The Wish of the Dragon

Chapter 31:

Then after they left Issei went around the are to look for monsters. And he can find some in no time.

It's just some Hanny Slime so they are basically total scrub.

After killing some slimes Issei got the 100G he needs. Then he heads towards Abel city.

Along the way, he saw a water fountain. The water looks really clear and he can feel some sort of blessing on this water, so he tried to drink some.

Issei - Delicious... And I can feel my fatigue recovering.

Random man - Oh. Is this your first time drinking from a <Recovery Fountain>? When you drink water from these fountains, you get fully healed. It's got something to do with Mother Eve's blessings, apparently. Worth remembering, right? But this water can't be stored in an empty bottle or any container, It will become normal water after a few seconds passed the moment you take them out from their source.

I love this water so much that I become an adventurer just to drink it more often. *Gulp, gulp*... Mmm, tasty! Delectable! More, More!.... Gulpgulpgulp!

Issei - ...

Issei hastily leaves the man alone...

-At Abel's city-

He saw Ramius waiting at the city entrance.

Ramius - Halt! Did you have the gold already?

Issei - Ah. Here you go.

Then Issei tossed her the gold bag.

Ramius - Umu. Let me see.

*Cliiing!*

She proceeded to spill the content of the bag to the ground.

Issei - ...?

Issei is confused about why she does that. Then he finds out the answer soon enough...

Ramius - One... Two... Three... Four... Five...

She started counting it one by one that's why...

Issei - You know you didn't have to take it all out...

Ramius - Shut up! Ah... Drat, now I have to start over... One... Two... Three... Four... Five...

Issei is totally speechless after seeing that. Then he tried something.

Issei - What time is it now again?

Ramius - Around 11, I think. That's what my internal clock says. Twelve... Thirteen... Fourteen...

Issei almost facepalmed because that actually works, '*Sigh* Seriously...? Well, I don't want her to mess it up again. Guess I'll just wait it out'. Then Issei just spends his times looking around him to look at the city and all that.

The housing pretty much looks like in Konosuba, which is world European Middle Age built with stone bricks but there's magical property can be seen here and there, and it's slightly more advanced. Basically, it's quite beautiful for a small city.

Ramius - Forty-five... Forty-six... Forty... Forty... Uhhh...

Issei - Next is Forty-seven...

Ramius - Oh right! Thanks... Forty-seven in particular always gave me trouble. I don't work well with numbers you see.

Issei - ...This seems more severe than that...

Ramius - Forty-eight... Forty-nine... Fifty...

Issei can only sigh once more and wait for her to finish, he got to admit her dedication and seriousness looks cute though. So he spent a while by looking at her counting all that and in case she got stuck at some point once again.

He really does enjoy watching her dedication that unconsciously his face went soft and he had a small smile on his face. He never one to judge people of their incapabilities, everyone has their own weak points and strong points.

He likes seeing a dedicated and hard working person such as Ramius here.

Thankfully there are no girls around to see his current face or they would totally be smitten and fell in love right away.

After a while, she finally finished counting.

Ramius - Yosh! There's indeed 100G here. As a Knight, I can vouch for your strength. You're free to enter the town as you wish. Also... Here, you can have your Golds back.

Issei - Um. Thanks.

Ramius - If you're tired you can stay at the inn over there. Your fatigue should recover in no time after some rest.

Issei - Got it.

Ramius - Also. Issei Hyoudou was it?

Issei - Just Ise is fine. And should I call you Lady Ramius or something?

Ramius - You can drop the title. I don't care for such formalities.

Issei - Um. Same here. Nice to meet you again, Ramius.

Ramius - Nice to meet you too. Issei. But if you're not one of the Outlaws... Where could they be hiding?

Issei - ...

Issei didn't say anything because he knows even though Outlaws are not a threat for him but for normal people they are pretty dangerous. Because Outlaws are the one who has lost everything, so they are not afraid of anything.

They will steal, kidnap, r*pe, kill, etc. Outlaws have the well known <Black Ring> on their finger.

Those with the black ring lose the ability to grow or raise anything.

Even if they grow plants, raise animals, mine some ores, kill monsters, they won't receive anything. The plants won't grow, the animals won't produce any dairy products such as eggs or milk and they die straight away after a few days, the ores they touch will become common rock, the monsters won't drop gold. That's why they will resort to all that killing and stealing because if not they can't survive on their own without the blessing.

