Lanzo
The first batch of squires was halted just like that. Four participants fought against four chosen knights and all four lost the challenge.
Lucas said to him "Lanzo, this is... amazing! This… this must be the princess' doing!"
The next four squires came and the knights fighting them were replaced with a different group. They gave everything they could and fought hard with their blade and shield, but yet again, though they fought valiantly, all four of them lost.
The group of veteran squires was standing next to Emery and watched the fight go on with elation, including Mark, who smiled with each squire's defeat. It seemed that for them, this was a usual occurrence. For them, the assessments were not used to be this strict but most importantly the knight fights without differentiating the squires.
The group laughed hard when they saw a young thin looking noble squire screaming to his father for help during the fight.
