A Knight's Goal
Glow Lash!
She didn't...
Hmm...
This guy
just laughs while he dodges my attacks.
Who is he?
He sickens me.
He fights at such an amazing level...
Incredicle! Haha!
But, your sword will never be able to hurt me.
My sword can cut anything!
Your eyes are beautiful.
They're like emeralds from the sea.
What are you talking about?
Instead of attacking blindly,
you should also work on your coordination.
Go away!
Go away! Go away!
Do you really mean that?
Yes, I really mean it!
That's enough.
It's clear who the better fighter is.
As a knight, you must acknowledge your defeat,
Priecia-kun.
But...
Schoolmaster...
Now then.
Thank you, you saved me.
I'd like to ask you for a favour.
You won your debut match flawlessly.
Will you take an oath as the new student representative in the academy?
Debut?
Those who have prevailed in every challenge must give a speech.
Is there anyone who is more qualified than
you for the student representative position?
I think not.
What do you mean? I mean...
What is this oath?
That is a good question.
Those who wish to become a knight must take an oath.
They must pledge to endure during the most difficult of times.
It is the greatest honour for a first year.
You are willing to take this position, right?
I couldn't...
Attention all first years and upper years!
The new first year representative will now provide his speech of oath!
Now, Hyaweh-kun.
Give your speech!
I can't believe that guy got the position.
I'll never accept this.
But he is kinda cool...
But seriously, I feel bad for Priecia-sama.
Tripping over a wooden dummy, that was horrible.
You girls are analyzing this way too much...
or, maybe a little bit, just a little.
No...
forcing her into the corner was all part of his strategy.
There's no way he could've done that!
Yay for our hero! Show them how it's done!
Go ahead, give your first speech.
Um... er...
What's this?
It's a special prism microphone for your speech.
Speak loudly.
What should I say?
Anything will do.
Speak out from your heart and you will inspire the students.
Don't be nervous.
I can't do that, can't you just tell me what to say?
Good luck!
Waah, wait for a second!
Ow ow ow ow...
Nice job!
Eh heh, I'm sorry.
You know that
I'm of the Temple Knight Brigade,
Pegasus Division, Drill Sergeant
Mibu Karin, and you disgrace me in front of all these people!
No, um, that wasn't on purpose.
Unforgivable!
You will face my Kikuichi-monji's sword,
and become its rust!
W-Wait, wait!
Don't try to escape!
Any normal person would try to escape...
Um, can't we just stop and talk about this?
No more excuses!
I thought a teacher's job
was to listen to their students.
I will not listen.
Prepare yourself!
School really is a scary place...
So those are your last words...
Wait, don't!
Huh?
You have a pretty bad life.
That's not good,
you're not wearing your hakama.
What did you say?
I would be embarrassed if I were you.
You don't need to thank me,
I'm just doing my duty as a knight.
A boy like you...
Not good...
Unforgivable!
Rising Sword Technique
Shouryusa!
Such grace... such dignity...
and her disdainful attitude...
you can't help but refer to her with 'sama'.
Priecia-sama must be the princess, yes.
However, the princess should be the strongest warrior in the kingdom.
I guess that still leaves some doubt, yes.
I just don't understand.
God, tell me the truth.
What, what, what?
What truth?
Maybe Priecia-sama lost on purpose.
Why? Why? Why?
To hide her true identity, yes.
But... Why? Why? Why?
Bridget-chan?
That's because...
Er...
Where did you pop out from!?
It hurts...
You! The girl who thought I was Priecia-sama!
Eh heh heh, sorry about that.
I might look intelligent sometimes,
but I�m actually kinda dopey.
Um...
Why were you eavesdropping on me?
Do you have something against me? Yes?
What are you talking about, Bridget-chan?
We're roommates.
Fel...
..san.
Well, anyways, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance,
Bridget-chan.
I-It's a pleasure, yes!
It seems that she didn't hear what I was saying earlier.
Praise God!
By the way, it seems you've taken an interest in Priecia too, right?
Ah ha! She heard what I said after all.
Not good, this is definitely not good.
Well, that's understandable.
She's beautiful and amazing.
Did you know that she lives in the castle?
She must be a princess.
I have royalty as a classmate!
I heard that Drill Sergeant Karin is a member of Temple-Ritter.
Isn't this school amazing?
Temple-Ritter?
You didn't know?
Bridget-chan doesn't know much about it, huh?
Ah...
The Temple-Ritter were
Viera's strongest warriors.
They were members of the Temple Knight Bridgade.
Each one was a master swordsman who could easily take down ten enemies.
Drill Sergeant Karin was assigned to teach swordplay here.
I heard she was too strict and someone got injured during class.
Ah...
Why does everyone in this school have to be so skilled?
There's no way I can match them.
Fel-san?
So depressing...
Um... Um...
I'm not that great either, but I'm still giving it my best.
So you should cheer up, yes.
You're right!
I should try my best no matter what.
Bridget-chan is a really good person.
Thank goodness.
It would have been horrible if my roommate was a bad person.
Since we're talking about school life, we should talk about boys too.
I'm interested in the boy who defeated Priecia.
Bridget-chan, what do you think?
Eh?
Didn't he save you?
His name was...
Hyaweh-kun, yes.
How did you remember his name?
Ah, could it be Bridget-chan
has a crush on him?
