Chapter 5: The story of Lihan (2)
Yord Decker was a talented individual who had graduated at the top of the Academy's Swordsmanship Department.
Though he came from a minor knight family without a proper title, he prided himself on his swordsmanship, confident that it rivaled even that of noble-born knights.
The fact that he had graduated at the top of a department full of outstanding individuals was proof enough.
For this reason, Yord was proud of his swordsmanship and believed he could become the best in the kingdom's most prestigious knight order, the White Lion Knights.
‘There are plenty of formidable seniors, but none I can't surpass. In five years, no—two years, I'll surpass them all.’
Yord, with his strong ambition for success, had set his goal on becoming the vice-captain of the Third Division of the White Lion Knights, one of three divisions.
Of course, considering that the current captain of the Third Division was one of the kingdom's only three Aura Users, surpassing him was still a distant dream.
For now, his immediate goal was to become the vice-captain, which meant he needed to seize an opportunity to catch the captain’s eye.
‘Senior Lihan...’
That was when Yord’s gaze landed on a senior knight, whose name he wasn't sure was Lihan or Ihan.
He had heard that this senior had been a soldier but had caught the eye of the captain and been made a knight, and that he was considered something of an outsider even within the knight order.
To be honest, Yord had been puzzled when he first heard about him.
