...It is indeed like a child playing house, unabashed nepotism.
Surprisingly, these knights stared straight at him and seemed to have no objection at all.
No... maybe I have an opinion, but I just didn't say it out loud.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain Ida Campbell's hostility to him.
It's not that Wayne underestimated His Highness the Prince and his classmates, but at their current age, they have a serious lack of social experience and have no management and organizational skills at all. At the end of the day, they are only at the management level of a class cadre.
These two people only had time to come over for a "review" after school. I am afraid that the one who really plays a coordinating role in the Knights has to be Ida Campbell, the other permanent deputy leader.
As a true training officer, I am already very upset at being overwhelmed by these two young direct superiors. I also know that the results of my efforts will be "instructed" by another completely amateur and younger child. It can be said that being unhappy is inevitable.
"Wayne, don't be shy, just tell me your opinions." Richard seemed to attach great importance to Wayne's opinions.
"What if I say that I also hope to join this knighthood and hold the position of deputy leader?" Wayne looked eager to try.
As expected, Ida Campbell could not restrain herself and immediately glared at him.
"Eh?"
The prince hesitated for a while, then said after careful consideration: "It's not impossible...it just has to pass the test."
"Thank you for your kindness, but let's forget it." Wayne smiled and said, "I was joking."
Gavin said coolly: "Maybe Winn is actually the type who likes to tell the truth through jokes."
Oh, he's very sharp.
Wayne smiled but said nothing.
Now Ida couldn't bear it anymore and jumped out: "Your Highness Richard, although Duke Wenche is famous outside, it does not mean that his son must also have excellent military talents, so please consider it carefully. "
Richard said with a straight face: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"...don't dare."
Looking at Ida's expression that she wanted to say but couldn't, it was like wearing a mask of pain.
Although Wayne found it funny, he still came to his rescue and said, "Actually, Mr. Knight Ida is not wrong. In fact, in my past life, I didn't do any research on troop formations."
He could understand why Richard preferred to speak to him.
If nothing else happens, Elliot Winche, as a powerful duke, must be an important force that His Royal Highness needs to win over.
This is also the main reason why Chris was able to enter into an engagement with Prince Richard, the heir apparent, in the original setting.
"Although I don't know much about it, I'm personally very curious about the way knights fight. If it's convenient, can you show it to me?" After finishing speaking, Wayne added, "Especially the kind with magic blessing. arms."
Richard immediately said: "Isn't it easy to want this? I just collected a very well-made magic weapon and gave it to you."
He asked the attendant to fetch his sword.
"Because there is no occasion to use it in school, and on the other hand, it can easily scare the girls, so I never brought it with me."
After a while, an extremely gorgeous sword was placed on a wooden tray and brought to Wayne respectfully by the attendant.
The scabbard is wrapped in the tough skin of some kind of animal, and is embellished with pure gold patterns and sparkling gems, but the size is obviously smaller than an ordinary long sword.
At a glance, you can tell that this sword has been specially optimized for easy handling by immature youths.
"Uh... it's too expensive." Wayne declined, "I just wanted to take a look out of curiosity. Just give me the most common standard magic weapon."
"Don't refuse, just think of it as a testimony of our friendship."
Hey, hey, I can't bear to do destructive experiments with it if you act like this. If it gets ruined by me, wouldn't it mean that your friends will die in a matter of minutes?
"Come on, give it a try."
Richard made a clearing for him.
"Let me fight Master Wen. I will use a defensive posture and attack directly." Without saying a word, Ida stood opposite Wen.
"Infuse your magic power into the sword, and then the magic power will be attached to the edge of the blade in the form of sword energy, and then you can swing it like an ordinary long sword." He said, "Be careful not to cut yourself, I believe you won't Such a stupid mistake would be made.”
"Hmm." Wayne closed his eyes.
After calming down, he felt it.
Many light spots were surrounding him, flying wildly in the darkness.
Every movement in his thoughts caused large spots of light to surge like waves, just like a whale parting the waves and swimming in the ocean.
"O earth elemental spirit floating in the universe, please lend me your power!"
As he let out a completely unnecessary and unreasonable shout, earth-yellow sword energy spurted out.
Everyone present widened their eyes and looked at the sword in Wayne's hand in astonishment, with no original decorative patterns visible at all.
"This is... a lightsaber?!"
To the naked eye, some light spots like floating dust can be seen wrapping around the sword body, and the entire sword emits an extremely bright light.
Wayne waved twice subconsciously.
Ida on the other side was startled, and instantly broke out of her stunned and weak state. She rolled on the ground twice at lightning speed and escaped from where she was originally standing.
A light blade flew past him, breaking a huge hole in the solid ground.
"...Sorry, my hands are shaking."
Wayne stopped the infusion of magic power.
The attached sword energy disappeared immediately, and it returned to its previous state of jeweled ornamental art.
There was silence.
"Pah. Pah. Pah—"
For some reason, Gavin Warren clapped, and other knights watching the show also followed suit.
Soon there was thunderous applause in the courtyard, as if there was some kind of commendation meeting.
His Royal Highness seemed to be relieved: "So Wayne, your magic power is so deep, why didn't you tell me earlier."
It seemed like he was reproaching, but his tone was very friendly.
"Is it very profound? Actually, I don't know very well. I just poured all the magic power into it, hahaha..."
lie.
In fact, it only used less than 10% of the magic power.
Wayne silently gave himself a hundred points for pretending.
Ida stood up in disgrace, pursed her lips twice, and finally said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm so ignorant of current affairs. Before, I had a preconceived bad impression of Mr. Wayne because of some rumors, so I was offended. you."
There is no way, people are under the eaves, they have to lower their heads, and they cannot let their personal emotions spoil His Highness the Prince's plans.
What's more, the huge gap in the ground was like an eye, staring at him.
"Huh?" Richard asked doubtfully, "Have you met before?"
"It's just a small episode not worth mentioning."
Wayne didn't want to go into details, so the prince didn't ask any more questions.
After the review, led by Richard and accompanied by Gavin, Wayne visited His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion and stayed for a meal.
After eating and drinking (just juice of course), the three of them had a great time.
"I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person, Wayne. It's so late to meet you! You are welcome to come and play with me anytime next time."
Finally, Richard personally put him into the carriage and said goodbye.
Wayne waved to him and said goodbye, and walked far away. Looking back, he could still see his figure standing at the door and looking out.
