Chapter 47: Knights and Gifts

Ever since Potterfang referred to Lorits as a 'master' in public, Lorist suddenly felt a trend in the academy. He did not know if it was Kelly who spread the rumors, but the workers at the Gold rank instructor residence started greeting him cheerfully. Occasionally, when they saw him walking past, they would step aside and bow as he passed by and bow deeply as they said, "Good day, master," which Lorist was usually unfamiliar with.

Then came Terman. It was rather late that night when Shadekampf reported that Terman had come to visit.

Lorist felt that it was a bit strange because Terman would usually not visit alone without others, especially late at night. Maybe something's wrong? Or maybe it was something about the Sword Science Society? Then again, there should be no activity whatsoever as this is a semester holiday …

Lorist then descended to receive Terman in the waiting room.

He asked Terman to sit down just to be ignored. Instead, Terman stood in front of Lorist somewhat respectfully and said something that surprised him. "I have resigned. ”

"Huh?" Lorist was completely stunned …

He's just kidding, isn't he? Terman was the vice-captain of the Enforcement Academy and was also the vice-chairman of the Society of Sword Sciences..Why didn't I get any notice of his resignation even though I was the chairman of that Institute of Sword Sciences? Who allowed it?

“I've been thinking about it for the last few days and finally made a decision this afternoon. Charade doesn't know about it yet. I went to talk to the head of the academy about it and he has agreed to my resignation, ” Terman said solemnly.

"What makes you want to do that?" Lorist was getting confused the more he thought about it. Terman's position in the academy earned him about 9 gold Fords each month. It was a salary that many people were envious of. Why did he suddenly resign?

Terman lowered his head and said, “I'm starting to feel that my days in the academy are too smooth and boring. I started to crave some real battles. My father told me that as a knight, the greatest shame he had was that he did not perish on the battlefield but because of illness. Being a knight, I did not intend to give up on the same fate as my father's fate. I believe I should go everywhere to seek conquest and battle. ”

What ... What kind of reason is that? Are you still the cool, calm, and reliable Terman that everyone loves and trusts? Don't tell me anyone moved in here and took over your body? As Terman's good friend, Lorist felt that he had a responsibility to at least try to stop him from making rash decisions before things could not be taken back.

Before he could think of anything to convince Terman to reconsider his decision, Lorist saw Terman kneeling before him with one knee. "Locke, this is the last time I'm gonna call you that. Would you be kind enough to accept a friend who has nowhere else to go with you on the way to the North?

“I, Waprey Terman, am willing to pledge myself as a knight of the Norton Family and make you, Norton Lorist, as my master and liaison. I will follow your steps and conquer your enemies for you. ”

Lorist was shaken again ……

Suddenly he saw Potterfang standing beside them with Lorist's long sword in his hand which he passed by.

Pulling the sword out of its sheath, Lorist tapped Terman on each shoulder twice and said solemnly, "Rise up, my knight. ”

And thus the simple knight ceremony was completed. Potterfang received Terman with a hug and said, “Welcome, my brother. ”

Oh, this is a good welcome. At least that part is normal, Lorist thought.

Shadekampf happily greeted Terman with a bow. As expected of the young master. Yet another Three Star Silver Swordsman joined us. Something like this would be unimaginable in Northland ..The Norton Family would definitely prosper under the leadership of the young master!

Shadekampf suddenly remembered something important and hastily reminded his young master, “Young master, you still do not have the knight family badge. I brought you the design .... ”.

"Give this to Reidy and tell him to order it from the badge maker. Oh, and prepare one rank one Gold as well. Pog will break through soon, "said Lorist.

I really don't understand why Terman decided to declare himself a knight .. Maybe that's the difference between this world and the world I came from, the attitude of the people there is quite individualistic in that they often look for achievements with their own ability to show their achievements. However, the Grindians mostly extorted their achievements in service to the noble families instead. This is the main difference of different cultures.

