Linn is enrolled in the National Ubalsa Academy, one of the country's leading vocations, where the owners of divine weapons attend.
　The name "Ubalsa" was taken from the name of a legendary hero who is said to have single-handedly driven away hordes of demons that flooded the city from the demon world.

　A little northeast of the royal capital, the city was built around the Ubalsa Academy.
　Many of the people living in the city are also graduates of the school. In addition, because the distance to the royal capital is moderately close, and yet the cost of living is cheaper than that of the royal capital, many of the lower-grade knights have houses in this city.

　For this reason, it was the second most developed city in the country after the King's Capital.
　When it came to safety, it was famous as a place that was said to be even better than the royal capital.
　It was also meant to protect the children who attended the Ubalsa School.

　As for Linn, who was brought into the academy half-heartedly, well...

Come on, get up, Linn.

　Her roommate was rocking her body.
　The woman who shook Lynn was Benny. Benny, with her fluffy blonde hair swinging, is somewhat smaller in stature than Lynn.

　Overall, she has a small appearance, but she was the same age as Linn and was a hero.

No, I don't want to get up!
Again, don't say that. Well, I'm going to throw this letter I just received away.

　Benny shook him to show him the letter that arrived with the package.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right.
　It's a fast move, partly because of the physical skills he trained as a brave man.

　Benny quickly dodged it, too, and the two began to play tag.
　Eventually, Lynn took the letter back from Benny and picked it up.
　The letter says 'The Migratory Bird Innkeeper'.

'That's nice, that someone would give me a letter like that.'

　Benny stared at Lynn's hand.
　Benny didn't know anyone originally, as he was from the slums.
　It was only because he happened to be given the profession of a brave man in the oracle ceremony that he was able to be here.

　If the results had been terrible, he would still be living in the slums even now.
　That was one of the reasons why Benny's body was generally small.
　Lynn had heard that from her too, so she gave him a vague smile.

'Benny's going to have a lot more to do. I'm already that close to him, too.
It's not because I'm jealous of those things, you know.

　Benny shook his head, looking flustered.
　Lynn shifted her gaze from Benny to the letter.

　There were many letters, and inside was a necklace of red magic stones.

'Beautiful. 'A gift?'
Maybe?

　Lynn looks through them one by one.
　Lynn flipped through the letters, thinking that she would read them slowly later, except for the letter she wanted to read.
　When Lynn found the letters, her mouth relaxed.

''What is it?　A letter from your boyfriend?
I mean, it's not like that!　We're just childhood friends!
So you have a crush on him?
No!

　Lynn was trying hard to deny it, but Benny saw the grin on Lynn's face and his mouth relaxed into a grin.
　Lynn moved away from Benny to run away from him and look through the letter.
　It contained information about the things that had changed recently and how he was able to make a living as a blacksmith.

''Well this was made by Lelius.
What? Who made that?

　Benny reacted to Lynn's words as she mumbled.
　Lynn closed her mouth in a hurry and shook her head.

'What, was it a gift from your boyfriend?
'He's not my boyfriend!　I mean, if you've been listening, don't ask me nasty questions!
I didn't catch your name. It sounds like a lot of fun.

　Benny loosens his mouth and then changes into the school's uniform.
　Lynn lowers the red magic stone necklace around her neck. Then she looked at the mirror in her room and thanked him heartily.

　Following Benny's example as he began to change clothes, Lin also sleeves into his uniform.
　The school's uniforms are made by top-notch 'craftsmen'.

　For that reason, it was thought that every uniform was given a high performance skill.
　Since there is no one in this world who can judge what skills have been granted, we don't know the effects in detail.
　However, the products made by the so-called top-tier 'craftsmen' have good skills attached to them.

　It is also said that being able to choose a uniform with the right skills for you is also a talent.
　Lynne slides the sleeves on the uniform and checks the necklace.
　The necklace swings around the chest and gives off a strange sense of power.

'You shouldn't look so sloppy,'
You are?
Yeah, that's pretty much it. We're supposed to be heroic and set an example for everyone, you know?
'I don't want to be a brave man, but I don't want to be an example to everyone.

　Lin was getting somewhat used to fighting, but he was still not used to being given a second glance as a 'brave man'.

''But. It's a great opportunity, you know?　We get a special allowance for acting brave and we get invited to the nobleman's ball!　You could be sitting on a ball!　Money guzzling!
I guess I'd rather be more normal....not like a nobleman or anything.
It's okay that Lynn already has a boyfriend, but I don't!
He's not here!
Anyway, I'm going to marry a famous aristocrat and become one!　I'm going to make my parents sorry for abandoning me!

　Benny with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
　Feeling the smile on Benny's face as he clenched his fists and talked about his dreams, Lynn's mouth relaxed too.

'We're investigating the labyrinth today, aren't we?
Yeah, I know. Well, what's wrong with us?
'Yeah, I know. Sometimes I'd like to get a request for an expedition or something.
What, do you miss home?
Hmmm, a little bit.
'An expedition, huh? As I recall, Lynn's hometown is about a week's drive from here and back, right?　You're right, it's not very often you get to go that far away on commission, is it?
Yeah.

　Requests are basically made in the vicinity.
　When calling for people from far away, it is only when a very powerful demon appears and it is deemed impossible for those in the vicinity to handle it.

　If such a demon appears, the knights will be sent out.
　The growth of the 'heroes' of this season was certainly outstanding, but even so, the knights are still indeed more skilled.

''Anyway, I'll raise my level until I can do a lot of things freely!　So, if we get strong, the nobles will come to us like ants!
Oh, Benny. Sorry to say it but.........level up, huh? Benny's level 10 now, right?
Yes. Lynn is 12, right?　I'll catch up with you in a minute.

　Benny smiles as he sticks his finger at me with a narrow finger.

'I can't lose, either, can I?'
Yeah. Let's see who can hunt more demons today! Who can hunt more demons today?

　Benny smiles at her, and Lynn smiles back.
　Lynn grips the hilt of the Excalibur inserted in her waist.
　He opens the door to the room and begins his day as a brave man.