Even if they chop up the finger that has the black ring it will just appear once more on the other fingers. And if they cut all their fingers it will appear on their neck next and become a black choker rather than a ring.

So Outlaws band together in groups to assault towns and traveling merchants. So if there are any sighting of Outlaws nearby you can expect there's their hideout somewhere nearby and they are preparing to attack the nearby town.

Ramius - Well. No matter what happens I will protect everyone in this city, even you. So don't worry.

Issei - Thank you for the concern but I don't need any protection. And besides, it will leave a bad taste to have a cute girl such as yourself protecting me.

Ramius - Hweh!?

Issei - Hm? What's wrong?

Ramius - Oh! Uh... C-C-C-Cute? Who are you calling a cute girl!?

Issei - Then are you a boy?

Ramius - OF COURSE NOT!

Issei - Fumu. Then there you go. There's no one else with us here, I'm obviously a man and you're the girl here. What's so weird calling you a cute girl anyway?

Ramius - B-B-But there is no man ever called me a c-c-cute girl before!

Issei - There's one here right now.

Issei calmly looks at her. After all, he does see her as a cute and beautiful girl. So nothing wrong with that.

Ramius - Uh-Ah... Umm... T-thank you...

Issei - Don't mind it. I'm just saying the truths. To me, you are indeed a beautiful and cute girl.

Ramius face went red after hearing that and she's thinking 'C-Couldn't be... No man could find me attractive besides a particular kind of eccentric.) But after hearing his latter words she becomes even more red-faced.

Then she turns around and tries to avert the topic.

Ramius - N-Now. I'm sure you're tired. So come into town and go ahead to take a rest.

Issei - Sure.

Abel town is a small town with a population of a few hundred.

But compared to <Fresh Fish Island> it's quite big.

Issei saw Middle-aged women were chatting and laughing at a restaurant. A couple of old people were paying a board game.

The town was peaceful and carried a gentle aura.

Issei spends some time exploring the town, but along the way, the town girls keep staring at him.

He feels a bit uncomfortable being looked at so he covers his head with his hoodie.

Then he saw a <Level-Up Shop>.

He's still at Level 1 after all this time because there's no Level shop at the <Fresh Fish Island> and the twins told him to visit it if he ever saw one before at the island.

So he went inside the Shop.

Issei was asked to write his name at the front desk before being let into the back room.

Inside the shop, there's a lot of weird things such as voodoo dolls, some lit candles, gypsies stuff like that.

Issei doesn't see anyone at the back room 'So this is a level shop... Hm? Looks like nobody's here though.'

??? - Welcooome!

Issei heard a girl's voice from the table.

Issei - Hmn?

??? - Oh, did I scare you? My voice is coming through the magic receivers in front of you.

Issei looked at the table and saw round rings being supported by stands.

??? - Everyone's supposed to have one specific level up person, but then you'd have to go all the way back to the town with that specific level shop all the time. But by using magic receivers, I can level you up in any town.

Issei - I see.

??? - Anyway, I'm your leveler, Sora. Hm, let's see... Issei Hyoudou? Nice to meet you.

Issei - Um. Nice to meet you too. You can just call me Ise.

Sora - Got it! It Seems like it's your first time at a level shop, so let me go over a few things. And if you somehow feel uncomfortable talking with me without seeing my face then you can open up that file there. After all, you'd be surprised at how many people having trouble talking without seeing my face.

Issei doesn't really mind it though, but since she went over the trouble informing him he might as well see the file.

Issei - This file?

Issei opened the file. It contained tons of portrait photos.

Sora - Page 14 has my face. Hope that helps.

Then Issei proceeded to open page 14 to see her picture.

It shows a beautiful busty girl with a shoulder length pink hair with pink eyes. She wears what appears to be a magician robe with a black and purple color and she also wears a purple habit on her head. She has big boobs. /wiki/Mifa if you want her image).

Issei - Hee. Beautiful.

Issei just calmly says that.

Sora - Right?! I get that a lot! That's why everyone asks for me. You're one lucky guy, Ise. Now, I'll explain how this works. Listen closely.

Issei - Sure.

Basically, he defeats/kills enemy whether it be Outlaws or monsters he will get the exp points. Then the God who governs the level up system will measure his exp to Level him up.

