Chapter 2 Assessment

On this day, the sun rose high, but there was no training in the school field as usual.

Even several militiamen and stens of the manor itself came.

Although it's under his eyes, to be honest, no one pays attention to Derek's training.

Training militia sounds like something, but in fact it's just a small assessment.

No one has ever lived in a checkpoint.

Because I don't have the strength, it also has something to do with it. If I really can't find a few farmers with a background, I have to get through it anyway.

No one will deliberately embarrass this point. Anyway, after graduation, there is only one more knight title. All the children who are assessed are nobles, and after adulthood, they will have the title of honorary knight.

Derek also understood in his heart, so he was more calm.

When the sun rose, finally a sound of horses' hooves came, and all the stedkers who were sitting in the corner of the school field stood up.

Chloe Knight, the flag captain, is also the assessor this time.

The flag captain of the Knights, nominally in charge of fifty to one hundred knights, is a minor official.

In fact, the Knights were originally the main combat force under the command of Count Peres, and the status of the flag captain was higher than that of an ordinary 500-man.

This status is just right to be the examiner for the knight's graduation assessment.

Derek smiled. Although there will be no trouble, it is certainly better to meet acquaintances in the final examination.

That's right, this one is an old acquaintance of his father, Andro Ferrera. To be precise, the full name of his identity should be Von Derek Ferrera.

Feng is his name, Derek is his knight's surname, and Ferrera is his original surname.

Accepting the name Derek means that he has no intention of competing for the family business, otherwise he would not have called himself Von Derek so early.

Although the two are very familiar with each other, they can't be seen at all on the surface.

Rejecting the steker's politeness, Captain Chloe's flag began the assessment at a glance.

From militia skills, physical ability, to queue forward, retreat and turn under the drum command.

It's all basic things, and this militia team did a good job.

If it hadn't been for knowing that Derek didn't have to cheat here, Chloe would even think that the other party was cheating.

But soon he rejected the possibility. Feng, who had submitted an application for retirement, did not need to do it again.

"So... it's really a good talent."

The captain of Chloe Banner quickly finished scoring and announced on the spot: "Congratulations, Derek, your grades are... excellent."

Derek disbanded the militia with a smile and came to the Knights of Cloa, and then he regained his relaxed posture. Uncle Chloe, I didn't expect you to come for the assessment.

"Anyway, I'm going to go for a trip, so I'd better come to see you," Chloe explained, and suddenly asked, "Retiring from the Knights, are you ready to go home?"

His inquiry was the choice of most noble knights.

Leaving the fiercely competitive knighthood and returning to the family to participate in family affairs is also a good way out.

But unexpectedly, Derek shook his head and said, "No, you also know my situation. There are too many brothers, and I am not the only one missing.

I'm going to be a wandering knight.

Wandering knights are officially called free knights.

Waiting for the nobles to be hired and edicted, he usually travels around the world, doesn't it sound awesome?

In fact, it's just a mercenary, and no nobleman will recruit wandering knights from outside.

Even if it is a great nobleman like Count Perez, there are enough knights in the family and the knighthood under him. Even if he is given a fief, it will be the turn of outsiders?

A baron family like the Ferrera family has a small land. If there are many brothers, they can organize a flag team. When will they get outsiders? Except for a few lucky people, there is no chance.

As a wandering knight, it is to organize a small team of mercenaries to complete some tasks such as armed escort and suppression of bandits, and wander around.

When the war comes, they will also choose to fight, and maybe there will be a land.

Unstable, dangerous, and too many disadvantages.

Chloe was a little surprised that Derek was a relatively good young man. In addition to seeing his ability to train militia today, why he chose to be a wandering knight.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Maybe you can go to my territory to help. If you want to fight for a title in the future, I can support your team of soldiers."

This treatment is very superior.

Especially to support a team of soldiers, you should know that the price is not small.

To be honest, Derek was a little moved.

But at a glance at the data panel, he instantly stopped: "Thank you for your favor, but I already have a plan."

Chloe doesn't feel embarrassed, and it's normal for young people to have ideas.

"If you change your mind, you can come to me." Handing over the badge representing the knight, in fact, Derek already has the title of knight, surname, emblem, triangle, and all of them.

Therefore, what Count Perez can give is a knight's badge, which represents that he once served as a knight.

However, this is also a water injection. In fact, he served as a knight apprentice, but it is easier for the unselected knight to find a good place.

If you join the Knights, the handover will not be so simple, and there will be a chance to meet the count at the canonation ceremony.

Of course, there is also the reason why Derek is unwilling to try to join the Knights, and he has to declare his loyalty to the Earl of Peres at the canoning ceremony.

You know, the relationship between the king and the minister is very strong, and it is almost impossible to betray and find a way out, otherwise it is difficult to get along.

Without absolute strength, Derek doesn't want to take this path.

It's better to hang out alone while you're free.

After sending away the knights of Chloe, Derek packed his luggage and said goodbye to the manor scheker and the militia he had trained.

"Goodbye... My knight's apprenticeship."

In the sunshine, Derek didn't remember at all. He knew that he would have a very perfect future.
