101 Illusion World (1/2)
Alicia did not have to wait long before a knight in light leather armor with metal plating came to stand in front of everyone. They had a small stage for this knight in light armor to stand on built so that he could be seen by everyone present. Alicia was in a very good mood since she was getting to see all these different types of knights up close. With eyes shining she looked up on stage at waiting in anticipation.
Clearing his throat the knight in light leather armor looked over everyone and began speaking. ”Ahem… Today a lot of you have come to try your luck to make it into the top one hundred to become a squire. I wish we could allow all of you to join but if you do not pass you can always try your luck again next year. Our tests are not like normal testing. We do not test the same way the Adventurer's Guild does. Knights differ from Adventurers! Although as squires you will still work out of the Adventurer's Guild to gain experience, make some extra Cors, and some merits at the same time. But the main thing you want to gain is merits! Some of you might have already gained a few merits before you even registered today. Those merits are also counted towards the sum that is needed to be promoted to a Knight and assigned to an order.
” Knights live by a code of honor! We have seven virtues that we live by! These virtues decide our decision making while out in the field! By following these virtues we have a better understanding of what our comrades are thinking! These virtues are Courage! Strength! No Mercy! Generosity! Justice! Nobility and lastly Hope! Can anyone here tell me what each of these seven virtues mean?” The knight in leather armor asked.
”Me!” A small angelic voice rang out from within the crowd. Alicia had her hand raised and was jumping up and down. Just this sight of this made the knight in light leather armor chuckle.
”Alright, then Little Lady come on up and tell us what they mean.” Pausing for a second a light flashed in his eyes as he continued: ”For each one, you get wrong you will need to do one hundred pushups!”
Alicia paid no mind to what the knight said as she pushed her way through the crowd and made her way to the stage. ”Excuse! Let me through please!”
Alicia jumped up on stage and stood in front of everyone, her golden blonde hair swayed in the wind while her bright blue eyes gazed out over everyone present. She took a deep breath and began speaking. ”Courage is to have the courage to charge into any dangerous situation! Even at the cost of your own life!
”Strength to over power your foes and stand on top of those who try to do harm to your king, its land, and its people!
”No mercy to any of those who dare try to harm your king, its land, and its people!
”Generosity to help the people of your land and assist if there is ever a need.
”Justice to uphold the law of the land that is handed down by your king! To bring those to justice for committing crimes against your king, its land, and its people!
