Chapter 526 Children’s Competition

Chapter 526 Children's Competition?

After Vicente said goodbye to Ian, he made his way alongside Nina and Eve, quickly arriving at the registration area for the selection process for the Royal Academy of Saltstar City.

The registration hall was crowded at the moment, with many local Barons, Viscounts, and Counts there with their sons and daughters. At the same time, other wealthy people from the province also made their presence felt.

Given the presence of powerful local influences, groups of adults quickly formed, with several individuals beginning to talk about business and other matters unrelated to the day's events.

Vicente soon joined one of the lines that led to the leaders in the area, as he observed many locally known figures among complete strangers to him.

"I didn't expect so many important people to be here today." He commented to Nina and Eve as he watched the older people laughing and chatting while the young people crowded around.

Some of them seemed to be talking just like their parents, talking about their opportunities and future alliances. Others just talked about kids their age, the academy, where they came from, and how eager they were to join the Royal Academy.

Nina looked at many of these young people and felt that she might soon become a colleague to some of them.

As she did so, other young people looked at her, some curious about where this pretty girl came from, others not recognizing her figure and associating her with another who would fail the selection.

The selection process at any Royal Academy was very strict. Few had a chance to succeed. Not just anyone from the countryside had a chance to pass the Royal Academy selection!

"Tsk! Does she think she can do well here just because she did well in that garbage town called Millfall?" A blonde girl looked at Nina with an angry expression on her face.

Next to the nine-year-old girl were two of her and Nina's classmates from the academy where Vice's sister was finishing her basic studies in this city.

"Anything is possible. There are cases of people who passed the academy selection even though they came from villages..." A young blond man commented. "I don't doubt at all that she will pass. She seems quite intelligent to me."

"Are you crazy? She's just a country bumpkin!" The young blonde said as she looked at her friend.

"She's pretty beautiful to me." The young man commented to his brown-haired friend, not letting the blonde hear him.

"Lara, good luck." Nina smiled at the blonde, imagining that this blonde was the one who needed it.

Lara looked at Nina angrily, but at that moment, her mother's hand rested on one of her shoulders.

"That girl has a lot of attitude... She's as hot-headed as her father." The blonde woman said with a smile on her face as she looked at Vicente.

Vicente understood his mother's attitude and saw no problem. "This is children's business. Don't worry. I'm not interested in their little disagreements. As long as she doesn't cross the line, Nina will deal with her challenges on her own."

"I appreciate your understanding, Mr. Fuller." The woman said as she gestured a greeting to Vicente.

Vicente thanked her before seeing the blonde girl give him an ugly look and then complain to her mother.

"Mom, why did you embarrass me like that?" Lara asked as her mother pulled her away.

"Tsk! Girl, don't be stupid!" The blonde woman changed her attitude 180 degrees as she moved away from Vicente.

Vicente didn't know her, but this woman had heard of him, and she was strong enough to understand the difference between the levels of people in this area.

Vicente was one of the eight people she couldn't fathom out of everyone there!

"That girl's older brother is much stronger than me and your father! Don't make trouble with someone you don't know." Her mother advised, giving Lara a reality check.

"This..."

Meanwhile, Vicente massaged one of his sisters' shoulders and said, "You handled the situation well. Other people will try to confront you in the future, even attack you. You always need to be calm and know how to behave.

Sometimes, you can put people like that in their place by using your power or influence. But sometimes you must put your head down and accept whatever it is. That's life."

"All right, big brother. I'll remember that." Nina commented before it was finally her turn to sign up for the exam.
