Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 2 Chapter 2

2013-01-23T16:42:37Z

KID2NR: /* Part 1 */

{{Incomplete}}

==Chapter 2 - Ironblood Valkyrie==
===Part 1===
The following morning, Ash was having his ecology class.

As usual, Eco in her uniform also attended the class, but the since the class lecture is too abstruse…...

"Huff…... puff ......"<ref>Sound of snoring.</ref>

She was fast asleep on the table.

"……In another words, Strada’s element is wind, Asia’s element is wind/earth, and Hydra’s element is water."

The one standing on the lectern lecturing all the students is Professor Angela. She has an unusual concern about Eco as a
researcher, Ash did not wish to let her gain opportunities to approach Eco…...

"Well, what is the Maestro’s element?"

Angela questioned with a stern tone, and her eyes fell on the name list.

"This question….. let's have Princess Silvia answer it."

Even she had been called out by Angela, Silvia just gazed blankly outside the window.

"Princess? What’s the problem?"

Angela continued to question her, but Silvia remains silent.

"Geez……. Jessica Valentine, please answer."

"Yes!"

Jessica who was named stood up from her seat energetically.

"A Maestro’s element is light."

Jessica proudly replied, but Angela sneered back.

"Correct answer…... although I would like to say that, unfortunately I can only give you half the marks. A Maestro’s element is
light, but not only that, Maestros also completely inherit the element that it is born with. In another words, A Maestro who is once
a Strada has both light and wind elements……”

"Hey, Ash. Is anything wrong with the Princess?"

Raymond who was not paying attention to Angela’s explanation asked Ash.

Ash sighed.

"She...... Since she hears that the ‘Ironblood Valkyrie’ is coming to Ansarivan, she always seems to be distracted. Looks like she
had received a great impact…..."

Raymond seems confused.

"‘Ironblood Valkyrie’ is the Princess’s elder sister by blood, right? What possible impact could she receive from that message?"

"About this, I’m not sure......"

"Do the two of you need my explanations?"

Suddenly someone interrupted their conversation. Ash was shocked.

“Cosette? Why are you here?"

Cosette was sitting obediently in an empty seat, and she was also wearing the standard uniform for maids who are servicing the
royals. It Was hard to not notice her.

"Hehehe. Her Royal Highness Princess is dispirited, I must guard her quietly from the shadows. I also have received the permission
from Angela-sensei."

"You call this quietly from the shadows...... However, I really do care about the reason that she is suffering."

"You are concerned about her as her classmate? Or as a man?"

Ash suddenly felt his cheeks turn hot.

"Y-You, what are you talking about! Princess and I had fought alongside as comrades and we are both members of the Student Council.
It's normal that I’m concerned about her."

"Are you sure? Then I take it that you are telling the truth. Hehe."

Cosette, after her mischievous smile, jumped back into the topic.

"Her Royal Highness Veronica is a well-known warrior. She has a militant-like attitude, which is also the reason that Princess is
forced to do a lot of training when she was young."

“The training, are they tough?"

"In fact…... I’m not exaggerating if I say she is living in hell every day. The Princess not only had been pushed into lakes, she
was also sent to the ruins to do exploration, climbing the city wall, or brought to well-known haunted forests to learn to survive
in the wild...... "

Ash is dumbfounded.

"I think that is plain bullying......"

"Incidentally, I play the role of the ghost in the forest."

"Come on! How come you are also one of the culprits!?"

Perhaps Silvia's timid side is because of Veronica (and Cosette)…... Ash thought so.

"Because of the shadow of her childhood, Her Royal Highness Veronica has become a symbol of terror in the eyes of the
Princess......”

"I see…..."

Leaving alone her violent attitude, it seems that Veronica has a lot of personality problems. Ash, as one of the Student Council
members, must greet this downright "difficult"<ref>I’m not sure whether such language is use in your country but the original
translation is difficult and in my country we use such jargon.</ref> Princess no matter what.

Just by imagining it, Ash had a headache.

Raymond muttered grin:

"The title ‘Ironblood’ is not just for show. However, Ash...... I also like woman who are strong."

"Don’t you worry. I won’t even care what kind of girl you like…..."

"….. Strada, Asia and Hydra…... what conditions do they require in order to become a Maestro?"

Even when Ash is troubled, Angela’s lesson, of course, will not be interrupted.

"Ash, please answer this question."

"What? Me?"

Rather abruptly named, Ash appear to feel embarrassed.

Angela's sight was as sharp as a scalpel. Just by being stared by her, the feeling was like lying on the operation table waiting to be butchered.

On the other hand, that dangerous glare, at the same time, seems to fall on Eco, who is sleeping.

Ash spine shuddered. From his seat he silently stood.

“Uh-h…... I don’t know."

"Correct."

"I'm sorry ... what? Correct?"

Angela revealed a playful smile.

"That’s right. About the reasons the dragons transforming into a Maestro, there are different opinions among scholars; the truth has
yet to be found out."

Angela closed the textbook and looked around the students.

"However, the old record shows that all dragons will eventually become a Maestro naturally. Although from the verge of extinction
the number of Maestros dropped significantly, but logically each dragon should qualify to become a Maestro."

The students immediately turned into quite a storm.

It was also the first time that Ash heard about it.

"That is why the existence of a Breeder had become a problem. Why now in the modern times, dragons that died before they become
a Maestro had become the Majority...... perhaps, the key factor of becoming a Maestro is in the hands of a Breeder."

The school bell that announced the class dismissal sounded at this time.

Silvia, under Cosette's assistance, shakily leaves the classroom, while Ash had an uneasy feeling.

"Princess is alright, right......?"

There are six more days before Princess Veronica’s visit……

Even though Silvia still can’t calm down, the days of Princess Veronica’s visiting is nearing.

Why did Veronica choose this period to visit Ansarivan?

"Officially 'This visit is to inspect the Ansarivan City which was under attack'", but according to the rumour, Veronica is a
representative of the Royal Knight’s Hawks.<ref>骑士王室鹰派 lit. "Hawks Branch of the Royal Knights".</ref>

To be inspecting should be a cover. The true reason was to investigate the condition of the city and the strength of the
Necromancia-this was Rebecca’s point of view.

In fact, Veronica had been involved in the strife between races all across the continent and she has the experience of stopping the
war.

It is said that she was only twelve years old during her first expedition.

Even though she is not selected to become a Breeder, Veronica, who needed to overcome her congenital condition which put her at a
disadvantage, was extremely powerful and braver than anyone on the battlefield.

She led the way and charged forward, chopping down the enemy mercilessly one by one.

There is a rumour that whenever Veronica swung her sword, three heads were sent flying through the air at the same time.

Wise and strong.

Victorious and never been at a disadvantage.

There is no swordsman whose skill is on par with her.

Veronica became famous after she killed a basilisk <ref>(バシリスク Bashirisuku) - Giant lizards, can only be controlled by members of
the Tantalos Tribe. Said to be the cousins species of the dragons.</ref> with her sword alone. Even poets turned her achievement into poetry.
Basilisks were big, violent lizards. Others see it as the next of kin of an Asia.

The famous Veronica was given the nickname ‘Ironblood Valkyrie’ by the people.

According to Rebecca, once the people heard Veronica is coming to Ansarivan, people suddenly frowned.

Veronica, in order to extinguish the flames of war in the continent, heroically fought in the war in her teens. However she had also indirectly become the cause of problems.

Veronica unconsciously made a lot of enemies.

The remnants of the rebels still wanted to take Veronica’s life. It was not surprising that she would be assassinated at any given time.

Just right after the attack of the Necromancia, another difficult task was received. Anyone can tell that the chief of Ansarivan is now in trouble.

KID2NR: /* Part 4 */

{{Incomplete}}

==Chapter 1 - Silver Knight==
=== Part 1 ===

Have you heard of it before?

Recently, a hero succeeded in preventing the monster called Necromancia from destroying the city of Ansarivan. According to witnesses, the hero seems dressed in silver-colored Ark<ref>聖騎甲（アーク） Āku, lit. "Holy Rider Armor") - An unique set of armour Ark-Dragners receive from their Maestro.</ref>.

If not for the hero, the city probably already had been in ruins. The worst possible situation is maybe the whole district…err no, it will not be surprising if the whole Ansarivan city is razed to the ground.

However, so far no one there knew the hero’s true identity.

As he was dressed in an Ark, he must be an Ark-Dragner.

His purpose is not to show off his skills and he does not ask anything for a reward.

Ahh!!! He is such a honorable and noble person! The Knight of all Knights can’t be anyone apart from him!

So let's call him 'Silver Knight'.

From here on, we gradually announce the establishment of the SKFC (Sliver Knight Fan Club)!

Anyone interested in becoming a member is always welcome!

SKFC kaichou<ref>''Kaichou'' means "president" in Japanese. I leave it there because this is a notice and it looks funny when it is written in the English form.</ref> Jessica Valentine (Advanced Course first year).

===Part 2===

"... So this is your first piece of errand?"

Ash felt Eco looking at him from his back so he turned around and nodded in response.

"Yeah, since I’m in charge of General Affairs.

There is a big bulletin board facing the staff room at the corridor of the ground floor of the campus. The surfaces of the board are fully disorganized and there are some unauthorized posters. Ash feels dizzy looking at it.

Just right after the official ceremony had ended, Ash immediately received an order from Rebecca.

During the school’s free time, the girls’ dormitory seems to have established an organization named SKFC. There was a rumor that the posters used for recruiting members are plastered everywhere on campus.

Any absurd acts like this which are not recognized by the Student Council cannot be left alone.

To remove all the unauthorized posters-must be Ash's first errand as the Student Council’s General Affairs chief.

The afternoon courses were going to start in thirty minutes. To make time for the precious lunch break, Ash angrily tears off the posters.

"You're hopeless<ref>The original word is (真是的). It has no direct translation. It is used to express dissatisfaction or annoyance.</ref>! Who does the Student Council think they are! First of all, I’m your rightful owner, right? So who allowed you to take orders from outsiders other than me?!"

"I think you had switched our stands. I'm your owner... Anyway, why are you here?!"

Only by now, the dense Ash in amazement.

There will be classes that must be attended after the ceremony, so they separated in the boys' dormitory. Eco just talked with her usual tone, so Ash, without any hesitation, started to chat with her.

"Where is Cosette? Didn't I remind you that during my lesson time, you have to look for her?"

"You-u ...... you still haven't figured it out yet? You really are dense to the extreme!"

Eco puffed her cheeks and turned around in front of Ash.

Her skirt flipped up in midair, revealing a pinkish white thigh.

Looking at Eco’s delicate and charming appearance, Ash’s heart cannot help but skip a beat. Then, he finally noticed the difference.

Eco is not wearing her usual casual wear, but a school uniform.

"Just a moment! Why are you wearing our school uniform?"

"Cosette knew I want to look around the school, so she lended it to me."

"Oh, what a nice person Cosette is…WAIT! This school is for dragon breeders! Why you, a dragon is here?!"

"I'm just very interested and want to know what are the things that you are doing in this school. Cosette told me that I won’t need to worry about being found out while wearing this dress."

Cosette's devilish smile vividly emerged in Ash’s mind.

“Then, when is the lesson is going to began?”

"You also intend to attend class!?"

"Hmph, I just want to attend class! And you are not allowed to give opinions!"

"Thunk<ref>Sound of stomping.</ref>!" She stomped with a menacing manner and she straightened her chest.

"...... alas."

It seems that Eco had already made up her mind and nothing made her think twice.

Ash can only miserably continue to tear up those “eyesore” posters.

===Part 3===

When the bell rang, Ash and Eco were still in the corridor at the ground floor.

“Gosh! Now we need to rush to class!”

Ash ran while dragging Eco behind him.

"You shouldn't be hasty in front of a noble Dragon!"

This afternoon there is a scheduled lesson on Oracle<ref>竜媒魔法（オラクル） Orakuru, no translation for it. Literally means "Magic Dragon Medium".</ref>. This course is a compulsory subject specified by the Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy.

Dragons regularly secrete a type of crystal with magic, called Bright Dragon Crystals<ref>竜輝華晶 Ryūki-kashō </ref>

Through the Bright Dragon Crystal, the Oracle can be activated. Today it is widely used by humans who do not have magic as light and heat source in daily life.

"Anyway... I have not seen you secrete a Bright Dragon Crystal."

There are many breeders who bring have their pal’s Bright Dragon Crystal with them.

That is not only a proof of their good relationship with their pal, but also acts as a talisman. When they ran into a dangerous situation, it can be used as a medium to activate their oracle.

Unexpectedly, Ash inadvertently made Eco blush.

"Sha<ref>A sound used of scolding people.</ref>!... You better be careful or I will crush you! How can I casually expose those shameful things in front of others!"

Ash cannot help but be surprised for a moment.

"Shameful? How shameful can it be?"

"Th-Those downright low things...How can I even be speaking of it!"

"Low? Bright Dragon Crystals are formed when excess magic crystallize(?) Even when seen, I think it is no big deal….!!! "

"You haven’t seen other dragons secrete their Bright Dragon Crystal before, right?"

"Who says so!? I ''have'' seen!"

Ash calmly replied.

"What!"

Eco looks like she felt a heavy blow, just like a thunderstrike.

"How could there be such shameless Dragons!"

"Anyhow, this is a Dragon Riding Academy. Those incidents are quite common."

Eco stood still in disbelief.

"What you said... is it really the truth?"

"Mmm, it is the truth. For some dragons, as long as you ask them, they would generously secrete it for you. Or else after the practical skill lessons, you can see that it is all over the field."

"Su-Such a thing could even be happening! The blame should be put on the stupid and ignorant humans who tame the dragons. Now the moral standards of a dragon have dropped this low. This situation is really serious... we dragons have undergone degradation."

"You too had overestimated this problem! Is it really that serious?”

“The secretion of it from a human request, or secrete it anywhere... It's pretty outrageous! Although I do not deny that I inevitably will run into the kind of really intolerable situation. At least carelessly become incontinence<ref>To those who don’t know it means unable to restrain natural discharge of urine or feces.</ref>..."

“Incontinence? Why do you use this word to describe? In the end, Bright Dragon Crystals are actually... "

Ash felt a chill in his heart.

Because of Eco accidentally slipping it out from her mouth. He would been happier if he had not heard the facts that he didn't need to.

-- ''Can I calmly face Bright Dragon Crystals in the future......?''

Ash stared blankly at Eco.

Perhaps she had a misunderstanding, Eco angrily shouted:

"I, I will not incontinence!"

===Part 4===

Both of them hastily rushed to the second magic lecture room and found out that Angela-sensei has not yet arrived.

Students in the classroom are chit-chatting excitingly.

Ash suddenly lost all his might, but this is a lucky outcome for him.

