A Dance of Three on the Snowy Mountain / Deceit and Fistfights

Just as she was curiously experimenting with different things to see how well the cheese would go, the door opened and a young man walked in carrying a plate of stew.

"Hello ma'am, here's your braised meat." After placing the braised meat in front of Suika, the man didn't leave but stood a short distance away, quietly watching Suika eat.

"Want some?" Suika asked after glancing at him, sensing his gaze.

"You know me?" The man asked curiously after hearing Suika's words, and then sat down opposite her.

"Perhaps..." Suika placed the braised meat in front of her, picked up her fork, and started eating, showing no intention of exchanging any more words with the other person.

"Since you've come to see me, why won't you speak to me?" Seeing that Suika was indeed ignoring him, the man pressed on.

"You? I didn't come to see you, I came to see Enciodes," Suika said while eating, her head down.

"I am Enciodes!" The man's tone became louder, as if he was dissatisfied with Suika's coldness.

Suika looked up, glanced at him, and then scoffed.

"Stop joking. Although both Gnosis and Enciodes have's' in their names, the difference in the first part is huge."

Besides, you have to pretend he at least dresses himself up as white-haired Feline, instead of not pretending at all, thinking I can't tell the difference between Feline and Liberi."

Upon hearing Suika's words, the man's expression changed several times. He was certain that he had never seen the other person before, and that he had always been hiding behind Enciodes. Unless it was an acquaintance, no one would be able to call him by name.

But the other party not only knew his name, but also knew his identities as Liberi Feline Enciodes.

"Gnosis, I've said before that there's no need to test him... Since this distinguished guest comes from the Royal Academy branch of the Kestrel Territory, he must have brought something related to the admission slots we applied for through the Kjerag Trade."

"Hello, I am Enciodes, and this is Gnosis, also Silverash of the Kjerag Trade."

Suika nodded, then took out two letters.

"That's right, these are two letters from Headmistress Elisa to Mr. Silverash of Kjerag Trade and Mr. Enciodes of Kjerag. Since they're both here, I'll give them to them both."

Suika stared at Silverash, who was using a pseudonym, with a strange look on her face and said with a smile.

Enciodes blushed slightly upon seeing the two letters that Suika had handed him directly.

He understood perfectly well that his background had long been known to the other party. He had just tried to attribute Silverash's name to Gnosis, but the other party simply wouldn't accept it.

However, being a man who had experienced business warfare, he quickly calmed down and opened the two letters.

The contents of the letters were almost identical, except that the letter to Enciodes, addressed to Kjerag, indicated that Kjerag would be given six slots, while the letter to Silverash indicated that the construction rights for four buildings of the Kjerag Trade could be granted.

"Ms. Elisa said in her letter that you brought a set of exam papers?" After reading the letter, Silverash looked up at Suika.

Suika nodded, then pointed to her backpack and said...

The exam paper is inside.

Before leaving, Elisa stated that she would rather have fewer students than accept unqualified ones.

"Mr. Enciodes, I'm giving Kjerag a month to prepare. The exam will officially start in a month. I don't care how many people you arrange to take the exam, but if fewer than ten people pass, I will only take those who pass to school."

Chapter 286 A Three-Person Dance on the Snow Mountain

Upon hearing Suika's words, Silverash and Gnosis exchanged a glance.

"So, what's the scope of the exam?" Gnosis asked.

"Mathematics, physics, and chemistry are, after all, subjects taught by institutions under the Academy of Sciences, so the exams will also cover related topics," Suika answered crisply and directly after he finished asking, clearly having anticipated this.

"Miss Suika, even math and science cover a very wide range of topics, and it's not easy for us in Kjerag. Our average academic level has always been low. I wonder..." Realizing that Suika seemed to have been prepared for this, Gnosis could only try to play the victim.

Suika shook her head decisively.

"No, Elisa said that this set of test papers is a very basic set of test papers researched by their school's teaching and research group. If you can't even pass this, then you won't learn anything at school."

