His Majesty the King's Third Student (Part 1)

"Buzz"

After a flash of Silver light, the weary Fiore tour group arrived at their final destination.

Before Old Suo could catch his breath, the Prime Minister, who had received advance notice, had already led a grand welcoming team to appear before everyone.

"Hey, Red, why aren't you in the council chamber handling state affairs? What are you doing here greeting me?" (Old Suo)

Upon hearing His Majesty the King's words, the Prime Minister revealed a very charming smile, and then he dragged His Majesty the King toward the council hall.

"Your Her Highness the Queen, I'll borrow His Majesty the King now, and return it to you in a while!" (Red)

"No! Irene, save me!"

Watching His Majesty the King and his companion disappear at the end of the corridor, Divine Constable Di asked in bewilderment, "What... what's going on here?"

Upon hearing this question, Murellia, Lindel, Sonia simply turned their rusty necks without answering.

"Hmph! Needless to say, that scoundrel must have run away behind the Prime Minister's back, and now he's being dragged back to deal with the backlog of official business!" (Irene)

"No way? Didn't you say... (Divine Constable Di)?"

As she was talking, Divine Constable Di suddenly stopped. The next second, she and the other three ignorant stone men swallowed hard and sighed in unison at someone's playfulness and laziness.

After the four Divine Constable Di, finished their moment of silence, Her Highness the Queen said, "Alright, let's not think about those things anymore. Let's do something meaningful!"

Upon hearing Her Highness the Queen's suggestion, the four of them immediately perked up and asked in unison, "For example?"

"The bad guy still has the cake and drinks he packed up with us, so why don't we... (Irene)"

The next second, four knowing laughs, along with extremely expectant laughter, echoed down the corridor... Uh, sorry, another person joined in, so there were five laughs.

Philiers, Council Hall

"Red, it was wrong of me to go out without permission, but could you find another way to take me away? (Old Suo)"

Upon hearing the request from the lazy, irresponsible, and irresponsible Suo, the Prime Minister, based on the idea of human rights, gave up dragging him, grabbed Old Suo's shoulders with both hands, lifted him up, and then pressed him onto the throne.

"I've already finished processing mine; this one was specially saved for you!"

After speaking, the prime minister tossed his hair and strode away.

"Thump"

Affected by the vibration from the sound of the door closing, a black shadow descended from the sky and buried a certain rope on the throne.

After struggling to escape the pile of unidentified objects, Old Suo stared at the remaining half of the black pillar, tears streaming down his face, and complained, "Red, come back soon. My work skills aren't as good as you think..."

Although Old Suo's plea for help was sincere, it did not attract any reinforcements and instead caused the memorial pillar to collapse a second time.

"Splash!"

Having once again emerged from the pile of memorials, His Majesty the King had no choice but to accept this cruel reality and tearfully dealt with the Prime Minister's well-wishes.

June 1, X767, Erus Military Academy

After three days and three nights of non-stop work, Old Suo finally finished dealing with the consequences of his escape. But before he could catch his breath, he was dragged by the Prime Minister to the military academy to participate in a talent selection conference that had been arranged in advance.

"Your His Majesty the King, wake up! The talent selection competition is about to begin!" (Red)

Upon hearing the stern voice beside him, His Majesty the King abruptly opened his eyes, but after a moment, unable to resist the temptation of his eyelids, he gradually closed them again.

Seeing that normal calling methods could no longer help His Majesty the King regain consciousness, the Prime Minister used magic to support His Majesty the King and then laid a secret magical artifact borrowed from His Her Highness the Queen the Queen on his seat.

"Pfft"

The moment His Majesty the King lost his support and slammed onto the seat, a peculiar sound rang out. Immediately afterward, His Majesty the King's eyes widened and his mouth slowly opened.

Seeing this, the prime minister strode forward and stuffed a piece of prepared food into his mouth.

"Waaah"

While helping His Majesty the King wipe away his tears of emotion with a napkin, the Prime Minister whispered, "Your Majesty, hang in there, the assembly will begin soon, and it will end soon too!"

"It'll be over soon? Prime Minister, I remember the conference was supposed to last almost four hours, right? (Old Suo's inner thoughts)"

Seeing His Majesty the King looking at him with such sincerity, the Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction. (Old Suo: Author, get out of here! Was I looking at him sincerely? My eyes were full of grievance and doubt, okay?)

"Hmm! I knew His Majesty the King was the most obedient. Now I'll go prepare for the opening ceremony!"

After speaking, the Prime Minister slowly left the podium to attend to the opening ceremony.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a few cannon salutes, the Prime Minister, who had been waiting for some time, slowly walked to the center of the platform and spoke into the microphone in front of him, "Ladies and gentlemen, two years have passed since the reform of the education system in my Erus Kingdom. Today is the day to test the results of the reform. For this reason, our great His Majesty the King has taken time out of his busy schedule to come and participate in the selection examination for the first Royal Magic Academy."

