小隊中自然也會有隊長,十三班的隊長由佩斯擔任,在訓練過程中負責點名,以及傳達一些事情,登記過後彼此將會分到各自的房間,男女房間分開,因此解散後,安娜便會向大家鞠躬離開回女生宿舍。431Please respect copyright.PENANAGptKJ5FxYR
431Please respect copyright.PENANABpfUOs0ppK
男方宿舍是由五十人為一間房,衛浴設備都是共用狀態,新進人員都是這樣待遇,騎士如同軍隊,在沒有假期,無法隨意出城,就算在城中,也只能在侷限範圍內活動,每天也得接受最嚴酷的訓練。431Please respect copyright.PENANAaMzFewoJcj
431Please respect copyright.PENANAirGVkwirGC
彷彿另類的監獄,確有不同性質。431Please respect copyright.PENANAKQWiZVEnV3
431Please respect copyright.PENANAb21AE7Yawb
騎士的責任只有一個,保護國家、保護家園奉獻自己的生命,因此正規的騎士團,薪資待遇都比一般工作來的高,因為隨時都會陣亡,身驚百戰存活的人都擁有一定的階位與封號,這是光榮的象徵。431Please respect copyright.PENANAqZlULaQzlv
431Please respect copyright.PENANAPzEuVOsl2X
至於志願從軍的人,都是有一定的目標以及一定的信念,而沒有毅力撐過考驗的人,將會在晉級考試中被刷退。431Please respect copyright.PENANAmGd1xQAmQR
431Please respect copyright.PENANAMsNs4UGZZZ
隔天過後,便是訓練的開始,十三班準時的到齊,並且在城中的廣場上開始各班點名,人員到齊後開始訓練。431Please respect copyright.PENANAb28BnD931l
431Please respect copyright.PENANAT9bx7G2p4H
體力則是跑步訓練,每天至少五千公尺,兵器訓練則是每一項都要到達中等的水準,劍、槍、斧、弓、格鬥,五種都必須學會基礎的戰鬥技巧,一對一的模擬實戰訓練。431Please respect copyright.PENANAJWrXje7EF6
431Please respect copyright.PENANAvhYUL0Gynl
兵器保養、基礎戰術、騎馬技術,這些每天從早上五點到晚上十點,不斷的日夜操訓,一天過一天,反覆的進行。431Please respect copyright.PENANA9Llm7J0Zzf
431Please respect copyright.PENANA2WXePUso87
為了鍛鍊精神力,不管什麼天氣,下雨天、大太陽,克勞德城下町城牆外圍的行軍,從不間斷。431Please respect copyright.PENANAsuRPKHhNvO
431Please respect copyright.PENANAXRzIaBdoIb
許多新進騎士都無法承受這種訓練,兩個月之後開始陸陸續續被刷退,簡單說就是不合格。431Please respect copyright.PENANAAXtqeh4YH9
431Please respect copyright.PENANANFaYDM23xT
行軍上跟不上隊伍,訓練期間的小測驗成績陸續漸差者,意志力逐漸消退的人,也會被刷掉,隊伍缺人就會補人,甚至有的抱著來玩心態的新兵,六人隊伍只剩下一人情況都有。431Please respect copyright.PENANAaMIrQ2RAFE
431Please respect copyright.PENANAuwE4ous50O
陸陸續續合併隊伍,開始有八人、九人一組,完整無缺的新兵們,唯獨十三班。431Please respect copyright.PENANAqtFVJzbg4L
431Please respect copyright.PENANAtzZq7tw1dN
佩斯有時候被大家的舉動給驚訝到,表面上雖是一群問題分子,令大家畏懼,訓練期間卻是意外的合作……不能說是合作,而是『互相幫助』。431Please respect copyright.PENANAXoKB4DoVXx
431Please respect copyright.PENANAuPDXnmTbqX
行軍期間,對女性新兵而言是個殘酷的考驗,三天三夜的行軍中,無法洗澡、休息也睡在野外,部分女性很快就被刷退了,還在苦撐的則是十三班的安娜。431Please respect copyright.PENANAGdb8CUYwHJ
431Please respect copyright.PENANAAmlWXYodvt
某一天的大雨天,所有士兵穿著輕裝盔甲以及遮雨的斗篷,安娜突然身體不適癱倒在路上。431Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZxAXo4mXd
431Please respect copyright.PENANAFxl3w3ARaa
「呼……呼……」安娜痛苦倒在地面上。431Please respect copyright.PENANAxYJ0NzyC5k
431Please respect copyright.PENANA24RIEKRHhZ
安娜累倒在路上,面對正規騎士教官、阿魯的眼裡,她已經是被刷退的對象,不只教官這麼認為,一同行軍的新兵都認為『又有一個人被刷退了』這種想法,這其中包括佩斯。431Please respect copyright.PENANAavXm99mX9F
431Please respect copyright.PENANAvrdr8Dtz64
但是……431Please respect copyright.PENANAIOvOcZUnMc
431Please respect copyright.PENANAr0ATuAJ0QW
