My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

Kouta asked curiously, "Is Miss Eileen also studying at the Royal Knight Academy?"

"Hmph, who's in the same academy as you? I'm at the Royal Academy of Altona, right next to the Royal Knights Academy."

"Altona Royal Academy?"

President Abel said, "This is a school that trains noble ladies in literature, art, music, and other subjects."

"I see." Kouta nodded.

After finishing his meal, Kouta asked to go for a walk.

When President Abel heard this, he wanted to ask Irene to accompany him, but the maid said that the young lady had locked the door and wouldn't open it.

President Abel sighed helplessly, then sent a male servant to accompany him.

Kouta went out for a casual stroll and returned in the evening.

President Abel was away that evening, so he and Irene had dinner together.

This time, however, Kouta didn't say a word the whole time.

Just pretend you're a naive virgin who's never been in a relationship, and stay silent.

However, Eileen seemed eager to talk to him and tried to start a conversation several times, but he nipped it in the bud with his invincible chat killers, "oh" and "um".

Just kidding. It's already exhausting to appease Hui in her mind, who has the energy to care about other women?

After dinner, Eileen glared at him and then went upstairs to her room.

Kouta feigned surprise and managed to get away with it.

The second day passed in a flash, and the third day arrived.

His admission notice to the Royal Knights Academy finally arrived, and he could finally enter the most mysterious and largest area of ​​the inner city, the Royal City.

Chapter 503 Enrollment

early morning.

In the quiet inner city streets, the morning light has already pierced through the thin mist, and the city is gradually awakening from the darkness.

Kouta was awakened by a knock on the door. He sat up in bed, stretched, and then lazily got out of bed.

He was somewhat weak, and last night he tried everything he could to appease Hui.

He opened the window, and a blast of fresh air rushed in, cool and refreshing. In the distance, pedestrians and carriages were already moving along the street.

This world is free from the various forms of pollution of modern times. The sky is a clear, azure blue, and two moons, one large and one small, gradually disappear from view. Let's just call them moons for now, although the locals call them "Heli" and "Garcia," and they are said to be the incarnations of the two children of the earth goddess "Ottilia."

The door opened, and a maid brought out a very formal uniform, which she helped Kouta put on.

Kouta didn't refuse; these otherworldly clothes were so varied in style that he really needed someone's help.

Hui didn't make a fuss while changing clothes.

Although Hui sometimes throws tantrums, she feels even more sorry for Kōta and knows how much he silently sacrifices to indulge her tantrums; she remembers all of this.

After changing his clothes, Kouta walked down the spacious corridor and went downstairs, where he found that Eileen had also changed into a uniform.

After having breakfast, the two boarded a carriage and headed towards the imperial city.

The carriage was a bit bumpy when it moved, and the interior space was limited, about two square meters, with two people sitting facing each other.

Kouta remained silent, while Eileen seemed to want to say something but hesitated due to pride. After struggling with this decision several times, she finally spoke: "Hey!"

Kouta looked at Eileen in confusion: "Huh?"

“Although I haven’t forgiven you yet, you are now my fiancé, so you must do the following things at the academy,” Eileen said imperiously.

Although she was willing to marry Kouta, being willing to marry him did not mean that she respected him.

Deep down, she still looked down on her background in the Kengtai slums.

“Miss Eileen, what are your requirements?” Kouta asked.

Eileen crossed her legs, placed her hands on her chest, and said arrogantly, "Listen up."

First, don't come looking for me at the college.

Second, students are not allowed to have contact with other female students in the college.

Third, and most importantly, you must not reveal that we are already engaged.

Kouta nodded: "Okay, Miss Eileen."

"Hmph!" Eileen snorted and turned her head away.

The two of them didn't say anything after that.

Eileen felt a surge of dissatisfaction: 'Such a good opportunity and he didn't even bother to talk to me? What an ill-mannered person, so lacking in romance.'

The Imperial City covers a vast area and is not surrounded by city walls. Instead, it is separated by a wide avenue, with guards stationed at key points to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

Entering it is like stepping into a park, with lush green lawns, all sorts of exotic flowers and plants everywhere, verdant forests, shimmering lakes, and scattered elegant buildings in the distance...

Although this area is called the Royal City, it is not entirely composed of royal palaces and magnificent castles. The royal palaces and castles are located in the very center, surrounded by squares on all four sides and heavily guarded, making it an absolute restricted area.

Besides the royal palace and castle, there are also churches, armories, royal libraries, the King's Garden, the Queen's Residence, and various other parks and flowerbeds. The outer areas are various palace buildings, where most of the royal family members and some top nobles lived.

The Royal Knights Academy is located in a grove of trees on the outer edge of the city, close to the city guards, which makes it convenient for the children of noble families to enroll while also ensuring their safety.

The carriage traveled for quite a while before finally stopping.

