Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Jia Long and the two women left the Sanctuary Dining Hall, burping contentedly.

After what happened with Aldebaran, Marin and Shaina looked at Jalon with stars in their eyes.

"Uncle Galon, I didn't know you were a good cook!"

"Who said I know anything about cooking?"

"?! Then how come you were able to give Aldebaran pointers? His cooking is so delicious, yet you found so many faults in it?"

"That's because although I don't know anything about cooking, I do understand a principle..."

"What's the point?"

"It's always easier to find fault than to do it!"

"what?"

"You two, you'd better learn something. If you want to thrive in this sacred place, you have to learn to nitpick. Hiccup~"

Back to the twin uterus.

After sending the two girls outside the palace to practice their combat skills, Jia Long enjoyed a wonderful afternoon nap.

As he said before, Jia Long is no longer someone who gets things done. As a high-ranking Gold Saint, he only needs to give an order to do whatever he wants, and countless Saints, Warriors, and candidates in the Sanctuary will rush to do it.

He can simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

This is a typical characteristic of those in positions of power. To put it bluntly, unless you're a micromanagement master, you're relatively free and have more time and energy to do big things!

With this return, Jia Long is also gradually changing his role.

The focus should shift from manual labor to intellectual labor, concentrating efforts on several major initiatives to enhance the overall strength of the Holy Land. This is the only way to better cope with the current strategically passive situation.

For example, the National Fighter School.

For example, the new generation of fighter training camp.

Now, these two things have become one: to build and train our own Silver Elite team, defeat another Silver Elite team, and leave Aiolos, the walking dogma, speechless.

This is a clash of ideologies.

It is also a struggle for the right to speak, determining whose ideas the Holy Land will follow, which is of paramount importance and can even affect the future direction of the entire land.

Therefore, Jia Long must defeat Aiolos, the mentor of the seemingly invincible Jia Long.

After lunch break.

Alex arrived at Gemini Palace with a list and a thick stack of personal documents.

"Lord Kanon, this is the preliminary list of trainees for this year's Fighter Training Camp. A total of 100 candidate Saints have entered our evaluation scope. You and Lord Aiolos need to each select 12 people from them to form two candidate Silver Saint teams for training."

Alex then briefed Jia Long on the preparations for this year's fighter training camp.

Unlike the previous session.

The focus of this session is to cultivate reserve Silver Saints, specifically those who can be quickly deployed to the front lines.

Therefore, this year's trainees are generally older and stronger, and some have even begun to awaken their cosmos, waiting only for further training before they can participate in the Silver Cloth competition.

Simply put, this training camp is not an introductory class like the previous one, but more like an advanced class. Its purpose is to make these reserve Silver Saints even stronger through the guidance of Gold Saints!

"Since the age of mythology, the Silver Saints have always been the backbone of our Sanctuary, but over the past 200 years, the overall strength of the Silver Saints has been declining, and truly strong individuals are becoming increasingly rare. The new generation of Silver Saints needs strength commensurate with the responsibilities they bear..."

As a Silver Saint, Alex used a rather subtle way of putting it.

In fact, nowadays, apart from the four elders who are the Silver Saints, and outliers like Yura and Orpheus, the rest are basically just there for show.

The backbone of the mythical era has now become the weak link in the Holy Land. If the Silver Saints do not rise up soon, they may not even be qualified to be background figures in future holy wars.

Aiolos clearly recognized this problem, which is why he decided to hold this year's Fighter Training Camp.

Jia Long also agrees with this point.

He saw things even more clearly than Aiolos. The future Bronze Saints would have the five main characters to carry the flag, and the Gold Saints would be just as good as him, Saga, Shaka, Dohko, and Aiolos. But what about the Silver Saints?

Orpheus was the only thing covering his face.

Therefore, cultivating Silver Elites is imperative. Even if Aiolos doesn't do it, Jalon will push for it to avoid a repeat of the future depicted in the comics.

"Lord Garen..."

Alex hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Lord Aiolos has been planning the new fighter training camp for three months. He personally selected almost all 100 trainees. His understanding of these trainees is far more comprehensive and in-depth than yours. I'm afraid your chances of winning this Silver Tier competition are slim..."

Even though Alex would prefer Jaron to win so that the All-People Fighter School can be implemented.

But he really didn't think highly of this Gemini Gold Saint who had always stayed away from the Sanctuary.

After all, training fighters relies on soft power and individualized instruction. This is especially true for this year's advanced class, where understanding the individual potential of each student is even more important. In this respect, Aiolos has long since left Jialong far behind.

Putting everything else aside, just in the current step of selecting formal students, Jia Long, who can only look at the students' names and information, is simply no match for Aiolos.

"Lord Galon, although time is of the essence, I think you should still gather these students together, observe them one by one, and then determine the official students for your assigned training group."