「振作點!就快到休息的地方了,不能在這裡倒下!」431Please respect copyright.PENANAOv3Gb3vrQk
431Please respect copyright.PENANAiFLkrSFohY
十三班的雷吉直接背起安娜的身體,一步一步的踏穩地面要追上隊伍,但是沉重的行李使得腳步無法順利。431Please respect copyright.PENANAUaFqaqxPoz
431Please respect copyright.PENANAkkBIFSyO2S
「你就背安娜吧,行李我負責。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAK6KDiRQ9qj
431Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9xqp6bp2t
艾爾則是一人背三人份量的行李,讓雷吉將力量背著安娜。431Please respect copyright.PENANATd1HfyLlXi
431Please respect copyright.PENANA9615AQS529
「不用你一個人負責這麼多、拿來吧。」431Please respect copyright.PENANATR8IpHUcWp
431Please respect copyright.PENANAtE2bYSsh5r
就連懶散的拉歐,也幫艾爾拿了一分行李。431Please respect copyright.PENANAxsNR1CLBX8
431Please respect copyright.PENANA9wEfzmAhTv
「喔,謝啦。」艾爾笑笑拍了拉歐的肩膀。431Please respect copyright.PENANAhbBI8IOnkd
431Please respect copyright.PENANAUm0ppoXbxB
「哈哈,我們走吧!」雷吉帶著笑容,背著安娜繼續行軍。431Please respect copyright.PENANAoMJTfOrpY1
431Please respect copyright.PENANABITXrw0zqO
看在佩斯眼裡,心理隱隱的作痛,沒錯阿……十三班是一個團隊,必須互相扶持,不該有任何人掉隊,當安娜倒地那瞬間,佩斯痛恨自己為什麼沒有去幫助她?自私的想法跟放生讓她死有什麼差別?431Please respect copyright.PENANA9Pg2RYcye6
431Please respect copyright.PENANA0r8y4wl32x
教會這一點,不是別人,而是自己的夥伴們。431Please respect copyright.PENANAW9uW7zf5yB
431Please respect copyright.PENANABFhpV7Fz2d
賽蓮表面雖是冷漠,內心卻非常高興,能夠在這樣的隊伍,是件榮幸。431Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5V2sSiJ44
431Please respect copyright.PENANAdqjWTlb4N6
在這一天,安娜還沒恢復體力之前,佩斯跟雷吉互相交換背著走,賽連則是一同分擔行李,有誰需要休息,賽蓮會上前替換。431Please respect copyright.PENANAETUZcT3tK4
431Please respect copyright.PENANAkeYiWCZuey
看在眼裡的阿魯教官,沒有說任何話,也沒任何責備,十三班的表現,無意間影響到其他隊伍。431Please respect copyright.PENANAczMQ7tXyp6
431Please respect copyright.PENANAA9gywRVIqD
意識到團體必須互相幫助,也從這一次行軍之後,在也沒有被刷退的人出現。431Please respect copyright.PENANALD8wJCXXZA
431Please respect copyright.PENANAQihiNXIWck
安娜一直都沒有恢復狀態,行軍途中還發了高燒,艾爾跟賽連互相輪替照顧安娜,其他人幾乎累癱,直到結束後,艾爾跟賽連馬上帶著安娜去了一趟醫務室,雷吉則是累垮回宿舍睡覺,拉歐也一樣,佩斯雖然擔心,身為小隊長有必須處理的事情。431Please respect copyright.PENANAUEvs8xvA23
431Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMeodaajs
向騎士阿魯回報人員狀況,並且懇求不要刷掉安娜。431Please respect copyright.PENANAeGxXTK1oxa
431Please respect copyright.PENANAZgHVF6HYce
「騎士阿魯殿下,請不要刷退安娜。」佩斯將身體九十度鞠躬說著。431Please respect copyright.PENANABJgSr6kDyf
431Please respect copyright.PENANAMpFFreBYdn
誠心誠意的態度,十三班是最重要的夥伴,佩斯冒著風險也要向阿魯肯求431Please respect copyright.PENANA5iNGLKcpEJ
431Please respect copyright.PENANAEveJGHRIBG
看在眼裡的阿魯教官只有微微笑著回應……431Please respect copyright.PENANAtAzzsIukwg
431Please respect copyright.PENANAsXUuPvM6qS
「請你放心,這次突發狀況你們身為小隊的隊員都處理妥當,這是難得可貴,我沒有理由刷掉你們十三班任何一個人,未來多多努力,距離正規騎士的晉級考試只剩下一個月,希望你們都能通過,下去吧。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAg7gMKV1MOF
