Is... It's an incredible world. Everything is just an object in an imaginary world, but on the other hand, it is far more beautiful than the real world...... Vitality... It also has a will.

“…… Thank you so much! Lin Yiyan thanked the owner of the four holy flowers in the flower bed and the incredible voice, and after a little consideration, he took off the pin of the school badge from the neck of the uniform. Place it at one end of the pot. In order to declare to the outside world that this is their own territory.

When he got back to his room, he had to apologize for cutting it down to the black sword in the drawer under the bed, the branch of Kigascida. Also, thank you for trying to save yourself with Urobi.

Just when Lin Yiyan was thinking about these things, for a while, he looked at Zephria, who had changed back to his original posture. At last, after the bell rang at half past seven, he stood up and walked to get back to his dormitory.

In front of the door, looking south, on the stone wall surrounding the flower beds, farther away from the roof of the overhaul training ground, the Congregational Church of Santo Tora Ruca came into view as if the starry sky was cut vertically. Countless windows flicker orange as if they were a real-world supertall building. However, this side is taller and more beautiful.

- From a considerable height, a point of light left the main body of the tower.

No, gaze in. But yes, it's not a delusion. The evidence is that the light of the point of light is growing, approaching the streets of Nolan Gales to the north. The body of the light which keeps a height and glides slowly through the night sky is ......

“…… Dragon! Lin Yiyan said in a low voice.

There will be no mistake, it is a large kerosene lantern hanging from the armor of a flying dragon. It is neither a headlight nor a warning light, but a light that instills awe in the people of the earth even at night. On the back of that dragon, ride the world's strongest enforcer of order, the Knight of Integration!

The giant dragon, spreading its wings, slid across the night sky and headed northeast. I guess I flew towards the Final Yan Mountains in order to complete the guard mission. The seven hundred and fifty kilometers that Lin Yiyan and Yugeo had traveled in a whole year, and the dragon only needed to fly for one day.

The light of the kerosene lantern dissolved into the starry sky and disappeared, and Lin Yiyan turned his head back and looked at the majesty of Santolaru again. The position of the integrated knight in the air is about four-thirds of the height from the bottom to the top. There may be facilities on that level that resemble a landing field. If you look further up the floor, the top part of the tower is confused with the night sky, making it unrecognizable.

Over there. There should be something you seek. A door that connects to the real world.

However, in Lin Yiyan's heart, the heat of the desire to go home is getting thinner and thinner, is this idea his own delusion? In inverse proportion to this, Lin Yiyan wants to see more of this incredible, beautiful world, and wants to know more things, and this feeling is slowly getting bigger, is this idea his own delusion?

Lin Yiyan inhaled the fragrance of flowers in his chest, slowly spit it out, took his eyes away from Santolaru, opened the ancient door in front of him, and returned to the dormitory.

End of March –

Solutina Serlulut, the second-level superior swordsman, defeated the superior swordsman of Chairman Uro Nippontein in the final battle and the final match of the graduation knockout round, and graduated with the first place in the North Nolan Gorse Sword Cultivation Academy.

At the time of separation, Lin Yiyan sent out the flower pot that was blooming with Zephria, and saw the smile and tears that Senior Sister Lena bloomed for the first time.

She appeared at the Imperial Sword Martial Arts Conference held in the Imperial Arena after the second week of the graduation ceremony, and met the representatives of the Knights of Nolan Gorth in her first battle, and unfortunately lost the battle after a fierce battle.

………

At the same time as the sound of the leather boots rang out, the crisp sound resounded through the large room.

"Your Highness the Senior Swordsman of Eugeo, I want to report to you now! Today's cleaning is done! The owner of the voice was a red-haired girl wearing a gray junior trainer's uniform with a childish look on her face.

It's been less than a month since I entered the academy in the spring and was appointed as a retinue of a high-level swordsman, and my upright posture was full of tension.

Eugeo had been as gentle as he could with her, but no matter how much he told her, he couldn't relax the strength on his shoulders, which Yogeo himself had experienced a year ago. For junior students, the only twelve high-level swordsmen in the academy are, to some extent, closer and more terrifying than the ghost instructors.

It takes at least two months to have a normal conversation, and Yogeo is no exception. However, no matter what you do, you are an exceptional partner, and you can only be an exception in this matter. Closing the old sacred textbook he was reading and standing up from his high-backed chair, Yugeo nodded and replied, "Good work, Tigeon. I can go back to my dormitory today...... Amount, amount......"

His gaze turned to the left of Tijie's red hair, and the girl with burnt brown hair was also stretched out on her back, "...... I'm sorry, Ronier. Although I told the guy to come back before the room was cleaned......"

After the substitute coach course disappeared after the end of the current partner's apology, the junior practitioner named Ronier shook his head with wide eyes, "No, no, the mission will not be completed until the report is completed!" ”

"Well, I'm sorry, just wait a little longer. I don't know what to say, that ...... I'm sorry that the guy who shares the room with me is the kind of guy who is really sorry......"

