80 80. The first group of the academy.txt (1/2)

Those who had been sifted through the Academy's selection exams had gathered in the Imperial City from all over the Empire.

So did Boniferts and Elhite.

Boniferts was born the second son of a farmer, and unlike other children of his generation, he was interested in learning.

He worked hard at his studies while apprenticing in a shop in a nearby town, and was nominated by the local deputy for his calculating skills and received a successful acceptance letter.

Elhite was born the youngest son of a small town craftsman, and when he was drafted into the army, he was found to have an aptitude for warfare and joined the Fourth Order of Fearglao.

He emerged among them, and at the recommendation of the Order's president, he took the test and passed it.

They had just been approached by Boniferts because of their apparent proximity in age, and they had just confided in each other's backgrounds and hit it off.

The twenty of them were waiting in front of the Imperial City for their time to come.

'Surprisingly, there are some of us from the commoners. I thought I was the only one.

Boniferts said, rolling his light blue eyes, and Elhite nodded widely.

''That's right. His Majesty the Emperor has an idea of taking up commoners as well. I heard that even Yagami Akira has a commoner's background. That's what the Patriarch said.''

”Oh, Lord Bartholomeus, God of Light and Manuel of Red Rain?

Boniferts immediately mentioned the names of the two of them.

The two of them were famous for being Yagami Teru from the commoners.

''It is reputed that you can fight the entire Imperial Knights by yourself, is it true?　Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you.

Boniferts says so.

He realized after he spoke that if he was a member of the Order, or might be offended, he might find it offensive.

But Elhite laughs and shakes his head.

''It's true, so there's no way to be angry. It is even rumored that Bartholomeus-sama is stronger than the entire strength of the imperial knights.

'Ugh, ...... I don't think that's going to happen for any amount of money.'

Boniferts frowned.

The Imperial Knights were an elite group that could not even join unless they were elite.

If we talk about the strength of all the Knights, it would be about 20,000 people, and the magic tools that are provided should be calculated.

Even if it was said that a single person could surpass them, it wasn't something that could be believed, though it wasn't very likely.

In fact, reactions like Boniferts' were not that unusual.

Few doubted that Bartolomeus was the strongest, but there was a difference of opinion as to how strong he was.