Sora - If you form a party, your party members fall under my supervision too. So I get tons of busi-Err, I mean it's more convenient for all of you.

Issei - ...Got it.

Issei knows she just slips up her true objective not that he minds it though. After all, it is indeed a business for her.

Sora - Anyway here let us proceed with the ritual. Oola mayta potten kororin, pattara piro piro, nya nya nya! (AN: Japan at it's best folks their bullshiitery is over the roof)

Issei face twitched hearing that stupid chant...

Then there's a light descend on Issei. His level went from LV1 to LV67 right away.

Issei feels his body got stronger and the mark of Nyarlathotep started manifesting itself to channel the "Destruction" element throughout his body. It's just a little but it's a start of something. But he doesn't realize this happening and it will take a while before he realizes it.

Sora - Congrats, you leve- Eh?

She saw his lv went up from LV1 to LV67 in one go.

She scratches her eyes to see if she's seeing things at the moment.

Sora - EHHHHHHH?!

Issei - What's wrong?

Issei is confused by her sudden voice.

Sora - B-B-But you were LV1 just now!?

Issei - So?

Sora - But you just leveled up to LV67 in one go!

Issei - And?

Sora becomes totally speechless from seeing his lack of concern, like what just happen is nothing weird.

It needs to be known that the maximum Level on this world is LV100. So for Issei to reach LV67 in one go from LV1 is unprecedented, never heard of.

Issei - Then we're done here right? Well, thank you for the service.

Just when Issei about to walk out Sora calls him once more.

Sora - W-Wait. If you tell the person at the front desk it's your first time, you can get a free level shop summon ticket. You can use it to level up from anywhere.

Issei - Hm? Oh. Got it.

Then he walked out and get the ticket.

Sora who's inside the store is still speechless after what just happened. 'Uuuu... He doesn't seem to respond much towards 'My' picture. Even though he's so handsome... I wonder if I will meet him again later or not? Should I give him the 'Special' picture of 'Me' to motivate him a bit more... And his Level incident is just too amazing, at this rate I can ascend into Goddess of Level faster... Yosh! I shall give him the 'Special' picture next time!... And who knows... Maybe he will be attracted to me later. But... *Sigh*'

Sora actually is just behind the curtains and she doesn't let people see the real her for a reason...

Issei can actually feel her presence behind the curtains but he never bother to point it out, if she doesn't want people to see her then that's her business. Not him.

But that's a story for another time. (Well if you guys check the link I posted, you might already know her true form)

After that Issei checked the Item Shop and see if he could find anything useful for him.

Well, he doesn't want to trade his current sword because it is a gift from the twins. And the rest of the items are just weird... So he decided not to buy anything but the potion just in case.

And the store owner creeps him the fck out because he's an okama. And he keeps trying to flirt with him. So he hastily just buy the potion and get the fck out ASAP.

After that, he visited the church. He lowered his hood to pay respect, after all, it's quite rude getting inside a church with a hood or hat on.

He's greeted by the saint of the church. Her name is Laurent. /wiki/Laurent if you want her image)

She's quite the beautiful woman with short red hair, red eyes and she wear glasses. She wears what appear to be a white sleeveless nun outfit that accentuated her beauty very well. She's also holding a golden staff.

When Laurent first saw Issei she felt her heart thumped loudly, but then she told herself she's a saint of Mother Eve's church and she's not allowed to marry anyone unless it's a special case.

She shook her head and calmly asked him if he's here to pray.

Issei said he's just here to look around.

Then she introduced herself, her name, her occupation as one of the Saints of the church. Saints are determined to have inherited a particularly vast amount of Mother Eve's power. Although, she personally don't know what makes her so special to be chosen as a saint in the first place.

Laurent seemed shy to talk about herself. Her smile had plenty of firepower behind it that it somehow stimulated Issei's memories.

He felt like he remembered some old memories on a certain golden-haired girl... But it's still unclear, but he knows every time he tried to remember that golden-haired girl his heart ache a bit. So he stopped thinking about it.

So Issei introduced himself too. Then they get to know with each other with Laurent.

She said whenever you feel mad or upset just pray and you'll feel all better.

Then Issei saw somebody praying while his body emitted rainbow-colored light. And that person feels very refreshed after doing that. Then that person walked out of the church with a refreshed smile.

Issei - 'Hmm. So that's how it works.'

