The next day.

I got up a little later than usual.

If you look at the clock, it is 7:30 in the morning.

I still have some time left until the start of the program, but ...

"Wow ..."

Grows greatly and gets out of bed.

(Hmm ... a little heavier ...)

As expected, the tiredness of cutting more than a hundred swordsmen seems not to be enough for a day's sleep.

(... I'm gonna wash my face and switch.)

Then when I leave the bedroom,

"Oh, good morning Allen!"

The rear, which was more pleasant than usual, greeted me with a cheerful smile.

Looking at her cheerful appearance, she feels like she's lighter.

"Good morning, rear. Is that ... winter clothes?"

Looking down, she was dressed in an unusual uniform.

(Speaking of which ... it was a change of clothes)

Today is October 1 – the day of transition from summer to winter.

"Uh, yeah ... what! What about ...?"

She turned around on the spot and leaned her neck with a little nervousness.

A short white dress with a long body line.

A warm black jacket is put on from above.

The chic outfit matched very well with the beautiful golden hair on the rear.

"Oh, she looks great."

"Oh, thank you ... oh yeah, can you show me Allen's winter clothes?"

"of course"

After that, I prepared for the morning quickly-I was rushed to rear and changed into winter clothes.

"... how is it?"

To be honest ... Winter clothes for boys are basically the same as summer clothes.

A jacket with black accents on a white cloth.

Below are simple pants with the same color scheme as the jacket.

So when I ask for light impressions,

"-Yeah, it's very good! Cool!"

Peria smiled and smiled like a large flower.

"Thank you so much."

I do n’t think it ’s going to be that much …… If she says that, it ’s going to be a good feeling.

Then we showed each other winter clothes,

"--Well, let's go now."

"Yup!"

We decided to head to Chiba Gakuin together.

When I opened the front door, the cool air that felt the coming of autumn stroked my cheek.

"Hey, don't get cold ... Is it cold?"

"I'm okay, thank you .... After the end of the heat, it's time for autumn."

Looking around – the leaves of the lush trees were already slightly yellowish.

Walking slowly, feeling the end of summer and the coming of autumn-I could see the nostalgic Chiba Gakuin main school building.

"Oh, it's beautiful!"

"Well, it feels good."

The darkened outer wall of the guy (...) is pure white and beautiful.

The gymnasium, which was blown away and blown away, was completely restored.

And-The inside of our school building was also beautiful.

A hallway with no dust.

No fogging window glass.

It feels good just to look at it.

When I walked straight down the beautiful hallway, I arrived at classroom A for one year.

I put my hand on the door that opened sideways and exhaled.

"... don't be a little nervous"

"Uh, um .... It's been two weeks since I met everyone ..."

"Well ... open?"

"Oh, okay ...!"

Then I decided to open the door vigorously,

"--Oh, it's been a long time, Allen!"

"Good morning! Are you fine?"

"Hey, both of you! Let's talk a little about Shirayuri Jogakuin!"

The class members came here all at once.

Then right after that,

"... Good morning, Allen, Leah ... and everyone."

Rose, who seems to have slept as before, arrived at school-all members of Group A were all in one year.

We had a good time talking about each other's transfer life until the morning home room started.

After a short time, a chime rang “Keen corn Khan corn” and the classroom door was opened vigorously.

"--Good morning, everyone!"

As usual, I'm Cheerful Leia.

She glanced at us and nodded with satisfaction.

"Huh, everyone looked strong before I saw them a little! I was in my morning's home room ... but there was nothing to contact!

"""Yes!"""

Thus, the daily life at Chiba Gakuin is back.

Then, calm days flowed.

Morning training is basically in the morning.

Lunch breaks are regular meetings at the student council.

Afternoon strength training and classroom.

After school, the activities of the swing club in the corner of the schoolyard.

All the time devoted to swordplay-a very fulfilling day.

One month in November, about a month later.

I and Leah Rose, who were attending the regular lunch break meeting, were called to the chairman's office.

When I opened the intimidating black-painted door, there was a teacher who just finished reading Weekly Shonen Yaiba.

"Well, did you come ... I'm sorry to suddenly call me."

She took out three sheets of print paper from the work desk and distributed it to us three.

(Is this ... resume?)