431Please respect copyright.PENANA5TrcbCG92e
沉穩的聲音,威嚴又帶成熟口吻,一個懂得部屬感受的將軍,深得民眾、騎士們支持,話語中,不帶任何疑惑,肯定的承諾,讓佩斯足以安心離開。431Please respect copyright.PENANAVq2vo3v2Ba
431Please respect copyright.PENANA3AyxxsMsTD
「是,謝謝阿魯殿下!」佩斯用手舉在額頭邊敬禮後,轉身離開騎士長的房間。431Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ7kwOMs5h
431Please respect copyright.PENANAhbkGG6lV4i
佩斯離開房間後,阿魯拿起這次新兵名單,看向六個人的名字。431Please respect copyright.PENANAYi4KIufRXg
431Please respect copyright.PENANAhf4uynu8Ge
「十三班嗎?」兩個多月訓練中從未成員離隊的隊伍,阿魯微笑看著名單。431Please respect copyright.PENANAu6b9XvUpSb
431Please respect copyright.PENANAbdfbyUdmLa
傍晚時分。431Please respect copyright.PENANAaNtwisBl0i
431Please respect copyright.PENANAV5QKCEU8I8
克勞德城堡的醫務室,安娜退燒之後醒來發現身邊有兩名少年,分別是艾爾跟賽蓮。431Please respect copyright.PENANAgkINbmkfgH
431Please respect copyright.PENANA2eJ5fIKhx0
「嗚……這裡是?」迷糊的視線中,安娜試著探索環境。431Please respect copyright.PENANAeqYhvmNRrF
431Please respect copyright.PENANAsIadtSHDeD
「終於醒了嗎?」431Please respect copyright.PENANAD4MGDvhtLn
431Please respect copyright.PENANAdFNsNpiuON
坐在病床旁邊的是賽蓮,艾爾則是在椅子上睡死。431Please respect copyright.PENANAfog6C7E7QY
431Please respect copyright.PENANAgGubsAnx6e
「賽蓮……啊、行軍……我暈倒了,在那之後怎麼樣了?我……」431Please respect copyright.PENANAJm0JnCxa0x
431Please respect copyright.PENANAWJGoEbxJ5y
安娜想起自己因為行軍時候發燒加上疲勞倒在地面上,已經記不清過程,一想到自己可能不合格,驚訝的坐起身。431Please respect copyright.PENANAbB1d3ac00o
431Please respect copyright.PENANAQKLhzqfgat
「冷靜點,現在妳的身體還沒恢復,先躺下吧,我慢慢說給你聽。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAWScviLbGO9
431Please respect copyright.PENANAVrZXKri4Ub
賽蓮雙手搭在安娜雙肩上,並且使力強押安娜的身體躺至在床上,安娜明白賽蓮用意,身體確實只有退燒,無力的狀況還是存在,只好乖乖的躺下休息。431Please respect copyright.PENANAsSRW5HhQ1X
431Please respect copyright.PENANAgXfHEKgLse
隨後賽蓮坐在床邊的椅子上,將過程一一說明給安娜聽。431Please respect copyright.PENANAp4rRxeOxRu
431Please respect copyright.PENANACCmNbEnRpr
「行軍三天,妳在第二天的大雨中昏迷倒下,是雷吉跟佩斯交換背著妳走完全程,過程雖有休息,妳的情況卻不樂觀,艾爾跟我則輪流看顧妳,回到城堡之後便直接將妳帶來醫務室休息,直到現在。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAGLjlXbozw0
431Please respect copyright.PENANAONhWiImnv6
「這樣啊……對不起、給你們添麻煩了……。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAzi9KJOA7gU
431Please respect copyright.PENANAIP6QpJrtPZ
「夥伴之間沒有必要這麼客氣,阿魯教官也沒多說什麼,佩斯也去報告,明天才會得知情況,不過我想無大礙,暫時放心吧。」431Please respect copyright.PENANALcCofoTGRT
431Please respect copyright.PENANA7XXgOUuRwY
聽到賽蓮肯定的答案,安娜也鬆了一口氣,已經撐過兩個月的新兵訓練,只要再撐一個月,就面臨晉級考試,說什麼都不能在這裡被刷退。431Please respect copyright.PENANAiyAaw9wCVT
431Please respect copyright.PENANAvGQIsz7c8V
「呼…………太好了。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAKStFc5c8pq
431Please respect copyright.PENANASEIvhuuEue