Laurent - See? It's remarkably effective.

Issei - Um.

So Issei asked her if she works here or something.

She said no. There aren't very many saints, so they are given entire regions to manage.

Issei - That sounds tough. And there are monsters around, so it must be pretty dangerous.

Issei is pretty relaxed around her, probably because of her pure aura. So he couldn't help feels concerned about her.

Laurent feels very happy that he's concerned for her.

Laurent - I appreciate your concern. But as long as I'm designated as a saint, I'd like to carry out my duty.

Issei is very impressed with her dedication. So he gave her a small smile.

Issei - I see.

Her heart thumped once more seeing his smile, her cheeks redden a bit but she kept her composure this time.

Laurent - Hai!

After chatting a bit more Issei left the church to look for an Inn because the day is getting dark. She sees him off.

Laurent still gazing at his back after he decided to leave for now. She kept thinking how good would it be if she's not a Saint for once in her life because that way she could've chased after him and get to know him better.

She feels very comfortable around him, there's never a man that makes her feel that way before.

But that's just how it is... So she stopped thinking about it and head back inside the church.

Issei finds an Inn and spent the night. The inn is quite big considering its cheap price just for a night. And there are five beds inside the room, so if he ever has a party then they could spend the night together in 1 room.

Tomorrow morning Issei heads out to the near green pasture of the city, and he saw a cow in the middle of the road.

Then a green-haired girl with a glasses come looking for the cow. She's quite plain but still a bit cute, she has an average body as a girl not too busty nor too skinny just plain. She wears a green and white colored farmer outfit. /wiki/Colpis If you want to see her image)

When she saw Issei she got a bit taken aback but since she's already engaged she doesn't let her thoughts wonders. Besides she thought she's too plain for a handsome guy such as Issei, and she does love her fiancee.

She thanks Issei for finding the cow and she introduced herself as Colpis a farmer that works in Abel.

She told him to visit the farm because she wants to thank Issei for it. Issei agreed to it if he has the time.

Colpis then bowed to Issei and took her cow back to Abel.

After sightseeing a while Issei decided to head back towards Abel.

After entering the town he met with the man who surrounded him along with the other villagers along with Ramius before at the shore.

His name is Yarase. Currently employed here as a Soldier.

He introduced himself to Issei. He said he will soon take a Knight test in the capital.

His objective for becoming a Knight is to get more girls as his spouse, in other words. He wants a harem.

He told Issei to not get to close with Ramius because she's pretty weird and usually Knights work in teams. But she's all alone.

They say it's because everyone she teams up with gets injured, so she's always alone. People call her the Loner Knight.

Issei just ignores his warning because he doesn't believe on such things such as bad luck bringer. And he kinda like Ramius for her dedication so he's kinda irritated this Yarase keep talking bad things about her.

But he just held it in. After all, everyone has a different opinion about something and he's not the one to judge. Unless someone bad mouthing his loved ones he won't really care what they think.

Yarase wishes the capital send more Knights, and maybe Sir Acheval instead of Ramius. He thought Sir Acheval will notice his 'talent' and let him join.

Issei asked who's Acheval is, and Yarase becomes surprised he doesn't know Acheval.

Acheval is one of the Kingdom of Eden's only three Zero Knights.

Acheval Dreissen was a Zero Knight of Eden. Born to Tank Dreissen and a Zero Knight mother, Acheval was raised in the town of Stallion, along with his sister Ramius. He was promoted to Zero Knight following his performance during the Arthur Tragedy and continued to defend Eden from monsters in the years that followed.

Issei - 'Hmm. So he's Ramius big brother huh...'

Then Yarase wanted to show Issei around the town, he just accepts it because he just arrived here yesterday. And he remembered Colpis farm, so he asked him to show him the farm.

Yarase knows Colpis well. they greet each other when they meet each other.

Yarase said he brought a newcomer to show around the city. Then Colpis noticed Issei.

Colpis greeted Issei.

Yarase got a little surprised seeing that Issei and Colpis know each other, he told Issei he has good taste because Colpis is a cute girl to him.

Issei just ignored him.

But Colpis got a bit taken aback being praised like that.

But then Yarase told him it's too bad she's already engaged though. To a guy named Ginyu who runs this farm.

Then they chat a bit more. Then Colpis offered a drink to them both, it's a freshly milked cow milk that selectively bred. It's so sweet that it can't be drunk on its own, so it's distilled in water.

