Sword Quest for Succession would begin in the second semester at the Royal Academy. Spring was the first semester and autumn the second, so there was still nearly a month before Le Yu officially took up his post.
Besides that, the Guard of Rites had to help Le Yu complete his hiring procedures. Although he was only going to be an elective-course teacher, not a single step could be skipped. Inserting a teacher into an existing class was not that easy, after all—the school did not belong to their family.
This was the first trial of Sword Quest for Succession. Sword Seekers could naturally use the back door to become academy students, but if the Sword Bearers could not even get qualified to infiltrate the academy as staff, they would have no choice but to run snack shops outside the school.
Le Yu had originally wanted to get acquainted with his "sword person"—the master of the sword sheath—early, discuss tactics, and use this month to train their teamwork. Ideally, they would form a battle team like the Mirror Sound Twins, the Black Wind Double Fiends, or the Water Mirror Double Wonders, then steamroll the other teams in Sword Quest for Succession. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Putting everything else aside, Le Yu was still quite confident in his own combat strength. After all, a sword sheath's combat strength was limited to the Proficient Realm. He would not claim he was guaranteed to win, but he definitely would not lose.
I had fought Mr. Tie, an old-established powerhouse (meaning I had thrown the Divine Spear from far away),
I had counterkilled Qin Leyin in a head-on clash (meaning I had used the system cheat),
So it wasn't excessive to call myself a half-step Pinnacle Realm expert, right?
