Path of light

Chapter 92 93. Holy Light

Elf Academy, elementary martial arts training course.

Since Roy and Claire teamed up to defeat Steve and Adams last time, no one dared to provoke them in the martial arts training class.

Occasionally, elves would come over and ask Claire for advice on close combat skills, which made the shy and shy Claire quite uncomfortable.

Compared to Claire, Roy's side is much better. At least in front of a half-elf, they are more willing to be reserved.

On the training ground, Roy still used the wooden hammer...

He had completely given up the idea of ​​practicing the long sword, and Claire seemed to have found a target, and he insisted on using the long dagger.

When the two of them were sparring, their movements became bolder as they became more and more understanding.

Claire took a step to the left, leaning against the hammer and ducking next to Roy's right arm. The dagger bit Roy's throat like a poisonous snake.

Roy bent his knees, twisted his body and raised the log shield in his left hand.

A sound of ‘duh’,

The dagger stabbed the shield. Claire turned around, pulled out the dagger and nimbly dodged behind Roy, placing the dagger on his shoulder.

Roy raised his right hand holding the wooden hammer...

"The first time I stabbed the shield, you should have hit me with the shield." Claire put the dagger into the scabbard and said to Roy.

Roy glanced at the small hole pierced by the dagger on the shield and said with a smile: "I may not be able to use a shield in the future, so I may not be able to use 'shield strike' either."

"Why?" Claire couldn't understand Roy's thoughts.

Obviously a wooden hammer goes well with a round shield...

Roy waved the wooden hammer in his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't forget, I am a trainee priest. In the future, on the battlefield, I may hold a sacred prayer book instead of a buckler. I can't throw the sacred prayer book out to hit the enemy in front of me."

"Okay, your reasons are very good... quite reasonable!" Claire rolled her eyes with a hint of ridicule.

The two of them sat down casually on the grass. Elves are so casual. Even in class, as long as they feel tired, they can stop and take a rest at any time.

But the prerequisite is that the training must meet the standards. Once you fail to complete the training tasks assigned by the instructor, you are likely to face punishments such as prompts, warnings, and persuasion to leave.

This is different from the persuasion to leave at the beginning of the course.

…Unknowingly, this semester has reached the fourth week.

This also means that Roy will be at the Elf Academy for almost a month.

If anyone is persuaded to leave the elementary martial arts training class by the instructor at this time, he will not be able to study other courses, which means that this course will be completely abandoned this semester.

Just when the martial arts training class was about to end, instructor Nora strode over from the weapons rack, stood in the crowd, raised his hand and patted it hard.

All the students on the training ground gathered towards his location...

"Starting next week, you will have outdoor practical classes. This time the college has arranged for you to go to the Malaga jungle. Each teacher will assign tasks to you. The score of this task will be included in the final assessment results. .”

"What I have prepared for you is survival in the wild. I need you to be able to carry outdoor supplies, such as weapons, armor, tents, and water bottles in the most common wild environment, but you cannot carry any form of food or water. You can carry magic potions. It includes life potions and detoxification potions, but you are not allowed to carry life tree sap. During the assessment, you have to find food, water sources and campsites in the wild by yourself."

"You will travel along the Darne River through the Malaga jungle to reach the end of the upper reaches of the river, and then return to Castletown on a boat arranged by the college."

"My advice to you is not to get too close to the Darne River. The closer you are to the Darne River, it means that this area has been searched by countless elves participating in the assessment. Maybe you can't even find sour berries."

"Of course, there are benefits to doing this. The only benefit is safety and there won't be much danger."

Instructor Nora finished speaking to everyone, causing the elf students to laugh loudly.

Many students were aware of the extracurricular practical activities held by the college, but they were still very excited when they heard that they were going to travel through the Malaga jungle.

Teams can be formed for this activity, and there is no limit to the number of people in a team.

Claire immediately pushed Roy hard. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes clearly meant that the two were going to form a team...

In fact, Roy had no idea. It was better to go together with two people than alone.

At least it would be easier to set up tents, find food, deal with emergencies, etc.

Having said that, in fact, forming a team is also a kind of social interaction. Students who have a wide range of contacts in the college can always find a team with strong comprehensive abilities.

Similarly, students with outstanding abilities are also very popular, and everyone will rush to invite them to join.

The only unpopular student is the one who... has an eccentric personality, is often sarcastic in speech, and is still a rookie in his own abilities.

