Chapter 91 (1/2)
Araduation, there were many of them who had decided their future courses
For this was an acadedoht brigade they wanted to enter, and if they didn't get in, they would be sent around to wherever was thought to be lacking in personnel
Those with top academics were chosen out every year and instated to the posts they desired To the others, they would receive notices that they were accepted to their second or third choices
The final extended break was the final chance for these students to spread out their wings At the sa that period and had their tentative offers revoked
Around this season, the bureaus that dom's human resources prayed that the students didn't cause any problems as they decided their stations
The positions for those with top grades were usually decided before the break But this year, there was a bit of a problem
… It was Rudel
While he had obtained a dragon, he held a vital fixed position in Courtois called white knight You could say it was only natural there were arguher-ups could have decided, but the problem was Aileen The early plan they set up was for hiuard
But now, Fritz had been selected as captain Alongside his graduation in two years' time, he was to take his captain seat
Aileen, who saw Rudel as her h the uard But there was an even bigger problem… it was Fina
Because Fina wanted to make hiht out the king and queen's nanatures from a number of e
But the biggest problem of all was Rudel The ades, and selected dragoon
Human resources was in tears
In a conference rooades had gathered to discuss the placeed with HR distributed the docu They didn't have the time to spend on Rudel alone, and there were still students whose placements had yet to be decided
”Well then, I'd like to start the conference As you can see froher-ups are divided, so this tiade…”
As the HR representative tried to continue on, the vice-captain of the royal guard raised his voice His voice wasn't that inti
”The asse hiuard Is there really any problehts will be troubled to deal with him”
There, this time, the rep of the defenders stuck in his mouth
”Making a captain of the white knight is one thing, but you'll register hi the crown be against it There wereviews at the assembly Well, I personally want hion The defenders don't have the necessary facilities to on”
While it seemed Fina was fixated on Rudel, Aleist's instatement to the defenders was practically set in stone It was plainly visible that those around would be opposed if they moved to obtain Rudel as well
Like Fina had tried to collect a white and black cat, Aileen was trying to get the white and black knights under Fritz The sisters ly si the queen on her side, Fina only had to whisper, 'A coet the two syreatly opposed
While they felt sorry for Fina, the defenders had given up on acquiring Rudel If the man applied, they would have accepted hioons, and there was no changing that
Once the topic of dragons caoon captain offered his opinion This year, the dragoon captain and vice-captain were retiring, and for a while, the unit would be dedicated to raising its new members
”It was a gaia subspecies, was it? Sure enough, I can't think any of the others will be able to look after it When it coons, it will be too ade to handle We'd quite appreciate if the royal guard returned the personnel they borrowed soon”
Fritz' dragon was beingafter it had been borrowed frooons
”Huard is the shi+eld of the crown Unlike you lot, it won't have to fight As long as the dragon appears at ceremonies, it won't be a problem”
”Though it's a dragon far more splendid than your own captain's”
The high knight captain spat souard's vice-captain The two of thes of former subordinate and superior, and the man had much to say of his forhts
The charge of HR endured the urge to let out a sigh, putting together the opinions of each brigade The dissatisfaction towards the royal guard, and the defenders' situations caused Rudel's wishes to be granted
”Then by oons We express our deepest gratitude for all of you taking time out of your busy days to…”
Once he finished talking, the HR charge hurriedly collected up the docu that, there weren't any knights who thought it disrespectful They all knew that right around now, the HR depart placements under their demands
While each knight brigade sought out proficient personnel, the students were fully enjoying their final vacation
Spending her break at the acadehtly sad look on her face It ritten that Izuht were accepted, and her enlistment had been decided
After graduation, while she wouldn't hold a territory, she would be given the noble rank of a Baron in Courtois Even if she was to be called a Baron, she had no land to look after, and she wasthe country's pledge of nobility, she gained a large nuations
Izuotten what she wanted in her hands, but when it carew sad It hat she wanted But accepting itwith Rudel feel all too real
She had been able to investigate it to an extent while she was at the acade would be close to throwing away all the status she went to such lengths to obtain With the arses House that looked down on dei House had no future
”I should just throay my house, is what I should have said But I think that's impossible for me”
The head of the shi+rasagi House would be the high knight Izumi In order to pass down her baron status, she would have to prove a certain level of loyalty to the country Either soh knights… she couldn't pass it on immediately
In her room at the dorm, Izumi muttered to herself To her house, she wrote a businesslike letter saying her instalht had been decided, and another one about her feelings She wrote one of each
Recalling her faht take Izunized as a noble Her fahts to inherit it If they were standard nobles, it wouldn't be a problee problems when it came to houses that were only just set up
In order to obtain connections between Houses, Izumi would have to marry into a noble house with a history in Courtois Her other siblings couldn't do it Izus would succeed her Baron name
Izumi recalled the faces of her little brothers Perhaps her relatives would have so her letter, she opened theto air out her room
As the cold air surrounded her, she felt her train of thought clearing up But even in her cleared head, Izumi couldn't find an answer
”Hah, I want to see…”
It was the moment she was about to mutter Rudel's na wind caused Izumi to lean out theto see what had happened
A little distance from her , a smoke cloud had risen Once the fuon… Rudel on Sakuya's back approached the girls' dorm
As Sakuya waved her large hand, approaching on two legs, Izues of her past self But without any on… the collateral da to scoff at
Leaping out of thein her loungewear, Izumi made for Rudel and Sakuya
”What are you doing, Rudel!?”
To make sure Sakuya didn't step on Izumi, who had come to her feet, Rudel issued an order for Sakuya to stop He spread out the papers he held so carefully in his hands, turning to Izu out
”Izuoon!! The notice caht, but I couldn't wait until the end of the break I called Sakuya over, and had her come all the way to the academy!”
'God, hearnonstop since yesterday! I'm tired!!'
”Good work, Sakuya As expected of on! I love you”
'Oh, that's all you ever say'
Before Izu as he leapt fro the situation, Izumi sent the dismounted Rudel a warm smile
”Good for you, Rudel So now you're the dragoon you alanted to be”
Rudel had grown to be more of an adult than when they had first ht, and no youth remained in his features But his eyes alone were the same as ever
The eyes and sed one bit
”Yeah, finally… that aside, what about you, Izumi?”
”Me? Ah, I got an offer frohts I took the interview and exaht I'd actually pass…”
As Izurabbed her shoulders As she opened her eyes wide, Rudel directed her a smile
”So your dreams came true too, Izumi! With this, we’ve both accoo!”
”W-where?”
”We'll ride Sakuya there Your house is fine too I'll take you wherever you want! Ah! But if possible, make due with someplace inside Courtois…”
Around the end, Rudel's words greeak, and Izue problen land