And when I lean my head,

"What ... I'm going to recommend you guys to a special holy knight," Special Trainee. "

"" "... Special trainee?" "

The three of us repeated the same words that we had never heard.

"Oh, it's no wonder you don't know, because this is a new system this year."

Dr. said so and began explaining.

"In short: this is a system in which the Holy Knights Association encloses the top performers of Gogakuin. As you know, the recent international situation is more volatile than ever. So the Holy Knights Association has created a system to secure better talent-that's the 'special trainee system'. ''

She kissed the glass of water and continued talking.

"Participants in this system will be assigned to each branch on weekends, which are holidays, where they will train the same way as advanced knights, raise their swordplay skills and deepen their understanding of the knights."

"So that's it……"

We students can hone their swordsmanship by training with a senior sacred knight.

The Holy Knights Association can enclose promising students.

It's a good story that benefits both students and the Holy Knights Association.

"It's going to be a hard day every day because both holidays are crushed. Of course, this isn't a compulsory thing ... it's a useful story for you. Please consider positively."

That's it, the teacher finished talking.

At the same time, I-quietly shook my head.

"I'm very grateful, but ... I'm sorry. Unlike rear and rose, I haven't developed a soul dress yet, so I can't accept this story ..."

One of the conditions to become an advanced holy knight is that the soul has been expressed.

This is a well-written rule, and so far no exception has ever been made.

I rejected the teacher ’s suggestion

(Huh .... wasteful ...)

I sighed in my heart.

You have a chance to reach out to the dream holy knight.

("Kamiso", or ...)

Once you have a good idea, you can learn ...

Really ... I'm sorry for my lack of talent ...

(Huh ...)

If you are so depressed,

"Oh, don't worry about that ... I'll talk to the Holy Knights Association."

Dr. said it really lightly.

"Is it true?"

"Huh, I'm not Date, the position of 'Gakuin's chairman'. And, most of all, we're sending out Allen-Roaddle. I'm sure you'll have the chance to get 'the best talent of this generation.' The other side will be pleased with all his hands. ''

Mr. laughed gently, saying that, but he didn't hear what she said in the middle.

Not so much – a swirl of joy was rising in my mind.

(Yeah, I did ...

Become an advanced holy knight and get a stable monthly salary.

Then ... To the mother who brought me up to this point with one hand, to the mother who works desperately every day in Goza Village-I can finally make my life easier.

Just thinking so, something hot ran inside my body.

"Well, Allen seems reluctant ... What about rear and rose?"

"If Allen goes, of course I'll go!"

"Same as right"

Apparently Leah and Rose will be joining together.

"Okay! I'll contact you again. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, please go to the Holy Knights Association Arest Branch with the resume you just distributed."

"Yes!"

"I got it"

"I understand."

So we left the president's office.

The next morning.

We hit the gate of the Holy Knights Association Orest Branch.

After entering a large one-story building and submitting a resume at the reception desk, he was passed to the religion yard for senior saints.

There is an area about the size of a gymnasium-there were swordsmen lined in white bodice.

(Yeah, but ... it's a huge number ...

At a glance, more than a hundred swordsmen were lightly noticed.

According to the lady at the reception, all the people here are the "Eggs" of the higher knights, that is, the lower knights who have mastered the soul.

If you pass the practice test that is held here today, you will be able to be promoted to an advanced holy knight.

"Well, I'm a little nervous ..."

"Um, there's a strange air ..."

Rear and Rose gasped in the unique air before the test.

"For the time being ... will we line up?"

"U, yeah ..."

"Oh, yes."

Ten minutes to wait.

The scheduled start time at 9:00 has already passed.

"... I won't come."

"Yes. What's wrong ...?"

"Did you break your body ...?"

Then the rehearsal hall suddenly became noisy-the door at the end of the dojo opened vigorously.

"I'm Don-Gorg, the instructor. Huh ..... I don't want to make a silly look with a complete set ..."

Don-Gorg.

A crouching face with wrinkles between the eyebrows.

Age is about 50 years old.

Your height will be about 180 centimeters.

Large body like Iwao.

A black stubble on the hair mixed with white hair.

Was wearing a white bodice like other lower holy knights.

Somehow, but ... I felt like I was blowing the same air as the teachers of Gran Swords Academy.

He showed his lateness, and when he suddenly curses us,

"First of all ... yes. You need to look over your boring resumes. In the meantime, you can do it like a fool!"

