CH 8· Half A Year Later

“………You have gotten stronger Light” (Deputy Head Knight)

“Thank you ……” (Light)

My sword was pointed at the neck of the Deputy Head Knight, who is now kneeling before me.

Due to this being a mock battle, he does not use his gift.

I withdrew my sword from the neck of the Deputy Head.

My sword skills are top-notch amongst the Knights Order, even the Deputy Head isn't an exception to it.

The deputy head stood up and smiled gently towards me.

“That’s why I am sorry, that your gift still has not awakened, no matter what gift you receive, you will definitely become stronger if you combine it with your sword skill. If it's only about etiquette and sword skill, you are the best amongst the Knight Candidates." (Deputy Head)

The Deputy Head is the type of person that genuinely appreciates talent. That is why he finds it pitiable, that I, as one of the most talented people who could learn sword skills to this extent in their whole life. Meanwhile it only took me half a year since I started to learn sword skills to reach the master level.

Indeed, it's such a pity….

My gift is unidentifiable. The great priest said that there was no record of such a thing happening in the past.

“It seems that you have a sleeping gift … ….” (Great Priest)

“If so, then someday it will awaken from its slumber!” (Deputy Head)

“Yes……” (Light)

The deputy head knight comforted me.

But…..I…

How strong is Lyrica and Sere? Just thinking about it, nothing but anxiety about whether I can be a knight with just my sword skills fill my mind.

“Well, I have to train again, because I cannot say that I lost because my sword skill was lower than a knight candidate as a deputy head knight” (Deputy Head)

“Well, that is true.” (Light)

“Hahaha, it's a joke.” (Deputy Head)

“Ha, yes!!” (Light)

Knight’s selection test is just by the corner. I need to get stronger.

I will fulfil my promise…

“Did ya know? Light won against the Deputy Head in a mock battle!" (Winnie)

“Are you serious!? Without gifts, how is it possible to defeat the Deputy Head?" (Regulus)

“Wait, how did you know about this?" (Light)

It is midnight right now.

I'm staying at the dorm with Regulus. My roommate before was obviously not Regulus, but I exchanged with my previous roommate with the brutal persuasion from Regulus. I was glad that I exchanged at first, but I have not forgotten that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d calls Winnie late at night to his bed, thinking that I'm asleep.

One time, I walked in on them while they were "wrestling" beneath the covers, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d bribed me and made me get out.

Tomorrow is a holiday after a long time, so we talk until it's midnight.

They are seem to be planning about going on a date tomorrow.

They still didn't answer my question about how Winnie knew about my fight with the deputy head.

“It’s very easy … ….” (Winnie)

“Liquefy" (Winnie)

When Winnie waves one of her finger, her finger slowly turns into a cloudy liquid.

Apparently, she used this gift of hers to spy on the fight between me and the Deputy Head.

“It’s not that convenient, the body part that I use my gift on will be stiff for quite a while" (Winnie)

"You can't move the swords agilely due to the stiff joints?” (Light)

“Yes, because the joints are too stiff to move, I can't make flexible movements … ….” (Winnie)

"Ah, s.h.i.+t we're sorry Light" (Regulus)

“Sorry, sorry, light …” (Winnie)

“No, I don't mind.” (Light)

These two people are very kind.

I can understand that they care about me. Besides, they protected me from the Knight Candidates that mocked me due to me not being able to awaken my gift.

I was more than happy to be able to make friends in this lonely place.

