***************************************
'"There is no need for such courtesy. If I really wanted that, then I would have made my last name known"'
'With a kind smile, Yair patted my shoulder. Then he stopped and carefully began to touch it.'
'Hey you're giving me the creeps.'
'"You have firm muscles, I see that you have trained from an early age and, by your sword I can tell that your parents consider that you possess the ability to defend yourself"'
'No no no. My parents simply gave me a bronze sword and relied on family luck to send me away from home. Though, I don't deny the hellish training.'
'"Mm. Only a few years ago my parents allowed me to carry a sword with a skill on it"'
'Although Stella's voice is soft, she showed a lot of determination. I originally thought she was a shy and quiet person, but apparently she's not.'
'"Actually, my parents gave me a simple sword, it was thanks to my achievements in the labyrinth that I managed to buy one"'
'"So, you acquired the adventurer class?" Stella said very animated.'
'"Yes, but before entering the order of knights I had to remove it"'
'"Ah, I understand you. I also had a class before, but I had to remove it a few days ago"'
'It seems Yair went to the Solus temple to remove his class.'
'This temple offers its faith to the god Solus. Everyone who belongs to its religion will be able to obtain the benefits of the temple at a lower cost, many of them free. But everything has one condition… Annual offerings. That they are not necessarily about money.'
'Whoever does not belong to the temple must pay a large sum of money for any benefit.'
'Removing the class is one of them. This is done to increase the chance of success in acquiring another class, even so, the results are not clear. While some say that it is a superstition, others say that it is a necessary procedure.'
'Of course, I just changed the class with the user interface.'
'As we speak we walk towards the noble group.'
'I feel a little nervous. If each of these children had a value in numbers, it would be reflected in white gold coins. If they ask us to train together with the nobles, I'm afraid that one blow I land on them will leave me in debt for life.'
'This feeling is worse than the one I had in the slave trade.'

'"The order of knights of the Castemira Kingdom carries its sword in one hand to carry out the orders of King Alfonso Fiore, and has its shield in the other to protect the faithful of the temple. None of us must act…"'
'A knight stood before a podium and began the speech for the future knights. Everyone remained silent, listening attentively to his words.'
'About 10 minutes later, he finished with the following words…'
'"... Take up your weapons and prove your loyalty to the kingdom"'
'Immediately afterwards, many heavily armored knights approached us to direct us towards a place full of weapons.'
'"Any weapon that you carry must be locked down. You are only allowed to carry the weapons that the order of knight gives you"'
'While the commoners had to make a long line to hand over their weapons, the noble sector had dozens of knights who facilitated the work. This consisted of keeping all belongings in the weapon and armor category in a box protected with magic.'
'The belongings of 5 nobles were kept in just one box, while for the dozens of commoners it was a huge box. The difference in treatment is too obvious.'
'"Go ahead, bring your belongings first. I'll do it later"'
'"That's fine thanks"'
'"Thanks"'
'I was the one who said those words not to be polite or anything like that.'
'The moment it was my turn, I controlled the UI and entered my sword and chainmail into inventory. In view of a third party my action was that of someone who simply put their belongings inside the box.'
'Seeing that my deception was not discovered, I wiped the sweat from my brow.'
'"Choose your sword and shield" Said a knight.'
'"Is it possible to only carry a sword?"'
'"Go ahead, if you feel more comfortable with that option, you can do it"'
'After a noble asked, the knight kindly answered him. Very different from the commoner group where they were forced to carry a sword and shield.'
'I'm getting more and more uneasy about being in this group. Will they ever find out I'm a commoner?'
'All the swords are iron with no empty slot, yet, they all look brand new. Also, since no noble took a shield I followed the rest and didn't either.'
'"Very well, now choose your opponent. This will be your training partner for the duration of this knight test"'
'"Stella, we both have similar abilities. Would you like to-…" Someone interrupted Yair.'
'"Stella, here you are, let's be a couple"'
'"Ok, let's go"'
'Yair: "…"'
'Out of nowhere a very beautiful young woman with black hair appeared, took Stella by the arm and led her away, leaving Yair speechless.'

''Thank you for helping me' Stella murmured.'
