Glass Greaves

The Glass Greaves are the chivalric order in the duchy of Maihama, under the authority of the House of Cowen.

The Glass Greaves are comprised of People of the Earth elites, most of whom are around level 25&mdash;a relatively significant number for Earthlings and something most civilian Earthlings couldn't hope to reach, but pathetic compared to Adventurers. Each member of the order is supplied with metal armor from the Cowen Dukedom.

Overview
The famous imperial guard of Maihama. It is composed of 80 regular members and 210 yeomen, and its role is to protect Cowen Family. As chosen elites, its members serve as the core of Maihama's defense.

In the Glass Greaves, military actions are based on the commander’s orders, and having the Extra Move ability is essential to join. They submit themselves to rigorous foot march training and run around the mountain to strengthen the muscles in the lower half of the body so they can move speedily on the battlefield.

The emblem of the Glass Greaves is a pair of crystal greaves based on the magic shoes that a hero of Maihama wore, and sometimes you can see the Grand Master actually wearing it in ceremonies. The knights have inherited the hero’s indomitable spirit. Children admire their sparkling shoes, and their feet that run throughout Maihama have the trust and respect of the citizens.

Noosphere arc
At Shiroe's request, Isaac and the Black Sword Knights traveled to Maihama to train the Glass Greaves. They split the knights into five groups: three of them did regular military drills such as running laps or basic sword training, while one of the remaining two was on leave in the city, and the last one were fighting monsters in the Dovature Badlands.

This training continued for two months until Iselus's coming-of-age ceremony. The Glass Greaves and the Black Sword Knights took up guard duty&mdash;which came in handy when assassins from the Holy Empire Westelande attempted to kill the boy. During the ensuing fight, the Glass Greaves provided assistance for the Adventurers guarding the Cowens and captured the unconscious assassins after Isaac knocked them out.

Although the Glass Greaves attempted to protect Maihama during the attack of the Eternal Moths, many of them fell asleep as a result of their MP-stealing pollen. Duke Sergiad, who had been leading the knights' defense, was among the victims. They remained asleep until Taliktan's defeat at the end of the Shibuya Raid.
