Princess Wang's appointment as the "Guide" of Bexia caused a sensation in the entire school. After all, Ophelia is the princess of the Asman Kingdom, and any member of the royal family studying at the Asman Academy is not required to take on this task assigned by the school. However, this time she voluntarily became someone else's guide, which is a very rare occurrence in the history of the entire academy.
And after this incident, Bexia's reputation spread throughout the school. Making such a big splash as a junior student, he could be considered the first at the Asman Academy.
However, all of this did not affect his normal school life, except that he was discussed by others a bit more. After a few days of adjustment, he became more thick-skinned.
A junior student's daily schedule in the academy is quite relaxed, with only three classes in the morning: Common Knowledge Theory, Magic Theory, and Practical Training. In the afternoon, there is a study time for following the "Guide," and in the evening, it's regular rest time.
At this moment, Bexia is sitting in the classroom, listening to the lecture given by a famous historian. He is talking about the continent they are located in, called the God-blessed Continent. Across the sea, there is another continent called the God-crying Continent, but that land became uninhabitable after an unprecedented war in ancient times, so it was abandoned.
The God-blessed Continent where they are situated is widely distributed and has five countries: the Lopez Empire, the Celtic Empire, the Anzu Kingdom, the Yaro Kingdom, and our Asman Kingdom.
The two empires occupy the entire northern region of the continent, while our country and the Yaro Kingdom occupy the southern region. The two empires have always been in a state of war, and in order to fend off their attacks, our three kingdoms formed an "Alliance Pact" to collectively resist their advances.
"Teacher, may I ask where the Anzu Kingdom is?" Bexia asked, puzzled.
"Don't worry, I will get to that next," the old professor said kindly, smiling at him.
"The Anzu Kingdom is located in the southern sea area, with a chain of islands where their country is established."
"That was a good question from that student. I think many of you don't know much about the Anzu Kingdom, so for this class, I will focus on the history of the Anzu Kingdom!"
"The history of the Anzu Kingdom dates back a very long time. Their ancestors are said to be servants of the dragon gods from ancient times. Their ruling method is completely different from ours and the other countries. They are a religious state, where everyone in the country worships the dragon gods. Similarly, the true control of the country is also with the religion..."
"This church might also be known to some people. It's called the 'Dragon God Church.' There is a shrine outside our capital city that worships the ancient deity, the dragon god. It's very convenient to visit if anyone wants to go."
"Furthermore, we also have a priestess from the Dragon God Church studying in our academy, and I think many of you might know who she is!"
The old professor smiled but didn't say anything. Bexia naturally thought of Long Mo Mo because he had been to that shrine before. However, it was a bit rundown and had little worship. Added to that, Long Mo Mo herself was lazy and didn't bother to find a job, so she led a "poor" life as a shrine priestess!
If it weren't for the free food and accommodation provided by the academy, Long Mo Mo would probably starve.
"But don't underestimate the Anzu Kingdom. Although their territory is not large, their military strength is very powerful. They also possess the ancient technique of the gnome race's magical cannons, which have a tremendous destructive power. Over a hundred years ago, the Lopez Empire suffered heavy losses from the magical cannons, with an army of two hundred thousand annihilated in one fell swoop!"
"Moreover, the Anzu Kingdom is located in the sea area, and they have a large number of magical cannons as defenses. It is almost impossible to invade them!"
"And most importantly, the Anzu Kingdom has the blessing of the dragon gods. The entire country is enveloped in the 'Dragon God Barrier,' which even forbidden level spells cannot break through!"
"Teacher, are you exaggerating a bit? How is it possible for a defense to withstand even forbidden level magic?" Bexia asked, skeptical.
"Although I don't fully believe it myself, this is the truth!"The old professor calmly explained, "After the Lopez Empire suffered losses in the magic cannon, they prepared to retaliate by directly using a forbidden-level magic scroll to attack the Anzu Kingdom. However, the result was completely unexpected. The forbidden-level magic was quickly blocked by a barrier. I even saw the recorded video of the incident. At the time, I couldn't believe my own eyes, but it was the truth."
"But luckily, the Anzu Kingdom did not have any ambitions for expansion, otherwise our Asman Kingdom would not have been so peaceful!"
"If you want more details, you can go to the library and look for historical books yourself. I won't go into too much detail here!"
Afterward, the old professor talked about the special culture and customs of the Anzu Kingdom, and the class ended like that.
Actually, this kind of lesson was very boring, and many people were falling asleep while listening. Only "newbies" like Bexia, who knew nothing, listened so attentively.
The next class was a difficult and abstract magic theory lesson, followed by a combat training class. That was the end of today's classes. And since Ophelia was busy with her own affairs in the afternoon, Bexia didn't need to study with her. In other words, he had a rare afternoon of free time.
However, even though he finally had some time to himself, Bexia didn't know what to do. Besides being somewhat familiar with the Asman Academy, he didn't know anything about other places in the capital city. Going out would probably result in getting lost.
"Bexia, do you have free time this afternoon? How about accompanying me to wander around the capital city?" The person who spoke was the blue-haired boy, Kaito, who was previously punished by the twelve advanced junior students for being the first one to act. Like Bexia, he was also a commoner, but he didn't have the same luck as Bexia to have a princess as a private tutor. His father was just an ordinary craftsman, and his admission to the academy was purely based on his own efforts.
The two of them were roommates now. When Bexia first saw him, he was slightly surprised, but later found out that it was because Kaito had been taken for medical treatment and hadn't been assigned a room. In the end, there was only one bed left in Bexia's room, so they became roommates.