No, not really.
Oh come on, now.
He's a great swordsman... but, who is he? Alright! We'll be great roommates!
one day, I'll make him pay.
Ow!
That really hurt.
School...
really is scary.
Are you still mad at me?
You better watch out, you better watch out...
You really should watch out!
Who are you?
You should be more worried about yourself than me,
someone is out to get you.
you can tell by the traps that they...
Wha - let go, let go!
But they're like bike handles.
They're not bike handles, they're my ears!
Sorry, sorry.
It hurts.
Why did I have to get hit by that bell too?
Anyways, time for food.
Bridget-chan, you really like sweets potatoes don't you?
No, it's just I have to eat them...
I mean.. I like them, I like them a lot, yes!
The fact that they're bitter
makes them more delicious, yes.
Sweet potatoes are a girl's best friend.
When I feel like it, I can eat ten or twenty!
Is it okay if I sit here?
No.
Don't be so mean.
We should just forget about everything,
and start over.
You think it's over?
The battle has not yet been settled!
I didn't mean to challenge you like that...
Didn't mean to challenge you by that?
Do not underestimate me!
I will not let you insult me!
That bastard!
We did all that for nothing.
It seems that we have been underestimating him.
Massie, we should execute our ultimate plan!
Our combination attack in front of the school
would be amazing, wouldn't it?
We should stop this...
No, we won't!
Okay...
Priecia-sama.
We, your loyal soldiers,
are here to help Priecia-sama.
We have formed a group.
Priecia-sama's safety,
is something that we are duty-bound to protect.
First:
To protect Priecia-sama from all men who try to come near!
Second:
To protect Priecia-sama's best interests!
Third:
At least once every day,
we are to show our undying love for Priecia-sama.
Do not worry,
Priecia-sama.
We will ensure that strange boy,
won't bother Priecie-sama any longer.
I am warning you.
If you value your life,
do not come near to me ever again.
As expected from a princess!
She's so cool!
But that was kinda scary...
That's fine with us!
One lunch just isn't filling.
Alright,
it won't matter if I skip class and eat some more.
I'm going to be late!
Ow!
I need to pick these up.
I didn't make it in time.
What's wrong?
C'mon, you should stop crying.
Could it be... you got separated from your mother?
Mother?
Seperated from he?
I'll help you look for her.
Here, let me wipe off your tears.
There's nothing to worry about,
I was going to skip my next class anyway.
Would that be Litte-sensei's weekly ranking class?
That's amazing.
I wonder how a little kid like you knew that.
I'm not a little kid!
Um, young girl.
I'm not a young girl!
Huh?
I'm a teacher.
I'm Litte Ratus,
the teacher of your Pegasus class,
Hyaweh-kun.
You know who I am?
Of course.
After all, I am your teacher.
Oh, I see.
Oh I see nothing!
You were planning on skipping out of classes weren't you?
Yes, well, I was feeling a bit hungry...
Unforgivable!
Such a poor student should receive...
a severe punishment!
School...
It appears that the cumulative damage is affecting him.
That's called Knowing Your Enemy!
We should stop.
Priecia-sama
said we shouldn't disturb her if we valued our lives.
You don't get the point Orthy.
Really?
She was testing us.
She wanted to see if we would risk our lives for her!
That's kind of scary...
We cannot give up when she tests us.
We must be prepared to risk our lives.
Priecia-sama will see that we are worthy servants!
My heart is pounding...
We shall unleash our technique!
We will annihilate that idiot!
Annihilate!
I wonder if I should have some bread or rice tonight.
Meet us in the forest. You will receive divine retribution.
Signed, The Soldiers of Preicia-sama.
What is this?
H-H-H-He's here.
Let's carry out our plan.
Just leave it to me.
Huh?
No one's here.
Get him!
I'm sorry!
Dodged!
My aim was off.
Impressive, he's more powerful than a normal person.
Uh...
Why are you guys doing this?
It's too bad you can't see the big picture.
The bathtub, the guillotine, and the bell...
But it can't be... you were...
They were all cursed by us!
I did the guillotine...
We did everything for Priecia-sama's sake.
For Priecia?
Massie, Orthy,
use the Maiden-Hurricane attack!
Maiden-Hurricane?
Here we go.
Oh crap.
The second most beautiful face in the kingdom...
He just stepped on it!
I'm truly sorry about this!
Priecia-sama!
I've already told you,
leave us alone.
But...
Do you want me to take your lives?
Stop it, they're your friends aren't they?
They are not my friends.
Glow La...
Now they won't bother us again.
Priecia...
You shouldn't bother me either.
Why?
Because it will end up like this!
Yeah, no kidding.
They still haven't learned not to approach the castle.
Do you know who these guys are?
They're ninja. They are weak, but persistent.
What are ninja doing here?
Who knows.
They don't speak much.
Glow Lash!
There's too many of them!
Leave this to me.
What do you want with us?
Our leader didn't say.
we had to take you back alive!
Let's go!
Who was that?
Wha?
Um...
Aira-taichou...
I don't think interfering anymore is a good idea.
Orthy, what are you-
That is true,
but I swore I would protect Priecia-sama.
No, despite her threats to my life...
But don't you remember when Priecia-sama told us to stay away?
Eh?
Next time:
A Knight's Pride.
Hyaweh-sama continues his adventure.
Orthy!
