Chapter 21: Her Name is Hyneth

“It still feels pretty meh…”

After Hyneth left, the azes, I poured an adequate aed a feord strikes with one of Marquis Astain's Ihts, and just like that, I passed

The Skyknight Selection Exam was so much easier than I had expected You had to be a 4th Circle ht requireht who lived and breathed the sword in order to beco the countlessmy travels, there were quite a few Aura Blade Users, but only one that had reached Knight level

'There's soht selection' I couldn't help but think that this wasn't the end There was definitely a secret that I didn't know yet

'Can I also be called a Skyknight Academy student now?'

In raved on both sides was the number 117 and , I had received this token I still couldn't believe I had passed just like that

'Uhahahaha! Yes, I enius of uncommon proportions~!'

In the end, that was the conclusion I reached What more was there to think? Even people far inferior to me had passed, so there was no way I could fail

'2 years is too long I have to get myself a wyvern faster than that!'

The proble 2 years But it was also true that there were always exceptional beings in the world I wanted to live as one of them

'I have to go to the dorht?' The dorht students, as well as students froe, and Sue life I heard about'

Though I didn't yet know the exact na, there were many structures in this expansive area I was sure that all of them had been developed to nurture the Bajran Empire's talented youths

“Lalala~”

This was a cohts and soldiers alike guarded the prein a new chapter of my life

“This is the place you will reside in, Knight Kyre”

'Yesss This is how it should be!'

Soht” for the first time in my life When I showed my cadet identity token in front of the doruided me to my room

“This dormitory is for male students and houses two people in each room; it is called the Roperoni Dormitory Datian Dormitory next door is where the fe, afternoon, and evening and can be accessed at any ti other than the provided cadet unifors you will need for daily life are provided for you in your room”

'As expected of an empire'

I hadn't yet had the chance to see the inside of a noble's house, but the sight in front of me seemed about that level Plastered on the walls between the roos related to the Gods, wars, and history A subtlethe hallway Fro the dormitory's floors, you could tell how much the empire valued the cultivation of their new talents

“Please grasp the handle with the entirety of your palm”

Within this luxurious dorned the nu for me

'A ic lock?'

“Mana is distributed froic circle that handles all of the empire dormitories' facilities From protection formulas to hot and cold water, as well as spells like this lock, the ic circle fully provides for all such conveniences,” explained the attendant with pride

“For it to do so ic crystal”

“That is correct A Grade 3 ic crystal is in use”

Thea ic crystal was absolutely necessary in the ic crystals were also used in mana staves

'If you can get this ic, you wouldn't be jealous of the 21st century'

The probleular coic crystals weren't just stones you could find on the street, and turning ic items was no walk in the park, either

'Uhu! This is nice!'

I entered the room as I chatted with the attendant, and I ie rooed in on the way here Located on the 5th floor, warht shone in from theand illue white beds There were even furnishi+ngs like tea tables It was better than the room I had lived in back on Earth

“The cafeteria is in front of the dor called Halphones If there is anything you require, simply call the attendants in the first floor hall,” continued the attendant, not neglecting his polite guidance

“May I ask your name?” I asked He was an attendant, but because he was older than me, I couldn't talk disrespectfully

“I am called Aki Please feel free to speak casually It is written in eht treatment”

“Th–thank you Aki,” I said aardly, thanking Aki for his polite treatid rules of this hierarchical society

“Then, please rest in coin in about fifteen days” With a crisp bow, Aki left

“Haaa, so nice~!”

The room was clean, so I knew my roommate hadn't been determined yet After Aki left, I threw my body onto one of the beds fitted hite sheets

'Should I do so in the capital for half a month?'

Laying down usingby outside theThis was my first real taste of peace in a while My body sank into the plushy bed

And then, I fell into a happy sleep It was a comfortable rest where I felt a sense of security for the first ti to the Kallian Continent

Clang clang clang!

“Hup!”

'How long did I sleep?' I woke up to the sounds of brisk shouts and clashi+ng swords 'Ah! W–what's going on?'

The rays of sunlight I reuid war into

'Did I sleep for at least half a day?'

Isleep in the dorhts and soldiers

“Unghhh!”

I stretchedaches Even a 5th Circle , but y

“Hiyup!” Schwing! Schwing!

'Is that ?'

The dorht cadets, but also students in the regular Knight Class, the Mage Class, and the Su fro in the drill hall outside

As I watched, roith a complaint

“Ahh! I missed dinner!”

My grandpa in the countryside had taughta meal— it meant that you et back in your life Since I hadn't eaten dinner last night,me to a state of complete wakefulness

“The cafeteria is in the building in front, right?”

I entered the bathroom connected to the room and quickly washed my face Then I tidied my hair neatly and used the spell Clear

Countless particles ofwashed over th was also deterle cast to wash away the sweat on my body

“I should put on the cadet uniforht?” I opened the closet inside the room “Is it my size?”

Between the two closets, only one of them had a unifor style, a top that looked like a hooded tee (called a “supertunic” here), a black cloak, and a silver belt emblazoned with a wyvern depiction

“It's pretty warm, huh?”

I didn't knohat materials were used, but with these clothes, you could resist the cold without having to wear underclothes I put on the clothes, admired the Black Wyvern embroidered on the chest, and moved towards the door

“They probably have a library, right?”

Mages were being trained here, so there would definitely be a library here For acquiring knowledge related to the continent, there was no better place to start

The door opened with a creak as I left the rooh the quiet hallway towards the cafeteria This was a place where I didn't have a single friend I wanted to make at least one friend like the one I had left on Earth, the kind Joong-hyun

'Buffet!'

In front of the dorle floor cafeteria, called Halphones Surprisingly enough, the food that was laid out in a space bigger than a school cafeteria where hundreds could eat si withfruits It wasn't that much variety, but this kind of spread was difficult to find on the Kallian Continent

'This thick meat!'

It wasn't a nobleman's meal where you aited on by attendants, but steaks, fried chicken, and fish dishes were steaic circles As I loaded up my flower-patterned plate with food, sounds of joy came from my mouth

'It would be perfect if I just had kimchi! What a shame'

I was able to confiretable sis like hot pepper and garlic However, I didn't have any time to leisurely make some kimchi If I had my own territory one day, I would definitely make a kimchi jar, cure some kimchi in it, and enjoy

'But what's with their gazes?' Though the sun was already high in the sky and it was late ettingmy head, I was met with dozens of pairs of eyes 'Is it their first ti a person?'

Their surreptitious gazes were as if I was some kind of monkey at a zoo

'Huh? We all have different cloak colors?'

There was only one other person with the sa blue or white cloaks

'Uwah!'

The one black cloak I saw a it was Hyneth, the shoujo onist from outer space Her porcelain lips moved as she ate an apple with her fork

And then, our eyes met

The graceful lady, Hyneth, bowed her head right away in greeting, as if worried she would be seen as anything but a gentle character

'It's really strange To me, she looks completely fine—no, she's a picture of modesty and kindness”

I really couldn't figure out why nobles ere even er signals from her

'Well, she's still a lady…'

I decided to approach Hyneth, whose huge eyes looked to take up almost half of her face

“Haha, lovely , isn't it?”

She may be the only heir of a count, but ere now students of the sa common in Korea and approached her without reserve

“Y–yes It is indeed,” said Hyneth with a light blush as she bowed her head slightly

'Oh man, she's cute'

I wasn't even a forty-year old pervert, but a single wolfish thought floated to my mind as I sat down next to her
