Volume 5 Chapter 11: Knight

"Mmm." Krystal nodded as she brought her horse to the starting line. The horse galloped forward at breakneck speed. Krystal expertly swung her sword, striking down the targets.

She was graceful as she took the targets down. The students were in awe of her brilliance. Keith nodded. It was not a surprise for her to do this well.

"Tch!" Thinking that, Krystal did knock into a wall. It was only for a second as she finished the trial.

"Good job, Krystal." Tennol nodded. He turned to Keith, "Keith, you're up next."

"Understood." Keith grabbed the reins of the horse,

"We got this." "Ngeh!" The horse snorted like that was to be expected. Keith got on top of the horse and took a deep breath. This would be the first time riding him seriously.

"Begin!"

The horse didn't even hesitate as it dashed. It was in high gear from the start! And Keith was the same. He drew his arrow and fired! There was no hesitation as he continued to fire!

Each arrow was shot dead on the target! As Keith continued to fire,

"Damn! How is he able to move like that?!"

"How is he this good?"

"Isn't this the first time?!"

The students' expressions were confused. Didn't Keith sit out all this time?! How was he able to control that horse? It was not normal.

Now, that is talent. Tennol chuckled. That guy was way too good.

Hmm? There's a lot. As Keith fired, he was looking at the following targets behind. He knew he would need to hit them once he turned the next corner.

Keith didn't hesitate as he leaned himself off to the side!

"What the?!" The student's eyes widened. Has he gone insane? He was going to fall off if he did! But he never did.

"How is he doing that?!" Keith's body was way off the horse! He was balancing on the horse with one leg! Krystal frowned when she saw that, while Jack was in disbelief.

Without a second later, Keith shot the five targets. As that happened, the horse quickly made a sharp turn, making Keith get on easier.

"Woohoo!" Keith cheered as he patted the horse's head. He did not think he could pull that off.

"Good job, Keith."

"Good boy." Keith got off the horse and patted the horse's head.

"Ngeh!" The horse was smug, proud of what it did. Tennol smiled,

"Everyone, we're going to do more tests."

...

"This is great!" Keith raised his hands as he was pleased about what happened. He patted the horse again, "I'll give you a treat when we return home."

"Ngeh!" The horse raised its head. It was eager. All the treats Keith gave were delicious.

"Now that I think about it, since you're going to live with us, you should have a name." That was something he needed to figure out. He couldn't keep calling it him, you, and it.

Keith stared at the horse and thought, "How about I call you Knight?"

"Ngeh!" The horse grunted, liking the name.

"That's great." Keith laughed as he brought him back to the island. When he returned to the island, he saw Nephele sweeping the front.

"Hi, Nephele." "Welcome home, Keith."

"....Yeah." Keith smiled, "Did you mess up again?"

"Sniff!" Nephele started to sniffle! That was a yes!

"Big sister Diana is so mean!" Nephele couldn't take it as she hugged Keith!

"What did you break this time?" Keith tilted his head as he patted hers. He could feel the bumps on her head.

"...A tree."

"A tree?" How did you break a tree?!

"It was only a small piece! I didn't mean to mess up!" Nephele looked up at Keith with teary eyes. Keith shook his head,

"As long as you learn from your mistake, you don't have to worry about it."

"A saint!" Nephele couldn't help but be happy. This person was so kind. However,

"It doesn't count as a learning experience when she does the same thing again." Nephele looked over to see Diana glaring at her!

"EEP!" Nephele didn't hesitate as she quickly hid behind Keith, using him as a shield. This was something that happened many times.

"Diana, were you the one who asked Knight to go to the stables?"

"Of course. That horse had been staying here for so long. He should at least do something." Diana glanced at the horse, where he looked away from the spirit.

"Diana is so scary!" Nephele shivered at the sight of this.

"I will show you how scary I am!" Diana was ready to hurt the child for saying something like that. She walked up and grabbed her by the head as she was prepared to drag her away.

"Save me!" However, Nephele held onto Keith's hand, trying to avoid leaving his side.

"Sorry, Nephele. I don't think I can help you with this." There was no way he was going to jump into this.

"..." The look on Nephele's face was something as she screamed,

"Traitor!"

"How am I a traitor?" Keith laughed.

It's good that she's acting like this. Even though she was a little mischievous, it showed she had opened up to everyone.

Surprisingly, she was really cooperative. Keith didn't need to worry about her at all.

Now, there was one person left.
