As soon as Simmons left, Sister Long came in, her face beaming, her attitude taking a complete 180-degree turn, “Ah Xin, I didn’t expect you to be friends with young master Simmons, who is like an eagle. That’s wonderful.”

“Sister Long, I’m not that close with Simmons, we just know each other,” Li Xin said.

“Knowing each other is fate, a great destiny. Listen to your sister, there aren’t many opportunities for greatness in life. This is a gift from the heavens. In the Saint George District, as long as someone from the Saint George Clan is backing you, you’ll surely flourish. I see that young master Simmons appreciates you a lot, truly. Seize the chance. Whatever you need, just say the word. From the first time I saw you, I knew you weren’t ordinary, just like our dragon carp. Encountering the storm and cloud, it transforms into a dragon!” Sister Long spoke earnestly, looking at Li Xin as if he were her long-lost brother.

“I’ll try, Sister Long,” Li Xin said, smiling wryly, knowing that what she said was true.

“Call me Sister Long. I have a long-lost younger brother about your age. Did you know? When I first saw you, I thought of my poor brother, my unlucky brother…” Sister Long’s eyes turned red, as if about to jump on Li Xin, causing him to quickly step back in fear.

“Sister Long, ahem, Sister… Let’s have a good chat,” Even Li Xin’s thick skin faltered a bit, and his dignity slipped away, “I don’t know much about the George Family, you’ll have to provide some intel, so I can be better friends with Simmons.”

“Ah, that’s the spirit!” Sister Long clapped her plump thigh, causing a white ripple, making Li Xin want to close his eyes, “Ah Xin, live well at the dragon carp, mingle with young master Simmons more, invite him over to play more often, leave the rest to me!”

“Sister Long, you wouldn’t happen to have an eye on Simmons, would you?” Li Xin couldn’t help but tease.

Sister Long was stunned, her mouth almost crooked from laughing, “You are indeed my dear brother, young master Simmons has both looks and family background, ability and lineage. I’ve been waiting for such a person at heart.”

“Indeed, Sister Long, you have a keen eye. I’ll help you get to know him better.”

In a second, Li Xin had sold out his newly made friend, while Sister Long was utterly delighted. Why would young master Simmons come? Why help her out? Surely, there’s a bit of fondness involved!

On the way back to the Canon Law School, Simmons kept sneezing, feeling like some evil spirit was following him, making him quicken his pace.

Li Xin’s goal is the Song of Hell, which is understandable, he doesn’t want to overthink it. As for the Holy Land, he really can’t decide on his own, he’d have to inquire. Normally, multiple people using the Holy Land is the standard. In large families, they prefer guiding the inheritors who need special nurturing this way, but this process is quite cautious, as it involves “variables” and “causality.”

Back in the Canon Law School, Lancer was chatting happily with the team members, making Simmons have mixed feelings. Damn it, he had just walked through the gate of hell and even specially singled this kid out, fearing to drag the innocent down. Now seeing him look so innocent, next time he would take him along no matter the risk, at least have some company on that road.

“Boss, you finally came back. We thought you were into that boss lady,” Lancer laughed, and his companions also chuckled.

“Oh, you’re all so happy. I’ve decided that from now on, we’ll order team meals from there every day, and you’ll be the one to pick them up,” Simmons said coolly.

“Boss, that’s just trying something new. Eating it every day is too much, if you like it, let them deliver,” Lancer hadn’t realized the danger yet.

“That boss lady said she has a crush on you. Your problem is you’re too inexperienced and need a mature woman to teach you a lesson. I think she’d be perfect for you,” Simmons said, while the team members stifled their laughter. On his return, Lancer had been bragging about that boss lady’s features and that damn deceptive portrait, not knowing how many had been fooled by it.

Thinking of Sister Long’s grandeur and charm, Lancer shuddered a bit, actually feeling a bit excited, “Boss, I was wrong. I’ll definitely follow your eagle-like footsteps closely next time. Oh, right, I remember that cook. I think he was some substitute from the Celestial Capital Canon Law School, how did he end up in Hedan working as a cook, that’s so tragic?”

The trip to Celestial Capital was a bit demeaning, but it solidly replenished the Saint Grace Canon Law School with a whole new batch of Hex Demon-Sealing Spears, sacrificing the small self for the greater good, just like the eagle-like Captain Simmons.

“Brother, what’s up, you’ve been acting weird since returning from Celestial Capital. They even said you fell for the Black Rose’s Luo Xue, but she wasn’t into you, such good taste she has.” The speaker was a lively sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a neat short haircut. In Moncalleta, noble girls’ hair was very prized, and even in the Knight Academy or Canon Law School, they wouldn’t cut it short, those who dared to cut it were a bit brave and trendy.

The girl was very beautiful, Moncalleta girls matured earlier, their figures curvaceous, in the early stage of maturity, their long legs were their hallmark, and the confidence in their eyes was the extra touch, belonging to the kind that captures both men and women, her name was Celestia, Simmons’ cousin.

Simmons attending the Canon Law School was the George Family’s gamble, no family could escape the fate of rise and fall. The George Family was no exception, as its influence in Hedan dwindled over time. The territory left was mostly immigrant areas, lofty to ordinary people, but somewhat dispensable to nobles, only upheld by the port maintaining the family’s dignity, but this couldn’t last forever, as an unpredictable event could cause the family’s downfall.

