Chapter 1957 - Don’t Wear Them Again (2/2)

“It was just a whim! I thought it was an opportunity for my students to compare themselves with the most talented young Mage in the world! That way, we would be able to protect the Parthenon Temple and the Goddess better!” Lido blurted out.

“Then who taught them they could take off their knight’s coats on a whim!?” Norman suddenly altered his tone. It felt like the mountain was trembling, as if it had just been struck by lightning!

Norman’s roar shocked the rest of the crowd. The Blue Star Knights who were still conscious and howling in pain quickly knelt on the ground.

Their coats were not something they could wear and take off as they pleased!

Norman was not angry because the knights were competitive, nor was he disappointed by their behavior. However, they were not supposed to take off their coats under any circumstances. Losing and being defeated was not the greatest humiliation for a knight. They had brought themselves shame by proclaiming they were taking off their coats to defend the pride and dignity of the knights!

Norman had been at the training ground the whole time, and had witnessed everything from the very beginning. When the Blue Star Knights volunteered to resign just to teach Mo Fan a lesson, Norman had an urge to toss them all down the mountain so they would be smashed into a pile of mud. Did no one teach them they were not allowed to forfeit their identities as knights, even when someone was placing a blade on their neck?

Was this still the Hall of Knights he knew? The management was corrupt and the fresh blood was acting like a bunch of good-for-nothing arrogant young men. They were not paying any respect to the rules of conduct of knighthood. If these unreliable young Mages were the future of the Hall of Knights, they were only going to lead it to destruction!

“Those who took off their coats won’t be wearing them again. You will be reporting for duty at the Hall of Faith starting tomorrow.” Norman did not show any mercy.

“Combat Officer Norman, we…we…”

The Blue Star Knights almost lost their minds.

It was not easy to become a knight. They had not solely relied on their backgrounds, but had to stand out among the competition too! Becoming a Blue Star Knight was only the first step. They would soon surpass other Mages their ages if they had more time to practice. However, they had lost everything because of this duel!

“Norman…” Mo Fan glanced at Kris and immediately had an urge to advise against it.

“Mister Mo Fan, this has nothing to do with you. The Hall of Knights has its rules. I never expected the Hall of Knights to become the strongest in the world, yet it must have the strongest faith and determination!” Norman stated clearly.

Mo Fan wanted to plea for leniency because Kris had also taken off his coat. Norman was going to dismiss Kris together with the rest of the Blue Star Knights! Mo Fan could not care less about the rest. Those scum should not hold on to the limited positions available in the Hall of Knights. There were still a lot of talented Mages out there waiting for their chances!

However, Norman was obviously not going to listen to Mo Fan, even though he had saved the man’s life before. Norman was grateful to Mo Fan, yet he had zero tolerance when it came to disciplining the knights!

Norman had not managed the Hall of Knights actively for several years. He was wondering whether he should head off to other places or stay at the Parthenon Temple after he fully recovered from his injuries.

He was heartbroken and furious after watching the duel.

The others might only treat it as a reckless decision and an embarrassing incident, but Norman had seen the fall of the Hall of Knights there in it.

If he left now, it would be even worse once these people took over the Hall of Knights in five to ten years.

He decided to stay!
