In front of the stables of the Royal College, first-year students were taught.
"I've ridden horses about 60% of the time this year, but I'll start with the basics of riding classes.
If you have experience, try to review it, if you don't have one, try to do it.
First, we will explain each piece of equipment to be attached to a horse.
This horse is fitted with riding equipment. "
The teacher explains.
The Smiths are taking classes seriously.
"Hey, hey, Smith.
Let's go and buy some horse equipment, all of us. "
Eden whispered to Smith.
"... I'm in class."
"Well, well, are you free today?"
I've also invited Lord Grace and Kyle. ”
"Hah... everyone's schedule is set."
I'm free.
Do you know the store? "
"Oh, Lord Grace is going to take me to a shop I know."
"Royal?"
"Apparently for aristocrats and merchants."
"Is that... are you okay?"
"Do you doubt His Highness Grace's shop?"
"No... not that way, but the price."
No matter how much you say whip and clothes, it's going to be quite a price, isn't it? "
"... I'll go to my parents' house before the meeting."
I'll tell Kyle, too. ”
"Yeah, I'll tell Gina too, so she can prepare a lot."
Now, we have to listen to the lesson. "
"Oh... that's right."
Smith and Eden listened to the lesson.
Gina looked around the stables with the rest of the staff without listening to the lesson.
There was an aristocrat body even though I didn't go every time, so from the first time to a few times, the horse was selected as a priority, so I was supposed to see it first.
The point is that consideration was given to not failing in front of the people.
"Gina-sama, what about this horse?"
Somehow, it's calm, and it seems to be relaxing. ”
Grace's bauer asked Gina.
"It's... looks like you're old enough to grow old.
It seemed like it would be good for Master Bauer and Lord Grace.
I think it's a good idea to pick a similar horse. ”
Gina answers.
The Byron with Eden and the Bull with Kyle's are a little further than the two of us.
"I think a young horse is good for us.
I think it would be better if I could ride for a long time to come. ”
"No, if the young horses are more compatible, they will move faster, and it's good to have physical strength."
It's good at first, but I can't say the same horse will come around at the end.
Well, the aristocrats will make it easy for you. "
Byron and Bull say.
"It's weird... the horses are so quiet today... no, are you nervous?"
I don't think this has ever happened before, but... "
The staff mumbles as they take the lead.
What about Gina?
Bauer asks.
"I... would like to ask Master Smith for a horse that is easy to handle."
Perhaps I would like to ask for a horse like Mr. Bauer's, but I can't be a good horse, so I would like a teacher to choose one for me. "
I see, I'll leave you to it, right?
"Yes, I was told that we could choose it as a priority... but I don't know, so I was wondering if you could put a nice horse on Mr. Smith as much as possible.
Master Smith can ride horses, so I think if you're a normal horse, you'll have no problem. "
"I see... should I choose that too?"
Bauer said while thinking.
"What... I think it's also good to trust your own instincts.
And if you leave it to them, they may be lower than they would be if they were nominated individually on a priority basis.
Sometimes, for example, the horse that I thought was good doesn't come. "
"... nnh... I've been told by His Highness Grace to leave it to me."
I also learned to ride horses a little... but I feel that it is my responsibility to choose a horse before His Highness says, "Let Bauer choose"... hah... I feel like I can take care of it all. "
"I see... (It is difficult to judge what has been said).
I was told the same thing by Master Smith. "
Is that so?
“Yes, I heard about the minimum level of horses required by Master Smith at that time, so it would be the end of the job if you gave me the minimum level of horses.”
"Is that an adult horse?"
Hah... I see, my current distress is not listening to the requirements of the Lord. "
"That may be the case."
Well, there are still a few days left for practical exercises, so I'll tell you that I'll decide it at a later date. Now, I wonder if I can show Lord Bauer the missed horse and confirm it with Lord Grace. "
"Well... that's right.
I would like to ask Lord Grace and see it in action. "
Yes.
Gina nodded to Bauer's judgment.
(But come on, Gina.)
Pallas speaks to me in a hidden state.
(What is it?) Pallas.
Gina answers.
(Gina, the only thing Smith told me was, "You can't be out of your temper.")
(Yes, that's why I want you to be a normal horse.)
(... you didn't have to be quiet, did you?)
(No, Pallas, I think the judgment criteria look different this time.)
(Do you think so?)
(Yes, teachers and stables are just getting used to the horses here.
Mr. Smith only knew the horses that were at the count's residence in the region.
Even if there is a difference in the original judgment criterion of "rough temper."
Therefore, at the extreme, it is safer and more certain to have a normal horse.)
(I see.
So, what about Gina herself?)
(Me? I choose from the last remaining horses.
Even if it was a little rough, it wouldn't be a problem, and if it raged, I would just use my magic eye to do it.
The horses are weaker than Kora and the others, so there is no problem.)
(Gina must be the one with the strange judgment criteria.)
Pallas was shocked.
