Dorino the Knight and His Golden-Eyed Friend

“I can’t believe I passed...”

Dorino, clad in his uniform, was participating in the entrance ceremony for the chivalry school within the Kingdom of Ordine’s royal college.

The auditorium was unduly spacious. The ages of the new students varied, and female students composed twenty to thirty percent of the group. Children of nobles were numerous. While a certain number of commoners did enroll in the chivalric track, most of them were children of families who served nobles, had learned how to wield a sword and bow from a young age, or had excellent command of strengthening magic.

The entrance exam for the college chivalric studies track was considerably difficult and included a practical component in addition to a pen and paper test. Anyone who couldn’t prepare for it properly was at a serious disadvantage.

Dorino hadn’t sufficiently prepared for the exam while he was in primary school. After all, he had originally aspired to be a city guard.

The school for city guards was separate from the chivalric college track, and students spent three to four years in specialized study. The instruction taught one everything needed to uphold the safety of the capital, from self-defense to arrest techniques, horseback riding to fighting in a team, and geography to the Ehrlichian language.

However, Dorino’s teacher encouraged him to just try for the college chivalry school since he had high magic for a commoner and could wield ice magic. His teacher explained that even if he did not become a knight, his studies would not go to waste, for studying chivalry would open up more employment opportunities and improve his odds of earning a better salary. So Dorino decided to place chivalry as his first choice and the city guard school as his second.

To prepare for the written exam, he spent three months answering practice questions at school, and his teacher carefully coached him for the interview. As for the practical exam, he had no experience using a sword or lance, so he chose hand-to-hand combat; he had been taking lessons ever since he first aspired to become a city guard, so it wasn’t very difficult for him.

During the actual college examination, he was only required to run ten laps around the large schoolyard, and he was able to maintain a decent pace by using strengthening magic. For the written exam, he started with the questions he felt most certain about answering and wrote as much as he could.

He wasn’t confident about his performance in any component of the exam, but he’d gotten through the first stage. At a later date, he moved on to the next stage, which included the practical exam and the interview.

The hand-to-hand combat exam was conducted by a burly man who towered over Dorino. The examiner told Dorino to come at him with everything he had, so Dorino went for a surprise attack to the backs of his knees and sent him tumbling to the ground. They grappled with each other, but once Dorino was brought down on his back, he assumed he’d probably failed.
