Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

14 – Practical Test (1)

“I can hear a lot of people’s voices these days. “Did something happen?”

“This is a noise caused by students flocking in for the entrance exam, President.”

“Oh… That’s right. I forgot. “Maybe it’s because as you get older, you tend to forget things and sleep more.”

“I know that as you get older, you usually get less sleep in the morning.”

An old woman with white hair and her guard behind her, a woman with black hair and wearing a suit, passes through a vacant lot without any of her test takers.

An old woman with a hollow smile that matches the warm spring sunlight.

In contrast, she is a woman who maintains a calm prayer while guarding the back of the old woman with an expressionless expression.

In some ways, the two people, who seem very mismatched, naturally continue their conversation.

“It’s been a while since I talked to Sir Sartian, so I didn’t even notice the passage of time. What do you think?”

“I think he is truly a talent worthy of his reputation. “If we put our swords together directly, she will have a better chance of proving that she was wrong.”

“That’s right… I thought she would have laid down her sword once she retired. “I feel so good because you showed me a prayer that wasn’t like that at all.”

‘Knight of Dawn and Sunset’

A commoner-born knight who was once renowned on the northern front of the empire.

Although she is said to have retired due to her work with the Duke family, she is an old woman who looks happy to see that her prayers have not died even in her old age.

“It’s the red robe of the empire. “It means that such talent does not flow to other countries and is not affected by competition for the throne.”

“Then, is it okay if I let her take charge of her actual swordsmanship professorship as planned?”

“Of course. Oh, by the way, I thought she said the boy she was raising with her daughter was here, is that correct?”

“That’s right. “I understand she will probably be taking her practical exams by now.”

“Hmm… “

A male knight.

The last thing I remember was when a man from the Marquis family took the entrance exam to prove himself, but ended up crying after being humiliated in Dalian.

I am interested in the face of an old woman recalling a memory from quite a long time ago.

“That boy…” “What was your name?”

“I know you as John.”

“Okay, okay. John. “Let’s go to where that child is.”

“You mean the president? Even if you don’t do that, the result is… “

“I don’t have anything to do today, that’s why. “It’s also free.”

“There is a messenger waiting for you from the Marquis of Bailey, but I will cancel it immediately.”

“Please do so. “Then, I will go and see the child first.”

Leaving behind the woman in the black suit, who disappears somewhere after saying hello, the old woman walks along the main road along the trees, enjoying the spring breeze.

“He’s a male knight… This is a real male knight, not one of the doll-like guys from the Holy Kingdom… Is that even possible… hahahaha… “

Sir Sartien doesn’t seem like the type of person to over-exaggerate just because he raised her, so she might see some pretty interesting things when she goes to the gym.

“I have high expectations. Expectations… hehehehe… “

White-haired dwarf,

But the name is by no means insignificant in the empire, or even in the entire continent.

‘Sword Saint’ Maria Brunhild.

The president of the Imperial Knight Academy took the steps of a giant to appreciate John’s sparring.

* * *

“The practical exam will consist of a total of three sparring sessions between test takers. “The evaluation will be based on everything that happened during the three sparring sessions, so please do your best in all sparring matches.”

The supervisor continued her words and everyone began to enter the training room according to the number she called.

-Taaa!! Percussion!!

The sound of the wooden sparring swords provided by the academy clashing echoes throughout the training hall.

“Stop! The game is decided, so step aside now. Next, numbers 278 and 369!!”

And it wasn’t long until my turn came.

As I went in the direction where I heard a voice calling me, I saw a woman twirling a wooden sword in a circular stone training hall, looking at me with disdain.

“Ha, you’re a man? Supervisor, there is no problem with the evaluation or anything like that, right? “Something like making a rough assessment that I won too easily against men.”

“That will not happen. “I ask the examinees to salute each other and now focus on sparring.”

“Tsssss… “

I guess he didn’t like me as his sparring partner.

Well, if you are not the right opponent, you may be dissatisfied because you have little ability to show.

Since it was an important moment that would determine whether I would become her knight or not, I thought she might be a little sensitive, so I endured her unpleasant feelings and greeted her before sparring.

Nevertheless,

“This is John. I look forward to.”

“This is Jane Purbon. He sure was handsome. Does she have any intention of becoming my concubine? No, let’s have a drink together at night after sparring. “It won’t hurt too much, so don’t worry.”

