Master of the brave.

Winn wakes up at a time when even the chickens still don't announce the morning.

From the time I was five, when I swore I would be a knight, I always woke up at this hour.

Looking around in the small room, in the next bed, Rock is still resting.

Careful not to wake him, when he dressed for training, he gently went outside the room with a training knight sword.

Outside the dorm the wind before dawn is cold and chilly, albeit in the spring.

Gently finish the prep exercise to warm your body, then start waving your training knight sword.

Buh, only the sound of cutting the sky buh echoes the silence of a quiet morning.

A sight that has been repeated every day for Winn.

- No,

Something didn't stick.

I feel like there's been some sword muscle and subtle madness that I've been imagining.

Stop your hand once and then breathe, meditate and focus your eyes again.

What comes to mind is the shadow of my strongest friend (Letty) ever.

I could clearly think of that figure today.

- Yesterday's admission ceremony.

The atmosphere in the cathedral that had been bothering me was silenced in an instant.

One girl walks in the middle of the aisle in such silence that the sound of breathing, even a little stiffness, may be heard all around her.

On the front of the cathedral was a high altar.

Straight stretched spine. Wasteless footwork creates an atmosphere of Rin from her.

The golden hair, which swayed together as she ascended the stairs, scattered a soft glow in the light of the day as it plunged through the stained glass.

The figure of the girl will be noted not only by students and instructors gathered in the cathedral, but also by the Knights' heavy towns, shrine officials and invited nobles.

She looked back slowly as she ascended the stage without any strength.

At that moment - it can't be, but everyone remembers such illusions that she herself is surrounded by light.

A tremendous presence.

Everyone looked at the girl as if they had forgotten to breathe too. But...

Unexpectedly, the girl gave him a grin and a soft smile from her previous Rin expression.

There was a relieved atmosphere somewhere, as if it had moved when it had stopped as soon as possible, and I heard exhalation leaking from everywhere.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Leticia, a freshman."

Leticia's words.

Silence reigns over the cathedral again.

A soothing voice echoes through the cathedral.

"I've been chosen as a general generation, but unlike all of you who learn together, I can't come to be a knight. But I've been through a lot of battles before. I'm sure I can share that experience with you."

Close your eyes and slowly take your right hand to your chest.

"The Demon King has perished, but the world still poses many threats. As knights, you must be knights who protect people from these threats. Learn together, inspire together, and fight with me one day."

Slowly and graciously.

A pounding and applause occurs in the quiet cathedral, which eventually turns into a clap of thunder.

Leticia slowly woke up her upper body, looking over the cathedral and smiling like a flower.

Best friend (Letty) standing on the stage of yesterday's admissions ceremony.

Looking back and looking at us, I sat in line at the rear of that line of freshman students.

Only four years, the difference made during those four years seemed like this distance.

Shake your head and exhale once, then concentrate again.

I think of the shadow of Leticia with the sword.

Until now I had pictured Leticia four years ago, but now I could clearly see growing Leticia with a sword.

Until just now, the madness of the sword muscle was what made the difference between her image and her actual appearance.

Then roll out your sword to match your current image.

Winn was about to return to the sight he had repeated every day.

But today there was a change in such a sight.

- That figure hasn't changed since I first saw it.

I stare at two older boys hiding themselves in a building and hissing just waving their swords.

For Leticia, the sight she used to see as every day.

And I had the same time myself back then...

The same sight is still repeated.

Every day, he was compared to his two older sisters by a tutor.

For better or worse, the submissive sisters accomplished the challenges as the tutor put it and wore practices such as upbringing and standing and behaving as a noble princess, whereas Leticia was poorly remembered and could hardly remember the letters and was always scolded.

"I can't believe you couldn't do this. Your sisters were already your age, weren't they?

"What can I do to make such an unusual move? No pieces of elegance."

There was no day when my parents would not reprimand me for peddling the report of a tutor praising my two submissive sisters.

One morning, Leticia woke up, sneaking out of her room, out of the dim mansion.

No matter what you do, you can't do it well, every day you get scolded from around you.

The attitude of the employer also affects the surroundings.

Only for a long time had the servant turned his scornful gaze.

They would think Leticia didn't realize she was being seen with those eyes, but she couldn't stand that gaze when she was twice as sensitive to the signs.

I wanted to escape.

Just one heart of it, walking through the garden of the still dim mansion.

The garden of the vast mansion was, by the way, patrolled by soldiers of the security, but the young and still small Leticia crossed the garden without being found and reached the gate.

When I ask a young soldier who is guarding me, "Whew..." I make a huge stretch.

