The Ruler Of Night

Chap 3's. The beginning for us

"Let's go in" Shira said.

The four of us entered the room, but when we entered it we saw that there were three boys sitting at the top who turned out to be a class with them.

"They were the three children" Oda said.

"Curf! why are they again," I again felt annoyed when I saw them.

The three boys also saw my presence, Rin, Oda and Shira, also looking at us with a cynical look and then throwing our faces away.

"We should choose our seats" Shira said.

We chose the seat, I, Shira and Oda sat next to each other in the third row of the front row, while Rin sat next to the first row along with the other girls.

After all the students were in the classroom, soon a man who was the Master who would teach us came and introduced himself.

"Good morning everyone" said the Master.

"Good morning" replied the entire student.

"Include me, my name is Hisobu, I am the Master who will teach you about witchcraft here" continued the Master introducing himself.

After introducing himself, the teacher immediately began his first lesson.

A person who would become a royal knight would have to take magic training in the kingdom, that is so that the would-be knights could master magic power and develop their abilities.

There are several types of training or lessons applied, the first is magic techniques and the second is sword techniques.

Humans have their own Elements, and they can control those elements with their magic power.

However, to use magic power must first activate the energy that exists within humans or called Mana.

Of course it is not easy to activate that energy, it must be with hard training and high concentration.

"If you have successfully activated the Mana within you, then you will be able to use magic power like this" explained the Master as he displayed fire magic in his right hand.

As for the sword technique or the so-called swordsmanship, for aspiring knights, of course, must master this technique, a technique that is very important for a knight in combat.

If this technique is combined with magic power it will create a large and powerful attack.

"All right, everyone, now that we're gone, I'll show you the training places that exist" the Master invited all his students.

After finishing the explanation about the magic material, all the disciples were invited to go to the place to practice sword techniques.

A wide open space and there were other disciples who were practicing, where they could make a free movement.

Watching the other students practicing also made them amazed and became excited.

"This is the place for sword technique training, you will practice magic practices and sword techniques here," explained the Master.

Then they were invited to a place like the arena field where that place would be where they would do battle training later.

And it made the entire disciple so amazed and felt the tense atmosphere in that place.

"Well, now that we get to where the fighting arena is, this is where you will do the training and test of fighting later" he explained again.

After the Master showed them the training ground and explained them, they all returned to the classroom and continued their basic lessons.

A few hours passed and the day had already started late afternoon, it was time for the disciples to finish their training today.

We all came out of the classroom and went home.

I, Oda, Rin and Shira were in front of the kingdom talking a little bit about what we learned earlier.

"We learned a lot today" I said happily.

"Yes, today we only learn introduction and the basics," Shira continued.

"But I don't understand if I have to study like that, I prefer to just practice it immediately" Oda said with a lethargic expression.

"Well, I'm sure you'll be great royal knights later on" Shira said encouragingly to Oda and the others.

"Shira, thank you for what you did to us today, we are greatly helped by you" said I thank Shira.

"No problem, we are friends" Shira replied happily.

"Oh yes Shira, are you from the kingdom? You seem to be familiar with the three children who were there" asked Oda to Shira.

"Yes, I do live here, I am the son of the noble King Endeis and Queen Altria" Shira replied casually

introducing himself as the son of the King's Majesty and the Queen of the kingdom.

Hearing that, Oda and Rin were surprised because we didn't know it at all.

"PRINCE!?" we all three said in surprise.

We immediately bowed our knees and bowed our heads before Shira saluted and apologized for our ignorance.

"I'm sorry for our dudes, Prince, we really didn't know that you were a Royal Prince" I said in a slight panic, feeling guilty.

"Yes Prince, please forgive our mistakes" said Oda and Rin.

Shira who saw our attitude like that made Shira feel bad, and directly holding my arm that was in front of her also told the three of us to stand up and act normal towards her.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come on up" said Shira telling the three of us to stand back up.

We got back up and stood up.

"You are a Prince, it is appropriate that we behave like this to you" I said.

"Yes, that's right Prince," continued Oda.

"It's okay, you can be normal with me like a friend" Shira said with a big smile on her face.

"Why doesn't it matter if it's like that?" rin asked in a nervous tone.

"Listen to me, these three of you I've considered my own friends, well even though we just met today,

but in the future we will continue to meet and train together, right? So, I beg the three of you from this moment onward to become my friends, would you?" shira said with a sense of wanting to make friends regardless of status and title.

Hearing Shira's words like that made me, Oda and Rin felt very happy and excited about being able to befriend a royal prince.

"Good! Prince, of course we want to" said the three of us.

"And one more thing, from now on don't call me by that name, but just call me by my name alone" Shira once again told us.

I, Oda and Rin looked at each other as if we had the same thought and then we smiled.

"All right we understand, Shira," said the three of us with great pleasure and joy.

Shira who saw that expression was also happy because she had made a good new friend.

"Oh yeah, you guys are from marle village huh? It's a little far from here, don't you guys want me to lend you a horse-drawn carriage to go home?" Shira offered us one of the royal chariots to drive us home.

"Eh, no need for Shira, we prefer to walk together while enjoying the beautiful atmosphere of the afternoon" I replied.

"Yes right, thank you for the offer, but we want to walk away" continued Oda.

"Well then, be careful on the road" said Shira.

"Yes, then we go home first yes, see you tomorrow, Shira," I said goodbye to go home.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow" continued Oda.

"Bye-bye," continued Rin who was still a little nervous.

I, Oda and Rin finally returned to the village on foot together, but did not reduce our feelings of pleasure and enthusiasm in the least.
