Julius felt Rasengan's head whirling with the sound of wind, and opened his mouth to say something.
But for a while, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
He really wanted to refute Subaru Natsuki's words. After all, it would be absolutely easy for him to think of it.
But everything happened too fast, he was almost pulled into the earth, and the ball of light in Subaru Natsuki's hand was already pressed against his forehead.
If this wasn't just a trial, at this moment he believed that the ball would definitely hit his head, and he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die, so he still wanted to thank the other party for showing mercy.
"I lost!"
After thinking through all this, Julius openly admitted his failure. He was not a knight who couldn't afford to lose.
Admitting one's failures generously and learning humbly are also part of the knight's code.
When these three words rang out, the whole place fell into silence.
But after a moment, a burst of cheers rang out.
"Ouch! That's amazing, the newcomer actually defeated the deputy captain!"
"This is a competition that dazzles me. The gorgeous Magic and the unique fighting skills. I don't want to miss it for a second!"
A series of noisy judgment calls continued to sound.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
Priscilla, who covered his small mouth with a folding fan, had a flash of interest in his eyes at this moment.
"Al! How about we go down and get to know this new knight!"
"Miss, it's better not to give it up!"
He was afraid that the eldest lady would say something shocking again soon.
Priscilla's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Al, you are such a boring knight!"
After saying that, he held up his skirt and left the place angrily.
Balan shook his head with a wry smile when he saw this, and his eyes under the helmet showed a strange color.
Look down at Subaru Natsuki who is excitedly telling something to the silver-haired half-elf.
"What a lucky guy!"
Balan murmured softly.
As a fellow time traveler, he was not as lucky as the guy below. In fact, he noticed Subaru Natsuki as soon as he arrived at Royal Capital.
After all, he could sense the similar aura at a glance.
He was summoned 18 years ago. As soon as he came to this world, he became a sword slave and lost his arms in the duel. He finally struggled until now and achieved his current status.
As for the guy below, he met the candidate Royal Selection as soon as he came to this world, and he was lucky enough to have such a good talent. To be honest, Al was quite jealous.
"But let's get in touch first..."
Al glanced at Subaru Natsuki and quickly followed his eldest lady. After all, if he didn't follow closely, this eldest lady with no common sense would not know what kind of joke he would make.
"Emilia, you saw it! My handsome appearance just now!"
Subaru Natsuki proudly touched his hair gel at this time, twisted in strange postures, and made a shape with fingers reaching into the sky.
"Well! Ang has really become very powerful!"
Emilia said sincerely.
"Ahem, can you excuse me?"
Subaru Natsuki, who originally received praise from Emilia, felt a little overwhelmed, but the next moment a strange voice broke in, and he suppressed his excitement in an instant.
"You are..."
Subaru Natsuki, looked at Crusch, a beauty dressed in men's clothing, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Hello, let me introduce myself, one of the five Royal Selection, Crusch, Karsten! I have to say that your battle today was very exciting. Are you interested in becoming a knight by my side?"
Subaru Natsuki's expression slowly became silent.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I only have Emilia in my heart!"
Crusch had a knowing smile on his face.
"As expected! I knew that people like Qing would be difficult to recruit.
But I still can't help but love the talent in my heart. Your name is Subaru Natsuki! I want to tell you that I am not a person who gives up easily, so you should be prepared to be conquered by me!"
Subaru Natsuki At this moment, he felt the sincerity of the girl, and his original wariness slowly dropped, and his face gradually became serious.
"Ah! I know, but my determination to protect Emilia will never waver!"
Hearing Subaru Natsuki's firm answer, Crusch couldn't help but look at Emilia who was still a little at a loss.
"You are really a lucky person! You look like the half-elf Witch!"
After saying that, without waiting for Emilia's body to freeze, he led a group of people and strode towards the outside of the training ground.
On the way back, Emilia felt a little uneasy.
"Ang! You really won't leave me!"
Subaru Natsuki was stunned for a moment in his originally comfortable mood, and then reacted instantly.
"Emilia! I hope you won't be affected by what happened just now. I, Subaru Natsuki, am willing to give my life for Emilia!"
Emilia's eyes trembled, and the uneasiness in his heart did not go away, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Well! Ang, I believe you!"
However, the young man did not notice the uneasiness beneath the girl's smile. Instead, he was fascinated by the pretended strength.
"Emilia, you look so beautiful when you smile!"
Soon the official Royal Selection will begin.
