A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Nishida!"

Having witnessed too many of their comrades die from the side effects of the belt, everyone panicked the moment they saw Kiyotaka Nishida collapse, and rushed over without thinking.

Jiang Yang followed behind them at a leisurely pace. He knew that the ixa was under too much pressure and had exceeded its capacity, meaning it was overloaded.

The prototype ixa itself puts a great strain on the wearer's body, and the system's pressure relief function is not perfect, which can lead to pressure overload during long-term transformation.

The pressure created in that instant was something even the Blood Demon's executives couldn't ignore, let alone ordinary people.

"Nishida, Nishida, how are you, hello."

When everyone arrived, they saw Nishida lying on the ground, soaked in sweat, his body still twitching slightly. He was completely unconscious.

Teacher Masuda held the unconscious Nishida in his arms. It seemed that the calls of everyone had some kind of power, and Nishida's consciousness was awakened.

"Teacher, I... I did it! I defeated Orphnoch!"

"Yes, yes, I know, your teacher is proud of you."

"Teacher, will I... will I die?"

"No, no, Nishida, you won't die, don't give up."

The students around him were also cheering for Xitian, a scene that deeply moved Jiang Yang.

"Don't worry, he definitely won't die."

"You bastard, it's all because of you, because of your lousy belt."

He seemed to have lost control of his emotions, raising his fist and charging at Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang easily dodged, then hooked the guy with his foot, sending him sprawling to the ground.

"Calm down, he won't die. He just overused the belt and exhausted himself. He'll be fine after a few days of rest."

As Jiang Yang was speaking, he squatted down to retrieve the ixa belt. At that moment, Nishida suddenly reached out and grabbed the belt.

"Hmph~ Oh, interesting. Even after experiencing this pain, you're still willing to continue using it?"

"I must protect them, I absolutely must."

As he spoke, Nishida fainted again.

"You are, in a way, both surprising and unsurprising. Never mind."

Release your grip and lower the belt.

"You can borrow this belt for now. In exchange, how about I keep Caesar's belt for you? Of course, once we find Kusaka Masato, I will naturally hand the belt over to him."

"You're dreaming. I would never do that."

The guy on the ground had already gotten up and was relieved to know that Nishida wouldn't die.

But his temper hadn't subsided.

"Kyousuke!"

Masuda spoke up.

"But, teacher, this belt."

"Kyousuke, stop talking."

The others nearby also spoke up, but then stopped.

"Since no one objects, then it's decided. The next step is to find Kusaka Masato. We'll have to rely on you for that. It'll be a pleasure working together."

"Actually, we roughly know where Kusaka is..."

Masuda sighed as he watched Jiang Yang leave with the Caesar's belt.

"Teacher, is this really the right thing to do? Can we really trust him?"

Masuda shook his head.

"I don't know, but I can't let anything else happen to you."

On the other side, Jiang Yang held the Caesar belt but did not put it into his spatial storage.

He suspected there was a tracking system on the belt and wanted to see if it could attract something like an Orphnoch.

Jiang Yang had already considered leaving the IXA belt there for the time being; if Nishida used it, it wouldn't easily fall into the hands of the AI.

Even if the AI ​​gets hold of it, it won't be able to crack IXA anytime soon, since it's technology from another world, and there are probably many of the materials involved that this world doesn't have either.

After all, there are no tooth-blooded vampires in this world.

Even if it gets stolen, we can just steal it back.

Moreover, if he's not mistaken, the chances of them being attacked will be significantly reduced after he takes Caesar's belt.

As for him now, he's going to find the Best Actor.

To be honest, Jiang Yang disliked Kusaka Masato somewhat because what he did was too dark for Jiang Yang, who was watching TV at the time.

Simply put, he thinks Kusaka is a villain.

Of course, I still feel that way now.

The difference is that he now feels that Soga is very loyal to his desires and has an unwavering belief.

This guy wants to wipe out all the Orphnochs, whether they hurt people or not, and even his own adoptive father is his target.

Therefore, he is capable of doing anything without any moral boundaries.

But there are things he wants to protect, and he is willing to give everything for them.

Even knowing that death awaits him, he will fight without hesitation.

He is a pure yet complex person.

Of course, this specifically refers to the Kusaka from the TV series. The Kusaka who exists in other worldviews is even more disgusting, and we can only say that we should justify cutting them off.

According to them, Soga is currently studying at a university.

Upon learning this news, Jiang Yang immediately prepared to go find the person.

He set off after asking them to find Saya and Sawada.

He wanted to bring Caesar into the fray ahead of time and concentrate his forces as much as possible, but he needed to avoid two things.

First, we need to prevent Takumi's Orphnoch identity from being exposed, at least not to Soga. Second, we need to avoid Kiba Yuuji and Soga from clashing.

This guy's hatred for the Orphnochs makes him indifferent to whether the Orphnochs he faces are enemies or not.

Jiang Yang estimated that if he were an Orphnoch, he would commit suicide after annihilating all the Orphnochs, just like Takayama Jin.

Considering the years in which Zongzi and Faiz were created, this statement may not be entirely accurate, but these two individuals do indeed share some similarities.

However, Jiang Yang prefers lonely elderly people to movie stars.

After all, Jin Takayama wouldn't harm ordinary people to eliminate Amazons or kill zombies, unlike Kusaka.

I spent the whole day cycling, and by the time I found the university where Soga was, it was already afternoon. The school's academic affairs office was already preparing to close.

Jiang Yang simply forced the other party to stay and work overtime by offering money.

Just kidding, he missed Qiaoye's famous quote about protecting his dream, missed the cathartic scene of Kiba beating up the beastly teacher, and missed Haitang's music. If he misses this too, he'll go crazy.

I found Masato Kusaka in the student roster, along with his contact information.

When searching, Jiang Yang was absolutely certain that it was Kusaka Masato, and not any other Kusaka.

There's a strange phenomenon in the world of Faiz: when people introduce themselves, they only say their surname and not their given name.

Take Keitaro and Yuka, for example. When they introduced themselves, they said Kikuchi and Nagata. If they had just said their full names and chatted a bit more, they would have recognized each other long ago.

This has happened more than once, including when we were looking for Kusaka.

All I can say is, well done, this guy who likes to create stomach-churning plots. I hope his inbox is never empty and is always overflowing.

Now that he had a phone call, Jiang Yang wasn't in a hurry anymore. He planned to go see Cao Jia tomorrow. Firstly, it was already late today, and riding his bike all day had left him exhausted. He hadn't even had a proper meal yet; he'd only been eating snacks and such stored in his spatial storage.

Secondly, he is not in a hurry, or at least there is no need for such a tight schedule.

It's already getting dark, time to have a proper meal and get some rest.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Although Jiang Yang just wanted to take a break right now.
