Chapter 35
"Hey Lucky, I'm up first," Leo said with a grin as he stepped forward.
The Knight department's practical exam was straightforward - win five duels to pass.
However, victory wasn't the only factor in scoring as the opponent and the content of the duel could also affect the score.
Winning quickly was crucial, but Leo aimed to win all matches without losing.
"How lucky are you to be up against me first? I bet you don't even care," Leo's first opponent, Howl, said with a smirk.
Howl Nape came from a high family of heroes in the southern kingdom of Tul. Although their reputation was lower than Gerdinger's, they were still considered a famous hero family, known for their ever-changing spearman-ship, Nape Spear. Among the knight students in Class 1, Howl was the third most evaluated after Celia and Duran.
Howl flicked his tongue and pulled out a spear, a spear 1.5 times longer than the normal spear, from his subspace bracelet, while Leo drew his sword from his waist.
“As I said before, the side that renders the opponent unable to fight wins. Think of it as a real battle and engage in sparring.”
Ain briefly explained the rules before stepping back.
