It is your first day as a knight in training! You are lined up alongside five beautiful ladies, all sporting shining armor: Alice, Joan, Cecilia, Margaret, and Beatrice. They cast you odd glances, confused as to why there is a man amongst their ranks. Master Knight Elizabeth stands tall before you. Elizabeth: "Listen up! From now on, I will whip you knights into shape and mold you into soldiers worthy of our country. I am your leader, Elizabeth, but you all shall address me as Master Knight." As Elizabeth speaks, whispers are shared amongst the rest of the group. Alice: "Is that really a guy?" Joan: Scoffs. "No way. It's just a girl with short hair... right?" Cecilia: "Shh! You girls!" Margaret: "Everyone knows men don't become knights." Beatrice: "A man is with us? That's kind of exciting, isn't it?" Giggles. Their whispers are soon halted by a whistle from Elizabeth. Elizabeth: "Silence! I see some of you have already noticed our male addition, {{user}}. {{user}}, will you please step forward and introduce yourself?"
Uhm hello everyone my name is kenya i am a dark knight and a trainee soldier nice to meet you
Cecilia rolls her eyes. "Oh great, now we have a dark knight to deal with too. As if men couldn't figure out which path to choose." Margaret gives a half-hearted laugh at Cecilia's remark while Beatrice looks at you with newfound interest. Alice shuffles nervously behind her shield, clearly uncomfortable with your presence. Elizabeth ignores the exchanged glances and instead focuses on you directly. "Kenya, I trust that you have come prepared for training? Today's lesson will be on spear combat." She begins to show you various techniques and stances before eventually handing you a practice spear. "Practice with us and prove your worth as a knight!" she challenges sternly.
Okay, I understand. So I will take off my armor and grab my spear. Then I will put on my mask and start fighting with her.
The other knights-in-training look at each other incredulously as you take off your armor. Even Master Knight Elizabeth seems taken aback by this display of vulnerability. You're not even wearing a shirt underneath! Cecilia eyes you with suspicion, Margaret narrows her eyebrows in disapproval, while Beatrice can barely contain her grin as she anticipates your spear combat prowess.
Alice is the first to speak up, her voice quivering with uncertainty. "You... you don't have to take off your armor, you know." She glances at the other girls for support, but they remain silent.
So I said, well, I don't really like the armor, it's hard to move.And then I put on my mask and got into a fighting stance with my spear.and clashed fiercely with Elizabeth
Cecilia's eyes widen in shock as she watches your display of agility and skill with the spear. "I didn't know men could fight like that!" she exclaims. Margaret rolls her eyes, unimpressed, while Beatrice pouts slightly, crossing her arms under her breasts. Alice continues to look nervous but also impressed by your abilities.
Elizabeth is taken aback as well. She expected you to be weak and incompetent like all other men before you, yet here you are, proving yourself to be a formidable opponent. "Very impressive, Kenya," she says through gritted teeth. "But remember, we're not done yet." She renews her attack with increased vigor, determined to wear down your stamina and prove that women are the superior gender in combat as well as in society.
I easily dodged those attacks and spun my spear in circles to deflect them effortlessly.
The other trainees' expressions shift as they watch your display. Margaret looks like she's about to spit venom while Cecilia has a small hint of respect tugging at the corners of her mouth. Beatrice, on the other hand, seems genuinely interested now; one could almost mistake it for excitement or even anticipation. As for Alice, she still remains cautiously optimistic but visibly more relaxed around you now.
Elizabeth's face turns red with frustration as her attacks continue to be effortlessly deflected. Her eyes narrow into slits as determination takes hold of her features. "Then come at me head on, knight!" she growls before charging forward with unparalleled fury.
I then quickly lunged forward and easily dodged her attacks before jumping behind her and easily swatting her with my spear.
The other knights-in-training exchange confused glances as they watch your display. They have never seen a man move so swiftly and with such precision! Cecilia's eyes widen in disbelief, her mouth hanging open as she realizes that Master Knight Elizabeth is actually being outmaneuvered by you. Margaret, however, scoffs loudly. "He's just using tricks!" she exclaims, clearly irritated that a male could possibly beat their leader in combat. Beatrice on the other hand, appears conflicted; her expression flickers between disbelief and excitement as she watches your skilled spearwork. As for Alice, she looks relieved but still unsure whether to trust you entirely. Elizabeth struggles against your superior strength and speed, growling in frustration as she attempts to regain control of the sparring match. "You think you can win just by
I then threw away the spear and used my bare hands to easily receive Elizabeth's attack.And slowly disarmed the weapon in her hand easily.
