Oh, I'm impressed that this year's reclassification ceremony has always increased.

As Alan stretched out his back with his arms up to heaven, he laughed in a bright tone.

Until recently, he was attending the annual reclassification ceremony, and finally moved his limbs as if his shoulders were loaded.The deputy captain who followed him smiled bitterly.As he and the knights returned to the Knights' Exercise Hall, they were the first to leave the King's Residence.

The knights were allowed to attend the seniority ceremony, but only the Knight Commander and Deputy Commander could attend the subsequent festival if they peeked at the main recruits.The non-guard knights returned to the Knights' Exercise Hall after the recital ceremony.Alan, one of those knights, replies with a smile or nod.

The reclassification ceremony, which is the moment when newly arrived knights who pass the enlistment examination every year, is a ceremony that has many hopes of joining the Knights.Especially in recent years, very few knights have been allowed to join the army under the policy of the Knight Commander.There are only three of them by this year.

Many knights want to see the sunny days of recruits who have been supporting the Knights of the Corps since they were recruits.If there was a knight with thoughts, it would be too much.And this year, all the Knights' attention recruits decided to join the Knights of the Corps in the lead.

Arthur Beresford

Everyone was excited about the jump in the youth who had not been aiming for knights rather than recruits until just two years ago.

Naturally, they are the sons of a respected Knights Commander, but many of them know about the Knights ambush two years ago in the current Knights.The boy who appeared at that time was recruited the following year, and this year was the first to enlist.Moreover, it was impossible to say that I would not want to see it if I were to be appointed the first princess who would be in charge of the classification ceremony from last year.

As a result, many more knights than usual were killed this year's entrance to the reclassification ceremony.Basically, all the knights except the captain who was confirmed to attend wanted to attend, so each captain chose the required number of people from his own team.

Alan, the captain of the team, did not leak, but I think it was more difficult to select than just correct his posture.I even think it would have been better if it had been a fight because it was too much trouble.

"Alan, be careful. Don't forget it's only inside the castle."

To Alan, who behaved in a popular way, the column fell off his hand, which was stretched out to heaven, as he walked fast.

They are the same captains, but the column has a better captain record.

Alan slightly squeezed his shoulders back to pay attention as he was used to it, but the column was embarrassed with a glance while paying for his forehair with his fingertips.It was the royal palace that passed, but I don't know where anyone sees and hears too prominent words and deeds anymore in the castle.If it stops in the eyes of the upper echelons and nobles, the column thinks it could lead to an assessment of the entire Knights.

"But, Column, don't you think?It's Arthur, isn't it? "

"Not only Arthur, but all three recruits will be delighted."

As usual, Alan is overflowing with the words of the decisive column, saying, "It's hard."

Alan knows that Arthur's birth is emotional for Column.At that time, it was the column that cared most about him from the very beginning if he was still a knight.

It was a column where Arthur didn't have much opportunity to get involved after he became a recruit, but he didn't bother to let Arthur know what he cared about or came into contact with.

He could not remember himself because of his father's crisis.As soon as I became a Knight of the Corps, I didn't want to be thankful and say "back then."Just do what you can as a new elite, without any special treatment like any other recruit.

"How was Harrison? It was next to you."

"There was no problem as a participant.... but as soon as I left, I disappeared. "

Hah... Alan exhaled loudly at the words of the column that dropped his shoulders at the sigh.

Harrison, who attended the ceremony as a Knight Captain, ran off to the Knights' Exercise Stadium faster than anyone else when he left the Royal Palace rather than leaving the King's Residence like Alan.I'm sure they'll be slashing their subordinates without asking questions by now.

It's definitely a sunny day for Arthur that I've been seeing for two years.Harrison was ambushing his men at the time of yesterday's entrance exam, when he decided to take the lead.As he continued to grow his hair from one point to the next, he felt more afraid of the person he was attacking.Different from the old days, the educators started adding a lot of effort.

It was Harrison who was just tense during the reclassification ceremony, but he kept staring at Arthur without a blink since the beginning of his reclassification.The moment he was appointed by Pride, Harrison heard a slight breathtaking sound, but dared to put it in his chest.

"The real Eighth Squad is tough...!... that's right, what do you think? Arthur's volunteer destination "

"Affiliation application. The Knight Commander will explain after the celebration... Well, it's your team, Alan."

Volunteer to join the main team.

A knight who has been appointed as the main cavalry is an important choice to volunteer for his cavalry.After each person submits an application to the Knights Commander by the end of the day, a decision will be made the next morning in light of the person's strengths and wishes.

If a knight decides to join the lead army, his hopes will probably pass.Alan's team has the highest number of volunteers in the Knights.

They are the most advanced unit in combat, but they often belong to the 2nd unit rather than the most when they volunteer.If you do not show the right strength from the time you join the main unit, you will be appointed to the 2nd unit in the same avant-garde.

The position is the same, but there is a big difference between the first and second platoons.One of the popular factors is that the most popular team as a knight is the former affiliation of current Knight Commander Roderick.Not all the Knights of all generations are the best, but there are a lot of them.If you are aiming for the summit of the Knights, there are not many knights who think they are the best.

