Du Chen was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the Academy of fighter Gods run by the Holy Church?"
"Yes, it is run by the Holy Church, but the dean of the Academy of Fighter Gods is on the same level as the Pope, and we have no authority over them! And..." Mars suddenly slapped himself twice, "I can't keep my mouth shut. Kid, you haven't gained my complete trust yet, so I can't tell you too many secrets! In short, go to the Academy of fighter Gods and regularly report any strange things you see or hear to the people from our Law Enforcement Temple. Will you do it?"
Isn't this just being a spy?
Being a spy is a highly dangerous job...
Just as Du Chen was thinking about this, Mars continued, "You don't have any Dou qi, right? Then you definitely won't be able to pass the mid-term and final exams at the Academy of Fighter Gods. You will be expelled in no time. But as long as you help me, I will help you pass every exam!"
Du Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Although the Academy of fihter Gods and the Holy Church are not on good terms, they are still in cahoots. Even if they catch you, as long as you haven't done anything too outrageous, at most they will just expel you!"
Trading intelligence for passing every exam.
This deal isn't bad! "Alright, I agree. How do I do it specifically?"
Mars didn't say much. He took out a sheepskin scroll from his pocket and threw it onto the table, saying, "After you enter the academy, someone from the Law Enforcement Temple will find you. You have nothing to do today, but I will find you when there's something. Here, this is your exam transcript. Fill in as many points as you want!"
Du Chen picked up a quill from the table and casually wrote a perfect score, then handed it to Mars. "By the way,What should I call you now?"
"Just call me Boss. That's what people from the Law Enforcement Temple call me!"
After discussing some trivial matters and details of disaster relief, Du Chen walked out of the cathedral.
There were already many examinees outside, and they hadn't dispersed yet because the efficiency of the Holy Church was very high. It wouldn't take long for the exam results to be released, so they were all waiting outside the cathedral square.
Steve was also waiting in the square, with Aliza by his side. When he saw Du Chen come out, Steve shouted, "Hey, Francis, over here!"
"What did the examiners ask you? Why did it take so long?" Steve casually asked.
Your little brother became a member of the fighter God Guards in the world of fighter gods!
This sentence was said by Du Chen in his heart. Just now, Mars explained to him that the Law Enforcement Temple is one of the secret chambers of the Holy Church, and its members are all confidential to the Church. They cannot casually leak information, so Du Chen vaguely fabricated a few questions to get through. Then he asked, "Has my second brother come out yet?"
"He came out early!" Steve laughed, "That kid said he's definitely passed and doesn't need to wait for the scores, so he went home."
Du Chen smiled and looked back at the St. John's Cathedral bathed in the sunset. After more than ten days of exams, it finally ended. He didn't expect that he would successfully enter the academy with the help of the examiners.
Perhaps his guardian fighter god is also surprised now? He gave him a necklace for protection, but it was never used.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
In any case, he could finally leave the St. Kain Manor and never have to see the cold face of Duke Angus again!
Soon after, a large list was suspended in the air above St. John's Cathedral, which was the exam results. As expected, Du Chen got full marks in two subjects and 66 points in another, ranking 37th in total score. He must have passed.
Steve was also within the top hundred, and Charlie, unexpectedly, was the first in the Lanning examination area!
Du Chen couldn't help but sigh. His arrogant second brother indeed had the capital to be arrogant!
"You passed!?"
On the square in front of St. Kain Manor, Angus was preparing to welcome his eldest son's success in the exams, but he didn't expect to receive a shocking piece of news.
Francis, with unparalleled "luck," actually got into the Academy of Martial Gods, and his grades were even better than Steve's!
Du Chen smiled faintly, glanced at the statue of Siglu, and said, "Yes, I didn't embarrass our ancestors, did I? So, dear father, you asked me a few days ago if I wanted to establish my own household. Now I'll give you the answer. Yes, I want to move out!"
Hmph, so what if he passed the exams? Without Dou qi, he would be expelled sooner or later, becoming a disgrace to the St. Kain family!
Angus coldly said, "Fine, you can move out, but I won't give you any help!"
"Thank you, I don't need your help either!" Du Chen sneered.
Ancestors, how should the relationship between my younger brother and father be repaired!? Steve sighed helplessly and advised, "Father, the third brother has already..."
"Big brother, there's no need to say anything!" Du Chen shrugged indifferently and strode into the St. Kain Manor.
He is Du Chen, not Francis. The orphan from his previous life wanted to experience the feeling of having a family, but unfortunately, even after two months, the St. Kain Manor still felt so unfamiliar!
The cold father, the arrogant second brother, the strange-eyed servants... Let them go to hell!
Oh, big brother, Old Fuye, and Aliza, they are still his own family!
Half a month later, the overall rankings for the five major examination areas of the Academy of Fighter Gods were announced. Du Chen ranked 120th, which was a surprisingly high score considering that only 3,000 people were admitted in total.
In comparison, Steve's grades were slightly lower, but enough. As he put it, "It doesn't matter how high the score is, passing is enough!"
Charlie ranked second overall. He was unhappy for a long time because rumors spread that a little girl, only fifteen years old, ranked first in the five major examination areas and scored full marks in all subjects! This made Charlie indignant, and he boasted that he would compete with that girl after entering the academy!
During this period, Du Chen "borrowed" some money from the nobles on the street and built a small villa in the slums of the South City. Aliza and Old Foye also moved out with him. Big brother Steve, with nothing to do, also stayed in Du Chen's small villa. Although he said it was for "exploring the beauty resources of the South City," Du Chen understood that his big brother was concerned about his safety. After all, Minister of Rites Wideno and his family had already become enemies.
Unlike the St. Kain Manor, people in the South City looked at baron Francis with enthusiastic eyes. Virtue was spoken of, and honor was praised. This feeling was so refreshing!
Of course, the most important thing was that Du Chen now had good deeds to do every day!
Now, the lotus flower on his buttocks was on the verge of blooming for the third time. According to the hexagram, the Eight Trigrams Lotus Flower was about to bloom the first hexagram. Du Chen was extremely looking forward to what benefits would come from the complete opening of the "The Lotus Flower Mirror"!
In this anticipation, Du Chen welcomed the day to report to the Academy of Fighter Gods.
Early in the morning, Steve dragged Du Chen to the statue in front of the St. Kain Manor.
Angus was waiting there, ready to bid farewell. When he saw his two sons approaching, he calmly said, "Steve, are you and Francis leaving early, without waiting for Charlie?"
"Yes, Dad. The Holy Church allocated a large sum of money from the charity fund for the third brother. I will accompany him to help the disaster victims first, without waiting for the second brother!"
"Well, I heard about it. The glory of Father Ferdinand is with us. Steve, bring more guards to avoid encountering bandits on the road!" Angus advised Steve a few words, completely ignoring Du Chen.
Du Chen also ignored Angus with a cold face.
The family symbolically drank a farewell toast, and Angus went back.
Staring at his retreating figure, Du Chen sneered, "Let's go, big brother. Let's pack up and get ready to leave!"
Steve didn't move. Instead, he looked at Du Chen affectionately.
"Oh, my big brother, why haven't you left yet? Are you reluctant to leave the ladies in St. John City?!"
Steve smiled playfully and shook his head, saying, "My little brother, it's not that I can't bear to leave others, but someone can't bear to let you go. Look, who came to see us off?"
Du Chen turned around and suddenly felt his vision go black.
Oh my god, how did Avril come here?! And Princess Yuna is with her too!
