Chapter 123
Special Chapter Commemorating Light Novel Volume 3 Release
The Knight Academy Students’ Adoration
“So that’s the Scion of Water from Izel Fort, huh? Who would think that we could meet him at this kind of place?”
The fourth-year student at the knight academy named Paul clenched his right hand in excitement. Despite having been chased by the Earth Dragon and nearly dying just literally a moment ago, he was full of energy.
There was no figure of monsters that could be seen in the Earth Labyrinth at this moment, perhaps due to the fact that all the monsters that were called by the Siren Dogs had been all wiped out.
The students of the knight academy who had returned to the surface easily–to the point that it was anticlimactic–were waiting back at the inn, while the supervising teacher went to report to various places.

“Did you see that sword technique? It was impressive, wasn’t it?”
Harris, who attended the same knight academy as Paul, mimicked Argo’s movements as if recollecting the recent battle.
“That’s not how you do it. It was more like this, don’t you think?”
Paul then imitated Argo’s form more properly than Harris. But since they were inside the inn, it was obvious that he did so without swinging a sword.

“The Flame Princess was there too, right?”
“You mean Amanda the Knight, right? It was my first time seeing her, but she was beautiful just like what the rumors said. It’s understandable why she’s called the reincarnation of the legendary Crimson Sword Princess.”
Harris sighed absentmindedly, and Paul nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, and it is said that the Crimson Sword Princess was what they used to call Knight Amanda’s grandmother. My grandmother seemed to have admired her so much that we even have a portrait of her at home.”
Paul’s grandmother had been a zealous devotee of the Crimson Sword Princess ever since the latter had come to her rescue when there was a man who had forcibly tried to ask her to dance with him at a ball.
Paul’s grandmother was not the only one.
The legend of the beautiful female knight, who threw away her status as a count’s daughter as well as a knight to elope with her lover that had a different social class, and disappeared from high society ever since then, was still being told to this day.
Moreover, the story of their love was made into a play, which continued to be a popular performance even until now, only increasing the number of the Crimson Sword Princess’ devotees, and there didn’t seem to be any decrease in their number…

“There should be a lot of other beautiful women in Izel Fort other than the Flame Princess, right? Must be nice.”
In response to Harris’ words, Leno shrugged his shoulders.
“There seem to be a lot of them there, but they’re all after His Highness Leonhart and the Scion of Water.”
Upon hearing this, both Paul and Harris nodded in agreement.

Leonhart, the crown prince’s younger brother as well as the hero who saved Elysia from the Monster King, along with his right-hand man, Argo Owen, were both most noblewomen’s targets of adoration.
Many women went through the troubles of going to Izel Fort in hopes that they’d be able to catch the eyes of the two men. –Although, most of them ended up leaving in tears, unable to endure life at Izel fort where they had to battle monsters from the adjacent Monster Forest day in and day out. However, these students were oblivious of this situation.
“…How amazing. I really admire them.”
“Do you think we could become that strong if we were to train really hard?”
“We can… right?”
“What’s with that doubtful tone?”
“No, I mean, we can, we can. Yes, yes.”
Harris patted Paul’s shoulder successively.
“But it was such an unusual party, don’t you think? Aside from the Scion of Water, the Flame Princess, and the priest, there were also a beastman, a woman, and even a small child for some reason.”
“That beastman seemed like she’s experienced in battles, so she’s probably an adventurer? A high-level adventurer who’s a leopard beastman… Aah, she might be a member of [The Dawn’s Seekers]? Maybe she was guarding that woman who seemed like a commoner. I mean, considering that the girl was wearing thick glasses, she might be a researcher, don’t you think? Maybe she came to investigate the strange occurrences that were happening in the Earth Labyrinth, I guess?”
Karin was certainly a researcher, but Leno–who was oblivious to the fact that Karin’s researches were limited to slimes–came to such a conclusion.
“That might be the case.”
Just as Paul and Harris agreed, Leno continued, “But…”