Her dream is to let all the world to taste her special milk.

Issei just encouraged her that It can happen because it is indeed delicious.

Then Colpis face broke out into a big smile because of delight and she says thank you.

Issei leaves soon after that but Yarase decided to stay to flirt with her and Issei is fine with that because he decided to kill some monsters instead.

After Issei left. A few minutes later, Colpis fiancee Ginyu comes and told some bad news about their cow got a disease. And they need to find some special grass to cure it.

Colpis wanted to go by herself while her fiancee and Yarase forbids her.

When they asked Yarase to go he says soldiers aren't allowed to leave the town and the Lady Knight Ramius also aren't allowed too he said. (Yup he's basically just a coward and jackass)

Her fiance is also the same feeling afraid and all that.

So Colpis decided to go on her own ignoring their warning.

-After a while-

When Issei got back after killing some monsters outside the town. He got back seeing some villagers feeling distressed over something.

When he asked them what's wrong. They said Colpis went outside town a while ago and someone saw her got kidnapped by the Outlaws.

Issei got surprised at that. Then he saw Ramius, Yarase and some young man slumped on the ground at the center of the crowd.

When he got near them he heard that young man saying "Ooooh... Colpis, please... Be safe."

So Issei assumes this guy must be Colpis fiance.

Ramius noticed Issei

Ramius - Hrm? Ise? We're talking right now, wait until later.

Issei just calmly nodded and wait for them to discuss it.

Yarase said the reason why she went outside the town, but without telling what he just said about Soldier isn't allowed and Ramius also isn't allowed to leave town.

He said she left town on her own even after they forbid her to look for the special Grass.

Then Ginyu pleaded to Ramius to save Colpis. While Yarase said "Don't be ridiculous. We don't even know where the Outlaws are hiding."

And Ramius concluded from the direction they were last sighted and the footprints they left behind. They are likely in the cave to the west.

Yarase got surprised because that cave have strong monsters inside, and there's no way a human can use it as a hideout.

But Ramius can't think of anywhere else they'd be. Ginyu once more screamed, "Then go and get Colpis back before it's too late!"

Ramius asked Yarase to come with her to rescue Colpis since he's a Soldier so he can kill Outlaws without losing Mother Eve's blessing but he said It was too dangerous and it's basically suicide.

Ramius then could only agree that it's too dangerous to go there without a plan and they need reinforcement for that. Sadly it might take 3 days for them to arrive.

Ginyu - If it was Sir Acheval who came, he could've saved her!

Ginyu once more screamed.

Ramius - ?!

His enraged shout makes Ramius shudder.

Ginyu - Why'd it have to be his useless sister!? And the Loner Knight at that!

Issei finally speaks

Issei - Oy.

Everyone nearby him got taken aback because of the aura he's emanating and eyes are glowing a bit.

Ginyu is the most affected because he's the one who receives Issei <Aura> directly.

He shuddered fiercely.

Issei - If you think Ramius is useless then why are you not the one who went to find the Grass instead of Colpis herself? If you're the one who went maybe the Outlaws won't try to attack you because you're a man. Some man you are for letting your fiance goes out alone like that.

Issei knows he's weak so he can't do much against the Outlaws but that still doesn't give him rights to badmouth Ramius like that.

Ginyu trembled so hard and he got nothing to say back because he's indeed too afraid to go on his own or to go with Colpis in the first place, and when he saw her got taken by the Outlaws he just stands there watching her being kidnapped. The one who saw her got taken by the Outlaws is him himself.

He's just too afraid to admit it.

Ramius finally cuts in

Ramius - ...It's fine, I don't mind. I'll take personal responsibility for this. The rest of you can calm down and return to your regular business.

Ramius said that to the citizens and left the farm.

Issei who saw that took back his pressure and said "Trash" to Ginyu.

Ginyu finally pissed himself because of the sheer pressure even Yarase felt a bit shaken because of Issei's pressure alone.

Then Issei followed after Ramius until they arrived at the entrance of the town.

Issei followed Ramius along the way and after a while. Finally, Ramius asked him "...Ise? What do you Want?"

Issei - You're planning to save Colpis on your own don't you?

Ramius is surprised because he knows her objective.

Ramius - Wha?! How did you know I was going by myself?

