Volu 1, Chapter 3: The Apprentice Knight Caria Burdnick
This person was full of pride for being a Knight and for belonging to the Knight’s Order. Her na is Caria Burdnick.
However, her concept of being a knight differs a little from the other knights, who put chivalry above everything else.
What is a Knight for Caria Burdnick? For her, a Knight needs to be strong. It does not matter if a Knight needs a kind heart to help others or if it will throw its life in the na of justice. For her, if a person is weak in strength, then she won’t recognize this person as a Knight.
Therefore, to her, strength is not directly intended to protect the weak. She said once that power is the only ans to “win” sothing stronger. Powerful people, whether be it categorized as physical strength or wealth, are the ones who strive, while the weaklings are the ones who perish. Caria Burdnick believes sincerely on this philosophy of life. I am quite certain this is the way she thinks, even now.
She believes so firmly in this “the strongest’ theory”, that she beca quite arrogant in judging people. Oh my, this is so nostalgic. She used to say to that I was worthless because I was a weakling.
*tallic sound*
Suddenly, I saw with my own eyes where the sound ca from. Caria Burdnick was fighting with a sword a huge boar-like beast several tis larger than herself. The sight of her silver-hair swinging around has she was fighting, was ethereal.
One of the things that allowed Caria Burdnick to be aggressive in battle was her wit. The other was in her utmost effort. She is unquestionably beautiful. There was a rumor by the ti she joined the Knights that won with a striking appearance who aspired to be in the Order were increasing. No one knows if the authenticity of the rumor was true or false, but it is certain that she was strong and beautiful by the ti such a rumor spread. It’s situations like this that slips through the cracks. It’s such a blasphemous way of life as opposed to the one the weak live.
I don’t want to. I really don’t want to go over there. The only person I want to see is Ariene. Why do I have to see a detestable person who doesn’t give a damn about others?
Caria Burdnick is a person who has made her enemy on every possible way when we were together on the Party’s journey. The reason is simple. It was because I was the underdog of the team. Therefore, I felt discrimination, prejudice and oppression. Life was really excruciating, I never t her standards and she never showed tolerance. I truly hate her.

「It’s strange…she should have overthrown that beast by now…what is she waiting for? 」
I was observing Caria Burdnick’s sword skill against that beast from the top of a tree. I imdiately cringed.
I rember the ti when I was here. I still had so conscience on my heart, so I tried to stop Caria Burdnick from trying to fight that devil beast.
However, she punched and said to step back. I was hit on the face, broke my nose and fell unconsciously on the ground. When I woke up, I realized that it was already nightfall and the combat was finished.
Yes, that’s right. I recall that this fight in the forest made Caria Burdnick a na for herself in the world. I didn’t saw the scene so I can’t speak much, but many say that she killed a superbly dangerous monster.
On the other hand, I was a failure. Obviously, I didn’t complete the investigation in the forest. The recognition was directed to soone else, and during that ti the old man Richard stopped giving side jobs, even the simplest job wasn’t given to anymore. People bullied with awful nicknas, and so I had a miserable youth from that mont on.
Ah, I can hear my heart beating angrily as I recall those days.
Even if my heart beats with anger, it must be true that Caria Burdnick defeated that monster over there. However, it is strangely taking a long ti to defeat that thing. No, that’s not it. There really is sothing wrong going on there.
She brilliantly swings her sword at that monster, but that’s just it. She clearly lacks determination power. There are several openings that she could use to strike that beast, but she is not using them to her advantage.
「Just what is she doing? 」
I press my teeth. What are those sloppy skills? Is that really Caria Burdnick? I never saw her fight like that. She never used useless moves. She was very ticulous to every detail, everything was calculated and her sword skill showed trendous capacity.
I really hated her. Yes, I hated her skills too. However, I must say her power was undoubtedly real. Even though I hated her, I recognized her talent. Then, what’s that? That fighting style is totally immature and incomplete. Did she defeat that monster with those sword skills?
I don’t know why I feel so angry right now. I don’t know why I bite my lips and strengthen my eyes. I don’t know anything about myself anymore. My mind is extrely complicated.
The main antagonist of my life was slowly being defeated. Caria Burdnick, the one who killed countless demons and beasts, is losing her fighting posture.
The beast roared heavily. She didn’t regain her fighting posture yet. I can sense that she is at the limit of her physical strength, and that monstrous beast continues to groan. When you look closely at that kind of opponent, that thing is not an enemy, it’s just hunting a prey.
*deflection tallic sounds*
Her sword bounced back from the beast’s fang attack, and the reverberation sound from her sword was heard across the forest. She took a step back to avoid the next attack, but she could only avoid it slightly. The beast was too close to her and that allowed the monster to strike more efficiently.
Suddenly, I rembered. If I recall it correctly, she had a deep scar on her shoulder. When I saw that wound for the first ti, it gave chills.
「Ah, I can’t believe it…! What’s wrong with her! 」
I…I can’t. I don’t even want to look at it at all.
I hate her. That’s why I hate her so much. I searched for what was on my green rag bag, and I found two knives. They’re old and cheap. But I think it’s enough, all I’ll have to do is strike once. I’ll aim directly at the big eyes of that demon beast.
Thankfully, that thing is focused on a defenseless Caria Burdnick. Hence, I will make sure not to miss my attack.
I’ll jump and kill. All I need to do is keep a straight line and cut.
I ran over and jumped; my body ca face to face with the beast and I aid at his eyes, the weakest part of his body.
I tore his eyes apart and the beast let out an excruciating sound.
*monster screams intensely*
The iron from the knives gutted the flesh and blood flew out. The knives stabbed through his eyes and into his skull, the attack proved to be successful as the demon beast fell to the ground.
