chapter 38 college exam

As Garfield and Walfred were about to leave. Another group of people suddenly approached outside the square. Dressed in luxurious fur clothing, with extraordinary bearing and sharp eagle-like eyes, they commanded a sense of awe. That made the onlookers, including many students, step aside in fear as they passed. This group was led by Jacy, accompanied by Hadar and Hunk, who felt frustrated watching Jacy's arrogant behavior. Both of their gazes glanced into Garfield out of a sudden, and their face turned stiff. "Hadar, is this Garfield? The one you had mentioned." Jacy noticed their gazes and asked in his smiling face. "Yes, It's him!" Hadar confirmed with a hint of anger. Garfield, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense something. He turned his head and saw Hadar's gaze, filled with cold killing intent. Then, Garfield's gaze fell on Jacy next to Hadar. Although Jacy had restrained his aura, Garfield's sharp eyes still saw through his cultivation level at a glance. Their gazes met in a sudden clash in the air. "Interesting," Jacy's eyes flashed. It was the first time he had seen someone who didn't avoid his gaze, especially someone as well-known in the academy as the waste who hadn't awakened his bloodline in years. Garfield just glanced at him indifferently, then turned away, ignoring him. "Garfield, that person just now is the son of Prince Wayne, Jacy. His cultivation is extremely high. It's said that he's just one step away from reaching the Earth level, similar to Hadar. "Prince Wayne holds immense power in the court, so many senior class students follow Jacy." Walfred and Jeff explained. Not only about to reach the Earth level, but this person is already an Earth-level powerhouse, Garfield thought to himself but didn't say it out loud. Earth-level martial artists still couldn't catch his attention. "Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's go, find a place to sit," Garfield smiled and walked toward the center of the square with Walfred and Jeff. Every disciple of the Skybert Academy must participate in the year-end examination. The Skybert Academy has more than ten classes, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced, with over a thousand disciples. With so many disciples gathered in the square, it seemed particularly noisy. On the field, experts from various powers in the capital, including some nobles and military leaders, all hurried over, forming various factions around the square. The Skybert Academy is the number one academy in the Quewyn. Various powers in the capital, royal relatives, nobles, and military leaders all send their children to the Skybert Academy. Every year, during the year-end examination, the academy also invites the parents of the students to come and watch. "Master Yanto, please come here," Lord Keighley smiled and gestured, leading Yanto to sit beside him. Lydia stood respectfully on the side. "Master Yanto, I didn't expect the son of Prince Wayne to break through to the Earth level. Do you think he will be a match for Lydia?" Since entering the square, Yanto had been looking at a certain corner of the square. Lord Keighley looked around with doubt and saw Jacy and his gang, he thought Yanto was focusing on Jacy, so he smiled and asked. "Oh?" Yanto was taken aback, then realized and said with a smile, "Jacy has extremely high talent. It will indeed be a bit difficult for Lydia to defeat him. However, my attention is not on him, but on a friend." Lord Keighley looked puzzled, "A friend?" He looked up but didn't see any particular student worth noting, and couldn't help but ask, "Which one is Master Yanto referring to?" Anyone referred to as a "friend" by Yanto must be extraordinary. "Is Master referring to Garfield?" Lydia suddenly spoke up, as she saw Garfield, and her heart suddenly stirred. Yanto smiled, his expression becoming serious, and earnestly advised, "Lydia, if you meet this person later, you must be polite and convey my greetings to him." Lydia's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, but she still respectfully said, "Yes, Master!" However, she was puzzled. Who exactly is this Garfield to garner such attention from her master? She remembered that when Garfield and her master left for a while in the Hall of Artifacts, upon their return, her master's attitude towards him had changed drastically. What exactly had transpired between her master and Garfield at that time?" "Lydia, who is this Garfield that Master Yanto mentioned?" Lord Keighley, completely unaware, asked in confusion. "Dad, it's Garfield from the Caspian House, the son of Grace!" "Him?" Lord Keighley was taken aback. He had indeed heard of Garfield, the illegitimate son of the Caspian House. It was said that he had yet to awaken his bloodline, but why would Master Yanto pay attention to such a young man? Yanto smiled without saying a word, just gazing at Garfield with a profound seriousness in his eyes. A month ago, after Garfield had visited the Hall of Artifacts, Yanto had secretly sent someone to investigate him. To Yanto's surprise, the remarkable Garfield from the Hall of Artifacts was actually an illegitimate son of the Caspian House, and to this day, he had not yet awakened his bloodline and was about to be expelled from the Skybert Academy. Furthermore, he had also discovered many grievances within the Caspian House, knowing that not long ago, Garfield had been expelled from his home by the Quickley family. "Such a young man, displaying astonishing talent in the way of artifact refining, even surpassing this Second Realm Weapon Master." "Where did he acquire such profound skills in artifact refining?" "Since he possesses such profound abilities in artifact refining, why has he been oppressed by the Quickley family to such an extent, living a life worse off than a servant?" "This young man surely holds earth-shattering secrets unknown to others!" A series of questions swirled in Yanto's mind. In his view, Garfield's performance in the Caspian House was definitely a deliberate act of hiding his true abilities. But regardless of Garfield's motives, the thought of that day's refining process filled Yanto with excitement, to the extent that he even felt an urge to apprentice himself to Garfield. Therefore, upon learning that today was the Skybert Academy's major assessment, Yanto promptly accepted Lord Keighley's invitation to come and observe, intending to find an opportunity to make contact with Garfield without provoking his displeasure. "Brother Wang, you've come to the Skybert Academy as well? Are you here to watch Lydia in the year-end assessment? Heh heh, with the talent of Lydia, she is bound to shine brightly in today's assessment!" At this moment, a frivolous voice suddenly rang in the ears of the group. They saw a middle-aged man with a bloated figure and a sycophantic expression walking over. It was none other than Prince Adam, Taddeo Cooper. Beside him stood a richly dressed woman with phoenix eyes and thin lips, Cora.
