Ivo and ignored him. Ivo muttered, "That's really unkind," and patted Ander on the other side's shoulder, "Ander, I want to ask you something."

Ender quickly put down his sword and answered seriously: "His name is Hades. He is the strongest student in the warrior department. He lives on the fourth floor like us."

Ivo became interested: "I heard that the people on the fourth floor are all weirdos. How are they so weird?"

"Hades lives in 410. He is very indifferent and hardly communicates with other students. However, he is very strong and is the number one in the warrior department. Valer cannot beat him. He was defeated in ten seconds of actual combat training (Valer interrupted: You don’t need to emphasize this sentence), the person living in 408 is Barlow, the strongest student in the swordsman department. We all call him ‘White Lion’. He is a fighting maniac, and I..." At this point, Ender suddenly blushed. , hemming and hawing.

Valler said angrily: "Ander is the most courageous warrior I have ever seen. He doesn't even dare to kill people. He actually chooses two iron shields as weapons and never fights back. What a coward."

Ender's face turned red and he said quietly: "I, I'm afraid of getting hurt..."

Valer snorted: "That's why we call you 'Turtle Shell'."

Ivo was confused. Since the people on the fourth floor of the dormitory were all students valued by the college for their potential, he didn't think Ender had much potential.

In the afternoon there was a physical training class, including a 30-mile long-distance run with weights, swinging a 73-pound iron sword a thousand times, walking around the academy three times while standing on one's head, lifting weights 500 times on a 520-pound stone pier, etc. Ivo handled it easily. , only a thin layer of sweat broke out, showing physical fitness equivalent to a level 2 warrior. Some students who underestimated Ivo also put away their contempt.

Although Hurricane Academy ranks at the bottom, the students are also at the average level of level 1 warriors, and Ivo's performance is already above the standard.

During the training, Ivo paid close attention to Hades. No matter what kind of training he performed, Hades remained expressionless, as if he could not feel fatigue. However, his training volume was at least the standard of a level 3 warrior. Ivo was sure He had never met Hades, but his intuition kept reminding him that the two must have crossed paths before.

It was already night after class, and the college’s cafeteria had paid meals, and there were many precious ingredients. Common people simply couldn’t afford the most expensive meal, the 500 benas “nutrition package”, but Ivo still had 200,000 benas on hand. Si, he does not treat himself badly. Nutritious food can help the body better absorb the effects of a day's exercise.

Ivo came to the library, borrowed some combat theory books, and returned to his dormitory to read slowly.

Many schools of powerful combat techniques are secrets that are not passed down. Of course, there are also combat techniques that are widely circulated. Powerful warriors summarize their experiences and write them into books. Although warriors attach great importance to actual combat, theoretical books can also give people some insights.

Nafi asked a student from the language department to run errands and gave Ivo a note, saying that Talper had agreed to Ivo living in the college, and at the same time sent two guards to protect him secretly, with the intention of monitoring Ivo. Having decided to study here for three years, Talper's little tricks didn't matter to him.

At night, Ivo and Ander stayed in the dormitory and read books. Ander was weak and shy, not like a warrior at all. When chatting with Ivo, he would always tense up nervously and speak without confidence, which made Ivo think he was It was a woman disguised as a man. After some intense "examinations", Ivo confirmed that Ander was really a boy. He lowered his head and continued reading, ignoring the expression of despair on Ender's face who was lying on the bed.

The chatter of male students could be heard from time to time downstairs, and it was so lively that Ivo thought he had returned to his high school boarding career in his previous life.

The first day of college life passed by just like that...

It’s impossible!

Late at night, everything was silent, the starry night was deep, and all the students fell asleep. Ivo, who was lying on the bed and dozing, suddenly opened his eyes, got up quietly, and quietly walked out of the dormitory without waking Ander.

"Hades...I must have seen you."

Ivo tiptoed toward the 410 dormitory. Once he became suspicious, he would never ignore it.

He quietly opened the door of the dormitory with the spare key that Paro had stolen. The room was dark. As soon as Ivo took a step forward, he suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart.

"bass!"

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared in the dark night, piercing Ivo's throat.

Ivo remained calm in the critical moment, stabbed first and then struck first. The iron dagger blocked the murderous weapon stabbing his throat like a frame jump. A familiar murderous aura invaded, and a flash of light flashed in Ivo's mind.

"It turns out to be you, the assassin of the Brotherhood of Shadows!"

Hades' expressionless face emerged from the darkness, and his tone did not fluctuate: "You know too much!"

Ivo laughed and said: "If I say one plus one equals three, will you give up silence?"

(This is an old joke...)
