Episode 33

That day, a particular barrack for newcomers in one corner of the headquarters of the Saint Kings chivalric order was engrossed in a certain topic. The origin of the matter was the notification sent to the whole of the chivalric order a few days back. The contents were that a new person that had enlisted would come. Although enlistments that happened in the middle, without going through the open recruitment examination conducted every year, were certainly less, there was no need to make any special fuss about it.

Then the reason as to why it had become a hot topic was because the age of the one who had enlisted in the middle was far below the originally stipulated age. Since it was a boy of 13 years old. It was the enlistment of the youngest person since the establishment of the chivalric order. That itself wasnt a lacking subject, but since he had single-handedly defeated a few dozen senior knights during the enlistment examination, their curiosity about exactly what kind of person he was, was never-ending.

The newcomers of the same term who filled the barracks of the 94th term were especially noisy. The ones who were the most noisy were the members of the 7th squad of the 94th term who were to live together with the boy.

Say, if that newbie is a guy like in the rumors, what to do?

The leader of the 7th squad, Isaac, while fidgeting nervously, asked that question to his squad members.

That again? The contents of the rumor are all unbelievable, and I think that it is a bit too far-fetched.......

But it seems the part about him beating up many of the seniors is true, so at the very least, he might not be ordinary

A brawny guy with a height of more than 2 meters and he clobbers his opponents without even using any weapons while none of the attacks work on him.......... was it? I dont have the confidence to work with a monster like that

Actually, there are people who believe that he is a ghost formed from the collective grudge of the knights who died on the battlefield. Thats why attacks dont work, it seems

Impossible........... right?

The words that were successively coming out of their mouths were the indication of anxiety they were feeling. This was because from the past few days, the rumors regarding the newbie were too unreal. The contents were things that should have been laughed off, but they couldnt do so because there was some authenticity. But the things like him being a ghost were too crazy.

Therefore, lately whenever they were free they would express their respective speculations, about how he was like this or that, about the identity of the newbie. But that too would end today. Since the newbie, who was the center of topic, was going to come here today.

At that time, suddenly, without even a knock, the doorknob was pulled. The fours gazes simultaneously concentrated on the door. While raising an old-fashioned creaking sound, the door gradually opened. And then, the one who appeared from the other side was

Excuse me for a bit. Are all of you here?

It was a man with unkempt hair, which extended until the nape of his neck, and an unshaven beard. They didnt know about the man since it had only been a few months since their enlistment, but recognizing that he was a superior officer by looking at the arm band on his shoulder, they took a posture of saluting him.

Yeah, yeah, good work. Ive only just brought the thing to be delivered, so Ill lea
