He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

Around the battlefield, the red flags of the Church of War and the Knights Academy fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, on the highest platform, the Dean of the Knight Academy and several senior instructors were discussing the recent events in the Northern Territory.

"Gwen, I heard there's some incredible genius in your class? He just crippled Baron Frost's eldest son a few days ago?"

Just as Gwen and Cliff were discussing what ranking Rorschach could achieve in this GPA tournament, an untimely voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Gwen frowned and looked up. She saw a woman dressed in the same battle nun's attire, whose beauty was in no way inferior to Gwen's, walking over.

"Kalin, your class doesn't seem to be seated here, does it?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Gwen's smiling face vanished instantly.

The woman before them was none other than Sister Karin, the instructor of the First Class of Attendants.

Recently, Gwen and her opponent have been competing for the title of First Class Battle Sister within the Church of War. The two have been rivals for a long time, so they naturally won't be friendly to each other now that they've met.

"I just came to see what kind of genius has emerged in your Class 6 this time."

Karin crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping over Rorschach, who was in the waiting area of ​​the sixth rank of attendants, a smile playing on her lips:

"Delan is the personal disciple of Grand Knight Barton of the Blood Axe Knights. Tsk tsk, you student are probably doomed!"

"But to cripple his own brother like that, this student is really..."

"Karin, watch your words!"

Upon hearing this, Gwen's expression grew even colder.

After all, the news that Luo Xia had beaten Delan to a pulp had already spread throughout the War Knight Academy.

Some people believe that if someone like Rorschach, who has no family ties, were to become a knight, it would be a nightmare for the lower classes.

Others believe that Luo Xia is too ruthless. Why can't this kind of thing be resolved privately? If this is spread, it will be exposed on Xiaohongshu in no time!

Of course, there are also some who are spiritual warriors who think that Rorschach is a born war knight, after all, he has a lot of fighting spirit!

Gwen also felt that Rorschach hadn't done anything wrong, after all, she knew about Rorschach's past experiences, so when she heard Karin's words, she immediately wanted to breathe on him!

"I didn't say anything wrong."

Karin shrugged indifferently, then said with a hint of sarcasm:

"After all, the illegitimate son of a remote baron is nothing but a savage, utterly uncultured!"

“Luo Xia is my disciple. I advise you to watch your mouth.”

At that moment, Cliff, who had been silent all along, spoke up, and a powerful life magnetic field descended.

At this moment, the other party was like an old wolf about to erupt in fury, its sharp eyes fixed on Karin, as if if the other party dared to say another bad word about Luo Xia, then what awaited the other party would be unimaginable rage.

"Humph!"

Upon seeing Cliff's gaze, Karin shrank back, then, remembering that they were still inside the academy, she let out a cold snort.

Although Cliff's aura was intimidating, Karin still didn't believe he would dare to fight her directly inside the academy.

"Never mind, I didn't come here to argue with you today, Gwen."

Karin shifted her gaze from Cliff back to Gwen's cold, pretty face, a defiant smile playing on her lips, and slowly revealed her true purpose:

"I've heard that the prize for first place in this GPA competition is a bottle of 'perfect-grade' Life Dragon Blood. How about it, interested in making a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen's eyes narrowed. She knew that Karin was being malicious, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

Even so, she couldn't lose her spirit!

"Let's bet on which of our two classes' students will get first place in this GPA competition!"

Karin's gaze swept over the waiting area of ​​the Sixth Attendant Squad, finally landing on Rorschach, who was wiping a black wooden sword. A hint of disdain crossed her eyes as she said:

"If you win, I will automatically withdraw from the competition for the title of First-Class Battle Nun and offer you a knightly resource worth a thousand gold pieces. But if you lose..."

Karin paused, her smile widening, and slowly said:

"I want you to admit in front of everyone that you are inferior to me!"

Upon hearing this, the teachers from the other classes around them all turned to look, their eyes filled with anticipation for a good show.

After all, Gwen and Karin, as the two youngest, most beautiful, and strongest battle nuns in the War Knight Academy, had long been embroiled in a power struggle.