I dumped so shortly and went back to the back room.

"" "Hi!" "

The lower holy knights returned a postcard response, but ...

"... what kind of attitude do you want to burn?"

"Is it possible to use the nutrients of <... hikanzakura>?"

The rear and rose, which were once more prideful, had blue stripes on their foreheads.

"Well, well, calm down, both of you are ... today. It's still the first day, so why don't you just do what you say?"

Indeed, we can't go back from the first day-let alone cause a problem.

I managed to calm them down and behave quietly.

About three hours after that, we just wielded our sword.

""-"!! Huh! @Huh!" "

Raise the sword and swing down-take a straight-eyed stance.

It's a repetition of the same repetitive action.

After an hour, two hours-one by one and one hand stopped.

Maybe you are not in good shape today.

(But ... Huh, the way you scream like this is also fun ...)

If you say the swing, it ’s the same as “rice”.

Eating together is better than eating alone.

Similarly, it is more fun to swing the sword alone than to swing it alone.

Then, when I was feeling my sword,

"--That's up!"

Suddenly, the door at the back opened vigorously, and the instructor, holding the sake bottle in one hand, appeared.

"Hmmm, three hours have passed yet ... Is there anybody who turned up the sound already?"

He says-he kicks the belly of a lower holy knight resting in the corner.

"But, ha ...?!"

"--Go home now! A weak like you can't be an advanced holy knight in your lifetime!"

"Yes, yes ... I'm sorry ..."

The lower-ranking knights who stopped swinging left the training room with a regretful face.

(... I'm looking at it and it's not very pleasant)

If I think that,

"One of these ..." a foreign body "is mixed!"

The instructor suddenly shouted.

"--Allen-Rodol!

"Eh, yes, yes ...!"

Suddenly my name was called back and I answered one beat later.

"Kyou ... Do you know what you did ...?"

"Whatever ...

Speaking of what I did here, I can only think of it.

"Let the fools!

Instructor yelled at me--I shoved a print in front of me.

"Is this ... my resume?"

"Ah, yes. Full name, Allen-Roadle. Last education, at Chiba Gakuin. And-soul dress" unexpressed. "You ... what exactly is this (...)?"

Apparently, I have not expressed my soul, but I am angry that I am here.

But it should already be there.

"No, Mr. Leia talked about that matter-"

"--Noisy!-Don't make excuses!-A third-rate swordsman who can't use soulwear ...... telling anyone!"

The instructor didn't listen to my words, but just shouted at me.

(This is a waste of time ...

It seems better to pull once today and talk to your teacher.

"... Huh, I understand."

And then, when I stood quietly—Rear, who had reached the limit of patience, opened his mouth.

"Cho, isn't it too domineering !?-A little more story about Allen-"

That's when she stood in front of the instructor.

"--Who gave permission to speak!"

"Kyu !?"

He might be-he thrust Leah with his hand.

At that moment, the entire darkness covers the entire rehearsal hall.

"Hi, hey !?"

"What is this ...?!"

"This power is" Allen-Roadle "... Is he ?!"

I didn't even notice the noise of my surroundings, and I stepped in between Lear and the instructor-and slammed at him a "fake black sword."

"... What are you going to do?"

The instructor, who turned his face red in anger, pulls out his sword on his waist.

I desperately suppressed the rage that sprang up, while trying to smile, and brought out a proposal.

"-Instructor Don, why don't you do one?"

"A match ...?"

"Well, a one-on-one serious game. If I lose-I won't hit the gate of the Holy Knights Association. I'll leave this place right now."

"Huh ...?"

"But if you lose-apologize to Lear right now."

When I applied for a duel,

"Hmmm ... When I point my sword at me, you can't be a senior saint for the rest of my life. But ... interesting, let's take it!"

He took off his bodice and exposed his muscular ridges.

And

"--Kaaaaaaaaaaaahh!"

Dense killing was released with a terrible scream.

Apparently not only the mouth but also the ability.

"Fuha, I'll tell you my greatest pleasure! That's-to hurt you like you, cry and ask for forgiveness ...!"

"I'm sorry ... I don't mean to lose to the" Knight Crumbling "that raises my hand."

Thus, I ended up in a duel with the Holy Knights Association instructor Don-Gorg.
