Genshin Impact: Reincarnation as a Hilichurl

"Ah!" Mr. Shenxu covered the wound on the inside of his left arm and cried out in pain.

The crowd that had just dispersed was attracted again.

Many people only saw Wang Chen shake the blood beads on the sword, blow it with a strong wind, and then put it back into the sheath.

"Do you know that if I hadn't controlled the sword, you might have died? What made you not care about your life? Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Mr. Shenxu did not answer his question. Instead, he glanced at the people around him with a gloomy look. He saw that surprised look, and hope returned to his heart.

As for whether he would die or not, he was too nervous just now and didn't pay any attention to Wang Chen's operation. He asked back: "I just questioned your dress, and you actually wanted to harm me?"

Wang Chen knew that this matter would not end well, and he tried to find the instructors who witnessed the whole process. However, a red-haired young man with the Eye of Fire on his wrist and fighting gloves on both hands stopped him.

"What do you mean? Do you do evil just because you have the eyes of God?"

"Heh, it was obviously this guy who bumped into my sword himself."

"How could someone do such a thing? What good would it do him?"

Wang Chen shrugged and said, "I want to know too."

Mr. Shenxu covered his still bleeding wound and shouted, "How could I possibly crash into your sword? You must think that you can do whatever you want with the Eye of God and don't take us ordinary people seriously!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ordinary people who were watching were instantly led by Mr. Shenxu to the opposite side of Wang Chen. They began to talk among themselves and glared at Wang Chen.

The red-haired young man also insisted: "I love to defend the weak, today I must fight with you."

"Don't you think your behavior is ridiculous?"

"Ridiculous? How can justice be insulted by someone like you? You are making me angry."

"hehe."

No matter how steady Wang Chen was, he was just a young man who had just graduated for two years. Although two years of work had smoothed out his edges, he could not accept having his innocence tarnished out of thin air.

"So what if you're angry? If you want to fight, I'll fight you to the end."

At this point, Wang Chen no longer said anything more. Many times, many things cannot be explained clearly.

Once you look at a person through tinted glasses, you will interpret his actions in a way that suits your own imagination, just like suspecting your neighbor of stealing your axe. Unless the axe is found, few people can realize their mistakes and correct them.

Wang Chen thought, this guy also just obtained the Eye of God, I don’t know if I can beat him, but he must be easier to beat than the instructor, right?

It was not until this time that the chief instructor walked over calmly. The double pressure of the instructor's aura and tall body made the onlookers give way.

"Hey, why is it bleeding? Why don't we go to the infirmary?"

"Instructor, this guy just chopped me with a sword because he didn't like me. He totally doesn't respect us and the instructors."

"Is that so?" The chief instructor looked at Wang Chen.

"He rushed towards my sword. If I hadn't reacted quickly and diverted the sword, he would have been a corpse by now."

"He said this." The instructor looked at Mr. Shenxu again.

Young Master Shenxu didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the chief instructor. He turned his head to look at Wang Chen and muttered softly, "It's better to live a miserable life than to die. Why would I want to die?"

"Even if you said he cut you, what do you want?"

Mr. Shenxu felt someone poking his back with a sword, and his clever mind reacted instantly.

"Since he has wounded me with this sword, I want his sword as compensation."

As soon as these words were spoken, some smart people realized that something was wrong.

The chief instructor shook his head and said, "I rejected it on his behalf. You are not worth this sword."

The already pale face of the Kidney Deficiency Master turned ashen.

Not worth the sword? What does that mean? Has he been seen through, or is it true that his worth is not as great as a sword?

The red-haired young man at the side was unwilling, "Instructor, although it is indeed too much to ask him to pay for this sword for such a small injury, this kind of person must be made to apologize honestly and let him know that strength is not for showing off."

"Why did you get involved? I like your personality, but I need evidence when doing things. Let me ask you, did you see what happened?"

"……No."

"So you believe one-sided statements?"

"But--"

"It's not surprising that some people like to bump into swords, right? There are all kinds of birds in the forest."

"But I don't accept it. Is the instructor going to favor this person?" Xiao finally stood out from the crowd.

Wang Chen raised his eyebrows, realizing that this person was the one who ordered the Big Fool and Mr. Kidney Deficiency.

