Marquis Vian pointed at Soron and introduced with a smile to Richard, "Master Wizard Richard, look, this is my strongest subordinate, a Five-Pattern Elite Magic Knight. Of course, he's no match for you, since you are a wizard, but I think he should barely be able to withstand one of your attacks."
"Close enough," Richard said.
"Then let's see, how should we test it? Should we go out to the open space?"
"No need, it's fine right here. Tell your subordinate to be careful not to hurt himself," Richard replied.
"Alright then." Marquis Vian nodded and turned his head to issue a serious command to Soron, "Did you hear that, Soron? The Master Wizard wants you to test his combat level. Defend with all your might to avoid being hurt by the Master Wizard's spells, or there'll be no one to save you."
"Yes, Marquis!" Soron responded in a deep voice.