「一個女性而言,走到這一步真是不容易,有什麼理由讓妳想成為騎士嗎?」低沉的口吻,詢問內心好奇。431Please respect copyright.PENANAXJI2wyrvhZ
431Please respect copyright.PENANALKxMt0zZuf
氣氛寂靜了幾分鐘的時間,安娜緩緩作起身子,轉頭將視線與賽蓮四目交接,對於照顧的夥伴,安娜不想隱瞞。431Please respect copyright.PENANAAOUxvz8UiR
431Please respect copyright.PENANA9vJdv1qVq0
「其實也沒什麼特別的理由,我的家族『米莉亞斯』過去是相當有權勢的貴族,曾經是國王身邊的忠臣,有著伯爵的地位,但是被我的父親……給糟蹋一切。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAHG8nxGxIfN
431Please respect copyright.PENANAH6rtmEn3D0
安娜的父親,犧牲民眾的人全以及需求,獲得自己最大金錢上的利益,換句話說,就是『貪污』。431Please respect copyright.PENANAcuC5I2slr2
431Please respect copyright.PENANAoHrSkGXIzo
無論是建設案、推行政策的時候,會優先考慮到某些集團、財富龐大的人,建設案挑選便宜的材料、商家,盡可能剩下預算的成本,然後收入自己的口袋中。431Please respect copyright.PENANAbtgDB3Fgj7
431Please respect copyright.PENANARlgAgEDvCe
新的政策會偏袒於某些事業家、財富龐大的財團、集團,讓他們可以非法獲得經濟上的需求,並從中抽取回饋。431Please respect copyright.PENANAD6GWorqbSg
431Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1lKbCPgix
在嚴重的官商勾結的情況下,被國王大臣發現,由於罪刑深重,父親已經被斬首,家庭的收入也全部被騎士團押收,地位也被扒除,米莉亞斯家族一瞬間就落寞了。431Please respect copyright.PENANAgZWj3rnrVP
431Please respect copyright.PENANAJB6YW5NIAG
現在部分知道米莉亞斯的人們,都視為老鼠屎不堪入眼。431Please respect copyright.PENANADfTadXjh3m
431Please respect copyright.PENANApEJF6mHPGj
因此過去分組的時候,沒有人找安娜組對也是這個原因。431Please respect copyright.PENANAhPsku04uyZ
431Please respect copyright.PENANANaEp4R1Jpc
「我的兄弟姊妹都紛紛離開了克勞德王國,現在他們不知去向,生死也不明,而我被我的母親帶回『貧民區』生活,我的母親年紀越來越大,經濟上恐怕出現困難,所以我才想成為騎士,為我的母親生活能夠過好一點……」431Please respect copyright.PENANAvvIc46PsQ8
431Please respect copyright.PENANAXYaMLcjnO9
「順便想復興『米莉亞斯』的榮耀嗎?」431Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDOmjkvI5
431Please respect copyright.PENANA6YWyAhemEo
對於一針見血的賽蓮,那彷彿看透事情的雙眼,讓安娜視線離開賽蓮,低頭看著床單,輕輕點點了頭。431Please respect copyright.PENANADGVvApINRd
431Please respect copyright.PENANAou3GdYgE8q
「啊啊,父親雖然是個無恥的人,但我的母親是個偉大的人,苦撐著日子養育我到現在,就算無法取回過往的榮耀,至少我希望能為我的母親做一點貢獻……,因此我希望能夠成為騎士。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAADn1OFaEA8
431Please respect copyright.PENANA3tHW8Tp5CW
安娜的話語中,帶著微微的哀傷,賽蓮則是默默的回應肯定話語。431Please respect copyright.PENANAjGHThhY5fM
431Please respect copyright.PENANAay3fl4RfsU
「…………妳一定可以的。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAB91EfV5qpK
431Please respect copyright.PENANA4UvevarFot
最後的語言,是肯定安娜下定決心的信念,為了家族、為了母親,安娜選擇這條艱辛的路,賽蓮不再多話,單手輕拍安娜的肩膀,示意好好休息。431Please respect copyright.PENANAP2gGruS8oz
431Please respect copyright.PENANA9Aeqnd4Stc
「多休息吧,我跟艾爾要回宿舍了,明天見。」431Please respect copyright.PENANARUHOn9e1xe
431Please respect copyright.PENANAe7H1ZTQTvS
「謝謝你,願意聽我說這些。」431Please respect copyright.PENANA6AfGH5Fykg
431Please respect copyright.PENANAIcrsToJ8gh
「不會,畢竟是我提問的,晚安。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAtLfZz0TIPk
