A few weeks have passed since the day Ain first hunted.

Two ships of Istalika headed to the Principality of Euro, one of which returned to Istalika.

One of the two ships returned home after completing the prescribed work, as the main ship was loading materials and other necessary supplies.

Warren, who compiled a report from a civilian aboard the returning ship, is coming to report to the Silvers.

So you can actually mine sea crystals, Warren.

"The quality of sea crystals from the Principality of Euro is also a practical endurance, and there are no particular problems with mining. If so, we can move on to work as planned."

Silvado and the others had been briefed while checking the sea crystals from the Principality of Euro, brought in by Warren.

There were no problems with the quality of sea crystals with regard to their use in demonic props, and enough was brought from the Principality of Euro as a sample.

"This is a superimposition, Your Majesty. As long as we don't have a problem with the quality of sea crystals, we'll be happy to think about what lies ahead."

"Uhm. Let's also hope we find a new mining site"

"... and Warren. Are we done with the report?

"No, I still have it. Of course, I have received a letter from Lord Amur, and I would like to ask His Majesty to sign his approval."

"You know and you're delaying the conversation. The Lord..."

Silvard had one thing that really bothered him.

It is about the Grand Dukes of Augusto. Grand aristocrats who have bothered to contact us via Euro and wish to cross to Ishtarica.

He said he cared about the flowers Ein received, he was concerned about the granddaughter of the Grand Duke.

"You won't have much trouble bullying His Majesty later, Lord Warren?

"Ha ha. Well, I would also like to report on the Grand Duke of Augusto, which Your Majesty may be concerned about."

"Always a troubled minister."

Warren laughs a little, takes out a piece of paperwork and looks at it and reports it.

"Krone Augusto. The year will be on top of Dear Ein's four"

"Go on."

"The results of the exploration. The third prince of Heim is unofficially present, but he asked to marry him."

"Hmm?"

"That's been a delightful topic."

When I hear Warren's report, I smile as if Silvard and Lloyd were going to be happy, but plotting something.

"Yeah. Isn't that pleasant? By the way, that Miss Krone seemed like a no, but that third prince apparently hasn't given up."

"Pleasant. Lloyd, isn't this getting to be a delightful stream?

"You're getting more and more delightful stories, Your Majesty. Come on, Lord Warren. I want to hear more."

The two rush on. For those of them who don't have a good feeling about Heim, this story was getting interesting.

"And the party the day before Olivia and the others returned home. I met Ain on that day, and we were getting along."

"Warren always has a lot of intelligence."

"Yeah, you're right. I'm not worried that I won't be able to find out when I've been searching for information."

Istarika Chancellor Warren was a powerful man who would not allow other followers on intelligence-gathering.

Even Heim's information on another continent was being examined along with his deal with Euro.

Seeing that high level of intelligence ability, Lloyd also gave him words of praise.

"... I'd like to talk to you directly when you get here about who you are"

Krone for doing something delightful for the Silvers.

Silvard wanted to make sure she was in person.

Before I had any idea what conversations were going on at the Royal Castle in Ishtarika - a line by the Grand Duke of Augusto.

The former Grand Duke of Augusto, Graf, had taken Krone, Alfred, his ancient service and a few escorts aboard the ship of Ishtarika.

"But you're stunning, Alfred."

"Yep. It's Master Left. I don't think this is the ship."

The room through which the Graphs were passed was for the nobility of Ishtarika, and the amenities and decor were all satisfactory to the Graphs as well.

Krone and Graf had separate rooms, but they are staying in almost the same room just because of different furniture and other arrangements.

"Grandpa. I think it's easier than the Augusto mansion."

"Right. Honestly, no matter how many rooms there are for nobility, it's in the boat. I thought you might feel wobbly and the equipment was inconvenient."

"You don't have any. It's really easier than the mansion."

The Graphs, though in the boat, were comfortable without feeling wobbly.

It is also gratifying to Graf, Alfred and the servants that the problem of Krone's difficulty in spending time was also a matter of concern.

"Our supply room is also stunning. I don't have the amenities or luxury of this room, but I still don't find it inconvenient to live in, and I don't feel wobbly as well."

Alfreds, a few servants and escorts, of course, had another room available. However, there was no difficulty in spending the room, and because it was quite comfortable, there was not a single dissatisfaction among those accompanying Ishtarika.

"Though it was a fairy tale, of a distant country. You get a real feeling when you get here, Grandpa."

Ishtarika for Krone was all I could imagine just studying.

Even though his father, Harley, had experience studying abroad, I couldn't imagine listening to it at all.

Even when boarding the ship I'm on now, I couldn't say much surprise when I first found the ship.

"Oh. And we've already gotten this far, so we won't be able to interfere with anything, even as Heim"

Graf's concerns. That was about a proposal from the Third Prince.

