"Arcs... is there anything wrong?" Eleanore asks with a worried expression. Since earlier, she's been checking whether her appearance is in order so persistently it could be called excessive. Even she must be nervous after all. "Yes, there's absolutely no problem. It suits you very well, you know?" "Wha...! ...Again, saying such things..." She withdrew muttering while her ears turned red. After being a butler for five years, flattery comes naturally. Well, but this isn't flattery or…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
'───────────────' '──────────' '────────────────────' Inside my head, someone's voice echoes. Sweet, sticky, a voice that weaves between thoughts and binds them distortedly. If I relax and listen to it, there's a sense that my consciousness will sink endlessly. ...Huh, what was I doing again? Um... I can't really remember. The peculiar lethargy of having slept for a long time is blocking my…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
……… …… … "A-Arcs-kun!" "Um, Arcs-san... hello" When the exam ended and I left the arena and made it to the school gate, two voices called out my name. They were none other than Emma and Erett. "Ah, good work to both of you. Why are you here?" "We were waiting for you, Arcs-kun!" Emma came running over to me with quick steps... grabbed both my hands tightly, and showed a smile that bloomed like flowers. I was startled by the sudden close approach, but well, I didn't…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"We will now begin the knight cooperative exam between Squad 8 and Squad 27." Finally, this moment has arrived. In the arena where wooden fences, fake building structures resembling houses, and barrels are haphazardly placed, Emma, Erett, and I stand side by side. This is probably a battlefield simulating urban warfare. The location for combat in this exam is randomized. It's about seeing how you can move in sudden combat situations. And apparently the matchings are also completely…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"Um... my name is Erett. For this test... let's do our best, okay?" "Yeah yeah! Let's work hard together!!" Not long after I entered the room, another member also came into the room. Not a name I recognized. Probably a character who didn't appear in the main story. Until now, when meeting people, I hadn't really thought much about whether they were mob characters or not, but this time such a filter was unavoidably placed in my thoughts. All of this was caused by the girl enthusiastically…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
I stood there watched by many people. Behind me were the other examinees. At the edge of my vision were the exam proctors. Whether sporting beards, wearing monocles, or dressed alluringly, these people of various varieties all uniformly glared at me with appraising eyes. Yeah, this is definitely making me nervous. "Examinee number..., Arcs Fort. Please begin your examination." However, without time to settle my nerves, the exam proctor announced the start signal. Well, having come this…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
"All these people here are examinees, right..." "That's right. As expected of a prestigious school that gathers people from around the world." "...I didn't know there were this many people in the world." The carriage stopped, and what jumped into our view as we disembarked was a flow of people coming and going like a muddy torrent. Eleanore was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. While Egenhardt was by no means a small town, it rarely gathered a population of this…- 94.5 K • Ongoing

Outside the window, a crescent moon shone in the night sky. I was in Eleanore's room. Lately, during this time of day, I always visited her. A man and woman of marriageable age alone together in a room at night—that's pretty dangerous, isn't it? That's what I think when I calm down and consider it. I'm surprised my father-in-law Adalbert allows this. Does it mean he trusts me that much? No, wait—is it possible he doesn't even know? Coming here is always at Eleanore's own…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
In the arena, a mock battle facility attached to the private training grounds of Egenhardt. On this battlefield with no obstacles, only a vast area set up, two swordsmen face each other. One is clad in the armor of the Anciness family knight order, while the other is lightly equipped with only a chest plate as notable protection. The swords they possess also show a clear difference—one is a fine sword issued to knights, the other is a plain stone sword, well-made but crude. An obvious disparity…- 94.5 K • Ongoing
