Chapter 154: Lion of Revenge
Just like Woos said, as long as they could win, the people from Cato Academy didnt care whether they won in an honorable way or not. They would do anything as long as they could win! So Cato Academy was a terrifying hidden enemy and Loran Academy had to stay alert. This was also why Caesar didnt approve of Rosie participating.
Rosie was the weakest one among them, she was also a frail magician, she also couldnt use chantless instant cast to protect herself like Lin Xiao could, so it would problematic if suddenly attacked.
If they were ambushed by Cato Academy, then Rosie would definitely become their primary target! If she came into danger, then her entire team will fall with her.
Being ambushed
Hearing Woos explain that, Lin Xiao wasnt worried about Rosie, but he looked next to him at his maid.
Noticing his gaze, Elena paused, then disdainfully curled her lips. Then continued to adopt her graceful and cold posture, looking out the window.
Lin Xiao didnt need to worry about Elena, she had the magic radar, so no one could ambush her easily.
As for the last one you have to watch out for, and also the strongest one, the previous champion team, Heino Kingdom, Heino Academy.
Eh? Theyre both called Heino then, is Heino Academy related to royalty? Shen DaiYing asked curiously.
Of course hm? Hearing her question, Woos was just about to respond, but suddenly stopped and went quiet.
He took a long look at Shen DaiYing, seeing her innocent and naive eyes, he couldnt help but have a sliver of doubt.
Shen DaiYing was the princess of Great Qin Empire, she traveled far to a foreign land. Did she not do any homework and not know even this common knowledge? Furthermore, there should be people she knows with the Heino Kingdom royalty, so she should be very clear about it
If it was that brat Lin Xiao asking these kinds of stupid questions, then he could understand, but Shen DaiYing was also acting stupid and it was like she was pretending she didnt know anything.
But he didnt delve into it and continued to explain.
Thats right. Heino Academy was started by Heino Kingdom.
Even though most magic academies cooperate with the army and local government, theyre still privately-run.
Take Loran Academy for example, although theyve received subsidy from Lombard Kingdom, theyre still a privately-run academy. Unlike Heino Academy, where theyre run and funded by the royals, a true state-run academy.
State-run had its own benefits.
Although Heino Kingdom had a long history and was well known, they inevitably have a lot of policy obstructions as they develop. Whereas Heino Academy was completely different, they were funded directly from the state treasury so they could hire the best teachers, build the best schools, and teach the best students!
Caesar, dont believe yourself to be invincible just because youre a magic swordsman. There are indeed almost no opponents this time that can defeat you, your strength undoubtedly is telling of that but, you definitely cant get careless with Heino Academy! Woos repeatedly warned.
Even Woos couldnt investigate all the details regarding the four Heino Academy participants. He knew of two of the four
Theres someone called Devoru that you guys have to be especially careful of, his nickname is Golden Lion.
Golden Lion? An image of a strongly built man covered in long blond hair appeared in Lin Xiaos mind.
But he was wrong.
According to Woos, he wasnt nicknamed so because he was blond, he also wasnt strongly built, contrary, he was around 20 and was a handsome youth.
The reason for his nickname was because of his skill, Holy Golden Spear.
Holy Spear? Is he related to the church?
This time he was right.
The reason that technique had Holy in it was because he was related to the church, or rather, because he was once part of the church.
Devoru joined the church when he was young and quickly obtained the opportunity for the Saint Selection. He received the Popes baptism and became a Saint candidate, originally, as long as he stayed in the church, he would have successfully became a Saint within a couple of years, just like Snow Saintess in Winterless City. However, he left the church last year. Woos explained.
Lin Xiao and them might not have known, but Woos knew it well, when he decided to leave the church, it caused a huge disturbance in Heino Kingdom.
The Holy Light church originally lacked influence in Heino Kingdom, they met a lot of obstacles, so Great Sage Bellco made efforts to keep Devoru and planned to use his strength and influence to expand into Heino Kingdom.
But he left. Okay, then leave, who cares?
What made Bellco more depressed afterwards was him transferring into Heino Academy not even one month after leaving and becoming a royal attendant, aka dog, aka slave servant, everyone was taken aback.
You didnt want to be a high and mighty Saint, and went to work for someone else, arent you just degrading yourself?
Some suspected that there was a conflict between Heino Kingdom and the church, so the royalty dug him out from the church. Others suspected that he was humiliated and now hates the church and plans to borrow the kingdoms power to exact revenge!
