Chapter 1482: Chapter 454 S-Class Trial Evaluation, Generous Rewards Chapter 1482: Chapter 454 S-Class Trial Evaluation, Generous Rewards This day,

at the foot of the Teta Mountain Range, various luxurious carriages stopped in front of the Ariel Royal Academy.

Today was the day of school enrollment, and young nobles from various territories of the Southern Continent arrived at the academy one after another.

Right on time,

a carriage pulled by a Grumble Beast stopped at the entrance of the academy.

Young Master Sack stepped down from the carriage.

Following behind the convoy, Leonard Churchill and a group of squire knights also closely followed, dressed in shiny new armor and robes, holding aloft the Landon Family’s Purple Dragon Cross Flag.

Such a traveling spectacle would have undoubtedly caused a commotion in any other city.

But here, at the entrance, such scenes of escorted young masters and misses heading to school were commonplace.

Today was the first day of school life for the new students of the Royal Academy, as well as the day these young nobles began their academy life.

The students were all quite young, around thirteen or fourteen, and their luxurious attire along with their family crests highlighted their extraordinary status.

The nobles of the Southern Continent were numerous and complex, but the hierarchy was very clear.

Leonard Churchill had a detailed understanding of the noble emblems of the Southern Continent.

The details on the emblem revealed everything – direct line, collateral, which offspring… every detail was meticulously marked on the emblem.

With just a glance, Leonard identified many of the students’ identities.

Prince Roy of the Black Dragon Kingdom, the seventy-third prince, Princess Sofia of the Red Dragon Kingdom, Prince Sike of the Silver Dragon Royal Family, the seventeenth princess of the Raphael Ducal House, the direct grandson ranked twentieth in the Frost Mountain Ducal House…

Top nobles that were rarely seen on regular days were everywhere here.

The empire was large, but the social circle of the noble class was quite small.

Many of the lower-ranking nobles already knew each other.

After Sack got off the carriage, he ran into several acquaintances and started chatting as he walked.

“Hey, Sack, I heard you were assassinated? What happened…”

“A minor issue. Just some fools that don’t know any better.”

“Have you guys heard about the ‘Curse God Card’? I’ve heard that a few guys at the academy were lucky enough to get one. They say that thing can use spells indefinitely… hey, do you really think it’s that miraculous?”

“Didn’t Eke just find out this year that he has a very high blue-green blood purity? Is he coming to the academy this year? Why haven’t I seen him?”

“Heh heh, I heard the poor sod went hunting and broke his leg; he’s resting at home now…”

“Hey, I don’t know why, but I heard there are a lot of bounties on the Black Market targeting Royal Academy students…”

“I bet it’s some ambitious folks stirring up trouble again. The Holy See recently issued an expansion act, and a lot of fallen nobles are showing their faces… Or it might be the Rebel Dragon Army. I just feel like, recently, there’s more chaos among the various territories.”

“Wasn’t it said that the main force of the Rebel Dragon Army fled to the Old Continent…”

“Who knows… hey, have you heard? There’s been troublemakers in some remote places up north, with heretics called ‘Vampires’. The Holy See has even organized a crusade…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill just followed in line.

While walking, he also pricked up his ears to listen to the young lords’ idle chatter.

These young masters and misses all had their own family information networks and often knew a lot of news that couldn’t be found through other channels.

Squire knights like Leonard Churchill, every noble brought a few along.

The higher the title, the more they brought.

Hence, the academy also recruited quite a few people every year.

The group made their way into the academy in this manner.

…

The Ariel Royal Academy was built on a mountain, with its back against the majestic Titan Mountains.

At the foot of the mountain was a shade of green trees, with white Gothic-style dome buildings mostly hidden in the forest.

The style here was similar to Giant Spirit City, with various large buildings everywhere.

There was a wide avenue leading to the depths of the academy.

On both sides were neatly pruned magic gardens where various kinds of exotic plants grew, rarely seen in the outside world.

Some leaves were like Wind Chimes, swaying gently in the wind, making pleasant chimes; some flowers would bloom at specific times, releasing invigorating fragrances; and there were also living vines, which belonged to some tree spirits…

Leonard Churchill looked on and marveled in his heart.

It truly was a magical world.

After walking a bit, towering hundred-meter-tall statues of human knights could be seen on both sides of the road.

And at a distance, a massive building with stained glass windows came into view.

That was the library of the Royal Academy.

The most magnificent building in the entire academy.

In front of the library was a square the size of several football fields, with a huge white stone statue standing in the middle, carved in the form of a hundred-meter-tall, three-headed evil dragon.

Leonard Churchill had heard about the magical Dragon God statue in the academy before coming.

But when he saw the sculpture of the three-headed evil dragon for the first time, he was still shocked: “The statue actually has such an exaggerated Dragon’s Might…”

The artistic content of the statue was very high, and the craftsmanship was incredibly exquisite.

The entire statue was lifelike, giving the impression it was not an inanimate object but a Great Dragon that had been petrified.

The dragon’s eyes contained disdain, as if looking down on all living creatures as a Supreme being.

Majesty, Brutality, Power, Cunning…

The characteristics of the Great Dragon were vividly portrayed on the sculpture.

At first sight, it gave Leonard Churchill a strong visual impact and a profound shock to the heart.

This statue was not sculpted at random.

But instead, it depicted that being with many titles like ‘The Colossus of Despair and Eternity’, ‘The Lord of the Divine Country of Oblivion’, ‘The Creator of all Dragon Clan’, ‘The Shaper of Dragon Civilization’… and so on – the Dragon God, Airel!

The most supreme existence of the Ariel Empire!