The Imperial Sword Academy of Northern Santoria is the highest-level swordsman training institution that gathers the children of nobles and wealthy merchants from all over Nolan Gals, but when you step into the gate of the academy, even if you have royal blood on your body, you have to start from a junior practitioner and stand on the same starting line as others.

In the first year, there was basically no chance to touch the real sword, and there was only a continuous practice of the wooden sword, and the study of tactical theory and sacred arts, and the junior students had to learn all kinds of chores in the academy as a course.

What kind of work you will be assigned to is determined by the score of the sword skills test that will be taken immediately after entering the school. Ninety percent of the students are assigned to the cleaning department and tool organization department in this school, or the cultivation department of the holy flower, and those who score in the top twelve will be appointed as the retinue of the superior sword cultivator, and will be envied by the students of the same level and nervous for about two months.

However, although it is called an entourage, the actual work is not much different from that of other students. When the students of the same level clean the classrooms and practice grounds, they also have to clean the rooms of the senior students, and this is the same thing, but if the students who follow them are bad at heart, deliberately littering, making trouble, or have a bad habit of wandering around and not knowing where to disappear, they will be like this Ronier who will fall into a hard situation every day.

“…… If Ronier wishes, it will be up to me and the teacher to agree, and the retinue should be replaced by someone else...... If you follow this guy, it will be a hard year, yes. ”

"One, it's not hard at all!" Ronier shook his head again loudly at Yugeo's proposal, and at this moment. Not from the door, but from the dusk outside the open window, the sound of habit was heard.

"Oh, what did you say while they were away?" Slipping into the room from the window on the third floor was Yi Yan, his partner for the past two years, wearing the uniform of a high-level swordsman. The exterior is identical, and the Giugeo's uniform is a few gray ginseng in the blue, but quite really, it is completely pitch black over there. The color of the uniform can be freely chosen, which is one of the most privileges of a high-ranking sword cultivator.

Seeing Yi Yan coming back with a very fragrant paper bag, the corners of Ronier's mouth bloomed with peace of mind for a moment, but his face immediately tightened again, and his long leather boots sounded in a high voice, "Your Royal Highness Yi Yan's senior swordsman, I want you to report now!" Today's cleaning was completed without delay! ”

"Okay, good work." Yi Yan, who was still not good at dealing with the existence of the retinue practitioner himself, grabbed his hair at a loss and responded to Ronier at the same time. Looking at him like that, Yugeo smiled wryly as he formally asked his partner what he had done.

"That, Yi Yan, I won't tell you not to go out of school, but they are several times busier than you, so come back before the cleaning is over." Besides, why do you have to come in through the window? ”

"If you're coming back from East 3rd Avenue, this window is the shortest distance. Ronier and Tizzie should also remember that they may be able to use them in the future. ”

"Don't teach strange things! Speaking of East Third Avenue, inside that paper bag is the honey pie of Dancing Deer Pavilion. The sweet scent wafting from Yi Yan's hand violently irritated Eugeo's stomach pouch before dinner.

"It's a gem, but you don't need to buy that much back."

"Hehe, if you want it, just say it, Yogio-kun." Yi Yan smiled evilly, and took out two freshly baked golden-colored cylindrical pies from the bulging paper bag, one next to Yugeo, and the other on his mouth. The remaining paper bag was gently placed in Ronier's hand.

"When you get back to your dorm, let's eat with the people in your room." Tizzie and Ronier, wow! He let out a cheer like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and then stood up in a panic.

"No, thank you very much, Your Highness the Superior Sword Cultivator!" Ronier said.

"In order not to reduce the destiny of the materials obtained too much, rush back to the dormitory at full speed! See you tomorrow then! Tizzie said loudly.

After a high-speed bow, the two men walked across the room in their long leather boots, opened the door and walked out of the hallway. After a slight nod, he watched as the door was shut, another cheer came from the hallway, and the sound of running quickly faded away.

"......" Eugeo, took a big bite of the freshly baked pie, and stared sideways at Yi Yan.

"What are you doing?"

"No, nothing. It's just that I'm wondering, His Royal Highness Yi Yan's Senior Swordsman, must have forgotten the purpose of the two of us here. ”

"Ha, who would forget" Yi Yan quickly finished the pie, licked his thumb, and his black eyes looked out the window - it was not visible from the junior training dormitory, and the giant tower of the Congregational Church stood in the center of Santoria.

"And three more times...... Finally came to this point, first of all, I had to win the other ten senior swordsmen in the graduation examination competition, and sit in the seat of the academy representative. Then, it was the uncles who defeated the Knights and the Guards at the Imperial Sword Martial Arts Conference. In the end, the two of them stayed together until the end at the meeting of the Four Empires Unification God. Next, you'll be able to become an Integration Knight. Enter the tower from the front in a dignified manner. ”

"Hmm...... One year to go...... Just, finally able to ......"