Dr. Angela Cornwell, who has an authority on the research of dragons, has shown a strong interest in the young dragon Eco.

Recently, Ash and Eco suffered quite a lot because Angela.

If they were carelessly late for class... she may have taken the opportunity to trouble them and then sternly order them go directly into the dissection room.

Ash looked around, he intend to look out his friends.

At this moment, his eyes fell upon Silvia.

Silvia, all alone on her own, was sitting at the side beside the wall.

Because of her royal family background and insubordinate personality, she was unable to make friends.

Although she received the warm applause from all the students in the morning ceremony which is a rare sight, but to be able to blend into the life of other students, things like this do not happen overnight.

Last month because of some unpredictable events, Ash felt his relationship with Silvia had become closer.

-- ''I should try to sit beside her...''

Just as Ash was trying to do this brave act.

“Oi!”

Suddenly someone pulled his sleeve, he was shocked and his thoughts return to reality.

"Eco... is there anything?"

"That's my line! What are you doing staring blankly?"

"No-nothing... I wasn't in a daze.”

Ash quickly removed his sight from Silvia.

Eco immediately showed an unhappy expression.

It's probably because she saw his attention towards Silvia just now. However, what was the reason for her to be upset?

Just when Ash's mind is fully confused, his good-for-nothing friend<ref>Original word is (损友). When translated it means "bad friend". But there are wider meanings that can also be used to say useless friend or used sarcastically toward those close friends who are mischievous which is in this case.</ref> Raymond Kirkland raised his hand.

"Yo, Ash, this way!"

Raymond had occupied the seat at the last row beside the window, which is the best place to avoid the teacher’s sight.

"Angela-sensei has not arrived yet."

"This period was changed to homeroom! Looks like the staff meeting this afternoon had extended... Well, that is not important."

For Raymond, when he saw beautiful girls such as Eco, he instantly has a shortness of breath.

“Eco is here too! This morning’s ceremony you are really cute……Gawk Pug<ref>sound of being hit while talking </ref>."

After suffering a straight punch from Eco, Raymond's face looked like he was going to heave.

Ash quickly stops her from behind.

"Hey…Hey… What are you doing? Hitting random people!"

"... I just don't know why? I just get mad when I see him."

In the end, Ash had to separate both of them by sitting between Raymond and Eco.

"Hey, Ash...... what’s the situation right now?"

After enduring an iron fist, Raymond immediately sprang back to life and questions Ash.

"Can't you see this with your own eyes? Of course she came here by force."

"She also looks nice in a uniform.... Are you really sure you don't want to have an exchange with my Brigid?"

Seeing Raymond’s perverted expression, Ash can only shake his head and sigh.

"Do you want to be squashed to death by Brigid? Say, how come I didn't see Max?"

Right until now, Ash only noticed that Maximillian Russell, who is supposed be beside Raymond, was gone.

"Ohh, Max should be busy tearing the posters, right?"

“Ehh-Eh?”

Max is a proud member of the Student Council, he is a secretary there. But to be removing illegal posters, it is fair to say that this is not a part of his job.

"You also know his personality, right?"

"Ha ha ... it's hard not to imagine it."

Ash finally figured it out.

Max very serious about hygiene. For example, when he saw someone look lightly messy, he would very much like to clean them. He has a personality where ‘his eyes cannot tolerate even a dust particle’ which causes others to have headaches. So naturally, he must interfere with the business of those illegal posters.

"Also, Raymond, there is something I've wanted to ask you."

"Anything?"

Ash, staring at Raymond's confusing face, threw him a question that he doubted since that morning:

"The ‘Silver Knight’. What is it, actually?"

“What? Are you kidding me?"

Raymond suddenly raised his voice, shocking Ash.

The students around them cast curious looks at them.

Raymond, after an unnatural cough to clear his throat, whispered into Ash’s ear.

"You-u... the poster above has stated clearly, didn’t it? The ‘Silver Knight’ is the hero who protected this town and avoided it from being destroyed by the Necromancia’s attack. To summarize it……"

Raymond lowers down his tone, and says the decisive words:

"It's you!"

"Eeh……me!? It's me? Why?"

Ash became dumbstruck and gazed at Raymond’s snappily stinking face.

"Because you're the one who actually beat the Necromancia!"

"The problem is… Am I suitable to have a stylish name such as the ‘Silver Knight’? Anyway…who is the one responsible for creating this title?!"

"This name is adapted from a novel. A shoujo novel called ''The Sky Dragon Knight Chronicles'', the protagonist is also known as the ‘Silver Knight’. Really popular among the girls."

"Oh......"

"From the eyewitnesses' testimony, at St. Durham<ref>(聖ダーラム) Durham is a city in northeast England.</ref> Square, the Dragner who rode Necromancia has an Ark. His coolness seems to be identical to the ‘Silver Knight’ in the story.

“That time the armour Eco created indeed is silver in colour..."

"No need to worry. Fortunately the academy has suppressed this information, only a few people know that the knight is you."

Raymond strangely felt a bit jaunty.

"If the secret is exposed... I don't know what will happen."

Raymond nonchalantly replied to Ash's question.

"Perhaps you'll run into your first and at the same time your last romantic encounter. I heard that during the school holidays the SKFC members exceeded a hundred people!"

"Is it true?!"

When Ash could not help shouting out loud...

"What Raymond said may not be a joke!"

The owner of the voice behind Ash is Max.

Max with his nervous appearance is the same like always. Compare to Ash and others who appear to look untidy even with their uniform, he always tidies himself up just like a newly-enrolled student.

Underneath Max’s armpit are a stack of posters. Judging from the thickness, there are at least more than one hundred.

"I can't stand this any longer. These people really know how to create trouble."

Standing in the middle of Ash and Raymond, Max sighed deeply.

"However since the SKFC has been locked on by Rebecca, they better be careful. Things like this will soon come to an end, right? Moreover, this type of activity is impossible to maintain for a while."

After Ash optimistically expressed his opinion, Max immediately stared sharply at him through his glasses.

"Wh-Why are you looking at me?"

"It appears that you still don't know what situation you're in. Listen, currently it has been confirmed that there is a big chance that the ability of a Breeder will be passed on to the next generation. The next ‘Silver Knight’ is powerful enough to defeat that Necromancia. Moreover, he is also equipped with an Ark, which also proved that he is an Ark-Dragner."

"…... So?"

Max, just like Raymond, lowered his tone.

"Just in case someone knew that you are the ‘Silver Knight’…... the SKFC will do everything in their might to win your sperm.

"Since when was I a breeding horse<ref>(種馬) ''Taneuma''. Direct translation is breeding horse but it means a breeding medium or tool.</ref>?"

"Stay cool. The SKFC members are originally Breeders. If they bear the child of the Silver Knight, there will be a great chance that the child will become an Ark-Dragner like his father. Though because of Xenoglavia’s<ref>(ゼノグラヴィア戦争) ''Zenoguravia-sensō''. This name is from Kleeyook I cannot find any reference for this name do tell me if anyone knew.</ref>War, the young people who intend to become a Dragner are decreasing...... but when it comes to an Ark-Dragner it's at a whole new level."

Despite how others listen it seems to be a joke, but Max was speaking with a serious expression.

"If that being the case, I'll help you no matter what the reason is. I can't stand the Ash who has luck with the girls!"

"Raymond, it seems that we need to have a talk."

"No, I agree with what Raymond is saying."

"Not you too, Max!"

"Otherwise, you don't mind the SKFC knowing your secret?"

Ash became speechless.

"Well, I...... of course, I don’t want them to know. Become popular with the girls with those impure motives has nothing to be happy about."

"Hmm, I'm not really satisfied."

Eco suddenly snappily grumble.

"To be honest, the reason you can defeat the Necromancia is because of the Ark I created? But the one in the spotlight is only the knight…… that's why I always say humans are stupid and ignorant beings!"

“What Eco said is absolutely right."

Just when they are busy chit chatting with Max……

"Sorry for my interruption my fellow students!"

The classroom door suddenly opened with a "Bang!" A group of girls dressed in the academy's uniforms started to fill up the classroom.

The sudden progress made the students speechless. Everyone’s attention is focused on the suspicious group.

There was a total of about twenty people.

The suspected leader of the group of girls stepped forward onto to lectern and her eyes swipeed past the classroom.

Ash couldn’t help but stare at her.

The girl’s gesture has a temperament of nobility in it.

Her orange-yellow elegant curly hair lay in front of her chest. Her slender eyes emitted rays of sparks as if an emerging raging fire.

"I'm the President of the SKFC, Jessica Valentine!"

After announcing her name, Jessica, with an elegant aura, looked at the students around her.

"Those who have seen our posters, I think you had already knew our aim, right? That's right, we're looking for ‘Silver Knight’-sama. That day during the Necromancia’s attack, it to be the school’s off days, we deduced that there should be a lot of students who happen to be wandering at St. Durham Square the combat scene. Now maybe that this classoom may have one or two witnesses……"

"Don’t you think you're asking too much<ref>Original word is过分, is used colloquially to express exasperation of someone is being unreasonable or bothersome.</ref>?"

Silvia, with a courageous and serious voice, interrupted Jessica’s speech.

"Oh my, I thought who will it be, and it turn out to be Oujo<ref>(王女) ''Ōjo'', "Princess".</ref>-sama."

Jessica's response made Silvia’s face turn black.

"I'm not speaking to you as the Princess, but as the Student Council’s disciplinary member who is now giving you a warning! Have you not found out that you are destroying the school's discipline?!!!"

"Ha! Since you're talking to me as a Princess, then I won’t be branded as disrespectful when I argue with you, right?

Jessica's choice that did not intend make any concessions had surprised others.

"Do you think your behaviour as acceptable?"

"The school’s discipline compared to my ‘desire’ is simply nothing!"

"Well, if that's the case, might you speak out your ambition? I'm all ears."

Jessica, like she had already prepared for this, immediately raises her chest and say:

"I want to give birth to ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s children!"

An awkward type of silence suddenly enveloped the entire classroom.

Everyone obviously are feeling disgusted with her direct declaration.

Even Silvia was also stunned speechless.

Finally, a student with low profile who is one of the followers broke the silence.

"President! Your speech had violated club regulation article one hundred and twenty-seven!"

"Hmm…... As expected of Vice-President Lynette-san. Good job noticing. Please allow me to withdraw my previous declaration."

“Withdrawal of declaration has been confirmed!"

After he had listened to Jessica and Lynette who were speak annoyingly rhythmically, Ash muttered:

"Th-That rumour......"

Raymond tried to pacify his concern for Ash:

"Carelessly resisting is suicidal, Ash. I heard that the Valentine Family is a traditional noble family."

Facing Raymond’s smile, Eco started to speak out loud:

"Oh, I really can’t stand those people any longer. The true face behind 'Silver Knight' is……"

"W-Wa-Wait, Eco!"

Ash quickly covers her mouth from behind.

"Mmm -!"

Eco is struggling with all her limbs. In the eyes of others, this situation is like Ash is hugging her from behind, not wanting to let go. Her body's tenderness and lovely feel made Ash blush, but still he must not let go.

It is rare that the school is helping me in controlling the information? If my identity is revealed in a place like this, all their hard work will go to waste.

"Back to the topic, Princess Silvia, it is true that we are making a list of people who are present at the incident."

"So……?"

"Princess, your name is also on top of our list. Maybe you had already know the true identity of ‘Silver Knight’-sama, am I right?"

“Y-You. What are you talking about?!"

It seems that the straightforward character of Silvia is not good at lying.

Silvia was obviously shaken when Jessica hit the bull’s eye.

It is a lie if she says she didn’t know, because that time the one riding with her on Lancelot is actually the ‘Silver Knight’.

"Hey…... Ash? It seems the situation has gotten worse."

When Raymond is warning him, Ash has already stood up and came to Silvia’s rescue.

"Miss. I’m sorry, but now is still the school hours."

The crowd’s attention immediately falls on Ash.

Silvia also looked at Ash with a surprising expression. Perhaps this is an illusion, but it seems that she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I remember that you are the Student Council’s……"

Ash mercilessly interrupted Jessica.

"Can you please leave the classroom immediately? Don't interrupt us in our lesson time."

The classroom fell silent.

Ash's determination caused the entire student body to gasp.

Unexpectedly, Jessica didn’t back down.

In contrary, she is also smiling.

Compared with undisguised expression, the kind of smile was even scarier.

"Your name is Ash, right? A guy with no obvious achievements, but still allowed to join the Student Council…... Hey, Vice-President Lynette? His name is on the list of people who were at St. Durham Square, isn’t it?"

Lynette, like she had memorized the whole list without any hesitation, answered immediately:

"......Ash Blake, advanced course first year. Someone actually confirmed that he show up near St. Durham Square!"

After hearing Lynette’s report, cold sweats emerged from Ash’s body.

"Speaking of this, people call you 'The Boy who can Ride any Dragon'. Could it be…....that you had possibly managed to ride the Necromancia?”

"……!"

A sudden hit at the bull’s eye made Ash speechless.

"It's just that ‘Silver Knight’-sama is a noble Ark-Dragner, and you…... are nothing but simply just a Breeder who is a nobody. People like you simply cannot be compared to ‘Silver Knight’-sama! Oh Hohoho!"

Fortunately Jessica just laughed at that thought. She would never have expected she is at the grasp of the truth.

"Not to mention your Pal ...... hee hee, it's funny just by thinking at it. She turned out to be a child. Even this morning's ceremony has a really fantastic finish."

"Wh-What did you say……!"

After hearing Eco, naturally she would be angrily and want to stand up to refute, but……

"You!!! Don’t interrupt."

Ash immediately reached out to stop her.

"Who do you think you are......"

Although she feels reluctantly, Eco shut her mouth.

All the SKFC members are trembling under the pressure of Ash’s aura.

Although Ash is now a member of the Student Council, in the past he is no other but the infamous 'Number One Problem Child’.

And it is not a name given for nothing.

Jessica is also no different; she is the only one who is showing no sign of fear.

"Ash, stay calm! She's a noble!"

Raymond give a out loud warning but Ash is not bothered by it.

"What is a noble to me when I even challenged a Princess!!!!!!"

"Ahh ... You're right, I totally forgotten all about it ......"

Raymond looks into the distance with a crestfallen expression.

"How dare you insult my Pal......? What is the meaning of this? If you want to apologise, it's better that you do it right now."

"Hah<ref>An insulting sound.</ref>! You are but a commoner and you dare to order ''me'' around!"

Ash and Jessica.

Each refused to back down and stared at each other directly.

Just when the tension reached its climax……

The classroom door is suddenly slammed open.

"So…... I see that you have been wandering around here, Jessica."