This time he left the country because of Graf's sanatorium and arrived in Euro via the trade city.

Something close to obstruction was expected when Heim left the country, but there was nothing special about that.

Speaking of which, the interview from a person near the third prince to Krone wants me to consider the third prince positively again.

The fact that we had not yet used forceful means was also a shame as a graph.

If it is usually also an offer of marriage from the royal family, it is common sense to honestly accept it as a nobleman serving the country.

That it was the family name Grand Duke that the Augusto family did not easily acknowledge among other things and were able to postpone the problem. And as a third prince, he also strongly liked Krone, and wanted him to like himself because he could take his time. As a result, no forceful means have been employed.

"Please replace your tea"

"Thank you, Alfred"

"Let's take it."

Alfred sees how it goes and makes tea substitutes.

Graf was thinking. I think that there will be some kind of problem in the future, big or small.

But it was the near future that would happen, and it was certain that it was not now. It felt most important that the problem did not arise now.

"School?"

"Yes. School, let's go when you're seven."

Olivia's room late at night. We were talking before Ain and Olivia went to bed for a light cup of tea.

In the meantime, Olivia abruptly told Ain to go to school.

On second thought, if I was about Ain's age, it would have been normal to go to school.

Speaking of which, you're almost seven. Me, too.

"Let's celebrate, shall we?

"Yes, I look forward to it"

Ain is almost 7 years old.

More than a year had passed since I arrived in Ishtarika, and I had become a complete Ishtarika person.

Even in the castle is already a familiar face for the knights and the supplicants, called His Highness and Ain.

The unveiling of Prince Wang Ain was scheduled to take place after the age of 7 when he saw the period.

"What school are you going to?

"Well... what kind of school does Ein want to go to the other way around?

"That, can I choose?

"Fine. A large school in the harbour town I went to when I came to Ishtarika or one of the best in Ishtarika in the King's capital. And then there are some famous ones in the distance... it's hard for Ain't to go, something with a position"

Apparently, the limit is the school in Port Town. They have a dedicated water train, and it's easy to get back to the castle when something happens.

The other is a school in Wangdu. As for Ain, I didn't want to leave Olivia, so in my heart I was going to decide to go to King's Capital school.

"If it's a port town school, will you live alone in port town after all?

"I know I'm taking some escorts, but as a royalty, Ain't gonna be there alone. It's okay, 'cause your mother can stand it."

Olivia endured with a light tear in her eyes.

As for Ain, I heard he lived alone, and I still decided to reject him.

"I don't even like to leave with your mother, so Wang Du is by far the best. If you're in Wangdu's school, you can go through the castle, right?

"Because he's a good kid if he's Ain't already. Thank you, Mother would be delighted. If you want to attend Wang Du's school, you can go through the castle. I think we're just gonna take the water train and get close."

"Is that a little distance?

"I'm pretty sure it's in the King's Capital. It's just that the king capital of Ishtarika is huge, isn't it? That's why Wang Douchi often travels by water train as well. Because traveling in a carriage takes too long and you get tired."

I see. Ein thought. Nevertheless, can Prince Wang normally take the train to school?

Aren't you going to make a little noise? and I was thinking about some things like whether it was a dedicated water train for the school as well.

"By the way, is it okay for Prince Wang to take the water train to school?

"I wonder who the escort will follow. Sooner or later, Ain't gonna be appointed exclusively, so wait till then, okay?

When he heard that Ain's exclusive escort would be appointed, Ain was convinced.

There was no foolish story about letting Prince Wang ride the train alone.

"But I'm getting a little excited. I never really got involved with people my age."

"Right...... sorry Ain"

Ain had 0 friends his age.

1 if you add krone, but still she's not around.

Olivia apologizes for making such a situation.

"It's not your mother's fault. But... what is the school in Wangdu?

Ein changes the course of the conversation before Olivia makes another apology. I wanted you to tell me about Wang Du's school.

"Right! You want to know what kind of school. Then I'll explain, Ein."

Olivia begins her explanation of Wangdu's school to Ain.

The name of the school is the Royal Kingsland School of Isthtarica. Kingsland is the name of the King Ishtarika capital, and they use it as it is.

They have a royal name for the school, but they also have the National Kingsland School. To be honest, Ain't wanted me to change my name because it's confusing.

The royal one is only royal to the school, and the supreme power is Silvado. The State operates as the State of Istharika.

The Royal Family is, of course, of a higher level, and it's hard to get into school. And he says the number of students is less than half that of the nation.

It is, of course, the royal one that Ain is going to enroll in, by the way.

Nevertheless, it does not seem to be possible to enroll without doing anything.