Lorist began to get increasingly frustrated at the stark differences between the two cultures. "Oh, Terman, you already have a high-ranking War Forces manual already passed down in your family, right?"

"That's right, sir," replied Terman.

"Then I won't give you a Battle Force manual. Shadekampf, go to my study room and get a piece of Mizek Steel Armor for Terman as a knight gift, ”command Lorist.

The Mizek Stainless Steel Armor was a staple product of the Mizek Sector of the Temanda Kingdom and was renowned for its relatively higher defense than its peers which allowed it to withstand stabbing attacks better than most other armors. However, the supply for the armor was rather low and it was very difficult to even buy one because it sold faster. Lorist obtained one from President Peterson for 300 gold coins because he wanted to be protected every hidden attack on the way to his dominance. He never expected that he would give it just three days after getting it.

"Thank you, my Lord," Terman said as he accepted the armor gratefully.

Lorist then went upstairs and left Potterfang and Terman alone to celebrate the newly formed brotherhood. “I'll rest, I can already feel a headache. Terman, there is still an empty living room upstairs so you can move in now. ”

Since Terman had already resigned from his position as a Gold-ranked instructor, he could no longer stay in his villa in the instructor's residence. Luckily Lorist still had an empty room.

"All right, sir," said Terman,

———————————————————

The news of Lorist's departure to the north to become the ruler of power spread like wildfire overnight in the academy. When Lorist returned to his villa for doing some tasks, he bumped into Skali Supervisor who happily forced Lorist to come with him to his house where he advised Lorist to pay attention to his health because Northland was deserted and much colder than the others from the continent. After which, he took out a hand-knitted fur coat and gave it to him before wishing him all the best on his way to becoming a great king.

Lorist received the coat but he was still curious about how he could find out all of it even when he did not mention a single word of this to others ……

After dinner, though, Instructor Marlin came to visit and brought a large crate which he said contained things that his wife always used and said that it was her gift to Lorist because he believed that it would prove to be very useful during journey.

Lorist nearly fainted when he heard that and tried hard to reject the gift. Why did he need the items that Marlin's wife used on the way? The misunderstanding persisted until Marlin opened the chest. Inside the box was a set of horse armor, a saddle and some stirrups. Apparently, Instructor Marlin often referred to her beloved horse, Jenny, as her second wife.

Carefully stroking the items, she told Lorist that because Jenny was getting old and losing her ability to run fast, she had told him, those items were not used much for it and he only kept them for the past. Now that Lorist would undoubtedly ride a horse or two on his way north, these items would prove to be very useful, especially armor, as well, that will give the horse a decent boost in defense.

Thanking Instructor Marlin, Lorist opened a few bottles of wine and drank together with him.

Instructor Marlin conversed with him cheerfully as he bragged about heroic antics in the days when he served in the city garrison. In the end, he was sent home completely in vain.

In the afternoon of the next day, it was the turn of Instructor Anfya to come visit. He carried his big chest again. First and foremost, she told Lorist about her husband, Instructor Claude's successful breakthrough to the Blademaster level after gaining some insight after more than half a year of training. This is an event that will forever change the status, position, and reputation of Dawn Academy.

Lorist quickly congratulated him. Instructor Anfya later told him that inside the chest were seven good quality swords that were part of Instructor Claude's collection. He had heard that Lorist was going to head to the Northlands to inherit his position as master and believed that this sword would be useful. While he was confident in Lorist's swordsmanship, he was worried that Lorist's longsword would not be able to handle the continuous battles that he would undoubtedly experience in the future. That was why he decided to hand this sword over to him to help in his journey.

Lorist thanked him again and began to think about what to present Instructor Claude to congratulate him on his recent success. Already seeing Lorist's intentions, Anfya politely rejected the good sentiment. She mentioned that the main factor of her husband's breakthrough was the duel she had with Lorist one year ago which gave her a lot of insight to ponder. As for himself, he said that he had already learned the art of reading the pulses from Lorist so that he would not have to trouble himself for such a thing.