All the people in the classroom are attracted toward the overwhelming presence, everybody stay silent.

The one and only exception is Jessica.

“Rebecca! Y-Y……You stay out of my way! "

Jessica unexpectedly never shown any weakness even when the opponent is Rebecca.

"He-Hey, the girl called Jessica…... she really have some nerve? She actually dared to address Rebecca by her first name."

Raymond, opposite of the speechless, Ash calmly pulled out his notepad and make a quickly flip.

"According to my information network…... both of them seem to be childhood friends who grew up in the same hometown."

"You're still the same, never let loose any girl's information."

"Hmm…... you're wrong, Ash. It's limited to 'cute girls' only, okay?"

Raymond laughed proudly at his own works while Rebecca and Jessica's argument still continued.

"I would like to throw the question back to you, Rebecca, why are you here at 'this place'?"

"I come here to notify the members of the Student Council…... It seems that you still with the same stupidity, Jessica."

"You've come at just the right time? Everyone listen carefully!!! The Student Council is controlling the information of the St. Durham Square attacks, we have confirmation! The Student Council took all the trouble to cover up what? Does it imply that the
Student Council had long ago knew ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s identity?"

"Even if it is the truth, I am not obligated to tell you at all. I suggest you to remember your duty as a student?"

"I have no intention of disturbing the class. I just simply urged everyone here to help us collect ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s information!"

"You're still the same, full of nonsensical reasoning......"

"I, the representative of the SKFC, request the Student Council to reveal that information to the public!"

After Jessica’s tenacious declaration. Rebecca gave a frightening expression.

"......At the beginning I don’t want to give you trouble because you are my childhood friend, but I seems that I need to deal with this with another way."

Under the sight of her fierce-looking eyes, Jessica felt that she was going to surrender and back off.

In the eyes of Ash, it seems that Rebecca’s back is full of red glowing aura.

"Wha-What…... the Student Council President even tried to use force to solve problems……"

Jessica can not help but shrink and take a few steps backwards.

"Too bad. To think that I even bothered to treat you nicely."

Rebecca, with a graceful smile, whispered into the ears of Jessica.

"Yikes!"

Jessica immediately starts sweating, her back unnaturally bent.

Jessica headed down and rush out of the classroom. The Vice-President, Lynette, and the other SKFC members quickly scattered.

"Right. Silvia of Disciplinary Affairs, Treasurer<ref>the original can mean treasurer and accounts but still I think CFO is better :).</ref> Max, and Ash of General Affairs. The three people mentioned, please report to the Student Council’s office immediately. An emergency meeting is to be held. That is all."

After Rebecca had informed the others, she left.

"An emergency meeting ... is something wrong?"

Ash asked out, but Max is equally confused.

"The President came personally to inform you, she but also choose to do it during lesson time...... certainly it is no simple matter."

Raymond, between Ash and Max, with a rare worrisome look murmured and grumbled.

"I’m so lonely. I didn't expect that even Ash had joined the Student Council…... Damn, why am I the only one left out?"

"Raymond ......"

"Fortunately, I still have Eco! Hey Eco, why don’t the two of us alone go to have a cup of tea……? Gawk!"

With her superhuman strength, her iron fist knocked Raymond away.

"You shut up! Obviously, I'm a member of the Student Council…... The woman dare not to mention my name and choose to ignore a noble Dragon? I will not forgive her!"

After Ash glanced at Raymond who is sticking on the wall, he tried to speak a few words to calm down Eco:

"You are their 'mascot'. So you don't have to attend any meetings."

"Nothing to do with me?! Since you all wounded the pride of a Dragon, I will attend no matter what!"

Eco cried.

KID2NR: /* Part 4 */

{{Incomplete}}

==Chapter 1 - Silver Knight==
=== Part 1 ===

Have you heard of it before?

Recently, a hero succeeded in preventing the monster called Necromancia from destroying the city of Ansarivan. According to witnesses, the hero seems dressed in silver-colored Ark<ref>聖騎甲（アーク） Āku, lit. "Holy Rider Armor") - An unique set of armour Ark-Dragners receive from their Maestro.</ref>.

If not for the hero, the city probably already had been in ruins. The worst possible situation is maybe the whole district…err no, it will not be surprising if the whole Ansarivan city is razed to the ground.

However, so far no one there knew the hero’s true identity.

As he was dressed in an Ark, he must be an Ark-Dragner.

His purpose is not to show off his skills and he does not ask anything for a reward.

Ahh!!! He is such a honorable and noble person! The Knight of all Knights can’t be anyone apart from him!

So let's call him 'Silver Knight'.

From here on, we gradually announce the establishment of the SKFC (Sliver Knight Fan Club)!

Anyone interested in becoming a member is always welcome!

SKFC kaichou<ref>''Kaichou'' means "president" in Japanese. I leave it there because this is a notice and it looks funny when it is written in the English form.</ref> Jessica Valentine (Advanced Course first year).

===Part 2===

"... So this is your first piece of errand?"

Ash felt Eco looking at him from his back so he turned around and nodded in response.

"Yeah, since I’m in charge of General Affairs.

There is a big bulletin board facing the staff room at the corridor of the ground floor of the campus. The surfaces of the board are fully disorganized and there are some unauthorized posters. Ash feels dizzy looking at it.

Just right after the official ceremony had ended, Ash immediately received an order from Rebecca.

During the school’s free time, the girls’ dormitory seems to have established an organization named SKFC. There was a rumor that the posters used for recruiting members are plastered everywhere on campus.

Any absurd acts like this which are not recognized by the Student Council cannot be left alone.

To remove all the unauthorized posters-must be Ash's first errand as the Student Council’s General Affairs chief.

The afternoon courses were going to start in thirty minutes. To make time for the precious lunch break, Ash angrily tears off the posters.

"You're hopeless<ref>The original word is (真是的). It has no direct translation. It is used to express dissatisfaction or annoyance.</ref>! Who does the Student Council think they are! First of all, I’m your rightful owner, right? So who allowed you to take orders from outsiders other than me?!"

"I think you had switched our stands. I'm your owner... Anyway, why are you here?!"

Only by now, the dense Ash in amazement.

There will be classes that must be attended after the ceremony, so they separated in the boys' dormitory. Eco just talked with her usual tone, so Ash, without any hesitation, started to chat with her.

"Where is Cosette? Didn't I remind you that during my lesson time, you have to look for her?"

"You-u ...... you still haven't figured it out yet? You really are dense to the extreme!"

Eco puffed her cheeks and turned around in front of Ash.

Her skirt flipped up in midair, revealing a pinkish white thigh.

Looking at Eco’s delicate and charming appearance, Ash’s heart cannot help but skip a beat. Then, he finally noticed the difference.

Eco is not wearing her usual casual wear, but a school uniform.

"Just a moment! Why are you wearing our school uniform?"

"Cosette knew I want to look around the school, so she lended it to me."

"Oh, what a nice person Cosette is…WAIT! This school is for dragon breeders! Why you, a dragon is here?!"

"I'm just very interested and want to know what are the things that you are doing in this school. Cosette told me that I won’t need to worry about being found out while wearing this dress."

Cosette's devilish smile vividly emerged in Ash’s mind.

“Then, when is the lesson is going to began?”

"You also intend to attend class!?"

"Hmph, I just want to attend class! And you are not allowed to give opinions!"

"Thunk<ref>Sound of stomping.</ref>!" She stomped with a menacing manner and she straightened her chest.

"...... alas."

It seems that Eco had already made up her mind and nothing made her think twice.

Ash can only miserably continue to tear up those “eyesore” posters.

===Part 3===

When the bell rang, Ash and Eco were still in the corridor at the ground floor.

“Gosh! Now we need to rush to class!”

Ash ran while dragging Eco behind him.

"You shouldn't be hasty in front of a noble Dragon!"

This afternoon there is a scheduled lesson on Oracle<ref>竜媒魔法（オラクル） Orakuru, no translation for it. Literally means "Magic Dragon Medium".</ref>. This course is a compulsory subject specified by the Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy.

Dragons regularly secrete a type of crystal with magic, called Bright Dragon Crystals<ref>竜輝華晶 Ryūki-kashō </ref>

Through the Bright Dragon Crystal, the Oracle can be activated. Today it is widely used by humans who do not have magic as light and heat source in daily life.

"Anyway... I have not seen you secrete a Bright Dragon Crystal."

There are many breeders who bring have their pal’s Bright Dragon Crystal with them.

That is not only a proof of their good relationship with their pal, but also acts as a talisman. When they ran into a dangerous situation, it can be used as a medium to activate their oracle.

Unexpectedly, Ash inadvertently made Eco blush.

"Sha<ref>A sound used of scolding people.</ref>!... You better be careful or I will crush you! How can I casually expose those shameful things in front of others!"

Ash cannot help but be surprised for a moment.

"Shameful? How shameful can it be?"

"Th-Those downright low things...How can I even be speaking of it!"

"Low? Bright Dragon Crystals are formed when excess magic crystallize(?) Even when seen, I think it is no big deal….!!! "

"You haven’t seen other dragons secrete their Bright Dragon Crystal before, right?"

"Who says so!? I ''have'' seen!"

Ash calmly replied.

"What!"

Eco looks like she felt a heavy blow, just like a thunderstrike.

"How could there be such shameless Dragons!"

"Anyhow, this is a Dragon Riding Academy. Those incidents are quite common."

Eco stood still in disbelief.

"What you said... is it really the truth?"

"Mmm, it is the truth. For some dragons, as long as you ask them, they would generously secrete it for you. Or else after the practical skill lessons, you can see that it is all over the field."

"Su-Such a thing could even be happening! The blame should be put on the stupid and ignorant humans who tame the dragons. Now the moral standards of a dragon have dropped this low. This situation is really serious... we dragons have undergone degradation."

"You too had overestimated this problem! Is it really that serious?”

“The secretion of it from a human request, or secrete it anywhere... It's pretty outrageous! Although I do not deny that I inevitably will run into the kind of really intolerable situation. At least carelessly become incontinence<ref>To those who don’t know it means unable to restrain natural discharge of urine or feces.</ref>..."

“Incontinence? Why do you use this word to describe? In the end, Bright Dragon Crystals are actually... "

Ash felt a chill in his heart.

Because of Eco accidentally slipping it out from her mouth. He would been happier if he had not heard the facts that he didn't need to.

-- ''Can I calmly face Bright Dragon Crystals in the future......?''

Ash stared blankly at Eco.

Perhaps she had a misunderstanding, Eco angrily shouted:

"I, I will not incontinence!"

===Part 4===

Both of them hastily rushed to the second magic lecture room and found out that Angela-sensei has not yet arrived.

Students in the classroom are chit-chatting excitingly.

Ash suddenly lost all his might, but this is a lucky outcome for him.

Dr. Angela Cornwell, who has an authority on the research of dragons, has shown a strong interest in the young dragon Eco.

Recently, Ash and Eco suffered quite a lot because Angela.

If they were carelessly late for class... she may have taken the opportunity to trouble them and then sternly order them go directly into the dissection room.

Ash looked around, he intend to look out his friends.

At this moment, his eyes fell upon Silvia.

Silvia, all alone on her own, was sitting at the side beside the wall.

Because of her royal family background and insubordinate personality, she was unable to make friends.

Although she received the warm applause from all the students in the morning ceremony which is a rare sight, but to be able to blend into the life of other students, things like this do not happen overnight.

Last month because of some unpredictable events, Ash felt his relationship with Silvia had become closer.

-- ''I should try to sit beside her...''

Just as Ash was trying to do this brave act.

“Oi!”

Suddenly someone pulled his sleeve, he was shocked and his thoughts return to reality.

"Eco... is there anything?"

"That's my line! What are you doing staring blankly?"

"No-nothing... I wasn't in a daze.”

Ash quickly removed his sight from Silvia.

Eco immediately showed an unhappy expression.

It's probably because she saw his attention towards Silvia just now. However, what was the reason for her to be upset?

Just when Ash's mind is fully confused, his good-for-nothing friend<ref>Original word is (损友). When translated it means "bad friend". But there are wider meanings that can also be used to say useless friend or used sarcastically toward those close friends who are mischievous which is in this case.</ref> Raymond Kirkland raised his hand.

"Yo, Ash, this way!"

Raymond had occupied the seat at the last row beside the window, which is the best place to avoid the teacher’s sight.

"Angela-sensei has not arrived yet."

"This period was changed to homeroom! Looks like the staff meeting this afternoon had extended... Well, that is not important."

From Raymond when he saw beautiful girls, such as Eco, instantly has a shortness of breath.

“Eco is here too! This morning’s ceremony you are really cute……Gawk Pug<ref>sound of being hit while talking </ref>."

After suffering a straight punch from Eco, Raymond's face looked like he was going to heave.

Ash quickly stops her from behind.

"Hey…Hey… What are you doing? Hitting random people!"

"... I just don't know why? I just get mad when I see him."

In the end, Ash had to separate both of them by sitting between Raymond and Eco.

"Hey, Ash...... what’s the situation right now?"

After enduring an iron fist, Raymond immediately sprang back to life and questions Ash.

"Can't you see this with your own eyes? Of course she came here by force."

"She also looks nice in a uniform.... Are you really sure you don't want to have an exchange with my Brigid?"

Seeing Raymond’s perverted expression, Ash can only shake his head and sigh.

"Do you want to be squashed to death by Brigid? Say, how come I didn't see Max?"

Right until now, Ash only noticed that Maximillian Russell, who is supposed be beside Raymond, was gone.

"Ohh, Max should be busy tearing the posters, right?"

“Ehh-Eh?”

Max is a proud member of the Student Council, he is a secretary there. But to be removing illegal posters, it is fair to say that this is not a part of his job.

"You also know his personality, right?"

"Ha ha ... it's hard not to imagine it."

Ash finally figured it out.

Max very serious about hygiene. For example, when he saw someone look lightly messy, he would very much like to clean them. He has a personality where ‘his eyes cannot tolerate even a dust particle’ which causes others to have headaches. So naturally, he must interfere with the business of those illegal posters.

"Also, Raymond, there is something I've wanted to ask you."

"Anything?"

Ash, staring at Raymond's confusing face, threw him a question that he doubted since that morning:

"The ‘Silver Knight’. What is it, actually?"

“What? Are you kidding me?"

Raymond suddenly raised his voice, shocking Ash.

The students around them cast curious looks at them.

Raymond, after an unnatural cough to clear his throat, whispered into Ash’s ear.

"You-u... the poster above has stated clearly, didn’t it? The ‘Silver Knight’ is the hero who protected this town and avoided it from being destroyed by the Necromancia’s attack. To summarize it……"

Raymond lowers down his tone, and says the decisive words:

"It's you!"

