Chapter 6: Let’s go on a field trip

——CE 1277.

The 12-year-old Ernesti Echevarria and his childhood friends, the twins Archid Olter and Adeltrud Olter had moved on to middle school of the knighthood department. Their other childhood playmate, the Dwarf Batson Termonen, remained in the engineering department. Due to the influence of Eru, Batson had shown interest in the career of a Knightsmith. The two of them could sometimes be seen together, talking about Silhouette Knight design and operational knowledge.

As for Ernesti, he had been taking classes about Silhouette Knights but unrelated to knighthood ever since he enrolled in Laihiala Pilot Academy. Eru had completed all the courses in the engineering department after attending their classes for 3 years. After satisfying his thirst for knowledge with them, he was now unofficially attending pilot school classes.

Since Laihiala was a ‘pilot’ academy, the pilot school was the star of the institute. Only the best graduates from the Knighthood middle school would gain entry into the piloting department. Although it was known generally as the pilot school, but not everyone enrolled here had a knighthood background. A Knight Runner alone wouldn’t be able to move the Silhouette Knight, it was still a machine that required crews to maintain and service it.

The pilots would learn about controls and maneuvering. The engineers learned to construct and maintain the outer skin as well as the inner skeleton. The alchemists trained in the art of crystal tissue creation and repair. The sigilmancers focused on the preparation of the Silhouette Arms. The various departments in middle school were collectively known as the pilot school in high school.

With this background, the education policy of the pilot academy trended toward practical application. They familiarized themselves with the skills and techniques by piloting the Silhouette Knights owned by the academy. Laihiala Pilot Academy possessed 20 Silhouette Knights, a number that was more than adequate to man a fortified outpost on the front lines. But they were the retired models, the Salodrea machines, that were second-rate in ability.

These Silhouette Knights had been repaired countless times over the long years and each of them were used by several piloting candidates for training. The repeated usage had worn down the machines and it required frequent maintenance checks, a heavy burden on the students, but also a great experience for real-world application. Organizations hiring pilot school alumni commented that the fresh graduates had the ability to work on the front lines immediately.

On the training grounds of Laihiala Pilot Academy, a mock battle between Silhouette Knights was ongoing.

In the middle of the building made from stone, a red machine was engaged in battle with a white machine. They had blunt swords used for training spars in their hands, battling fiercely. The machines provided by the school had reinforced armor around the pilot seats, a design which focused on the safety of the pilots. But a Silhouette Knight going all out was still very dangerous, so the equipment was nerfed to restrict its damage. Standard equipment was only used in practical training battles against demon beasts.
