In the year 1280 of the Western calendar, spring.

The bell tower in the center of the Dreiser Rider Academy rang out, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed through the campus, and was slowly sucked into the cloudless clear sky.

It wasn't a short bell that announced the start and end of the lesson, but a long tone that meant it was a special day. On this day,The school will hold a ceremony to raise the industry。

There are students everywhere in the school park with "badges" pinned to their graduation certificates.。

They are different in age and department. Not only the Dreiser Cavalry Academy, but also the Kingdom of Verrad has a high degree of educational freedom, and there are many graduates who have not completed the entire education course.

The ceremony, which is not divided into primary, secondary or higher divisions, is a farewell to all those who are leaving the school today.

Among them, there is a group that gathers graduates of the middle division of the Dreiser Rider Gymnastic Academy.

They are treated a little differently than other graduates. According to the customs of this world, people who have reached the age of 15 are generally considered adults, and the third grade of the middle school is just turning 15 this year, so the graduation ceremony of the middle school has the same meaning as the coming-of-age ceremony.

"A lot of things really happened, and a lot of things went in strange directions, but I graduated without any problems. 」

"I didn't expect to do so many good things as we wanted, and the school was willing to give us a graduation certificate. 」

"It feels like telling us to get out of here—"

"It's that I don't have any memory of serious classes since the middle of the year. 」

There is also a particularly striking group among these middle school graduates: a small teenager in the center, a dwarven boy, and a tall twin standing on either side—the army of childhood playmates of Elnést, Batson, Archid, and Adelchu, or the Captain of the Silver Phoenix and his friends. They will also be adults this year.

It's no wonder that graduating sooners have such mixed feelings.

In retrospect, when they were in school, they simply did whatever they wanted to the point of lawlessness, and they really couldn't be said to be serious and good students. It's just the beginning of going to a class that doesn't matter to the eight poles.,And then suddenly it started to make new machines.,Use the equipment of the school park at will.,Finally even occupied the entire department (and the higher department.)。 The list goes on.

I guess it's a child corps that hasn't been a problem since the school was founded.

"Indeed, it is a special case for me to lead a knight order at this age, and in turn, I was instructed on the use of the Phantom Armor in turn......

Although he is a problem child, the results are incomparable.

Perhaps the most significant achievement of this is the invention and popularization of the Phantom Armor. The existence of the Phantom Armor has a wide range of influences, involving various fields. And thanks to that. Not only at the Dreiser Gymnastics Academy, but also in educational institutions across the country, the content of education will be renewed.

As a result, the Silver Phoenix Knights of the "Inventor" were vying for the "inventor" as instructors from all over the world, so that they who were about to graduate couldn't figure out whether they were students or teachers.

It's because of their special circumstances.,Graduation has also become the result of the school's compromise with this group of troublesome characters who "stay in the school park and don't have a problem with them.。

The graduation ceremony was held uneventful, followed by the end of the graduation ceremony as the current students watched the graduates walk out of the main entrance outside the school.

From tomorrow, the graduates will go their separate ways and go their separate ways in life.

Some people look back on their school days, while others feel uneasy about the future, and they slowly walk to the door with their own sentimentality in their arms. At this moment, I don't know where the sound of heavy footsteps sounded.

There was no need to look for the source of the sound, and the group of phantom knights appeared not far away. The process that was not present at the ceremony made everyone present look confused.

In the face of the bewildered crowd, the troops dispersed, lined up at equal intervals from the main gate to the square.

The knights straightened their backs and lined up in beautiful postures, facing each other with the slightest movement. Immediately afterwards, all the knights drew their swords at their waists at the same time,

Holding the sword in his right hand with the sheath in his left hand, he then raises the sword high and staggers it with the opposite side, and then quietly retracts it in front of his head. The whole machine came to a standstill in a posture of praying to the sword, and a "path" was opened up by the Phantom Knight with his sword.

A nearby Phantom Knight spoke to the graduates who didn't know how to be good:

"Congratulations to all of you on your graduation. We'll be leaving this place soon, but at least let's give you a ride today. 」

The sight is as solemn as a cloister lined with statues. The graduates blushed with joy as they passed through the passage opened by the Giant Knights of Steel. Presumably, this year's graduation ceremony will leave a deep impression on the hearts of many people.

Needless to say, the people who drove these phantom knights were members of the Silver Phoenix Knights.

