Chapter 95: Right Decision
"I have to say, this is pretty sweet. I certainly had plenty of doubts at first, but those are all but gone now," Grinned Celia, as she slumped back in her seat with a relaxed look on her face.
"Yeah, at this point, I think it’s safe to say we made the right decision. These last three months have been great, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this at ease walking out in the open like this," Nodded Raven in agreement.
"Yeah, that’s for sure. Not gonna lie, though, I kinda miss our hideout," Remarked Ravella with a wry smile.
It was the 20th of March, 1919, a little over three months had passed since The Irregulars were pardoned and agreed to join the Knight Order.
Following that, all seven of them had been offered high-ranked spots in the various Knight Squads, but after discussing it amongst themselves, they insisted that they all be put in the same squad.
They were then put into the Third Squad, where most of the remaining previous members had been killed by the Undead King’s forces, after all their highest ranked Knights had already been eliminated by The Irregulars, and the majority of the handful that were left after the battle against the Undead King had been arrested by the Inquisitors.
Aster had been chosen to be the Captain of the Third Squad, but none of the others wanted the position of Vice-Captain since they didn’t want the extra responsibility that would come with the position, so they ended up drawing straws to decide.
And Raven ended up drawing the short straw, so he was elected as the Third Squad’s Vice-Captain. The other five, by default, ended up as First-Class Knights.
They were put in charge of the same locations that were already under the Third Squad’s jurisdiction; Garnet City, Opal Town and Amber Village.
Those three locations also happened to be the regions most rife with corruption, thanks to the previous members of Third Squad both enabling and actively participating in said corruption.
But after they took over, The Irregulars proceeded to stamp out the remaining traces of corruption in those locations, and since they were no longer criminals and could act freely, they were able to do so in no time at all.
