Next, Rozen and Ichikawa did not continue to fight, but announced the end.
However, the two did not leave just like that. They sat on the bench next to the open space and chatted with each other.
It was called chatting, but in fact, it was just Ichikawa thanking Rozen all the time.
According to Ichikawa, before that, no one in the school was willing to fight with him, and he was not even allowed to participate in the actual combat course. Rozen was the only one who didn't mind his F-Class Knight identity and was willing to fight with him and talk to him.
Therefore, Ichikawa was very grateful to Rozen.
But Rozen said so.
"I just did it because of my curiosity, you don't need to thank me."
He noticed Ichikawa because Ichikawa's swordsmanship attracted Rozen's attention.
He wanted to fight with Ichikawa because he felt an inexplicable concern from Ichikawa.
Now, the puzzle has been solved, and he learned that Ichikawa reached the level of Eye of the Mind, Rozen was impressed by Ichikawa again.
So …
"I won't look down on you just because your magical power is low, you can rest assured about that."
Rozen said such words indifferently.
"Thank you."
Ichikawa kept thanking Rozen like he was relieved.
However, Ichikawa didn't think that Rozen would treat him equally just because he was an F-Class Knight.
The most important thing was …
"… I didn't expect that you can still treat me like this even after knowing that I'm a member of the Iron Family."
Ichikawa sighed.
Rozen somewhat understood.
"You've worked hard too."
Rozen sincerely thought so.
As a member of the Iron Family, Ichikawa stayed in Pojun Academy in obscurity and was kept back as an F-Class Knight. There must be a lot of stories behind it.
For example …
"It's obvious that you're so skilled, and you defeated the examiner in the entrance exam, but you're actually studying abroad. It's really incredible."
Rozen said such words bluntly.
This made Yi Hui a little helpless.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm an F-class Knight after all."
Yi Hui only used such a sentence as a conclusion and accepted such a fact.
Rozen knew very well how much sadness was contained in these words.
An outstanding swordsman was a country's treasure. Although an expert swordsman like Yi Hui had low magic power, his strength was still extraordinary. For him to be held back was most likely not because of the academy, but because of his family's interference, right?
Rozen only needed to think for a moment to understand what was going on.
"That's because the family has always produced outstanding sabers for generations. If an F-class good-for-nothing were to appear in the family, it would only ruin the reputation of the prestigious family. That's why they're making things difficult for us, right?"
With the Ebon family's power, as long as they made a request to the school to suppress a student, there was an eighty percent chance that it would be accepted.
Perhaps the reason why Yihui wasn't allowed to participate in the actual combat class because his ability value wasn't high enough was because the school was suppressing him.
In the end, Yi Huihui had to repeat a year due to insufficient credits. This should be the main reason.
In other words …
"I was abandoned by my family, and I've been away from home for a long time. The reason why I chose to enroll in Pojun Academy is that tuition and accommodation fees are waived here. Even so, my family still doesn't want to see an F-class like me graduate successfully. Otherwise, once people in the society know that there is an F-class in the family, the family's reputation will be ruined."
Yi Hui held a water bottle in his hand, drinking while muttering to himself.
"I know that my talent as a magic-knight is very poor, my magical power is pitiful, and my ability is very weak. I'm not suitable to be a knight at all, but I still don't want to admit defeat."
Yi Hui has been practicing swordsmanship with such an idea in mind.
"Since my magical talent is not good, then I will train this body and practice my swordsmanship."
The reason why Yi Hui's swordsmanship was so superb and reached the level of Eye of the Mind was also because of his persistence.
Therefore, even if he had to repeat a year, or even study abroad, as long as there was hope, Yi Hui would never give up.
"I will definitely become a magic-knight."
Yi Hui spoke of his dream.
"Fortunately, the chairman who once conspired with the Kurotei Family has been fired. In order to make up for the poor performance of Pojun Academy, the new chairman has abolished the system of using ability value as the standard to participate in the actual combat course."
The chairman mentioned by Yi Hui was none other than Shinsemiji Kuroda.
If it was that person, then he wouldn't care about the pressure from the Kurotei Family.
As a popular player who was once ranked third in the world, Shinsemiji Kuroda's influence and strength were definitely not something that the Kurotei Family could easily suppress.
After all, Kurotei Ryuuma had passed away, and the Kurotei Family had no Blade Cutter that could suppress the World Clock.
In front of a truly powerful Blade Cutter, even a country was nothing, let alone a small family.
In such a situation, Shinsemiji Kuroda gave Yi Hui a promise.
"As long as I can win in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, then no matter how bad my ability value is, that person will let me graduate."
Yi Hui told Rozen such inside information.
Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
It was an annual Martial Arts Festival held by the seven Knight Academies in Japan. It was a competition to select the strongest student knights. At the same time, it affected the status and ranking of the seven academies to a certain extent. For the seven academies, it was the most important competition of the year.
Over the years, Pojun Academy's performance in Seven Star Sword Dance Festival was getting worse and worse. The best result was last year, but it was only in the top four, and it missed the championship, runner-up, or even third place.
In order to save Pojun Academy's performance, Shinsemiji Kuroda was promoted.
The Student Knight who could win in Seven Star Sword Dance Festival not only meant that he was the strongest Student Knight in this generation, but also highly valued by the Alliance, and his future could be described as bright.
Therefore, the strongest Student Knight who dominated Seven Star Sword Dance Festival would be given a unique title, Seven Star Sword King.
"I will definitely become the Seven Star Sword King."
Yi Hui made such a declaration.
His eyes were unprecedentedly firm.
It was destined to be an extremely difficult path.
In front of Yi Hui were not only countless people who were more talented than him, but also outstanding geniuses who stood at the top of the Student Knights.
Yi Hui, as an F-class Knight who was even weaker than the average Blade Cutter, wanted to defeat so many strong enemies was as difficult as ascending to the sky.
However, this man must be mentally prepared to smash his head and not regret it, right?
Rozen suddenly grinned.
"Then do your best."
As a classmate who met for the first time, Rozen could only give such a blessing.
"Thank you."
Yi Hui showed a gentle smile to Rozen and accepted Rozen's kindness.
On one side was the highest A-class Knight.
On the other side was the lowest F-class Knight.
Between the two men, a preliminary friendship was established through a conversation.
