graduation?

Li Ke was silent for a moment, then broke free from the general's palm, continued to lower his head and pick in the barbecue, looking for clean meat to come out.

"How many people do I want to kill this time?"

What kind of graduation ceremony is just a killing of people again, and many people are killed.

"50 fully armed Frelljords."

The general said in a very happy tone that it was undoubtedly a death penalty for Li Ke. After he said this, such an idea instantly appeared in Li Ke's mind.

How sure am I to hijack him here now?

But when he looked at the iron armor that the general almost never took off and the magician behind him, Li Ke gave up the idea of ​​hijacking the general and then escaping from here.

Because there is no possibility at all. Even if I really catch this general, the mage next to me will order them to be killed together, rather than throwing a gambler to allow myself to escape.

This is not a question of what power, on the contrary, this magician is a fanatical admirer of the general. But it is precisely because of this that he did not hesitate to do what Li Ke thought. And why...

They are Noxus.

Moreover, the chains on his body were enough to make the general kill him when he did it himself.

"What? Are you scared?"

The general sat on another stool, took off his gloves, took out a piece of barbecue with bones from the barbecue in front of Li Ke, and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

“I never had the right to refuse.”

Li Ke didn't know if he could survive. Perhaps he would fight hard now and fight with his biggest enemy for a while, which would be the best ending.

After all, 50 people, fully armed, are still Frelljord warriors. Even if I have that ability, how could I win? This is not a question of whether I can do it, but it is impossible.

"Ha, that's the condition you never could refuse me."

After the general finished speaking, the servant on one side put a gorgeous parchment on the table so that Li Ke, who was burying his head to eat, could see the contents on it.

"I know you are not very proficient in Noxus' writing, so I'll explain it to you."

General Jun pointed some parchment paper with his clean hands, and the confident smile that Li Ke hated the most appeared on his face.

"This scroll will give you freedom."

free?

This word made Li Ke stop eating, and raised his head to look at the general who turned himself into a slave.

"As long as you can defeat those 50 Frelljords, I will give you freedom... Of course, you and I will not be so naive. Freedom has limitations and costs, and I believe you understand this."

The general of the fortress looked at the warriors he trained and sucked the last bit of bone marrow on his bones. After eating the last trace of meat, he said this under Li Ke's gaze.

"After all, you know how much effort I have put in to cultivate you."

Yes, great effort.

Li Ke couldn't help clenching his fists.

Swordsmanship, bowing, riding, axes, spears, and even fists fighting, these are all taught by the man in front of me, the Noxusian general. And it is not limited to this, how to please the audience in the arena, please those ladies, words, music, poetry, and even the knowledge and etiquette of the court. These are all taught, and they are the kind of teaching that is wholehearted and without any concealment.

So no matter how much Li Ke hated him, he had to admit this fact. During this period, the man in front of him taught himself how to become a perfect gladiator in Noxus, and under the threat of death, he was forced to absorb this knowledge like a sponge.

However, he will never forget the suffering he suffered when he was learning this knowledge.

As long as you fail to complete the learning task according to the man's requirements, you will be thrown into the arena to face opponents who exceed their abilities. Fight with them for survival to gain the other party's "understanding".

Is this over? No, even if he won the fight and did not complete the learning task, he would have been waiting for whipping. If he hadn't had the power he gained at the critical moment of life and death during the first fight, he would have died in this fortress long ago.

The kind of power to extract life and strengthen oneself.

It sounds 'evil', doesn't it?

"I made you and a great gladiator. Although you have not yet obtained honors for me in the arena of Noxus, I believe that you will definitely surpass Veszero!"

He pushed the contract to Li Ke.

"But, Veszero's final result in the mincing competition was 150 people, and then he disappeared on the battlefield and could not complete the 300 people challenge. So, as long as you can kill the 50 Freljodes, you can get free in the future and turn from a slave into a free gladiator. Yes, this is the price of freedom. I don't care what you think. My dear immortal, I just hope that a person who surpasses Veszero will appear from my hands and break his record! Become the strongest gladiator in the true sense!"

The general relaxed after saying this, but his eyes still flashed with enthusiasm and excitement.

"For this, I am willing to return the freedom to you! I will return the most perfect work! Because a true gladiator will step into the grand arena full of glory by himself!"

glory?

All I see is death and the oppression of the strong on the weak.

The gladiator from modern society looked at the excited general expressionlessly, and seemed to see the lives that were killed by him in his eyes.

He had to kill people every day during these days, and either the vicious criminal or the captured Freljord warriors, and all of them were promised that as long as he was killed, he could gain freedom.

“I never had the right to refuse.”

Sighing, Li Ke just looked at the contract and said this to the general again.

"Ha, just like I said, you can't refuse my offer."

The general knew that his conditions touched Li Ke's heart. After all, if he could survive, who would choose to die?

He saw it very clearly that what gladiators desire most is freedom and life, as well as money and glory that are enough to squander them. And now he has handed over the keys of freedom and life to Li Ke, and the rest is just to use money and glory to let him understand how good it is to be a Noxusian and how wonderful it is to be a gladiator.

But the premise is that he has to pass his graduation ceremony and his greatest test.
