The Engineering Knights Too Want To Enjoy Fighting!

“Hello, we are the Engineering Knights, under the Elemental Knights and responsible for maintaining magical technology. I’m Grace, this is Xiao Yu and Xiao Na.”

The three-person group’s name is the Engineering Knights; if categorized like a school club, they’re basically the Engineering Club or Engineering Department.

This might be a feature of the Auriel Knight Academy, which is why their group names are styled as “knights”.

“Um, I am… Naiye, a maintenance worker of the Lycoris family.”

“Great! Finally someone who can fix things has come—Train No.1 is saved!”

As Naiye finished speaking, Xiao Yu behind him grabbed Xiao Na’s hand and happily hopped around.

They cheered joyfully at the arrival of a repair person.

Before that, Naiye wanted to ask some questions and spoke to the leading knight.

“Are you from the Elemental Knight Order?”

“No. Although I’m from an Elemental-knight family, I’m not strong enough to be in the knights. My element is Lightning, and because I’m interested in magical technology I formed the Engineering Knights.”

“Unfortunately there are only three of us.”

“We were rejected at first, but thankfully Grace has technical skill! In the end Miss Ice Tina helped us form the Engineering Knights.”

At first Naiye was actually puzzled—besides Ice Tina, who else would be proficient with magical technology?

Now not only are there people who understand parts of it, they can even do maintenance.

“Thank you and Young Master Naiye for the help. If Train No.1 is left like this, it might be ruined.”

Naiye turned his head to look; Train No.1 had indeed been parked for a long time, and there was an important reason.

“It can’t move anymore; it needs major repairs. I’ve already removed the mana crystal.”

“What! You could even remove the power supply! Amazing—Young Master Naiye really sent someone impressive to help.”

The three Engineering Knights praised Naiye’s skills, without realizing he was Young Master Naiye.

This was understandable—Young Master Naiye rarely appeared in public; even though he finished his studies in a year four years ago, he returned home quickly to inherit the family.

He is not a celebrity that many people would have met.

Compared to Naiye Lycoris personally, what the world actually knew better was the Lycoris family’s magical technology!

Especially for the female knights of the Auriel Kingdom, magical technology was a turbulent technological product that had gone through their generation.

Besides, the female knights don’t necessarily have to remember the head of the Lycoris family!

Instead, they must remember the leaders of the Four Great Knight Orders! Those leaders are the main figures at the Knight Academy.

Young Master Naiye knew the leaders of the Four Great Knight Orders and was well-known among them because they met him long before he became a family head.

And now Young Master Naiye is the head of the Lycoris family, so in rank and status he is actually above the knight-order leaders.

As for why people welcomed Naiye Lycoris, there were deeper reasons.

As the family ranked fifth, Naiye Lycoris and the existence of his family represented a huge wild card among the Four Great Families.

“Have you been the ones maintaining the train all this time?”

“Uh… not really. We can only maintain the train every so often. In reality we don’t have much technique or knowledge; the train has long been broken.”

Grace answered a bit dejectedly; her skill and knowledge were actually only slightly better than others’.

Naiye looked at Train No.1 and realized he might have jumped to conclusions too soon.

“Every so often? When was the last time you maintained it?”

At this question, the three Engineering Knights began to fidget.

“Uh……….”

“Half a year?”

“Maybe a year?”

Alright, so it had been over a year.

Now Naiye was certain Train No.1 indeed needed major repairs.

“Why hasn’t Train No.1 been maintained for so long?”

After Naiye asked, Xiao Yu and Xiao Na looked to their leader.

Grace thought for a moment before answering.

“Originally people liked to take the train out for fun, but that was in peacetime. In wartime trains like this are usually taken out of service and no one is allowed near them.”

“During the war, because the Elemental Knights and the Sky Wing Knights kept fighting over this area, we had no chance to maintain it.”

After Grace finished, Xiao Yu and Xiao Na chimed in to add more.

“The fighting was fierce—both sides kept contesting it, and for a long time no one came to the train station!”

“I even heard that in one battle the train was damaged!”

Naiye nodded but grew curious.

“Then this should count as an official school area, right? What about the Auriel knights in the Student Council? Don’t they take care of it?”

“It used to, but once it was occupied and became a knight-order territory it no longer was!”

“And both knight orders refused Student Council intervention, preventing them from acting.”

After Xiao Yu and Xiao Na answered, Grace thought a bit and added more.

“The Student Council also didn’t want to get involved, because the fighting hadn’t ended; rash intervention would violate knightly combat principles, so the train station remained abandoned.”

Hearing this, Naiye finally understood.

“I see—so this train station area is the third territory seized by Fire Lina?!”

“Exactly! Lady Fire Lina is the first to break the long-standing balance where each of the Four Great Knight Orders held two territories. I don’t remember this happening in a very long time!”

“Has it been ten years or so? Previously the Four Great Knight Orders each had two balanced territories; none was overwhelmingly strong!”

‘No wonder… Fire Lina has been unhappy when she sees me, even quite furious.’

Young Master Naiye’s return to the academy made Fire Lina think it would ruin the Elemental Knights’ morale for charging forward! And Naiye as a variable made her more agitated.

For example, the war was temporarily paused these days, and Naiye expected it would resume fighting.

“Wow… so the Academy’s wars are this brutal.”

“No, it’s always been like this.”

“Right, everyone’s optimistic about Lady Fire Lina now!”

“Yeah! Battle is awesome!”

“…………..”

Alright, this is why outsiders fear the Auriel Kingdom so much.

These female knights (two of whom aren’t even female knights) have such spectacular life philosophies.

Pure combat—awesome! And the knightly combat codes taught by the Auriel Knight Academy.

Even Naiye, a man living in this country and academy, found it a bit much—let alone others.

“Alright! Let’s hurry and repair it. I’ll teach you some techniques and knowledge about magical technology.”

This sentence successfully grabbed the three’s attention; they happily picked up tools and ran toward Train No.1.

But, Train No.1 did need major repairs.

Even Naiye couldn’t perform perfect repairs; most of today was actually spent teaching them.

Grace and the other two benefited greatly as they absorbed knowledge about magical technology.

Until suddenly a commotion broke out…..

When Naiye and the Engineering Knights looked back.

They found a group of people had suddenly rushed in and started wrecking things!!!

“Why are the Ruffian Knights appearing here!”

Young Master Naiye was a bit angry too.

Where is Weiluxika! Why is she still sleeping!
