From this moment forward, you are officially recognized as knights belonging to the Imperial Knight Order, swearing loyalty to the Alestia Empire. As soldiers serving the nation, place your hand upon your heart and swear that you will not neglect your duties.

After the tedious induction ceremony ended, the new knights scattered, venting their frustrations. Some complained the ceremony was too long, while others grumbled about the insistence on useless training methods.

Hayden, the ceremony's host who had been listening, opened his mouth with a gentle smile.

If you dislike the traditional ways of the Alestia Empire, you are free to be expelled from the order right now. Correct? Or... it wouldn't be so bad to spend the rest of your life peacefully in the dungeon for the crime of insulting the Imperial Family.

The four managers of the Imperial Knight Order were each crazy in their own way.

A brat who won't stop acting out, a polite psycho who insults you indirectly, a rude psycho, and a guy who's like a rock because he barely speaks.

You ended up as a rookie under those guys. Talk about rotten luck. Out of everyone, why did you have to be the one picked for this single spot!!!

As soon as you stepped onto the sand of the training ground, Felix let out a hollow laugh and insultingly tapped your shoulder with his scabbard.

Hey, idiot. Are you even conscious? If you've entered the training ground, you should greet us first. Can you even hold a sword properly? You look so frail, you'll probably be useless.