"Eeh……me!? It's me? Why?"

Ash became dumbstruck and gazed at Raymond’s snappily stinking face.

"Because you're the one who actually beat the Necromancia!"

"The problem is… Am I suitable to have a stylish name such as the ‘Silver Knight’? Anyway…who is the one responsible for creating this title?!"

"This name is adapted from a novel. A shoujo novel called ''The Sky Dragon Knight Chronicles'', the protagonist is also known as the ‘Silver Knight’. Really popular among the girls."

"Oh......"

"From the eyewitnesses' testimony, at St. Durham<ref>(聖ダーラム) Durham is a city in northeast England.</ref> Square, the Dragner who rode Necromancia has an Ark. His coolness seems to be identical to the ‘Silver Knight’ in the story.

“That time the armour Eco created indeed is silver in colour..."

"No need to worry. Fortunately the academy has suppressed this information, only a few people know that the knight is you."

Raymond strangely felt a bit jaunty.

"If the secret is exposed... I don't know what will happen."

Raymond nonchalantly replied to Ash's question.

"Perhaps you'll run into your first and at the same time your last romantic encounter. I heard that during the school holidays the SKFC members exceeded a hundred people!"

"Is it true?!"

When Ash could not help shouting out loud...

"What Raymond said may not be a joke!"

The owner of the voice behind Ash is Max.

Max with his nervous appearance is the same like always. Compare to Ash and others who appear to look untidy even with their uniform, he always tidies himself up just like a newly-enrolled student.

Underneath Max’s armpit are a stack of posters. Judging from the thickness, there are at least more than one hundred.

"I can't stand this any longer. These people really know how to create trouble."

Standing in the middle of Ash and Raymond, Max sighed deeply.

"However since the SKFC has been locked on by Rebecca, they better be careful. Things like this will soon come to an end, right? Moreover, this type of activity is impossible to maintain for a while."

After Ash optimistically expressed his opinion, Max immediately stared sharply at him through his glasses.

"Wh-Why are you looking at me?"

"It appears that you still don't know what situation you're in. Listen, currently it has been confirmed that there is a big chance that the ability of a Breeder will be passed on to the next generation. The next ‘Silver Knight’ is powerful enough to defeat that Necromancia. Moreover, he is also equipped with an Ark, which also proved that he is an Ark-Dragner."

"…... So?"

Max, just like Raymond, lowered his tone.

"Just in case someone knew that you are the ‘Silver Knight’…... the SKFC will do everything in their might to win your sperm.

"Since when was I a breeding horse<ref>(種馬) ''Taneuma''. Direct translation is breeding horse but it means a breeding medium or tool.</ref>?"

"Stay cool. The SKFC members are originally Breeders. If they bear the child of the Silver Knight, there will be a great chance that the child will become an Ark-Dragner like his father. Though because of Xenoglavia’s<ref>(ゼノグラヴィア戦争) ''Zenoguravia-sensō''. This name is from Kleeyook I cannot find any reference for this name do tell me if anyone knew.</ref>War, the young people who intend to become a Dragner are decreasing...... but when it comes to an Ark-Dragner it's at a whole new level."

Despite how others listen it seems to be a joke, but Max was speaking with a serious expression.

"If that being the case, I'll help you no matter what the reason is. I can't stand the Ash who has luck with the girls!"

"Raymond, it seems that we need to have a talk."

"No, I agree with what Raymond is saying."

"Not you too, Max!"

"Otherwise, you don't mind the SKFC knowing your secret?"

Ash became speechless.

"Well, I...... of course, I don’t want them to know. Become popular with the girls with those impure motives has nothing to be happy about."

"Hmm, I'm not really satisfied."

Eco suddenly snappily grumble.

"To be honest, the reason you can defeat the Necromancia is because of the Ark I created? But the one in the spotlight is only the knight…… that's why I always say humans are stupid and ignorant beings!"

“What Eco said is absolutely right."

Just when they are busy chit chatting with Max……

"Sorry for my interruption my fellow students!"

The classroom door suddenly opened with a "Bang!" A group of girls dressed in the academy's uniforms started to fill up the classroom.

The sudden progress made the students speechless. Everyone’s attention is focused on the suspicious group.

There was a total of about twenty people.

The suspected leader of the group of girls stepped forward onto to lectern and her eyes swipeed past the classroom.

Ash couldn’t help but stare at her.

The girl’s gesture has a temperament of nobility in it.

Her orange-yellow elegant curly hair lay in front of her chest. Her slender eyes emitted rays of sparks as if an emerging raging fire.

"I'm the President of the SKFC, Jessica Valentine!"

After announcing her name, Jessica, with an elegant aura, looked at the students around her.

"Those who have seen our posters, I think you had already knew our aim, right? That's right, we're looking for ‘Silver Knight’-sama. That day during the Necromancia’s attack, it to be the school’s off days, we deduced that there should be a lot of students who happen to be wandering at St. Durham Square the combat scene. Now maybe that this classoom may have one or two witnesses……"

"Don’t you think you're asking too much<ref>Original word is过分, is used colloquially to express exasperation of someone is being unreasonable or bothersome.</ref>?"

Silvia, with a courageous and serious voice, interrupted Jessica’s speech.

"Oh my, I thought who will it be, and it turn out to be Oujo<ref>(王女) ''Ōjo'', "Princess".</ref>-sama."

Jessica's response made Silvia’s face turn black.

"I'm not speaking to you as the Princess, but as the Student Council’s disciplinary member who is now giving you a warning! Have you not found out that you are destroying the school's discipline?!!!"

"Ha! Since you're talking to me as a Princess, then I won’t be branded as disrespectful when I argue with you, right?

Jessica's choice that did not intend make any concessions had surprised others.

"Do you think your behaviour as acceptable?"

"The school’s discipline compared to my ‘desire’ is simply nothing!"

"Well, if that's the case, might you speak out your ambition? I'm all ears."

Jessica, like she had already prepared for this, immediately raises her chest and say:

"I want to give birth to ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s children!"

An awkward type of silence suddenly enveloped the entire classroom.

Everyone obviously are feeling disgusted with her direct declaration.

Even Silvia was also stunned speechless.

Finally, a student with low profile who is one of the followers broke the silence.

"President! Your speech had violated club regulation article one hundred and twenty-seven!"

"Hmm…... As expected of Vice-President Lynette-san. Good job noticing. Please allow me to withdraw my previous declaration."

“Withdrawal of declaration has been confirmed!"

After he had listened to Jessica and Lynette who were speak annoyingly rhythmically, Ash muttered:

"Th-That rumour......"

Raymond tried to pacify his concern for Ash:

"Carelessly resisting is suicidal, Ash. I heard that the Valentine Family is a traditional noble family."

Facing Raymond’s smile, Eco started to speak out loud:

"Oh, I really can’t stand those people any longer. The true face behind 'Silver Knight' is……"

"W-Wa-Wait, Eco!"

Ash quickly covers her mouth from behind.

"Mmm -!"

Eco is struggling with all her limbs. In the eyes of others, this situation is like Ash is hugging her from behind, not wanting to let go. Her body's tenderness and lovely feel made Ash blush, but still he must not let go.

It is rare that the school is helping me in controlling the information? If my identity is revealed in a place like this, all their hard work will go to waste.

"Back to the topic, Princess Silvia, it is true that we are making a list of people who are present at the incident."

"So……?"

"Princess, your name is also on top of our list. Maybe you had already know the true identity of ‘Silver Knight’-sama, am I right?"

“Y-You. What are you talking about?!"

It seems that the straightforward character of Silvia is not good at lying.

Silvia was obviously shaken when Jessica hit the bull’s eye.

It is a lie if she says she didn’t know, because that time the one riding with her on Lancelot is actually the ‘Silver Knight’.

"Hey…... Ash? It seems the situation has gotten worse."

When Raymond is warning him, Ash has already stood up and came to Silvia’s rescue.

"Miss. I’m sorry, but now is still the school hours."

The crowd’s attention immediately falls on Ash.

Silvia also looked at Ash with a surprising expression. Perhaps this is an illusion, but it seems that she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I remember that you are the Student Council’s……"

Ash mercilessly interrupted Jessica.

"Can you please leave the classroom immediately? Don't interrupt us in our lesson time."

The classroom fell silent.

Ash's determination caused the entire student body to gasp.

Unexpectedly, Jessica didn’t back down.

In contrary, she is also smiling.

Compared with undisguised expression, the kind of smile was even scarier.

"Your name is Ash, right? A guy with no obvious achievements, but still allowed to join the Student Council…... Hey, Vice-President Lynette? His name is on the list of people who were at St. Durham Square, isn’t it?"

Lynette, like she had memorized the whole list without any hesitation, answered immediately:

"......Ash Blake, advanced course first year. Someone actually confirmed that he show up near St. Durham Square!"

After hearing Lynette’s report, cold sweats emerged from Ash’s body.

"Speaking of this, people call you 'The Boy who can Ride any Dragon'. Could it be…....that you had possibly managed to ride the Necromancia?”

"……!"

A sudden hit at the bull’s eye made Ash speechless.

"It's just that ‘Silver Knight’-sama is a noble Ark-Dragner, and you…... are nothing but simply just a Breeder who is a nobody. People like you simply cannot be compared to ‘Silver Knight’-sama! Oh Hohoho!"

Fortunately Jessica just laughed at that thought. She would never have expected she is at the grasp of the truth.

"Not to mention your Pal ...... hee hee, it's funny just by thinking at it. She turned out to be a child. Even this morning's ceremony has a really fantastic finish."

"Wh-What did you say……!"

After hearing Eco, naturally she would be angrily and want to stand up to refute, but……

"You!!! Don’t interrupt."

Ash immediately reached out to stop her.

"Who do you think you are......"

Although she feels reluctantly, Eco shut her mouth.

All the SKFC members are trembling under the pressure of Ash’s aura.

Although Ash is now a member of the Student Council, in the past he is no other but the infamous 'Number One Problem Child’.

And it is not a name given for nothing.

Jessica is also no different; she is the only one who is showing no sign of fear.

"Ash, stay calm! She's a noble!"

Raymond give a out loud warning but Ash is not bothered by it.

"What is a noble to me when I even challenged a Princess!!!!!!"

"Ahh ... You're right, I totally forgotten all about it ......"

Raymond looks into the distance with a crestfallen expression.

"How dare you insult my Pal......? What is the meaning of this? If you want to apologise, it's better that you do it right now."

"Hah<ref>An insulting sound.</ref>! You are but a commoner and you dare to order ''me'' around!"

Ash and Jessica.

Each refused to back down and stared at each other directly.

Just when the tension reached its climax……

The classroom door is suddenly slammed open.

"So…... I see that you have been wandering around here, Jessica."

All the people in the classroom are attracted toward the overwhelming presence, everybody stay silent.

The one and only exception is Jessica.

“Rebecca! Y-Y……You stay out of my way! "

Jessica unexpectedly never shown any weakness even when the opponent is Rebecca.

"He-Hey, the girl called Jessica…... she really have some nerve? She actually dared to address Rebecca by her first name."

Raymond, opposite of the speechless, Ash calmly pulled out his notepad and make a quickly flip.

"According to my information network…... both of them seem to be childhood friends who grew up in the same hometown."

"You're still the same, never let loose any girl's information."

"Hmm…... you're wrong, Ash. It's limited to 'cute girls' only, okay?"

Raymond laughed proudly at his own works while Rebecca and Jessica's argument still continued.

"I would like to throw the question back to you, Rebecca, why are you here at 'this place'?"

"I come here to notify the members of the Student Council…... It seems that you still with the same stupidity, Jessica."

"You've come at just the right time? Everyone listen carefully!!! The Student Council is controlling the information of the St. Durham Square attacks, we have confirmation! The Student Council took all the trouble to cover up what? Does it imply that the
Student Council had long ago knew ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s identity?"

"Even if it is the truth, I am not obligated to tell you at all. I suggest you to remember your duty as a student?"

"I have no intention of disturbing the class. I just simply urged everyone here to help us collect ‘Silver Knight’-sama’s information!"

"You're still the same, full of nonsensical reasoning......"

"I, the representative of the SKFC, request the Student Council to reveal that information to the public!"

After Jessica’s tenacious declaration. Rebecca gave a frightening expression.

"......At the beginning I don’t want to give you trouble because you are my childhood friend, but I seems that I need to deal with this with another way."

Under the sight of her fierce-looking eyes, Jessica felt that she was going to surrender and back off.

In the eyes of Ash, it seems that Rebecca’s back is full of red glowing aura.

"Wha-What…... the Student Council President even tried to use force to solve problems……"

Jessica can not help but shrink and take a few steps backwards.

"Too bad. To think that I even bothered to treat you nicely."

Rebecca, with a graceful smile, whispered into the ears of Jessica.

"Yikes!"

Jessica immediately starts sweating, her back unnaturally bent.

Jessica headed down and rush out of the classroom. The Vice-President, Lynette, and the other SKFC members quickly scattered.

"Right. Silvia of Disciplinary Affairs, secretary Max, and Ash of General Affairs. The three people mentioned, please report to the Student Council’s office immediately. An emergency meeting is to be held. That is all."

After Rebecca had informed the others, she left.

"An emergency meeting ... is something wrong?"

Ash asked out, but Max is equally confused.

"The President came personally to inform you, she but also choose to do it during lesson time...... certainly it is no simple matter."

Raymond, between Ash and Max, with a rare worrisome look murmured and grumbled.

"I’m so lonely. I didn't expect that even Ash had joined the Student Council…... Damn, why am I the only one left out?"

"Raymond ......"

"Fortunately, I still have Eco! Hey Eco, why don’t the two of us alone go to have a cup of tea……? Gawk!"

With her superhuman strength, her iron fist knock Raymond away.

"You shut up! Obviously, I'm a member of the Student Council…... the woman dare not to mention my name and choose to ignore a noble Dragon? I will not forgive her!"

After Ash glanced at Raymond who is sticking on the wall, he tried to speak a few words to calm down Eco:

"You are their 'mascot'. So you don't have to attend any meetings."

"Nothing to do with me?! Since you all wounded the pride of a Dragon, I will attend no matter what!"

Eco cried.

KID2NR: /* Part 3 */

{{Incomplete}}

==Chapter 1 - Silver Knight==
=== Part 1 ===

Have you heard of it before?

Recently, a hero succeeded in preventing the monster called Necromancia from destroying the city of Ansarivan. According to witnesses, the hero seems dressed in silver-colored Ark<ref>聖騎甲（アーク） Āku, lit. "Holy Rider Armor") - An unique set of armour Ark-Dragners receive from their Maestro.</ref>.

If not for the hero, the city probably already had been in ruins. The worst possible situation is maybe the whole district…err no, it will not be surprising if the whole Ansarivan city is razed to the ground.

