A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

To make it easier for them to understand, Jiang Yang repeated the story of King Orphnoch, emphasizing the prophecy that the king would be born from a child who had narrowly escaped death.

To be honest, Jiang Yang was very curious about where this information came from. Could it be that Orphino also had its own record of peaceful customs?

After hearing Jiang Yang's words, everyone's expression turned very grim, especially Cao Jia, who was reminded of his past by Jiang Yang's words.

"Jiang Yang, tell me, are we like this too?"

They, everyone at Meteor Academy, are survivors of various accidents. If the Orphnoch King is born from among those who have narrowly escaped death, does that mean they became orphans and came to Meteor Academy for this very purpose?

If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Why did Kitasaki appear at Meteor Academy that night? Why did the killing begin?

Because they suspected that King Orphnoch was among them, they wanted to activate him through death. They were right, they were right.

"You shouldn't be asking me this question, but never mind, I'll answer it. The Meteor Academy did indeed appear with the purpose of finding King Orphnoch. But I haven't investigated your childhood experiences. However, I suspect that was really just an accident."

"What makes you so sure?"

"What I said was just an estimate. Hanagata probably really considers you family. There might have been other reasons for what happened back then, otherwise there would have been no need to bring you back to life after killing you. What do you think?"

Kusaka finally calmed down.

"What do you need us to do?"

"It's very simple. I will spread the word that the King has been born and is under my, uh, protection. At that time, the AI ​​will definitely do everything it can to find the King. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it by myself, so I need your help."

Once the AI ​​knows that the King has been born, the man-made disaster will stop. Of course, just as Jiang Yang said, the AI ​​Group will do everything in its power to seize the King.

There certainly won't be just one or two Orphnochs at that time. To be honest, he wasn't confident that Jiang Yang would be the only one.

If I had a Victory Roar Lock Seed, I'd be a bulldozer! Stack the thickest armor, take the most brutal hits—of course, that's in the world of Gaim. It's just a shame I didn't pull it.

Jiang Yang also asked Kusaka to contact Saya. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the final battle. To be on the safe side, it's best to bring out all the forces.

As for the ixa prototype, he thought about it and decided not to let Nishida continue using it, as he had other uses for it.

In the Faiz world, Orphnochs have a habit of using any belt they find on the ground to transform as soon as possible.

None of them refused, and so the plan was basically finalized: Jiang Yang would release the information, while the others would conserve their energy and wait for the battle to begin.

Of course, while it's said to be a time to rest and recharge, we can't really stop. Orphnochs are appearing everywhere, and everyone is constantly on the go.

Jiang Yang also took this opportunity to speed up his progress. The continuous battles made his progress grow very quickly, and he estimated that he would be fully charged by the time the final battle ended.

Regarding the existence of King Oo, he directly released information saying that he had discovered and hidden King Oo's parasite, with no clear purpose.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, Murakami Kyoji wouldn't give up; he would definitely come knocking on his door.

It's a pity that the final adjustments to the Faiz Explosives weren't finished, otherwise they would have had an ultimate fighting force.

Don't be fooled by its seemingly low stats on paper; this thing's damage output and tankiness are ridiculously high, making it a case of performance exceeding its numbers.

Moreover, this is the world of Faiz, and from a metaphysical perspective, Faiz should have a power boost.

The next day.

One night after Jiang Yang released the news, an uninvited guest arrived at the hotel where Jiang Yang was staying.

"Mr. Jiang Yang, our president wishes to see you. Please come with me."

The president's secretary drove up and blocked the hotel entrance, and no one knows how long they waited.

"If he wants to see me, let him come by himself."

Are you kidding me? Who would dare go to your headquarters at this time? This is no joke.

"Oh dear~, I hope Mr. Jiang Yang can cooperate, otherwise, the president will be very unhappy."

Jiang Yang's hands were itching again. He'd long disliked this guy; he was heavily made up like a vixen, and his tone of voice was incredibly unpleasant.

If it weren't for the uncertainty about whether this thing was human or an Orphnoch, Jiang Yang would have already scattered her ashes.

Wait, it seems this guy has a storyline where he transforms into the form of Truth in Lost Paradise, which means he's not human?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang quickly raised his hand and slapped him.

"You talk too much nonsense. I've been annoyed with you for a long time. If you say one more word, I'll beat you up."

After Jiang Yang finished speaking, he ignored the murderous look in the other person's eyes and prepared to leave.

But two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"You'd better cooperate. After these two days of investigation, we've learned about your fighting style. If you don't want to suffer, just obey us."

It seems that the slap just now broke the other person's defenses, and now they don't even bother to clench their fists anymore.

Do you understand combat methods?

Jiang Yang said, "You know nothing about power."

"I reject."

"Tsk, let's do it."

Upon hearing the order, those two guys actually transformed right there on the street, regardless of the crowd. Were they really that undisguised?

However, upon looking at one of the Orphnochs, Jiang Yang recognized him.

Orphnoch the Spider, Aki Sawada.

Alright, alright. I was just thinking about how to weaken Murakami Kyoji's remaining forces, but you delivered yourself right to my doorstep. So don't blame me.

He pulled out the Sengoku Driver, jumped into the hotel, transformed, and then stood up again.

When Gaim transforms or changes Lockseed, he briefly reverts to his base form. In this state, his defense is very weak. In fact, Gaim has been ambushed before.

Jiang Yang couldn't let that happen to him.

After transforming, Jiang Yang, believing that the first move in a duel would be more advantageous, threw the Great Orange Pill and grabbed his Peerless Military Blade, charging forward at the same time.

Regarding his increasing ease in throwing the orange pill, Jiang Yang said that he had gotten used to it. Holding the orange pill in his hand always felt a bit off, and only after throwing it did Jiang Yang feel that it made sense.

Habits are truly terrifying things.

But to Jiang Yang's surprise, the Great Orange Ball didn't hit. It seemed that the opponent was prepared. Goodness, all that talk about understanding your own fighting style was just about liking to throw Great Orange Balls?

You don't actually think throwing the giant orange pill will increase my fighting power, do you?

Hey, hey, hey, does anyone really think that Den-O throwing train tickets during his ultimate attack increases its power?

Aside from Jiang Yang himself in the past, he really didn't expect that anyone would have such a thought.

I used to imagine Den-O throwing away his train ticket and having it transform into energy to enhance his ultimate attack, but after watching a couple more episodes, I realized that the ticket was simply given away for free (by being thrown away).
