When Rhodes saw Alice, the scene presented an unusually quiet atmosphere.

And the source of the atmosphere... Rhodes glanced at Alexia who looked murderous next to her.

In front of her stood a young man who, judging from his attire, was obviously from the Knights.

On one side of the two of them, Alice was helpless and didn't know what to say. She was at a loss and could only watch dryly.

"Princess Alice, I brought Rhodes." The person who led Rhodes before said respectfully, breaking the silence at the scene.

"Thanks a lot."

After he withdrew, Alice finally seemed to have someone to talk to, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking in the direction of Rhodes, the corner of his mouth curled up with a beautiful smile: "We finally met. Claire once told me about you. She has always admired you very much. Her words were full of appreciation for her brother. I I was very curious. I heard that you were enrolling today, so I called you here."

"So after seeing me, are you satisfied or dissatisfied?" Rhodes looked away from the two people who were facing each other next to him.

"Hard to say."

Alice observed Rhodes carefully, her black eyes, the calmness and confidence in her eyes, which she could hardly see in other people of her age.

"I can't see through you."

After Alice admitted frankly, she suddenly invited: "Do you want to join the Knights? Your sister recommended you to me."

Hearing Alice's offer of an olive branch, the other two couldn't help but cast their gaze over.

"Your Highness Alice, isn't that a little too abrupt?"

The young man took a step forward and said: "It is undeniable that Claire is indeed very strong, but his brother is not necessarily so. Joining without being tested by the Knights will definitely arouse everyone's opposition."

"Will anyone really object?" Acrecia said scornfully.

"Marquis Geno, if I remember correctly, you have lost to Klea's swordsmanship more than once. If you refuse him to join, it's hard not to believe that you are seeking revenge."

Alexia sneered, and her malicious words made the young man's face twitch.

Her words clearly touched upon Marquis Jeno's pain.

Since Claire joined the academy two years ago, she has grown at an astonishing rate.

First, he defeated all the teachers below level 1, and then challenged him.

In the beginning, he could maintain victory, but a year ago, he was unable to do what he wanted. And recently, the girl's mastery of the swordsmanship of the King's Bu Shin-ryu was even higher than hers. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she Under Claire's pure swordsmanship, she was completely defeated.

His defeat caused an uproar in the academy. Marquis Geno was the country's swordsmanship instructor. It was shocking that a sixteen-year-old girl could defeat her with just swordsmanship.

And this once made him have evil thoughts and wanted to directly kill this new generation of shining star.

Why can others surpass me so easily with the power that I have worked so hard to gain?

Even if there is a 100% chance of killing Claire if his strength is revealed, he cannot avoid revealing his identity. Claire usually lives in the academy. The academy itself is famous for training magic swordsmen. If a battle suddenly breaks out in the school, my slightest move will attract others' attention.

He could only hold back and not take action, forced to accept the humiliation in swordsmanship.

Likewise, he naturally didn't have a good look at Claire, who had made him suffer so much criticism, and even looked at Rhodes with cold eyes.

Marquis Geno said calmly: "I am a teacher and a member of the Knights. I don't want other people to join the Knights who are just pretending to be fake. You say so, Alexia."

When it came to the word "cheating", the sarcasm in Marquis Geno's eyes made Alexia's face darken.

But Rhodes' expression as if he was watching a show made her even more indignant.

"Now that he won't let you join the Knights, what will you do?" Alexia said angrily.

"Who said I was going to join the Knights?" Rhode asked with a smile.

"You don't want to join the Knights?" Alexia asked with laughter.

The Knights, as a special organization with certain rights, is a place that other students dream of joining. Not only is it a recognition of ability and character, but most importantly, joining the Knights naturally opens the way up the noble ladder.

Even if someone refused, it was only after careful consideration. Rhodes's quick answer was beyond Alexia's expectations.

"Then let me ask, why should I join? His opinion is dispensable to me. I act according to my own will. The Knights are synonymous with trouble in my eyes." Rhodes said leisurely. said.

Alexia wanted to say that this was a personal invitation from Her Highness Alice. When she saw Rhode's gaze, she realized why she had always felt violated by Rhode.

Although Rhodes acted no different from a normal teenager, he acted very calmly whether he was facing her or Alice's invitation.

At best, he was calm and composed, at worst, he ignored them.

He didn't care about their identity and status, nor how good-looking they were. He just answered in a normal conversational tone.

This kind of self-confidence happened to be what Alexia herself lacked. She couldn't achieve this, so Alexia was sincerely envious.

"Don't you think about it? I can take it upon myself to let you join the Knights."

When Alice heard Alexia's words and combined with Marquis Jeno's performance, she knew that what she said was close to reality.

"No need." Rhodes shook his head: "If nothing happens, I'll leave. I haven't even visited the academy properly."

"Okay." Alice regretted.

Ignoring the uncertain Marquis Geno, Rhodes left.

But as the saying goes, he doesn't want to get involved in trouble, but trouble bumps into him...