The sassy woman in front of her was saying things that were completely out of character for the person she was sparring with.

-Pudduk…

This is really…

You’re not even looking at me as a sparring partner right now, right?

“……”

“I think I’m too tall… Rather good. The taller you are, the bigger the place will be. Is she perhaps a virgin? There are many virgins that I have tasted in the territory… hehehe, don’t worry about anything, just enjoy. As a man, all you have to do is be good at being trampled on by women at night.”

“Jane, examinee. “Please be courteous to others.”

“Ha, I’m a commoner and a man, so what’s there to see? “Shouldn’t we at least have fun like this?”

Commoner. Man.

Two reasons why people look down on me.

I thought I was familiar enough with this world, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Then, let’s start sparring!”

“Don’t be too scared, pretty!! “I’ll treat you gently!!”

-Crash!!

To the b*tch running towards me from the other side of the training ground

-Whoa!!

“If you avoid it for no reason, it will hurt more, so just be quiet…” “Wow!!!”

I saw the long tip of a wooden sword being stabbed into the solar plexus.

I was wondering where to stab it because there were so many gaps, but I thought I should start by opening the mouth, so I made it difficult for it to breathe.

“hehehe, hehehe… Yes, yes… !”

“Maw.”

-Peoeoeook!! Ugh!!

“aaa!!”

As I quickly swing his wooden sword towards both legs, he kneels in front of me like a doll with its strings cut.

If anyone sees it, it is a scene where a 185cm tall man beats a 165cm tall woman to her knees with a wooden sword, making me the villain.

There is nothing like that in this world or in my head right now.

“Geuha, ahahahaha…” !!”

“What’s wrong with a concubine?”

“Kya, hahahaha!!”

“I told sparring to focus on sparring. A girl who wants to become a knight catches her eye during a sparring match? Uh?”

-Baaa!! Sigh!!

The basics are bad. The basics are bad.

Do I seem to be comfortable with the idea that, at best, it would be a good match if all of the Agnes fought together?

The moment when I was so annoyed by the sight of him not letting go of the sword in his hand that I tried to make him put it down right away.

“That’s it!!! It’s a winner!! Test taker John, please step away from test taker Jane!!!”

“Yes, I understand.”

I couldn’t do it because the supervisor, who was staring at me blankly for a moment, stopped me.

“There will be a sparring match with the next test taker right away, so please wait for a moment under the training hall.”

“I understand.”

I lower my head slightly and listen to the gangster’s moans as I come down the training ground.

-Kyaaah… ! All right, legs… ! My legs… !

-Calm down! I’m going to apply the potion now, so you’ll feel better soon! It may hurt a little, so be patient!

-Kaaa!!!

Hmm, good, good.

The screams of the woman who looked down on me and harassed me until just now sound sweet, like the chirping of a bird in the forest.

I hit my leg hard, so it might hurt a little and it might affect the next sparring, but it’s none of my business.

I said I would apply potions as well, so I guess they will take care of it.

“Wow, wow… Did you just see it? Unilaterally… “

“Is that right? “I can’t believe what I just saw.”

“hahahaha, hahahaha… I wish I could hit you too… I’m confident that I’ll be good at getting spanked every night… hahahaha, hahahaha… “

The types of things people around me say about me have also changed.

Until just now, the main focus was on appearance and a man’s skills.

For now, I am only talking about the overwhelming performance I showed in Dalian.

… Of course, I also heard a few comments with strange tastes.

“Testee number 278!! And taker number 489!!! Please come up to the training hall!!”

I’m calling you right away. Not even giving me time to take a break.

It’s okay since I didn’t use any stamina during the sparring earlier, but it would be quite difficult if other people were like this too.

Do you check your physical strength through continuous sparring like this? I don’t know who thought of it, but it’s a really good idea.

I admire this test as I trudge back toward the sound.

In a place like this, I’m sure there’s a lot I can learn in the future.

Let’s go to the training ground with such expectations.

“Ah, hahahahaha… That, John? I won’t beat you up like I did before… ?”

“Well… Let’s take a look… ?”

“Hey, hey…” !!”

“I’m kidding. That… theory… “

“It’s Sharon! Since they look the same, it can be confusing! “I’ll take care of you!!”

“I’m sorry… I’ll take care of you too, Sharon.”

One of the blonde-tanned twins who had lunch with Lena earlier was waiting for me.