“You guys, what will you do tomorrow? Shall I leave the room?” (Light)

“Oh, oh my.” (Winnie)

“Well, it’s been a long time …” (Regulus)

“Oh, you have two brides, didn't you sleep with them many times till your back broke?” (Regulus)

“What are you saying!!” (Light)

{ED - he should have at least done it once with them before they left, it's unfortunate that they're gonna lose their virginity to that s.h.i.+Tf.u.c.kER}

“Oh well, what will Light do tomorrow?” (Winnie)

“It'll be the same as yesterday, I will self-train.” (Light)

“You should be mindful about your body's health; you’ll destroy yourself if you train too much." (Winnie)

“It’s okay, there's still time until the selection test, and I don't know when Lyrica and Sere will come back.” (Light)

“I heard a rumour, that the heroes party and defeated all of the Demon Generals!" (Regulus)

“I also heard it; that the Brave is also in it” (Winnie)

"I want to be like him.." (Regulus)

{ED - why would you want to be like that s.h.i.+Tf.u.c.kER?}

“Oh … ….” (Light)

Lyrica and Sere … … how strong are they now?

Clearly, I guess there is no doubt that they are stronger than I am.

“Lyrica … Sere … ….” (Light)

I want to see you guys…

For you two… I don't care if people think of me as some demon….

(TL - Blehh)

After that, I constantly in trained until the selection test.

My muscles became dangerously stiff and the abdominal muscles are broken due to rigorous training.

If it's about sword skill, I am told that it is stronger than the deputy head.

My gift is still unknown, but I trained regardless of that and grew to the extent that I could defeat some gift using knight candidates.

Then, the day of the selection exams came, 300 knight candidates partic.i.p.ated in it.

The selection test is a tournament, and 10 matches are performed with 30 people per match. Of course, you can't become a knight just by defeating the people there. There are also written exams and exams of etiquette; knights are also judged for their skill in comprehensive judgment.

But strength is the most important. Every single sword skill is learned by everyone, there are no handicaps, so looking at the results of every year, ten people who won in the matches have been chosen as knights.

(TL - My brain broke while I TLed this)

After today's training was over, all 300 knight candidates gathered together .

On this day, which people will enter which group will be decided and the tournament will be held two days later.

“Come, come on … fuu, Hey light, don't stress your body too much.” (Regulus)

” … ….” (Light)

Regulus tried to calm me down; the board of the tournament table was carried towards us.

I told Regulus that I was feeling fine, but my tension was also rising inside me, then, the cloth hung on the board was removed and the groupings were announced.

Regulus and Winnie are in another group… and I … … you’re lying right?

“… …. oya Light” (Winnie)

“Oh, ah … hahaha …” (Light)

I was surprised to see the place of my name.

I'm…. placed in a seeded group.

In other words, if I win once, I'll pa.s.s…

{ED - I didn't understand this part}

Besides pleasure, the embarra.s.sment was strong.

Some of the knight candidates are talking and pointing at me. Some also showed malice in their eyes.

I inadvertently glanced the deputy head, but his expression didn't change that much.

“Hey giftless, why are you in a seeded group?!!” (a.s.shole)

And finally, a person who could not bear it shouted out.

I face that particular knight candidate, but even I don't know why I'm suddenly placed into a seeded group.

{ED - The h.e.l.l is a seeded group? Someone care to explain?}

“Well, I don't know s.h.i.+t head, ask the deputy head instead.” (Light)

“Don't be afraid him, he's giftless!” (b.i.t.c.h)

“Yeah, you can't use gifts!” (Motherf.u.c.ker)

“It seems so!!” (s.h.i.+tbag)

"Why is he seeded?!" (d.i.c.khead)

The fuss spreads; I can't stop it by myself.

Regulus and Winnie tried defended me, but the trouble did not stop.

“Be quiet!!” (Deputy Head)

With the deputy head's intervention, the whole place quietens down.

“Light is an exceptional knight candidate … … No, he has the sword skills that reaches far beyond mine. The Heads of the Knight Order has judged, that his powers even without a gift is strong, we will polish him until he grows more. This is not favouritism or biased opinion; it is a just evaluation towards his Abilities" (Deputy Head)

“But if he loses…" (Deputy Head)

Certainly, this is an opportunity.

Perhaps it could be my first and only chance. I must be careful, considering that the deputy headmaster acknowledged me.

Then, I will not betray that expectation.

Thus, the knight selection exams began.

(TL - this was quite boring, also I'm brain dead now)
