Become a Knight Across the World

Sunlight streamed through the classroom window, illuminating Lin Yue's seat. She sat there listlessly, her gaze somewhat vacant as she stared at the teacher on the podium, who was eloquently explaining complex mathematical formulas and theorems.

The teacher spoke eloquently and passionately, but to Lin Yue, it all seemed like the voice of another world.

Her eyelids felt as if they were weighed down by lead, growing heavier and heavier until she couldn't lift them. Her head began to nod uncontrollably, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mathematics is so soothing. If I could record the teacher's lectures and listen to them before bed, I definitely wouldn't have trouble sleeping," Lin Yue muttered to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

Finally, the bell rang, and Lin Yue collapsed and fell asleep.

Li Yuetian turned around, wanting to chat with her, but saw her slumped on the desk, hesitant to speak. He really wanted to ask her some questions.

That day, Kabuto's ultimate move was incredibly powerful, crippling Another Kabuto in one blow, and was finally finished off by Zi-O.

After it was over, he was going to look for Lin Yue, but the Kabuto summoner beat him to it. He saw that the man said something to her, and Lin Yue ended up following him! He really wanted to follow and ask what happened, but he felt it was inappropriate.

Who was that man? Why was Lin Yue with him? Li Yuetian was filled with doubts after returning home, his mind a jumble of questions, and he couldn't fall asleep.

Finally, he sent Lin Yue several messages to inquire, but they seemed to disappear into thin air, receiving no reply for a long time. Time passed by, and it wasn't until the next morning that Lin Yue finally replied. But it was just a few simple words: "I went to bed too early last night and didn't see it, sorry! I'm fine." But this did nothing to answer the questions in Li Yuetian's mind.

Various guesses and imaginings kept flashing through Li Yuetian's mind. Could it be that they...?

The thought of this made Li Yuetian's heart ache as if it were being pricked by needles.

Because of this incident, Li Yuetian was absent-minded for several days and completely unable to concentrate on his studies. It's worth noting that his academic performance had always been among the best, and his teachers had high hopes for him. Seeing his current listless state, even his teachers couldn't help but call him to their offices to inquire with concern about what had happened to cause such a poor mental state.

Li Yuetian gave a few perfunctory words, thanked him at the end, and then left the office. When he came out, he found Lu Chen waiting for him at the classroom door.

"Why do you have such dark circles under your eyes these past few days? It's been several days since school started, and I've gotten used to it, but you haven't? What's wrong with you?" Lu Chen asked.

Li Yuetian remained silent, simply standing in the corridor watching the scene below. "I know what it is even if you don't tell me! How would you know if you don't ask?" Lu Chen saw through his little scheme at a glance.

"What do you want to ask?" Li Yuetian asked expressionlessly.

"Ask Lin Yue! Why don't you just go ask her?" Lu Chen said, exasperated.

Li Yuetian remained silent.

"How will you know their relationship if you don't ask? Maybe they're just ordinary friends," Lu Chen continued to persuade him.

Li Yuetian sighed, "I don't know how to bring it up... Besides, what if it's really as I think? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward..."

Lu Chen gritted his teeth, seemingly having made up his mind, "Fine, fine, if you won't ask, I'll ask for you! Today happens to be Friday, so after school, when we walk with her together, I'll ask her, is that alright?"

Seeing Li Yuetian's absent-minded look, Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

The wait was agonizing; Li Yuetian had never looked forward to the end of school as much as he had today. After school, as planned, Lu Chen led Lin Yue and Li Yuetian out of the school gate.

Along the way, Lu Chen tried to chat with Lin Yue about various topics, while Li Yuetian followed behind in silence. When they were almost at the intersection where they would part ways, Lu Chen finally found an opportunity. He casually asked Lin Yue, "By the way, Lin Yue, what's your relationship with that Kabuto King summoner? I saw you two chatting quite well after the battle the other day."

Lin Yue was taken aback when she heard this. How did the topic suddenly turn to Tianxing? "That guy... he said he wanted to invite me to his restaurant for a meal. I felt it was too kind of him to refuse, so I went! And Brother Zhuang went with us too! After we finished eating, I went straight back."

"Brother Zhuang is here too?" Li Yuetian frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he seemed to remember that there was indeed such a thing. Then, he stared straight at Lin Yue, his tone somewhat aggrieved: "Then why didn't you reply to my messages later?"

Hearing this question, Lin Yue seemed to stammer a little, her eyes darting around, but she quickly realized something: "Uh... this... oh right, you sent me a message around 11 p.m., did you expect me to reply instantly? I'm not a night owl, I was already fast asleep at that time, how... how could I have the energy to reply to your message!"

"Oh, I see." Li Yuetian breathed a sigh of relief, all his annoyance suddenly disappearing. Lu Chen gestured to Li Yuetian with his eyes, as if to say, "I knew you were overthinking it."

Li Yuetian is in a great mood now, and even his appetite seems to have improved.

After the three parted, Lin Yue thought about what had happened that day. She hadn't slept at home that night, but at the hospital where Sister Yun was staying. "I should go to the hospital," she thought, and hurried there. She remembered what had happened there that night; it wasn't that she hadn't seen the message, but…

"So, you don't know your master's name? You only met him in your dreams?" Lin Yue asked as she chewed a bite of food on the table.

“Yes, but ever since he gave me the Kabuto Insect Analyzer and the Beyond Insect Analyzer in my dream, I haven’t dreamed of my master again!” Tianxing said while processing the ingredients in his hands, a hint of longing in his eyes.

“I think your master was the original Kabuto King’s user, just like Kuuga before! He said he also saw his former summoner before transforming into his final form,” Sho Changwu analyzed.

"Perhaps, but since my master entrusted it to me, I must shoulder this responsibility!" Tianxing placed the food he had prepared in front of Lin Yue: "Please enjoy!"

Lin Yue took a bite and her eyes lit up: "Wow, Tianxing! Your omelet rice looks ordinary, but it's so delicious! Did your master teach you this in your dream?"

“Of course.” Tianxing crossed his arms, his face beaming with pride and his eyes sparkling with admiration. “My master once told me that cooking is like appreciating elegant and talented men and women; it requires a selfless and detached mind to carefully craft it. Only by immersing yourself in it can you truly grasp the essence of food preparation.”

"Did his master really say that?" Hearing Tianxing praise his master so highly, Lin Yue couldn't help but ask, "So, you invited us here for dinner today because you want us to evaluate your cooking skills?"

Tianxing smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Lin Yue, his tone sincere: "Actually, the main reason I wanted to invite you this time is Miss Lin. I am very interested in you."

Zhuang Changwu was speechless, feeling like he had become a supporting character again.

Tianxing smiled and said, "I always felt that Miss Lin Yue also had many secrets. For example, your golden Kamen Rider doesn't look anything like your Kick Huang at all."

"Yes, yes, I wanted to ask that too." Zhuang Changwu swallowed the noodles in his mouth. How come he never noticed how delicious noodles were before? "Lin Yue, what kind of Kamen Rider is that? Zi-O's memories don't include this rider at all. He does look a bit like Den-O, but he's more powerful and cooler."

Lin Yue thought for a moment and then had an idea: "This isn't Kamen Rider, its name is Kongo Armor! I got it as a prize from a slot machine in an arcade, I don't know where it came from."

"Huh? Is it that outrageous?" Zhuang Changwu was very surprised. This was too outrageous! He didn't quite believe it.