Simmons could have chosen a safer original embryo, but the family chose to send him to the Secret Castle. When choosing between the Royal Knight Academy or the Canon Law School, they took a risk and picked the Canon Law School, not because they didn’t value the connections of the Knight Academy, but because they would be marginalized if they went there.

From another perspective, taking a gamble with the Canon Law School at least caught the King’s attention. When in dire straits, seek change; change brings opportunities.

Based on the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket, Celestia didn’t actually need to come. She is pure rebellion, of course, Celestia has her own thoughts. Compared with the strictly regulated and scheming Royal Knight Academy, she prefers the freedom of the Canon Law School. A woman’s world is tougher than a man’s.

As the capital, Hedan has several Canon Law Schools, all quite decent, and among all the Canon Law Schools on the Dao Yuan Continent, they are top-tier. This divine favor makes other countries envious, but this is nothing. The true emblem of Hedan’s level is the four Knight Academies.

The Canon Law School is a product of its time, established with the strong support of grandmasters from the Celestial Principle School. It leans towards ordinary citizens, with low entry barriers. No one knows how the grandmasters persuaded King Ola into giving strong support, but in reality, the Knight Academy is truly the heritage of the Moncalleta, a place to train noble elites, with strict assessments and no admission for commoners. The level is astonishingly high.

In essence, the countries on the Dao Yuan Continent in this era are all hierarchically strict, just to different extents.

The skeletal camel is still bigger than a horse. Simmons George could rightly choose a good Knight Academy, so his entry into the Saint Grace Canon Law School received the King’s public approval, forcing some nobles to send less important members of their families to the Canon Law School just to show face to the King.

The implementation of the Canon Law School in Moncalleta has been around for some time, but it hasn’t produced any stunning results, always overshadowed by the Knight Academy. The emergence of the Canon Law School only accentuates the prominence of Knight Academy elites. When it comes to strengthening national power, Moncalleta’s size makes it less noticeable, but it has indeed nurtured a batch of Hex-Tech talents, improving the lives of commoners, enriching the experience of nobility. However, this is still vastly different from the monumental changes in Luthor.

Gradually, the King’s interest faded, and the Canon Law School is currently in a middling state, making Simmons and others, who intended to make a bit of a mark, somewhat embarrassed.

Celestia’s rebellious behavior enraged Count George to the point of being half-dead, yet there is nothing he can do. Celestia was chosen as a companion reader for the Princess, a significant identity with a lot of power. This action is also seen as support for the royal decision, and there’s no way to openly oppose it.

Celestia never doubted her wise decision. In fact, she enjoyed it immensely: with fewer rules, the Canon Law School is more passionate, more free. Compared to the Royal Knight Academy’s overt and covert struggles, comparisons, and clashes, the Canon Law School is filled with hope and passion, living vibrantly and happily.

Regarding Salitia’s gossip, Simmons didn’t pay any attention, “Do you plan to keep opposing your family like this?”

“Captain Simmons, I think the Canon Law School is the trend of history, it can’t be defied. Don’t you think so?” Celestia flashed a bright smile, youthful and dazzling, “Recently, I’ve been reading a lot of Luthor’s works, insights that are truly ahead of their time, aligning well with the grandmasters’ ideas. Grandmaster Vladimir is about to ascend to Demigod; we must keep pace with the times.”

“Boss, what are you doing, Celestia is the spiritual leader of our Canon Law School. If she leaves, the Canon Law School loses its color, you’ll dampen our morale!” Lancer said, and the team members also strongly opposed. Since Celestia’s arrival, she truly inspired the Saint Grace Canon Law School greatly. At Saint Grace, most are from wealthy families or rich merchants, with the nobles being forced to come due to lack of importance at home. Simmons’ and Celestia’s identity really stand out.

In Moncalleta, the foundation and strength of noble children are much better than commoners. The accumulation of several generations is no joke. Without Simmons, Celestia, Lancer, and others, the Canon Law School would be crushed to dust by the Knight Academy.

Simmons is the nominal captain, while Celestia is the perceived captain in everyone’s eyes. “Simmons, you’re an unfit captain. I’ve heard the King has already ordered preparations for the Glory War. How can we just muddle through life every day? We need to arrange training matches with other teams. We’ve been working hard for this opportunity to prove ourselves. If you win, you’ll be the hero who leads the George Family and the Canon Law School to soar, a true eagle!”

“Yes, boss. The Canon Law School has reached a turning point. If we can demonstrate the same level as the Knight Academy, it’s a massive accomplishment. We’ll be the pioneers of the era!” Lancer also said, influenced by the Hex-Tech movement, he joined the Canon Law School resolutely, reportedly beaten half to death by his family back then.

“The Knight Academy has always looked down on us, but their attitude is an opportunity for us!” Celestia laughed.

Moncalleta Kingdom holds the “Glory of the Earth Mother Battle” every five years, the most watched battle in Moncalleta, as an offering to the divinity, both a celebration and a festival, with a long history. Even with the emergence of the Canon Law School, it has always been the stage of the Knight Academy.

With the novelty of Hex-Tech waning and the populace returning to rationality, everyone feels the focus reverting to the importance of hard strength.

This is a battle that tests the level of all Knight Academies and Canon Law Schools in Moncalleta. The victors in each edition undoubtedly become the cornerstone and pillar of the Kingdom, impacting various policies and the rise and decline of families.

Knight Academies and Canon Law Schools from all over will deploy all their forces.

This edition of the Glory Battle carries extraordinary significance because Princess Estella has reached marriageable age. How will the choice of a consort be decided? The answer is clear.