“But who is the girl wearing the white robe?”
“She used a magic that we’ve never seen before, didn’t she?”
The two nodded at Paul’s words.
“This is my first time, I mean, seeing a ‘Heal’ being done without even touching the person like that.”
Leno said, and Paul also agreed as he muttered, “Right, right.”
“Moreover, she used a protective magic that was different from what we usually use, right? Despite the fact that we usually can only cast it on ourselves, she could cast it on others. And like, It was so surprising to see the thing similar to a small shield spinning around.”
The magic that raised physical defense, known as Protect, was the first spell that the students at the knight academy had to learn. However, they had never known that it could be cast on others, nor had they seen the blue, small shield appearing before.
In the first place, not even their instructor, Dandelly was aware of such magic, so it might have been an unknown magic in general.
“In addition… she called Knight Argo as ‘Ar-niisama’, right?”
Harris and Paul were startled upon hearing Leno’s words.
“Does the Owen family have a daughter?”
“There is none as far as I can remember… The head of the Owen family, August-sama is famous for being devoted to his wife, so it’s unlikely that she’s an illegitimate child… Maybe she got adopted by the family due to her magical talents?”
“That makes sense. That child, not only could she use healing magic, she could also use offensive magic, right?.”
Paul spoke in excitement in response to Leno’s words.

“She used some magic we’ve never seen before, right?! Like one that managed to suppress the Earth Dragon’s movements. What was it called, something like ‘Spy Out On’?”
It was actually [Spider Web Coat: Set On]” but Paul couldn’t remember it clearly.
“It’s amazing that she could immobilize a monster like that. I wonder if that magic is something that’s developed at the Izel Fort?”
“That might be the case. Perhaps the sword techniques were developed by Leonhart, the hero. Meanwhile, the magic might have been developed by the Owen family.”
Paul’s eyes sparkled as he listened to the exchange between Leno and Harris.
“Then, does it mean that we could learn the most advanced battle techniques if we were to be assigned to the Izel fort?”
Paul was embarrassed from becoming frightened and running away after seeing the Earth Dragon’s figure.
Paul was the second son of a viscount, without any title to inherit. However, he had thought that he could become successful and lead a comfortable life since he was somewhat talented in swordsmanship, as well as being able to use the wind magic.
His social status might just be barely impressive, but with his abilities, he thought that he might just get scouted into the all-elite imperial chivalric order.
— That was the dream he had.
But having exposed such an unsightly side of himself, rather than feeling regretful, Paul was more ashamed of himself.
Still, Paul continued to look forward.
If it was his power that was lacking, wouldn’t it be fine as long as he could enter the chivalric order and then train himself there? That was how his line of thought went.
“I don’t know if it’s indeed the most advanced techniques, but I heard that the training there is awfully strict. And you’d certainly get stronger there, though.”
Paul nodded in contemplation at Leno’s words.
“You know, I have always been thinking of becoming a knight up until now just because there was no other option for me… But the Scion of Water and the Flame Princess were so cool, don’t you think? They were able to take down such a large Earth Dragon just like that…”
Paul stopped as he grasped both of his hands tightly.

“…I, to be honest, I thought that I was done for at that time. I wondered if I would have died at that place without ever becoming a knight. I was really regretful and wondered if I had trained more seriously, perhaps at that time, I could’ve fought a little better… That’s why, I can’t really put it into words, but I think that I want to become stronger and be able to become a knight that can save people as cool as they did.”
Paul continued, while Leno and Harris gave their profound agreement.
“That’s right. Since we are aiming to be knights anyway, we should aim to be first-class knights as well.”
Leno was the third son of a count family. To be frank, he thought that he was more excellent than his two older siblings, but it didn’t seem like he’d get the chance to be the heir to his family. On the other hand, it wasn’t like he could stay at home forever either. The only choices given to Leno was to either become a priest or a knight.
And so, he chose to be a knight.
The remaining one, Harris, was also the same. The three of them shared similar circumstances.
“Then, shall the three of us aspire to be assigned to the Izel Fort?”
Paul’s proposal made Leno think that it wasn’t a bad idea.
As for Harris, since his two friends said so… The three of them shook their hands and made a vow together.
The three of them didn’t know.
About the fact that Argo Owen and Amanda Rouge were no longer at the Izel Fort.
That the ones Yuuri called the ‘Traffic Light Trio’–Lansley Rainier and the others–would be the ones in charge of their training.
And that Paul would discover his talent in enchantment and that he would be used–no, that he would be taken as a pupil by Georg.
May glory be upon their future!
