CH 7 · Living in the Order Of Knights
(TL - ah the mc is a fresh breath of air compared to that s.h.i.thead)
{ED - finally, that s.h.i.tf.u.c.kER is gone}
I was being challenged by the Knights of the Order everyday.
There are many people in the position of the Knights Candidate.
Since a special building was attached to the castle to accommodate the Knight Candidates, I stayed in the dorm that was located there.
I was doing rigorous training day and night in order to become a Knight of the Order.
I can"t fail… I can"t afford to.
The schedule of the knights candidates are pretty harsh.
Morning – Training before breakfast, Foundational training of body strength.
(TL - AKA normal training such as push-ups, sit downs, weight lifting etc.)
Noon – Lecture and training. Learn the history of the kingdom along with the courtesies and the manners as a knight.
Night – Training with mock battles and gifts. This is the hardest thing to do for me.
Repeating such a life, three days have pa.s.sed since Lyrica departed.
I have heard that there was a rumour that stated that the heroes have slain one of the Demon Generals. In other words, Lyrica’s trip is proceeding smoothly.
When I heard it, I got more and more motivated to train.
The reason I am training so hard is because of Lyrica and Sere, for them I want to be a good husband.
I want to be the shoulder that they can cry on!
Today, I will also train like a slave.
For them, I will not regret it even if I have to die.
(TL - Such a manly man….)
My gift remained meaningless as ever.
It would not activate even if I call unto it from the depths of my soul. That is why I was such a sensational news for quite a while amongst the knight candidates.
However, only my sword skills were top level among candidates. It has yet to be defeated even by The Knights of the Order. The deputy head of the Knights also has a keen eye on my sword skill.
However, you cannot win a fight against a knight with just sword skill. Because of my gift not awakening, I part of the weakest amongst the group of the Knight Candidates.
You cannot win in a fight without a gift, that is the cruel reality.
I crushed the opponents known as knight candidates in mock battles. But as soon as they used their gifts, the tables turned … … that is… I lost.
I visited the great priest and confirmed it over and over, but my gift is definitely asleep. The great priest did not know why the gift could not be used.
d.a.m.n it, I can"t become a knight this way!
Lyrica…
Sere…
The number of knights chosen from the knight candidates is decided as 10 people every year.
Compared to that, there are over 300 knight candidates. The top 10 of these can be knights.
The knights are chosen by their sword skills, etiquette, and strength judged by an examination. They are chosen after comprehensively judging these three factors. I learned etiquette from my father, and I was a master in the sword skill.
My only problem was… that I lacked strength.
The most necessary thing was missing from me.
After the mock battles were over, the training for that day was considered complete.
The last candidate who fought with me, fought with a style that combined flames with a sword. Fighting the flame "til the last blow, and at the moment that I got frightened, the sword stopped near my neck and I lost.
I cannot win against anyone with a gift.
I went on my way to the cafeteria and get some dinner to eat.
(TL - why do I suddenly feel hungry?)
“Ha~~~~~” (Light)
“Why do you look so depressed, Light?”(Winnie)
“Well, you know what they say, "every time you sigh, a small amount of happiness escapes"”(Regulus)
“…… Regulus, Winnie”(Light)
“Oh, I’m going to eat, are you going to eat too Light?”(Regulus)
"Come on, eat with us! "(Winnie)
“Is it okay? Am I not getting in the way?” (Light)
“I"m inviting you, come on!" (Regulus)
These two are Regulus and Winnie. They are the friends that I made while I was a part of the Knight Candidate group. By the way, these two are dating.
“You guys … It feels good being able to talk to friends.” (Light)
“Hehehe” (Winnie)
“Yeah~~” (Regulus)
These two people also have a high level of strength among the knight candidates.
Regulus can neutralize attacks with his “Neutralize” gift, and Winnie can “liquefy” her body and clothes into a muddy liquid. It is invincible to say it bluntly. These two people became friends with me for some reason.
Anyway, I got hungry so I went to the dining room. During dinnertime, there were many other candidates.
“Well, mock battles are just mock battles, so don"t get down.” (Winnie)
“Oh yeah, there"s still over half a year until the Knight Selection Exam.” (Regulus)
“But … … I still don"t know what kind of gift I have, and I will never become a knight without a gift at this rate.” (Light)
We talked while we ate today’s recommended meals.
A meal with fish and vegetables were considered as a well-balanced and nutritious meal for Knight Candidates.
“Haa … …. I can"t become a knight this way” (Light)
“Let’s not get worried so much, we haven"t seen a guy that could become a knight in the first years of Knight Candidates. There was even a guy who remained as a candidate even after ten years have pa.s.sed.” (Winnie)
“Oh yeah, I haven"t heard it before, why does Light want to be a knight?” (Regulus)
Speaking of which, I never had such a conversation about my motives with these two people.
“Oh, I have two girls I’d like to get married to, but I can"t get married twice if I am a commoner, I can marry the both of them if I became a knight!” (Light)
“…………” (Winnie)
“…………” (Regulus)
Well, they were slightly astonished at my reason.
I wonder, am I possibly an idiot for having such a stupid reason to become a knight?
“No, no, it"s an awesome reason now that I think!” (Winnie)
“Well, yeah, I aim to be a knight for marriage … … when I heard it for the first time” (Regulus)
“Oh well? I have been saying that from the start?” (Winnie)
But this is my goal since I was a child.
I promised to marry the two who will kill the Demon King.
To get stronger, I do not need a gift.
I ate my dinner and left the cafeteria for some alone time.
(TL - why do I think that he"s going to fap)
