His majesty the pope who spreads the holy light (16)

After several days of continuous travelling, Lu Heng and Ionas finally arrived at Maple Leaf City in the Principality of Kesen. Maple Leaf City was an adjoining commercial and residential area surrounding on Maple Leaf College. It provided various commercial services for Maple Leaf College.
At this time, the enrollment season of Maple Leaf College was already over, but he needed to enter Maple Leaf College. It was necessary to seek alternative paths, but Maple Leaf College was not a place where the Pope could intervene. The people who believed in the light God had their own special seminary. Maple Leaf College was jointly controlled by the Association of Mages, the Alliance of Soldiers, the Academic Palace and the Chambers of Commerce. Even as a pope, Lu Heng could not influence Maple Leaf College.
However, ever since this plan was proposed, Lu Heng naturally had a plan in mind. He stood at the door of Maple Leaf City Magistrates’Association, holding a badge in his hand, and went in. The appearance of a priest in a white robe in the Association of Mages was quite strange and attracted the attention of many mages.
“Good day, sir. I’d like to see the head of this department.” Lu Heng went to the mage who was sitting behind the table and was responsible for accepting the mage’s certification.
The head of Maple Leaf City Mage’s Association was a magic teacher. The moment he heard that someone came to look for someone with the sacred badge of the crimson tower, he did not dare to delay any more and rushed to introduce the usher in the guest to the back room.
After carefully verifying the authenticity of the badge, the magic instructor asked, “What can help you with? Maple Leaf City Mage’s Association here at your service.”
“Excuse me, but is there any way to contact the Holy Saint Hugh?” Lu Heng asked.
The Master mage used the extremely efficient array and contacted the Crimson Tower at Maple Leaf College. The Crimson Tower soon sent someone to take Lu Heng and his party to the college.
Holy Saint Hugh was over 500 years old and Eddie was his favorite grandson. Since the other person was Eddie’s savior and benefactor, it was natural to treat them with courtesy.
“Good day, you two.” Holy Saint Hugh greeted, “What can I do to help you?”
“I’d like your help with something. Ionas wanted to go to Maple Leaf College, but he missed the admission season of Maple Leaf College because of some accidental circumstances.” Lu Heng continued, “I believe you know that even if you miss a single year, it will be a great loss for young people with excellent talent.”
Holy Saint Hugh looked at Ionas: “Although I am only the dean of the Mages division, I am friends with War Saint Luke.”
With the recommendation of War Saint Luke, Ionas soon qualified for the entrance examination. Despite the recommendation of the dean of the division, it was still necessary to pass the qualification test if one wanted to formally enter the school.
The entrance examination office at the entrance of Maple Leaf College after the admission season was always the most desolate. Today, however, it suddenly became lively again. After all, the entrance examination office, which had been closed for several months, suddenly opened again. Experienced seniors knew at a glance that someone with a special recommendation was going to be admitted.
“I heard that this man was recommended by War Saint Luke. I don’t know which noble family of the empire this young master belongs to.”
War Saint Luke came from a Marquis family of the Bega Empire, and paid quite a bit of attention to the noble children from the Empire. That’s why these students speculated like this.
“Even if it’s War Saint’s recommendation, if it’s a waste, they can’t pass the entrance test and would waste that special recommendation.” A strong student said, “The nobles of the Bega Empire, who are too busy for pleasure, have very little to offer.”
“John, are you so sour because your brother missed the admission season?” Someone in the crowd sneered.
“You!” The student named John was punched painfully and wanted to punch impulsively, but was pulled by the people around him.
“Fifty points would be deducted for private fights within the college, you are forgetting this! Do you want to be demoted to level three?
“Wow! Top-level fighting ability!”
“Those that have that don’t need to accumulate credits to get into the top class. I envy them.”
The ones who were arguing there were also instantly distracted when they looked at some of the qualification test stones that were exposed to the outside world. After all, the special class of Maple Leaf College was known as the cradle of the War Saint. Once one enters the special class, as long as there is no accidental fall, they would reach the rank of a master swordsman or a master magician at the very least.