"Head of Silverash, I imagine you went to all that trouble to send your student to university, and you don't want him to be completely lost and unable to understand anything after enrollment!"

After Suika finished speaking, she looked at Enciodes.

After thinking about it, he realized that Suika said made sense. Kjerag was indeed in dire need of talent, which was why he needed to send people to the outside world to learn more advanced experiences and cultures to help him establish Kjerag.

However, if the people sent out are of low skill and cannot learn anything, then the investment will be wasted.

You have to understand that earning money is never easy for Kjerag, so naturally he wants to use every penny on steel knives.

"Okay, I understand. I will arrange for someone to gather the students of Kjerag for training, and try to get ten of them to meet Miss Suika's requirements."

Enciodes stood up after speaking.

"Gnosis, go and arrange accommodations for Ms. Suika. Remember not to mistreat our distinguished guest."

"No problem, I will arrange for someone to take good care of Miss Suika."

However, I still have a question: this exam paper will be in Miss Suika's hands for a whole month. What if something goes wrong?

Of course, I'm not saying I don't trust Miss Suika, but this matter concerns the fate of the younger generation in Kjerag, so I have to be cautious."

Gnosis looked at Suika, his expression one of righteous indignation.

Suika tilted her head.

"What you say makes some sense, but you're from Kjerag, and you just lied to me, so I don't trust you."

If you secretly leak the exam questions, wouldn't I become the guilty party?

Of course, I imagine you wouldn't feel comfortable leaving it with me, so how about I choose someone to protect this exam paper?"

"Who!" Gnosis looked at Suika.

"The one outside the door is strong enough, and she's not from Kjerag. I believe she won't lose the exam papers, nor will she give anyone a chance to leak the questions." Suika pointed to the doorway, and the two people inside looked at Suika with suspicion.

They naturally knew who was standing outside the door, but she hadn't even come in. The fact that Suika had noticed this left the two of them wondering about her true identity.

Upon hearing Suika's words, the woman outside opened the door and came in.

"You can spot me?"

"Of course, the renowned Black Knight, when I visited Kazimierz, all the knights there were marveling at the glory you brought to the Knight's Tournament."

Suika answered only after seeing who it was.

After she finished speaking, she took out the commemorative gold medal with the Black Knight's image on it, which was the compensation given to her by the Commercial Union when she was last in Kazimierz.

Upon seeing the gold medal, the Black Knight briefly drifted into memories.

"As far as I know, there are only a few of these gold medals in Kazimierz, and each one is in the hands of the higher-ups. Where did you get yours?"

"It's the compensation you mentioned from the higher-ups, right? It happened at the recent Kazimierz Knight's Tournament."

At this point, Suika took out her camera and tossed it to Gnosis was standing not far away.

"Can we take a group photo? Maria would be so jealous if she saw this!"

Before the Black Knight could refuse, Suika jumped to her side and looked at her with a smile.

After witnessing Suika's speed, the Black Knight nodded.

"Sure, but you'll have to have a match with me later..."

Suika looked up at her opponent, and all she could see in her eyes was fighting spirit, which made Suika very happy.

Even Li Gousheng or ACE, subconsciously, often see themselves as children. It's rare to find someone who treats them as an equal, especially such a cool and kind older sister. This filled Suika with admiration.

No wonder they're triple champions.

"No problem! Sir, don't just stand there taking pictures, you don't know how to use a camera, do you?"

Gnosis, who was not far away, paused for a few seconds after hearing their conversation before picking up his camera and pointing it in their direction.

Suika stood on the stool parallel to the Black Knight, and then, with a click, a photo appeared in the camera a few seconds later.

Gnosis raised an eyebrow upon seeing the instant photo.

"I've seen Columbia's latest technology before, but the level of precision wasn't this high. Has it been improved again?"

Holding the photo, Gnosis was surprised to find that it was incredibly clear, a world apart from the clarity of the Polaroid photos he had seen before.