431Please respect copyright.PENANA9yriQpwdqN
賽蓮走到艾爾身邊,用拳頭輕輕叩艾爾的頭部。431Please respect copyright.PENANAJOfHsndv0D
431Please respect copyright.PENANAtgTKr05Ofe
「艾爾,回宿舍了。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAgVmn2bkZUa
431Please respect copyright.PENANALH6xFLioCC
「恩…………欸?安娜沒事囉?」迷迷糊糊的艾爾睜開眼睛,看向安娜。431Please respect copyright.PENANAHyrbWAquTH
431Please respect copyright.PENANAdmo26At4Rh
安娜看到艾爾睡醒的模樣,微笑示意沒事。431Please respect copyright.PENANA5bGY9RjkUx
431Please respect copyright.PENANA8vLRc0kb4e
「走了。」431Please respect copyright.PENANARaD58NTRq1
431Please respect copyright.PENANAjrzqRYUWFk
「安娜掰掰,好好睡一覺吧。」431Please respect copyright.PENANA5b1IPHYc0E
431Please respect copyright.PENANAACLAaexQn9
艾爾傻里傻氣的揮揮手後,跟著賽蓮背後離開醫務室。431Please respect copyright.PENANAnbStLWmLkE
431Please respect copyright.PENANA7KaJvtA6Lv
*431Please respect copyright.PENANAWyEbGZZsFm
431Please respect copyright.PENANAi7NJeAV8oo
離開沒多久,艾爾走在賽蓮後面,夜晚的城堡特別的寂靜,這個時間除了騎士長跟巡邏的騎士外,其餘人士則進入睡眠的時間。431Please respect copyright.PENANAiMWtATHdyI
431Please respect copyright.PENANA6R27nQsIam
「你剛剛是醒著的吧?安娜說到一半時,我就感覺你已經醒了。」賽蓮背對著艾爾說著。431Please respect copyright.PENANAtFIjXcAgPS
431Please respect copyright.PENANAdYcOUBWdM3
「抱歉,因為找不到時機好醒,只好等你來叫我囉。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAQoQtQl77fo
431Please respect copyright.PENANA3GvoMapAZ9
「是嘛……。」431Please respect copyright.PENANA2AQb6XkOZq
431Please respect copyright.PENANAgWFmKcxv3e
「是啊。」431Please respect copyright.PENANA5kBqeW74PN
431Please respect copyright.PENANAfx3bCori7B
「你不好奇嗎?」431Please respect copyright.PENANAVStOBPZeeT
431Please respect copyright.PENANAo9hCamCe8a
「沒有什麼好奇的,不管大家是何種身分,何種動機,目標都是一樣的,既然如此,就沒有那個必要,因為我們是夥伴,等到願意說出口那一天,在好好聆聽就足夠了,無論是你還是我。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAgoHPBtlk6g
431Please respect copyright.PENANAZSqJWVDIlo
對於艾爾認真的話,賽蓮停下腳步回身看望一眼。431Please respect copyright.PENANAa7O5vOyvxd
431Please respect copyright.PENANAnafkuGraKa
「有時候真覺得,你認真說出來的話,總是中肯的,真令人不可思議。」431Please respect copyright.PENANAGT85cfs33c
431Please respect copyright.PENANAAWI0hD9Sc8
「說的我很隨便一樣,我偶爾該認真時會認真的人。」431Please respect copyright.PENANA4V68W4uqb2
431Please respect copyright.PENANAcz9VCcsdhQ
「呵……。」賽蓮輕輕笑了一聲,便回頭向宿舍前往。431Please respect copyright.PENANARtEbCTLZNY
431Please respect copyright.PENANAuKjIUJcAVh
艾爾則是停下腳步轉了方向,朝著城堡的中庭走去,兩人便在這裡分開,各有各的行動。431Please respect copyright.PENANAA4sLqrbFlH
431Please respect copyright.PENANAZLBWuYPbVy
賽蓮知道……431Please respect copyright.PENANA3aiUSLjUhw
431Please respect copyright.PENANAcKCU7oRXb8
這個時間點,是艾爾的獨自訓練時間,看到艾爾往中庭方向前去,不用多言,自己則默默的回宿舍。431Please respect copyright.PENANARst5NSacuc
