Become a Knight Across the World

(I participated in the pre-service training but wasn't selected and was rejected. My family wants me to try again next year, sigh.)

"Yay! We won!" Lu Chen's voice rang out like a clear bell amidst the noise of the arcade. He raised his hands high, his face flushed with excitement.

Ye Chen was utterly shocked, his eyes glued to the screen, an expression of disbelief in his eyes. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, unable to comprehend how he had lost to Li Yuetian in such a fierce game. His once unwavering confidence had vanished like a bubble, leaving only a profound sense of loss.

"A bet's a bet, remember what you promised." Li Yuetian's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Ye Chen's face instantly darkened, as if a storm cloud was looming overhead. He gritted his teeth, his anger and resentment churning within him, making his heart feel as if it were being squeezed tightly. "I'm leaving now," he said in a low voice, his tone filled with suppressed anger and dejection. As he turned, his back looked incredibly heavy. Wang Jiayi and Wang Mengyun, though somewhat surprised, silently followed behind him. The three of them, like sheep being herded, slunk away from the bustling arcade.

"Hahaha, see that? This is what happens when you overestimate yourself." Lu Chen said smugly to Tang Wenwen, his voice full of mocking pleasure. At this moment, he seemed to be a victor on the battlefield, recklessly flaunting his triumph.

Tang Wenwen smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. "Yes, but speaking of which, you guys really gave me a fright just now. I thought you were really going to lose."

At this moment, Lin Yue's face also revealed a sincere smile, "Li Yuetian, thank you! I didn't expect you to be so good at games." Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, with a hint of admiration.

Hearing Lin Yue's praise, Li Yuetian blushed involuntarily, appearing somewhat shy. He subconsciously scratched his head, trying to hide his excitement. "Don't mention it, we're all friends." A warmth filled his heart. "It's almost noon, let's go to the fourth floor and find a restaurant to eat at." Li Yuetian glanced at the time on his phone and quickly changed the subject. His voice, like warm sunshine, warmed everyone's hearts, dispelling the tension and unpleasantness from before.

The four of them walked out of the arcade together. Lu Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Li Yuetian, how did you manage to do that infinite combo at the end? That was amazing!"

Li Yuetian smiled mysteriously, "These are the experiences and skills I've accumulated over many years of playing games. If you want to learn, I'll teach you when we get back tonight." Lu Chen nodded excitedly.

They chatted and laughed all the way, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the fourth floor, where it was bustling with people. After browsing around for a while, they finally chose an elegant restaurant with soft music playing, creating a relaxing and pleasant ambiance.

During the meal, Lu Chen continued to discuss the game with Li Yuetian. Lu Chen had a strong interest in the game, but he lacked the talent and didn't quite understand many of the techniques. So he put aside his senior's airs and asked Li Yuetian many questions, which Li Yuetian patiently answered one by one.

After lunch, the four of them strolled through the mall, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant time. Time flew by, and as the sun gradually set, they prepared to leave the mall and return to their base.

"What an exciting day!" Lu Chen exclaimed as soon as he got into the car.

"Yeah, especially the final showdown, it was really exciting!" Tang Wenwen, who was driving, chimed in.

"But Yue Tian is still more powerful. That infinite combo is simply invincible," Lu Chen in the co-pilot's seat remarked.

Li Yuetian smiled and said modestly, "Actually, it's nothing, just a coincidence."

The car drove smoothly along the highway, the scenery outside the window constantly receding. The atmosphere inside was relaxed and pleasant, and before long they arrived back at the training base…

"Brother Ye Chen, don't be discouraged. You'll definitely win next time." At this moment, in a luxury car, Wang Jiayi held Ye Chen's hand and comforted him.

Her beautiful face was full of concern and encouragement, which made Ye Chen feel incredibly warm.

"Thank you, Jiayi!" Ye Chen said, deeply moved. He was so grateful to have such a kind, gentle, and caring girl by his side. However, deep in his heart, he had already etched the name Li Yuetian into his memory.

Wang Mengyun, who was driving in the front seat, remained silent. Her gaze was focused on the road ahead, and her face was expressionless, making it difficult to discern her thoughts.

...

In the weeks that followed, training continued intensively, without any slackening, day or night.

Every night, Shojo receives special training from Kamen Rider Decade. After this period of hard work, his strength has significantly improved. Although he can't completely defeat Kamen Rider Yellow, he can now fight him to a draw in close combat in his base form.

Lin Yue's teaching method was very direct: she had Zhuang Changwu constantly dodge her attacks. This training method seemed simple, but it had a huge impact on Zhuang Changwu's reaction ability. Over time, his reaction speed became faster and faster, which significantly improved his performance in actual combat.

Since being taught a lesson that time, Zhuang Changwu never dared to be so sarcastic again, so Lin Yue didn't have many opportunities to use the Purple Lamp anymore, which made Lin Yue feel a little regretful.

Of course, the training base cannot keep the trainees indoors and burying themselves in training forever. As the saying goes, "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand." Only through continuous practice can one truly master skills and knowledge.

Therefore, the association also regularly organizes its members to go to dangerous forests to carry out monster-hunting missions, allowing them to hone their skills and abilities in real combat.

Because of the barrier, some weaker monsters can easily pass through, making them excellent targets for students to practice on.

Among these people, Li Yuetian was the most dazzling. He almost always managed to slay the largest number of monsters during missions, earning the admiration of the other knights. Especially memorable was one time when he summoned twelve crimson drills and instantly killed all twelve monsters! The scene was utterly breathtaking, leaving everyone speechless. The knights present were astonished by his strength, their exclamations of amazement echoing throughout the room.

In handling emergencies, Li Yuetian also demonstrated exceptional speed and adaptability. Whenever an emergency whistle sounded, he was always the first to transform and prepare for battle, even surpassing some experienced veterans. This outstanding performance greatly pleased Lin Mu, the overall leader.

"Li Yuetian is really outstanding." During dinner, Lin Mu, who was eating in the restaurant, suddenly thought of him and said this to Yun Xiling.

“Yes, his progress is indeed astonishingly fast,” Yun Xiling replied. “But I still think you were better back then! You became famous overnight when you sparred with Coach Hong.”

"Haha, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories." Lin Mu also laughed. "But speaking of which, Li Yuetian's talent is indeed very high. With his current strength, dealing with mid-level monsters should be no problem at all."

Yun Xiling nodded in agreement, "Yes, I hope he can maintain this state. By the way, how about Lu Chen? His ability to summon the final rider is the first of its kind encountered in the association, and the association values ​​him highly."

Thinking of Lu Chen, Lin Mu shook his head: "He has made progress, but it is still far from meeting my expectations."

He was also very interested in the first summoning-type Kamen Rider, but Lu Chen was really not up to par, the kind of fragile character who would easily be killed if he got too close. The key issue was that his stamina couldn't keep up either. Once, during a field trip, he had to climb a mountain, and he ran out of energy halfway up, even foaming at the mouth. In the end, it was Tang Wenwen, a girl, who carried him up! This left Lin Mu both amused and exasperated.

"It seems that Lu Chen still has a long way to go." Hearing Lin Mu's words, Yun Xiling couldn't help but smile. "I wonder what Tang Wenwen saw in him."

"Yeah, I really don't understand." Lin Mu smiled helplessly, "But I guess this is fate between them."

Yun Xiling said with a smile, "Perhaps Tang Wenwen just likes Lu Chen, this kind of easy-going, cute puppy."
