The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 441 - Liven Academy

In Eternal Empire...

Bryan, Lumilia, and Lynn finished their training with Bargan. They entered the Liven Academy with Aleaʼs help. Alea was the princess of the elven country and it was easy for her to arrange three people in Liven Academy, one of the greatest schools in this country.

Bryan has entered the brawler department. Lumilia has entered the mage department and Lynn entered the support department.

Itʼs been a week since theyʼve entered this academy and theyʼve focused their attention on learning something good. Lumilia was keeping a tight leash on Bryan afraid of him causing trouble in this place. After all, Alea warned them not to cause too much trouble, especially to the noble elves.

She said that she would be placed in a tight spot if they offended those people as she was the one who got them here in the academy so Alea will be responsible for their actions.

Currently, the three were having a lunch in the cafeteria.

”Bryan, did you remember my words?” Lumilia asked Bryan with a serious expression.

”Of course, class rep. I didnʼt cause any trouble. I just slept in my class and did nothing.” Bryan said as he raised both of his hands with an innocent look on his face. It was as if he didnʼt do anything wrong.

Lumilia sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose when she heard Bryanʼs words. This man was a huge headache. The only thing that she could count on Bryan was his high-level combat prowess.

Bryanʼs instinct and battle sense were high that it even put those veterans into shame.

”Ehe, what can you expect, Mila?” Lynn giggled as she covered her mouth with her hand.

Lynn smiled and she ignored Bryan as she turned her attention to her friend. ”Lynn, what about you? How are you doing in your department?” She asked.

”Iʼm doing fine. My seniors are kind and they are willing to teach me if I donʼt understand the lesson.” Lynn placed her index finger on her lips and slightly tilted her head.

”Iʼm doing well too. Itʼs fine to do things the way you like just donʼt create too much trouble for Alea. It will impact her reputation.” Lumilia said to the two of them. She suddenly remembered something.

”Oh, right. I remember that there will be interaction from all departments later after lunch. I think that the departments would compete and will create a friendly test.” She said.

Suddenly, she heard a voice behind.

”Right, there will be a friendly game between departments later so the three of you should do your best.”

Lumilia, Lynn, and Bryan turned their heads and they saw that it was Princess Alea. Lumilia and Lynn stood up and they tugged Bryan before greeting Alea.

”Good afternoon, Princess Aleaphine!!” Lumilia and Lynn said.

”How are you, princess? You just disappear last time after bringing us to this place.” Bryan said.

”Bryan, be careful. Thereʼs a lot of people that are watching us.” Lumilia said to Bryan.

”Huh? I didnʼt do anything wrong. I just ask her.” Bryan replied to Lumilia.

”Itʼs fine,” Alea said as she waved her hand. She didnʼt care about that at all since she treated them as her friends. ”I prefer if you treat me as your friend, one of your own.”

”See...” Bryan said as he opened both of his arms.

Lumilia couldnʼt do anything but sighed. Since Alea said it herself, she could only accept it but that would bring a lot of jealousy to the people who wanted to grow closer to the princess.

She was a noble herself and she knew that connections were important for nobles especially the connections with the royal family. It was very important to any kingdoms or empires.

”I only came here to tell you that itʼs fine for all of you to go all out in the friendly test. You shouldnʼt stay low and you know that you couldnʼt avoid it.” Alea said as she glanced at Lumilia.

Lumilia nodded as she furrowed her brows. She understood that they couldnʼt avoid it. The moment that they entered this Academy, they already gathered everyoneʼs attention because they were brought by the princess herself.

Most of the students of this academy knew that they have the princessʼs backing. A lot of people wanted to befriend them and the same could be said for the people who watched them warily.

Alea smiled as she patted Lumiliaʼs back. ”Just donʼt think much about it. You can do anything you want as long as itʼs within the rules. That way you have my word that I will support all of you.”

After saying those words, she left the cafeteria.

Lumilia and Lynn simply watched her back.

”She didnʼt even answer my question,” Bryan said with a sigh and he went back to eating his lunch.

...

After lunch, all the first-year and second-year students were called into the arena of the academy. The arena was huge that it could house hundreds of thousands of people at the same time.

The friendly test was an event where the students could interact with students from other departments. It was a social event with a bit of battle.

Lumilia, Bryan, and Lynn were second-year students and they werenʼt familiar with the acedemyʼs event. They were with their department members chatting with their juniors and seniors.

The game started with first-year students. The first-year students divided themselves into different groups. Each group shouldʼve at least five members and they could have a maximum of ten members in their group. After they grouped themselves, the leader of each group took out a paper from a huge jar. There was one word written on each paper, it was either ”Offense” or ”Defense”.

The offense group would have one of their representatives attack the members of the defense group. Each member of the offense group could only have five opportunities to attack and each member of the defense group have five opportunities to defend.

The offense group couldnʼt attack those defense groups who used up all five tries.

Lumilia, Bryan, and Lynn watched the game. The second-year students were next after the first year finished the game.

Lynn wasnʼt going to participate in this game. Sheʼs not the only one as everyone in the support department wasnʼt going to enter this game. Their job was to heal everyone who got injured in the game.

After one hour, the first-year students have finished the game. They all used up their five tries and the support department began to heal those people who suffered injuries.

Next was the most awaited second-year students. The third-year students werenʼt included in this game. They were just watching the event on their seat with interest in their eyes.

Lumilia, Bryan, and Lynn went to their own department. They joined different groups and most of them welcomed them despite not knowing their strength. After all, it was to curry the princessʼs favor as they knew that the princess was watching this event on the third yearʼs seat.

Bryanʼs team was on the defense group. His team had ten members and each member had five tries to defend against the one who wanted to attack them. If they wanted to have a high score, then they had to perfectly defeat all the people that wanted to attack them until they used up all of their tries.

The one group that has the advantage here was the offense group. The offense group could choose their opponents while the defense group could only fight the one who challenge them. So if an offense team wanted to perfectly used their attack then they will simply use it on weaker teams.

Lynn simply watched the game from the sideline with a calm expression. She knew how strong Bryan and Lumilia so she wasnʼt worried about them at all. In fact, she was worried about the people whoʼs going to choose Bryan as their opponent.

Bryanʼs improvement in this past month was fearsome. He holds powerful brute strength and has a large amount of mana in his body. The most fearsome was his battle instinct. He could adapt to his opponentʼs movement easily.

Lumilia sat on the side and several barriers formed around the field. It was to prevent them from causing too much damage. Soon, sounds of fighting erupted in every direction.

”Itʼs much more chaotic than the first years.”

Screams, the boom of a collision, and the sounds of an explosion were everywhere. Those in charge didnʼt bother to interfere until one surrender or lost the ability to fight back.

The fight dragged on breaking the peace of the area and Lumilia moved her eyes trying to find Bryan among the masses. Soon, she found as a lot of people were paying attention to him.

One of the second-year students went in front of Bryan and said that he wanted to use one of his five attacks on Bryanʼs team. This second year was quite powerful but he was also not the strongest.

Bryan looked at this man before he turned to his team members and said, ”This one is weak I donʼt want to lose one of my opportunities to fight against such weaklings so you should handle him.”
