A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

"Keitaro, what's the situation between you and Yuka now?"

"Hehehehe..."

Keitaro just kept grinning like an idiot, and Jiang Yang's lips twitched as he watched this scene.

He never expected that Yuka would be so effective against Keitaro, turning a simpleton into a fool.

To be honest, Jiang Yang had considered that Keitaro and Yuka might fall in love if they met earlier, but he never expected Keitaro to fall for her so quickly.

I'm afraid that when Keitaro finds out that Yuka is an Orphnoch, he won't be able to accept it right away.

Don't misunderstand, Jiang Yang doesn't think that Keitaro would abandon Yuka just because she's an Orphnoch. Keitaro isn't that kind of person.

But suddenly receiving such explosive news could very well cause his brain to shut down, and if he says something he shouldn't, the consequences could be severe.

Isn't that how it's written in anime and novels?

The oblivious male protagonist says something he shouldn't, and then the two start arguing. They both know what they should do, but they just can't take that step, and then the male protagonist has a stomachache for a long time.

If possible, Jiang Yang still hopes that Qi Taro's love can have a good outcome.

Perhaps it's time to start laying the groundwork.

He planned to occasionally mention Orphnoch in their future conversations, hoping to instill some ideas in Keitaro.

For example, a person isn't necessarily a good person, and an Orphnoch isn't necessarily a bad person. A wise person judges by actions, not intentions, because by intentions, no one in the world is perfect. That's pretty much it.

Even after returning home, he couldn't rest. Today's battle with Nishida made him realize once again that he had no fighting talent.

Nishida can quickly adapt to IXA thanks to his talent and can make the right decisions based on his intuition, but Jiang Yang cannot.

He always acts on a whim in every battle; he doesn't anticipate the enemy's attacks or plan any specific tactics. He only knows what his next move should be after he has thrown a punch and confirmed its effect.

He has no talent for fighting.

Although Jiang Yang's reaction speed is now extraordinary, he can handle most situations with the help of IKA. However, relying too much on improvisation will eventually lead to serious consequences.

There's nothing we can do about it. Combat talent is innate, and the only way to make up for it later is through experience, which takes time to accumulate.

Right now, he can only train simple power generation techniques and his reaction time.

During this time, he did not show anything special, nor did he take anything out of the system.

The reason is simple: he suspects that someone has installed surveillance cameras in his home. He is not sure exactly where they are installed, but they are likely there.

The arrangement of some items in the house is different from when he left.

Of course, he didn't tie any hair to the door, nor did he put any pencil lead in it. These things are too easily damaged, and he worried that he would be clumsy and wouldn't be able to tell whether he broke it in the first place or later.

He simply stuck some transparent tape on the doors and windows, in very hidden places that would be completely unnoticed unless you looked closely. It was just a small patch, and even if someone did notice, no one would suspect anything.

But he can tell if someone has opened a door or window through the tape.

The result was that there were signs that the doors and windows had been opened.

Someone entered his house while he was away. However, nothing was missing, so it's highly unlikely to be a burglar.

Of course, it's also possible that his house was so poor that there was nothing of value, that even thieves would shake their heads and not take anything.

Okay, let's rule that out too. It's impossible for a thief to rummage through the wardrobe and then tidy it up for you.

"It's time to move to a different place."

That's what they say, but there are still some problems finding a new place to live.

Although Jiang Yang received a considerable amount of start-up capital from Orphino, it wasn't much. It was enough to pay his current rent, then pay Keitaro, and still have enough to live on for a long time.

However, if you want to rent a nicer place to live, that might not be enough.

The saying "Even a hero can be brought down by a penny" is not just a saying.

Perhaps I could try robbing the rich to help the poor again, of course, I would be the poor one.

We can talk about changing accommodations later. The surveillance shouldn't be a problem in the short term. I just need to be careful not to reveal the existence of this space.

It's nothing more than monitoring people's lives. Weren't there enough cameras installed in schools in my previous life?

I don't stay home all day long; I just go home to sleep at most. As long as there are no cameras in the bathroom, it's fine.

"Probably not."

The AI ​​would probably disdain such a perverted thing as installing a camera in the toilet.

Jiang Yang wasn't sure either, so he searched the toilet thoroughly, even using a magnet to scan every part of it, including the ceiling, before finally confirming that everything was okay before using the toilet.

Of course, he didn't know whether the magnet was useful or not.

The next day.

Jiang Yang got up very early and embarked on his journey to find Cao Jia. Well, calling it a journey is a bit of an exaggeration; he only needed to meet her once. After all, he had already obtained her contact information.

The call was dialed and answered shortly afterward.

"Hello, this is Soka. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, you can call me Jiang Yang. I have a deal to make that I think you might be interested in."

There was a brief silence on the other end, and then…

"I'm sorry, but if it's a scam, I think you've contacted the wrong person."

"Ryuuseijuku."

Jiang Yang simply uttered those three words.

"What do you know?"

The tone on the other end suddenly changed; what was that thing again? Killing intent.

Are you interested in making a deal now?

"Tsk, time, place."

"I'm on my way to your school. See you there later."

After saying that, Jiang Yang hung up the phone.

I rode my bike towards my destination.

Today wasn't a very lucky day. The Zhan Shi was spotted by traffic police on the road, who kept following it and asking it to stop and show its driver's license.

He does have a driver's license, but as for his other documents, well...

With a slight increase in speed, the speed of the War Lion is far beyond the reach of mere traffic police.

Easily shake off.

Actually, Jiang Yang really wanted to cooperate with the traffic police; he was a law-abiding citizen.

The problem is, there's absolutely no information about the War Lion. It's an unregistered, modified vehicle, and if it gets caught, it will definitely be towed away. If the War Lion is towed away, it will become one of the biggest jokes in the history of motorcycle racing.

Of course, he can't be considered a knight yet.

Just because someone can transform doesn't mean they're a Kamen Rider.

Soka's school.

After receiving the call from someone claiming to be from Jiang Yang, Cao Jia remained distracted. The caller's tone suggested that he knew a lot of things.

He was certain that no one else at Meteor Academy remembered what happened that night, meaning that if Jiang Yang really knew something, he must have learned it from somewhere else.

Does anyone else know what happened that night?

No need to think about it.

Why is this person suddenly contacting me? Do they want to have tea with me?

No, there must be some other purpose, but what exactly is it?

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't need to worry about it too much. Once they met, he would know everything.

"Jiang Yang..."

He clenched his fist as he repeated the name.