However, so far no one there knew the hero’s true identity.

As he was dressed in an Ark, he must be an Ark-Dragner.

His purpose is not to show off his skills and he does not ask anything for a reward.

Ahh!!! He is such a honorable and noble person! The Knight of all Knights can’t be anyone apart from him!

So let's call him 'Silver Knight'.

From here on, we gradually announce the establishment of the SKFC (Sliver Knight Fan Club)!

Anyone interested in becoming a member is always welcome!

SKFC kaichou<ref>''Kaichou'' means "president" in Japanese. I leave it there because this is a notice and it looks funny when it is written in the English form.</ref> Jessica Valentine (Advanced Course first year).

===Part 2===

"... So this is your first piece of errand?"

Ash felt Eco looking at him from his back so he turned around and nodded in response.

"Yeah, since I’m in charge of General Affairs.

There is a big bulletin board facing the staff room at the corridor of the ground floor of the campus. The surfaces of the board are fully disorganized and there are some unauthorized posters. Ash feels dizzy looking at it.

Just right after the official ceremony had ended, Ash immediately received an order from Rebecca.

During the school’s free time, the girls’ dormitory seems to have established an organization named SKFC. There was a rumor that the posters used for recruiting members are plastered everywhere on campus.

Any absurd acts like this which are not recognized by the Student Council cannot be left alone.

To remove all the unauthorized posters-must be Ash's first errand as the Student Council’s General Affairs chief.

The afternoon courses were going to start in thirty minutes. To make time for the precious lunch break, Ash angrily tears off the posters.

"You're hopeless<ref>The original word is (真是的). It has no direct translation. It is used to express dissatisfaction or annoyance.</ref>! Who does the Student Council think they are! First of all, I’m your rightful owner, right? So who allowed you to take orders from outsiders other than me?!"

"I think you had switched our stands. I'm your owner... Anyway, why are you here?!"

Only by now, the dense Ash in amazement.

There will be classes that must be attended after the ceremony, so they separated in the boys' dormitory. Eco just talked with her usual tone, so Ash, without any hesitation, started to chat with her.

"Where is Cosette? Didn't I remind you that during my lesson time, you have to look for her?"

"You-u ...... you still haven't figured it out yet? You really are dense to the extreme!"

Eco puffed her cheeks and turned around in front of Ash.

Her skirt flipped up in midair, revealing a pinkish white thigh.

Looking at Eco’s delicate and charming appearance, Ash’s heart cannot help but skip a beat. Then, he finally noticed the difference.

Eco is not wearing her usual casual wear, but a school uniform.

"Just a moment! Why are you wearing our school uniform?"

"Cosette knew I want to look around the school, so she lended it to me."

"Oh, what a nice person Cosette is…WAIT! This school is for dragon breeders! Why you, a dragon is here?!"

"I'm just very interested and want to know what are the things that you are doing in this school. Cosette told me that I won’t need to worry about being found out while wearing this dress."

Cosette's devilish smile vividly emerged in Ash’s mind.

“Then, when is the lesson is going to began?”

"You also intend to attend class!?"

"Hmph, I just want to attend class! And you are not allowed to give opinions!"

"Thunk<ref>Sound of stomping.</ref>!" She stomped with a menacing manner and she straightened her chest.

"...... alas."

It seems that Eco had already made up her mind and nothing made her think twice.

Ash can only miserably continue to tear up those “eyesore” posters.

===Part 3===

When the bell rang, Ash and Eco were still in the corridor at the ground floor.

“Gosh! Now we need to rush to class!”

Ash ran while dragging Eco behind him.

"You shouldn't be hasty in front of a noble Dragon!"

This afternoon there is a scheduled lesson on Oracle<ref>竜媒魔法（オラクル） Orakuru, no translation for it. Literally means "Magic Dragon Medium".</ref>. This course is a compulsory subject specified by the Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy.

Dragons regularly secrete a type of crystal with magic, called Bright Dragon Crystals<ref>竜輝華晶 Ryūki-kashō </ref>

Through the Bright Dragon Crystal, the Oracle can be activated. Today it is widely used by humans who do not have magic as light and heat source in daily life.

"Anyway... I have not seen you secrete a Bright Dragon Crystal."

There are many breeders who bring have their pal’s Bright Dragon Crystal with them.

That is not only a proof of their good relationship with their pal, but also acts as a talisman. When they ran into a dangerous situation, it can be used as a medium to activate their oracle.

Unexpectedly, Ash inadvertently made Eco blush.

"Sha<ref>A sound used of scolding people.</ref>!... You better be careful or I will crush you! How can I casually expose those shameful things in front of others!"

Ash cannot help but be surprised for a moment.

"Shameful? How shameful can it be?"

"Th-Those downright low things...How can I even be speaking of it!"

"Low? Bright Dragon Crystals are formed when excess magic crystallize(?) Even when seen, I think it is no big deal….!!! "

"You haven’t seen other dragons secrete their Bright Dragon Crystal before, right?"

"Who says so!? I ''have'' seen!"

Ash calmly replied.

"What!"

Eco looks like she felt a heavy blow, just like a thunderstrike.

"How could there be such shameless Dragons!"

"Anyhow, this is a Dragon Riding Academy. Those incidents are quite common."

Eco stood still in disbelief.

"What you said... is it really the truth?"

"Mmm, it is the truth. For some dragons, as long as you ask them, they would generously secrete it for you. Or else after the practical skill lessons, you can see that it is all over the field."

"Su-Such a thing could even be happening! The blame should be put on the stupid and ignorant humans who tame the dragons. Now the moral standards of a dragon have dropped this low. This situation is really serious... we dragons have undergone degradation."

"You too had overestimated this problem! Is it really that serious?”

“The secretion of it from a human request, or secrete it anywhere... It's pretty outrageous! Although I do not deny that I inevitably will run into the kind of really intolerable situation. At least carelessly become incontinence<ref>To those who don’t know it means unable to restrain natural discharge of urine or feces.</ref>..."

“Incontinence? Why do you use this word to describe? In the end, Bright Dragon Crystals are actually... "

Ash felt a chill in his heart.

Because of Eco accidentally slipping it out from her mouth. He would been happier if he had not heard the facts that he didn't need to.

-- ''Can I calmly face Bright Dragon Crystals in the future......?''

Ash stared blankly at Eco.

Perhaps she had a misunderstanding, Eco angrily shouted:

"I, I will not incontinence!"

===Part 4===

Both of them hastily rushed to the second magic lecture room and found out that Angela sensei has not yet arrived.

Students in the classroom are chit chatting excitingly.

Ash suddenly lost all his might, but this is lucky outcome for him.

Dr Angela Cornwell who has an authority on the research of dragons shows a strong interest in young dragon Eco.

Recently, Ash and Eco suffered quite a lot because Angela.

If they carelessly late for class... she may took the opportunity to trouble them and then sternly order them go directly into the dissection room.

Ash looked around, he intend to look out his friends.

At this moment, his eyes fell upon Silvia.

Silvia all alone on her own sits at the side beside the wall.

Because of her royal family background and insubordinate personality, had caused her to unable to make friends.

Although she receives the warmth applause from all the students in the morning ceremony which is a rare sight, but to be able to blend into the life of other students, things like this will not be happening overnight.

Last month because of some unpredictable events, Ash feel his relationship with Silvia had become closer
Why not I try to sit beside her...

Just as Ash is trying to do this brave act.

“Oi!”

Suddenly someone pulled his sleeve, he was shocked and his thoughts return to reality.

Eco... is there anything? "

"That is my lines! What are you doing staring blankly?"

"No, nothing... I did not become daze”

Ash quickly removes his sight from Silvia.

Eco immediately shows an unhappy expression.

It is probably because she saw his attention towards Silvia just now. However, what is the reason for her to be upset?

Just when Ash mind is fully confused, his good for nothing friend<ref>Original word is损友.When translated is bad friend. But there are wider meanings which can also be use to say useless friend or used sarcastically toward those close friends who are mischievous which is in this case. </ref> Raymond Kirkland raised his hand.

"Yoo, Ash, this way!"

Raymond had occupied the seat at the last row beside the window which is the best place to avoid the teacher’s sight.
"Angela sensei has not arrived yet."

"This period had changed to homeroom! Looks like the staff meeting this afternoon had extended... well that is not important."

Fro Raymond when he saw beautiful girls, such as Eco, instantly has a shortness of breath.

“Eco is here too! This morning’s ceremony you are really cute……Gawk Pug<ref>sound of being hit while talking </ref>."

After suffering a straight punch from Eco, Raymond the face looks like he is going to heaven.

Ash quickly stops her from behind.

"Hey…Hey… What are you doing? Hitting random people!"

"... I just do not know why? I just get mad when I see him."

In the end, Ash had to separate both of them by sitting in the middle of Raymond and Eco.
"Hey, Ash...... what’s the situation right now?"

After enduring an iron fist, Raymond immediately spring back to life and question Ash.

"Cant you see this with your own eyes? Of course she came here by force."

"She also looks nice in uniforms.... Are you really sure you do not want to have an exchange with my Brigid?"

Seeing Raymond’s perverted expression, Ash can only shakes his head and sigh.

"Do you want to be squash by Brigid to death? Say, how come I did not see Max?"

Right until now, Ash only noticed that Maximillian Russellwho is supposed be beside Raymond was gone.

"Ohh, Max should be busy tearing the poster, right?"

“Ehh-Eh?”

Max is a proud member from the student council, he is a secretary there. But to be removing illegal posters, it is fair to say that this is not a part of his job.

"You also know his personality, right?"

"Ha ha ... it is not hard to imagine it."

Ash finally figures it out.

Max very serious about hygiene. For example, who he saw someone’s look lightly messy, he would very much like to clean them. He has a personality where ‘his eyes can not tolerate even a dust particle’ which causes others to have headaches. So naturally, he must interfere with the business of those illegal posters.

"Also, Raymond, there is something I've wanted to ask you."

"Anything?"

Ash staring at Raymond confusing face, throw him a question that he doubt since that morning:

"‘Silver Knight’ what is it actually?"

“What? Are you kidding me? "

Raymond suddenly raise in his voice shocked Ash.

The students around them cast curious looks at them.

Raymond after an unnatural cough to clear his throat whisper into Ash’s ear.

"You-u... the poster above has stated clearly didn’t it? ‘Silver Knight’ is the hero who protects this town and avoids it from being destroyed by the Necromancia’s attack. To summaries it……"

Raymond lowers down his tone, and says the decisive words:

"It is you!"

"Eeh……me!? It is me? Why?"

Ash became dumbstruck and gaze at Raymond’s snappily stinking face.

"Because you are the one who actually beat the Necromancia!"

"The problem is… Do I suitable for ‘Silver Knight’ such stylish name? Anyway…who is the one responsible for creating this title?!"
"This name is adapted from a novel. A shoujo novel called 'The ‘Sky Dragon Knight Chronicles’, the protagonist is also known as ‘Silver Knight’ supremely popular among the girls."

"Oh......"

"From the eyewitnesses testimony, at St Durham<ref>聖ダーラムDurham is a city in north east England.</ref> Square the dragner who ride Necromancia has an ark. His coolness seems to be identical to the ‘Silver Knight’ in the story.

“That time the armour Eco created indeed is silver in colour... "

"No need to worry, fortunately the academy has suppressed this information, only a few people who know that the knight is you."
Raymond strangely fell a bit jaunty.

"If the secret is exposed ...I do not know what will happen."

Raymond nonchalantly replied Ash question.

"Perhaps you will run into your first and at the same time your last romantic encounters. I heard that during the school holidays the SKFC member exceeded a hundred people!"

"It is true!"

When Ash could not help shouting out loud...

"What Raymond said may not be a joke!"

The owner of the voice behind Ash is Max.

Max with his nervous appearance is the same like always. Compare to Ash and others who appear to looks untidy even with their uniform, he always tidies himself up just like a newly enrolled student.

Underneath Max’s armpit is a stack of posters. Judging from the thickness, there are at least more than one hundred.

"I can stand no longer, these people really know how to create trouble."

Standing in the middle of Ash and Raymond, Max sighed deeply.

"However since SKFC is been locked on by Rebecca, they better be careful, things like this will soon come to an end, right? Moreover, this type of activity is impossible to maintain for a long."

After Ash optimistically expresses his opinion, Max immediately stare sharply at him through his glasses.

"Wh-Why are you looking at me?"

"It appears that you still do not know what situation you are in. Listen, currently it has been confirmed that there is a big chance that the ability of a breeder will be passed on to the next generation. Next ‘Silver Knight’ is powerful enough to defeat that Necromancia. Moreover, he is also equipped with an ark, which also proved that he is an Ark Dragner. "

"…... So?"

Max just like Raymond, lowers down his tone.

"Just in case someone knew that you are the ‘Silver Knight’…... SKFC will do everything in their might to win your sperm.

"When was I a breeding horse<ref>種馬Taneuma direct translation is breeding horse but it means a breeding medium or tool.</ref>?"

"Stay cool. The SKFC members are originally breeders, if they bear the child of Silver Knight there will be a great chance that the child will become an ark dragner like his father. Though because of the Xenogravia’s<ref>ゼノグラヴィア戦争Zenoguravia. This name is from Kleeyook I cannot find any reference for this name do tell me if anyone knew.</ref>War, the young people who intend to become a Dragon Knight are decreasing...... but when it comes to an ark dragner it is at a whole new level. "

Despite how others listen it seems to be a joke, but Max was speaking with a serious expression.

"If that being the case, I'll help you no matter what the reason is, I can not stand the Ash who has luck with the girls!"

Raymond, it seems that we need to have a talk. "

"No, I agree with what Raymond is saying."

"Max, even you!"

"Otherwise, you do not mind SKFC know your secret?"

Ash became speechless.

"Well, I...... of course, I don’t want them to know. Become popular with the girls with those impure motives has nothing to be happy about."

"Hmm, I am not really satisfied."

Eco suddenly snappily grumble.

"To be honest, the reason you can defeat the Necromancia is because of the ark I created? But the one in the spotlight is only the knight…… that why I always say humans are stupid and ignorant beings!"

“What Eco say is absolutely right."

Just when they are busy chit chatting with Max……

"Sorry for my interruption my fellow students!"

Classroom door suddenly open with a "Bang! A group of girls dressed in the uniforms starts to fill up the class room.

Sudden progress made the students speechless. Everyone’s attention is focus on the suspicious group.

There is a total of about twenty people.

The suspected leader of the group of girl step forward onto to lectern and her eyes swipe pass the classroom.

Ash couldn’t help but stare at her.

The girl’s gesture has a temperament of nobility in it.