''No problem''
'Mm, talk quieter. I heard you.'
'"Emir, you have experience as an adventurer. Do you want us to compare skills?"'
'"Yes, I would like it"'
'In fact, I want to refuse, get out of here, and go to the commoner group. My instincts tell me that the longer I'm here the bigger the problems will be.'
'The knights again took us to the training ground.'
'"Ready your weapons...Ready...Commence!"'
'"Here I come, Emir!"'
'Yair ran towards me and swung his sword in a horizontal line. I raise my sword upright and block his attack. From the feeling, I can tell that we have similar strength.'
'[Yair Cangani Lv15] [Class: None]'
'[(Royal blood)]'
'HP=10 || PM=10'
'Agility=8 || Strength=11'
'Intelligence=9 || Luck=3'
'[Endurance]'
'Physical=1 || Magic=1'
'Poison=1 || Curse=3'
'Although he has one more point in strength. In practice, it doesn't feel much different from my 10 points. Also, strangely, it has greater resistance to curses. Is it because it has royal blood? Haa… If I had time I could draw more conclusions, but now comes Yair's next attack.'
'Seeing that his attack was blocked, he picked up his arm and then, stretched it out with great force much like a thrust. Such an attack is impossible to block, so I took a few steps to the side and dodged it.'
'Because of his position, Yair was left defenseless on his right side. So, I raise my sword and position it in front of his neck.'
'"…"'
'"…"'
'Silence is awkward, please speak.'
'"I see that being an adventurer brought you a lot of experience, this is my defeat. Let's continue with the next round"'
'"Yes"'
'Although his eyebrow trembles a lot, he managed to keep his composure.'
'We separated a few meters from each other and started the next fight.'
'This time Yair didn't run but waited for me to make the first attack.'
'I gave him the pleasure, and went over to him.'
'As I run, I raise my sword and swing it horizontally much like his first attack. In the same way, he blocks it with his sword in a vertical line.'
'I used the force on my left foot and jumped slightly to his right, and picked up my arm and stretched it out with speed.'
'Yair jumped back, avoiding my thrust.'
'But my attack still didn't end, as the sword handle hit him in the face… Not literally, I stopped my attack an inch from his nose'
'"…" Again, his eyebrow began to tremble.'
'Don't look at me like that. Thank to my parents I'm good at fighting humans. As for monsters, my fights are too careless, I still have to learn.'
'T-This is my defeat, let's continue fighting. The knights haven't finished training yet.'
'"Yes"'
'In fact, we are the only couple that has started the third round. Everyone else doesn't even finish the first…'
'***'
'A bad first impression, but slowly, he started to put it back together. This is how I can describe training with Yair. The first round focused a lot on attack, while the second round a lot on defense.'
'The third was much better. Little by little, he began to respond to my attacks and understood my movements and, because of that, there was no fourth round…'
'Well, actually the fourth round could start at any time but, when I had the opportunity, I didn't land the final blow. Every time this happened, Yair noticed. I know because his eyebrow was sincere, and it always moved uncontrollably the moment that happened.'
'Still, this surprised me too much. Shouldn't royal blood be strong? Or maybe he's hiding something that he can't show in public?'
'"This concludes today's training, you will be given the rest of the day to reconnoiter your surroundings. From tomorrow onwards, the real training will begin…"'
'Ah, so this is the seclusion Erick mentioned. According to the knight's words, for 7 days, different actions will be done in order to get the [Warrior] class. Whoever gets it will become a knight.'
'While some will get it early, others can get it even on the last day of training. This is the real test, a test where we compete for who gets the [Warrior] class.'
'"Now, come closer to be granted the key to your room"'
'My instincts detect danger.'
'"The nobles will have private rooms, while the commoners will share a room in groups of 20 people… Now answer my call, the following commoners…"'
'"Come on Emir, we don't need to wait for that list. There are the knights waiting for us nobles to hand us over-…" Yair stopped his words midway when he heard a certain name on the list.'
'"Emir. Come, pick up your key" The knight shouted.'
'"I-Immediately-…" As I headed towards the knight, a hand stopped me.'
'"Are you a bloody commoner?!" A look of deep hatred was reflected on Yair.'
