Chapter 45 The Knight Tower

"Come on."

Marcus crooked his finger at him to provoke him.

Hans was calm and didn't take the initiative to attack. He was looking for Marcus's loophole.

This was a very professional opponent.

It was interesting.

A grade three student was so calm. The mentality of the other party was almost the same as his. It all depended on their next strength.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already made several moves. Marcus also knew Hans's attacking habits.

His sword moves were surging and he liked to fight people head-on.

It was a good choice to deal with his sword move with the cross wind and rain swordsmanship.

With the help of the cross wind and rain swordsmanship, Marcus hit the weakest part of Hans's body perfectly and accurately. Then Hans staggered and fell to his knees.

It was too late for him to stand up and fight against Marcus again.

Marcus must have found this weakness.

He moved so fast that a sword was placed horizontally on his neck.

"You lost."

Marcus announced the news coldly. Hans raised his head and glared at Marcus. He didn't want to admit defeat.

But the result had been decided, and he would not change it easily because he was unwilling to.

Hans's fight was forcefully destroyed by Marcus, which gave him a little hope.

Maybe there was not a big gap between him and Marcus. As long as he worked hard, he could catch up with him.

Orianna covered her mouth with one hand, and the hidden emotions were secretly spreading.

She was surprised that Marcus was really powerful.

When Hans and Marcus fought against each other, she had speculated that Hans couldn't defeat Marcus, and so did the result.

"What did Hans say? I don't think I understand the fight."

"I'm also a little curious. Weren't the two of them evenly matched in strength at the beginning?"

"What the hell is going on?"

The battle confused the onlookers. In their eyes, the two had been fighting back and forth. Why did Hans suddenly lose?

The result was unexpected.

After the initial questions were raised, then the fear replaced their questions.

Marcus was so strong that he could make people lose to him without being noticed.

Such a sense of frustration was very likely to drive a person crazy.

The judges and the teachers didn't say anything, which proved that Marcus's result was effective.

When he came down from the battle ring, Hans, who was standing behind him, stared at him and said, "I won't admit defeat so easily. Maybe you win today, but I will definitely defeat you in the future."

Marcus just smiled and didn't respond.

He walked across the venue and stopped in front of Tristan.

"Teacher, I want to skip a grade."

Marcus didn't ask too much. With his current strength and talent, he shouldn't be in the knight apprentice.

"Okay, I agree. I will try my best to recommend you to a better knight school for further study. You should continue to work hard in the future."

Tristan patted Marcus's shoulder and sighed.

He should have seen Marcus become stronger and stronger.

In the beginning, he looked so weak and unbearable. Now, he was at the top of all the people in the past three years and had won first place in the swordsmanship exchange meeting. He deserved to be the strongest.

"Thank you, teacher. I will."

When Marcus nodded, Hans ran over.

Marcus ignored his harsh words, which made him more unconvinced.

When he heard that Marcus was going to skip a grade, he opened his eyes and said, "If you want to skip a grade and leave here, I will follow you."

It seemed that he had found a rather unconvinced challenger in the battle just now.

Marcus smiled. Although he didn't say anything, it made Hans angry.

He didn't want his opponent to be so proud.

"Mr. Tristan, I also want to skip a grade." Hans applied with a firm look.

"Do you know it's not that easy to skip a grade? You should pass the examination first"

Tristan said seriously.

"I know. I'm willing to take part in the examination of skipping a grade."

Hans nodded his head firmly. He thought if Marcus could pass, then he should have no problem.

This time, the first place was so close to him, it was just a short distance.

But his dream was shattered because of Marcus.

If it weren't for Marcus, he would have won first place.

"Okay, since you two want to apply, I'll agree. But now, Marcus, you have something more important to do."

Tristan smiled and looked at the battle ring.

Then he took Marcus to the battle ring.

"This time, the first place of our swordsmanship examination has been born. It's Marcus who is beside me. At the same time, he is also the chief student of grade three."

Tristan announced the news. Marcus deserved to be the chief student.

The people standing below all fixed their eyes on him.

"He is so powerful. In this top student challenge, he didn't fail at all. He passed all the challenges successfully,"

"I have seen all the process of the competition. There is no doubt about his strength."

The crowd whispered, but more people were cheering for Marcus.

Although Kennan failed, the initial depression had been removed from him.

Looking up at Marcus who was enjoying the honor, Kennan was even a little relieved.

This was just the first step of Marcus's journey of strength.

He was looking forward to seeing Marcus grow stronger.

On this day, everyone was cheering and jumping.

The name "Marcus" spread all over the school.

He was the chief student.

Under everyone's gaze, Marcus followed Tristan to the office.

"Congratulations again, our new chief student."

Tristan teased Marcus before the start.

"Mr. Tristan, please don't make fun of me. I can get to where I am today is with your help."

Tristan was more satisfied with Marcus's modesty.

Only in this way could he have a better development

"Okay, I'll tell you the rules of skipping a grade. If you want to successfully skip a grade, you need to pass the fourth floor of the knight tower."

"The knight tower?"

Marcus was confused because it was a completely strange name.

"The knight tower is a magic weapon created by the two deans of our school. Each floor in it represents a different test and difficulty. After passing the fourth floor, you will be able to skip a grade."

This was actually a test of strength.

Otherwise, everyone wanted to skip a grade. If they were not strong enough, they would only be bullied if they jumped up.

It was a very smart way to distinguish who was smarter between the skipped grades in this way.

"Okay, I see." Marcus nodded.

"This is the final exam of grade five. If you can come out, it means that your strength has reached grade five."

Tristan patted Marcus on the shoulder.

He believed that Marcus could pass the examination perfectly.

"The examination will be held in three days, and the place will be in the game hall."

After knowing all the situations about this examination, Marcus showed his thanks to Tristan before leaving his office.

Three days passed quickly.

Marcus arrived at the game hall on time.

There were already many people waiting inside.

Hans was also the one who took part in the skipped grade examination with him.

The rest five grades were different. The examination they participated in was the final examination.

Although they were in the same place, they had different purposes.

As soon as Marcus entered the hall, he waited without talking to the people around him.

Instead, Hans's eyes were fixed on him. He seemed to be eager to say something to him.

At this moment, Tristan came in. Hans had no choice but to give up this idea.

"Everyone is here. Come with me to the knight tower,"

After he finished, he turned around and left. Marcus followed him in a hurry, and the rest followed him.

When they arrived at the game hall, they saw a forest around them. Birds chirped and cicadas chirped from both sides.

Following the path paved with stone bricks, the spire of a tower appeared in front of them.

The grayish-brown knight tower came into view when they approached.

Marcus raised his head and looked at the place where they were going to enter and prepared to receive the challenge.
