94. Knight Evaluation Exhibition (3)

Knights from all over the capital gathered to receive evaluation.

They headed to the villa, the first evaluation site, on time.

Is it because the princesses themselves participated as judges this year?

The knights were quite excited to show off their skills in front of the royal family.

It was the same for the senior who was heading to the villa with me.

“Whoa….”

She is standing next to me.

Miya, dressed in her navy blue uniform and short skirt, placed her hand on her chest.

And then, she continued to take deep breaths to calm her mind.

“Why are you so nervous?”

I yawned and stretched.

Miya looked at me with strange eyes, like her cat.

“What…?” Are you quite relaxed?”

“It is an evaluation for the first half of the year anyway. Even if your score is low, it’s not a big problem.”

The senior looked at me and clicked her tongue.

“That would be good-. “Because I have a complete civil servant mentality.”

She sighs deeply.

She looks quite anxious.

Well, it’s worth it.

For Miya, a fallen noble, it is very important to be highly evaluated by the royal family.

Through high scores, you will want to move her affiliation to the imperial family and establish a family.

“The first evaluation was mana management, right?”

“Yes, you don’t have to worry too much.”

I glanced down at my nervous senior.

And then, she stared at the solid mana gathered in the center of her chest.

“With her senior skills, she will be evaluated well enough.”

Is it because she has been so involved with the princesses recently that she has been unable to pay attention?

There were many changes in my senior as well.

Mana has become stronger than when I first saw her, probably because she has been working hard all this time.

At this level, she would almost be able to reach Intermediate Expert level.

“Really?”

“Of course. “You’ve grown a lot stronger while we’ve never seen each other, right?”

She smiled and patted her senior on the shoulder.

Then, as if she had gained courage, she closed her eyes and lifted her face upright.

“Of course. “She devoted herself to her training in every spare moment.”

When you praise her, she is like a black cat whose spirit has gained momentum.

Her I entered her villa with her proudly leading the way.

‘Is this the first time since the knighthood ceremony? ‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’

The interior where all desks and chairs were removed for the exam.

It is spacious, as if you are looking at a huge ballroom.

There were many knights gathered there.

From imperial knights to eastern knights.

Many powerful people in the capital gathered together.

‘A total of 20 people?’

I quietly observed the various drivers who were taking the exam together.

Everyone has pretty solid mana, but as expected, there are many who have only increased their size with elixirs and luck.

In other words, although the muscles are large, they are soft and cannot actually lift weight.

At least the eastern knights have improved through the Tau trained by me.

I was looking at them happily.

I suddenly felt an unpleasant gaze and turned my head.

The owners of the gaze are the imperial knights and the knights of the red flame.

They had an arrogant look on their faces, as if they didn’t want to be tested like those belonging to the Subangsa.

“Has Subangsa also come?”

“Well, I don’t know if we’re being undervalued for no reason.”

Is it because the lazy Subangsa seniors have been revealed recently through Camilla?

Our image has also deteriorated considerably.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

After seeing Miya today, those prejudices will completely disappear.

However, contrary to my guess, Miya seemed very nervous.

“Ugh… What about the veil?”

Miya asked me, holding both her hands tightly.

With a very worried expression.

“Is there any problem?”

‘There seems to be no problem with the body and mana.’

When I asked while tilting my head, Miya spoke in a trembling voice.

“Ooh, we’re the first row! “It would be so noticeable!”

‘Ah, was that the problem?’

“It’s an opportunity to get noticed by high-ranking people, just as my senior wanted.”

I put both hands on her shoulders, telling her not to worry.

And she gave me a gentle massage.

“Yes, but…” .”

The senior swallowed her saliva deeply.

And then, as if my massage was a bit off, I rubbed her tear spots with my fingers.

“The first judge was him….”

Just as she was about to continue her sentence.

The wooden door that had been tightly closed burst open.

