Forging The Path To Godliness - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Conflict

The Knight’s Academy was a place to nurture the students’ combat strength, it could not let them study theories and gain knowledge all the time.

Like the situation in Osborne City earlier, they were definitely going to let the students experience actual combat, otherwise, they would not grow much.

Of course, necessary protection would be given to them, they would not truly have to risk their lives. After all, this was an academy, they had to be responsible to the students’ parents.

If anything happened to the students, the parents would question the academy which would get them into trouble.

And even if it was not a life-and-death battle, combat of such an extent would still be much more useful than sparring.

And this time, the Knight’s Academy was bringing the students to the Demonic Wind Mountain Range.

The Demonic Wind Mountain Range was one of the most dangerous places near Aden City, the mutated beasts inside were stronger than those in other locations, thus, the Knights that the academy chose were also the stronger ones.

Like Blake and Avril.

After knowing that they were going to the Demonic Wind Mountain Range for training, Ye Feng instructed Blake to protect Avril and keep her safe.

Blake had sufficient strength and also a righteous temperament.

“Teacher, you really trust me on this.” Blake glanced at Avril with the corner of his eyes and smiled bitterly internally.

He was once Avril’s suitor, to think that his teacher would ask him to take care of her…

“I will not let down my teacher’s expectations!” Blake was a little moved, he thought to himself: “As long as I live, I will not let Avril get harmed.”

He seemed to have forgotten that this was their training, appropriate danger was necessary.

But this was also why Ye Feng trusted him, he was stubborn as a mule, this was Blake’s good point but also his weakness.

After being with Ye Feng for such a long time, he had already changed a lot, right now, he was someone with a firm belief.

“I believe that this is not the first time you are going out for training, because of the danger in the Demonic Wind Mountain Range, I will accompany you along the way, but without any fatal danger, I will not step in.” A teacher stood before them and looked at the motivated students in satisfaction, but he still spoke sternly: “Of course, I do not want any of you to get into fatal danger, but don’t take risks because you know I am here.”

“My protection is limited! I hope all of you can treat this training as a real adventure!”

The students taking part in this were not weak, as a teacher, he naturally liked these well performing students.

He believed that they would produce good results.

They were elite students after all, the teacher only gave them a short talk before bringing them to the Demonic Wind Mountain Range.

Of course, after entering it, the teacher went to the back and stayed behind them.

After the group was spread out a little, Blake came to Avril’s side and started protecting her.

Avril took a look at Blake, Ye Feng had informed her of this matter so she was not surprised.

She could see determination and seriousness from Blake’s eyes, he was like a completely different person from when they first met, her dislike towards him quickly faded away.

“I’ll have to trouble you.” Avril nodded.

When Ye Feng told her about this, she did not reject him. She believed in Ye Feng’s decision, since he confirmed that Blake was trustworthy, she would not raise objections.

And now it seemed like Ye Feng was right.

“This is my duty, since teacher gave me this mission, I will not fail him.” As they had just entered the Demonic Wind Mountain Range, it was still not dangerous, so Blake had the time to relax and talk while observing the surroundings.

He was not only protecting Avril now. Because she was very popular in the academy, he also had to shield her from harassment in place of his teacher.

“You are really serious.” Avril laughed lightly, if this was the old Blake, he would be in a daze now, but at the moment, he only had one thought.

Avril was such a beautiful woman with a wonderful personality, he needed to help his teacher protect her!

Sometimes, Ye Feng would wonder if he had actually brainwashed Blake.

He trusted Ye Feng too much.

“You don’t have to be so serious.” Avril added: “This is our training, it is a trial, if I have someone’s protection at all times, it would not be considered one. Furthermore, I am quite strong… or rather, with our teacher’s protection, there should not be any problems for our safety.”

Even though she was thankful for Blake’s protection, she had to say this at the start.

“I know.” Blake nodded and relaxed himself slightly.

Avril saw that her words had little effect, she shook her head and stopped speaking.

If she said anything else, it would be insulting to him.

But Avril’s laughter earlier did not just attract Blake.

“Dear Lady Avril, I think you need a guardian.” A frivolous voice could be heard as Avril and Blake subconsciously turned around.

“Lamela, what are you doing here?” Blake frowned and looked at him.

Lamela was the future inheritor of the Odin clan, he did as he pleased in Aden City, by relying on his family background, he was quite a famous person.

But his lecherous nature was well known, when he first met Avril in the Knight’s Academy, he harassed her.

Of course, Avril had never given in any attention, and in the academy, Lamela did not dare to overly bother her, she was a student after all, the academy had to take responsibility over her safety.

Even though the Knight’s Academy was inside Aden City, the Odin clan could not interfere in their affairs, at least, Lamela could not be too arrogant inside the academy.

The Knight’s Academy had an extremely high status in Aden City.

Of course, many students were afraid of the power of the Odin clan and would usually give in to Lamela.

Blake and Avril were the rare exception.

“I am talking to Lady Avril, what does it have to do with you?” Lamela gave a glance at Blake and said in disdain: “Doesn’t Lady Avril dislike you? Why are you still so close to her?”

Blake’s background was not bad either, he also had a far better reputation, after all, Blake had never done anything like bullying others using his family.

Thus, Lamela had quite a grudge against him.

“Heh, that is none of your business, she is not chasing me away either.” Blake smiled coldly.

“To think that you are so shameless.” Seeing that Avril showed no reaction, Lamela did not back off either, he started to say sarcastically: “Didn’t you hide at home earlier after losing to someone? That experience has made you quite thick-skinned.”
