Woot Woot! It's an AU story! It's a bit confusing right now, but it'll clear up in a few chapters. Enjoy!

Even in the twentieth century, the continent is filled with religions. One of the best-known faiths of all is that of the God of Light's, under the jurisdiction of the Church of the God of Light. The Church of the God of Light was very well-known; it even had its own school!
Everyone knows that the best-known aspect of the religion of Light is the Twelve Holy Knights, with the positions passed down through the generations. Now, many jobs of a Knight would be fighting undead, keeping the city safe, and…singing. Yes, Singing. The 12 Holy Knights were also a band called "The Knights". As always, it was a scheme devised by the Pope to earn more money. Well, let's just say it worked. People loved it.
The most famous Knight of them all, which everyone knows – whether you are a follower of the God of Light or a three-year-old child – is the one they call the man closest to perfection itself, the Sun Knight.
The Sun Knight is the leader of the Twelve Holy Knights, the spokesperson for the God of Light, and he always wears a gentle smile as incandescent as the sun. He has a compassionate heart, believes that all humans are inherently kind, and he will never give up on any human soul.
At least that's what everyone says.
Hello.
I dodged the flaming sword and did a somersault.
My name is Grisia Sunshine. Everyone affectionately nicknamed me Sunny, though. I'm in tenth grade, class A.
I ducked and rolled.
However, right now, I'm neither "Sunshine" nor "Sunny". I'm the famed Sun Knight, who is trying "his" very best not to get killed by an undead.
"Sun! To the right!"
I immediately jumped to the right as a volley of arrows pierced the undead, eliciting one horrible and last scream.
You see, I'm a girl. But wait, you say! The Sun Knight is male! Well, yes, the Sun Knight is male. That's why our ancestors invented the word "cross-dressing".
Because the Sun Knight's identity is a secret, since all the Knights go to the school commissioned by the Church of Light, the Sun Knight is always male and the Sun-Knight-Under-Cover is always female.
For generations, if you're the Sun Knight and you're male; you have to cross-dress for the rest of your life in school as a female. If you're the Sun Knight and you're female; you have to cross-dress when you go in public as the Sun Knight. This way, nobody would find out, since nobody would expect the Sun Knight to cross-dress. Yes, I know it's complicated. Well, it's my life.
I sighed and turned to my partner. "Under the God of Light's joy, I thank thee, Brother Leaf, as thy arrows dealt the unforgivable undead's final blow."
Leaf Knight
Real name: Elmairy Leaf
Grade: 10
Class A
Leaf blinked, trying to comprehend what I had just said. When he finally figured out that I had only said thanks, he smiled. "No, that's okay, Sun. You looked like you were in a pinch."
All the real Holy Knights were actually the "Knights" in school as well. In my case, people also call me Princess. We're the "guardians" of the school. Everyone look up to us.
"Hey, you guys! Are you finished there?" A man with blazing red hair in a pony tail ran over.
Blaze Knight
Real name: Chikus Blaze
Grade: 10
Class A
Leaf smiled at Blaze. "Yeah, we' re done."
A "childish" looking man came over as well. He had an "honest" look on his face.
Earth Knight
Real name: Georgo Earth
Grade: 10
Class: B
"S-s-sun, do you n-n-need me to heal a-a-all the w-w-wounds you probably have?"
I twitched before putting on a brilliant smile. Darn Earth. "Brother Earth, Sun thanks thy concern, but the God of Light had protected Sun during our fight."
We glared at each other, the air between our eyes sizzling with sparks, when Leaf decided to break the tension.
"Come on you guys, since we're finished, let's go home. It's a weekday."
I gave Earth one more glare before turning around and nodding curtly. It was late. I still had a lot homework to do, and as the "Sun Knight/Princess Sun" of the school, my reputation will drop if I don't finish it. I sighed. Another night of cramming, here I come!
