Chapter 39 - Our Role (2/2)
”Anyway, you guys just stay here, a squire master should come down in a bit.” The red knight then continued to walk out of the mansion. As soon as the red sash left, Gary turned towards us and started to complain.
”Do you believe what he said, how could a knight do such things?”
Gary was clearly troubled by what he heard. While monk and kyle kind of looked excited, they were happy that they just didn't get chosen as red shashes and would be able to help the kingdom.
”Humans have always been like this, it's nothing new,” I said.
Just then a knight came through one of the doors. He had short blonde hair and a beard. he looked to be a few years older than us. he also wore a blue sash but he had a single golden ribbon on it. The blue knight walked towards us.
”Hi there, I'm the black Squier master Joesph, you can just call me Joe. I will be taking you to your tempory rooms for the night here. Tomorrow we will start training bright and early. Usually, you will stay in your normal accommodation but for today you'll spend the night here.
Joe took us to the upper floors of the mansion. While we walking Gary couldn't help but ask Joe about the black sashes.
”Is it true, that the black sashes are assasins?”
”All though it might not be a job to be proud of, it is true. usually, we only get around one new recruit a year. It's amazing that we managed to get four this year. Sir K will explain more details to you when the time is right.”
Gary didn't say much either, as he was deep in thought.
We finally reached a door that had a sign saying, blue squire knights. When we entered the room it was even more empty than the last. There were 8 single beds but nothing else. No desk, no chairs just beds with their blankets.
”I know it's a bit empty, but it's only for one night.”
Joe closed the door behind him and left us. Suddenly though Sir K had appeared in the room. Kyle fell out of his bed as he was just tucking in for the night, while monk had his blanket covered over his face.
”Sorry for the scare, I had something I needed to deal with urgently.”
As soon as Gary had seen sir K he walked up to him to ask the same question as if he couldn't believe anyone else's words.
”Is it true, that the black sashes are assassins.”
”You don't seem to be too thrilled by the decision. It is true, you were each picked because of the master knights so something special in you that would make you a great assassin. Currently, Avrion academy is in the need for them more than ever.
”But I did the best, I should have become a white sash,” Gary complained.
”Although you certainly did impress all of us and easily could have become a white sash night, we thought you're skills more suited a black sash.”
Gary went over to his bed defeated.
”You guy's should get some rest, tomorrow everyone in the academy will receive the appropriate training for their colour rank. after we will do group basic training with all the students.”
Sir k then turned towards me.
”Ray, you will need to stay behind for additional training after the colour training.”
After saying those words Sir K quickly vanished into thin air again, not giving me any time to ask what exactly I needed to do.
