The Kingdom is late at night and came early in the morning.

Especially those who do business as a living are awake before sunrise and begins to prepare for opening when the day rises completely. There are some people who go out through the stalls for such people, so there is a lot of vitality on the main street, which is not felt early in the morning.

Among them, the two of the white armored figures that walked from the front stood out.

Wearing a polished mirror-like body armor, and looking at the appearance of walking with a dashing shoulder, people open the way naturally for the two. Even a few people lowered their heads. A pure white armor is a color that represents loyalty to a royal family that is not allowed to be worn if not a knight of the Kingdom Knights.

In other words a Knight. A Knight who protects the kingdom and the people.

I knew that it was a big man and a small man from the distance, but as I approached, It was a man who I didn’t know at all and that the other was my acquaintance.

The other side notice my existence and looking at me with his little glance.

 “…..Nild” (Rai)

He was a man who should be called a childhood friend with the school where children from 7 to 13 years old have been taking classes in the same classroom all the time. After graduation, he went on to a knight school and knew that he became a knight as it is, but for the first time I saw his figure that actually became a knight like this.

It is necessary to congratulate him as a childhood friend though he was a man who has had a lot of troubles in the past. If you become a knight, you can name the chivalry of your child. In other words, it can become a noble family.

However, it is dark feelings without such pleasure to have filled my chest. It was pitiful, and only the feelings of jealousy.

I was standing in the middle of the road with a face that I could not say anything like that and he approaches me.

 

 “Yoo, It’s been a while”(Nild)

“……May I ask who are you?”(Rai)

 

He  talked to me suddenly, I was thinking of leaving, probably not bad.

I wanted to leave the two as soon as possible, but he grabs my shoulder with a thick arm suitable for a big body, he has come close to my face and spoke.

 

“Oi oi, did not you say you forgot about me?”(Nild)

 “No, I don’t know. I don’t remember.”(Rai)

 “ha ha! Are you kidding me?” (Nild)

“It’s not a joke. Are you not mistaken?” (Rai)

“I’m not mistaken!, look at my face!

 

What are you doing to look at me properly with pitiful face?

Even without seeing so much, If I listen to him, I will remember even if I do not like it.

 

 “Aah. During the entrance examination of the knight school, you are the guy who I beat, right? ” (Rai)

“No! You used a lowly move so I was put to disgrace! This coward!” (Nild)

 “lowly trick?” (Rai)

 

It’s reminding me of the past seven years.

At the entrance examination to the knight school, a mock battle between students who applied for was held and the opponent who I fought in mock battle was this big guy. But, his face hasn’t changed since that time, this guy! his personality too.

Even when fighting in front of the examiners with me, He appeals how good he is and abuse me. As a result, I declared to defeat him with a single blow, and he lost with a single blow.

*Not real

“Where in that fair game do you have a reason for being called a coward?” (Rai)

“There is much there!? There is no entrance examination of the knight school, only apply to selected people in the first place!” (Nild)

“….There was no such rule in first place” (Rai)

 “It’s because everyone knows it’s not even bother. No more than a B-rank skills or people who have no magic skills do not apply for a knight school. That’s the unspoken agreement​. But you did apply. Even that alone was hard to forgive, and you tried to use any means, envy the excellent me, and try to get rid of it by a sneaky means. You’re an unforgivable coward!” (Nild)

“After all, is it your opposition against losing?” (Rai)

“I am not defeated! Nevertheless, I have not lost!” (Nild)

 

So yelling at me loudly, he turned around and smiled with a grinning smile.

 

“Yes, I have not lost to you, because the examiners admit that time, so you fell in the next interview and I was accepted.” (Nild)

“… … …” (Rai)

 

That is a fact. I can see it with pure white armor.

In the mock match of the first Test, the outcome was not directly linked to the test. Of course you have to win, but you have to struggle even if you lose. It is not the ability at that time to be required for the examination in the Knight School but the future.

So, when I was asked to disclose the status in the second exam, I told my status and said:

 

“Certainly my status can not be read by anyone! I do not know skills! But I definitely have a high swordsman skill! I will be stronger than anyone!” (Rai)

 

The man who became a knight sings raise the voice loudly, too. It was the caustic that I had in front of the people who were in turmoil at that time. The guy who interviewed at the same time was remembering the words at that time.

I remember and laughed.

 

“You’re going to be strong? You have a swordsman skill? Who can be trusted to show such an incomprehensible status? Don’t be ridiculous​!” (Examiner)

 

Yes, nobody believed me.

The result is me now. And, the man in front of me.

I who can’t read the status, won the match. I was unable to enroll, and this guy who had a high swordsman skill who lost the match accomplished the enrollment. That was the end of the day.

 

“Whether it’s okay, Humans have their own paths to go forward, it is the right path to go up to the rookie in line with the skills given by God, there is no suitable skill It is nothing but an insult to future heroes who aspire to be knights! ” (Nild)

 

No one who surrounded this word disagree against this word. Rather, it does turn into same opinion.

He seemed to make it feel better, and he continued to look at me with “reasonable” words.

 

“The world is wide, there seems to be some people who do not even have that rank … … the job of a dirty adventurer is truly suitable for you bast*rd.” (Nild)

*uh!* (Rai) (SFX:pain)

 

It was the limits of my disappointment.

I harden my fist trying to strike his face that sneering at me.

But there was a voice that stopped before I actually hit it.

 

“It’s an exaggeration. There are a lot of former adventurers among the pioneers of our knights. ” (Christoper)

“… … Sir Christopher is sure a gentle person”  (Nild)

 

Being careful about his companion, if I thought of closing that noisy mouth, he continued looking down at me.

 

“If you are an advanced adventurer, you may be scouted by a knight. It was not possible to enter the Knight School, joining by the recommendation from the current five knights. That’s the only way to be a knight. But only a handful of talented adventurers are allowed to succeed. It’s a dream that can’t be fulfilled by a man like you son of b*tch. ” (Nild)

“… … Such a thing, you will not know without trying it.” (Rai)

“Waahahah! This is a masterpiece! You have not given up to become a knight yet? Well, you already an adult, a distinction between a dream and a delusion is thin!” (Nild)

 

Just before I tried to laugh at that face, even I can take that role to the one who was there.

 

” Christ, Christopher, what are you doing?” (Nild)

“I told you to stop, refrain from saying things that will knock off the knights dignity anymore, otherwise I will go seriously” (Christopher)

 “I… I know” (Nild)

 

He gave up the upper jaw to his chin while walking out following his companion who left his tears in his eyes while restarting his walk.

Of course, I won’t forget this humiliation at the end.

 

 “Bye, the adventurer whom the name I never heard! Please continue your useless effort at best!” (Nild)

“… … Sorry” (Christopher)

 

When passing, only the apology was put in a small voice to the behavior of the companion, and the two knights left.

I glared at his back for a while.

To open a distance between childhood friend and myself.

I could only keep the glare.