In that gap Leticia dived into the iron lattice and succeeded in getting out of the gate.

For Leticia, it's the first time she's been out on her own outside the mansion.

I haven't decided on a destination in particular.

I just didn't like the usual time to study coming and I just wanted to escape.

Leticia runs through the still cold early morning capital of the king.

A vast Wang capital where even adults can get lost.

For Leticia, who is only six years old, it is a great adventure.

Even if it was just going straight down the boulevard.

It's too early in the morning and the city is still going straight down the path where it remains calm.

At first she enjoyed this little big adventure, too, as she walked still in a quiet city, she grew progressively more meticulous.

It's like I'm the only one in the world.

- Scary.

- But I don't want you to get mad.

I'm driven by emotions I'm not sure about myself, and although I'm walking for now, I'm getting less and less energetic.

It was then.

One boy entered the sight of Leticia, who was soggy but walking.

He is gripping the bar cut and swinging unconsciously.

Is it swordsmanship practice?

My brother, Rails, had also learned swordsmanship, which was a pretty rough shredding compared to that sophisticated move, but still Leticia had been blinded by that move of his.

Its an awkward move, but its dynamic.

There is a strong light of will in its eyes that eats up its teeth and shakes its bars.

Still young, she felt it as an atmosphere.

Sometimes it would be that I was missing someone during a little adventure.

As I stared, I looked here to see if the boy noticed that gaze.

Unexpectedly, she gets frightened but curiosity wins, and Leticia squeezes her courage and approaches the boy.

"What are you doing?

"I'm burning up."

"That's funny?

"I don't know if it's funny, but it feels good"

"Can I do Letty, too?

The boy nods, Leticia picks up the bar slice that was falling nearby and swings alongside the boy.

The boy watched that for a while, but when he sighed, he began to shake it together.

The boy waves a bar cut, but sometimes asks how Leticia is doing.

That had some confusing colors, but also mixed some worrying colors.

A joy for people to care about, since when for Leticia.

Because I have work to do, the boy nodded with a strange look when Leticia asked the boy who tells him that he could come back tomorrow for fear.

Leticia, feeling floated and completely forgetting that she was running away from home, was severely reprimanded by both her parents and the tutor when she left, but still the joy was better for her.

- Because I felt like I found my place.

Then Leticia went through to the boy like every day.

My tutor cut me a stick - and made me a wooden sword.

After a while, his parents stopped showing any interest in the late princess leaving the mansion like a sleepwalker.

When Rails, his son, and his two older sisters excelled, the tutor praised him, so he put all three of them on him.

It's convenient for Leticia.

Boy - Winn always matched Leticia, trained.

Even when running through the city, Leticia won't force you to do it according to the speed at which she runs.

Even his training with the wooden sword taught him slowly not to let her get hurt, whilst striking Leticia in.

It was normal for Wynn, but that was more than happy for Leticia, who had so far just been forced to do just the amount of things the tutor told her to do.

When I brought in a book given as an assignment by the tutor or one that was in the mansion, Winn was happy to read it and think about what was described together.

What I didn't understand was like tutoring, and we both thought about it without teaching it into our heads.

And by the time I met Wynn, a year later, Leticia also felt that I was growing.

Even as I watched Rayles and his sisters above do swordsmanship training and study magic, I was gradually becoming less and less comfortable with being amazing.

Sometimes even as a tutor, he was already limited, but apart from standing and behaving, he was no longer looking to teach him swords and magic.

The power had already been cut off.

That's why they couldn't notice Leticia's prowess.

Um, Fate Day - until the day Leticia was commissioned as the 'Brave'.

Wynn waving his sword silently.

Leticia gently puts her hand on her chest and meditates on her eyes.

During my journey, I felt energized if I thought of Winn no matter how hard things were.

I've got courage.

Because no matter what the hard things were, I'm sure he'd keep walking without bending his own will.

- You're the one who led me. Ever since I met you, I have been able to come not only as a brave man, but also without breaking as a man so far.

Winn's sword opponent can be clearly perceived by Leticia.

The figure of the shadow is Leticia herself four years ago.

It is somewhat upwardly modified, but it is a far cry from my current strength.

But...

Open up all the signs you've been hiding at once.

Pull out the training knight sword and jump out of the shadows at once.

"Brother!

"Nah...... Letty, Letty!?

He stuffed his time at once as he slammed his overwhelming sword chi on Winn.

- This is my strength now.

A boy who wants you to line up beside him the most for Leticia.

- Because I'm sure you'll make it this far someday.

And the two swords crossed for the first time in four years.
