Chapter 57: 15 year old Inglis and Chiral's Royal Knight Academy (7)
「Wheeze…wheeze…bleeergh, I’m feeling sick…. 」
After they arrived at the Dock running ahead from the batch, Lahti was at the end of his breath, his knee kissing the ground.
「Isn’t it good that you didn’t lose?」 「I was only dragged along, so it wasn’t by my power…. it was ridiculous.」 「You’ll get used to it if you keep experiencing it.」 「You meant to do it to me again!?」 「I’ll do it again if you want me to」 「Spare me, I’d die if you dragged me like that again…. But let me say my thanks. Thank you. I’m Lahti, nice to meet you.」 「Inglis. Nice to meet you too.」 「I’m not someone from this country, I come from Alucard.」
It was a country to the north of this kingdom of Charalia. The cold climate was harsh to live on, but they also had the advantage of relatively less occurrence of Prism Flow with their low precipitation rate. That didn’t mean that there was no Magic Stone Beast at all.
「Is that so? You’re an overseas student, then?」 「Yup, I am. You guys have it nice. It’s warm down here.」 「Yeah. That Pullum girl too?」 「Hm? Ah, her? Yeah, she’s from Alucard too.」 「So, you came here to learn to be her Squire, Lahti? Me too. I’m going to be the Squire for a girl named Rafinha Wilford.」 「Aah. That Holy-Knight’s-little-sister girl? Pullum and I aren’t exactly like that.」 「Is that so?」 「But I will learn how to steer Flygear, hone my skills, and contribute in the fight against those Magic Stone Beasts…! This place is the only place I can learn Flygear, so I came far only for that…! Okay, I’m done resting. My arms feel itchy, so let’s bring out those Flygears!」 「Yeah. Let’s.」
Inglis and Lahti asked a different instructor who was stationed at the Dock and received permission to access. They then brought their Flygears out and flew.
「Hell yeah! It’s free time until everyone’s here! Let’s fly as much as we want!」
Once he went on top of the lake, Lahti floored the pedal.
「Good idea!」
