When the elevator door opens, the setting sun slowly comes into view. Two rows of knights facing each other rode their own starlight unicorn beasts, and bowed respectfully to Vertis:

"Your Highness Virtis, please instruct!"

At this moment, Veltis did not have the rogue atmosphere of the previous scoundrel, but also made a knightly salute in front of him very seriously.

"The armies obey the order: disband!"

Then the two rows of knights performed another knightly salute, and then took off one after the other in a very orderly manner, and flew down.

Presumably on the level of the Armed Zone, there is a gliding bay for Starlight Unicorns to take off and land. During the attack, the Unicorn Knights flew out of the Gliding Warehouse along the glide path from the fortress with the Starlight Unicorn Beast.

Looking at the scene of the starlight unicorn flying, Blake and Genosis were both excited.

Veltis turned to Genosis and said, "What are we?"

Enosis imitated a knightly salute and said, "We are knights!"

Helpless, Viltis looked at Blake, who recalled what Viltis had said and said, "We, are knights, but we, first and foremost, are soldiers!"

Veltis nodded in satisfaction.

It's late in the evening. Veltis looked at the sunset, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Field!" Veltis suddenly shouted.

"Here!" replied a knight on guard at the elevator doorway.

"From today onwards, you don't have to be on duty in the garrison first, and I'll give you a task to explain all the basics of knighthood to these two little guys. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Viltis then said: "There is some movement in the southeast of here, I have to go and see it." Summons the order to continue to maintain daily vigilance. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After Field had finished the herald, Veltis walked to the edge of the fortress rooftop without looking back, and then—

"Angel Body!"

Bang!

The strange thing this time is that it is not the one-sided two-winged, solid angel wings like last time, but the brilliant golden six wings condensed by the normal light element.

With a roar, Vertis had already flown a hundred meters away.

Field watched Veltis go. Then he looked down at the two children who were much shorter than him, and asked:

"What's your name?"

Blake first imitated a knightly salute and said, "Trainee knight, Blake!"

Genosis made the same move: "Cadet Knight, Genosis. ”

Field nodded and said, "Go back to your dorm and get up at half past five tomorrow morning." Meet here. I'm not going to call you. If you can't get there, I don't care what your relationship with His Highness Veltis is, I'll kick you out of this fortress, understand?"

"Yes, sir. Blake saluted decently, and then took Genosis to the elevator.

"Who told you to take the elevator, go, take the stairs!" said Field, reproaching.

"Oh......" Blake replied in a curt, but Geneross saluted again, "Yes, sir!"

..................

And usually the elevator is not used. Everyone was climbing the stairs. Genosis asked the other soldiers who were walking the stairs, and it turned out that this was the rule set by Veltis.

The two roughly figured out the structure of the fortress.

The armed zone, at the top, has four floors. The symbol is E, e.g., E4 is the fourth floor of the armed zone. E1 is the first floor of the armed zone, and the numbers from bottom to top are from small to large;

The living quarters, between the armed area and the reserve area, have a total of six floors, symbolized by the symbol L. The same goes for the rest;

Reserve area. At the bottom, there are four floors, and the symbol is R.

The L1 floor is the cafeteria.

Floors L2 to L6 are basically dormitories.

Only logistics staff with a certificate can enter the R area.

The entrance for Genosis and Black to enter the fortress is on the R4 floor

On the contrary, the dormitory location chosen by Viltis for the two is L6. Very far from the canteen.

Although the physical strength of the two was much stronger than before they woke up, they were so unaccustomed to walking the stairs for some reason, so that when they reached the dormitory, they were already tired and out of breath.

Genosis looked at the seemingly simple room, feeling a little helpless, all these days, he didn't seem to have tried to do what he wanted to do for a day, although he had nothing to do. In fact, he was complaining about why he seemed to be being dragged along by others.

After the two of them roughly tidied up, they went to the L1 floor for dinner. Dinner was very basic but well nourished.

After dinner, the two went back to sleep. In order to be able to wake up as early as possible on the second day.

..................

Early the next morning.

"Hmm...... Why is it so noisy?" said Genossis was the first to wake up. The environment here is a bit quirky, and it's not very comfortable to sleep in.

It turned out that the normal time for the soldiers to get up was five o'clock. And at this time, the soldiers on the night watch were off duty.

Genosis hurriedly shook Blake, but Blake salivaed: "Chicken legs...... Drumstick...... Don't go!"

Denosis was helpless and shouted, "It's half past five!"