After Instructor Nora said this, in just a few minutes, several Silver Moon elves came over to invite Claire. When Claire said that he and Roy would advance and retreat together, those Silver Moon elves immediately hesitated. He stood up and asked Claire to think carefully before leaving. He had no intention of absorbing a half-elf.

"Actually... it would be nice if there were just the two of us forming a team."

Claire was a little angry, and then said indifferently.

Roy has nothing to say. The Silver Moon elves don't like mixed-blood elves. This is not surprising in Castletown, not to mention that he is still a half-elf...

Many Silver Moon elves have a kind of mysophobia, as if adding a mixed-blood elf to the team will make their bloodline impure along the way.

After Roy finished his second geography class, he realized that this outdoor practical class was not that simple.

Because in geography class, Teacher Harper also assigned geography class tasks:

"Next week, all students will go upstream along the Darne River and pass through the Malaga jungle north of Castletown to complete an outdoor activity of hiking through the jungle."

"You need to follow the map I provided. I don't care what you do. You must mark eight locations according to the map and arrive at the designated location. Someone will stamp your map at each location. Everyone must find at least five locations. You will only get your results after you sign in at the location and return to the academy. The more sign-in locations you find, the higher your score will be."

"If you encounter danger, you can run to the Dane River and wait for the academy's rescue boat. In addition, there are patrols along the way for outdoor activities. If you find someone cheating, for example, bring a good attendant or invite a ranger who is familiar with jungle life. …Wait a minute, then your outdoor class results will be cancelled.”

"The punishment for this kind of thing has always been very severe. Even if it is done by a member of your group, everyone's results will be cancelled. I advise you not to take risks."

After saying that, the somewhat skinny teacher Harper hurried out of the classroom with his geography book under his arm...

The moment he stepped out of the classroom, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. He was always so punctual.

Only then did Roy discover that for this kind of outdoor practice class, it would be easier to find friends who had also studied other courses. It would be easier to complete the tasks assigned by the teachers.

For example, Claire didn't take geography as an elective course, if he and Claire formed a team.

Then Claire will accompany him to complete the tasks assigned by Teacher Harper,

And he also has to accompany Claire to complete the tasks assigned by his teachers...

If there are too many members in a team, it is likely that the tasks involved will cover all courses, and that is the biggest headache.

I guess Claire, who just finished her music appreciation class, is also having a headache now!

Everyone has three days to prepare, so there is no rush.

After class, Roy had to rush to the Statue of Liberty Temple as soon as possible. There was a meeting in the temple today, and he was going to distribute holy water to the believers in the side hall.

…

Roy ran into the temple compound sweating profusely and heard bursts of choir singing from the main hall.

Whenever hymns are played in the temple, Roy will feel that this is a temple. Those songs seem to be filled with some kind of magical power, which makes people believe more firmly after listening to them.

After changing into a trainee priest's robe, Roy hurried out of the dressing room, and saw Sabrina running in from the courtyard door. She was running as if she couldn't move her legs, but her legs were exchanged very frequently. Her long skirt and long blond hair flowed as she ran.

Thanks to her long legs, when he ran past Roy, he felt like a breeze with a faint scent of lavender.

Sabrina changed into a plain choir robe and walked out of the dressing room. As she walked, she wiped the sweat on her face with a towel. There was a hint of crimson on her milk-white cheeks. Her beautiful green eyes quickly glanced at the person standing there. Roy, who was peeking at her at the door of the side hall, glanced at her and quickly walked into the main hall.

Roy came to the table with the silver basin in the side hall, carefully checked that the water in the holy pool was full of sacred power, and then turned around and stood up.

Priest Theodore is not in the temple, so today he is responsible for baptizing believers with holy water. In addition, he also distributes holy water.

At this time, Jasper and Abbott were helping in the main hall.

Before the prayer over there ended, Roy could still take a good rest.

He turned around and walked to the holy pool, condensed a ball of holy light and put it into the pool. In this way, when the holy light completely dissipated in the pool, the power of the holy light contained in the holy water would reach its peak.

Roy stood in front of the high platform. What he had to do at this time was to pray together with the hymns sung by the choir, just like the believers.

Maybe he has never seen the Holy Light descending from the Statue of Liberty, so he is not praying to the Statue of Liberty, he is praying to the Holy Light...