Her orange-yellow elegant curly hair lay in front of her chest. Her slender eyes emit rays of sparks as if an emerging raging fire.

"I'm Jessica Valentine! Currently served as the president of SKFC!"

After announcing her name, Jessica with an elegant aura looked at the students around her.

"Those who have seen our posters, I think you had already knew our aim right? Yeah, we're looking for ‘Silver Knight’ sama. That day during the Necromancia’s attack, it to be the school’s off days, we deduced that there should be a lot of students who happen to be wandering at St Durham Square the combat scene. Now maybe that this classoom may have one or two witnesses……"

"Don’t you think you are asking too much<ref>Original word is过分, is used colloquially to express exasperation of someone is being unreasonable or bothersome.</ref>."!"

Silvia with a courageous and serious voice interrupted Jessica’s speech.

"Oh my, I thought who will it be, and it turn out to be Oujo<ref>王女 princess.</ref>."!" sama."

Jessica's response makes Silvia’s face turn black.

"I'm now not speaking to you as princes! But as the student council’s disciplinary member who is now giving you a warning! Have you not found out that you are destroying the school's discipline?!!!"

"Ha! Since you talking to me as a princess, then I won’t be branded as disrespectful when I argue with you, right?

Jessica choice that did not intend make any concessions had surprised others.

"Do you think your behaviour as acceptable?"

The school’s discipline compared to my ‘desire’ is simply nothing! "

"Well, if that is the case, might you speak out your ambition, I'm all ears."

Jessica like she had already prepared for this immediately raises her chest and say:

"I want to give birth to ‘Silver Knight’ sama’s children!"

An awkward type of silence suddenly enveloped the entire classroom.

Everyone obviously are feeling disgusted with her direct declaration.

Even Silvia was also stunned and turns speechless.

Finally, a student with low profile who is one of the followers broke the silence.

“President! Your speech had violated the club regulation article one hundred and twenty-seven! "

"Hmm…... As expected of vice president Lynette-san. Good job noticing. Please allow me to withdraw me previous declaration."
“Withdrawal of declaration has been confirmed!"

After he had listen to Jessica and Lynette who speak annoyingly rhythmically, Ash muttered:

"Th-That rumour......"

Raymond tries to pacify his concern for Ash:

"Carelessly resist is suicidal, Ash. I heard that the Valentine Family is a traditional noble family."

Facing Raymond’s smile Eco starts to speak out loud:

"Oh I really can’t stand those people any longer. The true face behind “Silver knight” is……"

"W-Wa-Wait, Eco!"

Ash quickly covers her mouth from behind.

"Mmm -!"

Eco is struggling with all her limbs. In the eyes of others, this situation is like Ash is hugging her from behind not wanting to let go. Viagra body's tenderness and lovely feel made Ash blush, but still he must not let go.

It is rare that the schools is helping me in controlling the information, if my identity is reveal in a place like this, all hard work will go wasted?

"Back to the topic, Princess Silvia it is true that we are making a list of people who are present at the incident."

"So……?"

Princess your name is also on top of our list. Maybe you had already know the true identity of ‘Silver Knight’ sama am I right? "

“Y-You. What are you talking about! "

It seems that the straight forward character of Silvia is not good at lying.

Silvia was obviously shaken, when Jessica hit the bull’s eye.
It is a lie if she says she didn’t knew, because that time the one riding with her on Lancelot is actually the ‘Silver Knight’.

"Hey…... Ash it seems the situation has became worst."

When Raymond is warning him, Ash has already stood up and came to Silvia’s rescue.

"Miss. I’m sorry, but now is still the school hours."

The crowd’s attention immediately falls on Ash.

Silvia also looked at Ash with a surprising expression. Perhaps this is an illusion, but it seems that she had breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I remember that you are the students council’s……"

Ash mercilessly interrupts Jessica.

"Can you please leave the classroom immediately it? Do not interrupt us in our lesson time."

The classroom falls silent.

Ash determination causes the entire student to gasp.

Unexpectedly, Jessica didn’t back down.

In contrary, she is also smiling.

Compared with undisguised expression, the kind of smile is even scarier.

"Your name is Ash, right? A guy with no obvious achievements, but still allowed to join the student council…... Hey, vice president Lynette his name is on the list of people who is at the St Durham Square isn’t it?"

Lynette like she had memorized the whole list, without any hesitation answered immediately:

, "......Ash Blake, advance course first year. Someone actually confirmed that he show up near St Durham Square!"

After hearing the Lynette’s report, cold sweats emerge from Ash’s body.

"Speaking of this, people call you 'The guy who can ride any dragon'. Could it be…....that you had possibly managed to ride the Necromancia?”

"……!"

A sudden hit at the bull’s eye made Ash speechless.

"It's just that ‘Silver Knight’ sama is a noble Ark Dragner, and you…... is nothing but simply just a breeder who is a nobody.

People like you simply cannot be compared to ‘Silver Knight’ sama! Oh Hohoho!"

Fortunately Jessica just laugh at that thought. She would never have expected she is at the grasp of the truth.

"Not to mention your Pal ...... hee hee, it is funny just by thinking at it. She turned out to be a child. Even this morning's ceremony has a really fantastic finish."

"Wh-What do you say……!"

After hearing Eco natural would be angrily and want to stand up to refute, but……

"You!!! Don’t interrupt."

Ash immediately reached out to stop her.

"Who do you think you are......"

Although she feels reluctantly, Eco shut her mouth.

All the SKFC members are trembling under the pressure of Ash’s aura.

Although Ash is now a member of the student council, but in the past he is no other but the infamous 'Number One Problem Child’.

And if is no a name given for nothing.

Jessica is also no difference; she is the only one who is showing no sign of fear.

"Ash, stay calm! She is a noble!"

Raymond give a out loud warning but Ash totally is not bother by it.

"What is a noble to me when I even challenge a Princess!!!!!!"

"Ahh ... You're right, I totally forgotten all about it ......"

Raymond looks into the distance with a crestfallen expression.

"How dare you insult my Pal......? What is the meaning of this? If you want to apologise it is better that you do it right now."

"Hak<ref>An insulting sound.</ref>! You are but a commoner and you dare to order me around!"

Ash and Jessica.

Each refused to back down and stare each other directly.

Just when the tension reaches its climax……

The classroom door is suddenly slammed open.

"So…... I see that you have been wandering around here, Jessica."

All the people in the classroom are attracted toward the overwhelming presence, everybody stay silent.

The one and only exception is Jessica.

“Rebecca! Y-Y……You are in my way! "

She, Jessica unexpectedly never show any weakness even when the opponent is Rebecca.

"He-Hey, the girl called Jessica…... she really have some nerve? She actually dared to address Rebecca by her first name."

Raymond opposite of the speechless Ash calmly pulled out his notepad and make a quickly flip.

"According to my information network…... both of them seem to be childhood friends who grew up in the same hometown."

"You're still the same, never let lose any girl's information."

"Hmm…... you're wrong Ash. It is limited to 'cute girls'only, okay?"

Raymond laughing proudly at his own works, Rebecca and Jessica argument still continue.

"I would like to throw the question back to you, Rebecca, why are you here at 'this place'?"

"I come here to notice the members of the student council…... It seems that you still with the same stupidity, Jessica."

"You've come at just the right time? Everyone listen carefully!!! The student council is controlling the information of the St
Durham Square’s attacks, we have confirmation! The student council took all the trouble to cover up what? Does it imply that the
student council had long ago knew ‘Silver Knight’ sama’s identity?"

"Even if it is the truth, I am not obligate to tell you at all. I suggest you to remember your duty as a student?"

"I have no intention to disturb the class. I just simply urge everyone here to help us collect ‘Silver Knight’ sama’s information!"

"You're still the same, full of nonsensical reasoning......"

"I representative the SKFC, identity, request the student council open information to the public!"

After Jessica’s tenacious declaration. Rebecca gives a frightening expression.

"......At the beginning I don’t want to give you trouble because you are my childhood friend, but I seems that I need to deal with this with another way.

Under the sight of her fierce looking eyes, Jessica feel that she is going to surrender and back off.

In the eyes of Ash it seems that Rebecca’s back is full of red glowing aura.

"Wha-What…... the student council president even tried to use force to solve problem……"

Jessica can not help but shrink and take a few steps backwards.

"Too bad. To think that I even bother to treat you nicely."

Rebecca with a graceful smile, whispers into the ears of Jessica.

"Yikes!"

Jessica immediately starts sweating, her back is unnaturally bend.

Jessica head down rush out of the classroom. The vice president Lynette and the other SKFC members quickly scattered.

"Right. disciplinary affairs Silvia, secretary Max, as well as general affairs Ash. The three people mention, please immediately
report to the Student Council’s office, an emergency meeting is to be held. End of report."

After Rebecca had informed the others, she left.

"An emergency meeting ... is something wrong?"

Ash asked out, but Max is equally confused.

"The president came personally to inform you, she but also choose to do it during lesson time...... certainly it is no simple matter."

Raymond between Ash and Max, with a rare worrisome look murmured and grumble.

"I’m so lonely. I did not expect that even Ash had joined the Student Council…... Damn, why am I the only one left out?"

"Raymond ......"

"Fortunately, I still have Eco! Hey Eco, why don’t the two of us alone go to have a cup of tea……? Gawk!"

With her superhuman strength once her iron fist swings Raymond knock away.

"You shut up! Obviously I am a member of the student council…... the woman dare not to mention my name and choose to ignore a noble Dragon! I will not forgive her!"

After ash glance at Raymond who is sticking on the wall he try to speak a few words to calm down Eco:

"You are the 'mascot'. So you do not have to attend any meeting."

"Nothing to do with me! Since you all wound the pride of a Dragon, I will attend no matter what!"

Eco cried.

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Names and Terminology Guidelines

2012-12-19T04:33:14Z

KID2NR:

This page is a list of unique/semi-unique terms and names for translators and editors to maintain consistency with. If anything significant needs to be done, such as any large additions, disputes to listed translations to a term or name, or formatting issues, please feel free to post them at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5484 Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi] discussion thread.

==Format Standard==
===Style of English===
All edited translations are to be in British English.

===Narrative Tenses===
Translators are allowed to use whichever tenses they need, so editors have to fix any errors for tenses when you find one. Narrative tense should be in past tense. Narrative does not mean the character dialogues.

===Stuttering===
If the word is a proper noun, proper adjective, or common nouns used as essential parts of proper nouns the stuttered words should be in capital letters.

Example 1: “B-Bucho, what is it?”

If the stuttering occurs at the beginning of the sentence and it is not a proper noun, proper adjective, or a common nouns used as essential parts of proper nouns, then the first stuttered letter should only be capitalised while all the other succeeding letters should be in lower case.

Example 2: “Eh? B-but, don’t you have to get yourself a husband?”

If the stuttering occurs in the middle of the sentence, then everything should be in lower case letters.

Example 3: “I've g-got to p-pick up a new b-book on vampires, m-myself.”

===Japanese Honorifics===
Since there are no equivalents to Japanese honorifics in the English language, Japanese honorifics will be kept.

===Japanese Loanwords===
There are some words in the Japanese language that do not translate into the English language, for such instances it is recommended to keep the Japanese loanword. For example, Torii.

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 2 Prologue

2012-12-08T00:49:32Z

KID2NR:

{{Incomplete}}

==Prologue==
Lautreamont Knight Country, people called it the country of Dragon Breeders.

To the north was the Zepharos Empire, while to the south was the Chevron Kingdom.

Sandwiched between the two major powers, a small country with a population of no more than five million, had a special academy.

Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy.

Educating and guiding teenage boys and girls who formed a contract with dragons -- an academy for Dragon Breeders.

===Part 1===

"Well, we would like to introduce the new members of the Student Council for you students."

Rebecca declared in a loud voice to all the students who gathered in the lecture hall.

The Student Council president, Rebecca Randall, with the prestigious nickname "Scarlet Empress", looking like a marble statue, glorious and splendid, attracted the attention of all the students.

"First of all, in charge of Disciplinary Affairs, Silvia."

"Yes!"

After Silvia solemnly answered, she took a step forward from the stage side curtain.

"Blue Ice Princess"

Like the impression given through that name, Silvia's blue eyes were as cold as ice with bright blond hair that embellished her white beauty.

"I am Silvia Lautreamont and this is the first time I have joined the Student Council. Although I'm still young, inexperienced and have much to learn, I swear I will make every effort to maintain the discipline of Ansarivan Dragon Rider Academy. I hope that every student can take care of me in the future."

Her modest way of speaking caused many whispers among the students.

The overbearing aura of arrogance that previously surrounded Silvia had suddenly disappeared.

Silvia gracefully took a bow and the audience burst into thunderous applause. Because of the enthusiastic applause, Silvia herself couldn't help but feel confused.

Maybe because she felt very reluctant(?), Silvia dashed toward to the side of the stage behind the curtains.

"Your speech was great."

Ash, who also became a Student Council member at the same time, was standing by the stage smiling cheekily towards the Silvia who ran off the stage because of her shyness.

"What's so great about that..."

Perhaps that she is not accustomed to being praised, Silvia blushed. Because of her embarrassment she looked down at the ground. After a while her swollen face suddenly stiffened, and she snappily asked Ash:

"That's none of your concern! Why don't you mind your own buisness! You're going up on the stage next. Are you sure you'll be all right?"

"Th...That's..."

For the infamous Ash who is the school's most problematic student, naturally, this is the first time he would be on stage in this situation. He would be lying if he said that he was not nervous.

"Gosh(?)...I envy you, Princess who does not have anything to do with the word 'tense'."

"Don't be silly. I also felt tense!"

Ash, shocked by Silvia's aggressive manner, couldn't help but shrink back.

"Ah, sorry. Because you didn't seem nervous, I couldn't help but ..."

"As the king's daughter, I was raised to be brought to participate in many ceremonies, so I do not have stage fright ... However, it is also impossible not to feel nervous."

"Is it? Then I feel a little better."

After seeing Ash laughing out of the blue, Silvia looked surprised.

"So even Her Royal Highness can be nervous. Ah... then it is quite okay for ordinary people like me to feel nervous. After knowing about this, I suddenly feel relieved. Thank you!"

"I-It's nothing. There's no need to thank me for something this small."

Silvia embarrassingly turned her face to the side.

"Well, I'll introduce the next member who is the school's 'Number One Problem Child', where he is now turning a new leaf. In charge of General Affairs, Ash Blake."

A noisy boiling atmosphere emerged in the hall right after Rebecca's sentence.

"To put it another way, 'General Affairs' means to help in anything. So no matter what difficulties we run into, feel free to discuss it with Ash.

Seeing the increasingly boiling atmosphere, Ash could not help but feel distressed.

