Chapter 1: Preparation
A lot of time has passed since the incident in the great city of Hamel, the indecent that brought hamel down to its knees. A demon called Ran took over and intoxicated the city with darkness and monsters. Ran reigned over Hamel as Hamel's own prince, Prince Seiker (Chung) was powerless against him. Soon Hamel fell into a period of darkness. Chung then asked assistance from the legendary group of knights called the "Red Knights." Amongst the Red Knights there was a young talented swordsman named Elsword. Elsword travelled around the land of Elrios with his friends defending the innocent from any harm. Once Elsword heard Chung's cries for help, he and his friends teamed up to stop Ran's reign over Hamel. It was a dangerous and, epic battle but Ran fell to his knees and Hamel was once again purified. Since that time around 2 years had passed and Elsword and his friends went their separate ways...
In Elrios the sun was shining and villagers were happy. All was peaceful. Today the new recruits were coming to the academy.
"As of today you are now all Red Knights," said Lowe, " It is your duty to protect the helpless and innocent."
All the rookies were lined along in rows of six. Some listening to the opening orientation, some sleeping, and most looking at the Red Knight standing next to Lowe. He had a red a uniform with steel plating on his shoulders and legs. The knight carried around a long well crafted sword that matched the knights uniform. He stood there looking at all the rookies as if he was gonna grab one of them by the collar. After Lowe finished talking, the knight stepped up.
"Before you rookies split into your camps there is something I want you guys to remember," said the knight, "Your friends are your greatest weapon, they will always have your back as they are your most trusted comrades, so try and make some in this academy."
The rookies gave a final salute and left for their camps.
"Good work there El." congratulated Lowe.
"I thought I was gonna die of stage fright," said Elsword, "I'm not used to being head knight yet."
"Don't worry you were just deemed head knight a few days ago, you'll get the hang of it. You have potential."
"Thanks Lowe, I needed that."
"well I got to whip some rookies into shape, just like i did with you"
"Those were some good times, but I have to go check if the Velder soldiers are coming, their training here for the summer, it'll be good for the newbies to get some out of town help."
"Good luck with that El."
"I'll be fine, I have a teacher that's coming with the Velder knights that i want to see anyways, but he's more of a good friend."
Elsword clenched his sword and both set off to prepare for Velders arrival. The Lord Knight head for the main gates of Ruben with a an excited look on his face.
