"Lando, Lando, get up quickly, you're going to be late!" There was a banging on the door.
The person coming was Kak, the son of a certain steward in the castle. He was about the same age as Lando and was one of his few friends.
"Kak, it's still early for training. Have you seen the daylight outside?" Lando complained helplessly as he opened the door.
"Lando, Baron Moria will come to visit us today. At this time, of course we have to rush to the training ground in advance." Kak pulled Lando and ran away with an anxious look on his face.
"ok, ok, I got it."
When the two arrived at the training ground, there were already many people inside. Everyone looked envious when they saw Lando arriving.
Because he has no intention of keeping a low profile, Lando's performance and progress have always been the first among everyone, and he is particularly favored by their instructor, Mike Knight.
Now that he is here, Lando is not ready to be lazy and starts practicing basic swordsmanship after warming up.
Basic swordsmanship is a compulsory course on the road to knighthood. If you cannot master basic swordsmanship, you will never be able to become a true knight.
This is a sentence that their instructor, Mike Knight, often talks about.
As time went by, the sky gradually became brighter. Mike Knight came to the training ground and saw this scene, and nodded with satisfaction.
When today's training was about to end, Mike Knight looked at the door of the training ground, and then there was the sound of noisy footsteps.
A group of people entered the training ground. The leader was a handsome middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous robe. He was Baron Vasily Moria.
As an illegitimate son, Lando could recognize the baron at a glance even though he had never met him a few times.
Baron Moria first nodded to Mike. After bowing and retreating, he looked around at all the teenagers present, and paused specifically when he looked at Lando.
Lando looked very excited, and there were all kinds of envious and jealous looks around him.
"Children, I have been paying attention to you. You are all excellent and outstanding. You are the future of the territory. I hope that more knights will be born among you, so that our territory will develop and grow. Only by expelling barbarians and monsters can we
In this way, in the future, you will have your own territory..."
What he said made the young men below all excited. They wanted to go out immediately to expand the territory for the Baron and make meritorious deeds so that they could get rewards from the territory.
"..." Lando also looked excited.
"I specially prepared some good things for you this time, but because this thing is too precious, there is only one copy, and only those who need it most can get it."
As he spoke, he took out a small box, opened it, and revealed a tube of potion: "This is a body-building potion. It is made of precious materials and made by master alchemists. It can greatly increase a person's physical strength."
"Wow~"
"Is this the legendary potion? It's so magical!"
"Strengthening potion. Legend has it that only nobles can use it."
"Is this for us?"
Mike Knight coughed and interrupted the discussion below. Baron Moria always had a smile on his face and said in a very easy-going way: "Then whoever wants it, please come forward."
Hearing this, Lando walked out of the crowd without hesitation. At the same time, two more people stood up. The teenagers in the crowd who were about to move all retreated when they saw these three people.
In addition to Lando, the other two people are Amber and Mal, both of whom are the best in this batch.
Seeing that the Baron was not talking, Knight Mike immediately stood up and said: "Since you all want it, let's have a test and let the Baron see your abilities. Amber, Mal, you come first."
Lando, who received preferential treatment, naturally had no objection and simply stepped aside. The fight between the two teenagers was not flashy at all, but it was obvious that their basic skills were extremely solid and they were also quite proficient in basic swordsmanship.
In the end, Mal defeated Amber by a slight margin. Seeing the baron's admiring eyes, Mal felt extremely excited.
Mike saw that Mal's current state was not so extreme that he and Lando immediately started competing. While letting him take a rest first, he began to comment on his shortcomings in the battle in the name of guidance.
"...If you can get rid of these little problems, there will be endless benefits in the future whether it is training or fighting."
"Yes, thank you Mike Knight for your advice. I will definitely work harder to become a knight as soon as possible and serve the lord!" Mal said loudly with tears in his eyes.
Lando looked at Mal's performance and looked at the envious eyes of the young man below. After all, Mike Knight's special guidance was not always available. He only felt that this favoritism was too obvious.
"Then you start."
The battle between Lando and Mal began. He looked at the latter's various flaws, many of which were pointed out by Mike just now. After all, the habit of long-term training cannot be changed, and some of them were seen by him himself.
, he didn’t know whether Mike Knight didn’t see this or didn’t say it on purpose.
In the end, Lando decided to win in a more shocking way, so as to make him appear more valuable.
After blocking a blow, Lando retreated slightly and shouted: "I'm going to be serious!"
Then he showed far greater speed and strength than before. The first blow knocked Marl staggering, and the second blow knocked the weapon from his hand away.
Mal sat down on the ground and looked at the tall figure in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
"The peak of trainee knights? Lando, your progress is really amazing. You are indeed... the best knight trainee in this batch." Instructor Mike sighed.
Listening to the discussion below, Lando pretended to be very casual. Of course, this was all for the Baron to see.
The so-called trainee knight can be called a trainee knight as long as he starts training as a knight, but not just anyone can be called a trainee knight at the peak of the knight's peak. Only those trainee knights whose physical fitness reaches the minimum standard for promotion to a knight can be crowned.
Known as the pinnacle.
I recited the system silently and glanced at the number of soul essences, 143 remained unchanged.
'Hey~ not really.'
Lando had long wanted to find an opportunity to make a big splash to see if it would increase the soul quality. He just happened to catch it today, but the result still didn't work.
After everyone dispersed.
"Lord Baron, this kid Lando is really good. Not only is he talented, but he also works hard. He is indeed the inheritor of an excellent bloodline." Mike complimented with a smile.
"Well, it's not bad." Baron Moria also looked in a good mood: "Since his talent is pretty good, you can give him more care in the future."
