I Favor the Villainess

What impression would you have of the term Knights?

Many will think of the inflexible gentlemen dressed in full plate armor.

Of course, there is such a presence in this "Revolution" world.

However, this is a little before the moment.

The warriors under the kingdom are called the army, not the Knights.

The army is primarily responsible for policing and defence and is driven by, for example, conflicts with neighboring Nah Empire, where relations are now deteriorating.

The equipment is generally not full-plated armor, but overwhelmingly made of skins and fabrics that emphasize mobility.

This has greatly diminished the need for heavy protective equipment due to the development of demonic props.

Demonic props have often been used in attacks and defenses.

Of course, there are full plates and magic props.

However, those things are so expensive that very few could put them together.

gossip.

Why did you talk about the Knights...

"For this reason, this year, candidates shall also be given a selection exam to the Knights of the College"

College lecture room on Saturday.

It was Lady Laurek-Kugret, the current Knights of the College, who said that in front of the students.

Some of you may have thought it was a second name, but Kugret is the home of one of Claire's surroundings.

The Kugret family is a Takemen lineage, one of the most prestigious houses in the military.

It is also a house that realized the importance of magic as soon as possible within the kingdom and maintained its strength even after the introduction of magic by asking for teachings from Dr. Tread.

I don't know much about Loretta, but I don't know much about her either.

However, my brother, Lady Laurek, is a sivmen with a teasing personality like cracked bamboo.

Lady Laurek refers to the Knights of the College as an autonomous organization within the Royal College.

It consists of several students selected from among the graduate students. It has comparable authority to teachers if they are the top students.

Traditionally, royalty often belongs, and elitist conscious internal integration groups admire it, so to speak, as if adding the student council and the wind discipline commissioner did not divide it by two.

Of course, in the name of the Knights of the College, I also participate in combat when things happen, so it's not just an honorary position.

I'll take it, of course.

Master Rod named first.

Well, if you hear about these college superior organizations, Master Rod challenges you, doesn't he?

"I'll take it too."

Master Yu also named himself.

Princess-like you, but never less capable of combat.

The magic treatment is normal, but he has a protective technique that was planted from an early age.

Sayne, you too.

"... that's a pain in the ass, honestly"

Master Rod slaps me in the butt, and Master Sein, no, no. Hands up.

Because of his character, he wouldn't want to join an organization or anything that said this, but he wouldn't dress up if the prince didn't.

"I appreciate the princes' participation. Please do your best for the exam. Anyone else?

"I'll try, too."

It was Lady Claire who raised her hand.

"Dear Claire...... But isn't it a little heavy on your lady?

"That's not true. Sure, not to men in muscle strength or anything, but given the magical handling and everyday clerical skills, I should be well qualified to take it, too."

To be honest, Master Claire was magnificent.

The Knights Commander of Laurek College seemed to have been on a bit of a tour, but there was enough to be the chief, soon enough, he agreed.

"Then so am I."

I ran for it, too.

If Lady Claire's going, of course I'm going.

Because of love.

By the way, in the game, it was also possible not to take the exam, depending on the choice of options.

When I raised my hand, Master Claire looked blatantly disgusted.

"You can't do this."

"Is that what Lady Claire said when she lost to me outside of courtesy in the exam immediately after school?

"Kee! You can't lose your next exam, so watch!

Master Claire has zero sedition resistance.

Yeah, yeah, she's cute today.

"Misha, take it, too. In the unlikely event that this civilian receives it, you will need someone to hold the reins, won't you?

"I'm not Ray's guardian..."

Master Claire told me, and Misha raised her hand as well.

Several other students raised their hands, and Master Laurek handed out the exam outline when he took note of the name.

"The exam starts tomorrow, Sunday morning. Exam items are two things: clerical and magical. Keep an eye out for details in the outline. Now if you'll excuse me."

That's what Lady Laurek walked away from.

"Well, the Knights of the Academy can't decide on a coward like you."

Dear Claire, I'm going to raise my jaw hard and throw my hate at you.

Speaking of which, I loved the way it looked, even though I thought it was going great today.

"Ray to Claire, you're looking forward to getting Misha, too."

"Dear Rod..."

"We have to work hard, Brother Sein."

"I don't care"

Three princes came.

Master Rod, who has plenty of room, Yu, who seems confident of what is not so far, Sain and Trinity, who seem to be bothered by the bottom of their heart.

"You really don't get bumpy. You don't admire the Knights of the Academy, do you?

"Yeah, 'cause I want to be with Master Claire."

"I knew it."

It is Misha the hard-working man who tells him to do it with his sigh.

It would be just fine for her.

Though I wouldn't be out of hand because of her character more than I would take it.

"Do you know what an exam means to be tested, Master Rod? I've only heard you try your affairs and your magic."

Master Claire asked Master Rod.

As I mentioned earlier, it is a well-known fact that royalty belongs to the College Knights for generations, so I guess I thought there was some know-how.

"I can't tell you that. Opportunities need to be fair. Well, tomorrow, you'll see. I'll be ready in advance, and I won't be able to do much tomorrow."

"That's right."

Conversations have been exchanged, for example, but I naturally know what the game is about.

Exams are divided into written exams on affairs and practical exams on combat.

Written exams ask for knowledge of college rules and administrative work, which is simply what the virtues of procedure say.

When I say college rules, it's an issue that I can solve if I know the general rules of group activity, so it doesn't make much difference here.

Knowledge of administrative work was not so twisted either.

The question is from the practical exam.

I hear that the practical exams were previously tested for the handling of weapons such as swords and spears.

Since magic has become the mainstream technology of war, the specific gravity has shifted to how good it is at handling magic.

As I wrote before, magical talent depends on innate qualities and not on personality.

Since the test method changed, the proportion of nobles and civilians in the Knights of the College seems to have increased considerably in the latter.

However, civilians do not see the honor of joining the College Knights so heavily that they tend to take less selection exams in the first place.

What matters to the civilian population is the official registration exam, and many are not happy that the time spent studying for it is taken into the activities of the Knights of the College.

Well, it's more profitable than honor, isn't it?

This is what Claire said when she blurred to think of it.

"Civilians, it's a battle!

I'm out.

Dear Claire, you're a good fighter.

The first exam is followed by a second battle.

"If you do not receive the Knights of the College, leave the College"

"Uh, no?

"So why don't you think about it a little bit!?

'Cause that's what happened during the previous battle, but it doesn't do me any good.

I think the heroine in the game is something I used to hang out with in return.

Well, it's fun to play with Master Claire.

"You have no choice. Then let's go on the same terms this time."

"Wait a minute. Are you going to catch me again?

Shit, did you remember?

"Well, I'm not being mean like that. Simply if I fall, Master Claire loses. If I take it, what do you mean, my win?

"Ok... that's not good!? Either way, it's not my loss!?

Shit, did you notice that?

"You have no choice. If I fall, Master Claire wins. If I take it, let's hit it with my win."

"If I receive, my victory, shouldn't I?

"Master Claire will take it. That's the only thing Claire wins is too bad minutes."

Anyway, Master Claire is bound to take it.

I knew it earlier, so I wouldn't make it a condition of battle.

"Fine. What if you win?

"Just like before, you will hear one thing I say"

"Fine."

"Yes, I did. So, it's a battle."

As before, I made an oath to God to Misha.

This is how we came to the Knights of the College Selection Exam.