They will take such a special action because of the slow walk at the end of the graduate procession - the head of the regiment who walks with a smile on his face and a song on his face. Artie also showed a similar smile, walking hand in hand with Al, while Chid and Batson, who were not far behind, followed with their chests held high and grinning as they liked.

That's it,Their six-year turbulent school life came to an end here.。

Just after passing through the main entrance of the school park, Al turned around. The vast campus of the Riding Gymnass School Park stretches out along the opposite side of the door. He said aloud with a lot of emotion, "Dreiser Rider Academy, you have taken care of me so much in the past...... Silver Phoenix Knights, withdraw!!"

Receiving an order from the regimental commander, the regimental members acted very quickly.

The Phantom Riders began to move at the same time, not only that, but also the carriage behind them. The rest of the group got into the wagons and put the various tools they were using. It is not an exaggeration to say that these luggage are all the belongings of the Silver Phoenix Knights, and this is actually a part of their defense.

With the graduation of the Captain, the Silver Phoenix Knights officially separated from the Dreiser's Cavalry Academy, and began their official activities as an independent organization

Move. It is planned to be based on the newly built "Ovesi Fortress" on the outskirts of Dreiser Gakuen City, and it will be active all over the country.

This day became the day of their departure in a double sense.

This is the high mountain mountain that separates the countries on the western side of the continent from the kingdom of Villerd, the "Aubigne Mountains".

On both sides of the continent, there are roads on both sides of the continent that are known as "East and West Streets", and they are built along the valleys that are easier to walk in the middle of the mountains.

The road itself is quite well built, but due to the original terrain, it is still quite difficult to get around.

A motorized carriage was moving down the east and west streets.

This convoy leads the Phantom Knights who escort it, and the scale is not small. They were not merchants, they brought very few supplies with them, and at best the wagons had only the necessities of the trip. There is a carriage in the center that is larger than any other vehicle.

The car was plainly decorated, but it was built quite sturdily, and you can tell that the passengers inside were not low.

The group marched solemnly, but no sooner had they crossed the top of the hill than a rough voice in the carriage stopped the coachman.

"Hey, stop the carriage!!"

The stop flag was waved down, the carriage stopped one after another, and the Phantom Knights who were guarding them were positioned and stood in positions that could protect everyone. It was obviously a whim, but everyone's actions were impeccable, so it can be seen that this kind of thing happened several times during the trip.

The carriage shook a little, and the passengers inside stepped out of the carriage.

He wears a haute fibre dress of fine workmanship and the use of expensive fabrics. Unfortunately, his physique seems to be too good. The man is nearly two meters tall, and he has also developed a strong physique, which is the embodiment of adjectives such as wild and rough. Such neat and crisp clothes did not match his original courage. In the eyes of others, there is even a strange atmosphere brewing.

But I don't care about it at all.

He inhaled heavily, exhaling as if savoring the air that filled his chest. The strong muscles bulge as the lungs expand, making the white and flawless shirt make a tight sound. Sadly, the clothes made for him were as fragile as candles in the wind in front of his magnificent muscles.

"The air is so good! The air of the great Aubigne is so fresh and pleasant. It's boring to be in such a cramped castle. 」

The wind in the mountains ruffled his ungroomed hair. Blonde hair mixed with a hint of red stretches like a lion's mane

"That's true, Your Highness. This guy is also saying that the situation is better than usual. 」

The Phantom Knight, the guard behind him, took a deep breath as the intake of the Mana Transformation Furnace sounded high-pitched.

"Haha, that's right!oh oh! look, find a hometown that I miss!!"

From the peak to the base of the mountain, there is a green landscape dotted with abrupt colors that resemble towns. The royal capital of Kankunen and the central royal city, Scherebel City, are located there, and even the tiny city of Dreiser's school can be seen further afield.

"Oh, good Verrad. Then Your Highness, since it is close at hand, let us hurry into Kankunin. "Don't be so stingy, I've been hiding in that boring little place! 」

He had just stretched his limbs when the buttons on his chest flew out with a "jump". It also sounded like the screams of the craftsmen of the royal capital who sewed the garment.

"Oh, this dress is so expensive and so fragile. It was given by someone else, but I still don't understand the style of Keshapega. 」

After complaining, Emrith Yère Verrad, the second son of the first prince of the kingdom of Virard, Riotamos, got into the carriage again.
