Chapter 47 Royal Knights (4)

“It’s.”

Henry and Austin.

With the two in front of her, Melissa showed her admiration without hiding.

“Both of you have proven sufficient qualifications. Especially Henry, if it weren’t for you, I’d have missed a valuable talent. Austin should have been promoted earlier, too.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, too. But don’t I have to tell my father or my older brother? If I don’t hear from the family…….”

“Tell me what you want. I’ll do that for you.”

“I applied for the Class A test from the beginning, and I just barely passed with a pull-up.”

Melissa looked at Austin as if she were interested.

A child who tries to hide his or her achievement from his or her parents.

Furthermore, if the parents were of great nobility, it would be more interesting.

“May I ask why?”

“I’m not interested in leather seats.”

“I’ve heard that Duke Rodrick’s first Confucius has proved himself well qualified.”

“The idiots who follow me just want their positions reversed. Sometimes, the way I look at myself is shiny like a fanatic. If you hear this news, it’ll probably get worse.”

Melissa nodded slowly.

I thought I knew.

Usually, the situation within the family was hard to tell, but I wanted to hide it enough.

“I promise on my honor. The exact facts will never be conveyed to the family.”

“Thank you again.”

“And Henry Camilton.”

“Yes.”

Melissa’s eyes again turned to Henry.

In fact, the real hero of this place was Henry.

To be honest, Austin had the upper hand in terms of the test results, but the time it took to grow was different.

“Now I’m gonna have to double check. I’m planning to organize you in class A from next class. You can take it now, right?”

“Of course, thank you for your consideration.”

“Fortunately, Austin has already agreed, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

As of this moment, both of them were in class A.

As soon as the rumor spread, it was news that would make the Academy flutter.

But without stopping there, Melissa offered one more suggestion.

“I also want to ask you both a question. Actually, I didn’t mean to tell you in advance, but I was worried about Henry’s reaction yesterday. I concluded that it would be safer to tell them in advance.”

“I’ll listen carefully.”

“We are planning to have him join the Royal Order immediately after graduation from the Academy. It’s a suggestion for both of you, and I’ll make sure it’s confidential, too. At least until I join the club.”

The last one was for Austin.

I don’t want to spread the fact that I’m going to join the Royal Knights because I want to hide that I’m in class A.

But contrary to Melissa’s expectation.

“I’m in a bit of a bind.”

Austin calmly refused.

“I’m going to be a wandering knight. It’s my goal in life to travel around the world freely. That’s why I don’t want to tell the family.”

“…Wandering Knight?”

“I can’t afford that honor. And he’s not faithful to chivalry. It’s just a little boat chasing things I’m interested in. The Knights of the Crown aren’t just a group of people who can get in just because they’re good, right?

Melissa was dumbfounded by the way she was so confidently undermining herself.

I’ve hosted many tests so far, and I’ve never experienced this before.

They were the only ones who desperately wanted to join the team, and very occasionally, Melissa even shed tears of emotion when she gave her suggestion first.

“Well, then…….”

Melissa’s eyes turned to the side.

To Henry Camilton with a face that doesn’t even show any emotion.

The answer returned, as feared.

“I don’t think I can decide right now.”

“…huh.”

“I know it’s a valuable opportunity. But there’s a reason I can’t tell you yet, and it’s a priority for me to solve the problem.”

A polite but determined voice.

Henry said, as if there were unbreakable beliefs.

Of course, I mentioned Austin earlier, so it sounded to Melissa as though Henry’s “reason” had something to do with chivalry.

“I can’t tell you why.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I can do quite a lot for you, Henry Camilton. Problems usually don’t seem to be a problem, depending on who they are.”

“It must be done with my own hands.”

“…as a knight, right?

“Yes.”

“I can’t help it.”

A sigh of resignation escaped.

It has been a long time since I was caught in the symbolic existence of chivalry.

Melissa was also a member of the Honorable Royal Knights, but in the end, honor was an abstract being that each felt differently.

“I don’t intend to take any more time away. But this offer is valid until you graduate, so if the problem is solved, let me know anytime. The same goes for Austin.”

“Yes.”

“I’m not the problem…….”

“If the meaning changes, I correct it to ‘.”

“Thank you.”

Austin grinned, and Henry was serious.

Melissa left with a look of what a ridiculous thing to do.

It was more of a distraction than unpleasantness.

But on the contrary.

“Henry!”

As soon as Melissa disappeared, Austen looked at Henry with her eyes wide open.

“You’re so…….”

“Don’t bother me. I’m tired.”

“You’re a great guy!”

“That’s it for today.”

“It’s easy to put up with a day, Henry. Anyway, class A now. It’s a lot different from the life I planned.… Actually, this isn’t bad either. I’ve been thinking about leaving early after graduation.”

“Before you reach out to the family?”

Austin nodded his head.

I thought it would be better to leave far beyond my reach than to hesitate half-heartedly.

If there’s no one to lean on in the first place, you can’t do anything about it, even if you’re bothered.

“Although the risk was too big to run. It would have taken at least two months to get from class C to class B and from class B to class A again. I have to take two tests. But thanks to you Henry…….”

“It ended in one go. If you’re satisfied, do me a few favors later.”

“Not one?”