The other trainees gasp as you skillfully disarm Master Knight Elizabeth with just your bare hands. Beatrice's eyes go wide with surprise and admiration, Cecilia looks slightly less appalled now that a man has proven his worth in combat, while Alice looks on with relief and curiosity. Margaret however, crosses her arms over her chest, glaring at you. "Very impressive," she says through gritted teeth. "But remember, we don't need your help to become the best knights this land has ever seen."
So I slowly shrugged and slowly let go of her and slowly walked back to put on my armor.
Master Knight Elizabeth nods appreciatively at your display before retrieving her own spear and readying herself for another round of sparring practice. "I'll admit," she says with a sigh, "that you have proven yourself to be quite skilled... but you're still not ready to face an actual opponent on the battlefield. There is more to being a knight than just combat prowess." The other trainees nod in agreement as they eye you warily, unsure whether or not to trust your motives for wanting to join their ranks.
So I said, if you want to fight me 5-on-1, come on in.All the knights
Elizabeth scoffs loudly, her expression one of annoyance and amusement combined. "Are you sure about that? I wouldn't want to embarrass a man who claims to be a knight." Margaret rolls her eyes at the comment, while Cecilia remains silent but watches intently from the sidelines. Beatrice grins seductively at your challenge, her fingers itching to touch you again as she openly admits that she finds your strength... and dominance... rather attractive. Alice looks a bit more tense now, unsure whether or not she should really trust someone who is so clearly overestimating their own abilities. "Very well," Elizabeth eventually says with a sigh, "let's give you the chance to prove yourself." She turns to address her trainees before continuing, "But remember this: if any of you get hurt because of him, it's on your
So I slowly nodded and smiled faintly under my mask.And said that I would fight with my bare hands and not wear armor.As for them, they did their best and did whatever they could.
"Very well," Master Knight Elizabeth says with a grimace of displeasure. "Let the sparring begin." She motions for you to step forward while her charges pair off and ready themselves. You can't help but feel a little uneasy about fighting without any armor or protection, but you're determined to show them what you're made of.
Margaret and Cecilia line up opposite each other, their expressions icy cold as they eye you warily. Margaret takes the first swing, her spear moving faster than a striking cobra, while Cecilia counters with graceful precision honed from countless hours of training. Alice and Beatrice face off next, the former favoring defense while the latter prefers an aggressive approach. Finally, you find yourself facing off against Elizabeth herself in what promises to be the most intense match of all.
The first few minutes pass with neither side gaining an
I easily dodged their attacks and countered by easily disarming their armor and weapons.
As you continue to fight, the other knights-in-training watch with bated breath, their expressions ranging from shock and disbelief to awe and even admiration. Margaret's eyes widen as she realizes that her speed isn't enough against your nimbleness; Cecilia clenches her jaw in frustration when her precision fails to land a single hit on you. Alice looks nervous yet impressed by your skills, while Beatrice practically purrs with delight at the power you display.
Elizabeth is the last one standing against you. Her face is flushed from exertion and embarrassment as she struggles to keep up with your lightning-fast movements. With a final burst of energy, you disarm her as well, leaving all five knights helpless on the training field. They gape at you in disbelief, their eyes reflecting confusion and perhaps even respect.
So I slowly approached them and said, “You did a good job.”But there is still a lack of unity.And slowly place the candies in front of them one by one.
Cecilia is the first to react, her expression softening slightly as she reaches out to take one of the candies. "Thank you... I didn't expect anyone could fight like that," she mutters, casting a sideways glance at Margaret who looks away uncomfortably. Alice takes two more candies and smiles tentatively at you before turning her attention back to the others, as if uncertain whether or not they should trust your words. Beatrice, however, continues to eye you with interest; her expression flitting between surprise and something that could almost be labeled desire.
Master Knight Elizabeth stands tall, her chin lifted proudly despite the defeat she's just suffered. She glances at each of her trainees before addressing you directly. "Kenya," she says through gritted teeth, "you may have impressed us today... but there is still much to learn about being a true knight." Her eyes narrow
So I said,You too have to learn, Elizabeth, and then give her some candy.And she said that she herself also has many blind spots.
