update icon Updated at 2023/1/26 18:29:40

"These days, it's true that any kind of scum is able to become a knight."The 'Ultraman' shook his head, a rough and low voice coming through the leather cover, two fingers wrapped in leather gloves blocked the oncoming hand-and-a half sword heavily .

"Scum!?" After listening to what the ‘Ultraman’ said disdainfully before, the tall knight forced the tip of the sword forward with great efforts, some hideous veins burst out of his head currently. From entering the academy to passing the first examination, the tall knight thought he was invincible in the world, not to mention the freshmen of the same class. Even the entry-ranked knight who was one class higher than him did not dare to fight against him. His mentors praised him, and his peers revered him, which made the tall knight pompous. Besides, his haughty personality made him even more arrogant, which made him feel like that he was the second the 'Heavenly Glory Knight', more powerful and invincible. Even sometimes, he thought he was a knight with the most superior status and the most powerful among all knights.

How can such a person allow himself to be challenged and denigrated his talent by someone in front of him?

Moreover, the other party was just a lowly pariah, and his status was different from his!

"Is that all the strength you have? Is it because you didn’t eat breakfast? There is a noodle shop here, do you need me to wait for you?" Ji Bai, inside the Ultraman’s holster, said to the tall knight playfully and sardonically and raised his eyebrows naturally.

The remaining three people who saw this scene next to him were completely shocked at the sight, especially the other two knights, whose jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock.

Karen, the one who has the most potential to ascend to the throne of the newcomer knight king, he was actually defeated, which made everyone present unbelievable. It is incredible that Karen was defeated without any chance to fight back against this lowly pariah in front of him. It is even more exaggerated that Karen failed at the hands of a random old citizen who jumped out. Did he not use his full strength because he was worried about killing someone or something? Indeed, as a knight, it is inappropriate to kill an ordinary citizen in the street, which will give an terrible impression on the citizens.

"...... Bastard! You are a despicable bitch!" Karen’s face went from red to purple, and his hands began to shake as he clenched the hilt of the sword, not knowing whether he had tried too hard or whether he felt shameful for being seen his failure by his peers.

Karen's lungs were about to explode with anger, so he had already exerted all his strength. However, the sword in his hand did not move at all. What about this Ultraman in front of him? At this moment, the Ultraman’s two fingers were holding the head of the sword all the way as if a mountain were standing here steadily, and his body was not even swaying a bit. On the contrary, Karen held an emotional pig-liver-like face, which made Karen feel extremely shameful as if he were executed publicly.

“Damn, I want you to die!!! “ Karen shouted angrily, gritting his teeth, clicking his eyes, and staring at the Ultraman in front of him., Suddenly, Karen abandoned the hilt of his sword and pulled out a shiny silver dagger from his knight's gown. When the Ultraman was caught off guard, Karen stabbed his abdomen viciously.

"Toussaint." ‘Ultraman’ had moved and paid attention to subtle action as soon as Karen had let go of the hilt of the sword. Look, ‘Ultraman’ was clenching his hand-half sword to attack Karen as if a hammer came down suddenly and fast. Just grabbing the dagger and being about to stab ‘Ultraman’, Karen stopped suddenly , a stream of scarlet sweat running down his forehead. He rolled his eyes and was stunned by the hilt of his sword, passing out in shock.

"Karen!" The short-haired knight was now completely overwhelmed, his previous majestic eyes vanished without a trace, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and disorientation.

"Don't worry. He just past out. But I can't guarantee if there are any after-effects. Anyway, I can still let him live the rest of his life peacefully, after all, I'm not a devil."

"You! ...... Who gave you the guts? Do you know who we are?!" Seeing Ultraman walking slowly with a hand-half sword stained with blood, the short-haired knight immediately began to be frightened.” Although Karen was powerful, he was abused and defeated by the ‘Ultraman’., If I take steps forward and fight against Ultraman on my own, I must be dead.” The short-haired knight thought in his heart with great fear. No matter what happened, as a knight, the short-haired knight still disguised himself as a strong one to maintain the reputation of the knights.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Ji Bai, inside the Ultraman’s holster, covered his mouth slightly, because he had heard so many similar answers that. his ears were getting calloused. And these so-called answers just express a central idea of 'there is influential someone behind me and it’s impossible for a mediocre commoner to hurt me'.

"We are members of the Knights of Splendor! We are the direct subordinates of Knight of Heavenly Glory! Do you know what you're doing now?" The short-haired knight growled. Like a dying dog barking, even if the short-haired knight knew that he was in danger and might be dead this time, he spoke with great sense of pride and superiority.

"What am I doing? Obviously, I am fighting against hooligans and local ruffians, contributing to the early realization of an all-round well-off society and the eight policy guidelines of the association.( Here’the early realization of an all-round well-off society and the eight policy guidelines of the association’ means that people can live a better life and seek more spiritual wealth than just material wealth by implementing these policies and taking them into actions.) Ji Bai fiddled with his sword carelessly.

"You ...........! According to Article 32 of the Knight's Rights Act, if someone uses innocent words to humiliate knights, trainee knights, and any warriors with the titles of knights, knights will have the right to kill him! According to Article 46 of the Knight's Rights Act, those who strike and hurt a knight for no reason will be killed without pardon!"

“Who can’t recite these articles of laws? There's no way you're going to be able to compete with me” Ji Bai thought in his heart.

" According to the Knight's Commandments and Chapter 364 of the Knight's Creed, any knight who trespasses on a citizen's property without a knight's order is to be treated as an ordinary citizen, and any citizen who destroys property with the acts of extortion, threat , intimidation and coercion of citizens without cause is to be punished severely and without mercy."

"You ......" The short-haired knight was dumbfounded for a while, trying to find some beneficial legal provisions to intimidate the other side but completely failed. Obviously, the other side looked more knowledgeable about these articles of laws than himself, who casually recited the provisions as a pretender.

“There's no way you're going to be able to compete with me by reciting the Knights' Creed. You know, these articles of laws are made by me.” Ji Bai thought disdainfully.

"By the way, let me correct you, those entries you recited are for warriors. What is a warrior? The people who have a sincere heart, who only kill for the better protection, who have the blood of the demon species on their swords because of justice, they, are the true warriors, the purest of knights."

"You guys, have you ever killed a demon species? I think you guys don't even know what the demon species look like."

Looking at the Ultraman who spoke strictly in front of him, the short-haired knight froze for a while.

"Bullying civilians to find confidence and superiority? Abuse your power to do whatever you want from the vantage point of the power? Do you deserve to be called a warrior? No. ......" Ji Bai shook his head. "Let alone being a knight, it will take great effort and much time to learn to be a good human."

"Slap ....." The sound of applause came slowly from far to near.

"Well said." A thick and steady voice came.

Ji Bai , inside the Ultraman’s holster, frowned slightly, his eyes turned to the source of the sound.
