I stand alone in the balcony of the Granbell estate. The wind makes my hair move and sway. The breeze is good enough to cool me.
I'm now totally 10 years old, a lot happened in the past three years like.
"You're going to be my knight!" Cherry start the conversation. And I was confused.
"What knight?"
"Yeah, I'm marrying you in next 8 years or so. So, you'll have to protect me" This girl is too childish.
"Marrying isn't the case in here–" I insist.
"Yes it is!" She says as tears start swelling in her eyes.
"Alright! I'll be your knight!"
Good grief, that girl at that time is cute to be honest.
And Reinhard gave me a crimson sword... And I named it.
"Woah, I'll have to name this?"
"You can give this guy whatever the name is." Reinhard smiles.
"Really?"
"Really."
"However, you must not name it–"
"Excalibur!" Before he could say it I started naming my sword.
"It won't work young man"
Surprisingly, the sword starts to glow and turns into a beautiful white sword instead of red like before.
"Impossible, the name Excalibur worked?"
"What do you mean?"
Later he explained me that Excalibur name is a legendary sword which is made since the dawn of time. And owned by god of life.
If I completed the name, the original sword will hunt you at night, he said.
Well I haven't seen that. Is that gramps lying?
Also I'm invincible as a 10 years old but compared with that gramps, I'm nothing.
As I walk around I adventually saw Eren who hugged me instantly as she saw me.
"Raiden-kun, let's go for a date!!" Eren says with a wide smile.
But I wasn't interested and said.
"Ah, Eren, I'm not up for this." As I say it Eren just pout and said.
"Let's gooooo!!" What a clingy girl but I kinda like how she is.

Somewhere in Ranmusia magic academy.
"Should we give Knight Raiden a level up?"
Mr. Jake insisted on others.
"I think so... I don't know how much"
Tasuya replies with thoughtful expression."Raiden is so strong and he deserves the graduation."
"I agree with that but he's simply too young."
The one that say is Mr. Rangnok the retired hero who slained the former demon king. Now he's a instructor here.
Others think about his thoughts and Tasuya just hummed.
"Well, graduating him is a good choice as he have a job to protect the princess as royal knight." Tasuya spoke up.
"Yeah right, it's final decision then."
***
Suddenly Emilia come running to me and I was confused why.
"Raiden, you need to come to the school!"
"What?" I was surprised but just followed her.
When we arrived I was surprised that I got graduated from magic school as... S rank.
"What is this Emilia?" I asked.
"Isn't this great Raiden?" She says, her blue eyes showing excitement.
"Yeah right."
Does that mean, I'm going to take care of Cherry or Elizabeth from now on?!! I thought clearly frustrated.
I can't help but sigh.
What a drag I thought. I wonder what will come next...
