"After all, don't you want to know more? It's surprisingly light. Well, I wish I could....."

"Oh, that's all I'm interested in right now. It's not the past. I'm only interested in whether he's strong or not right now. If you don't care about the past, you can't cross the world. Evolve every day. --Well, if there's ever a chance, I'd really like to ask."

That's what Eledin laughs at.

"So come to the Knights when you graduate properly. It is a waste of time for a guy like you to rot his talent in a weird place. Adults like me, who understand, will not guide you properly. - It's important here, like me."

"... I'll think about it..."

Honestly, I definitely don't want to be under this guy...!!

I guess I'll have to think about what happens after graduation, but it's only clear that it's going to be a lot harder under this guy.

Just remembering that meeting at the moment, it seemed like all three of us, except Lloyd, were left to swing around...

Eledin puts his hand on my shoulder.

"I'm counting on you, Rookie! Learn to be strong in London.... at this rate, I might not have any enemies against the students."

…………

I wouldn't dare shut up without saying anything.

It's hard to say that you have no enemies.

"Silence?... well. I have no knowledge of magic because I am a foreigner. I have nothing more to say. It's just..."

Eledin continued.

"Rumor has it that there are monsters in Amalfis for a year. I don't know what happened... Rich... he's like that. Don't let your feet get in your way."

Amalfis... I'm sure it was Liza's alma mater, a school of magic dedicated to combat.

"You're Rich from Amalfis... I'll remember that for now."

Well, I hardly ever encounter that Richter.

Three school fights... well, I don't know for years, and there's no guarantee I'll fight him.

"Haha, I think I can afford that. I look forward to seeing your future. [M] You know how strong I am? I don't know what your connection is, but students should be like students. [M] It's just this time of year. Youth is a moment. Looking back, I realize it was there... when I was in the light, nobody knew it was in the light."

"Mr. Eledin...."

You fought me for a reason to convince me?

Show your strength… Maybe you think it's your duty as a Knight Commander.

You can't read a damn thing about how thoughtful it is, Knight Commander Eledin Blood.

Unexpected behavior makes sense as a result.

Maybe it's also natural.

"Kids should be very young. Stop being reckless, you'll be reckless when you join the Knights."

That's not the only spot.

Eledin opened her chest and finally smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"Anyway, I'm Eledin Blood, the mightiest knight and swordsman of all time. You get what you want with your own power."

I can't help laughing at that confident look.

"Ha, I don't really hate people like Eledin."

"No, that's not necessary."

◇ ◇ ◇

It was only a while after that that a bid was put up for repair in the shattered training ground.

The craftsmen of the King's Landing took the trouble to fix the walls and floors that had fallen apart in the battle between me and Mr. Eledin.

Leila, who was introduced as an assistant by Eledin's voice, rushed to contact the vendor and found out that we had been kicked out of the training grounds.

The sun has already set and the light is on.

I don't see all the trainees who were cheerfully speaking up just now returning to their quarters.

"Gil!

It was Mr. Spica who called me.

"Mr. Spica."

When I came a little bit closer from a distance, I stared seriously at my face, and this time I began to see my whole body.

Pacify, touch your arms, neck, thighs and ankles, and, um, roar.

Extremely, I pinched my cheeks with both hands and boiled them to the left and right.

On the contrary, it hurts...

"Nah, why so..."

"Ah, I'm sorry," he replied to my words and took his hand off his cheek.

And look at Eledin and me alternately with a little surprise.

"Eh, uh... looks like you're okay... Five bodies satisfied....."

"Yeah, well... somehow"

"Well, enduring Eledin's Chigoki is promising for the future."

Arnold, who had stood behind him, smiled slightly on his nasty face and said so.

I rub my cheeks and look at Mr. Arnold.

Until Mr. Arnold.

"Chigoki is as rude as ever, Arnold. Call me the Whip of Love."

With that said, Eledin shrugged her shoulders in dismay.

"Isn't that true? How many magicians have left the grounds crying since you became Knight Commander? --But I see... I thought I was going to repeat it again, so I came to see how it was..."

Arnold stares at me with his sharp eyes.

Eledin answers as proudly as she does herself.

"It's a gem, Arnold. I have reservations for the Knights."

"Hey, it's still provisional!

"Oh, I see. I'm really glad to have someone capable of magic in my knight. As long as you have power, it doesn't matter how old you are."

Then the tip of Eledin's nose twitches.

"Wait, Arnold. Kid, get close to me. I'm not going to assign you to the Magic Knight."

"Ahh!? That can't be allowed! It is the Knights' way to gain experience from the field properly!

"Stupid. What should I do with a promising magician as a force? It's the Knights that are going to need to be treated well for their abilities."

"Eledin....! Listen, you..."

The two start arguing with a momentum that is likely to start working together.

I'm supposed to be the party, and the two of you have a hot conversation.

Friendship or bad...

Even if you didn't take a step against the Knight Commander, the Magic Knight Commander would be great.

"Those two are almost in sync. Eledin, who overwhelmingly rose to Knight Commander, and Arnold, who firmly forged up to Magic Knight Commander. They're both amazing people."

Spica looks at the two arguments with a bitter smile.

"It's going to be like a fight between the two of you. Don't worry about it because it's the usual thing."

"On the street... I thought Arnold was touching me very hard."

Indeed, they had the impression that there were many things to wear on their teeth, or that they were talking with their stomachs broken.

Like me and Len, to put it bluntly.

"Still...."

Mr. Spica looks at me again.

"I really didn't think I'd get through Captain Eledin's challenge... honestly, I came to see if I was worn out by now..."

Looks like Spica's mother was exploding here too.

That would make me a fool.

"Your strength... seems real. I wonder what would happen if we even had a one-on-one interaction with Captain Eledin...."

I shook my head in a hurry.

"No, no, no! I'm sure he's a student, so he let me go. Ahahaha....."

"Does he look like that?

"Mmm...."

If you say so, there's no way to get back at me.

I can't imagine him fighting out of hand at all.

"That's what I mean. --A rookie victory over my son, a battle against vampires... honestly, I couldn't believe it, but I had to admit it when I got here."

Mr. Spica stares at me with kindness.

"The strength of the sorcerer... has nothing to do with my age. I'm about to be overtaken."

"That's not true...."

"- But you can't be rude. Looks like you're in a hurry. You can count on me more.... let adults dress well. You're still a student, so encourage what you can do now."

"What you can do now...."

Words from many people telling you to sing a song about youth.

A thousand years ago, when I was alive, no adult could say such a thing. Fight, kill, don't be sweet... that's all I've been told.

--But there are so many now.

I think it's really a good time.

From the bottom of my heart, really.
