Chapter 1:

"Under the guidance of the God of light, today I'll choose my successor..." The 37th Sun Knight, Neo Sun, said in a benevolent manner. Grisia sighed, It's already as clear as the sky in a sunny day that Roland is gonna get choosen, he's strong, great at swordmanship too. Even though Grisia had to admit Roland is way too serious and expressionless for Sun knights' standard, but Grisia believes Roland can fix it.

"Roland, child, under the luminance of the God of light I choose you as my successor." Neo declared loudly. The other candidates sigh disappointedly as they already expeced this. Grisia also sighed sadly but gathered himself together then smiling brightly to his best friend.

"Roland! Congratulation! I know you would make it," Grisia congratulated as he latched himself to Roland who gladly returned the hug. When Grisia lets go, Roland took Grisia's hands firmly.

"You wouldn't go anywhere right? Have you considered my suggestion?" Roland asked anxiously. Grisia is his very first friend and the only kid in the selection that looked at Roland in a friendly way rather than hostile and jealous way.

Grisia hesitated, "I don't know... I participated in the selection without Big sister knowing it and I don't think she would like it, but then again, I wanna be with you... But.." Grisia trailed off.

Neo watching all of this in the sidelines with a good distance. He observes the two kids that perked his interest in a normal manner. What? Stalking? Don't be ridiculous! He just appointed Roland to be his successor and currently waiting for him to finish talking with Grisia! And he isn't eavesdropping, They simply talk loud enough for Neo to hear, It's not his fault! Absolutely not his fault!

Truthfully, Grisia perked his interest greatly when he answered Neo's question. Neo actually spent the whole night, weighing the decision whether he wants Roland or Grisia. In the end reality won and he decided to choose Roland. Neo watched as Roland lowered his head and sighed sadly with Grisia looking at him with eyes full of sadness as well. 'seriously, they look like a pair of lovers that forced to part away by the fates' Neo thought dryly.

Neo glanced around, the selections had already end and there's only few clerics who are cleaning the place. Neo glanced back at his newly appointed student and Grisia then sighed sadly. He also didn't want Grisia to go. Amongst the children in the selection he actually got along with Grisia the most.

The other children in his selection are too stiff and respectful when talking to him, they also carefully choose their words no doubt trying to act the best, those are boring for Neo. But Grisia is different, he actually dare to blurt everything that happens to be in his mind (even though after that he would slap his hands over his mouth and looks and Neo in terror) and dare to counter his tease.

"Sun," a voice spoke up. Neo glances at the voice to see his friend who are not his friend, Chasel Judgement.

"You already choose your candidate right, Knight captain Sun? The harsh God of light won't forgive a reckless mistake and lateness," Chasel said coldly. TL:"How is it?".

"Knight captain Judgement. The benevolent God of light will always forgive the sins his children made, as long as they repent. But, this Sun didn't dare to make a sin purposely." Neo replied in a benevolent manner. TL:"All good"

Chasel glances at the two children who seem still absorbed with their own conversation and asked, "Between them, who is the one that have been received God of Light's blessing?"

"As the benevolent God of Light's guidance have reach our healthy soil of earth. This Sun could only praying and thanking his kindness," Neo replied. Translation:"The brown one.". At this moment Neo notices a child behind Chasel, awkwardly trying to hide behind his teacher , 'ah... That child, Lesus.' Neo noted.

Lanbi Storm approach them with a child in tow, apparently had overheard their conversation, "So, the blonde one is the back-up right? Honestly, I always thought you'll forgot about that," Lanbi said in his easy going Storm Knight's manner. Then, Neo widened his eyes 'a back-up knight...' he mused in realization.

The two Holy knights stare at Neo who still have his eyes widened in awe and realization, their sweats dropped, 'He forgot about the back-up knight system wasn't it!?' They exclaimed mentally.

"I don't think Big sister would let me to become a normal cleric though..." Grisia stated sadly to Roland.

"Grisia! My child, under the guidance of the God of light I-" Neo tried to say but got cutted off.

"Grisia, right?" A voice spoke up, they all whirled around to the voice's source and found the Pope walking up to them.

"Your holiness the Pope" Chasel greeted and nodded in acknowledge along with the two Holy knights, Pope turns to them and nodded back.

"Yes, I am." Grisia replied in confusion.

"I'm impressed by your Holy light skill. It's an amazing gift that would be a waste if not used. So I'm asking you, would you want to be my student and successor?" Pope asked with a small smile, not that it's visible under the veil. Neo's jaw dropped not so elegantly, the old Pope beat him to it! Come to think of it Pope is indeed targeting Grisia.

Grisia revealed a shocked expression "Really?!" He beamed up. Roland held Grisia's hand tighter. Pope nodded and Grisia cheered joyfully while Roland smiles gratefully in happiness for Grisia.

"Congratulation, Grisia!" Roland said and Grisia latched himself to Roland for the second time today and Roland gladly returns it. He's glad he didn't have to separate from Grisia.

Neo watched in desbelief as Pope (rudely) snatched his soon to be back up knight.

"You seem to want to say something, Sun Knight?" Pope stated, Neo give Pope a hard stare he really wanna protest to Pope here and now but there's still many clerics moreover they jad pay much attention when they 'accidentally' overheard the Pope who wants to take a child under his wing to be his successor.

Neo smiled brightly, "No, it's just, you already took (stole) my back up knight candidate" Neo said in a sullen manner that he unconsciously revealed.

The Pope looked relieved and smug over the fact he came in the right time before that maniacal Sun Knight could take Grisia under his wing. He didn't ditch half of his work and those relaxation teas for nothing after all.

Neo could swear he heard a faint 'heh!' from the Pope just now. That old fart mocked him! Oh, It's on. Neo wouldn't let him have Grisia all to himself.
