Chapter 211: Dropping by for a Short Visit
The Knights of Prussia were running around on the beach wearing their training armor.
「Ok! Ten reps of dashing on the beach finished! Five minute break!」
「U~ssu!」
Even though they finished dashing while wearing metal armor, the knights still had energy.
Especially the younger knights who were overflowing with vitality…
「Hyahoi! It’s a vacation da~ze!」
It was to the extent that they ran straight to the lake afterwards.
The young knights entered the water up to their ankles and moved around.
「Fui~ It feels sooo good~」
「Ahh, training everyday is a pain but this training camp is almost heaven.」
Normally they trained until they sweat rivers, then they had to work till they sweat blood. That was their normal schedule.
In comparison this wide open, cool, and comfortable space to train might truly have been paradise.
Even though they had only arrived yesterday they were already training. However at night they seem to have the free time to have some alcohol.
「Oi, hold back a little guys. You still have more training afterwards.」
「Ussu Senpai. We got it.」
The Senior Knights warned them with wry smiles as the young knights lightly acknowledged them.
「We’ve still got enough energy to do 100 beach dashes. We’re fine」
「That’s right. Senpai why don’t you come over?」
「Haha, I’ll hold back. With the Knight Captain and Princess…we’ll still have willpower training and plenty of other things.」
The Senior Knight muttered.
At that moment.
「……….!?」
The young knight’s heart pounded fiercely.
「W-what is this pressure…….!?」
He squeezed the words from his mouth as the knights who had entered the lake fell to their knees. It was not him alone.
「——」
The young knights relaxing on the beach were also falling to their knees and shaking.
The young knight remembered this sensation.
「This is…..power greater than the Princess……Lord Daichi’s power……!」
The knight grit his teeth and looked at the direction the pressure was coming from. There he saw….
「This is the Knights’ training camp Daichi-dono.」
「Ehh, it’s in a larger and prettier place than I thought.」
The figures of the Princess who ruled the city and the man who had saved it several times.
************************************
I was brought along by Dianeia and was shown the Knights’ training camp.
I could see a large apartment-like building around three stories tall as well as a large beach. There were many knights sweating profusely as they sat on the ground.
From within the building the Knight Captain ran out.
「Welcome Princess and Daichi-sama! —All men gather, form up, and stand by!」
「Ha!」
After shouting his orders all the knights gathered.
The knights who looked as if they were drenched in sweat stood at attention.
「Sorry to force you guys to psych yourselves up.」
「No, it’s perfect since we were about to finish our break. There’s no problems.」
The Knight Captain Shook his head while saying that, but it looks like there are some guys who didn’t get up to gather.
It really doesn’t look like they were finished with their break.
「It looks like some are still lying there…are they really okay?」
「Yes, there’s no issue. It’s just that they were hit by the pressure of your magic power Daichi-sama and lost the strength to stand. If they rest for a while they’ll be fine.」
The Knight Captain responded with a bright smile…actually it’s my fault?
I had applied my self-taught coating…but it looks like magic was still spilling out.
「Umm…it looks like we really did interrupt huh?」
「No, it’s no bother in fact it’s quite helpful. Originally the Princess and I would emit our power out to train their willpower. I’m quite grateful that you provided us with a more powerful version of that training!」
The Knight Captain reaffirmed seeming actually grateful. What’s more…
「I thank you as well Daichi-dono. I was going to spend my time after this coming over to help the training……however you completed that part for me just now. Thanks for giving me a break.」
Dianeia confirmed the Knight Captain’s words.
I’m just glad I didn’t cause undue trouble to them.
「Now, since you’ve come to visit please take a courtesy gift of Knight Corps Specialty Alcohol and Confections. We have them prepared in the lounge.」
「Eh? You’re undergoing willpower training and having us do this?」
「Yes. Actually, this type of willpower training doesn’t take very long. A moment of very high pressure is enough. Afterwards there’s a cooldown period. The effectiveness of the training will only show in that manner.」
He said and turned to shout at the knights.
「Men! Rest! After a few minutes follow the orders of your Commanding Officer!」
「Ha!」
The Knight Corps responded with a spirited cry.
It seems this particular training truly ended so shortly.
「Haha it’s thanks to you Daichi-sama. Please receive our thanks. This way.」
「Oh, ok then I’ll take a bit.」
And so Dianeia and I followed the Knight Captain inside and entered the lounge.
