"I wish to become a Knight. Even if I am just a wild Knight without a family coat of arms, even if I serve as a squire for others for life, even if I am unable to become an official Knight for my entire life, it will be fine as long as I can become a Knight."
For Cohen Asta, becoming a true Knight had always been his wish.
However, it was unfortunate that he wasn't a child of nobility, so it was impossible for him to be sent to an elite Knight to learn under him as a squire. He also wasn't a talented warrior who would send teachers into a frenzy fighting over him. He was just an ordinary farmer's child. Needless to say, studying at a Knight Academy, he wasn't even able to read. Thus, he was never able to take the first step in accomplishing his dream.
Thus, he decided to lower his goal and set out to become an ordinary warrior as his goal. However, the result was even more disappointing.
