Vol 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)
One day, Ernesti sat with his ar with a serious expression The reason was the letter spread on the table before him, with 'Laihiala Pilot Acadeht and a half years, he finally received an offer to attend Laihiala Pilot Academy
Even though Laihiala Academy had the teroal of being a Knight or a Knight runner One reason was the sponsorshi+p frodom for primary and s studied there Fremmevira's education system differed from modern compulsory education, a result of the special circumstances of the nation
The Knights existed to protect the citizens, but there were lapses in their defence due to the large area under their protection The Knights were usually deployed after the discovery of a Dey This hts round, at some point the farmers hoped to possess skills to protect themselves, which was fulfiled by the nation in short order, by setting up a ministry and related facilities to teach thee needed for defence In the end, Fremmevira was not a peaceful nation; even the farmers needed to pick up weapons to defend themselves
With this back-story, a trend of setting up education facilities was started all over the country Laihiala Pilot Acaderaphic location near the Capital and enroled students ere peasants, merchants, and even nobles The acadericultural faculty, a business faculty, a pilot faculty, etc All majors included classes on combat techniques, but most of the curriculum was tailored to make the students employable The school holds many different classes to accommodate the family circumstances of its students, as well Students need to attend at least 3 years of class and achieve a certain level of proficiency to graduate
”Hey, what's troubling you? You wanted to be a Knight, right? Just take the Knighthood major”
”Bothering you? Is it sohthood major is too easy'?”
Knights certified to ride on Silhouette Knights are known as Knight runners Eru's family knew about his ambition, and Chid and Ady had heard about it several times, too
It is not easy to becohts are 'weapons', so created to protect the nation That's why, it requires years of training before it is possible to pilot one
”Father, I have a question, does the Knighthood rades?”
”With the efforts you put in, and your ical capabilities, that is certainly possible but the Knighthood major is different Not only are you tested on your sword and h ethics lessons, and you have never learned about ethics officially, correct?”
”Silhouette Knight pilot training is the final class before you enter pilot school Students usually enroll at age 15 But for you eh, if you are not tall enough, there won't be a suitable machine for you to pilot”
Eru looked down in utter disappointiant robots of his drea, but no one would bla But not everything will go your way Eru wanted to change the mood in the room, when he felt a shadow loo before him
Seeing his etic face, Eru opened his eyes wide and shook his head
Eru stopped suddenly as he re, surprised by his oords and closed his ave birth to a new possibility
Tina tilted her head in confusion, as she watched Eru slowly raise his head with resolve
”Make what?”
”A Silhouette Knight I will make one myself”
”EEru? Are you serious?”
”Wait Wait a ?”
Everyone was stunned, was Eru thinking of hogging a Silhouette Knight for himself? Aside from a handful of powerful nobles andand oing the pilot route is a short cut compared to this That is the common sense of this world, but for the robot nerd from an alternate world, Eru didn't care about all that
Chid and Ady put their hands on their foreheads when they saw Eru's evil smile, they knew that this was bad The normal Eru would always act maturely with a casual air But he had an unbelievably passionate side to hi unexpectedly Chid and Ady felt that they were looking at Eru's true obsessive nature
”Yes! I aoneht?”
”Eru I understand how you feel, but it is not as simple as you think”
”I see alright, then But, work hard on your Knight lessons, too”
Eru had no hesitation on his face Ady started patting Eru's head for so impressed
” I am a bit concerned with the way you put it, but there is no reason to give up when there are choices for me to take”
Because of how I look, normal methods won't work on me
”Well I ao to school in Laihiala”
” I don't want to lose, Eru is too a”
”Noth Nothing Okay, let's work hard to be Knights!”
Chid and Ady had decided to hthood, too The three of theether at Laihiala Pilot Academy, and looked forward to their campus life in the future
== CE 1274
Laihiala Pilot Academy didn't only take in students fro city, and all over the nation Taking into account the possibility of a Demon beast attacks and traffic conditions, most of the students leave for academy city early, so new faces could be seen around the dormitory in recent days
Laihiala Acadeiant city wall, but Laihiala Pilot Acadeh its purpose was to derounds, with the vast amount of land that makes up the academy, the continuous line of walls extended to the streets, beco a well-known landmark
”You can go in as much as you like from now on”
The group walked along the wall and reached the tall school gates shortly This was thestudents will ride on Silhouette Knights, the gates were adjusted to accoht The door ide open for the entrance ceremony
The most important part of the schedule was the entrance cereiven by the teachers After lunch, the teachers would lead their students away, and give theh they were divided into various faculties, primary school focused more on the basics, with common modules across the whole school year The division was very vague, and the contents only start to vary during middle school
”It's great that we don't need others to lead us, but it is easy to lose track of Eru He is really small”
”I didn't grow much either”
”I' to leave Chid and Ady behind”
”I'm not okay with that”
The cererand hall filled with tense freshmen
It was lunch tiroup headed for the school canteen Soht food there; others took out their lunch boxes Upperclassmen, ere familiar with the place headed to the eateries outside the campus Everyone settled down to eat their lunch in their oay, but the cafeteria reroup sat in a corner of the canteen
The other two had unketh black hair, a boy and girl who shared a si
Fro in colances, no one had the courage to approach them
”But we found a place to sit ireat”
Eru chatted with Batson as he ate his crepe covered in pie crust It was a mini crepe with pie crust that was easy to carry, and fitted nicely into Eru's small hand Ady looked very pleased, as she watched Eru eat the biscuit in silence
”Doesn't matter, you didn’t listen to them anyway Chid Didn't you fall asleep?”
