In the depth of the forest, a lonely knight is taking a break, laying down in the side of the bonfire. The surrounding seems clear, so he close his eyes, suddenly, a dagger came flying towards him. He noticed the incoming dagger and dodge it.
"This is getting annoying no? You guys really persistent on killing a knight coming from that place" the knight said as he grabbed the dagger beside his face penetrated in the tree his staying in.
"Well.. it's quite a experience to kill a knight of that place! They give high reward to if I turn your head to the-" the man covered in cloak said but didn't finished his sentence as he sees himself headless before falling to the ground.
"Bastard, you should have brought more friends with you"

"Everyone line up!" the man standing in front of a stage shouts as people line up in from of him.
"Today, we will open the knight training again so that those who want to protect the empire can have a chance to be in it"
Knight, the symbol of honor, they protect those who couldn't defend themselves. They were respected, once attaining the title "Knight", one can be considered noble, but being a noble in get go comes with the harshest and hardest training of all time.
"From today onwards!!! You all will be trapped here in 2 years for training to become a knight!!!" The man shouts as the gates that surrounded the small camp close.
'I hope I'll do good' Mirran thought.
Mirran, a commoner who wish to become a knight like every other kids growing up. He was inspired by a certain knight at a very young age. From that day onward he promised to himself, he will become one too.
But being a commoner, it's basically 30-70 ratio of being a knight. He knows that because noble children receive training before entering the training camp. But he is ready to grab the risk no matter what.
"Hey Mirran!!!" a boy at the same age as him approached him.
"Oh Dron you entered too huh?"
"Hey don't look at me like that.. I know I lack everything, I never even held a sword before.. except someone I know..." Dron gaze at him.
"Hey stop that.. I only mastered basic" Mirran tried to calm Dron but it makes him more jealous.
"See!!! You already mastered the basic and I'm like an idiot who couldn't even grip a sword properly and you thought it's a small thing to "just mastered the basic" my ass!!!"
Mirran covered his face as Dron draws a lot of attention. The instructor that is in the podium look at him.
"You!!! Do dare to shout in front of me?!"
After the brief welcome greeting from the knight captain, they all settle on they're own tent assigned to them. Each tent consist of 10 members each.
"Ugh... I'm beat up!!!" Dron complain.
"You idiot.. you shouted in front of knight captain, you knows what's coming from you after that" Mirran said as he unpacked his things in his bed.
"You guys know each other's?" the girl said as she sit in her bed not that far from Dron and Mirran double deck bed.
"Well.. I know this idiot since childhood" Mirran said.
"How lucky you guys got to a same tent.. oh by the way I'm Kalanthe"
"I'm Mirran"
that's the first night at the knight training camp.