- Finally, I can. Eight years ago, the blonde playmate who was taken away by the integration knight in front of his eyes. Yugeo's gaze returned from Santolaru Castoralula in the distance, to the white and black swords that lay on the walls of the room.

As long as the two swords of destiny that guide the two are still by our side, we will never fail. There was not a trace of doubt, and Eugeo believed so.

………

Eugeo's goal is different from that of other students, and it will not end when he wins the championship at the Four Empires Unification Conference, the top sword art tournament in the human world, and is appointed as an Integration Knight.

When you become a knight and step through the doors of the Central Cathedral of the Congregational Church, which even a first-class knight cannot step into...... You can see the childhood sweetheart who was brought to the cathedral in the distant past, the girl Alice Tgreen Belker.

It was his partner Yi Yan who pointed out the path to a distant wish for him who had given up for a while. In the past two years, no matter what kind of difficulties, they have successfully overcome them with the strength of the two of them. Eugeo teaches Yi Yan, who has lost his memory, various rules from the Basic Law of the Empire, and Yi Yan teaches Yogeo his own swordsmanship, "Ayn Grant Stream", and the two are like brothers...... No, it's like a twin, and they have come to this day in unison.

Now that he has become a high-level swordsman, Yugeo and Yi Yan also live in the same room in the dormitory. However, even so, only the living room is common, and the bedroom is separated. Although the bed in Loulid's village home was not comparable to the wide and soft bed, the luxurious bathroom where you could enjoy hot water as you like, and the variety of meals served in the sword-repairer's cafeteria, Yugeo felt a little guilty, but Yi Yan didn't seem to take much time to get used to it.

However, even this Yi Yan has the only thing that he is not good at as Geugeo.

The privileges enjoyed by the only twelve high-level swordsmen in the academy were not limited to the dedicated dormitories. Each person is also equipped with an excellent junior practitioner who takes care of their daily life as a close attendant. When Yugeo served as a close attendant to the bold and upright senior swordsman last year, it can be said that it was not hard at all...... It's a lot of fun, but it's a different story when it's the other way around.

How to say it, the junior trainer who was appointed as Eugeo's attendant this year was a young girl named Tije Tetrani, who was born into a sixth-class knight's family, and was now just over sixteen years old. The attendant on Yi Yan's side was a sixteen-year-old girl named Ronier Yarlabelle, who was also born into a sixth-class knight family, and the two boys from the border were too far behind them.

Tijie didn't say she was good at this at all. A girl with red hair and red eyes that is rare in the Northern Regions is always full of energy, and has a strong self-motivation and diligence, which makes Yugeo, as a mentor, learn a lot from her.

However, Yugeo still couldn't take it for granted that she was three years younger than herself, and that she was a nobleman, let alone a girl, taking care of her daily life. Every day, when she was worried and said, "I'll do this," Tijie would say, "No, this is what the waiter should do!" words to refute.

Yi Yan's situation was similar, whenever Ronier came to clean the room, he disappeared for various reasons, and this happened a lot during the month - however.

Today, on the seventeenth day of the fifth month of the year 380, when Tijie and Ronier finished cleaning their room, Yi Yan, who finally came back from climbing the window, was holding a large paper bag. The paper bag contained a lot of famous honey pies from the old snack bar "Jumping Deer Pavilion" on East 3rd Road in the 6th District of Santoria North, Yi Yan set aside two for himself and Yugeo, and gave the rest to Tijie and them, so that they could "eat with everyone in the room".

Since the academy prohibits junior practitioners from going out on weekdays, of course, they can't go to the market to buy desserts to eat. It was the first time that Yugeo had seen the two girls who had received the unexpected thing running back to the junior trainer's dormitory with joy.

It is the task of the swordsman to establish a relationship with the squire practitioner and teach the sword skills without reservation, so the honey pie is also part of Yi Yan's efforts - but even so, Yugeo, who thought of this, squinted his eyes. The black-haired partner ate the pie with a nonchalant expression, and continued, "Next, Yogio-kun, would you like to practice with me a little before dinner?" ”

"I don't care. But tomorrow is the exam of the advanced divine arts. And there is not only a written test, but also a practical drill for the generation of cold elements that Yi Yan is not good at. ”

Hearing Yugeo's criticism, "Woo...... stopped when he was about to grab his arm to practice using the wooden sword. After struggling for a few seconds, Yi Yan finally let out a sigh and lowered his arm, making a subtle sound, "Really, why do you have to prepare for the exam when you come to such a place......

Indeed, as Yi Yan said, when he waved his father and son in Lulide Village, Yugeo never thought that he would learn sacred art in Yangdu. Like Yi Yan, practicing swordsmanship makes Yugeo happier than memorizing complex techniques, but if he doesn't do well in the subject exam, even if he gets a good score in swordsmanship, he won't be able to get the recommendation qualification for the Sword Martial Arts Conference.
