Volume 7 Chapter 75: Is This Really A Knight Order?

Keith woke up and stretched his arms and legs into the air. These beds are so weird. Staring down, only one thought came to his mind: it was not the same. Specifically, the animals. Fira and Mir would always be there; not having them there didn't give the same feeling.

No warmth at all!

A deep sigh came out of his mouth. It was only a day too. The only thing that came to his mind was to train. That would clear his mind of everything. As he went out,

Huh? There are no maids. Keith realized he was the only one in the hallway. He had walked out into the garden; he started to work out. Tennol told me to work on my legs and core. That was to increase his foundation as a tank. As Keith continued to do situps and squats,

"Hah, why are you working out all the way here?" He turned to see a bunch of knights observing him. They had the Rustchil emblem on their right chest.

"I'm only here to get my blood flowing." Increasing his foundation and energizing his body. That was what he wanted to do. The knights nodded, "How about you come to the barracks? We heard that the students from the academy were geniuses."

"Eh?"

"We were told that you all get the best education. That also includes swordsmanship as well. We would like to learn from it."

"...Sure." Keith took a deep sigh as he followed the knights. When that happened, he didn't notice the knights' smirks. It took a few minutes before they arrived at the barracks. A bunch of knights were talking with one another.

Why is it like this? Keith was in disbelief at how they were acting. That was when someone said, "So this is the person that came with Krystal."

"...Yes." Keith continued to have a calm expression as he replied.

"My name is Dolus, the commander of the Rustchil Knights. I heard you'll show us the famed swordsmanship taught by the academy."

"Hmpf." The knights snickered from behind as they stared at him.

"Sure, I can show you the academy's swordsmanship. After all, it's famous." Keith grinned.

Dolus's expression remained calm as he called one knight, "Go forward."

"Yes!" Someone came out from the group. He raised his sword and dashed at Keith with his sword in hand, prepared to take him out. However,

"Aren't you supposed to greet one another before we fight?" Keith had the sword right at the man's neck. As the man charged at him, there were so many openings that he almost didn't know which one to choose!

"…" Those knights were left there speechless.

"…Leland, you go up there now!" Dolus turned to another knight. But this one had an even larger body than the others. He walked up to Keith.

"Regards." Unlike the others, this one had bowed his head and prepared for a standard duel.

"Regards." Keith nodded. Like that, the two of them fought. As he did, Keith was calm as he fought with this guy. This guy isn't like the others. Unlike the others, this guy was actually sharp. His movements didn't waste any strength.

Keith continued to guard against the attacks. Opening! As Leland brought his sword in the air, Keith made his opening!

"You lose."

"You did well. I just did better." There was nothing about it. Keith was just a notch higher than him.

"…I see." The knight didn't say anything else as he got up. However, that made Dolus even more furious.

"How could you lose like this! You're supposed to be the vice commander!"

"…" Leland didn't say anything as he looked away.

"Shouldn't you put where your mouth is?"

"Hah?"

"You've been barking orders, but you haven't come up to face me." That guy only called the knights out to fight. He sat on the side and watched him defeat them.

"Do you think you can-" "Beat you? I can do it." If he continued to talk like that. Then why couldn't he beat him?

"…" Dolus raised his sword, prepared to attack. However,

"What is everyone doing?" Keith turned around to see Krystal with a frown.

"Princess." Leland and some of the knights bowed their heads. But Dolus continued to have a calm expression.

"Your guest wanted to fight with the knights."

"Yeah, and you guys were pretty trash." Keith scoffed, "Except for Sir Leland, the others weren't that talented."

“…” The knights wanted to say something but couldn't since the boy had beaten those guys up. Krystal frowned, "Dolus, why are you the commander of the knights?"

"…" Figures.

"Sterling decided to retire early on. I'm the one who became the commander of the knights."

His words only caused Leland to frown.

"Young Lady, please come here," Winston called out to them. It was time for them to have breakfast.

"…Understood." Krystal glanced at Dolus before walking back. But she turned to Winston, "We'll be having breakfast in my mother's room."

"Understood."
