After Rem left, Adam began his morning training.
Not long after, he heard cheerful shouts from Natsuki, Emilia, and Puck nearby.
Their enthusiastic voices chased away the morning drowsiness, energizing everyone.
Having just finished his training, Adam joined them.
"Good morning, Natsuki-kun, Emilia, and Puck." He said, walking toward them with the morning sun at his back.
His white knight uniform with purple trim rippled in the spring breeze, cutting a dashing figure.
"Hey, Carter... Wow!" Natsuki's greeting turned into an exclamation of admiration at the sight of the knight uniform, "So cool, really so cool! This is just too cool!"
"My, my, young man, that knight uniform certainly gives you quite the presence."
"Yes! Adam truly looks like a royal knight in that uniform!"
Puck and Emilia added their praise.
"Really? Thank you for the compliment." Adam responded modestly.
He struck a confident pose before them.
Natsuki circled him admiringly and asked, "Why is Carter wearing a knight's uniform?"
Emilia looked equally curious.
"Well... various reasons." Adam deflected the question and changed the subject, "Natsuki-kun, if you'd like one, why not ask Roswaal to prepare one for you?"
"No need, I'll pass." Natsuki interrupted as Emilia tried to speak, "Though the knight uniform is cool, it's not as good as my butler uniform."
How could a butler uniform compare to a knight's? Where did such confidence come from?
Perhaps in his modern mindset, butlers and knights held equal status?
Natsuki noticed Emilia's puffed cheeks and asked, "Emilia, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?"
"You two, really..." She left her frustration unexplained.
"I really want to try on a knight uniform! I've never worn one before." Natsuki said eagerly, "Who knows? Maybe my inner knight will awaken on the spot! That's it — I'll ask Ram to find me one right away!"
"I advise against it, Barusu."
As if summoned by his words, Ram appeared before the group.
"Good morning, Lady Emilia." She bowed only to Emilia, pointedly ignoring even Puck.
Very well, quite the character.
"Good morning, Ram." Emilia greeted back.
"Hey, wait!" Natsuki jumped forward, "Why can Carter wear one but not me?!"
"Why..." Ram looked him up and down with disdain, "I'm sorry, but Lord Roswaal doesn't have knight uniforms in Barusu's diminutive size."
An invisible knife pierced straight into Natsuki's fragile heart.
"It-it can be altered, right, Senior Ram?" He pleaded weakly.
Ram's next words crushed his hopes entirely, "No! Altering clothes is too troublesome—Ram doesn't want to do it."
Hearing her refusal, Natsuki slumped in defeat, muttering, "Why..."
"What a shame, Subaru."
"Don't be discouraged, you'll have your chance."
Puck and Emilia offered their consolation.
Then Ram addressed everyone, "Lady Emilia, breakfast is ready. Please proceed to the dining room."
"Yes, alright." Emilia nodded.
After their playful exchange, everyone headed to the dining room.
As expected, Roswaal was already waiting for everyone in the dining room.
"Roswaal, explain the meaning of this uniform." Adam demanded, tugging at his clothes.
"Oh my~ doesn't Carter look absolutely magnificent in this knight uniform? Is something unsatisfactory?" Roswaal nodded with satisfaction, but seeing his impatient expression, added, "There is a reason for this."
"A reason? What reason?" Adam frowned.
"Carter, you once said you like fighting strong opponents, right?" Roswaal explained with a knowing smile, "In the Kingdom of Lugnica, class discrimination runs deep. Strong fighters are usually noble children. If you wish to challenge them, they won't agree to duel without proper status."
"So I must become a knight?"
"Only by becoming a royal knight will you have the qualification. With this status, those strong fighters will accept your challenges."
Fair enough — the reason was quite convincing, and Adam was almost persuaded.
But he still felt annoyed!
With a snort, he said, "Hmph, can a count just casually insert a mysterious commoner into the knights? Especially during such special times?"
Roswaal chuckled, "It's precisely because of these special times that we can do it, Carter. This is exactly why it's possible."
Tch! Indeed, he should add two black eye circles to that clown makeup!
With unwavering determination, he declared, "Before the knight title becomes official, I challenge you to a duel, Roswaal!"
Roswaal shrugged indifferently, indicating he had no problem with that.
That afternoon, the southwestern part of the Magic Beast Forest was once again bombarded with magical nuclear weapons, turning the brownish-yellow land pitch black.
Adam's knight uniform was completely burned, and Roswaal's clown outfit didn't survive either.
More importantly, Roswaal's face now sported two particularly dark black eye circles!
An upright young man always keeps his word!
The duel with Roswaal helped Adam improve considerably in magic. But there was more!
Adam discovered something that thrilled him!
The true function of〘Divine Protection of Magic〙!
—Super training speed multiplication!
Let's take〘Divine Protection of the Sword Saint〙as an example.
〘Divine Protection of the Sword Saint〙fully unleashes a person's potential in swordsmanship, letting them master the sword without practice and instantly reach their peak!
Put simply, if someone's swordsmanship potential has a value of 1 million, their ability becomes 1 million. If their potential is 100,000, their ability becomes 100,000.
It's an incredibly powerful Divine Protection — the higher your potential, the stronger you become upon activation!
However,〘Divine Protection of the Sword Saint〙has one fatal flaw: when the Divine Protection vanishes, all its power boosts disappear too!
In fact, Reinhard's grandmother met her end this way. When her Divine Protection vanished, her power plummeted, leading to her defeat in battle.
But〘Divine Protection of Magic〙works differently! It lets you become the strongest magic user in record time!
Instead of temporary activation, it grants permanent magical power!
This means that even if〘Divine Protection of Magic〙can't leave " Re:Zero ", the power gains it provides can!
What is this? A super training acceleration cheat!
This is truly exciting!
