The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

In the Kingdom of Calabria (Part 1)

"Right...so you're uh...Lily Tamriel? From where are you from?"

"I come from the city of Etihad in the Kingdom of Galad, good sir."

"Hm...you certainly don't sound like a Galadene."

"Well, I was raised by my mother, who hails from Nerfes—as you can see from my traveler's papers. I recently came to Etihad, and would like to do business with the city of Sekhtem."

"Ohh...well, judging from your looks, I could say that you're a knight. Is this true?"

"Yes, sir. I formerly serve the Mayor of Etihad, Duke Hayes. That's his seal on my traveler's papers."

"I can see that, missy. But, I can't just let you in our Sekhtem as easily; you know that our king only seeks powerful knights to protect our land."

"Does it mean that you're challenging me to a mock fight?"

"I'm sorry, missy, just following orders. Nothing personal."

The knight called Lily Tamriel—formerly known as Lilyhaven Tamriel von Leese—let out a deep sigh. She knew that the current king of Calabria, the jolly King Baldwin V Hans Levine, didn't need knights in his service. This was a test to see if she's posing a threat to the kingdom's capital city, Sekhtem.

And because of that, Lily knew what she had to do.

"..."

"Do you need a lance to go along with your sword, missy?" the leader of the city's militia arrogantly asked her.

"If I may ask, good sir, would you have me hold a wooden sword?"

"Ohohohoho, you're brave enough to fight me with a weapon for training, huh?" the militia leader scoffed. "Very well then, don't come crying to me once I beat you senseless, little girl!"

"Alright, on your positions!" a fellow militia shouted, which was the cue for Lily and the guard leader to take defensive postures and prepare for battle.

"Begin!"

"!!!"

The militiaman, using a training spear, attacked first. Lily quickly parried him with a wooden sword and counterattacked, which was also blocked by her opponent.

"Not bad, missy!" the militia leader smirked. He then gave another shot at her, this time with his spear swirling as he came towards Lily.

Lily knew she was at a disadvantage regarding his reach. She had to close in the distance between them if she didn't want to be beaten to a pulp.

"..."

However, this was not her plan.

"!!!"

The former head maid moved to avoid the spear and attempted to attack her enemy—or at least, that's what she had tried to make it look like. Lily deliberately moved in slowly, carefully rigging her footwork, and giving the militiaman time to chant a spell to blast her away.

"Wind wall!"

"!!!"

Lily's training sword flew off from her hands, and the next moment, she found the militia leader's training spear on her neck.

"Stop!"

And with that, the mock fight ended. Lily was helped by the militiaman back to her feet, and both warriors gave the other their well-deserved salute. Then her papers were handed back to her, and she was allowed in the city of Sekhtem.

Lily was determined to start a new life at this place, where she was virtually unknown. Compared to Colveente, which bordered the Holy Palatial Gardens, the Kingdom of Calabria was a country away from the holy land (Colveente was Calabria's neighbor in the direction nearest the palatial gardens). However, it was still on the mainland of north Chersea, and near enough to be of help to Maddie whenever the need for it arises.