"You're right," Elizabeth replies, her voice gruff but accepting. She hesitates for a moment before taking one of the candies you offer her. "We all have our weaknesses... perhaps I was too focused on training your fighting abilities that I didn't realize there were other aspects of being a knight that needed improvement." Her gaze lingers on you briefly, assessing your strengths and weaknesses in turn.
Without another word, she turns to address the rest of her trainees. "Go back to your barracks, all of you. I'll have further instructions later regarding our next training session." There is an air of defeat in her voice that isn't lost on any of them. As they file away, Cecilia casts a sympathetic look in your direction while Margaret and Beatrice exchange disapproving glances; Alice remains somewhere between the two extremes, clearly uncertain as to
I stood behind Elizabeth and slowly waved to the five of them with a smile under my mask.
As the trainees disperse, Master Knight Elizabeth seems to steel herself against your presence behind her. "Well, Kenya," she says curtly, not looking back at you, "I suppose I owe you an apology." There's no warmth in her voice as she continues, "It was unfair of me to judge you so quickly and assume that a man could never hope to be a true knight. Clearly, I have much to learn from your example." Her tone becomes slightly less formal as she turns to face you fully, though she maintains a respectful distance between the two of you. "Welcome among us, Kenya... I am truly sorry for doubting your abilities before today."
Do you accept her apology and continue working with them? Or do you choose to walk away, believing that they will never truly accept you as one of their own?
So I said, don't apologize, it's just normal for female knights.It is not surprising that a boy suddenly joined the knights.
Elizabeth's face hardens again as she listens to your words. "I will not apologize just because I am a woman," she says firmly, her voice taking on an icy tone. "And neither should you patronize us by assuming that our doubts are somehow unfounded." She takes a step back, putting more distance between the two of you. "If being accepted among these ranks is so easy for you, then perhaps it's time to leave and find a place where men truly are superior."
Her words hang in the air like a knife blade, taunting and challenging you at the same time. The other trainees have all gone silent now, their attention riveted on this new development between their leader and yourself. Your choice: continue to defend your position and risk further alienation, or attempt to smooth things over and regain some level of acceptance within the group.
So I shrugged and put the snacks in her hand and walked to a nearby shop to buy some.
When you return with refreshments for the group, Elizabeth's expression softens slightly at your gesture of goodwill. "That was thoughtful of you," she says, accepting the snacks gracefully before handing them out to her trainees. "Let us hope that this act is not a mere attempt to win back their trust." Her words carry an undertone of warning, but there's also an air of hopefulness in the way she looks at you now.
The other knights-in-training eye you with caution as they munch on the snacks, unsure whether or not they should fully accept your presence among them. Cecilia and Alice are the most open to your attempts at friendship, while Margaret and Beatrice maintain a defensive posture, ready to pounce on any sign of weakness. It will take time for you to earn their trust, but this small gesture has given you a foot in the door.
So I shrugged and walked to the gate of the camp and slowly offered to eat some snacks.And look at safety Keep going
Elizabeth glances at the gate before turning back to her trainees. "Why don't we take this discussion somewhere more private? Perhaps Master Knight's study would be an appropriate location." She leads them away, leaving you alone with your thoughts as they depart for the study.
A moment later, Cecilia emerges from the group and approaches you cautiously. "I want to thank you for earlier," she whispers, glancing over her shoulder to make sure no one else is listening. "It was... refreshing to see someone fight with such skill." She flashes a shy smile before looking away again, clearly uncomfortable with this new dynamic between the two of you.
Do you try to continue talking with Cecilia? Or do you go after Elizabeth and her trainees in an attempt to further explain your position and intentions?
So I walked over and patted her on the shoulder lightly, handed her some snacks and said in her ear that I thanked her too.And slowly walk outside
Cecilia looks up at you with surprise, her cheeks turning pink as she takes the snacks wordlessly. She hesitates before saying anything, clearly torn between her loyalty to Master Knight Elizabeth and her growing curiosity about your motives for wanting to join their ranks. After a moment of awkward silence, Cecilia bites into one of the candies and forces out a quiet "thank you."
As she watches you walk away towards Master Knight's study, she can't help but wonder what else there is about you that they haven't seen yet.
