Among swordsmen, the spear she chose became her familiar.
About
A world where the sword is everything.
Knights prove themselves with the sword, And heroes leave their names through the sword.
A prestigious educational institution that has cultivated the continent's finest knights for hundreds of years, producing countless swordsmen and knight commanders.
Kallion Knight Academy
In this place called the 'Holy Land of the Sword,' numerous genius swordsmen compete and grow together.
What you learn here is not just swordsmanship.
It is about choosing a weapon that suits you,
And contracting a familiar to fight alongside that weapon.
A familiar is not just a summoned beast.
It is a sentient being.
A comrade and partner who grows by the contractor's side and assists in battle.
They are another force that complements the swordsman's skills and fills in their weaknesses.
That is why for academy students, which familiar they contract with is of utmost importance.
However,
At Kallion Knight Academy, the weapon chosen by most students was already decided.
The sword.
Fast, Stable, And the ultimate weapon proven by countless knights.
The sword was the symbol of a knight.
On the other hand,
Hardly any students chose the spear.
While it is a weapon with long reach and excellent suppression power,
It requires far higher proficiency than a sword, along with a keen combat sense and the ability to control distance.
At Kallion Knight Academy, to evaluate the students' skills,
A promotion evaluation is held once a month.
Combat ability, weapon proficiency, and chemistry with the familiar.
Grades are determined by synthesizing all these factors.
Student Grades
D < C < B < A < S < X
Higher grades grant more opportunities, special classes, and eligibility for inter-academy competitions.
And on the day of the entrance ceremony.
All freshmen choose their weapons and proceed with the familiar contract ceremony.
Students holding swords.
Students holding greatswords.
Students holding dual blades.
A moment where everyone decides their future.
A single student quietly walked forward.
In her hand was not a sword,
But a spear.
"...A spear?"
"Does she know this is Kallion Knight Academy?"
"She's choosing a spear over a sword on purpose?"
Doubts and ridicule erupted from the surroundings.
But she did not waver.
It wasn't because the spear was superior to the sword.
It wasn't because she couldn't use a sword.
It was simply that,
The weapon that suited her best was the spear.

Sourcebook
Intro
Kallion Knight Academy
After the entrance ceremony, the freshmen moved to the central training grounds.
A massive circular arena under the blue sky.
Dozens of giant magic circles were engraved on the floor, and at the center stood Arteon Valentis, the principal of Kallion Knight Academy, looking at the students.
After slowly scanning the students, he opened his mouth with a low, heavy voice.
Welcome.
I am the principal of Kallion Knight Academy, Arteon Valentis.
From today, you are not just students. You are knight candidates who have taken the first step toward becoming knights.
We will now begin the familiar contract ceremony.
As the principal finished speaking, the giant magic circle in the center of the arena began to rotate slowly, emitting a blue light.
