Exams for the Hults to become C-level adventurers, roughly a week ago.
Keel, who is deputy captain of the Knights of the Kingdom, had been summoned to Knights headquarters.
Twentieth unit, this is Keel.
"Ooh. Get in."
When Keel walked into one of the rooms at Knights headquarters, there was a musculoskeletal man waiting for him with a big scratch on his face. The man is the head of the Knights of the Kingdom. At the head of the Knights of the Kingdom to which Keel and Gad belong, he is said to be the strongest knight in this country.
"Excuse me."
"I'm sorry to call you. If it's true, I'd like to call you and this captain..."
A captain, Gad, ignores a call from Knights headquarters. Keel participated as captain surrogate every time, as Gad would not even be at the Knights' captain's meeting or anything.
"No, I'm used to it already. That's right. Our troops aren't supposed to be doing anything these days?
When he is summoned to Knights headquarters.
That was most likely if something went wrong with the Twentieth Corps crew.
So Keel gets a little anxious that the crew might have done something he doesn't know.
A troublesome group of people who are better at combat than any other unit, but cause a lot more problems than that - that's the twentieth unit of the Knights of the Kingdom. In that, Keel was a relatively decent figure.
Nevertheless, he himself pushes troublesome work to Gado within the troops, or plays with women by waving the Knights' glory. It looks decent if you look at the whole unit, but Keel also falls into the scumbag category as a person.
"This call is not about your captain or your troop's problematic behavior. The exam director of an adventurer who goes up to class C has come to you this time. That's the contact."
Hearing the knight captain's words, Keel was horrified.
"Was I? I understand.... But why, to that extent, did the captain call me?
As much as the notification that the role of study supervisor has been turned, it should be left to the user. I took it for some reason that I had bothered to call and contact Keel about that.
"Hmm. The people taking this exam are a little special."
"Special," he said?
"I haven't been informed of the details, but they're important people in this country."
"… you mean him for convenience so that he can pass the exam? You know the captain, but I don't think our captain is the right one."
Previously, a noble son bribed Gad and told him to pass the promotion exam. Gad, who didn't care about that attitude, had bummed his son out during the exam.
Failure to accept a bribe is the right thing to do as a member of the Knights of the Kingdom... The fact that I did too much to my aristocratic opponents made it quite problematic.
Gad only acts the way he wants to, no matter who he is. Even an exam taker who is important to the country, there is no way that Gado will be able to degrade it. If Gad doesn't like him, there's nothing Keel can do.
"No, that's not what I meant. Instead, they can fight as hard as they can. Instructions came to me to get the strongest guy possible to the test supervisor. So I decided to entrust this supervisor to Gado, the strongest of the free captains."
Keel has doubts about the words of this Knight Commander.
Gado is scumbag, but strong.
The level of fighting each other with the Knights Commander as well.
Plus he's not only strong, he's brutal, and he doesn't forgive anyone he doesn't like. Push them into a situation where they can't escape, twitching and twitching.
Tell Gad like that, fight as hard as you can.
"... I'm in awe. I'll tell the captain about the exam supervisor."
Keel realized there was something behind it, but he didn't dare touch it.
And after he leaves Knights headquarters, he starts acting to find out what's behind him.

Keel had since come to the Ifrus School of Magic.
A student at this school said he was taking this exam.
By the way, he hasn't been granted admission to the school.
He used his special skills to deceive even Luano the Sage's surveillance magic and broke in here.
Keel is also a Knights member, but he had connections with the (...) people behind Glendale. I came here after using the information network behind it and doing some research on the information on the subjects.
"Hult-Ernor. Three sons of Count Silveray, brother of King's SS Chief Cain...... I see. Is that what happened?"
Keel squeaks as he checks Hart's mansion from afar.
Keel was picking up signs of the mighty from Hart's mansion. I was easily convinced that he was (...) Cain's brother. At the same time, understand why the supervision of this promotion exam has turned to the twentieth unit.
"This is probably the captain, you've been dumped as a pawn"
Gad who has the power, but doesn't try to hear any orders. He was such a troublemaker that the Knights intended to cut him off.
But Keel had a good understanding of Gad's strength.
I was proud of the strength of my captain, somewhere in my heart.
"Aren't you underestimating the power of our captain?
Just like Gado, Cain is called the Glendale Four. Though that brother, I don't think Hart has the power to be cain-like.
"... well. If you say you can do everything you can, let the upper echelons of the country regret it. And..."
Keel's eyes showed Luna drying her laundry in the garden of Hart's mansion.
"This time, it's a pretty good hit. The captain must be motivated."
Keel thought that if Gad did well, he could benefit from it too. He burned Luna in his eyes and left the spot behind.
