A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Although Keitaro was willing to help, Jiang Yang couldn't just leave everything to Keitaro, otherwise he would feel embarrassed to take more money when it came time to split the profits.

We still need to move around a bit.

As Jiang Yang stepped out the door, a thought flashed through his mind, and then his expression changed slightly.

Before he knew it, he had something else in his hand: a silver coin.

"Tsk, here we go again."

Since the first coin was produced, Jiang Yang found that he was automatically absorbing, or more accurately, the coins in his body were circulating on their own, seemingly absorbing a very small portion from the overflowing desires of others and slowly transforming it into cellular coins.

With this one added, Jiang Yang now possesses twenty cell coins.

He could feel the coin inside his body undergoing some changes, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Recently, however, he has had a hunch that he can absorb the Cell Coin into his body.

It was just a feeling, and he dared not try it. Although the system's explanation said that he would not become a greedy person, the current situation did indeed frighten him.

If you're going to become an insatiable, incomplete monster like the Greedy One, you might as well become an Orphnoch. Even though your lifespan is shorter, at least you'll get satisfaction.

He collected the coins and put them in his system inventory space; he dared not absorb them or throw them away carelessly.

It's worth noting that the occurrence of Cell Medals appearing at the wrong time, leading to a major crisis in Kamen Rider history, has already happened before.

Jiang Yang couldn't guarantee that his reckless use of power wouldn't cause any major unforeseen events.

The ixa is alright; at worst, it can be stolen and then taken back.

It's hard to say with coins.

In short, caution is the best policy.

To his relief, his body has remained largely unchanged except for being slightly stronger than before.

He could only feel that he could absorb Cell Coins, but he didn't have the feeling of being able to use Cell Coins to produce Devouring Monsters.

That's true. With only one Core Medal, and not even a complete one, it's normal that it can't produce any Devourers. Ultimately, it's a power it doesn't need at all.

Jiang Yang is searching for the snail's orphin.

At the same time, things didn't stop anywhere else either.

On Kusaka's side, as his energy was replenished, an energy binding bullet was fired and hit the Orphnoch in front of him. Then, he charged forward with his sword and slashed.

In the symbol unique to Caesar, Orphnoch was reduced to ashes and died.

After reverting to his original form, Kusaka looked at the pile of ash on the ground. He half-squatted down and picked up a handful. This was ash, meaningless ash.

"The road to death?"

He shook his head.

I will absolutely not be confused, nor will I allow myself to be confused. I must kill all the Orphnochs, I must.

He glanced at the ashes on his palm, as if remembering something, and quickly took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe them off.

On Masuda's side, Nishida was exercising. After using it only once, he already knew very well that the ixa belt was not something an ordinary person could use.

Clearly, he was just an ordinary person.

But he couldn't give up. The belt was power, the power to protect him. He had to become stronger, even if it meant transforming once more, he would gain more power.

Masuda saw Nishida Kiyotaka's behavior and could only sigh. He couldn't do anything about it, and he didn't even dare to tell the children the truth.

He worried that they wouldn't be able to accept the facts.

The Caesar belt has been handed over to Yato, and Jiang Yang has decided to let them hold the ixa belt for the time being.

They all tried on this belt yesterday. The requirements for transformation are almost non-existent. Even a middle-aged man like him who doesn't exercise can wear the ixa.

However, being able to wear them is one thing, but being able to bear the weight of them is another.

Just putting it on and then deactivating the transformation made him feel a sense of pressure. He was certain that his body couldn't possibly complete even one battle while wearing the ixa.

To be honest, he didn't want his students to go through that again.

He even wondered if, as Jiang Yang had said, Orphnoch had only approached them for the belt, and now that the belt was gone, they would never encounter Orphnoch again.

If that's the case, then returning IXA and letting these children live ordinary lives is the right choice, he believes.

But he could only think about it. He couldn't persuade Nishida at all.

"Qinggao, take a rest for a while. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so it's not suitable for strenuous exercise."

"I understand, teacher."

Despite saying that, he insisted on finishing the last set of movements before stopping.

I took the water the teacher handed me.

"Thank you."

"I think that belt is... a bit too high-minded."

"Teacher, I know."

He didn't let his teacher finish speaking because he knew what his teacher wanted to say and he knew what his choice was. Since the outcome was already determined from the beginning, it's best not to do anything that might affect your choice.

"I'm really sorry."

"what?"

"You were risking your life to protect the fight, but I didn't say anything. I'm really sorry."

"Don't say that. The teacher must have his own reasons. I believe in the teacher."

"Aloof and superior..."

"Hey teacher, it's time to eat."

Jiang Yang continued his investigation on foot. There was no particular reason for not riding the War Lion; it was just that there were unusually many police officers on the street today.

Although the War Lion is fast, the police can issue arrest warrants just as quickly. It's best to avoid trouble if you can avoid it.

Although Jiang Yang wanted to say that he was a law-abiding citizen, he had done many illegal things, so he was not so comfortable continuing to say that he was law-abiding.

Two hours passed, and Jiang Yang had searched the entire neighborhood, asking every household he could find.

As for what we gained, it wasn't entirely without benefit, but it wasn't of much use.

The intruders only operate at night, and each time they target a house that is empty during their operation.

The intruder must have investigated the homeowner's daily routine, and their purpose was likely to avoid being caught.

Jiang Yang hasn't found the location of Snail Orphino's last crime yet. If he knew where it was, things would be much easier later on.

Keitaro just called to say he'll come help after delivering the clothes, and he'll call Takumi and Mari along to help too.

Pulling both of them out at this time is truly remarkable; Keitaro accomplished something others couldn't with such ease.

There was still some time before Keitaro arrived, so he planned to find a place to rest. He had been running around asking questions and was very thirsty.

It was at this moment that he saw another bench.

"Holy crap, no way."

Given what happened after he found the bench the previous two times, he decided to avoid it and go somewhere else.

But after walking a short distance, I saw another bench.

Jiang Yang's facial expression twitched, twisted, and was close to collapsing (for details, please refer to Grand Blue).

This damn guy, he's not getting over this joke, is he?

Okay, okay, it's just last year's baseball tournament. This time, he promises he won't laugh.

He walked to the bench, sat down, took out a bottle of water and started drinking. Although the system's backpack space had a limited number of slots, he didn't have that much stuff to put in it, so he would put some supplies, water, food and the like in it.

Suddenly, Jiang Yang, who was drinking water, heard footsteps.
