Chapter 177 - Things That Can Not Be Mentioned

“Hey, isn’t that Claire from the Subdued Beast Department?” Klein said with a smile. “Recently, she’s been very popular. People have been confessing to her all the time.”

It had to be said that Claire was indeed very beautiful. Her brows and eyes were exquisite, and her pale green eyes were like bright emeralds. Her eyelashes fluttered lightly twice, and her every move was soul-stirring.

In addition, her figure was not bad either. Her slim-fitting clothes complemented her graceful figure. Just by standing there, it was a beautiful scene.

Kate snorted coldly. “What’s the big deal? In terms of looks, Audrey is the most beautiful.”

Klein raised his eyebrows. “That’s natural. It’s just that our Miss Audrey’s temper is really too bad. If she were a more gentle and graceful, perhaps her popularity would be even higher than hers.”

Audrey rolled her eyes at him.

At that moment, a group of people had gathered around them. They began to surround Klein and ask about his well-being.

This also caused Audrey and the others, who were particularly close to Klein, to be squeezed into the crowd.

Audrey used all her strength to squeeze out of the sea of people. When she saw Klein, who was directly submerged, she sighed helplessly.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?”

Kate carefully protected her behind him to prevent the people around her from touching her, he explained, “You probably don’t know this, right? Klein and the others are very famous existences in the Templar Knights. In addition, they are in charge of the placement test for the seniors, so naturally, there will be people who will run over to get close to them and make them show mercy to them.”

Audrey laughed dryly as she thought to herself since it’s already such an important matter like the class placement test, why would there still be people like them who want to use the back door?

If they really managed to get into the advanced class by taking advantage of opportunities, they would be under a lot of pressure because they could not keep up with their academic progress.

She really did not know what those people were thinking.

“Let me tell you. According to the latest news I’ve received, this year’s placement test seems to be different. In the past, it allowed everyone to be together, but now, the rules have been changed,” Kate said.

“Changed to what?” Audrey looked up at him, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Logically speaking, since the rules have been in place for such a long time, it shouldn’t be easy to change them. Could it be that something big has happened?”

Kate could not help but laugh. “Audrey, sometimes I really think that your intuition is too sharp.”

Audrey smiled as she listened to Kate’s explanation.

“It’s mainly because there seems to be someone in the upper echelons of the Templar Knights plotting to usurp the throne. The king’s faction is also very unstable. Furthermore, the king is also worried about this matter, so the internal control of the Templar Knights has naturally slipped out of control.

“It’s not clear who suggested this change in the rules. In any case, it seems to have been split into two factions. The situation is much more complicated than we imagined.”

Audrey frowned slightly. Could it be that the two factions had already begun to have differences?

“However, I’ve only heard about these things from hearsay. There doesn’t seem to be any real evidence, and it has nothing to do with us. We only need to know about this matter. There’s no need to take it to heart,” Kate advised.

Audrey agreed.

After all, the word ‘king’ was still too far away for them. All they needed to do was obediently accept the order and properly obtain their own glory in the Templar Knights.

“Then, since the rules have been changed, what should we do when no one from the magic faculty is willing to fight?” Audrey asked.

Ross, who had finally squeezed her way out of the crowd, heard Audrey’s question the moment he reached her side.

His expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Audrey’s wrist. “Don’t mention the word ‘mage’ here, or you’ll attract fire.”

Audrey and Kate were both puzzled.

“You two have just arrived, so you might not know what’s going on here. The Magic Faculty was disqualified by the school decades ago, so we don’t know what’s going on here. However, the word ‘mage’ is a taboo in the school.”

“Why?” Audrey did not understand. After all, the power of mages was obvious to everyone. Why would the Templar Knights have such thoughts?

Ross sighed softly.

“Because there was a big incident in the Templar Knights. A long time ago, there was a Grand Magister here. At that time, magic was very popular, but that Grand Magister went mad for some unknown reason. He brought his students and tried to kill everyone in the Templar Knights. In the end, he invited the legendary battle king to stop this tragedy from happening.”

Audrey’s eyes trembled slightly.

After all, in the process of cultivating magic, it was linked to spiritual power. The higher one’s realm was, the weaker one’s spiritual power would be. As a result, it was easy for one’s spiritual power to go astray.

However, this kind of… massacre of the people around them due to Qi deviation was indeed very rare. It could be said to be a tragedy in the human world.

“How can this…” Kate pondered for a long time.
