Chapter 205: Chapter 102: After the War_1

A group of elderly and middle-aged individuals stood side by side. At this moment, they all seemed extremely silent.

Behind them were dozens of young people, each with tears welled up in their eyes. They unified in action, kneeling on one knee with their right fist against their chest, facing the enormous screen formed by magic in front of them.

The silence lasted for a good ten minutes. When the light on the screen disappeared entirely, Yu Yunqiong looked at Dean Zhou Shuixi next to him, "Dean..."

Zhou Shuixi waved his hand, a complicated look in his eyes, "Very good. It’s an honor for our Spirit Furnace Academy to have such students. It’s our true glory. They didn’t disgrace our academy. They genuinely learned about the spirit of sacrifice. Knight Captain, are you satisfied with this answer?" As he said this, he turned to look at the sturdy middle-aged man with a head of white hair standing next to him.

The middle-aged man, with a gaze that belied his years, said in a grave, sparing tone, "Acceptable!"

Zhou Shuixi knew him well. For him to say that much was already the greatest of praises.

"The results of the assessment are out. We can finish now," Zhou Shuixi told Yu Yunqiong.

"Alright," nodded Yu Yunqiong before turning to leave.

Yan Yao, who stood at the edge of the group, had reddened eyes. Seeing him leave, she hastily followed.

Only when they were far away from the crowd did the tears in Yan Yao’s eyes slightly recede. She whispered, "Did they guess something?"

Yu Yunqiong immediately made a shushing gesture, "Whether they did or not, it does not matter. Understand? This matter of theirs is highly important."

Seeming to understand something, Yan Yao tensed up and quickly nodded in agreement.

But Yu Yunqiong curiously asked, "Why would you think so?"

Yan Yao replied, "It’s not normal for someone who fears death suddenly to face it so calmly, is it?"

Yu Yunqiong laughed immediately and patted her head, "Oh, so my little girl is finally growing smart."

Yan Yao swatted his hand away, "Are you saying I was stupid before?"

Yu Yunqiong laughed, "I didn’t say that. It’s just that someone was once nicknamed the Reckless Female Knight, or am I mistaken?"

...

The wilderness.

Zisang Liuying gradually awoke from her unconsciousness. With the help of Cai Caijuan, she stood up and looked at the widening valley ahead, tears streaming down her face.

"Light’s Praise. She used Light’s Praise. She incinerated their bodies. Is this how she intends to beat us too? Enough," Cai Caijuan sobbed out.

Zisang Liuying didn’t say anything. She just stood there silently, crying. At this moment, she knew that she would probably never beat her in this lifetime.

The spirit furnace platoon regrouped, gathering around Zisang Liuying.

From the beginning of this mission, this captain had shown strong control of the battlefield and guided everyone through with her superior strength. But in the end, when everything seemed impossible to continue, the vice-captain stepped forward. She put them through a scene they found incredibly shocking.

Zisang Liuying took a deep breath, trying her hardest to control her emotions. As she prepared to command a return to the camp, she noticed faint light spots appearing on her body. Not just her, everyone else too had golden light spots appearing on their bodies. As the spots surrounded their bodies, they gradually disappeared.

Until everything in front of her turned blank, nobody knew what had happened.

It appeared to have lasted only an instant. The next moment, their surroundings once again became clear.

This was a massive hall. Dazzling magic runes were on the ground, each one emitting a brilliant light and intense elements fluctuations.

"What is... what happened?" Everyone looked bewildered.

Suddenly, a scream rang out, "Look! What is that?"

The scream came from Cai Caijuan. Zisang Liuying looked at her, surprised, then followed her gaze.

Not far off were three individuals laying on the ground. They were obviously unconscious and looked extremely unwell. One even convulsed every now and then. But there they were, very much alive.

Everyone’s eyes widened. At that moment, the huge doors on the side of the hall slowly opened.

School Director Yu Yunqiong, with the head teachers of each grade and class, walked in. The forty or so students previously declared dead were with them.

"This... was it all a simulation?" Cai Caijuan gaped.

Reality proving what the previous assessment was – clearly, it wasn’t real combat. Like their previous encounter with the demon tribe, it was a battlefield simulation.

Thus, nobody really died on that battlefield. Even if someone used a Forbidden Spell.

That’s why those three people could still lay there, alive, instead of meeting their end for real.

Yu Yunqiong slowly approached them. He looked at their confused faces, some even revealing a hint of resentment in their eyes.
