Chapter 155: I’ll Take on All of You
Translator: Udong Editor: Rundi
Watching his good friends around him, Durk wiped the dust on his face, and a smile appeared. This difficult journey was more like a temper through which all the members had grown by a lot! They were all exhausted except Qian Jin, who looked the same as he did on the first day!
In the distance, a trooper was riding toward them on a rushing war horse, raising a burst of dust along the road! He came to their front, pulled on the rein and the horse’s hooves lifted high amidst its neighing! It circled on the spot a few times before settling down.
The horsemanship immediately caused some admiration! Obviously, this trooper has received special training before! Durk did not expect a trooper could control a horse to such an excellent level!
The visitor sat on the horse in a light armor. He glanced searchingly at the twelve students and said, "Your headmaster has already informed our general about your arrival. Now I’ll give each of you a waist card so you can enter the Reventment Battlefield. You have to remember, once in the barracks, you all become soldiers! You are no longer students anymore, at least for the period you are there! You have to obey every order! No matter who you are, you will receive punishments accordingly if you commit a crime! Understand?"
Under the sharp eyes, the students involuntarily squared their shoulders and answered all together: "Yes sir!"
The trooper was amazed while he glanced at Qian Jin. Even he could not stop himself from looking at this student. Although the young man also answered his question, he had this strange feeling of being a rookie in front of that student! How weird!
He hurriedly looked away and whipped his horse back to the barracks. He shouted, "Come on in, your headmaster is waiting."
Durk took the lead running to the barracks, followed by other students who also sped up their paces. Under the guidance of Rodriguez these days, most of them had been accustomed to treating Durk as the chief warrior.

"Well, generally, these from Oakland are not as good as the Oyedeji’s..." The Captain of Thousands took off his helmet, revealing his tanned face and frowned. "But there is a very strange student."
"Really? Is he strange in the same way as Duren Burg from Orwellian Academy who came in the day before yesterday?" The man once again threw out another question and the soldiers around all snuggled up as their heard the name of Duren Burg, which was the most heard of name these days, in addition to that of Fanta Kunge! In fact, many soldiers had thought Duren Burg to be the best student if it was not for the renowned family name Kunge!
"It’s hard to tell." The Captain of Thousands shook his head without any hesitation. "This new student must have gone through a lot! He was so damn calm!"
Colorless smiles appeared on the surrounding faces and they all went back to their own positions. For these soldiers who had been accustomed to bloody weapons, whoever deserved their veneration should have some real strength! They disdained to cast a look at those who claim to have seen a lot of big scenes but had no practical skills or strength!
"Hey, buddy, you on duty today?"
The soldiers all smiled as they saw a vigorously fine young man who was greeting everyone along his way.
The black and healthy hair of this young man was tied back with a black sheepskin string and the sleeves of his soldier clothes were rolled up, revealing a pair of strong forearms. The muscle lines were so bright and beautiful, carrying vitality, flexibility, and power!
He walked leisurely, but the slender legs revealed the poise and grace of a leopard. He was not handsome in a traditional way, but his eyes were born bright like stars under the heavy eyebrows. They also looked sharp, like to swords! action
"Kid, we have nothing to eat." Another soldier laughed at the approaching Duren Burg. "Really, I got nothing."
"Knock it off!" The cheeky kid squinted. "I know you have a pot of tobacco! Come on! Give me a puff!"
"P*ss off, you little bastard!" The old soldier kicked his *ss and rebutted humorously, "Last night you cheated Lou for his pipe and returned it back with nothing. Everyone knows it! "
The young man rubbed his rump and revealed an ingratiating smile. "Don’t you listen to his nonsense! You know Lou! He is such a penny pincher! There were just two pieces in the pipe! I hadn’t even taken a full puff before it all went out! How can he compare to you who is generous and full of energy?"
The old soldier cheerfully looked at the little weasel. "Save it! You know I don’t take flattery! I say, you kid is not here just for a puff, right?"
