Chapter 70 (2/2)
”Yeah, now listen up you lot, we're definitely polishi+ng up that skill!”
Fina called out to the overly enthusiastic tiger boys, but it wasn't as if she was only speaking to the tiger tribe Demi-humans faced discrimination in Courtois Their positions in the country eak, and once they graduated the academy, they would instantly be sent off to borderland or soer zone rife with skirmishes
Having caught sight of that, Fina had begunthe eyes of the country's upper brass who saw theradually advancing
Behind the needlessly talented Fina, Sophina looked on with a sigh She had been informed of and had helped with the plan, but she had so her competence for the country It was simply that no one could stop Fina as she burst forth towards her own desires
”Even after you graduate, I'll definitely never forget you (Even if you graduate, I'll never let any of et away, so you better prepare yourselves!!)”
The party ended, and the graduates prepared to leave the dorm The rooms they left behind would eventually be occupied by new students co in
To Rudel and co, they were now entering their final year From Rudel's point of view, it was a critical point that would deteroon or not, and to Izuht There were a nuhts Those who distinguished therades at the acaderades
To Izuraduated, her prospects would distance themselves all at once
Luecke and Eunius went into preparations to return home and succeed their houses As a foriance to the country, but the two of the vast expanses of land Once they graduated, they would have no freedom
But here, there was one who did earnestly worry for his future It was Aleist…
Normally, as the eldest son of a Count House, he was supposed to return ho his territory But at present, Aleist held a position called black knight, one overly difficult to do anything about
It wasn't that Aleist himself had a say in his life's course, yet those who did have a say had yet to decide on it either Unlike Rudel's case, the upstart Hardie House was unable to carelessly open its mouth
When he thought he was trying his best, he was still being washed away by the flowHe decided toEven if he consulted with his close friends, he couldn't find an answer While they orried about hi the fact he couldn't go against the country's orders
In the courtyard of the boys' dor training at such an early hour, the two of theing his sword
”So you don't knohat you're supposed to do?”
”Y-yeah… it doesn't look like I'll be able to decidewhat you… what Rudel would do”
While Aleist orried, it was quite a strange feeling to consult with Rudel, his goal that he wanted to surpass What's more, Rudel was a human unfit for such consultations
”Even if I were in your position, I'd aioon”
”No, I don't particularly want to beco!”
”I know I'm aware you don't have any intent to beco I found oon I'd follow my dreams”
Stopping his swinging and wiping his sweat, Rudel looked into the distance As if to tell himself, he muttered to the sky
”It's all I have It's … so I'll even risk my life on it”
Hearing that voice filled with resolve, Aleist no longer knehat he was supposed to say Aleist had been earnest fro close to madness in Rudel's seriousness
”I'ood advice But if I have to say so five people at once is a bit much”
Looking down once more, Rudel looked at Aleist with a troubled look on his face as he started swinging his sword again Aleist refuted Rudel's last words with a jump and a scream
”As I was saying! That's wrong, I tell you! The one I have a thing for isn't any one of those five!”
”… Aleist, so you plan to get more? Even the ever-kind Izumi was irritated at your actions A man's resourcefulness may be important, but why don't you learn to value those five a bit ht to say anything on the matter”
”No, you're completely relevant! And wait, from my point of view, you're my rival in love!”
”Y-you… you're after Izuivable! If you want to date her, then at the very least do so about your relationshi+p with the other five! Do anything to on feed of you!”
As Rudel suddenly emitted his wrath, before they had noticed it, the men in the yard had dispersed Aleist explained it was awith teary eyes But Rudel was cal had happened at all
”Uood at comedy?”
”You don't see ”
Rudel knew the one Aleist liked from the start They had spoken about it before, but Aleist was confused by Rudel's sudden outburst
”Whatever the case, if you want to envision your future, you better keep those five, no, six in your field of vision”
As Rudel corrected it to six, Aleist let out a sigh He likely meant Milla as the sixth one, but at present, the party's events had invited in her hatred Even when Aleist was the one pushed down… Aleist felt it was all quite a bit unreasonable
Once the new school term came alone, the item Rudel requested came in The armor he ordered from the eastern blacksmith was delivered With real combat in mind, it was an armor with barely any ornamentation
It was prepared in accordance to a fight with an undead dragon, but right now, Rudel was the white knight He likely wouldn't be taken out in an instant, but if you asked whether he could win or not, the ansas no
The gap in power between ht one before, he was treading into unknown territory He had researched through books, but if a single person would ever triuon, then it would be accurate to call them a true hero
The armor that used what relimmer
As he looked at the armor in his room at the dorm, the voices called out to him The voices of the boar and bird in his sword
'That's quite some armor you have there'
'Sure enough… but are you really challenging it alone?'
Rudel left a bit of silence before answering
”Yeah, I've lived for this moment”
Outside the room's door, Sakuya overheard Rudel's conversation with the two While she was only able to listen in silence, she felt so off in her left hand She looked at her left hand to find it was shaking