Then, the air in the villa, which had been warm from the knights’ heat, turned cold.

The sound of hard military boots accompanied by that cold feeling.

 ̄ ̄ ̄.

The 1st princess with her back to her, holding a wand in her hand.

Leah appeared.

Damian, a staff member who would assist with the evaluation, also accompanied her.

Blue eyes sparkling beneath the uniform hat.

And, a tight-fitting white uniform and short skirt.

The stockings worn underneath come into view.

Miya looked at those stockings very intently.

“Hey, Veil.”

“Yes?”

“Lea, don’t you think you’re paying a bit more attention to your clothes these days?”

The senior asked me with a strange cat-like look in his eyes.

Her short hair also twitched as if she had her own personal touch.

“Well, I don’t know. “Isn’t it the same white uniform?”

I looked at Leah intently as she stopped in the center of the villa.

“Look. She usually only wore white stockings that matched her uniform….”

Miya said, pointing to Leah, who was standing with her back to her.

“Today, you came dressed in black, lace-covered clothes.”

I followed her and lowered my gaze slightly.

Black stockings that reached slightly above her knees.

It has a mature and sensual atmosphere.

Thanks to this, the thighs visible above the stockings stand out more.

“Are you dating these days?”

Miya smiled with an innocent face.

However, the laughter soon stopped.

The first princess’s eyes suddenly stopped on us.

She looked at me indifferently as she placed her hand on Miya’s shoulder.

Then, she immediately ignored it and opened her mouth in a cold voice.

“Nice to meet you, gentlemen. Lea Andalusiane was in charge of the first subject for the first half of the evaluation.”

After hearing her words, the knights all lowered their heads in unison.

Normally, they would have applauded, but since the opponent was a member of the royal family, they were even more respectful.

“As you know, I value efficient evaluation without pretense.”

The princess raised the wand she was holding behind her.

And she spoke with a cruel expression.

“So, this test will simply be an evaluation of physical strengthening using mana.”

Leah waved her wand in a circular motion into the air.

Then, little by little, a small wind began to rise….

The palace began to shake slightly due to the growing wind.

“The goal of the evaluation is to withstand my wishes. If you fall, you are eliminated. “Let’s proceed until there are a total of 5 people left.”

 ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄!!

The sound of the fierce wind struck the entire interior.

Thanks to this, the hair of the 20 people standing side by side shook like crazy.

“Ugh….”

The knights all began to cover their bodies with mana.

“What, what…?” ? “What is this ignorant evaluation method?!”

But, is it because they are experiencing a situation for the first time in their lives?

I was quite embarrassed by the evaluation, which was different from the sword sparring I had done so far.

And, this was all Leah’s intention.

If there is a wizard in the enemy army.

This situation is basic to counter the various natural magics they will cause.

The first princess looked pitifully at the shaking imperial knights.

“Huh… As expected, Princess Leia….”

Miya said with a scared expression.

However, while speaking, I began to concentrate my mind and strengthen my body.

She defends herself by spreading the blue light located in the center of her chest to her entire body.

It is standard and stable.

I watched it comfortably, still hiding my presence.

“Ugh… !!”

In the end, the two Knights of Crimson Flame, who had raised their mana with the elixir, fell to the ground first.

They were shaking and resenting Leah’s ignorant evaluation.

“Ugh….”

The imperial knights were the same.

One of the two knelt down first, and the other seemed to be having a hard time holding on.

With the number of people dropping out one after another.

Leah walked leisurely through the gale with her mature eyes.

‘Is he a wizard after all?’ .’

I was waiting alone in a resting position, hiding my mana.

I looked worriedly at Miya, who was shaking.

“Senior.”

“Uh, yeah… !”

Miya is holding on with her heavy breathing.

I looked at him and calmly gave him advice.

“Try to focus the mana that was concentrated on her whole body more on her lower body.”

“Ah, I understand… !”

Like a skilled knight, he follows what I say easily.