Looking from the center of the stage to the entire hall, a total of four hundred students from basic and advanced courses densely filled the entire field of vision.

"Shit..."

Obviously, just before this moment, he could relax thanks to Silvia's help, but after he stood on stage, the feeling of nervousness emerged without his knowledge.

"..."

Ash suddenly worried about the bandage covering his left arm.

On Ash's left arm, imprinted with the <Seikoku> pattern.

Any Breeder must have an imprint trace, but Ash's <Seikoku> area is extremely large in which it covered almost all of his left arm.

Because of this, Ash's everyday life had always been with a bandage-covering <Seikoku> to avoid it from being striking.

This morning, he had been even more careful than usual while wrapping his bandage.

Even so, in the view of the audience, there is a feeling of uneasiness - fearing that his <Seikoku> will be seen by the audience through the clothing and bandages.

"Hey ... you better stay strong."

At this time, Silvia's soft sound could be heard whispering in his ears.

Ash pretend to turn his head around casually and found out that Silvia is staring directly at him.

"...Princess?"

Silvia, who held her fist towards her chest, forcefully nodded.

''- To think the Princess would actually cheer for me ...!''

Even though it was a small action, Ash suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

He gazed back to the students.

"Uh ... I have just become a member of the Student Council. My name is Ash Blake. To be honest, I don't know what to do...... Wha... Whatever it is, I will do my job with all my might, so please take care of me!"

After he truthfully expressed his feelings, Ash gave a deep bow.

While maintaining his posture, one second passed, two seconds later.

The hall is stone silent!

''--Is it me, this infamous guy, no matter how much I express myself, I couldn't make myself acknowledged by others?...''

Just as he started to feel regret-

A loud clapping sound could be heard by Ash.

"Princess ...?"

That's right. Silvia, standing on the stage side curtain, took the lead by starting to applaud.

Rebecca also started clapping along.

Driven by both applauds, the sound of applause slowly spread from every corner of the venue.

Ash looked around the hall. His best friends, Raymond and Max, were smiling at him while clapping and cheering.

"Everyone!"

In a blink of an eye, the enthusiastic applause is similar to the speech by Silvia.

===Part 2===
The relieved Ash returned to the stage side curtain.

"Hmm ... pretty just so-so."

In just a moment, Silvia resumed immediately the usually chilly attitude. However, Ash decided to take it as a praise.

"It's all thanks to you, Princess... Eco is not present yet?"

Ash's pal, Eco, has yet to show up, which made him worry.

The main character of this office ceremony is by no means for only Ash and Silvia.

Some time ago during the celebration of the birth of young dragon Eco <Pal Party>, Rebecca kissed Ash, Silvia, and Eco's cheek, in the name of the initiation ceremony.

Since she accepted Rebecca's kiss, Eco became a member of the Student Council.

So, right after Silvia and Ash had their speech, it should be Eco who should be getting ready by the stage side curtain... However, she had disappeared without a trace.

"Indeed, she had been too late. Hopefully Cosette won't do some tricks... "

Silvia frowned.

Cosette was dispatched to Ansarivan from the palace to serve as Silvia's maid. While Ash was busy, he asked ask her to help take care of Eco.

"I'll take care of her clothing." After she learned that Eco will be going on stage, Cosette excitedly volunteered.

But that was two hours ago.

"Does picking clothes have to take so much time?"

"Cosette certainly loses herself while dressing up Eco as a doll. I can't help but pity her."

"You say it as if you have been a victim."

"Please don't make me remember it..."

Silvia looked very funny when she hugged her head.

===Part 3===
While Ash and Silvia are chattering, Rebecca was giving a speech in order to buy some time.

"... That day, Silvia with soulful eyes said to me, 'I will certainly do my best. Also…please call me by my name. At least in the Student Council, please do not take me as the Royal Princess of the Knight Country.'"

Rebecca vividly described to the students the actual scenes of the 'Pal Party'.

"... At that time, I felt as if someone had confessed to me. By the way, my fellow students, even though Silvia looks like an old fogy, in fact, she is one or two men to her liking-"

"President! That’s enough!"

Silvia raised her fist in anger, cursing from the side curtain offstage.

Suddenly laughter enveloped from the school hall.

At this moment…

''-Bang!''

The hall main door was slammed open by someone.

Everyone turned their head back to look behind the door.

The excited Rebecca proudly announced:

"Dear students, our third new member, Eco, has finally appeared!"

Eco walked majestically and the students separated into two to clear a path for her.

Followed after her steps, "Knock, knock" a chilled sound is echoed in the hall.

Cosette followed behind Eco. She was dressed in the usual maid attire and acted as Eco's retinue.

"Wh…what’s that?"

Ash stuck his head out from the stage side curtain, shocked.

Silvia was also stunned.

Rebecca, from the side, looked proudly at Eco as she progressd towards the stage, and introduced:

"As all of you had heard, Eco, Ash's partner, was born last month. I do not know why, but she has the appearance of a human even though
she’s a Dragon, so we can communicate with her. Therefore we decided to let Eco become the mascot of the Student Council and sincerely welcome her to join it!"

On the stage, Eco is looking around the whole school.

People can clearly feel the strong will of her bright, ruby-coloured eyes.

Her silvery-pink hair was light and elegant.

The sides of her head has the symbol of the dragon tribe, which are her horns. But because Eco is still a young dragon, the shape of her
horns do not look pointy, but more like ‘circular stubs’.

She was dressed in a luxurious black dress despite her petite body.

"Is that… Eco?"

Ash unconsciously murmured and muttered.

Eco's appearance is not only beautiful, her whole body emitted an elegant atmosphere. Even if one says that she is a princess, there is no reason someone would not believe it.

In fact, students seem to be subdued by Eco's beauty.

"Just say hello to everyone, Eco! Just do exactly as I taught you to do and there won’t be any problems."

The words Cosette whispered to Eco were overheard by Ash.

"Ar…Are you sure?"

Eco asked innocently.

"Of course. I, Cosette, promise you that this will be a great opportunity to immediately win everyone's hearts."

Cosette smiled.

Ash, confused by her words, felt a bad omen.

"Alright."

Eco, not bothered by Ash’s worries, bediently nodded, ''"huff ..."'' she inhaled deeply.

Everyone without exception became breathless and focuses their attention on Eco's every move.

Eco posed her hands high in the air like to intimidate...

"Gaoo!”

She let out a roar in front of the students in front of the whole school.

To say she is roaring is not right; the correct context should be more like reading directly from a script.

There was a brief moment of silence, and the hall was soon filled with laughter.

"Wh ... why is everyone laughing?"

The students’ response make her stunned.

===Part 4===
Apollo House is the student dormitory for male upperclassmen to live in.

Ash's personal room is located on the third floor.

Eco had settled here for about a month's time.

Although she is a dragon, a beautiful girl admitted to the male dormitory had set off a momentary uproar in the Apollo House. Since she had been living here for a month, many had already been accustomed to it.

Just right after she stepped into the room, Eco angrily stomped around.

"This is too outrageous! They actually dare to make fun of such a noble Dragon... this is a sin that cannot be forgiven! This is why I hate those stupid and ignorant humans!"

"You can't blame them... Your greeting is just too different. A dragon will never roar with 'Gaoo', right?”

When the fact that Ash’s simmering smile is reveal, Eco glared angrily at him.

"It's all Cosette's fault! She lied to me! She told me that a dragon must capture the hearts of everyone and it is the most effective way!"

"Okay... I got it."

"What do ''you'' know?"

"Simply put, Cosette saw you usually act high and mighty so she kindly helped you think out this plan. If it weren't for her advice... I‘m pretty sure that there would about an eighty percent chance of you going up the stage with your proud attitude and shout 'You bunch of stupid and ignorant humans…!' That sort of nonsense."

"Well..."

With Ash's deduction seeming entirely correct, Eco suddenly became speechless.

"So in order to avoid those awkward scenes, Cosette helped you in her own way. And the result is?"

"The result is that I just become the laughing stock for humans!"

"No, you're wrong. Everyone doesn't take you as a joke to laugh at."

"So why are they laughing?"

"No, you're wrong. Everyone thinks that this is very interesting and feels friendliness in you. On the other hand, that dress suits you."

"Huh ...?"

Eco's cheeks quickly turned red as if there was a wild fire burning.

"Are…are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Eco angrily shook her face to the side, but Ash cannot help but smile. All of a sudden he got carried away, and reaches out to pat Eco's head.

"Are you shy? Haha, it seems that you, too, have a cute side."

Her soft hair felt really comfortable, and Ash became addicted and couldn't stop himself.

"You......"

While facing one's own intoxicated and heavenly atmosphere, Eco's eyes suddenly burst out with a dangerous flare.

By looking closely you'll notice that she is frequently shaking her little fist.

"It appears that... you still don’t know your place."

"Hey, calm down, Eco......"

"I warned you, didn't I? Instead of you keeping me as a pet-"

Eco took a murderous step forward.

"I'm your owner! Now quickly kneel on the ground!"

"Uwa!"

In the instant he collided with Eco, he suddenly felt dizzy.

In the blink of an eye, Ash is facing the floor.

Eco pulled up her skirt and lifted her foot high up in the air.

Despite the small and exquisite size, it contained the power which is undoubtedly no different from a dragon.

Ash’s spine suddenly felt a chill.

"Wait a minute! By the way, are you hungry?"

"Don’t you worry. Before the ceremony, Cosette had given me something to eat."

The strategy with the food temptations was ineffective.

"Since you’re full... then you have to hurry and return the dress! Wearing such a dress while acting wild will crumple the clothes!”

"You don't need to worry so much. Besides, this dress is mine."

"No way! You can't take someone else’s things and claim them as your own!"

"Cosette presented it to me. I heard that this dress was originally Silvia's, but she had outgrown it."

"Why is it Cosette again...? 'Crack'!"

Before Ash could finish his sentence, Eco trampled his back.

"Shut up! I want you crushed!"

"You already crushed it... a while ago."

The force is so strong, it is hard to imagine the one standing on his back is the girl's tiny feet.

An uncomfortable amount of sweat flowed out from his forehead to the neck area.

"What did you just say?"

"Huff!"

Eco started to turn and twist her feet to draw a circle on Ash’s back.

Ash clearly heard the screams of his spine.

"My spine! My spine! Ah! Ah! Ah ......!"

"How is it? Now do you know where your place is?"

While he is gradually losing consciousness, Ash thought he saw an illusion of a sea of flowers.

===Part 5===
Christmas calendar year 1265. Half a month had already passed by in the month of Taurus.

After the Necromancia attack, Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy is finally getting ready for a school reopening.

If the word is a proper noun, proper adjective, or common nouns used as essential parts of proper nouns the stuttered words should be in capital letters.

Example 1: “B-Bucho, what is it?”

If the stuttering occurs at the beginning of the sentence and it is not a proper noun, proper adjective, or a common nouns used as essential parts of proper nouns, then the first stuttered letter should only be capitalised while all the other succeeding letters should be in lower case.

If the stuttering occurs in the middle of the sentence, then everything should be in lower case letters.

Example 3: “I've g-got to p-pick up a new b-book on vampires, m-myself.”

Since there are no equivalents to Japanese honorifics in the English language, Japanese honorifics will be kept.

KID2NR: /* Prologue */

{{Incomplete}}
==Prologue==

“So, will you come to work tomorrow? Our restaurant is having a headache with the lack of manpower.”

Anya replied with a smile: “Ok! I will follow manager's orders!”

This is Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy's La Tene cafe manager office.

A few days ago, Anya had walked through the academy's career center and found out about the staffing shortage; so she formed a plan.

Her master plan--Infiltrate the Dragon Academy and investigate a student named Ash Blake. The store manager responsible for interview was an extremely kind lady-always smiling, with no idea who Anya was, or what her agenda was.

<nowiki>----</nowiki>Aye, the Knight-Nation's citizen are so innocent.

Anya stood in front of the mirror practicing her smile, while mentally preparing herself for the mission.

Recently, Anya had suffered two significant defeats. She felt Ash Blake to be responsible for both.

If it was an enemy, the situation would have been solved with cold blood. But Anya's life was saved twice by him, which caused endless embarrassment for her.

The first time was in the deep forest when Ash risked his life to save her, even when she was trying to kill him.

The second time happened during the incident at St. Valeria's church. The unlucky Anya got caught up in the chaos and became a hostage, and the person who rescued her again was Ash.

Perhaps one could say it was misfortune that led to a stroke of luck. As Anya suffered through both incidents, she found the youth that may someday become an enemy named [Ash Blake].

By the way, Avdocha the Convicted was not the real Avdocha, but a fake impersonating the real thing.

Anya felt the wanted announcement to be real, but she was still suspicious.

The female terrorist who held up the church looked confident, but compared to the girl in the wanted poster, she was more petite; it was hard to believe she is Avdocha. But although she looked young and weak, her threatening aura felt real.

On the other hand, having Ash as the hostage negotiator was totally unspoken. Suddenly, any information regarding him became totally controlled.

Apparently, the government had taken steps to prevent his name from becoming public.

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 2 Prologue

2012-12-02T02:29:33Z

KID2NR: /* Part 1 */

{{Incomplete}}

==Prologue==
Lautreamont Knight Country, people called it the country of Dragon Breeders.

To the north was the Zepharos Empire, while to the south was the Chevron Kingdom.

Sandwiched between the two major powers, a small country with a population of not more than five million, had a special academy.

Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy.

Educating and guiding teenage boys and girls who formed a contract with dragons -- an academy for Dragon Breeders.

===Part 1===

"Well, we would like to introduce the new members of the Student Council for you students."

Rebecca declared in a loud voice to all the students who gathered in the lecture hall.

The Student Council president, Rebecca Randall, with the prestigious nickname "Scarlet Empress", looking like a marble statue, glorious and splendid, attracted the attention of all the students.

"First of all, in charge of Disciplinary Affairs, Silvia."

"Yes!"

After Silvia solemnly answered, she took a step forward from the stage side curtain.

"Blue Ice Princess"

Like the impression given through that name, Silvia's blue eyes were as cold as ice with bright blond hair that embellished her white beauty.

"I am Silvia Lautreamont and this is the first time I have joined the Student Council. Although I'm still young, inexperienced and have much to learn, I swear I will make every effort to maintain the discipline of Ansarivan Dragon Rider Academy. I hope that every student can take care of me in the future."

Her modest way of speaking caused many whispers among the students.

The overbearing aura of arrogance that previously surrounded Silvia had suddenly disappeared.

Silvia gracefully took a bow and the audience burst into thunderous applause. Because of the enthusiastic applause, Silvia herself couldn't help but feel confused.

Maybe because she felt very reluctant(?), Silvia dashed toward to the side of the stage behind the curtains.

