Under the fluttering banners, there were guards who were in high spirits and were dressed neatly.
Today was the day of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment's reserve selection.
Originally, according to past practice, the reserve selection should be held on the third weekend after the beginning of spring.
However, due to the previous reserve selection, the Imperial Knight Captain was out on a mission for some reason, so it had to be delayed until the Imperial Knight Captain returned.
"Actually, you don't need to care if I can attend the reserve selection."
Ray Mingkai sighed helplessly as he walked to the aisle leading to the venue and nodded at the guards saluting on both sides.
To be honest, the Royal Guard Knight Regiment's staff led by Viretta seemed to be very concerned about whether Ray Mingkai could attend the reserve selection.
"No! Your Highness. If this was any other time, I, we would have made arrangements. However, this selection is very important for the Royal Guard Knight Regiment. "
Viretta, who was half a step behind Ray Mingkai, spoke with a serious expression on her face, as well as the thoughts of the entire staff.
"Is it because this is the first public selection of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment?"
In fact, the selection of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment had been held at least three times.
However, the first three selections were conducted by the staff led by Viretta. The qualified personnel were transferred to an unknown valley deep in the Empire's territory, allowing Qiligu, Fiana, and Titania to conduct further training.
There were no major problems with this process.
Even if there were some casualties under Qiligu and the other two's training, it was still within an acceptable range.
Moreover, with the support of the powerful medical technology provided by the City of Starlight, the number of deaths during the training had always been above one.
Now that he thought about it, it might have been an unfortunate thing.
Due to an operational error, the reserve member was blown back to the atomic state on the spot.
Recalling some details in the report, Ray Mingkai could not help but sigh.
"Yes. The first three closed selections have already enriched the core team of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment. Next, it's time to expand the selections. "
Hearing Ray Mingkai's sigh, Viretta knew what Ray Mingkai was thinking at the moment.
"So, there's an opportunity?"
While talking, the two had already reached the end of the road and stood in front of the gate of the selection venue.
Viretta looked up at the gate guarded by the Knight Regiment's Knight Regiment and nodded slightly.
"Yes. That's why there's such an opportunity. "
Ray Mingkai looked at the Knight who saluted him, nodded slightly and smiled.
"Then, we can't let's not make them wait!"
The busy maintenance team was circling around the mech that was about to participate in the Reserve Duty tryouts.
With less than half an hour left, these training-type Lionheart Knights, who were going to be used in the reserve selection competition, quickly appeared in front of Lei Mingkai and many other senior members of the Knights.
At that time, the training-type Lionheart Knight training-type Knight would become the focus of attention of the higher-ups.
The winner of the selection would be promoted to an official member of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment.
However, even if the outstanding reserve members failed in the selection, they might still be selected by the higher-ups of the Knight Regiment and be transferred to the next reserve location to receive a new round of training, and then become an official member of the Knight Regiment.
Of course, the former was a fixed result under the victory rule, while the latter was more of a private rumor among the reserve members.
As for how much truth there was in the rumor, the reserve members who spread the rumor did not have much hope.
Compared to pinning their hopes on the slim rumor after failure, the reserve members believed in their own strength more.
As time went by, the reserve members who were waiting for the selection to begin also took action. It was very likely that they would focus their minds, adjust their physical condition, and reach the highest level enough to win.
They,
Or sat quietly to rest,
Or held the hilt of the sword, sometimes clenching and sometimes loosening,
Or adjusting their breathing, trying to concentrate their physical strength,
Among these people, there was a figure who seemed to be somewhat out of place.
The reserve members around him were using the methods they were familiar with to concentrate their minds and adjust their physical functions, but he was casually sitting on the bench, holding a water bottle in his hand, and looking at the actions of the reserve members around him in boredom.
"Why are you working so hard? You are clearly going to be eliminated? "
Under the short brown hair was a pair of purple eyes that looked indifferently at everything in front of him.
"Hey! Rollo. I really envy you! You will definitely be able to become a member of the Royal Guard Knight Regiment. "
Just as the figure was looking at the actions of the people around him in boredom, a somewhat rough voice was heard.
However, the moment the voice sounded, that pair of indifferent purple eyes suddenly lit up with a ray of light.
