A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

While Jiang Yang was tracking Teruo, the others were also busy, especially Shinto Takahisa. Ever since he participated in the battle and eliminated Kitasaki, he was full of confidence with the G3-X in hand.

They immediately attacked upon encountering an Orphnoch, and have fought quite a few battles these past two days. This guy's fighting style is rather wild; he likes to get close and use his Vulcan cannon to attack directly in the face.

As a result, the G3-X's ammunition was consumed extremely quickly, and the armor damage was more severe than expected.

The key issue is that they have no one to repair it or produce ammunition, which has drastically reduced the G3-X's combat strength. Although it can still fight in its armor, the only weapons it has are the Scorpio, the Accelerator, and a Salamander grenade.

Jiang Yang probably didn't expect this guy to be so outrageous. Although there wasn't much ammunition on the vehicle, it shouldn't have been used up so quickly.

Today, Shinto had just finished a battle and hadn't even taken off his armor when he heard that an uninvited guest had arrived at the convoy. Sawada Aki.

He rode his motorcycle back and forth, just in time to encounter Sawada Aki transformed into an Orphnoch and was about to start killing people—no, she had already killed people. Another female member of the team besides Abe Rina was already dead.

Shinto Takahisa's eyes turned red.

Without saying a word, he fired the last grenade, which hit him from behind, sending Sawada Aki flying.

"Sawada Aki, you son of a bitch! Get away from them!"

With that, he grabbed the speed booster and charged forward.

"No, Guijiu, your armor is severely damaged, and your energy reserves are less than 30%. You cannot continue fighting!"

Through her headset, Abe Rina looked anxiously at the G3-X data on the screen. They had been fighting for days, and no one had repaired the armor. It hadn't even been fully charged. If they continued fighting, the armor would break down.

"I'm measured!"

After several days of fighting, he had become familiar with the G3-X. Although it was now severely damaged, his combat effectiveness had not decreased much.

He wanted to teach Sawada, this traitor, a lesson.

But as soon as the battle started, he realized something was wrong. Sawada wasn't the ordinary Orphnoch he had been dealing with these past few days. This guy was incredibly strong. If he were at full strength and had plenty of ammo, he was confident he could win.

But now, the losses are too severe, and there's hardly any battery left.

"I'll hold him off, you guys go!"

"Leave? You can't go anywhere. Hand over the belt."

A voice came, and then a smart middle-aged man in a suit appeared in his line of sight.

Before he could even ask the question of death, the other party transformed into an Orphnoch, a pure white Orphnoch whose head looked like a pure white rose.

"It's the Orphnoch Jiang Yang mentioned! Gui Jiu, run! I've already contacted backup, they'll be here soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rose Orphnoch raised his hand, and a bunch of rose petals shot out from the rose on its head. These rose petals landed on G3-X, sparking bursts of sparks. At the same time, a shockwave sent Shindo Takahisa flying, crashing into a tree before falling to the ground.

"The energy pack was damaged in that last attack, and the energy is rapidly decreasing. Guijiu, run!"

"I'd like to, but do you think I can escape?"

Forcing himself to get up despite the pain, he saw two Orphnochs, Rose Orphnoch and Sawada Aki, approaching side by side.

With less than 10% battery remaining and still depleting, once the battery is completely depleted, the G3-X will become an immobile metal lump. Am I going to die here?

Unfortunately, the battery ran out at that moment, and the device stopped operating. All that was left was heavy armor with high defense, so Z couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

In utter despair, Shinto was about to cry out, "My life is over!"

Suddenly, several shots landed on Sawada. Sawada cried out in pain and took a few steps back. Rose Orphnoch also retreated under the gunfire.

Shindo Takahisa wanted to turn his head to see what had happened, but he found it difficult to move.

"Run, you idiot!"

Abe Rina's voice came through the earpiece, and Shindo Takahisa realized that now was the perfect opportunity to escape, so he did his best to press the emergency escape button.

Cost off!

The G3-X armor popped open quickly, revealing Shinto Takahisa inside. He glanced at Sawada and Rose Orphnoch, then got up and ran away.

As he fled, Shinto Takahisa saw it: a pitch-black entity covered in white photon blood. He recognized it. Delta, meaning the person inside was Saya.

After Shindo Takahisa ran to the motorcycle, Delta also retreated immediately. She was somewhat confident in taking on one of them, but taking on two at once was out of the question.

Sawada Aki wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Rose Orphnoch.

Murakami transformed back into human form, looked at the G3-X on the ground, and then glanced in the direction the convoy had gone.

"The goal has been achieved; there's no need to waste time."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and then the blue-clad enchantress appeared with two people to retrieve the G3-X.

When Kusa arrived, upon hearing that someone had been killed by Sawada, he immediately kicked a roadside trash can.

"That bastard, I'll never let him get away with this!"

Just as Jiang Yang said, Sawada turned into an Orphnoch and began attacking the survivors of Meteor Academy.

If left unchecked, he'll eventually come after Sensei, something Kusaka absolutely cannot allow. Before that happens, he needs to find Sawada and kill him.

Jiang Yang learned about this more than an hour later. In order to avoid being discovered while tracking, he silenced his phone.

After tracking for over an hour, they found nothing, but they did discover that this little guy named Zhaofu was indeed born with a soft persimmon body, or rather, a cotton body.

They really are bullied wherever they go.

For some reason, the other children seemed to dislike him. Whenever he got close, they would get angry and try to bully him.

The worst part is that this guy just stands there and gets bullied; he doesn't even know how to run away.

Later, Kaidou couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to stop the bullying, but Teruo still didn't appreciate it and ran away on his own.

Kaidou was really worried, so he followed them.

Jiang Yang noticed a missed call on his phone, so he called back.

"Are you sure it's Rose Orphino?"

"I'm sure, he's standing with Sawada, I can't be mistaken."

"I understand. Don't blame yourself for what happened with G3-X. Take good care of yourself and give my regards to Nishida and Saya."

Jiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

He wasn't angry about the G3-X incident; he was mentally prepared for it to turn out this way. He just hadn't expected Murakami Kyoji to personally intervene.

"Rose Orphnoch".

Sawada will be with Murakami Kyoji, most likely because he joined Lucky Clover. Given Murakami's severe manpower shortage, Sawada, with his decent combat strength, would be a good choice.

However, even he himself has personally taken to the field, so it seems he's about to get busy again.

He's been very busy, though. He hasn't done any Yorozuya missions these past few days.