After the Prime Minister finished speaking, His Majesty the King, who was enjoying some kind of bliss, stood up with a smile on his face under the gaze of everyone.

"Thank you all for coming to participate in the selection. I wish you all the best in achieving excellent results!"

"Slap slap"

"Slap slap"

The moment His Majesty the King finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Amidst the astonished, adoring, admiring, and awe-inspiring gazes of the young men and women, His Majesty the King returned to his seat. The Prime Minister, having regained control of the proceedings, continued, "Next, I will announce the competition events and the rules!"

"This assessment consists of four parts: the first is a magic test, the second is a theoretical test, the third is a practical test, and the fourth is a team operation."

"The rules for this assessment are as follows: First, no auxiliary tools may be used during the test. Second, no one may be intentionally injured or weapons may be used during the test. Third, this assessment is based on a points system. The top three scorers in the first three categories will have the right to choose their own teammates, while others will only have the right to be chosen or have their teammates assigned by the staff."

"The team that wins first place gets 50 points for all members, the team that wins second place gets 30 points for all members, and the team that wins third place gets 10 points for all members."

"Anyone found to have violated the above rules will be immediately disqualified from the competition and permanently banned from participating in any selection process!"

"Did you all understand?"

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, a unified rumble of thunder immediately resounded below the high platform.

"I understand!"

Due to the large number of participants and the fact that the Prime Minister did not prepare enough magic power measuring devices, long queues formed in front of the few magic power measuring devices available.

"Wow! They're really thorough with their testing!"

"Hehe! My friend, have you forgotten that His Majesty is watching from up there? How could they not put on a good show!"

"That's true!"

"However, to be fair, Your Majesty is indeed very young!"

"Yeah, I originally thought he was the same age as my dad, but I didn't expect him to be about the same age as me!"

"Stop trying to flatter yourself, kid. You think you can compare to His Majesty?"

"That's right! If you dare insult my idol again, I'll beat you up!"

"+1!"

"+857!"

"Sigh! If only I could get 857 more points, then I could choose my teammates freely!"

"Heh! Unless the referee is blind, this situation is unlikely to occur!"

"Hey, don't you guys think the privileges for the top three are a bit too much?"

"Heh! Young man, I advise you to take back those words right away, or the Heavenly King Guard will cripple you!"

"Um... Dude, you're not going to tell me that this rule was proposed by the Heavenly Kings, are you?"

"Heavenly King? Hmph! These are the rules set by His Majesty!"

"Oh! No wonder!"

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Oh dear, you idiot! His Majesty has always upheld the principle of respecting the strong, so it's perfectly normal for him to design such a rule!"

"Young man, you can explain, but don't use that word to describe His Majesty, or I'll have my guards teach you a lesson!" (PS: Unless otherwise specified, girls usually address others like that.)

Faced with the angry glares of a group of girls, the boy who uttered the words "old man" immediately nodded in apology, saying that he would not make the same mistake again.

"Hey, let's hurry up, it's our turn!"

Upon hearing this warning, the group, whose engines had already been turned off, restarted them and chased after the taillights of the car in front.

An hour later, the first round of testing was completed, and the participants once again witnessed His Majesty the King's belief in the supremacy of the strong.

"Magic test results: First place - Sinstaton Creel, 860 points; Second place - Wins Gucci, 840 points; Third place -Herder Cross, 800 points." (Actually, the Great Owl was too lazy to think of names, so he only announced the scores of the top three.)

"Now we will proceed with the second item: the theoretical test!"

After the referee's voice fell, smooth stone tables and chairs appeared next to each participant. Then, members of the Heavenly King Guard, dressed in black military uniforms, entered the arena and distributed the exam papers.

"The exam lasts one hour. Those who do not finish within the allotted time will be eliminated!"

"The test is now beginning!"

As the exam whistle blew, all the candidates turned their attention to the test questions.

central dais

His Majesty the King, who was snoring softly, suddenly felt himself floating up. Then, that familiar stinging pain once again traveled through his buttocks and reached his central nervous system.

Just as Old Suo was about to scream in a fit of rage, that wicked little hand reached out again and silenced his scream in the same way.

"Waaah"

"Waaah"

After a period of hysterical struggle, His Majesty the King finally calmed down.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want to experience this tingling sensation again, you'd better obediently open your eyes and look down at the audience, and stop being naughty! (Prime Minister)"

His Majesty the King, who had lost the ability to speak, nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice, to indicate that he understood.

Only then did the Prime Minister release his grip and slowly stand behind His Majesty.