There were empty seats at their table Eru felt e with thenored all of this, and walked towards them
She was obviously older than Eru and the others, an upperclassman There was no standard uniform in Laihiala Pilot Academy Her clothes seemed to be low profile but well uessed she hter of wealthy merchants or aristocrats
The pretty girl who came uninvited smiled as she looked at the tense twins, then faced Eru and Batson Her sentler as she introduced herself
Eru was lost for a moment, but he put down his half bitten biscuit, sat properly and replied:
”It's fine, I' tilad you are both healthy”
”Long time no see, Stefania onee-sama”
” Both of you are at the age where you are attending school at Laihiala Since we have the opportunity to study at the same school, why don't you visit me?”
”Right, he is hthood, 2nd year of primary school, you will have the chance to meet him soon”
”Alright, we have finished our food The cafeteria is too crowded, and it's not considerate to hog the table, let's go somewhere else What do you think?”
Stefania, who had a regrettable expression, patted Eru's head for so The four baffled children were left behind Batson wanted to clarify things, but Eru said that lunch break was over, and they should head for the classroom He forcefully left his seat and left Batson wasn't satisfied, but he still went towards the crafting faculty, while the trio hthood department with an aard atmosphere
There was nothing worthabout the afternoon’s freshmen welcome activities They were simply briefed on the schedule for the future, and the contents for lessons tomorrow After orientation, everyone was dismissed, and the students prepared to leave
”I don't know the details, but don't be depressed Class is starting to will be cancelled for today, take a break”
”What is it?”
”If you feel the need to share, I will listen”
”Eru, we have so we need tell you”
And so, the trio left campus and headed for Eru's place, to his rooic lessons, the tere familiar with it They sat on the table and bed as usual, but the difference was that they were quiet After a while, Chid began:
After being silent for so long, those words were too direct Eru blinked and asked:
”It's complicated actually not Our mother is not the noble's wife but a mistress”
”Father's wife well, is very jealous and conscious of others”
Even Eru wasn't sure how to react, so he simply nodded
”And, ere given a place to live, that's eexpenses are handled by father”
”Tiffa-nee is alright, but the probleer brother is very irritating”
The two of theh Their expressions twisted when they ine all of the things that happened between them
”Correct He is one year older than us, so he is in the second year of primary school”
Chid nodded firmly It's not a premonition; Chid knew that there would definitely be trouble The life at the main house flashed in his mind He had to bear with the oppression and the hardshi+ps back then, so he didn't spend too
”If they leave us alone, on't trouble them either But they like to mess with us and can't stand us”
”Since Tiffa-nee knows That guy will probably coht up in this too”
”I understand the gist of it So what's next?”
” What do you mean by next?”
”Oh, should be attack Hey!”
”What is with you all of a sudden? I a as an enemy”
”That's right I have no idea howmy friends so troubled Just call me whenever you need me, I will be there”
Chid and Ady nodded confidently, they were sht:
Eru thought about it fro thisschool days will be ined
After the tumultuous entrance ceremony, they started their school life the next day
There… There is such a course
There is a 'Silhouette Knight Design Basics' course!? But the ti to the Knighthood major for primary school You can infer frohts to build and hts It is catered for students in their 2nd year of middle school (around 13 years old), and this course had nothing to do with Eru as hthood
I must attend this course no matter what this class is in the way!
He overlooked the fired up, petite student hidden in the crowd
Generally speaking, huic is classified into ele to its power and ease of control
As ic, they are also known as 'comnised as real hthood majors strive to be at the interic is also dependent on the depth of one's hthood h experience that increasing thecohts requires a lot of effort inthan other courses is the unique feature of the Knighthood faculty
And so, the day to attend Fundaic class arrived
Eru's trio had already learnedApart from them, there were some who had learned the basics, too, so they would be in a different class fro The newbies were placed in the 'general class', while the experienced ones were placed in the 'advanced class' Advanced class eneral class is the experience Regardless, advanced class students were viewed as elites anyway