Alex offered suggestions for making amends.

However, Jia Long simply smiled slightly:

"I don't need to observe them one by one; I just need to look at their names."

"?!"

Chapter 291 Assemble! The New Generation of Saint Seiya Candidates

Alex shook his head at Jia Long's answer, but that was all he could do to help Jia Long.

"Lord Galon, Lord Aiolos has already selected 12 students he favors. Your team can choose from the remaining 88. Of course, to ensure fair competition, Lord Aiolos instructed that even among these 12 students he selected, you can transfer half of them if you have your eye on them."

"Oh?"

It must be said that Aiolos is very principled. Even Jalon had to admit that this Sagittarius Gold Saint, who gave him a headache, was not only inflexible in his thinking, but also stubborn, obstinate, inflexible, and overly rigid...

He has a good character.

Jia Long picked up the list and looked at the students selected by Aiolos with some curiosity.

"Imo?! Rigel?! Aleguni?! Perosso?! Euan?! Dio?!"

Upon seeing these familiar names, Jia Long's gaze faltered. To be honest, he had previously underestimated Aiolos's judgment, thinking that the students this blockhead had chosen must also be hopeless blockheads.

But he was wrong!

Aiolos may have some brain issues, but his vision is absolutely sharp and accurate; he truly deserves to be the archer who needs to use his eyes the most.

Of the 12 students selected by Aiolos, Jia Long didn't recognize half of them, but the other half were all well-known characters from the comics, and some of them even had the potential to become top-tier powerhouses.

For example, the boy named Ichimo is the future Silver Saint of the Southern Cross constellation and the father of Soma in the novel. He is a very upright and powerful Saint. If he had not died because of his own kindness, he would have become one of the top powerhouses in the Sanctuary.

For example, Rigel, who is the future Silver Saint of Orion, is even capable of fighting Milo head-on. If he hadn't sought death for his comrades, he would have had unlimited potential.

For example, Alegoni is the future constellation Spider, Euan is the future constellation Scutum, Perosso is the future constellation Reticulum, and Dio is the future constellation Fly...

They are all genuine Silver Saints!

Aiolos's team consists of half of the future Silver Saints that Jia Long remembers. This is not just a candidate Saint team. In terms of potential, it is much stronger than the second team of Jia Long's generation!

After all, the second tier only produced 3 silver medalists in the previous tournament.

In an instant, Jia Long felt a surge of pressure.

Alex, who was standing to the side, noticed Galon's frustration and couldn't help but remind him again, "Lord Galon, these students can be reassigned."

"unnecessary."

Jia Long shook his head. His goal this time was to shut Aiolos up completely, so he naturally didn't want to give the other party any excuse.

Moreover, among the remaining 88 trainees, there are certainly future Silver Saints.

For example, Marin and Shaina.

The two girls had great potential, but Ioros did not choose them; the conservative man had always been prejudiced against mixed-gender relationships.

For example, Agorah and Shiva.

These two boys were equally powerful and were Shaka's students, but Aiolos had no choice; he disliked these heretics who did not believe in the goddess Athena.

That already makes four future Silver tiers.

Jia Long's gaze swept across the list, and he suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

"Seth?!"

The student's name didn't seem special at first glance, but when paired with the photo, it instantly caught Jia Long's attention.

This was a handsome white-haired boy with a very cold expression, but his appearance and related information reminded Jia Long of someone.

Crystal Saint Seiya!

To be precise, he should be the Silver Saint of the Southern Corona, Camus's eldest disciple, who taught Hyoga, one of the five Bronze Saints, on behalf of his master.

An unexpected surprise!

I wonder if this young man has become Camus's apprentice yet?

However, this did not prevent Jia Long from casually including him in his own team.

"Marin, Shaina, Shiva, Agora, Set... we can form a Silver Saint Five! This lineup is definitely not inferior to Aiolos's elite team!"

Having identified the main force of his own team, Jia Long looked at the remaining trainees he had no recollection of and randomly selected seven based on his usual principle of prioritizing appearance.

At this point, Jia Long's entire trainee team has been finalized.

Upon seeing the list that Jia Long handed back, Alex glanced at it and nodded slightly when he saw Marin, Shaina, and the other four. However, when he saw the seven people Jia Long later chose, his face showed some surprise:

"Lord Galon, are you sure you want to choose them? Their strength isn't even among the most outstanding..."

"I look at potential. In my experience, good-looking people generally have good potential!"

"Uh~"

Alex was speechless. He looked around to make sure this wasn't the Pisces Palace before putting away the list and saying to Galon, "Lord Galon, due to the time constraints, the students you and Lord Aiolos have selected will gather tomorrow. Please prepare to guide them."

"So urgent? Okay."

Jia Long nodded in agreement.
