Third person POV
3 years have passed, and Kazaki and Roel are 16 now. That means they are now graduating from the academy.
Kazaki: "Wake up bro, time to go. It's graduation day, remember?"
Roel: "Just 10 minutes…."
Kazaki smug and used a water blast on Roel. As he laughs, Roel, all wet, gets up and screams at Kazaki.
Roel: "Damn, man, why?"
Kazaki: "You were not waking up. Also, remember, we have to say goodbye to your brother and Reina."
As Roel gets up and gets ready, Kazaki goes downstairs.
Kazaki: "Don't forget your bag."
Reina: "I know, stop reminding me."
Meanwhile, Kazaki went to Reina's room.
Kazaki: "Is that the dress I bought for you 3 years ago? Are you still gonna wear that?
Reina: "Why?"
Kazaki: "Because you are fat now."
Reina: "Stop it!"
As they were mocking each other, Roel came downstairs and told them to quit it and get ready to go. As they get ready, a horse wagon comes to Kazaki's house. Leon stepped out of it and called everyone. Kazaki heard Leon and went outside to meet him.
As he smiled, Leon greeted, "Hey, Kazaki!"
Kazaki grabbed him by his collar, took him to the side, and said, "You're going with my sister?" As he looked scared, Leon said, "Yes, yes, remember your father and my father said we both go together?" As he was saying that, Kazaki told him, "If anything bad happens to her, I am gonna murder you." Leon nodded as fast as he could.
As they went back and put their stuff in the wagon, Kazaki said goodbye to his sister as the wagon started moving. Kazaki and Roel wave at them.
Leon tries to sit next to Reina. While he was halfway through trying to sit next to her, a knife came from the back of the window. Leon and Reina were shocked and startled. Leon understands who throws it as he sits on the other side of the wagon.
Roel: "Talk about an overprotective younger brother."
Kazaki: "Call me anything. I don't care."
Roel: "Well, time for us to go to the graduation ceremony."
And so, both of them went to the graduation ceremony of the Knights' Academy to attend and graduate.
There Aife and Lorelei are waiting for them.
Aife: "You guys are on time. The headmaster is about to begin the ceremony."
Lorelei: "I'm so excited to graduate!"
Roel: "Yeah, and we are going on our first quest, too."
As they were laughing, Kazaki felt happy for them.
And then, the ceremony began, and each of the students was called to the stage so they could receive their diplomas for completing 3 years of their education in the academy. Throughout the entire 3 years, Roel, Kazaki, and Aife, alongside Lorelei, have scored high on their quizzes and exams while Taylor and Sayor, who had managed to escape at night thanks to an adventurer 3 years ago, are envious of their academic achievement and held on the same notion as before. After the other students, the names of Roel, Kazaki, Aife, Lorelei, Taylor, and Sayor were called, and each of them went to the stage to receive their diplomas for graduation. They were happy in order to keep their public image, especially for Sayor and Taylor.
A day after that, they went to the capital's adventurers' guild for their first entrance quest. There the guild receptionist gave them the quest, which will last for 2 weeks. They accepted it, but Taylor and Sayor considered them as their rivals. Kazaki and Roel are hostile to them for being selfish and arrogant. And so, they were organized into two parties: one consisted of Roel, Kazaki, Aife, James, and Amaya, and the other consisted of Bay, Sayor, Taylor, and 2 other party members for this quest. This only intensified the rivalry between the two arrogant nobles, Kazaki, and Roel, while Bay was uncomfortable with her new party. Meanwhile, Lorelei went to another kingdom with her father.