"Haha, you got me!" Duren Burg was not embarrassed even though his little trick was exposed. Watching Oakland students walk into the fortress in the distance, he said, "I heard that the Oakland Academy has never sent any students out before this! So I have come to meet some new friends, see if there are any interesting guys. And it seems I’m not the only one! Look, the Oyedeji students are coming too!"
Watching his loving students coming all the way to his front, Rodriguez laughed in satisfaction and anticipation! They finally walked out! As long as this experience could be of some help to the future exam, they have not come here for nothing!
"It’s the Reventment Battlefield here." Then, Rodriguez asked Durk, "How do you feel?"
All the students looked around in curiosity! Durk retrieved his gaze but could not conceal the jumpiness in his voice, "A little bit nervous and excited."
"That’s alright," the responsible instructor said comfortingly. "Adapt yourselves as soon as possible, and the General Exam will not be a problem..."
"Well, I’m afraid you will still fail!"
Some predominant and prolonged words rang behind Rodriguez. At which, all the Oakland students turned around to look at the speaker.
"Oyedeji Mage and Warrior Academy?" Rodriguez instantly put on a dull and unresponsive face while looking at the middle-aged instructor among the crowd. "Mr. Aliku, please control your students! Don’t they know what respect is? "
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Control?" Aliku stroke his greasy hair while faking an innocent look. "I’m not sure, your excellency, instructor Rodriguez! How do you want me to control my students? I always think that real warriors should not be too bound. I champion ‘free development’. That’s why Oyedeji has been in the top four Elementary Warrior and Mage Academy for the past decade, while you Oakland could only rank at the bottom!"
Durk and the other students were all jolted! Oyedeji? Wasn’t it one of the top four Elementary Warrior and Mage Academy in Yulee State? Were they here for some real battlefield experience too?
"Instructor Aliku, I’m not so sure what you are talking about!" A deliberately naive voice came from a male warrior student standing beside Aliku! For God’s sake, he was a man of 7 inches high! And what’s with his mocking smile?
"My dear student Jerne, what do you want to know?" Aliku said as if playing a support role to Jerne. "Your mentor is here! Just ask! "
"I’m wondering, why would a poor college like the Oakland Mage and Warrior Novice Academy pay to come here? Is it not embarrassing enough to fail the General Exam? I suppose they will not stop until they are all beat and chopped by the Demons, right?"
Oyedeji’s students laughed together loudly! They had thought they would make a hit this time on the Reventment Battlefield, but Fanta Kunge, the one who had taken the bun in Jinsey State’s General Exam also came, saying that he would have a trial before college started.
The Oyedeji could do nothing about him but have a fit. Fanta Kunge was not only the best warrior in the Jinsey Elementary Warrior and Mage Academy, which produced nothing but great fighters, but more importantly, he bore a prominent name by which the Oyedeji students were deterred in awe by!
The Kunge Family had been at the apex of the Jinsey legion pyramid as a Mars family without even a single bloodline! In the Zence Empire, there were a few legion leaders who had not been a bloodline warrior, aside from the Jinsey Legion! And the Kunge Family was known as one of them! The family was a pride as well as a holy land for all ordinary warriors!
The Kunge generations had always shouldered the task of challenging the bloodline warriors! This time Fanta Kunge should stand out above the rest of the bloodline warriors in the Jinsey State’s General Exam. He really amazed the world as a true genius! With such a figure on the fort, the Oyedeji students all felt depressed and frustrated!
Early in this morning, one of them had heard that Oakland would also be here. They thought it would be a great chance for an ego trip! Compared with third-class Oakland students, they were definitely a cut above!
"Apologize!" Durk stepped forward and shot a raging glare at the Oyedeji students/ "Now, apologize to us for your rudeness!"
"Apologize?" Jerne sneered as he bent down! He poked Durk’s shoulder and provoked, "You want me to apologize? What can you do if I don’t?" Durk gradually narrowed his eyes! Fury was sent out through his clenched teeth, "Apologize! Otherwise, I will not go easy on you!"
"Do you want to hit me?" Jerne opened his arms and shrugged in pure provocation. "Come on, leave the military laws alone! Take it as an exchange between our two colleges! If you are afraid, you can turn to your classmates for help! I’ll take you all! "
