Long Kongkong looked really displeased as he seated himself in the classroom.
He had just reported in the morning, and his first class after matriculation was starting in the afternoon. He was placed in Class One for knights freshmen, that is, 1st Grader Class One of the Knights Academy.
He had just heard from his classmates that the admission requirement for the Knights Academy was an innate inner spiritual power of twenty, but for 1st Grader Class One, it was the highest, at thirty.
That was all well and good, but he felt like he had been tricked by Long Dangdang.
Where were the beautiful maiden knights they had talked about? Where were they?
There were thirty students in the 1st Grader Class One, and as he scanned the room, he could see only the male gender, from desks to chairs to benches. Yes, there wasn't a single girl.
"Why aren't there any girls in our class?" Long Kongkong grabbed his deskmate's arm and asked.
"Genius, our Class One has high admission standards! Moreover, there are very few girls who are willing to become knights. Most of them choose a magic specialization! Even if they choose our inner spiritual power system, they generally opt for something like an assassin. Our Knights Academy is famously known as a monk's academy. Rumour has it that there are only three girls in all five classes of freshmen."
"Can I switch to a class with girls?" Long Kongkong asked in a mournful tone.
"That's definitely impossible! I've heard about you. You are the first genius in our Knights Academy, and there's no way the head teacher would let you go! By the way, Genius, let me introduce myself. My name is Xi Feng, with an innate inner spiritual power of fifty-five. Besides you, I must be the highest in our class. From here on out, I'm counting on you."
Xi Feng was a tall and robust young man. In Soaring Dragon City, his looks were not outstanding, but he had a simple and honest face.
"Alright, alright." Long Kongkong slumped down bored on his desk, "Xi Feng, then tell me, which academy has the most beauties?"
Xi Feng scratched his head and replied, "I think there are quite a lot in all three specializations of magic."
Long Kongkong sat up suddenly, thinking to himself, "You, Long Dangdang, so you chose the magic specialization. You are so cunning! I fell for it."
Just at that moment, a tall figure stepped into the room. The man, with a height of over two metres and a remarkably sturdy build, appeared around thirty or forty years old. His wide shoulders resembled a city wall, and his face was adorned with a spiky beard. The moment he walked into the room, an invisible and intimidating aura emanated from him.
The thirty students who were having a good time instantly quieted down.
"I am your form teacher, Wei Huo. Starting today, I will be responsible for your class for the next twelve years. Of course, that's assuming all of you manage to pass the tests each year." As he spoke his last words about passing the tests, a savage grin seemed to appear on his face.
Long Kongkong sighed inwardly, thinking, "Why is it that even the teacher is a sturdy man? It would be nice if there was a beautiful female teacher."
"Who is Long Kongkong? Stand up!" Wei Huo roared.
"Genius, he's calling you." Xi Feng tapped the soul-departed Genius.
"Huh?" Long Kongkong looked up at Wei Huo.
"Long Kongkong, stand up." Wei Huo again yelled, causing the classroom windows to vibrate.
Only then did Long Kongkong lazily stand up, "That's me."
Wei Huo stared at Long Kongkong. Although the boy looked nonchalant, he had not been suppressed by Wei Huo's imposing aura at all. Wei Huo secretly praised him, truly worthy of being a super talent with an innate inner spiritual power of eighty-seven!
"From now on, you will be the class leader of 1st Grader Class One. Do you have any issues?"
"Huh?" Long Kongkong subconsciously looked at a group of classmates who were significantly more muscular than his peers. Who would want to be the leader of a bunch of muscle-heads?
"Long Kongkong, although you have an excellent talent, you must still work hard. And not only do you need to work hard yourself, but you should also help your classmates. Strive to lead all of your classmates to make progress together, not letting anyone fall behind, and enabling everyone to smoothly graduate and enter the Temple. This is your responsibility as a Luminosity Benedictor, and it is also the profound hope the academy has for you. Let me introduce him to you all. Long Kongkong, with an innate inner spiritual power of eighty-seven, is the first genius in the history of the Knights spectrum in Soaring Dragon City and even the entire Anno Province. Now, let's give him a warm round of applause to welcome him as the class leader of our 1st Grader Class One."
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Thunderous applause filled the room.
Long Kongkong blinked, covered his embarrassment with a cough, but this single cough silenced the entire class instantly. All of his classmates stared at him, their eyes filled with fervor.
Having experienced the learning environment of the junior college, they knew what it meant to have an innate inner spiritual power of eighty-seven. This indicated that he had a chance to challenge the position of a divine Seal knight in the future! When the gap was too big, they didn't even think about challenging him.
Wei Huo looked at Long Kongkong meaningfully. "Class leader, say a few words."
"Well, hello everyone, I'm Long Kongkong, from now on we're all peers, I'll lead you guys to fly."
"The class leader is mighty!" Xi Feng was the first to shout. Immediately, the entire 1st Grader Class One of the Knights Academy echoed with cheers.
Wei Huo, content, gestured for Long Kongkong to sit down. He was satisfied with the class leader who easily blended in with the students. He had initially been worried that Long Kongkong, due to his exceptional talent, might be arrogant. Turns out, he was doing great.
"Very good! Now, tell me, what are the ten codes of conduct for a knight?"
In unison, all the students shouted, "Humility, Honesty, Mercy, Bravery, Justice, Sacrifice, Honor, Persistency, Love, and Righteousness."