Kouta got off the bus and was greeted by a small square. At the end of the square was an inverted "U"-shaped, magnificent four-story building. It was so beautiful and resplendent that it looked more like a luxurious palace than an academy.

Not long after Kouta got off the bus, a guard came up to him and took out his enrollment documents.

After the guard finished looking around, he led Kouta into the building, to a room on the fourth floor, said something to the guard in front of the room, and then turned and left.

The guard glanced at Kouta first, then opened the door a crack and went inside. After a while, he came out, opened a side door, and gestured for Kouta to go in.

As soon as Kouta entered, before he could even see what was inside, an immense sense of oppression washed over him, and the surrounding air seemed to thicken.

Kouta felt a chill run down his spine, his hair standing on end. He felt like prey being stalked by a cheetah, or like a small boat on a stormy sea, as if he would be swallowed up by the ocean at any moment.

Suddenly, Kei's voice rang in Kouta's mind: "Kouta, use your Noble Phantasm!"

"what?"

"To provide enough magic, you can directly unseal the thirteen layers of the Excalibur's seal, erasing this insect, along with everything in sight behind it. Heh~, a mere insect dares to intimidate you like this! Does it even deserve it?"

"Hey, Miss! Your Highness! Goddess! Calm down, calm down, please don't act impulsively, leave everything to me." Kōta quickly reassured Hui, knowing that Hui was telling the truth.

But if he were to do that, he would become a public enemy of the mainland, causing countless troubles for his future plans.

Why make things so complicated for yourself when you can easily complete the plan?

Moreover, he sensed that the [Twelve Trials] were being activated under this pressure.

“…Okay,” Hui said helplessly.

The pressure on my body grew stronger and stronger, until finally...

"Ow—!"

A fighting spirit ignited within Kouta, like an invisible roaring war lion, instantly sweeping away the oppressive aura emanating from him.

"Oh, this fighting spirit, is it the blood of the God of War that's awakened..." A man's voice came from the front of the room.

With the pressure easing, Kouta was able to see the scene inside the room clearly.

The room was large and spacious, with a clean and bright floor and a crystal ceiling. Opposite the door, against the wall, was a desk that took up two-thirds of the wall. The wall was a full-length window with the curtains half open, letting in rays of sunlight.

Behind the desk sat a tall, middle-aged man with bright red hair standing on end, rugged features, a thick beard, a scar on his left cheek, and only one arm.

The man looked at Kouta, his sharp eyes seeming to see right through him.

"A powerful figure! An extremely powerful figure!" Kouta felt a deadly threat, but he was a man of experience who had seen the world and even gods, so he met the gaze of the powerful figure without fear.

The man noticed Kouta's calm expression, and his scrutinizing gaze revealed a hint of appreciation.

'This temperament does have the bearing of a strong person, but unfortunately, he's an awakened divine bloodline.'

Chapter 504 Myths and Legends

This man is Harold Baker, the principal of the Royal Knight Academy and one of the few Sky Knights in the Kingdom of Altona.

He had already looked at Kouta's information beforehand, but it was limited to Kouta defeating the [Blood Eye] assassins and being recruited by Abel Loran.

He knew nothing about Kouta's experiences in the slums.

That's normal.

The slums are extremely chaotic. Even the kingdom's intelligence agencies cannot say for sure how many people live there, let alone their backgrounds, experiences, and so on.

Moreover, as a Sky Knight, he also knew some of the secrets of the continent.

This includes the fact that the limit for those who awaken divine blood is not actually that of a Great Knight, at least not a long time ago.

A thousand years ago, those who awakened divine blood could become Earth Knights, or even Sky Knights.

However, divine blood will decay over time. This decay is not dilution and is not affected by the concentration of divine blood.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that divine blood doesn't have the concept of concentration; the power of one drop of divine blood is the same as that of one hundred drops.

This is why all those who awaken divine blood will eventually grow to the same level.

From a thousand years ago to the present, the decline of divine blood has progressed from Earth Knights to Grand Knights, and it is estimated that in a few hundred years they will become Knights, or even eventually become ordinary people.

However, let's leave the future aside for now.

Harold looked at Kouta. With the added bonus of divine blood talent, the Great Knight could barely be compared to the Earth Knight.

This is why he agreed to let Kouta become a transfer student.

Otherwise, if a small businessman with a few connections were to think he could place a transfer student in the Royal Knights Academy, it would be a gross underestimation of the principal.

An Earth Knight is already a precious and top-tier force in the kingdom.

Above that are Sky Knights like him, the pillars of the kingdom; as for the Radiant Knights above them, there are none in the entire kingdom.

"Young man, welcome to the Royal Knight Academy." Harold's voice was deep and resonant, sounding like thunder.

"Hello, may I ask if you are the principal of the Royal Knight Academy, Lord Harold, known as the 'Knight of Fire'?" On the way here, Kouta had already inquired about some basic information about the academy from Eileen.
