Turning

Turning 7

As the atmosphere became somewhat soft, everyone lined up on their own. Yuder found noticeable red hair not far away. It was Gakane.

He didn’t seem to have found Yuder yet, but it was a little funny for him to keep looking around to find Yuder.

“Here comes the commander. Everybody, stand up straight.”

Finally, the outside was humming and someone stood on the podium in front of the training ground.

Several knights followed him as if escorting him, but only one stood on the platform.

The tall, blond, red-eyed man in a white uniform caught everyone’s attention as soon as he appeared. Just standing there felt like everything was losing its light in an instant.

“Nice to meet you. I am Duke of Peletta, Kishiar la Orr.”

A man who was like the sun. That was the real face of Kishiar la Orr when he did not use metamorphic magic.

All 330 Cavalry members and the Imperial Knights could not take their eyes off Kishiar. He took a light glance around as if to make sure everyone was looking at him.

Yuder saw his red eyes bent so thin that it was hard to mistake as soon as he saw him, but he didn’t show any signs.

“As you can see, I am a member of the imperial family born with the power of light and a duke. But does that mean anything to you all? No, that doesn’t mean anything here.”

Every time Kishiar’s low voice rang in space, it felt as if it were possessed. Only the Imperial Knights were embarrassed.

“I’m just a man awakened by the power of the Red Stone similar to you here. And I’m a little more familiar with it than you are, so I’m just a representative. The banner of the Cavalry is only the safety and strength of the Empire and your own freedom. That’s more than enough. You may not know what that means yet, but I hope you will realize it someday.”

“…”

Beyond the unconventional, everyone shut up at the almost shocking declaration. They couldn’t even hear the sound of breathing.

“That’s it for the inauguration. In the future, we will rent the Imperial Knight’s site for a while until the proper construction of the exclusive building for the Cavalry is completed. If you have any questions, feel free to visit the general manager’s office. That’s all.”

“G-Greetings to the commander.”

The Imperial Knight shouted, unable to hide his embarrassment. New recruits like baby chicks, who had not even learned a salute yet, greeted each other. The knights watched the scene as if it were absolutely terrible and let out a breathtaking sigh.

The only person smiling there was Kishiar la Orr.

“You know the Commander-nim. He’s a very strange man.”

After the shocking inauguration ceremony, the Cavalry members were guided to the temporary accommodation building. Based on their first and second gender, they were divided into four people and lived in one room.

They heard a fairly blunt explanation that they should stay like that until the division of duties within the Cavalry was completed, but no one complained.

It was because they were shocked by Kishiar at the inauguration ceremony, and they were curious to see people like them for the first time in their lives.

“Yuder! You’ve passed the test!”

Yuder saw Gakane who finally found him among the new members, running like a puppy who found its owner.