"Your speech was great."

Ash, who also became a Student Council member at the same time, was standing by the stage smiling cheekily towards the Silvia who ran off the stage because of her shyness.

"What's so great about that..."

Perhaps that she is not accustomed to being praised, Silvia blushed. Because of her embarrassment she looked down at the ground. After a while her swollen face suddenly stiffened, and she snappily asked Ash:

"That's none of your concern! Why don't you mind your own buisness! You're going up on the stage next. Are you sure you'll be all right?"

"Th...That's..."

For the infamous Ash who is the school's most problematic student, naturally, this is the first time he would be on stage in this situation. He would be lying if he said that he was not nervous.

"Gosh(?)...I envy you, princess who does not have anything to do with the word 'tense'."

"Don't be silly. I also felt tense!"

Ash, shocked by Silvia's aggressive manner, coludn't help but shrink back.

"Ah, sorry. Because you didn't seem nervous, I couldn't help but ..."

"As the king's daughter, I was raised to be brought to participate in many ceremonies, so I do not have stage fright ... However, it is also impossible not to feel nervous."

"Is it? Then I feel a little better."

After seeing Ash laughing out of the blue, Silvia looked surprised.

"So even Her Royal Highness will be nervous. Ah... then it is quite rightly for ordinary people like me to feel nervous. After knowing about this, I suddenly feel relieved. Thank you!"

"I-It's nothing. There's no need to thank me for something this small."

Silvia embarrassingly turned her face to the side.

"Well, I'll introduce the next member who is the school's 'Number-One Problem Child', where he is now turning a new leaf. In charge of General Affairs, Ash Blake."

A noisy boiling atmosphere emerged in the hall right after Rebecca's sentence.

"To put it another way, 'General Affairs' means to help in anything. So no matter what difficulties we run into, feel free to discuss it with Ash.

Seeing the increasingly boiling atmosphere, Ash could not help but feel distressed.

Looking from the center of the stage to the entire hall, a total of four hundred students from basic and advanced courses, densely filled the entire field of vision.

"Shit..."

Obviously, just before this moment, he could relax thanks to Silvia's help, but after he stood on stage, the feeling of nervousness emerged without his knowledge.

"..."

Ash suddenly worried about the bandage covering his left arm.

On Ash's left arm, imprinted with the <Seikoku> pattern.

Any breeder must have an imprint trace, but Ash's <Seikoku> area is extremely large in which it covered almost all of his left arm.

Because of this, Ash's everyday life had always been with a bandage-covering <Seikoku> to avoid it from being striking.

This morning, he had been even more careful than usual while wrapping his bandage.

Even so, in the view of the audience, there is a feeling of uneasiness - fearing that his <Seikoku> will be seen by the audience through clothing and bandages.

"Hey ... you better stay strong."

At this time, Silvia's soft sound could be heard whispering in his ears.

Ash pretend to turn his head around casually and found out that Silvia is staring directly at him.

"...Princess?"

Silvia, who held her fist towards her chest, forcefully nodded.

- To think the princess would actually cheer for me ...!

Even though it was a small action, Ash suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

He gazed back to the students.

"Uh ... I have just become a member of the Student Council. My name is Ash Blake. To be honest, I don't know what to do...... Wha... Whatever it is, I will do my job with all my might, so please take care of me!"

After he truthfully expressed his feelings, Ash gave a deep bow.

While maintaining his posture, one second passed, two seconds later.

The hall is stone silent!

It is me, this infamous guy, no matter how much I express myself, I couldn't make myself acknowledged by others?... Just as he started to feel regret-

A loud clapping sound could be heard by Ash.

"Princess ...?"

That's right. Silvia, standing on the stage side curtain, took the lead by starting to applaud.

Rebecca also immediately started clapping along.

Driven by both applauds, the sound of applause slowly spread from every corner of the venue.

Ash looked around the hall. His best friends, Raymond and Max, were smiling at him while clapping and cheering.

"Everyone!"

In a blink of an eye, the enthusiastic applause is similar to the speech by Silvia.

===Part 2===
The relieved Ash returned to the stage side curtain.

"Hmm ... pretty just so-so."

In just a moment, Silvia resumed immediately the usually chilly attitude. However, Ash decided to take it as a praise.

"It's all thanks to you, Princess... Eco is not present yet?"

Ash's pal, Eco, has yet to show up, which made him worry.

The main character of this office ceremony is by no means for only Ash and Silvia.

Some time ago during the celebration of the birth of young dragon Eco <Pal Party>, Rebecca kissed Ash, Silvia, and Eco's cheek, in the name of the initiation ceremony.

Since she accepted Rebecca's kiss, Eco became a member of the Student Council.

So, right after Silvia and Ash had their speech, it should be Eco who should be getting ready by the stage side curtain... However, she had disappeared without a trace.

"Indeed, she had been too late. Hopefully Cosette won't do some tricks... "

Silvia frowned.

Cosette was dispatched to Ansarivan from the palace to serve as Silvia's maid. While Ash was busy, he asked ask her to help take care of Eco.

"I'll take care of her clothing." After she learned that Eco will be going on stage, Cosette excitedly volunteered.

But that was two hours ago.

"Does picking clothes have to take so much time?"

"Cosette certainly loses herself while dressing up Eco as a doll. I can't help but pity her."

"You say it as if you have been a victim."

"Please don't make me remember it..."

Silvia looked very funny when she hugged her head.

===Part 3===
While Ash and Silvia are chattering, Rebecca was giving a speech in order to buy some time.

"... That day, Silvia with soulful eyes said to me, 'I will certainly do my best. Also…please call me by my name. At least in the Student Council, please do not take me as the Royal Princess of the Knight Country.'"

Rebecca vividly described to the students the actual scenes of the 'Pal party'.

"... At that time, I felt as if someone had confessed to me. By the way, my fellow students, even though Silvia looks like an old fogy, in fact, she is one or two men to her liking-"

"President! That’s enough!"

Silvia raised her fist in anger, cursing from the side curtain offstage.

Suddenly laughter enveloped from the school hall.

At this moment…

-Bang!

The hall main door was slammed open by someone.

Everyone turned their head back to look behind the door.

The excited Rebecca proudly announced:

"Dear students, our third new member, Eco, has finally appeared!"

Eco walked majestically and the students separated into two to clear a path for her.

Followed after her steps, "Knock, knock" a chilled sound is echoed in the hall.

Cosette followed behind Eco. She was dressed in the usual maid attire and acted as Eco's retinue.

"Wh…what’s that?"

Ash stuck his head out from the stage side curtain, shocked.

Silvia was also stunned.

Rebecca, from the side, looked proudly at Eco as she progressd towards the stage, and introduced:

"As all of you had heard, Eco, Ash's partner, was born last month. I do not know why, but she has the appearance of a human even though
she’s a Dragon, so we can communicate with her. Therefore we decided to let Eco become the mascot of the Student Council and sincerely welcome her to join it!"

On the stage, Eco is looking around the whole school.

People can clearly feel the strong will of her bright, ruby-coloured eyes.

Her silvery-pink hair was light and elegant.

The sides of her head has the symbol of the dragon tribe, which are her horns. But because Eco is still a young dragon, the shape of her
horns do not look pointy, but more like ‘circular stubs’.

She was dressed in a luxurious black dress despite her petite body.

"Is that… Eco?"

Ash unconsciously murmured and muttered.

Eco's appearance is not only beautiful, her whole body emitted an elegant atmosphere. Even if one says that she is a princess, there is no reason someone would not believe it.

In fact, students seem to be subdued by Eco's beauty.

"Just say hello to everyone, Eco! Just do exactly as I taught you to do and there won’t be any problems."

The words Cosette whispered to Eco were overheard by Ash.

"Ar…are you sure?

Eco asked innocently.

"Of course. I, Cosette, promise you that this will be a great opportunity to immediately win everyone's hearts."

Cosette smiled.

Ash, confused by her words, felt a bad omen.

"Alright."

Eco, not bothered by Ash’s worries, bediently nodded, "huff ..." she inhaled deeply.

Everyone without exception became breathless and focuses their attention on Eco's every move.

Eco posed her hands high in the air like to intimidate...

"Gaoo!”

She let out a roar in front of the students in front of the whole school.

To say she is roaring is not right; the correct context should be more like reading directly from a script.

There was a brief moment of silence, and the hall was soon filled with laughter.

"Wh ... why is everyone laughing?"

The students’ response make her stunned.

===Part 4===
Apollo House is the student dormitory for male upperclassmen to live in.

Ash's personal room is located on the third floor.

Eco had settled here for about a month's time.

Although she is a dragon, a beautiful girl admitted to the male dormitory had set off a momentary uproar in the Apollo House. Since she had been living here for a month, many had already been accustomed to it.

Just right after she stepped into the room, Eco angrily stomped around.

"This is too outrageous! They actually dare to make fun of such a noble Dragon... this is a sin that cannot be forgiven! This is why I hate those stupid and ignorant humans!"

"You can't blame them... Your greeting is just too different. A dragon will never roar with ‘Gaoo’, right?”

When the fact that Ash’s simmering smile is reveal, Eco glared angrily at him.

"It's all Cosette's fault! She lied to me! She told me that a dragon must capture the hearts of everyone and it is the most effective way!"

"Okay... I got it."

"What do ''you'' know?"

"Simply put, Cosette saw you usually act high and mighty so she kindly helped you think out this plan. If it weren't for her advice... I‘m pretty sure that there would about an eighty percent chance of you going up the stage with your proud attitude and shout 'You bunch of stupid and ignorant humans…!' That sort of nonsense."

"Well..."

With Ash's deduction seeming entirely correct, Eco suddenly became speechless.

"So in order to avoid those awkward scenes, Cosette helped you in her own way. And the result is?"

"The result is that I just become the laughing stock for humans!"

"No, you're wrong. Everyone doesn't take you as a joke to laugh at."

"So why are they laughing?"

"No, you're wrong. Everyone thinks that this is very interesting and feels friendliness in you. On the other hand, that dress suits you."

"Huh ...?"

Eiko's cheeks quickly turned red as if there was a wild fire burning.

"Are…are you alright?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Eco angrily shook her face to the side, but Ash cannot help but smile. All of a sudden he got carried away, and reaches out to pat Eco's head.

"Are you shy? Haha, it seems that you, too, have a cute side."

Her soft hair felt really comfortable, and Ash became addicted and couldn't stop himself.

"You......"

While facing one's own intoxicated and heavenly atmosphere, Eco's eyes suddenly burst out with a dangerous flare.

By looking closely you'll notice that she is frequently shaking her little fist.

"It appears that... you still don’t know your place."

"Hey, calm down, Eco......"

"I warned you, didn't I? Instead of you keeping me as a pet-"

Eco took a murderous step forward.

"I'm your owner! Now quickly kneel on the ground!"

"Uwa!"

In the instant he collided with Eco, he suddenly felt dizzy.

In the blink of an eye, Ash is facing the floor.

Eco pulled up her skirt and lifted her foot high up in the air.

Despite the small and exquisite size, it contained the power which is undoubtedly no different from a dragon.

Ash’s spine suddenly felt a chill.

"Wait a minute! By the way, are you hungry?"

"Don’t you worry. Before the ceremony, Cosette had given me something to eat."

The strategy with the food temptations ineffective.

"Since you’re full... then you have to hurry and return the dress! Wearing such a dress while acting wild will crumple the clothes!”

"You don't need to worry so much. Besides, this dress is mine."

"No way! You can't take someone else’s things and claim them as your own!"

"Cosette presented it to me. I heard that this dress was originally Sylvia's, but she had outgrown it."

"Why is it Cosette again...? ‘Crack’!"

Before Ash could finish his sentence, Eco trampled his back.

"Shut up! I want you crushed!"

"You already crushed it... a while ago."

The force is so strong, it is hard to imagine the one standing on his back is the girl's tiny feet.

An uncomfortable amount of sweat flowed out from his forehead to the neck area.

"What did you just say?"

"Huff!"

Eco started to turn and twist her feet to draw a circle on Ash’s back.

Ash clearly heard the screams of his spine.

"My spine! My spine! Ah! Ah! Ah ......!"

"How is it? Now do you know where your place is?"

While he is gradually losing consciousness, Ash thought he saw an illusion of a sea of flowers.

===Part 5===
Christmas calendar year 1265. Half a month had already passed by in the month of Taurus.

Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi:Volume 3 Prologue

2012-12-02T01:11:05Z

KID2NR:

{{Incomplete}}
==Prologue==

“So, will you come to work tomorrow? Our restaurant is having a headache with the lack of manpower.”

Anya replied with a smile: “Ok! I will follow manager's orders!”

This is Ansarivan Dragon Riding Academy's La Tene cafe manager office.

A few days ago, Anya had walked through the academy's career center and found out about the staffing shortage; so she formed a plan.

Her master plan--Infiltrate the Dragon Academy and investigate a student named Ash Blake. The store manager responsible for interview was an extremely kind lady-always smiling, with no idea who Anya was, or what her agenda was.

<nowiki>----</nowiki>Aye, the Knight-Nation's citizen are so innocent.

Anya stood in front of the mirror practicing her smile, while mentally preparing herself for the mission.

Recently, Anya had suffered two significant defeats. She felt Ash Blake to be responsible for both.

If it was an enemy, the situation would have been solved with cold blood. But Anya's life was saved twice by him, which caused endless embarrassment for her.

The first time was in the deep forest when Ash risked his life to save her, even when she was trying to kill him.

The second time happened during the St. (untranslated name) church incident. The unlucky Anya got caught up in the chaos and became a hostage, and the person who rescued her again was Ash.

Perhaps one could say it was misfortune that led to a stroke of luck. As Anya suffered through both incidents, she found the youth that may someday become an enemy was named [Ash Blake].

By the way, Avdocha the Convicted was not the real Avdocha, but a fake impersonating the real thing.

Anya felt the wanted announcement to be real, but she was still suspicious.

The female terrorist who held up the church looked confident, but compared to the girl in the wanted poster, she was more petite; it was hard to believe she is Avdocha. But although she looked young and weak, her threatening aura felt real.

On the other hand, having Ash as the hostage negotiator was totally unspoken. Suddenly, any information regarding him became totally controlled.

Apparently, the government had taken steps to prevent his name from becoming public.

If anything significant needs to be done, such as any large additions, disputes to listed translations to a term or name, or formatting issues, please feel free to post them at the [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5484 Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi] discussion thread.

All edited translations are to be in British English.

Example 1: “B-Bucho, what is it?”

If the stuttering occurs at the beginning of the sentence and it is not a proper noun, proper adjective, or a common nouns used as essential parts of proper nouns, then the first stuttered letter should only be capitalised while all the other succeeding letters should be in lower case.
