Chapter 2

"The Cool" S-class Female Knight

"After what happened this morning it's been decided that I'm going with Rohee-san on a dragon hunting date later."

"Don't call it a date, hunting dragons isn't a game."

I was having such an exchange with my friend Greta at the knight school.

This is a school where they are training knights to be dragon hunters.

Of course there are also female knights like Rohee Maxia but they are only in the minority.

Incidentally, since this is a knight school, everyone is wearing armor.

I always go to school wearing the jet-black armor made of Mithril provided by the kingdom.

On the other hand, Greta and her classmates is only wearing a leather armor. That's not good, those armor are so lame.

Well, I guess even if they wear the same armor as me, it will be too heavy and they won't be able to move.

Also students are also allowed to carry weapons.

My weapon is a long sword and it looks like a slimmer version of a great sword.

It is my father's favorite sword.

It is not a special weapon like the one Rohee Maxia had, but it is a wonderful S-class weapon made of mithril.

Even with this kind of equipment it is forbidden to pull out your weapon inside the school.

The reason for wearing an armor and carrying a weapon inside the school is so that students can sortied out to hunt dragons anytime. But inside the school it's only just treated as a regular uniform.

They also said that we are fully equipped so that if by chance a dragon invades the city we can respond immediately but because of this it is extremely difficult for them to conduct classes.

Well if that do happened I'm pretty sure the knights of the kingdom will do something about it.

Also I don't think student knights can do anything in those type of situations.

Anyway, I decided to enjoy chatting with my classmates until our homeroom teacher, Flambert-sensei, arrived.

"I thought that she might have a boyfriend or two since she's so beautiful, but she's free so it's really good."

"Zekudo you are always thinking those sort stuff aren't you? Aren't you ashamed to be a knight?"

"I'm not ashamed because my chivalry is money, muscle, and women."

"Please apologize to Chivalry!"

A lot of different complaints came from all my classmates.

"No, even my deceased father always said that chivalry is sake, money, and woman."

"You and your father can go to hell together."

Another complaint came.

Moreover they said it in perfect harmony.

It seems that the guys are on good terms today as well.

"I'm sure you've heard of Rohee Maxia, the third-year students at this Knight's School right?"

When Greta said that our classmates begins saying, "Yeah" and "Ummm".

"Even though she is still a student knight, she is powerful enough to be recognized as an [S-class knight] and she has given the title of [Emerald Knight]."

Hey! I'm also one.

Please can someone praise me too.

As I finally became an [S-class Knight] yesterday.

You are all still [C-class Knights] right?

Lame! You guys are so lame!

*Whack*

"That hurts"

I don't know what's going on but Greta hit me out of nowhere.

"Why did you hit me."

"Sorry for some reason I'm pissed at you."

Our classmates are also agreeing with her.

That's really terrible, I didn't even say that out loud.

The dignity of a highly esteemed [S-class knight] is not something to be sneezed at.

Maybe I'm releasing an aura of condescension?

As I was patting my aching head, the classroom door was suddenly open.

I thought that it was Flambert-sensei.

"Please excuse my rudeness. Is Zekudo Forss here?"

But it wasn't Flambert-sensei as our teacher doesn't speak in such a masculine way.

But even though it is sound in a masculine way the voice is definitely coming from a female.

I immediately raised my hand to answer her call.

"Yes! I'm here"

I looked at the woman.

Her red hair was pulled back in a ponytail with a black ribbon, and she was clad in a crimson armor.

Her light blue eyes which is as sharp as sword were staring at me.

Uhh, she's beautiful, though her beauty is what I call a thorny beauty.

"Huh? Are you really the [Dark Knight] Zekudo?

The title [Dark Knight] was given to me at the same time I became an [S-class Knight].

If I combined it with my name it sounds very villainous.

"Yes, I'm Zekudo and you are?"

"I'm Katia Rouge, I'm the new member of the Dragon Killer Squad."

I knew it.