"Is it an exam"

"Can't all this be wrongful? That's why Ain't gotta work hard."

I was talking about taking a selective exam.

You can do the math, you can do the history. Or even if he excelled in one area, such as law, enrollment was considered possible.

Of course I could magically sell myself in.

"Well, I mean, in my case, the strength is toxin decomposition EX and the dark knight."

"I honestly don't think you'll find out, even if you used the Dark Knight skills. I don't think there are people I've actually seen with my eyes. So I know it's ok... maybe it'll be a bit of a hassle after something happens, but the toxin breakdown EX is still a secret too..."

A dark knight who would never dwell in a person if he were normal. I still couldn't use that for my exams.

The toxin breakdown EX will then be used. However, its toxinolytic EX was not yet scheduled to be published due to its specificity either.

"Then I'll have to do it with my sword already...?

"As a mother, I'm sorry I can't use my corner skills, but I can't help it."

When he told me to show excellence in something, Ain't had no choice but to compete with sword moves.

All you have to do is show that strength as you always train with the castle knights.

His efforts, so much as the gift of training, and the fruits of his training in making use of it, had the strength to cross sufficiently, if only to the extent of a regular knight, in the same age.

"As a mother, I don't think it's a bad idea to compete with the strength of a sword. Ain't Ain't you getting to beat a castle knight now, huh?

"Yeah, right. If so, can you pass?

"Of course. Even the Knights of Ishtarika were so chosen to reach that place."

"Then I'll finish it with training by the day. When is that entrance exam, by the way?"

"Because of the high number of exams, we should be doing it every month for kids under seven."

If he does it every month, Ain thought about ending it all the time.

He thought it would be troublesome if he ran out of room later on.

"I have my next exam coming up, and you want to take Ain?

"Yep. I'd like to get this over with right away, and can I sign up?

"Okay. I'll have everything you need in the morning."

"What time is that next exam date, by the way?"

Olivia such as I'll be ready in the morning. Ain heard about it and thought the exam day was near.

"You don't have another week, do you, Ain't you?

Much earlier than expected, but no problem because I just wave my sword as usual. You just have to be in shape by the day.

"It's okay. Next week's exam, please."

"Okay. I think Ain would be fine, but your mother's here for you!

Ain't been waiting for the entrance exam for the past few days.

Though I thought it would be good to train with the Castle Knight as well, it was nevertheless an opportunity to show it to an outside person, because I wanted to see the school with my own eyes.

The day of the exam. Ain't decided on a dedicated knight yet, he was escorted by Chris to the Royal Kingsland School at the exam venue.

Just like the last time he went to the Demon Stone store, Chris hid his face in his helmet to avoid making a scene and was equipped with personally owned items, not Kingsguard knight armor.

For the record, Chris' personally owned gear seems more expensive than the Kingsguard's armor with more digits.

After leaving the castle, the two head to White Rose, the largest station in the Wang capital.

This time I got on a regular water train, not a royal water train.

The area lined with schools is like a school city lined with several schools as well as Royal Kingsland.

Get on the train heading there.

Arriving less than 15 minutes later, the place is crowded with many students.

The Royal Kingsland School exams are held monthly and numerous examinees come together from all over Ishtarika.

But minus that, quite a few other school students were walking, and Ain was stunned by that.

"You have so many people"

"This is an area in the Wang capital, yet called a school city. Students, of course, but there's always a crowd of researchers, teachers, parents."

Chris responds to Ein's question.

As for Ain, I get a little slackened when I hear they're always so crowded.

"I don't really like crowding each other out, but for now, I'll try my best to pass"

"I also believe that Ein can pass. Royal Kingsland School is this way."

That's how Chris takes Ain for the exam venue.

If I looked around, I saw a few people with knights as escorts.

Chris explained that it seems basic that the aristocratic child also attends schools in this school city, and that it is a natural sight to have salaries and knights.

"But Lord Lloyd's son must also be attending the Royal Kingsland School."

"... What!?

Somehow Chris said something serious.

Ein can't really react to the facts either.

"Mr. Lloyd's, child...? Huh? Was Mr. Lloyd married?

"Oh, that... didn't you know, Dear Ein? I thought I was already listening."

"No at all. I didn't even hear the dust."

"Ugh, uhh... what do we do"

Chris starts to worry about what to do, he seems worried that he can explain this.

"It's good because it's Dear Ein... no problem, yeah. Dear Ein, I've actually met Ein at Lloyd's wife."

Chris continues his explanation, confirming that he has no problem with his small voice.

"Huh!? It's a lie. It's a lie, right?

"You're the one who makes tea to Olivia every day. Lord Lloyd's wife."

"Mr. Martha!? That little Mr. Martha and Mr. Lloyd like a big beast are a couple!?

Too factually, Ain't losing his usual composure.

