I was exposed as the strongest magician to my sister, who has severe brother complex. I can no longer hide my abilities at school! - Chapter 17 : Knight Commander!
Chapter 17 : Knight Commander!
Although there will be an entrance exam, it all began with a meeting of the recruits who wished to join the knight’s order.
This time, there were ten new recruits who wanted to join, including Alvin.
Considering that the current members of the knight order is about thirty, the number is slightly low.
I am Alec Jindelk, the third son of the Viscount Zinderk! Since I was a child, I’ve admired knights and wished to train here! Thank you very much!”
A lively voice of a young man echoed.
Hope, expectation, and a hint of nervousness was mixed within his voice. Even though the ages aren’t much different, the start always feels like this.
In front of them are seniors, both in the academy and as knight apprentices.
Therefore, various emotions fill them in the place where they have to present themselves in front of everyone.
Observing such scenes, even those watching were filled with vitality. “We were like this too, it’s nostalgic.” Looking at the stars of the future…
“Boooooooooo!!!”
“Go home, bastards!”
“We didn’t invite you, brat!”
“Suck on your mom’s breasts, trash!”
A simultaneous start of booing… Haah… It’s an unforgiving workplace.
“I’m Sophia, a healer specializing in recovery! Uh, I’m not a knight apprentice like everyone else, but… I’ll do my best in the knight order!”
After several self-introductions, it’s finally the turn of the oasis that appeared in the desert.
She looked extremely nervous, and the slightly strained voice and cute gestures naturally caught everyone’s attention.
It’s quite different from the boy who hoped to join earlier. There’s an atmosphere more like, ‘Is she going to be okay?’ than expectation.
“Yahooo!”
“Welcome to our knight order!”
“We wholeheartedly welcome you!”
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask anything!”
However, it was a considerable change in the palm of their hands.
The fact that they were eagerly ready to help her at any time clearly revealed gender discrimination.
“Um… I’m Alvin Astalea. Nice to meet you.”
And so, Alvin’s final self-introduction begins.
However, Alvin succinctly and lazily thought it was a pain. It was quite different from Sophia and the hopeful recruits were filled with expectations.
But…
Hey! We’ve been waiting for you, Alvin-san!”
“Welcome to our knight order!”
“Alvin-san, cheer up a bit more!”
“Let’s do our best together!”
“Kyaa! Al-kun is cool today too!”
The knights, who became friends through body language, welcomed Alvin warmly.
It seems like a solid hierarchy has been built internally.
For some reason, there was a burst of yellow cheers, but it’s probably not worth worrying about.
“Tch…”
On the other hand, among the knights and also the vice-captain, Louis clicks his tongue, seeming displeased.
Naturally, from the perspective of Louis, the only ordinary person, Alvin’s attitude without motivation is worthy of criticism.
However, due to the past incident where he was blown away in a single hit, he can’t openly complain.
“Huh? Didn’t you just click your tongue at Al-kun?”
“Could you not suddenly make a scary face?”
Moreover, since there’s a companion next to him who is doting on his younger brother, he can’t say anything.
If he says something here, regardless of his position as vice-captain, he might become a target for Cecil and Alvin, who are more powerful.
“All right! The self-introductions of the recruits are done here!”
Cecil, who suddenly regained her usual tone, steps forward to the hopeful recruits.
“First of all, thank you all for wishing to join the knight order! I am Vice-Captain Cecil Astarea! Also, I’m Al-kun’s big sister, just so you know!”
It’s unnecessary information, Alvin thought.
“Now, nice to meet you all ─ although I’d like to say that… as you all know, being in the knight order is a dangerous job. I don’t think any of you came with half-hearted feelings, but if your abilities don’t match, we can’t let you cross the threshold.”
Cecil’s earnest voice reaches the ears of the hopeful recruits.
As there’s a risk to life, those in higher positions cannot easily take on responsibility.
It seems the hopeful recruits understand that, as they all listen with a tense expression.
“Therefore, as our knightly tradition, we’re starting the entrance exam right now!”
““Uoooooooohhhhhhh!!!””
In contrast to the hopeful candidates, the knights led by Cecil showed excitement.
As it is a customary event, the knights present here have naturally cleared the entrance exam before.
Furthermore, this time they are spectators, not participants. So, for them, it’s a bit of a festive mood.
“Um… What exactly is the entrance exam?” Sofia timidly raises her hand to ask.
Cecil responds with a cheerful smile, “That’s a good question! But before that, there’s someone I need to introduce — oh, if we talk about it, she finally makes her appearance!”
Cecil turned her face towards the entrance, and the candidates followed her gaze.
There stood a girl with glossy silver hair, exuding elegance and a hint of childishness in her atmosphere, with a cute and refined face.
The moment the candidates saw this girl, their nervousness turned into bewilderment.
“Why is she here?” someone whispered.
Alvin shared the same sentiment.
After all…..
“Let me introduce her! The leader of our academy’s knightly order… and also the second princess of this country, Liselotte Laleria!”
…She is a member of the royal family of this kingdom.
“Come on… I told you to stop introducing me like that, Cecil. It’s embarrassing.”
“Well, Lise-chan was late, so I had no choice!”
“I was simply called by the instructor…”
Saying so, Liselotte sighed at her noisy friend.
Alvin had never expected that the captain of the knight order is the second princess, which was quite a surprise for him. The name of the captain had not been disclosed until now. Basically, in the eyes of the candidates, Cecil and Louis were the faces with the highest authority, and the captain was a mysterious figure.
But still, this was like opening a treasure chest filled with riches.
“Returning to the topic, the entrance exam is to ‘land a hit on the captain!’ Just so you know…”
Cecil directed a mischievous smile, reminiscent of successfully pulling off a prank, towards the candidates.
“Lise-chan is stronger than me, okay? So, everyone… put your spirit into it and do your best while spitting blood!”
