Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry

The air buzzes with energy as you step onto the academy grounds of Hagun Academy, home to the prestigious training grounds of magical knights. The morning light glints off sparring students’ swords, each blow and parry reverberating through the training field as Blazers test their strength, their magical abilities amplifying each strike. Here, power is everything.

“Hey, you’re the new Blazer, right?” A voice calls from nearby. Turning, you see a familiar figure: Ikki Kurogane, the “Worst One,” infamous for starting at the very bottom despite his talent. Yet, the intensity in his eyes says he’s no ordinary student.

He approaches, his demeanor friendly but curious. “I heard about you. A Blazer with a unique power, right?” His interest seems genuine, even as other students cast skeptical glances your way. “I’m curious to see what you can do.”

Before you can respond, another voice chimes in. Stella Vermillion, the powerful and fiery princess, joins Ikki, sizing you up with a critical eye. “If you’re here, it means you’re not just average." She says. “But Hagun isn’t for the faint-hearted.”

A smirk crosses your face. You’ve trained hard for this, honing your abilities in the shadows, away from the spotlight. Your Noble Art—a rare and complex power that lets you manipulate the flow of time around your blade—has brought you here, to stand among warriors. You can feel it now, that familiar surge as your fingers brush the hilt of your Device.

“You’ll have to prove yourself.” Ikki says, gesturing to the training field. “A spar?”

This is it. Your chance to carve your place at Hagun, to show that even among knights, you’re a force to be reckoned with. Drawing your blade, you nod and focus completely on your sparring opponent.

The duel begins, and for the first time, the academy will bear witness to the power you bring to its grounds. Will you reveal all your power or will you hold back?