Issei becomes speechless like its so hard to guess...

Issei - Well... It was obvious...

Ramius - W-Was it?!

Issei - Ah... You seem at your wit's end back then and you head towards the town entrance right away after that. So I become worried you'd do something stupid and follow right after you... Seems like I was right...

Ramius - W-well thank you for your concern. That's plenty enough.

Issei - So? Shall we go together?

Ramius - But you aren't even a Soldier yet. I can't have you assist me with killing.

Issei - It will be fine as long I don't kill them then right?

Ramius - Don't be ridiculous! They're accustomed to murder. You can't go easy on them!

Issei - Don't you know my strength well?

Ramius - I-Indeed but still what I'm about to do is clearly foolhardy.

Issei - Why?

Ramius - If going out to save a single girl by entering enemy territory with no prior preparations or investigation isn't foolhardy, then what is?... Being compared to my superior brother probably has me flustered...

Issei - ...Well, if you can realize that much then I'd think It's not affecting you too much.

Ramius - No! I-

Issei - You just want to help Colpis. That's all that's on your mind right?

Ramius - Correct. However rash it is, I want to rescue her. I'd rather my nonsensical behavior not affect a citizen like yourself. Please understand.

Issei - I refuse.

Ramius - Wha!? Why? Are you intending to die?

Issei - How the hell you come to that conclusion... It's common sense to help the weak. So if you're doing it to save Colpis, regardless of the danger you invite by going yourself, you're making the right choice. Stupid? Maybe, but it's the correct one as a Knight yourself.

Ramius - You approve of my actions?

Issei - Ah. Indeed.

Ramius - Oh... I see...

She felt happy that Issei approved her idea even though it's quite stupid.

Issei - And like I said before... Letting a cute girl alone in danger will leave a bad taste in my mouth afterward.

Issei gives her a smile once more after saying that.

Ramius who heard his word and saw his smile got totally flustered and went red-faced

Ramius - A-Aaaah... Y-You're still calling me cute?!

Issei - My view of you won't change. Ramius. To me, you're a dedicated, hard-working and cute girl.

Ramius face went totally beet red after hearing Issei's word, there's even smoke coming out from her head.

Ramius - P-please don't tease me. No woman monstrous enough to be able to slay beasts is cute.

Issei - I'm not teasing you. I'm totally serious. If you're supposed to be monstrous, regular girls are worse than that.

Issei seriously told her.

Ramius - ...You saw how they reacted to me. I lack experience as a Knight and even have strange rumors spread about me. They find me frightening... Just because you want to come with me doesn't mean you should lie... I even harm other Knights.

Issei calmly extends his arms to Ramius shoulders and make her face him straight in the eyes.

Ramius - Eep!

Ramius got a little taken aback from Issei's sudden action.

Issei - Look into my eyes. Do you see any sign of me lying? I really think you as a cute girl. Ramius Dreissen.

Ramius who gaze and look towards his enchanting wine-red eyes become totally lost and her eyes started spinning while her face totally red.

After a while she asked.

Ramius - Aah... R-Really? I-I-Is that... T-True...?

She stutters.

Issei just nodded at that.

Ramius - You're the first person who's said so. Thank you...

She smiles while saying that.

Issei who saw her smile for the first time got a little smitten because of how beautiful it is.

Issei - ...

Ramius - This isn't because you said I'm cute, but. I-I grant you permission to come along.

Issei snaps back out of it and calmly says "Ah. Thanks"

Ramius - I'm going to appoint you as a Soldier. So no going easy on the enemy.

Issei - Got it.

Ramius - But remember this. To be able to kill without repercussions is too great a power for most to wield. If you're consumed by that power and use it for evil, I'll take responsibility and kill you in turn. So please don't make me have to do it...

Issei - I promise you. I won't.

Ramius - I-In that case, I'll now appoint you.

Ramius held her lance over her head and focused, generating a dull light from her body.

The light eventually gathered in the lance. She placed the shining weapon on Issei's shoulder.

Ramius - "In the name of Lady Ramius Dreissen, may Issei Hyoudou be granted the title of Solder."

Then Issei felt a numbing sensation, but before it became painful, it stopped.

Ramius - Yosh. It's all went smoothly. Now when you go to the capital, you can take the Knight test too.

Issei - Um.

And this is the first step of Issei to becoming the strongest Knight in history and even beyond that...
