Shune: You tell me that someone like this Number was chosen to be The Knight of Seven?
Redo: Watch your mouth, Shune! Someone might hear you and you’ll be in trouble!
Shune: It’s not a problem, Redo. Because everyone here feels exactly the same way!
Suzaku: I, Suzaku Kururugi, as The Knight of Seven I will wield this sword and swear my loyalty to His Majesty Emperor Charles and The Holy Britannia Empire! Those how are against it should challenge me to fight right now!

Kanon: Everything is ready, Your Highness
Schneizel: You did a good job, despite the fact we haven’t got much time. But it was a good decision to hold this event on another day.
Schneizel: In any case, it wouldn’t be possible to let all these challengers to fight in the ceremonial hall. It would be a problem for Father as well.
Referee: The first challenger, please come forward.
Referee: Only one weapon. The first to strike a telling blow wins.
Crowd: Isn’t that… Earl Pomonde’s Knightmare? With Earl Pomonde as his opponent he already lost this battle, for sure…
Earl Pomonde! Show him the strength of Britannian military! Get ready Kururugi!
Referee: Start!
Redo: He dodged the blow!
Shune: No! He let him dodge it. Our favorite (the Earl) spins around and strikes without even giving his opponent the time to prepare himself… That speed….!
Referee: He winner is Kururugi Suzaku!
Crowd: In a blink of an eye, Earl Pomonde was… What was that..? Earl defeated by someone like this Number…
Gino(?): The result isn’t surprising.
Monika(?): This person was noticed by the Emperor after all.
Knight of Rounds: It’s impossible for anyone who is to become one of us, The Knights of Rounds, to be defeated in a fight like this
Suzaku: Your Highness,
Suzaku: There is no point in one-on-one fight. Let me fight them all at once.
Crowd: How rude! We are knights! We can’t fight in such a cowardly manner!
Charles: Quiet!!! In Britannia the strong are the just! Victory is all that matters.
Knights: Ah..ye-! If this is the Emperor’s will…
Shune: Even for Lancelot it’s immpossible!
Redo: How stupid…
Referee: Let us begin the second match!
Knight: W….what is happening?! Is he some kind of a monster….?
Knight: D…don’t come any closer…!
Suzaku: Someone else would like to oppose me?
Referee: The winner is Kururugi Suzaku!
Charles: Wonderful! Kururugi Suzaku, my Knight of Seven! I order you to go to investigate in Euro Britannia as my envoy!
Shune: Redo, do you know how…? What was that…? What have we seen?
Redo: …I have no idea, but if you want to know there is no other way than to go and see for yourself.
Is this feeling a fear? Or respect?