Instructor Anfya opened the box and was very happy. Just as he was about to pick it up to check out the gift, Lorist told him to take time at home and also reminded him not to tell others that he got it from him to save himself from trouble.

Instructor Anfya nodded and cautiously returned to the box with the safe in her arms.

In the following days, Lorist received many gifts that filled his entire study. Almost every acquaintance of his came to give him a parting gift that ranged from weapons, gloves, shoes, robes, as well as cold-resistant clothes. Instructor Hughes gave him a nice set of leather armor while Welledor, the knight training instructor, gave him a pair of golden horse spurs. Instructor Wensen from the horseback riding course gave Lorist a nice Illinoihaus horse. The horse breed is a favorite of heavy armored knights as it is large in stature and able to withstand relatively heavier loads as well as being quite intelligent and has one of the fastest acceleration times. The only drawback is that it is not suitable for long distance running and is rather picky with its food.

Loboff from the herbal medicine faculty gave Lorist a set of test tubes and lab equipment commonly used in herbal medicine potions. The crate containing the tools was even padded properly so that the objects inside were not easily broken. Lorist really did not know what to say. It's not like I'm going back to being an herbalist, is it? What can I use it for?

———————————————————

Next came Charade and Yuriy. Lorist was relieved when he saw the two of them coming empty-handed and it seemed like they were not here to send him away with a gift. He invited them into the waiting room and Lorist was surprised when he heard what Yuriy said.

“Locke, I came here today with Brother Charade to join you on your journey. We have resigned and are ready to become your knights. ”

Charade just stood there pouting without saying a word.

Yuriy stared at Lorist going into the restroom and coming out with a silver plate like a mirror in his hand. After looking into his shadow for a while, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Locke, what are you doing?" Yuriy asked, strange with Lorist's erratic actions.

Lorist replied, “I was checking if something suddenly grew on my face and gave me a domineering air that caused the two of you to join my cause. Good thing there's nothing weird, because you guys are just messing with me, right? ”

Yuriy laughed and said, “Locke, we are serious about this. ”

Lorist did not want to believe it. “It's okay, stop joking. I still have a lot of things I need to work on and I'm exhausted. Joking with me at a time like that really isn't a friend, you know? ”

Yuriy's face turned serious as he said, "Locke, I'm actually resigning from the academy. You know I'm from the Khawistan Khanate plains, right? Were it not for the fact that my parents had saved the count's life, I would not be studying in Morante City right now. Some time ago, the count came back to me and asked if I wanted to become a knight under his family. I have rejected it because my father has perished because of his service. While I was a horse riding instructor at Dawn Academy, the students of course disrespected me because I came from a grassy plain. You should know this too. If it wasn't for you and our friends, I would have left this place long ago. Now that Terman has chosen to follow you, I also want to. I believe that he made the right choice to become your knight. This way, we can all be together even after you go north. ”

“Alright, your reasons make me completely confident. I welcome your participation, Yuriy. But what about the fat? Since when was he the kind of person who would serve under others? ”Ask Lorist while looking at the pouting Charade.

Yuriy laughed before saying, “It's like this. He received a bit of a surprise during this afternoon. ”

"Yok? What kind of master can do that? I have to actually visit that person to learn from him, ” Lorist said curiously.

"That's Terman" replied Yuriy.

"There is no road . How did Terman even do that? "Lorist interested. Terman has always been a straightforward person who is always messed around by fat instead of the other way around.

"Didn't Charade's father come in a few days ago?"

“Yup, I know about that. I even visited him, ”nodding Lorist.

Charade is also not a local resident of Morante City. His family hails from the Kingdom of Teribo which is famous for its green glass products and oil. His father was a merchant who owned property in the City of Morante and the capital of the Kingdom of Teribo. In addition, he was also the cousin of Academy Head Levins and also contributed quite a lot financially to the academy. This was also why Charade was able to act out of control because no one dared to find trouble with what he was doing.

