Last week, the Academy’s Martial Arts Tournament, in which the Principal of the Academy suddenly asked me to participate, ended with Kurena winning and then losing badly to the Master Swordsman Doberg.
Revenge against Doberg in the next year’s Academy Martial Arts Tournament is Kurena’s goal for the next year. I think we ended up with a good result, with more motivation than ever before to raise our level and improve our equipment in the future.
I wonder if the reason Doberg is fighting the winners of the Academy is to make them know the difference between them and to make them lose their arrogance. After graduation, students go to the battlefield. It would be a shame if they were to do something reckless on the battlefield because of their ego from winning, and that would lead to the death of not only the student but the entire unit.
I’m sure that the Academy Martial Arts Tournament and the match with a Master Swordsman is held in the Academy Cities of every country.
Afterwards, the tournament’s ceremony was held in a hall-like area of the Academy.
The 16 students who qualified for the Final Round of the tournament were also invited to the ceremony where Nobles and guests from various countries who came to observe the tournament were present. Viscount Granvelle also participated as a Noble who observed the event.
As a representative of the contestants, Kurena received a congratulatory letter from the Crown Prince. There were no particular gold seals, trophies, or certificates in the ceremony.
I, of course, was not present at this ceremony, but I snuck in via G-rank Bird Chappy inside Kurena’s pocket.
The Crown Prince said to her, “You have fought well. From now on, you may wield your sword for the Kingdom.” She replied “Yes!” in a voice that echoed throughout the hall. I didn’t see the Crown Prince’s face, but he might have been quite taken aback by the buzzing around him.
After the ceremony we returned to the base. Since there was a ceremony, it was now late at night.
The Viscount was sitting at a table in the living room that is usually used as a dining room. In front of the Viscount was Kiel. Next to him was his younger sister, Nina.
The Viscount came to the base to fulfill another purpose.
Kurena, Cecile, Dogora and I were also sitting at the same table and looking.
“So you’re Kiel. Well, you have a vague resemblance to Viscount Carnell.”
“…Yes.”
Kiel replied, a little nervously.
The man sitting in front of him is the Viscount who caused the Carnell Family’s downfall. His father’s actions may have been outrageous and not right by anyone’s standards, but that doesn’t change the fact that his house was destroyed. As the next head of the Family, he desperately tried to act tough in front of the Viscount.
“Hmm, don’t be so uptight. I brought you this today.”
The Viscount sighed, wondering if he could blame Kiel for his condition. With those words, the Knight Commander behind the Viscount walked over to Kiel and unfolded a rolled up piece of parchment and placed it on the table.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a contract. It’s already signed by His Majesty the King.”
Kiel, Cecile and Dogora, who were looking into the situation together, muttered quietly, “A contract.” Only Kurena listened to the story, saying, “Hohoho.”
Kiel began to read the contract.
It contained the conditions for Kiel to restore the Carnell Family.