I just remember that her name is included in the roster that was given to me if I remember her title is the [Crimson Knight].

I want to see if you are worthy of being my captain. So don't do anything after school today because you and I will play a game called dragon hunting."

"Y..yes"

Katia Rouge left after declaring that challenge.

For a lady knight she is quite forceful.

I noticed that she is carrying the [Buster Lancer] on her back and in one of her hand she is holding the [Tower Shield].

So she's also a trigger weapon user.

The [Buster Lancer] is a weapon that causes an explosion at the point where it is thrust and that will cause repeated damage over time.

It is said that weapon is really difficult to handle and Katia was the first person I saw that uses it.

"Katia-san!"

"What is it?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Are you really asking me that question now!?" in front of your classmates.

Katia, then furrowed her brow and crossed her arms.

"Do I look like I have one?"

"Well when I look at you, you are so beautiful so I guess so."

"..."

Katia sighs as if she was amazed.

She turned on her heel and left, leaving only the words, "You don't have a good eye for women".

"I can't see?"

I don't think that's true.

"This is really terrible, Katia Rouge is also the same as Rohee maxia, a third year student and also an [S-class knight]. Are you really going to be okay?

Greta ask me that in a trembling voice.

I just answered her with a thumbs up.

"It will be fine. I may look like this but I have a very strong purpose."

"Huh? What's your purpose?"

"You have seen Katia right? She's the same as Rohee as they both have massive chest."

"Where the hell are you looking at!"

I was then hit by all of my classmates.

"You are being challenged by Rohee Maxia and Katia Rouge right? Zekudo you should be a little more tense."

"Lolita, I know what you're saying but all I have to do is to win right?"

"You're really carefree you know that right? But that "to win" you are saying is the hardest part to do."

"Even if I lose I won't be killed so there's no need to be serious right, Lolita?"

"It's Gre-ta! Seriously, the next time you called me that again, I will kick your ass. But well if that's what you want to do then that's fine, I guess, but I'm curious what is this [Dragon Killer Squad] she is talking about?

Not only Greta　but all of my classmates seemed to be curious about it and they are focusing their gazes on me.

What the?

It seems that they haven't received the news yet.

Well it was only released yesterday so I guess it can't be help.

"Hmmm. It seems that recently there have been many sightings of [Danger Level S] dragons all over the country. And it seems that this team is created with the purpose of hunting them down."

"[Danger Level S]?"

All of my classmates were shocked.

Well I can't blame them.

As a single [Danger Level S] dragon is a kind of monster that is capable of destroying a city.

The difference between the [Danger Level S] and the [Class A] dragon is so vast that a [Class A] dragon would seem to be cute in the eyes of an [Danger Level S] dragon.

Ten years ago a single [Danger Level S] dragon appeared.

It destroyed many cities and villages and it killed tens of thousands of people.

And that was just only one dragon.

But right now there have been multiple sightings of such a dangerous [Danger Level S] dragon.

That's why it's no wonder that my classmates are all shocked.

"There are many [Danger Level S] dragons all over the country!"

"Seriously?"

"How can you even win if more that one of them shows up?"

"Yes that's true! that's why you guys should stop talking about money and women!"

"Youuuuuuuu!"

I was beaten up from all direction by my classmates.


Note: MC's name maybe read as Zekud but for some reason for me it's sounds better when his name is Zekudo.

-Zekudo remarks that Katia is speaking in a masculine way because of the fact that when she entered the room she said "Shitsurei suru zo" which is literally translated to "Please excuse my rudeness" which can also be translated to excuse me, I think that it is the masculine way or the old way of saying excuse me while the common way of saying excuse me is "Sumimasen".

- Greta's name or is it read as Greita or Gurita (Though I don't think it's Gurita because it's a female name) is written as グリータ and lolita is written as ロリータ since the only difference between グリータ (Greta) and ロリータ (Lolita) is only one character so Zekudo is making fun of her.