What makes you think you can win?

Upon hearing this, Gwen's expression grew even colder. She acknowledged that Rorschach was very talented, but the fact that Karin dared to set up this bet meant that the other party had absolute confidence.

"Because of her."

Karin smiled confidently and then waved to the reserve seats of the first entourage.

The next moment, a tall girl dressed in a white knight outfit, with long golden hair tied in a ponytail, stepped out from the crowd.

The girl's face was as exquisite as an elf's, and her clear, proud blue eyes were captivating. She simply stood there quietly, yet her aura was impossible to ignore.

"She is Elsa von Austin, the daughter of the Violet Knights' leader!"

"My God! She's actually come to our academy! I heard she was already a super knight squire when she was fifteen!"

The moment Elsa appeared, the instructors of the other servant classes around her exclaimed in surprise, clearly recognizing her.

At this moment, the instructors looked at the incredibly confident Karin with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

The Violet Knights are one of the five great knightly orders of the North, and their strength and foundation are in no way inferior to the Greymane Knights.

As the captain's only daughter, Elsa has enjoyed top-notch resources and training since childhood. Even the breathing technique she practices is a 'perfect' Ivy Breathing Technique!

It can be said that Elsa, who is now at the War Knight Academy, has already been pre-determined to be the absolute number one among this year's freshmen, and is the undisputed strongest genius!

"So, Gwen, are you up for the bet?"

Karin's smile deepened as she looked at Gwen's rather unpleasant expression.

To be honest, she had to thank Luo Xia for waking up early, otherwise, according to the academy's allocation, Elsa would have been assigned to fill the vacancy in Class 6.

But now...

Gwen fell silent. She glanced at Rorschach, who was still chuckling and carefully wiping his black sword on the bench, and then at Elsa, who stood there like a princess. She felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although she had great confidence in Rorschach, as a battle nun, she was aware of Elsa's strength.

With nearly sixty layers of life force circulation, coupled with a perfect breathing technique, this is simply a devastating blow to other people of the same age!

Even the elite knight trainees don't have this level!

"Okay, let's bet!"

Just then, Cliff spoke up, smiling at Karin with his arms crossed, and said:

"However, I do not agree to your conditions!"

"If you lose, you must apologize to Rorschach for your words and actions just now, and personally compensate Rorschach for reputational damages of one thousand gold pounds, how about that?"

Gwen was startled by Cliff's words, but seeing his confident demeanor, she nodded to Karin.

"I'll bet you what Sir Cliff said!"

"make a deal!"

……

Chapter 50 The Emperor's Order of Commendation (Please read on, please vote, thank you meow!!!)

"Dear students and teachers, welcome to this year's Freshman GPA Competition!"

As the dean of the War Knight Academy, a middle-aged man with white hair, announced the start of the competition from the podium, the atmosphere on the entire arena was instantly ignited.

"This GPA competition will last for one day and consists of two events: 'Sacred Cards' and 'Arena Battles.' The top ten students in terms of GPA will receive special rewards from the academy!"

"Now, I declare the GPA competition officially open!"

……

"Captain, I'll go with Ryan to the Sacred Card!"

Anthony straightened his flashy custom-made suit and said confidently to Rorschach:

"The arena is your domain, God of War Rorschach, but this time, the Sacred Card belongs to me, God of Gamblers Anthony!"

After a recent grueling training week, Anthony has grown increasingly in awe of Rorschach's abilities and no longer harbors any desire to compete with the Cavaliers.

But the pride of being a nobleman also fueled Anthony's determination. He refused to believe that there could be another 'Rorschach' among all the sacred tablets in the entire academy!

This time, he is determined to win back glory for himself and for the Extreme Team!

"Go on, go on, don't embarrass our Extreme Team."

Rorschach chuckled as he wiped his black sword. Hearing Anthony's words, he waved his hand, signaling the other to hurry up and leave, as he was currently in a good mood.

Meanwhile, out of sight of everyone, the Wise System in front of Luo Xia began to pop up tasks with a series of notifications.
