1587 War and Peace, Part 125 - Unified Martial Arts Games II, Between Matches ① ~

"Honestly, I was thinking the same thing"

"Oh, you too?

"No, you're better off not thinking about it. That's the same for Dute Hilde and Lotte. It's more crazy not to look at such a rapidly growing friend and wonder what I am. A guy with such a lukewarm idea can't live in Gloria. Don't you?"

"I think so."

Gloria is often made to study abroad for nobility and royalty to foil, but when she sees the upliftment of the students in it, many are equally incisive. Some of them do not, but such only quietly leave Gloria.

If it is also the origin of the civilian population, as Rascal did, the incentive system received by Gloria's internal performance will change. That's why Rascal doesn't show up on his face, but he's always desperate to get some good grades.

The Bruns are a little different from Rascal again, but you can't denigrate the family name. He has worked desperately on it.

"But Jake is as if he wasn't. How can there be so much difference? At first, he was as skilled with swords as I am. No, I'm supposed to be better at my arm's length, but I'm out of track. I know he's got his eyes on the upper levels of the Temple Knights. But I'm not convinced."

"Well, different experience in action, I'd say, but most of all, you'd be aware of what you wave a sword for."

"For what,. I'm trying to be strong, too, right?

The Bruns looked unconvinced, but Rascal denied it altogether.

"Instead of being vaguely strong, Jake has the specific goal of becoming the best knight on the continent. Perhaps there is also a specific goal beside it: to defeat Alberto, head of the Temple Knights. That's the difference between us."

"So what are we supposed to do?

"- I'm going to apply to join the Knights Temple at the end of this martial arts tournament."

Bruns was surprised by Rascal's words. It is possible for anyone to apply for enlistment to the Knights Temple, but scrutiny is rigorous. The same goes for merit and pedagogy, but people's expectations, origins, personalities, etc. are also scrutinized.

The top few of the school year are voiced by the Knights of the Temple, but less than 10 are otherwise allowed to join the Knights of the Temple from Gloria each year. Many are nominated by the Knights of the Perimeter, the Knights of each region, and are selected further from among them.

If you fail to enlist directly from Gloria, then you will belong to the Peripheral Knights, and there is no other way to build merit in the tunnel. In this sense, enlistment from Gloria is a narrow gate, as well as the greatest opportunity. Anyway, Gloria has about 300 for the first school year at most, because the total number of nearby knights rises to 10,000. It is not easy to win an election out of it.

Rascal and Bruns also have the backhand of becoming Jake's obedient knights and then being recommended to the Temple Knights. But neither Rascal nor Bruns did. And for the first time, Rascal spoke strongly of his will.

"I want to be on par with Jake. To do that, don't just get a recommendation from Jake. I'll win my own path to the Temple Knights and stand next to Jake. That's my goal now."

"What, aren't we going to beat Jake?

"I intend to keep my share. I can't beat Jake or you with a sword. So I'm going to be taking military, pharmacology and geography classes from the new school year. It may not be necessary for knights, but it's usually just classes to become knights, so it's not going to be enough."

"Mm..."

Bruns roared. Because the Bruns still did not have any specific ideas and directions. And talk to Rascal so he can tumble.

"Gas, are you there?

"Oh, Jake's aide from that tarram"

"He's a mess. It's amazing. You know what?

"No? I know he's kind of a scurvy, disgusting guy."

Bruns' words are certainly a side of Gass, but Rascal shook his neck sideways.