The chief instructor remained calm and asked Xiao, "What are you dissatisfied with?"

"If there is no punishment for hurting people, the world will be in chaos. The strong will bully the weak and the weak will have difficulty surviving, just like when the Lone King of the Tower and Lawrence ruled Mondstadt. Our Knights were born to deal with these problems. We are for the people and to protect the weak, so we should punish them more severely as a warning."

The chief instructor thought to himself that this kid was very good at using public opinion to attack others. He first said that he was biased and then brought up the greater good. This way, no matter what he said, others would be somewhat suspicious.

"So what do you think should be the punishment?"

"Since the victim wants this sword, then I have to give him this sword as a punishment. But if I just take this sword, I'm afraid Chen will not accept it. Let's be fair. There are still eight days before the selection. The day before the selection, I will compete with Chen in swordsmanship on behalf of the victim. After all, the victim's arm is injured and he doesn't have the Eye of God. If Chen loses, he will have to hand over his sword."

What the hell is fairness? You bad guy has set your sights on my sword and chose the day before the selection. Are you planning to hurt me and hinder the selection?

Before the chief instructor could speak for him, Wang Chen replied, "I can accept this competition, but if you lose, you must apologize to me and tell everyone what you did - I don't think you will honestly fulfill this request. So let me change it. I want you to promise in front of everyone and the instructor that if you lose, you will never be allowed to join the Knights."

There are three kinds of death for humans: physical death, spiritual death, and social death.

This social death is not the social death in a joking sense, but refers to death in career and work.

In the mildest case, it's like going through great pains to get into the police academy or the army but failing because of a tattoo you got when you were ignorant. In the worst case, it's like an idol's reputation being ruined, food hygiene being exposed, or a pharmaceutical factory's fraud being revealed, and you will have no place to stand in the future.

Wang Chen didn't know what Xiao was afraid of, but he could see that Xiao was very serious about training.

If joining the Knights was Shaw's dream, then kill it.

Xiao naturally disagreed, "It's obviously you who made the mistake, but you're still making conditions here?"

"Hahaha, stop talking about this. Do you want to make me laugh to death? If you agree, I will accept the challenge. If you win, the sword will be yours. If you don't agree, I will withdraw. What can you do to me?"

Xiao's mind was working rapidly. He had already contradicted the chief instructor. If he didn't seize this opportunity...

"Then if I win you will have to take off your cloak in public."

The Wentian Sword was already taken out as a bet, and Wang Chen didn't even consider that he would lose, so he naturally agreed.

"In seven days, Chen and Xiao will have a sword fight here. If Xiao wins, Chen will have to hand over his sword and take off his cloak. If Chen wins, Xiao will never be able to join the Knights. Do both parties agree?"

The instructor confirmed it again, and when he saw Chen and Xiao nodded, he waved his hand at the people watching the excitement, "Go away, anyone who continues to watch the excitement will be banned from participating in the selection."

Xiao suddenly said, "Also, you can't use elemental power in a sword fight. Do you have any objection?"

Wang Chen realized that Xiao was waiting for him here.

He had never been exposed to swordsmanship before today... No, he had seen it in games, but how likely is it that a complete swordsmanship novice can surpass Xiao in seven days?

Do you want to give it a try?

Seeing Xiao adding more conditions at this time, the chief instructor frowned, but Wang Chen didn't say anything, so he didn't know what to say.

After dispersing the reserve personnel, the chief instructor took Mr. Shenxu to the infirmary.

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Oh... no wonder. With your outfit like this, I haven't even seen your face yet."

Xiao made a few vicious taunts, and his true nature was fully exposed in front of Wang Chen.

"You are like a fire abyss mage on a rainy day. Now you can show off."

After saying this, Wang Chen ignored Xiao and focused on practicing sword skills.

The sword that stabbed Mr. Shenxu before gave Wang Chen some new insights. At that moment, he just didn't want to cause any death.

In his two lives, the only person he could be said to have killed was that one deceiving flower. Wang Chen still had a huge psychological burden regarding the act of taking someone's life.

In any case, it was purely an instinctive reaction, and the biggest hurdle to entry into swordsmanship is body control. Without this ability, one can only undergo a lot of training to become familiar with it.

Maybe I am a kendo genius?