"Huh?!"

Blake jumped out of the bed like a spring.

Looking at Blake, who was hurriedly dressing, Genesis had no choice but to go wash up first.

The two hurriedly ran to L1 for a simple breakfast. However, it turned out that it was crowded with people.

Genosis thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we will get up at half past four. Otherwise, I won't have to eat breakfast. Then he pulled the somewhat unwilling Black out of the cafeteria and walked directly up to the rooftop.

Field had been waiting at the top for a long time.

The two were out of breath, and Field, seeing this, asked, "Didn't you eat breakfast?"

The two nodded. Field was silent for a moment, not silent. Then Field said, "Well, it's half past five, it's about the same time." You run two laps around this rooftop first. Be careful not to fall. ”

Janosis looked closely behind Field, and there was a group of guys in knight's uniforms who were a little taller than him, probably recruits.

The two ran along the edge of the fortress's rooftop. It turns out that there is a runway at the edge of this rooftop, but for a safe distance, there is a fence, and it will not fall.

After two laps, the two felt average, because they were used to it. Field asked, "How many meters is a lap?"

After being silent for a while, Genosis said, "It shouldn't be accurate, three thousand meters a circle." ”

Blake looked at Genosis in astonishment. Seeing that the two had different expressions, Field asked Genosis to explain it to Blake.

"Do you remember what Lord Veltis bought us on the first day?"

"Map. ”

Genosis pondered for a moment and said, "Do you remember any habits I have?"

Blake thought for a moment and said, "Maps? Everywhere you go, you ask the teacher for money to buy a map of the area." ”

When Field heard this, he remained silent. Obviously, Blake's scheming has never been as good as that of Genosis.

"Well, then, are you going to think of the map as a guide?" asked Genosis rhetorically.

"Uh......" Blake asked, stunned.

"I think it's more likely that Master Veltis is trying to exercise our sense of distance, because maps are not always reliable. If you have a correct sense of distance, you can keep correcting your pace in walking, and you can not get lost. Genosis said.

Field's eyes narrowed, but there was a burst of admiration in his heart. This is no longer a kind of cleverness, but a kind of wisdom.

"The correct answer is three thousand one hundred and forty-one meters," Field said. You're barely right. However, a qualified knight should be controlled within one meter of error!"

Genosis fell into deep thought.

The knight recruits behind Field also seemed to be lost in thought.

Field thought for a moment, then shouted to a knight who looked like a recruit who was practicing on the side, "Bruce, come here." ”

"To. ”

A slightly immature voice rang out in the queue. Bruce then stepped out of the ranks and came to the front of Field.

Field said to Geneosis, "Beat him!"

"Uh......?!"

"I'll let you beat him! Bruce, you defend. ”

But Generosis had never learned anything about armless combat, or knightly combat, and with a very slow pace, Generosis threw a straight punch at Bruce one by one.

However, after all, Untrained or untrained Genosis was blocked by Bruce's backhand and couldn't move.

There seemed something strange in Field's eyes, but it was by no means expression, and then he said, "Stop." ”

Bruce let go of his hand and gave a knightly salute to Genossis.

Generosis and Blake had never learned the basic etiquette of knighthood at all, and Generosis could only roughly imitate the movements and return the salute.

Field asked, "When did you start studying and practicing as a knight?"

Blake nodded his finger and said, "Uh...... Half a year ago. ”

Blake counted the first day they saw Veltis and Esya. Actually, it should be based on the fact that they have undergone a light element affinity test.

In other words, it was only three months. And during this time, they learned nothing but running.

Not even the basic rules and etiquette of a knight.

Although Veltis had learned, he didn't think that these "breaking rules" were of any use, and he forgot to teach them both for a while.

And this time, I put the two of them here, probably because I want them to learn these basic rules and basic etiquette quickly.

"Half a year?"

The crowd was in an uproar. After all, it's a new recruit, and you'll always make a fuss when you encounter something unthinkable.

Field roared, "That's what Thompson taught you, why do you want to go, run, run me five laps!"

Of course, this is just Field's anger and intimidating the little boys, after all, they are usually all tired and lying down by the end of the third lap. Don't forget that this is a lap of more than 3,000 meters.

When everyone was about to run together, Field looked at the stunned Genosis and Blake, and said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze?

Bruce was at the end of the line, and Generosis and Blake quickly followed, Bruce deliberately slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Are you two really trainee knights?"

"Yes, we're apprentice knights!"
