As they accomplish the quests assigned to them by the academy, the class is finally given recognition, and Alvin’s popularity as the prince grows further. On the other hand, while Endea is still sour from her previous defeat, Flora calls the three strongest dark knights of the Dark Order of Opus and gives the command to kill Alvin’s strongest defense: Sid Blitze. As danger slowly approaches them, the Blitze class together with the three legacy classes start their combined training camp in the fairy world. Just what kind of trials await them? Find out in the third volume of Magic Knight of the Old Ways!

Despite Endea’s interference, Sid won the Premier Chevalier tournament. Alvin thus thought she’d succeeded in her bet against the empire, but things took an unexpected turn when Flora suddenly appeared and completed the ritual to make Endea the Demon King. Alvin must now gather an army to fight against her younger twin sister, but just before the final battle...Sid suddenly disappears! Just what is the truth about the royal family? Why does Endea hate Alvin so much? What happened in Sid’s mysterious past? And why was he reincarnated in this era? All the questions will be answered in the final volume of Magic Knight of the Old Ways!

A long, long time ago, in the era of legends, there was a knight known as Sir Sid the Barbarian who pledged his sword to the Holy King Arthur. Unparalleled in strength, he was the greatest magical knight of his time, but also a disgrace to the name of chivalry. His evil deeds were countless, and eventually he met his end at the hands of his own king...or so the story goes. Now a thousand years have passed, and Sid is summoned from his eternal slumber by Alvin, a descendant of Arthur and a prince who knows the truth about Sir Sid the Lightning Knight. Honoring his ancient pact, Sid rises from the grave to help Alvin save the kingdom from impending peril and become the new instructor to Alvin’s class of fellow aspiring knights. As danger lurks in the shadows, Sid must train this class of underdogs to rely on more than just their magical fairy swords and teach them the old ways of the magic knights.

A little over a month has passed since Sir Sid became the instructor knight of Alvin's class, and during that time, they’ve endured Sid’s hellish training and fought bravely, defending the capital from the dragon’s rampage. However, Blitze class must once again prove themselves as they take on the academy’s other first-year squires in the Interclass Games. With the deck stacked against them, and the class’s very survival on the line, can Alvin and the others come out victorious in one-on-one combat? Meanwhile, the ones behind the attack on the capital set their sights on Alvin’s best friend, Tenko, who is plagued by dreams of her traumatic past and unable to catch up to the rest of her classmates. The mysterious girl with the crown steps out of the shadows and uses Tenko to exact her vengeance on Alvin. Everyone will be put to the test as Alvin’s journey to the throne continues in volume two of The Magic Knight of the Old Ways.