I had no idea that little cute Martha and Lloyd like a beast were said to be husband and wife.

"Please calm down, Master Ain. A lot of people think so… yes, we all do."

"Right? I didn't feel like a couple, either."

"They both seem to have that stance in the castle. You both have a position, so it looks like you're trying to stay moderate and not look like a couple in the castle."

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, well... that's good, right? If we're close."

No conversation to see with the couple, no action, so Ain't noticed at all since he came to Ishtarika.

Now that I think about it, Ein basically didn't know how everyone was spending time outside the castle because he lived in the castle.

"Something about the day you two are on vacation, you can also see them shopping together. I was wondering if we could get along."

There's so many things I don't know.

Ain't been slightly confused and the tension's dropped.

"By the way, when you say you look like a beast in front of Lord Lloyd, you need to be careful because there's something easily depressing about Lord Lloyd"

While we were having that conversation, we arrived at the Royal Kingsland School, the testing venue.

As for Ein, after learning the facts of the shock, he switches and tightens his feelings about coming to the test.

No escort seemed to be allowed where the exams were going, and Chris and I broke up on the way. Ain't gone inside.

Ein's upcoming exam is about combat. Permission to use weapons, whatever they may be. However, dangerous items such as blade parts are conditional on the use of crushed items. It is also possible to use skills, but it is forbidden to use magic that acts on space, such as flaming.

That's why Ain brought in the training wooden sword he was used to. I prepared that and waited now or now for my turn to come.

Exam content shall include "excellent" grades in one-on-one battles with examiners.

The definition of excellence is quite difficult, but two examiners, apart from the examiners who actually fight, are watching how it goes and eventually the three of them decide whether or not to accept it.

"Hey, ahhh!

"What the hell is that gesture! It is said that the quality of those who taught you the sword will be known. Why don't you retire already and go home?!

"(Quite the mouthless examiner.)"

Examiners for combat exams here at the Royal Kingsland School make numerous provocations.

See how provoked exams behave. If you can calm down and act. That's okay, too, if you show strength, even if it's intense, of course you pass. The weak who just shed tears were unsuccessful.

Even they do a lot of provocations, but of course they were only doing it for the exam, not the heart.

"Knock... wow..."

And a test taker who grieves that his arms don't work too well, and brings tears to his eyes. If this were the case, the exam would be over by now.

"You have failed. Next man, come on!

Ein was not convinced about this method.

Still, in addition to strength, mental strength, etc. are being investigated only because I thought there would be no choice as a superior school, so I understood.

"Please!

My next exam came forward. Examiners cannot be named here at the Royal Kingsland School.

By giving them names, a number of measures have been taken to ensure that nobles associated with school operations are not allowed to prioritize enrolment, etc. Not being able to name it is one of those measures.

It made me feel easier as Ain.

"You fail as well! Royal Kingsland School doesn't deserve it! Next!"

While I'm doing this, Ein's turn comes.

I couldn't say I wasn't nervous at all, but as for Ain, I was relaxed.

The examiner was quite powerful only as the prestigious Royal Kingsland School.

He always looks stronger than the knight in the castle who was his training opponent. But I didn't think my strength would work.

"Please"

"Come on, kid. Win the pass and show me."

That's what they say, Ein packs the distance and waves the wooden sword.

"Ho ho... I'll do it, kid. Best speed of the day."

"Thank you for that. I'll keep going."

Ain't no surprise, he keeps attacking.

Aim for the feet, for the joints, for the neck. He attacked several parts without fixing his aim, preventing his opponent from reading the next attack.

"Hmm. It doesn't make sense where we dispersed the attack with one of the kids' memories, it won't work!

"Gu......"

There is also a difference in stature and Ain gets a light blow to the side.

The status was high and excellent Ein, but there was a difference in experience here.

"You depend on your status. Technology isn't chasing us, what do we keep doing? Or do you want to wrap your tail around it and go home?

Although it took a blow, Ain is soon to come back because it was light.

I didn't mean to provoke the examiner at all.

"No. Not yet, please"

"Huh! I don't know, your teacher doesn't seem like a big deal!

Ein, who had come with a kachin for this provocation, managed to keep himself restrained.

But I felt that I had to show my strength when it came to provocation for exams.

It was terribly uncomfortable to waste time with Lloyd, Chris and the castle knights who had taught themselves the sword so far.

"I don't know if I have to try. Let me keep going!

"A busy lad. This is why I hate kids with no parental education!

……

Using the Dark Knight, Ein decided so.

I don't even know if it's any trouble with that. Speaking of provocations for the exam, Ain't stopped putting up with being insulted Olivia.

My body is in good shape today. Enough magic I never used. There was nothing wrong with using the Dark Knight.