In the next moment, a big hand magically slapped down from his side, directly hitting the bench.
"Bang!"
The moment the palm that missed hit the cold bench, a muffled sound was heard that attracted everyone's attention.
"Eh …"
The initiator was stunned, looked at the figure who should not be sitting on the left side of the bench, and then laughed.
"As expected of Rollo! The Rollo who can always avoid all the attacks when we are unaware! "
The loud laughter caused by the rough voice made the young man known as Rollo frown.
"Jenoqing. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my time on these things. Now, there are less than five minutes before the start of the qualifiers. "
"What?"
Everyone, including the owner of the rough voice, exclaimed, and subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall.
"Oh no!"
"Not good!"
"Quick! Get out and line up!! The qualifiers are about to start! "
After a chaotic noise, only the youth called Rollo was left in the rest room.
He raised his head and glanced at the clock on the wall, but did not get up and leave with the others.
It wasn't until the hour hand made another round that a voice faintly sounded in the room where Lolo was the only one left.
It was a slightly sharp male voice.
"Rollo. Why don't you go out? "
The youth did not answer, and only picked up the bottle of water and slowly drank a mouthful, then put down the bottle and said:
"Boring! This is just a farce. There is no meaning to it. "
"Meaning?! No meaning?! "
Unexpectedly, the youth's words aroused the anger of the sharp voice hidden at the side.
"Shut up!"
But before the sharp voice could scold Rollo, the figure hidden in the shadows suddenly froze.
It was as if time had stopped, and he did not notice that Rollo who should have been scolded and obediently stayed in the same place had already left the room.
Only until the moment the door closed, did the frozen body and the paused thoughts start moving again.
"Rollo!! You … "
The moment the angry voice sounded, it stopped abruptly.
Then, the sharp voice cursed with hatred.
"That damned Rollo! Why is he able to receive such a favor!! "
The scorching sun was high in the sky, the banners were fluttering, and the sound of the bugle horn resounded through the sky. One by one, the energized reserve members wearing driving suits stood in front of the stage, accepting the inspection of the high ranking members of the Knight Order, including Ray Mingkai.
"En? There seems to be one person missing over there? "
Ray Mingkai, who was sitting on the stage, saw that there seemed to be a small gap at the edge of the square formation with his sharp eyes.
Viretta, who was standing beside him, immediately made a gesture, and a subordinate quickly walked up.
"Your Highness, Sir, please give the order!"
"Whose position is over there? Why hasn't he appeared yet? "
Viretta pointed at the gap and asked reproachfully.
"That …"
When the subordinate saw the gap, his expression instantly became interesting.
At first, it was astonishment, followed by a burst of anger, and finally, a look of helplessness.
That wonderful change in expression piqued Lei Mingkai's interest in the person who had caused a gap to appear in the phalanx, but had yet to appear.
"There is no need to panic. You just need to tell me who that person is. I have no intention of pursuing the responsibility of any of you. "
Of course, before understanding the situation, Ray Mingkai still had to reassure his subordinate.
"Yes! Thank you very much, Your Highness! That, that is the position of the reserve Knight, Rollo. "
After receiving Lei Mingkai's promise, the subordinate who was greatly relieved hurriedly told him the truth.
"Rollo?"
The familiar name made Ray Mingkai come to a realization.
"Is that so? You can go down and prepare to begin. This, is just a small matter. "
"Yes! Your Highness! "
Looking at the panicked figure of her subordinate, Viretta frowned, seemingly puzzled.
"Your Highness, are you not going to pursue the responsibility of that reserve member? Someone was actually late at such an important event. "
"Late?"
Ray Mingkai smiled without a care, and then signaled Viretta to look at the other side of the venue.
"Look! Isn't that the person who arrived? There is still one minute left before the start! Strictly speaking, this can't be defined as being late. "
Rollo.
The young man with short brown hair and a pair of purple eyes that looked indifferently at everything in the world was slowly walking into the venue. He did not care about the gazes around him, nor did he care about the scolding of the Knight Order members who acted as the leader. He walked into the venue at his own pace and stood in his own position.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the high platform where many higher-ups of the Knight Order were watching the ceremony.
He saw the man beside the female vice commander with a graceful figure on the high platform.
He was his mission target!
