I'm Back, Hurry Up And Welcome The Lycoris Family's Young Master Of The House!

“Young Master, the Auriel Knight Academy will be arriving soon, in about five minutes.”

“Alright, I know.”

After bowing to Young Master Naiye, the elderly conductor glanced at the tall Magical Automaton knights on both sides.

Young Master Naiye sat dignified and proud on the high chair, and both sides were piled with items belonging to Naiye and Weiluxika.

Even though there were only two passengers on the train—Naiye and Weiluxika—the conductor still commanded the train with utmost energy.

He had been on these two trains for over twenty years, rising from an obscure train guard to the current conductor.

He had watched Young Master Naiye grow from a child into the heir who would inherit the family head.

For that reason he was happy to continue serving the former family head and the current young master, so he did not leave and instead lifted his head.

“Young Master, by my status I originally don’t have the right, but I still want to say—are you really going to the Knight Academy?”

Naiye didn’t speak at first; as the man had just said, by his status he wasn’t qualified to ask.

But Naiye was a bit surprised that he dared to ask, even if it was merely useless concern and loyalty.

But it was enough.

Young Master Naiye took out a small mana crystal, tossed it to the conductor, then asked him.

“Is there any situation at the Auriel Knight Academy?”

“Thank you very much. What I’ve heard is… the Four Great Knight Families’ conflicts continue, and also…”

“And also what?”

“It seems Train No.1 had an issue and was stopped. No one is maintaining it, and no one is commanding it.”

Naiye let out an obvious sigh and waved the conductor away.

If you don’t maintain it today, you’ll need repairs tomorrow—that’s the principle.

However, Train No.1 had been given to the Auriel Knight Academy decades ago for their free use.

Train No.2 runs a fixed route across the entire Auriel Kingdom, serving as a civilian train available to everyone.

Train No.3 had been reserved as the Lycoris family’s private carriage.

These three enormous and stable trains were specially made by Naiye’s father.

At that time, to limit the dangers of magical technology and to demonstrate its practical uses, his father produced many technologies for civilian use and directly donated them to the Auriel Queen and the populace.

As for why Train No.1 was decommissioned, the reason may be simple—no one came to maintain it.

But a deeper reason is…

The Auriel Kingdom, being a nation inclined toward faith, was inherently more averse to technology.

But that wasn’t the true reason; fifty-some years ago, many machines that his grandfather had created through magical technology were turned into war machines!

This was something even the patron Auriel Queen and his grandfather hadn’t anticipated! It caused most people of the Auriel nation to truly start rejecting magical technology.

In the end, his grandfather died filled with regret over the consequences brought by the unrestrained use of magical technology.

It also gave the Lycoris family a huge lesson.

His father’s generation decisively stopped large-scale production, did their utmost to prevent the abuse of magical technology, and also produced many convenient civilian magical technology devices.

Naiye’s father’s decisiveness restored many people’s trust; after all, the Auriel Queen herself led in encouraging and trusting him.

At least people shifted from disgust to mere reluctance.
When Naiye first enrolled at the Auriel Knight Academy, he did not feel much rejection or hatred.

Naiye knew this as well, which is why he returned to the Auriel Knight Academy.

At Her Majesty the Queen’s request, Naiye Lycoris returned to the Auriel Knight Academy.

“………..”

Dark Knight Weiluxika looked surprised at the rapidly receding view outside the window.

But she wasn’t looking at the beautiful nature outside; rather, it was the vast cluster of important buildings behind it that was gradually growing larger.

They were in a place that stood out across the entire horizon, like a light in the dark, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Auriel Knight Academy.

It occupied more than half of the royal capital’s land! The true core of the Auriel capital!

The Auriel capital itself wasn’t even the most important thing — the Auriel Knight Academy was the real core of the capital; its politics, economy, and even much of the nation’s operation were contained within it.

The so-called noble politics inside were hardly worth mentioning; from its founding, the Auriel Knight Academy’s standard was based on ability.

They were almost at their destination.

Send a message to the knight ladies I know to give them a heads-up.

[I’m back—come welcome Lycoris’s Naiye!]

Along both sides of the welcome avenue, colorful banners fluttered and waved in the wind!

Every banner was embroidered with the emblem of the Auriel Knight Academy, symbolizing the knights’ fearless spirit and steadfast faith.

Six knights of the Auriel Student Council held spears whose tips flashed coldly in the sunlight, offering the highest respect to the approaching important figure.

“Elder Sister.”

Tina bowed her head and stepped back, yielding the prominent position to the newly arrived, and last to arrive, captain of the Elemental Knight family.

Also a Fire Element user, Lina Laisel, with fierce red short hair and eyes burning with indomitable flames, a beauty like a fire sprite.

“Hm.”

She gave her sister a plain nod, then stood at the very front of the Elemental Knight family.

Representing her status and rank.

Unlike the other female knights, who wore neat armor.

Lina only wore small pieces of armor on less crucial parts.

Elsewhere she wore only a soft, thin vest and shorts, unapologetically exposing clean underarms, a washboard abdomen, and a healthy, muscular body.

She looked like an exhibitionist pretending to be a female knight.

But in fact Lina deliberately dressed that way.

Because her flames could melt the vast majority of armor at high temperatures.

Therefore she simply couldn’t wear full, neat armor properly.

That was why she was the leader of the Elemental Knights at the Auriel Knight Academy.

Her great strength and terrifying flames made her a highly representative Elemental Knight.

Fire Lina arrived last and carefully observed the surroundings.

Knights from the Four great Knight Families were already positioned in four sections, wearing splendid attire or neat armor and bearing emblems symbolizing their family honor, quietly standing in their places.

The brigades of the Four Great Knight Families wore calm expressions, yet each had completely different looks and attitudes.

In the area opposite her, the Dragon Knight family, characterized by dragon pupils and horns, had not sent their most representative Dragon Matriarch Knight.

Instead, the youngest and most promising boy, Eren Dragonborn, stood at the front as the Dragon Knight family’s member representative, watching the surroundings with clear, curious eyes.

Dragon Knights are formidable knights with dragon blood; they were the fewest in number but extremely powerful.

—This is the Dragon Knight who will be the most dangerous in the future… but judging by his expression, he seems to understand nothing.

That meant the Dragon Knight family was adopting a wait-and-see attitude; otherwise they wouldn’t have sent a boy as their representative.

Beside the Dragon Knights, the Moon Knight family—centered on worshiping the Three Moons Goddess—sent people who greatly surprised Lina!