It was easy for any knight to imagine that Arthur, his son, chose his father's former army.

No ~ There's a third squad too, right?The Arthur guy seems to miss you a lot. "

Already, and.

Alan didn't deny the column, saying it with a smile.

I've never spoken to Arthur about two years ago.And never from Arthur.But it was clear to everyone that Arthur, like the other knights, was looking at the column with respect.

Even if not two years ago, everyone knows the care of the column and the breadth of the field of view.The column that gives not only guidance to the 3rd and 4th squadrons, but also counseling and advice to all knights at times is highly supportive.Recruits who are looking after and admiring the Knight of the Corps also have a lot of admiration and respect for the column.It was not uncommon for recruits who wanted the 3rd Platoon because of the column as their ideal boss.And Arthur has been respecting the column since he was a recruit.

However, like the first squad, the third squad often belongs to the fourth squad where they wish.Since the Column assumed the position of Knight Captain, there has been an increase in the number of units in the past, and since the third team has achieved results, it is unnecessary.

"Arthur is not like the back guard.Actual action is appropriate.The sword is the longest, but the horse is also good.I saw the gun before, but it wasn't bad.Besides, I'm good at getting rid of the signs quickly, so I can jump in 9th. "

Alan laughed as he turned his hands to the back of his head as he continued to analyze Arthur's possibilities.

In the end, it means that a large team can do it.If Arthur has a good sense of judgment, Team 3... I think Alan would be able to do it with Team 4, even if it's difficult, but I do think he's a better worker than the rear guard, as I was told.I looked forward to the announcement of my father's affiliation or the column's affiliation from now on.

Realistic... As soon as I thought about it, there was just one more team on Alan's head and on the column, but they both swallowed it without saying anything.I judge in my chest that it doesn't suit Arthur.

It does not mean that the specialized type does not suit like the 3rd and 4th Corps, it means as a human nature.I think other teams can get along anywhere, but that team is too different from Arthur.

While the explanations and characteristics of each team from the time of recruitment are natural, the atmosphere of the team is naturally perceived while taking on auxiliary tasks.I don't think Arthur would have chosen to go first without knowing the details if he knew the air of the Eighth Company.

"Ah, yes, Captain Alan."

Suddenly a voice was heard from behind, and the two of them looked back without stopping their feet.

He is the best knight in the squad."I'm sorry during the conversation," the column answered the knight behind the captain and lowered his head.Alan said, "What's the matter?"and returned the words in a light tone.He is still a knight for a year, but Alan, one of his men, knows the name of the column.

"Thank you very much for choosing me for this appointment..."

"Ah, good is good. It was a coincidence that you won the book, and there's the arrangement. You were lucky to be near me."

Alan shook his hand laughing at the knight who tried to lower his head again and again.

The selection criteria were assigned to each captain in this seniority ceremony.In other words, it was Alan who chose his team first.And in fact, it was not an appropriate or coincidence, but a selection based on his arbitrariness and prejudice to try to make him a knight of reason in one of the cases two years ago.

Especially now, the knight who bows his head to himself is a knight who had a strong sense of pride from the time he joined the army and regretted it two years ago.Then this reclassification ceremony was chosen by Alan who thought he would never be missed, and pulled out of the rear row during the alignment. Thanks to him, the reclassification ceremony where he first joined as a Knight of the Corps was able to attend at the nearest place.

A year ago, when I was resigned, Pride and Arthur went to meet him and burned into his chest.

"Besides, what do you think, Eric?Which team does Arthur volunteer for? "

"Arthur?... Well, honestly, I'd be glad to have you with us."

He also nodded the column to Eric, the knight of the battalion, who scratched his head with a light smile.

I don't think Team Three is Arthur's type, but I think he'd be welcome to join us.And it's the same for every squad.

Only the Knight Commander and the Deputy Commander can tell if it was the team of the person's first wish, since only the decision is made when the team to which they belong is appointed.However, the new crew has a system that can always be welcomed by any team.In recent years, it has been difficult to imagine because there has been no squad that has been downsized in a biased manner.

While laughing at Eric's answer with pleasant approval, Alan thinks that the likelihood that his team will be determined is a different ability from his own.

"Sure. Oh, did Arthur have special abilities? What is it?"

"Special abilities are not the only determinants of a squad.Besides, it's personal freedom to specialize and move. "

I don't care about special abilities, and I dare not give Alan a specific capability name for the column that understands Arthur's special abilities.The column remembers that he said two years ago that he thought of it as a complex.

Some people choose to belong to Sniper Squad 5 with special abilities, while others with special abilities for transparency and temperature sensing often volunteer for Sniper Squad 9.That is why many people have chosen to be knights to take advantage of their special abilities from the beginning.

However, it is the person's ability to see both the entrance exam and the entrance exam.It is only a specialization after enlistment has been decided, such as special abilities.It is up to the individual to make use of it in his or her place of work.

Even if it can't be used in battle, the Knights are looking for talented men without those elements.

Indeed, Alan replied lightly to the slightly sketchy response from the column.If the column doesn't say it is a reason other than that I don't remember, lightly hit it.