"Hehe, just looking, not selling!" Suika took the camera and photos and looked at them. The angle and lighting were quite good. Although it was a group photo, the quality was surprisingly good.

"Uncle, I think you could consider becoming a photographer; you have a good talent!"

Although the two sides were just arguing, Suika, having received the photo, still agreed.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the Black Knight with the photo in her hand.

"Big sister, could you please sign your name?"

The Black Knight did not speak, but picked up the pen on the side and wrote the word mace on the back of the group photo.

"A mace? Is that the weapon you use?" Suika asked deliberately after she finished writing.

The Black Knight nodded. "My weapon is also my current name."

"Hello, Sister Jian. This is the exam paper that Dean Elisa asked me to bring. Please keep it in a safe place."

"You can take it out before the exam, then we'll go make copies. By the way, are there any copy shops in Kjerag?"

Suika handed the exam paper package to the Black Knight.

"There's a photocopier at the Kjerag Trade; you can borrow it then," said Enciodes, who hadn't left yet.

That would be wonderful.

Sister Jian, you go put away the exam papers first. I'll wait for you here. After that, we'll go outside and stretch our muscles."

After saying that, Suika sat back down in her seat and buried herself in the food she hadn't finished eating.

Jian took the documents and left first, followed closely by Enciodes, while Gnosis took his leave a while after the two had gone.

"That girl is strong?" Enciodes asked after witnessing Jian put the documents into the safe and then hang the safe key on his waist.

Chapter 287 Deceit and Treachery, Punches and Kicks

Hearing Enciodes's words, Jian didn't turn around. Instead, she continued walking for a while to make sure she was far away before nodding.

"You are not a martial artist, so you can't feel how terrifying the pressure emanating from that child is."

The sight of that child sitting there gave me the feeling of the majestic Kjerag Holy Mountain standing before me.

It's not just about being "very strong"; it's about whether, if she truly came with malicious intent, even if I went all out, I couldn't guarantee I could safely get you and that guy Gnosis out of that house.

"Even if she truly intended to kill, we and everyone here would probably die."

Jian said very seriously.

Upon hearing Jian's words, Enciodes broke out in a cold sweat.

"I hope Gnosis is alright!"

Jian shook his head.

"Probably not. I didn't sense any murderous intent in that child's eyes, and she's much more interested in you than in Gnosis."

After hearing Jian's words, Enciodes felt a chill run down his spine; he had no desire to associate with such a mysterious and powerful person.

"But you just made a promise to fight her, what if..." Enciodes thought of the promise the two of them had made in the room and became somewhat worried.

To this, Jian instead revealed a somewhat arrogant smile.

"In Kjerag, apart from facing avalanches, there are very few things that can make me feel threatened and tremble. Now that I've finally encountered one, how can I back down?"

Looking at Jian's spirited appearance, Enciodes felt a mix of emotions. If it weren't for her old-fashioned knightly spirit, the unassuming Kjerag wouldn't have been able to keep this Black Knight.

Are you really going to do what she says?

Enciodes pointed to the safe and said...

"What, you have no confidence in the young people of Kjerag?"

"Of course there is, but the commemorative gold coin she produced proves that she and Kazimierz have a close relationship. Don't you have any doubts?"

Enciodes recalled the first time he met her, when she was being hunted down by the Armorless Union, and felt a pang of emotion.

"If it were her chasing me, I would probably be dead in Kazimierz long ago."

I just don't like the Commercial Union and the Armorless Union, not all Kazimierz.

Besides, they're not from Kazimierz. If I were to take my anger out on them, wouldn't I seem petty...?

You're saying I'm petty!

Jian looked at Enciodes with ill intent, and the other party quickly put on an innocent expression to show his innocence.

On the way back, he encountered Gnosis, who was sweating profusely as he walked out of the lounge. He smiled and shook his head.

She had told Gnosis to stop with all the fancy stuff, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on testing the girl named Suika, which ended up embarrassing himself.
