Chapter 18 (1/2)

“By the way, Heath, which division are you with?”

“Just so you know,” began Remié, “Slad and I are in the 5th Division, and Geith is with the 9th.”

“I’m with the 18th Division,” she replied, between munching on her Hamburg steak.

Suddenly, the whole room went into an uproar.

Because not everybody was in the dorms yet, the dining hall was spa.r.s.ely populated, but every person there had their eyes on Fii.

And the three boys dining with her were no exception.

“The 18th!?”

“Is that true, Heath!?”

“Mn. It is, but…?”

Although she was a little surprised at everybody’s reactions, Fii never stopped eating.

“Is it really something so shocking?” she asked in confusion, when Remié’s visibly excited face shot near.

“Of course it’s shocking! Everybody looks up to the 18th!

“Usually the most talented apprentices join the 1st Division, but there are plenty of people who want to join the 18th even more, you know! Not just us apprentices either! Even plenty of full knights want to join!

“But you have to be chosen by York-sama to join, and n.o.body’s ever joined as an apprentice, you know! n.o.body even thought it was possible!”

“I-, I see…”

Considering the quiet and gentle Remié, it came as a shock that he would suddenly talk so much.

“Just how on earth were you chosen!?”

“Yeah, tell us, Heath!”

Even Geith and Slad had incredible expressions. It was a little scary.

Fii too was in awe at the change.

But this was something that everyone in the entire room wanted to know.

If they knew how she did it, perhaps they too would have a chance!

Everybody in the dining hall waited with baited breath.

“Umm, apparently Captain picked me out.”