“If it’s worth it, one will be enough. I don’t think I’ll ever have to ask such a big favor.”

“Very calculating…….”

“When are you planning to graduate?”

“As soon as possible. There’s no other option now that we’ve come this far. It’s not time to try to hide it half-heartedly.”

It was a statement full of confidence that if he showed all his skills, he could achieve enough results.

Henry nodded as if he knew it would happen.

“Then let’s do that. How did you deal with the rock giant?”

“Rock giant? There’s only one way.”

Austin squinted his eyes in wonderfully.

To Henry, who had no doubt, Austin spoke as if it were natural.

“I found the cornerstone and destroyed it. So you’re Lord Petricia? The exam ended with him coming……why do you look at me like that?”

“How long have you been hiding your skills?”

“I hid a little too much. I heard blood isn’t going anywhere. That’s what I expect from the things that stick to me. Anyway, skill is the most important thing for a knight.”

“What if I measure it correctly?”

“Three stars. I told you a while ago that I caught a rock giant, but my eyes are unique. All I have to do is find the most dynamic place in that giant body where Mana wiggles.”

Austin was speaking as if it were simple, but in fact, it was possible because it was at the level of a three-star article.

No sharp sword can penetrate the body of a rock giant unless enough mana is loaded.

“…….”

“Why are your eyes so surprised? Didn’t you catch him, too?”

“I got you.”

“It’s not a lie. You really caught me, did you underestimate me?”

“It was more than I expected.”

“You’re serious, too. Then it’s a pleasure. Your friend was more than I thought.”

Henry stood up without answering.

If you are a three-star driver, you can graduate from the academy with your eyes closed.

No matter what the assignment is given, you’ll be able to get the best results.

Three stars.

Henry was now a first-star knight.

Mana Liang has reached the second star thanks to the gift from Russo, but the rest of his abilities are not yet up to the standard.

‘Physical training is enough to fill in elements like sword skills. If you use all the donations you’ve collected…….’

Henry calculated in his head.

I didn’t think of any additional donations, but only the amount available right now.

I can do up to three-star initiation. If it’s the same trend right now, we’ll have enough time for about a month. If you give up your proficiency in other weapons.’

Austin, who hunted the rock giant, said three stars.

Henry himself had a similar ability, although there was a “snow” that led to generations of the family.

“It’s possible.”

“……What’s possible all of a sudden?”

“There’s something like that.”

Henry, who was given a rough word, left the test site.

I was going to go to Russo to prepare for the upcoming call of the dean.

But then.

“Henry Camilton!”

An unwelcome face appeared smiling.

Bain Timothy.

The marquee’s son of a bitch approached him with an air of praise and tapped Henry on the shoulder.

“I’ve heard the results roughly. I heard it was great.

“What the hell is this?”

“What do you mean, this? We’re about to be a family. If there’s any bad feeling left, just shake it off. I’ve forgotten all about your rudeness.”

“Disrespectful? You beat up all the men you dragged?”

Henry smiled and asked questions, and at the same time Austin smiled as if he knew the situation and took a step back.

Only Bain had a slightly puzzled look.

“I think the expression of being beaten is somewhat illogical.….”

“I can see some familiar faces back there. What do you think?”

Even now, Bain had dragged his gang.

Some of the people who were hit by Henry the other day looked in trouble, and others who didn’t know the situation looked awkwardly at each other.

“You’re making a mistake, Henry. It’s not a wise choice to ruin things with the feelings of the moment.”

“I’m sure you ruined my mood. Do you want to go now or do you want to do what we did last time?

“To the future master…….”

“One more time. I ask for a duel, Vane Timothy. The witnesses will be with the friends you brought, and Austin over here will be enough. I’m willing to take the future course of action.….”

The Academy had such a system.

As the name was a knight trainee, he was able to formally apply for a duel in the event of a dispute.

There are two conditions.

There should be at least three witnesses, and the duel subjects should be in the same class.

Of course, right and wrong were not determined as a result of the duel, and in fact, it could be seen that a relatively better method was introduced to prevent simple assault accidents.

The punishment was definitely less than a random fight.

And of course.

“I refuse, it’s an unfair condition. You are already in class B…….”

“I’m still in class C.”

It was also possible to refuse.

Anyway, this duel was a procedure that was introduced by the Academy to try to reduce the unpleasantness.

Instead, the person who refused had to avoid the position, and no matter how unfair the situation was, the only way to report it to the Academy was to officially later.

“If you’re not going to do it, get out of here. The blood of a great man knows no honor…What are you doing not going?”

It couldn’t have been possible.

Bain turned around and backed away as he gritted his teeth.

You’ll be punished by the Academy if you try harder here.

“Ben, Bain……”.”

“Shut up. Don’t say more. I can’t stand it any longer. If Lord Sanson hadn’t stopped me, I wouldn’t have been insulted!”

As soon as he returned to his quarters, Bain wrote to the family.

As a poster, he used magic tools to exchange content immediately.

What I expected was a reply from a loyal knight who said he would come running right away.

Keep your mouth shut and shut up. You are not Timothy until you graduate from the Academy. You’re such a lowlife who doesn’t know how to look at things!

The return was a letter filled with anger written by the Marquis Timothy himself.
