A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Jiang Yang is currently considering one thing: to maximize combat power. Since Jiang Yang himself uses the Battle Extreme Driver, he needs to find someone to use the ixa in his possession.

Ideally, they should be reliable, capable of transforming into combatants.

Not only the ixa, but also the G3-X, requires finding a few people who can work together to use it.

Regarding the G3-X, Jiang Yang considered having a few people from Meteor Academy use it. Putting aside everything else, he figured that the others probably wouldn't be able to drive a G-car. Maybe Masuda-sensei had the skill, but Jiang Yang certainly didn't.

This is one of the reasons why he felt the G3-X was useless to him.

I'll ask about that later.

The other party probably won't refuse.

As for ixa.

Jiang Yang hesitated.

In theory, there are two trustworthy people I can give it to: Yuji Kiba and Keitaro.

Kiba is on his side, and having experienced battle, he could definitely use the Ixa directly as a fighting force. However, Jiang Yang himself has the ability to transform into an Orphnoch to fight, so he wondered if giving the Ixa to Kiba might not be the best choice.

As for Keitaro, regardless of his fighting ability, he's definitely someone you can trust. He's a combination of honesty and kindness. He's the kind of person who, given the choice between being betrayed and betraying others, would choose the former.

In battle, Keitaro transformed into Caesar for the only time in Lost Paradise. Although his combat performance wasn't particularly outstanding, it wasn't anything that would leave anyone speechless either.

With the assistance of the ixa's built-in computer, it should also be a valuable asset.

just.

To be honest, Jiang Yangqi didn't really want Qitaro to participate in the battle. Although his side had enough combat power, battles were full of unknowns, and he was still worried that Qitaro might get injured while participating in the battle.

Such good people were rare in that era, though they couldn't be called an endangered species. What's even more remarkable is that Keitaro could distinguish right from wrong.

It should be noted that good that cannot distinguish right from wrong is sometimes more hateful than evil, which is why Keitaro, who can distinguish right from wrong, is so rare.

It's at least SR level.

ixa, let's talk about it later. Let's borrow the G3-X first. There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately.

Nishida's situation was a bit bad. The overload of the IXA system caused him to take the Orphnoch's attack head-on. The two attacks combined had exhausted his body. Ugh, pineapple pineapple!

It's estimated that they won't be able to continue fighting for a while.

Indeed, one cannot generalize about the physical condition of each person; not everyone possesses the enviable physical qualities and vitality of Red Dad.

But that's enough. Nishida, who should have died long ago, has not only survived to this day, but has also protected his family. What more could he ask for?

Nishida, on the other hand, felt very apologetic to Jiang Yang, and he felt extremely guilty for losing the ixa belt.

How valuable is the ixa belt?

That's something that money can't measure; holding that thing in your hand might mean saving your life.

He felt incredibly guilty for losing it, especially since it had fallen into enemy hands.

"Don't worry about it too much. I was going to ask you to hand over the belt anyway."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"You're aware of the belt's side effects. I was planning to have you and me put on a show so the belt would end up in the hands of some Orphnoch. I just didn't expect that Orphnoch would appear before his plan even began. That saves me the trouble of thinking about it."

"Orphnoch, so that person was the one we should take revenge on back then. Jiang Yang, tell me, what exactly is this so-called revenge?"

Nishida simply couldn't understand what Jiang Yang meant by revenge. He had absolutely no idea about the grudges against their Meteor Academy.

"This is not something I should tell you. Alright, you'll find out when the time is right."

As for when we should know, that depends on when Masuda and Soga decide to tell us.

Jiang Yang was tired of explaining and wanted to save his breath to get down to business.

"Putting that aside, does none of you have a truck driver's license?"

"what?"

"It's a driver's license for large trucks. Does anyone know how to drive a truck?"

After Jiang Yang asked that question, he noticed that everyone else looked at him strangely. A driver's license for a large truck?

How could an ordinary person possibly have such a thing?

"Well, although I don't have a driver's license, I can drive."

As expected, Mr. Masuda stepped forward.

"It's okay if you don't have a driver's license."

As long as I can drive, that's fine.

"I'm planning to start tomorrow, and I need your help."

"Get to work? Get to work on what? What help are you going to give?"

Will you drive me to hit someone?

"You'll find out once you come with me."

Jiang Yang, along with Masuda, Shinto Takahisa, Kyosuke, and Abe Rina, set off for the outskirts. There was no other way; the G-trailer was too big and would be too conspicuous in the city.

When they saw the G-trailer, everyone was stunned. Wasn't this vehicle a bit too big? It was no longer the size of a regular truck.

But the truly shocking part was yet to come. Inside the vehicle, it was configured like a mobile base. The most eye-catching feature was the storage rack holding G3-X parts and weapons. Just looking at that thing made me want to... cough cough, get all fired up.

"What is this?"

"G3-X is a different type of armor from IXA, Faiz, and Caesar, which are belt-transformed armors. The only requirement for wearing it is excellent physical fitness."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Jiang Yang with strange expressions.

Seeing their expressions, Jiang Yang already guessed what they wanted to say.

"Jiang Yang, who exactly are you?"

Jiang Yang said he's already used to it.

"So, you're going to lend this to us?"

Masuda was still somewhat incredulous. Why was Jiang Yang helping them so much, both with the previous ixa and the current G3-X?

"Um, can Mr. Masuda drive this car?"

"I've checked the operating system; it can be turned on."

"Speaking of which, where is the G3-X's belt?"

Shinto Takahisa looked around but didn't see the transformation belt. It wasn't that it wasn't there, but something just didn't feel right about it.

Speaking of which, these are all components. Does that mean other belts are like this, only transmitting power to the user when needed?

"Well, you'll know once you actually wear it."

Jiang Yang's lips curled up in a smile.

Then, amidst the astonished expressions of the crowd, Jiang Yang had Shindo Takahisa put on a special undershirt and then manipulated the control panel to install each component.

"This, this,"

After seeing the transformations of Faiz, Caesar, and even Ixa, the G3-X's attire is truly unpretentious.

"how do you feel?"

"Unlike the ixa, it's heavier than the ixa, but very subtly so. When you move around, there's no feeling of restriction, and you don't feel as much burden."

"That's it. Next, I will tell you what I know about G3-X and teach you how to use the support device. I need you to familiarize yourselves with it as quickly as possible. You don't need to master it completely, but you need to be able to participate in combat tomorrow."

"no problem!"

Shinto Takahisa readily agreed.

He was never afraid of death. He just didn't have the chance to use the Caesar's belt when it was still around. Like Kiyotaka Nishida, he was willing to give up even his life to protect others.

However, the ixa was not suitable for him, and Nishida wouldn't allow anyone else to use it. Now, with the G3-X, he felt he could handle it.
