Chapter 11: What is a warrior
It seems like any common riffraff is able to become a knight these days. Ultraman shook his head. His voice sounded low and muffled as it passed through his mask before coming out. His two fingers that were enclosed in a leather glove had firmly intercepted the long sword that tried to stab him.
Riffraff!? The lofty knight who had just thrust the tip of the sword forward felt a few seemingly sinister veins pop out on his head. From the time he entered college all the way to his preliminary evaluation he had believed that he was second to nobody. It was even to the point that the introductory knights that were one rank higher than him didnt dare to be arrogant in front of him there wasnt much to say about the probation knights that were on the same level as he was. The praises that his tutor heaped on him and the respect his peers showed caused his proud and arrogant temperament to be even more condescending. It was so much so that he felt his lofty position was second only to the radiant knight.
How can someone like myself allow the existence of this guy in front of me? A guy who dared to provoke and vilify my talent? Whats more the other party is just a despicable outcast! The difference between our positions is like heaven and earth!
Whats with this strength? Did you not have breakfast? There just happens to be a noodle restaurant here do you need me to wait for you? Ji Bai who was inside the costume raised his eyebrow. His tone seemed to carry traces of ridicule in them.
The three knights who were looking at the scene on the side were completely astonished by the development that was happening thus far. It was especially so for the other two knights they were so astonished that their jaws were about to fall to the floor.
Cullen someone who had the highest potential of claiming the Newcomer Knight throne had actually been defeated? Hes being toyed to the point that he lacks the power to retaliate! Whats more it was by a mere commoner that just jumped out of the woodwork! Was he afraid that it might be fatal and not utilize his full strength? This makes more sense As a knight the aftermath of killing a commoner on the street is rather unpleasant.
Mm-hmm so hes fighting using his oratory skills now? Anyone is capable of doing that.
In the knights precepts and the section 364 of the knights creed; A knight that trespassed into a citizens property without providing a knights warrant is treated as a citizen and can be handled accordingly. Gratuitous destruction of a citizens assets and actions such as extortion intimidation threats and coercion will be punished severely without exception and clemency.
Y-You The short-haired knight was immediately dumb-struck. His plan to bring up some self-beneficial clauses to intimidate the other party had completely fallen short. It seemed that the other party was more knowledgeable about the laws than himself who was just wantonly reciting clauses to make it sound numerous and show off.
Youre too naive! To recite and use the knights creed against me? You should have taken a closer look at the stuff and find out who its creator is!
Also let me correct you on one point. Those clauses you were reciting earlier were intended to protect warriors And what is a warrior? It is a vessel for a truly sincere heart whose sole purpose is to efficiently protect and carry out a massacre. For the sake of exacting righteousness they would muddy their blade with the fresh blood of demons. People like these are bonafide warriors and are the truest epitome of a knight.
Have any of you ever killed a demon before? From what I can see you dont even know what a demon looks like.
As he looked at the Ultraman before him spewing out meaningful and heartfelt words the short-haired knight was stunned.
To garner self-confidence and superiority from bullying the average citizens abusing your power and doing whatever you please because your privilege is higher than others Does your actions suit that of a warrior? No Ji Bai shook his head. These actions just prove that all of you are failures as humans.
Clap. Clap. Clap The sound of a rhythmic clapping noise slowly arrived from a distant place.
Well said. A calm and heavy voice could be heard.
Ji Bai slightly knitted his eyebrows inside his costume and shifted his vision towards the source of the sound.