However, it is still not enough.

Leah’s wind magic becomes increasingly stronger.

This level of power is equivalent to that of a mid-level expert, that is, a 5-year experienced knight.

‘Why have the standards suddenly become so strict?’ ?’

I made eye contact with Leah who stopped walking in front of me.

The princess gently waved the wand and made the wind stronger in front of me.

Thanks to this, my uniform jacket flapped at an incredible speed.

The shirt she wore underneath shook so much that her collarbones were visible.

‘Wow… ! Why is this happening all of a sudden?

I furrowed my eyebrows.

Then, she looked at the mischievous first princess, hiding her mana as much as possible.

“Bail Mikhail.”

She held the wand to her lips and stared at me with strange eyes.

She spoke to me with a mischievous smile in her eyes.

“Now that I have a part of my body, I should show a better side of myself, right?”

Are you talking about lending mana at my house?

It’s so petty!

The princess stared at my fluttering collarbone.

Then I looked at my body as a whole….

He passed me by, smiling with a satisfied expression.

Leah next stopped in front of Miya.

Unlike when you look at me, your eyes are very cold.

“We’re spherical, right?”

Leah even speaks mischievously to Miya, who is already having a hard time.

Her appearance was quite worrying.

When the royal family speaks to you, you have to answer unconditionally.

“Yes, that’s right!”

Miya held firm and opened her mouth.

“It’s holding up well. “I wasn’t planning on letting anyone pass.”

Leah said as she looked at the villa where there were only 6 survivors left.

“This is easy. As a knight of the empire, I can endure as much as I want!”

Miya’s eyes sparkle amidst the flowing black hair.

Seeing that, Leah looked even colder.

“Hmm…. Is it so.”

Leah concentrated her mana on the tip of the wand.

Then, the wind grew stronger.

As a result, even the glass windows inside the villa began to shake.

If the wind is this strong, you would have to be a top expert to be able to defend against it.

“Let me show you that patriotism.”

I sighed at her extremely strict standards.

Then, she glanced at her aide, Damian, who was watching the situation with a worried expression.

‘Master, please stop!’

The man wearing her glasses nodded at her.

Then, defending her own body with her mana, she slowly approached the princess.

“I… Her Majesty Leah. “There are 5 people left.”

Leah narrowed her eyes as she listened to her advisor’s words.

Then, she stopped her magic with a disappointed expression.

 ̄ ̄ ̄.

Once the wind stopped, the villa became quiet again.

Only the sounds of fallen knights can be heard.

However, Miya is still standing strong.

“Ha….”

Her short hair is all matted, and she looks like a cat that has been struck by lightning.

Leah looked at Miya like that.

She then placed her hand on her shoulder and said.

“It was an impressive physical enhancement, Ms. Miya.”

“Thank you… ! Princess!”

Miya looked touched when the glorious princess’ hand touched her shoulder.

“I will keep an eye on it in the future.”

Leah passed her by with her indifferent eyes.

Then, she stepped back and finished her evaluation.

Group A. Only 5 out of 12 passed.

Out of 200 knights, only 80 survived Leah’s evaluation.

Miya glanced and turned her head.

And then, she looked at me and smiled broadly.

“Did you hear that, Veil? “The First Princess said she would keep an eye on me!”

A bright black cat.

I looked at her with pity.

“Senior, I don’t think that means anything good….”

For some reason, I feel like my senior will also suffer in the future because of me.

I glanced at Leah.

The princess’s gaze was directed towards me.

I followed her gaze and looked down at my body.

Then I soon realized.

She was looking under my baggy dress shirt.

She swallowed deeply and raised her head.

Then, unlike usual, I met Leah’s eyes, which had become greedy for something.

As if he wanted something from me.

“Seo, senior. Let’s go to the second evaluation center.”

I hurriedly pushed Miya’s back.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“No, I just want to get out quickly!”
