Packing a load of baggage into his rucksack, Aleist set off from the academy towards the teainst the war event he had recalled a few days ago, Aleist thought he would take up an advanced job Endorsing and tagging along, Rudel cae as he walked behind Aleist

They had taken a carriage froe, but as the temple was on a mountain, they would have to climb it Aleist was short of breath froed on up

But Rudel looked at Aleist and offered a word

”I should've brought so heavier to train too”

”Just to let you know, I' purposes or anything like that! Make light of erous… I was seriously in tears when I cao”

Recalling his self froht his feet to the terace of an advanced job, but without ant proper equiph hell

In-ga equip to himself

”This randiose equipment Just look around Aleist, there are birds I've never seen before”

Walking behind Aleist, Rudel cli quite a bit Seeing Rudel happily spending his tiht

(Why has Rudel cothening events and the like Wait, huh? In that case, does it mean Rudel is already my comrade?)

Feeling so a oals- Aleist continued on towards the temple

Lines of overgrown trees, the cries of birds they could hear frolow of the sun, the two of the a few hoursthat you could perhaps call a temple

That tee it, it looked to Rudel as if it would simply rot away

”This is the te ahat are we supposed to do here, Aleist?”

Aleist put down his bags and sat down on the spot If the inside of the teo, then the whole place would be covered in dust so thick there was no place he could put down his bags and rest

”We receive a prophecy here You just have to wish to rise to a higher stage as you pray If you do, the prophecy shall indicate the path you should go down, and if you want, you can change your class to an advanced job”

”Then I'oon”

”No, dragoon is a special job, so you can't become one here”

”Why!? I don't want to be anything besides a dragoon”

”Again, it's special, so it's ion, you can't becooon”

Rudel seeht he would pray anyways If praying would indicate the path he should treat, he thought it would show hioon

”There's no helping it Then I'll ask what I'oon…”

”Isn't that obvious? You're lacking a dragon… is Dragon really that good? As an occupation, or rather job, it's a bit half-assed, and the way you are, just beco”

Aleist tried asking what had intrigued hiic, swordplay and martial arts, in all fields he was ranked at the top of the academy, and in a simple battle, he was likely first in the acadeht

”… Back when I was son of a deep emerald hue Ever since I saw it, I couldn't help but want one of h the sky Freely soaring… flying with a dragon who'll contract with me is my dream”

Rudel spoke of his dream The dream he held onto from childhood…

”I don't have any dreams I just wanted to have a bit of fun in life When I was a kid, I convinced , and that my future was secure Maybe that's why, I filled my heads with all sort of foolish ideals of heroes and harems”

Aleist felt jealous of Rudel The fact he simply continued to chase the dreaive up was aht On the other hand, he was…

”A harem? My father had a nu at hiht over it, see So about inheritance and such”

”So harems really are most beautiful when left to dreams I've heard women can be scary when push comes to shove…”

Aleist thought a bit Could it be the hareht that, the elf Millia floated up in his head

”I won't deny it if it's your dream, but don't you like Millia?”

”N-no, well I do, but…”

(Millia likes yoooou)
