A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Jiang Yang was back home, but the thought of fighting a formidable enemy like Kitasaki made him feel insecure.

Think about it carefully, this is a real world, and the villains in it don't just appear at a certain plot point like in TV shows.

They were always there, but they didn't interact with the main characters until a certain plot point, which is why they seemed not to exist.

But for Jiang Yang, an outsider, there was absolutely no such protection mechanism, as evidenced by tonight's experience.

This time, the other party seemed to have misunderstood that I was the president's subordinate and let me go, but will I be so lucky next time?

"No, we have to do something."

He must become stronger; he can't just wait for the system. He has to do something himself.

Take out the notebook I received today.

Although I couldn't learn martial arts at the martial arts school, having this notebook is still a good thing.

The first few pages of the notes recorded some basic things, such as how to adjust one's physical state. There were also some correct ways to exert force and some force exertion techniques.

Although it doesn't have any actual moves, this thing is very useful to Jiang Yang right now.

For the next two days, Jiang Yang repeated his daily routine of going out to search for Orphnoch, showing up at the laundromat to increase his favorability, and then returning home to practice the content in his notes.

It's worth noting that Keitaro and Yuka's relationship is heating up very quickly. These past few days, Keitaro has been going out on dates with Yuka frequently, almost to the point of introducing her to everyone at the laundromat.

In short, Keitaro has been beaming with joy these past two days.

By the way, the murderer was taken to the hospital and survived. The police arrived, and it's likely he'll spend the rest of his life in jail.

In two days, Jiang Yang did encounter Orphnoch, and his progress reached five percent.

Jiang Yang thought that this kind of life would continue for some time.

Until a phone call.

"Hello, is this Jiang Yang? This is Qi Taro. Yes, someone has come to our door seeking help."

Jiang Yang, who was doing strength training, changed his clothes and went out.

The Yorozuya had been open for several days, and this was the first time they had received a request, so of course he had to go and check it out.

"So, what you're asking for is for your son to give up his dreams, leave school, and come home to work at the store like a soulless puppet, right?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yang's words, the men couldn't keep their composure any longer.

"Jiang Yang, Auntie didn't say it like that."

Keitaro whispered a reminder.

"Well, there's no difference."

"No, young man, how can you talk like that? It's as if I'm an unscrupulous parent who controls my child's life. What do you know? Heyan is still young. When he grows up, he'll understand that I'm doing this for his own good. Instead of pursuing unrealistic things, it's better to be down-to-earth."

"Ah, I see. Hmm, I understand. I know your needs, and I'll accept this commission. Just one last confirmation, you want him to give up his dreams and go home to help, right?"

“That’s right, Kazuhiko is not young anymore, it’s time for him to face reality.”

"Okay, here's your contact information. You can go about your business now. We'll resolve the issue for you as soon as possible and contact you again then. We can discuss payment after this is all over."

After seeing the aunt off.

"Jiang Yang, is this really okay?"

Keitaro was somewhat uncertain.

"You mean the payment? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter which way it comes. Rather, it would be more troublesome to get the payment first."

"I'm not talking about the payment anymore. It's about this commission. Are we really going to make Kazuhiko give up his dream? It just feels too cruel."

Qiao had already sat down to the side. From the beginning, these people had been talking about the meaninglessness of dreams, which he didn't understand at all and didn't want to participate in.

"Dreams~"

Jiang Yang shrugged.

"Why do you think I didn't collect payment upfront, or even a deposit?"

"Why? Could it be..."

"Not charging money means we're only helping, not hiring, you understand?"

If it's not an employment relationship, then there's no need to completely follow the other party's ideas.

"So you're not worried that they won't pay in the end?"

“What’s there to worry about, Keitaro? You should know that this kind of person cares a lot about his reputation.”

Jiang Yang didn't finish his sentence. Actually, he didn't care whether the other party gave him money or not. The Yorozuya was just an identity for him, an identity that wouldn't be strange to appear anywhere.

Looking at Jiang Yang's smile, Qi Taro felt a chill run down his spine.

Yamate University of Music, the oldest music university in Tokyo, has cultivated many well-educated musicians and music educators with the philosophy of "contributing to society through music".

This is also the goal of Jiang Yang's commission this time.

The people who came to participate in the commission this time included Jiang Yang, Qi Taro, and Qiao Ye.

Keitaro offered to help, but Takumi was dragged over by Keitaro.

Zhenli's dream is to become a beautician, and she has been going to beauty salons these past few days to study in order to achieve her dream.

"Let's split up and search. We'll regroup once we find them. Also, according to the information I've gathered, there are rumors circulating at Yamate University that monsters have appeared on campus. If possible, gather information on that as well. Of course, safety first."

After a brief arrangement of his work, Jiang Yang went to the school.

If he hadn't time-traveled, he would have been a university student right away.

Seeing Jiang Yang leave, Qiao and Qi Taro exchanged a glance and nodded. Qi Taro went straight back to the car, grabbed a bag, and then began to act.

"Have you heard? That person is back at school."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"Oh, that person, the genius student from Yamate University, our Kaido-senpai."

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, you're so funny. You're just a useless person, not a genius."

"Huh? I remember Misaki, didn't you come to Yamate because you admire Kaidou-senpai?"

"Oh dear, please stop talking. I'll be laughed at if someone hears me."

Hearing the women talking, Jiang Yang's expression turned sour.

This is reality, the reality that Kaido experienced.

"Really? Kaidou is here too. It seems the times are a bit different."

The plot's timeline isn't as tight anymore, but that doesn't really matter.

After searching for about ten minutes, Jiang Yang finally saw the person named He Yan in the photo. He walked over to call out to him, but then discovered something else.

"Hey, let's see who this is. Um, um, never mind, I can't remember your name. After all, it's not important. I mean, what are you doing here? You're no longer a student, so you're no longer qualified to be here."

From afar, Jiang Yang saw six or seven people surrounding a single person, all of them wearing expressions of mockery and displeasure. And who else could that person in the middle be but Haitang?

"You've always been a weirdo, but back then you were a genius, so nobody bothered you. Now, if you can't play the guitar, you're just a piece of trash."

"Damn it, you used to be nothing more than a bootlicker following me around, but now you've gotten all arrogant. Fine, that'll end today. By the way, let me treat you to some music. My newly learned playing technique—you are the instruments, and the music is your lament!"

Kaidou's face was full of anger. He shouted and prepared to transform, while Jiang Yang subconsciously took out his belt.

"What are you doing!"

A voice came from behind, and everyone turned to look.

"teacher."

Kaidou's angry expression suddenly froze.

"It's common sense that people who work in the music industry shouldn't use violence."

As he spoke, he looked at Kaido.

"I understand how you feel, just like you. But what was with your behavior just now?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he looked somewhat guilty.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I didn't mean to cause you any trouble."

Jiang Yang could tell that Haitang respected his teacher very much. Even though he was very angry, his anger was suppressed when he saw his teacher.

But when Jiang Yang saw this teacher come out, all he could say was, "The beast has appeared."

This guy is a beast in every way. He may be musically talented, but he is not fit to be a teacher. He is not qualified.