While listening to the conversation between the two captains, Eric made a few old memories.Only for a short period of time, when I was involved as a recruit, I did talk to some recruits about going up to the main team.Arthur was hardly lost after the Knight of the Ancient Stocks once again told us the characteristics and details of each unit.

Ning, that's all you have to say.

I didn't ask which team I chose, but Eric only concluded in his head that his hopes had not changed since then.

……

"... we were surprised when Arthur chose Team 8, Roderick."

While there were only two of them in the familiar tavern as usual, Deputy Commander Clark threw a slightly distant shot.

Ah, Roderick, the Knight Commander who replies with a low voice, also drops his gaze while holding his heavy head down.I remember the surprise when I saw the application submitted by Arthur a month ago.

As soon as I finished explaining and distributing my application, Arthur submitted it first.After just saying, "Please," he smacked me in the chest and left early enough to get away from asking me why.Roderick and Clark thought it was a mistake when we checked the application.But there was nothing wrong with the handwriting.

"Eighth squad was a squad that gathered knights that were judged unsuitable for collaboration unless they wanted to."

And it is easy for the person with such awareness to volunteer.

Roderick dressed his teeth, but in the end he was a team that gathered people who were inhumane, who disrupted collective behavior, who overwhelmed others with strength, and exclusive humans, or individualistic humans.Looking back on his generation, Roderick still thinks it's a mystery why Arthur volunteered there.I'm not dissatisfied that I didn't volunteer for my first squad, but I have a strong question as to why I joined the eighth squad.I nodded suddenly that there would be such a way if it wasn't for Team 8.

"But I decided that Arthur's strength would not be a problem.Appointment is a matter for us to decide with reference to the will of the individual. "

That's right, Clark returns one word.

He is always louder now.Clark also gave a crooked smile as he leaned over to the counter instead of taking the jock to a friend in one hand.

At that time, I laughed at Harrison's reaction to the announcement, but now something else is over.On the way, with Clark exhaling, Roderick leaned his jock and emptied it.Gun! Put it on the bottom of the counter and pour the liquor again.

"It is only the result of considering the person's abilities.No other elements are required. The person's intentions are informative and have nothing to do with blood, special abilities, or family status. "

"Oh, that's right.... but this is what I'm thinking, Roderick. Arthur...."

Cut off your words and smile bitterly with your eyebrows down.

When Roderick gave me only his gaze, Clark continued to sigh.

I thought you should have been assigned to the Seventh.

"I didn't know it at the time, so there's nothing I can do about it.Arthur is safe with the Eighth Squad for now.I keep telling you, special abilities are irrelevant. "

"But Roderick, it's the most uncomfortable squad in the whole team.Rescue specialists are essential on the battlefield, and there are cases where injuries are derived from illness. "

"Clark, it's over, give up.You're not drunk yet. "

"I'm not drunk at all. I'm in trouble."

The night Arthur confessed to his true special abilities.

The two of them drank it out in the usual tavern, but they didn't stop drinking even though they emptied quite a few bottles.

Both were happy and helpless that Arthur was impressed with the special abilities he felt when he was a child, and that he told us to use them for ourselves if we needed them.Thanks to me, the alcohol was delicious for hours, but after drinking it to some satisfaction, I really thought about it.I think I made a mistake with Arthur's team.

Special abilities do not determine affiliation.However, it is also true that the deputy commander of the Knights is chosen more appropriately than he wishes.

For example, if the team is better at guns than in approaching battles, go to the 5th team.Conversely, even if someone with a special ability to treat injuries volunteers for the 7th Squad, if they are excellent at working with swords and nearby combat abilities, they may be appointed to the 1st Squad.The Knights of the Kingdom are not a hobby or a ministry, but a duty next to death fighting for life.

If I learned about Arthur's special abilities in the meantime, I would still think I should be transferred to the Seventh Corps.

Has a good sense of judgment, is young in battle, and has a high level of strength.And! If Arthur, who has a special ability to cure illness, is in the position of rescue in the 7th Company, the death rate in knights and duty stations will be reduced more than ever.It's natural to hide special abilities, but it's still that leaky ability.Considering that he had unconsciously prevented the illness of the recruits for a year, the achievement was like being pushed to judgment.

At least it suits Arthur much better than the Eighth.

"Ha... hahaha... I'm still here, my friend."

Drink more, my friend.

Don, don't.

Clark picked up a new bottle of wine on Roderick's counter while scratching up his hanging forehair.

I do not regret that Arthur enlisted the Eighth Company.I don't really intend to move it now.But when I flipped my judgment like this, my emotions mixed up too much.

Surprised and delighted at Arthur's discovery of his special abilities, they filled each other's jocks while being pushed by alcohol to imagine a slight sense of defeat. The two cheers echoed several times.

"If Arthur finds out about his special abilities, he'll hear a plea from Team Seven."

"But Harrison won't let go.Arthur is stubborn. Because he's my son. "

That's right, if Clark blew it out unexpectedly, Roderick would be caught this time.

In the midst of a double laughter, the two people's drinking lasted until morning.
