The Honorary Knight Exams…
It's a series of tests that takes place in the Knight Academy, meant only for special candidates.
Basically, the cream of the crop.
Normally, to become a Knight, one has to attend the Knight Academy and pass. It's the same way you need to attend the Royal Academy and pass to become a Scholar. However, in the case of the latter, there have been many instances when Honorary Scholar Titles have been given to people.
If one makes an especially grand contribution to the field of Academia or solves a prevalent problem in the world through empirical means, the title of Honorary Scholar could be given.
Even titles like Honorary Erudite Scholar, Honorary Grand Scholar, and Honorary Supreme Scholar exist—though the criteria for obtaining them vary according to their level of prestige.
There are even Honorary Nobles in this world.
With all of this in mind, it isn't very strange that the term 'Honorary Knight' also exists.
It's quite normal.
Right?
