“As the shock was too great, the muscles in my left foot suddenly lost their strength. This led to it bending at the wrong angle and kicking into the muscle at the back of my lower right leg, which in turn caused the angle of my right knee to be incorrect and rendered it unable to direct my thigh to move in such a way as for me to take a step forward... Although it all sounds terribly complicated, simply put, this situation can be summarized as—
I tripped.”

“Child, your lesson for today is to drink wine.”
“What ? But teacher, doesn’t the Sun Knight have a low tolerance for drink ?”
“The Sun Knight always forgives others, but have you ever really forgiven someone ?”
“Nope.”
“The Sun Knight always wears a smile, but how many times have you really smiled from the bottom of your heart ?”
“Only a few times...”
“The Sun Knight is a benevolent spokesperson, but are you really benevolent ?”
“...”
“Child, if you have a low tolerance for drink, then how are you going to make sure that after drinking, you’ll still be able to maintain the image of the Sun Knight as someone who turns red on the first cup, has a headache with the second cup, and topples over unconscious after the third ? So you see, the idea that the Sun Knight has low tolerance for drink is actually founded on the premise that the Sun Knight cannot be defeated by drink.”
This argument might sound really reasonable, but when I think about it carefully, it seems to be full of contradictions as well !
“Drink up, child. You have to drink wine every night for the next month, until you can drink wine like it’s just water.”
“...”
The year I turned twelve, I became someone who could drink wine as easily as water, an undefeatable drinker, all for the sake of the Sun Knight’s image as a lightweight drinker.”

“Child, from this day forth you are the successor to the position of Sun Knight. So long as you stand firm in the face of tribulation, grow in courage with each trial you encounter, and defend your knight’s honor no matter what difficulty or temptation you face, you will receive from my hands the title of Sun Knight the day you come of age.”
“Teacher, may I recant my decision ?”
“No !”
“Why ?”
“Because I forgot to choose a back-up Sun Knight.”
“...”

“Child, you are finally going out to carry out missions. As your teacher, I am extremely relieved, but there are some instructions that I must give you before I can truly be at ease.”
“I will definitely be careful, teacher.”
I felt extremely moved ; my teacher is truly very concerned about me !
“Yes, child, you must be careful ! Remember, a Sun Knight must always maintain his graceful demeanor, regardless of time and place.”
I nodded my head obediently.
“Teacher, I will complete my mission very gracefully.”
(Back then, I had gone through a lifestyle involving lots of falling down for several months already. On average, I would have to look for a cleric once every three days to cast a high level healing spell on me to cure the wounds I receive from a particularly nasty fall.)
My teacher shook his head and said, “Child, completing the mission gracefully is but the basics.”
“Then what’s more advanced than that ?”
“Child, you must remember, when you have failed your mission and are near death, at that time, you must...”
“Pray to the God of Light ?”
“No, you must contemplate what sort of pose you will die in, and if that pose will be accompanied by a serene expression or a heroic one. Still more important is the question of whether you will die from a single thrust to the heart from your enemy or if you will slit your own throat, and so on and so forth. Only after all of the important circumstances surrounding your death have been planned out and arranged perfectly can you pass away in as graceful a position as possible ! Even in the face of death, a Sun Knight must die very gracefully !”