In the splendid hall, a red carpet extends from the stone door carved with ancient patterns to the throne on the high platform.
Civil and military officials stood on both sides of the hall. At the entrance was a group of Royal Guard dressed in white uniforms and standing in neat rows.
The entire hall was filled with solemnity and sanctity at this moment.
With the ancient carved stone door opening
The five Royal Selection candidates led their knights to the center of the palace under the watchful eyes of everyone.
A middle-aged man wearing silver-white armor walked towards the high platform of the palace.
A pair of sharp eyes on the sharp face scanned the people below.
"Well, I believe you all already know the significance of this conference!
Just a few years ago, Imperial House personnel passed away one after another. Dragon Kingdom was in urgent need of a new king and signed a contract with the dragon.
According to the prophecy on the ancient stone tablet, Dragon Kingdom, there will be five witches who can sign a contract with the dragon, and the new king will be selected from among them, which is the so-called Royal Selection.
Now that everyone is here, please come here, all the candidates! Next, I will read your names and identities, and you can state your own declaration and future philosophy of governing the country.
After the man finished speaking, he bowed to the great sages of Council of Sages who were sitting on both sides of the throne.
A great sage with white hair and an old face slowly stood up.
"Then let's get started!"
"Yes! Great Sage!"
After saying this, the man stood up straight and looked solemn.
"First of all, please invite Master Priscilla and her attendant Al!"
When the man finished reading his name, Priscilla, who half covered his face with a folding fan, showed a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"Royal Selection is meaningless. I am the most suitable person to become a king. All you need to do is crawl at my feet, kneel and lick me!"
These harsh words shocked everyone in an instant. Al, who was following Priscilla, felt an aura of social death coming towards his face.
However, before many officials below could discuss it, the man directly ignored the girl's second grade and continued to chant the name of the next Royal Selection winner.
"Then the next one, the contemporary head of the Karsten House family, Crusch, Carl Lord Sten, and his attendant knights Felix, Argyle!"
Crusch, with long dark green hair, was wearing a dark blue Kingdom officer's uniform today, which gave her an aura of being a woman, and her slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
"When I become the king, I will make the dragon forget the previous covenant. Dragon Kingdom does not belong to the dragon, but to our country!"
It must be said that he is a leader who has been trained since childhood. His speeches are quite satisfactory and a little inspiring.
After all, a country controlled by foreigners is somewhat looked down upon in this world. If the dragon can be made to forget the covenant and just be a mascot to protect the kingdom.
Then there is no doubt that Dragon Kingdom will once again have the right to speak in this world.
At this moment, even the man wearing armor on the high platform couldn't help but nod.
Then he looked at the next person.
"Lord Anastasia of Hoshin Company, and his attendant knight Julius."
Wearing a white fur cloak and a pink bow tie on her chest, the sweet-looking girl and the same white cylindrical velvet hat and her knight bowed slightly to the high platform.
"I'm very greedy, so I want everything. No matter how successful I am in business, I can't be more satisfied than having a country of my own!"
After speaking, the girl narrowed her eyes slightly, gently clasped her hands together, and leaned against her cheek, as if she was already imagining the scene of becoming a king.
The man on the high platform was slightly silent, and then looked at Emilia, who was a little nervous, with a trace of imperceptible disgust in his eyes.
"Next is the half-elf from the border Earl leader, Lord Emilia, and her new Royal Capital knight Subaru Natsuki!"
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, there was a commotion below.
"What, half-elf, and silver hair? Isn't this the symbol of Witch of Envy! Such a dirty product can also become a candidate for the kingdom!"
At this time, a minister stood up excitedly and refuted.
"Yes! Yes! This time Royal Selection is normal except for the first three, but the last two are nothing.
One is a half-demon monster, and the other is a pariah from the slums. We will never allow the two of them to become candidates for the kingdom!"
I originally expected that my favorite Emilia carbon would be like the first three Royal Selection people, and Subaru Natsuki, who made a confident and bold statement, gradually faded and turned dark.
"You guys... are calling someone dirty! Shut up!"
A loud shout resounded throughout the palace, and Emilia, who had lowered his head at first when the people below said so, raised his head in shock.
"Is this the nobleman of Royal Capital! He really has no manners at all. Haven't your parents taught you that it is impolite to interrupt other people's important speeches at will!"
At this moment, Subaru Natsuki, suppressing the anger in his heart, spoke word by word to the officials below.