During the two days Charade's father came to visit, he treated the Head of the Academy to a meal. After eating, they decide to wander the academy, only to meet Terman and Yuriy.

At the time, Yuriy was conflicted over whether he should resign as did Terman. As he left his room, he looked at Charade's father and the Head of the Academy Academy and came forward to greet them. Just as he was about to wave his halo, Terman approached while wearing the knight badge of the Norton Family with Charade following him. As Charade laughed at the newly acquired Terman badge, Charade's father quickly pulled him away and bowed deeply to Terman and asked very politely, "Good day, sir. Is there anything I can help you with? '

Terman, Charade, Yuriy and Levins were all stunned into silence ……

Suddenly, the atmosphere turned strange in an instant. Charade's father then asked carefully, "My master, you …"

Terman immediately fled …

After coming out of the trance, Charade shouted at his father. “Dad, that's my friend! Why would you do that?! That's so embarrassing! Gah! "

However, Charade's father knocked on his head violently and said, “That person is a noble! Didn't you see that badge on his chest? What a domineering Raging Bear! The side badge also has a laurel design, which means that the family has at least 200 years of history. Even if he is your friend, you still have to act with respect. There's nothing embarrassing about that, okay?

“In this world, there are two things that a person should appreciate. The first is a noble title and the other is knowledge. For example, your Uncle Levins here is respected for his vast knowledge and the status of the academy's head. However, knowledge can only amaze a person for so long before it no longer inspires once a certain amount of time passes. However, a noble title that could be passed down from generation to generation could even raise the status of the entire family. Don't think that just because I'm rich, I don't have to adhere to this habit. Even the richest people need to show respect when looking at a noble from a rural area, because they have the right and the power to kill an ordinary person who dares disrespect them, he said, and that includes you too.

“Don't bother getting upset now. Do you think that you escaped the bad side of some of the previous nobles? Those people were different from land nobles. They were only honorary nobles whose titles were empty and empty because they did not have decent power, like Uncle Levins. His title was only honor and could not be passed down to his descendants. You can easily distinguish from the badges they wear. Why isn't your uncle wearing his noble badge, you might ask? It was because he felt it was a shame because he had no power nor did he have his own subordinates. Without it, what influence would one have? ”

Academy Head Levins was still silent …

“It's my fault for not being able to get a noble title for you to inherit. Titles that you can buy with money are just honorary titles that don't really mean much. If you can obtain the hereditary noble title for the family, then I will die without regret! Your status in the academy doesn't count as nonsense in the real world. In the end, you are just a tool for your Uncle to use to solve his problem. Think about it, aren't you just like the bodyguard of a top Labor Union official? Even though they looked tall and mighty and made a lot of money, they were simply useless tools that could only follow orders. ”

Academy Head Levins started to freeze again …

Charade's father sighed once more before continuing, “At that time I put my hopes on helping the family obtain the title of nobleman. But looking at you now, I just wish you could live the rest of your life in peace. Let's hope your sons and grandchildren will try harder to achieve that dream for our family … "

After saying that, Charade's father turned around and walked away alone, leaving Levins Academy Head Charade and Yuriy standing amidst the leaves blown up by the whirling gust of wind ……

The three of them were completely silent. At that moment, Yuriy used the opportunity to inform the academy chief of his resignation, which he immediately agreed to.

Seeing the fatty standing there flabbergasted, Yuriy added, "The persuasion here will also resign …"

Academy Head Levins just turned around and started to leave. But he still said one thing, "Go .. All of you, go as you please. I'm hoping that your ambition will be achieved and wish you a safe journey. ”

……

“And that's what happened before. Locke, if you do not accept us as your family's knights, then we will have no choice but to wander around as godless knights, ” Yuriy said.
