After each knight apprentice's assessment, exciting duels always follow.
Because this is the best opportunity.
Knights have a tradition of challenging each other, and in history, many scenes of knightly clashes have been passed down and whispered from generation to generation.
Thus, within Hodge Academy, the tradition of knight apprentices challenging one another also has a long history.
There are clear benefits to this.
Knight apprentices admitted to Hodge Academy generally aim to become knights.
But wanting to be a knight sometimes isn't just about whether or not you're hardworking enough.
Sufficient resources, proper Knight Breathing Skills, and the guidance of teachers are all necessary.
Only those of exceptional background can possess these things; the majority do not have them.
So, challenging others, showcasing one's abilities, gaining a reputation that is spread far and wide, and using it to secure investment from others becomes a feasible strategy.
