Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 382 Newcomers, Sengoku Driver

"God's Eternal Mentor!"

Upon noticing Xia Chuan's figure, the clueless newcomers in front of the training hall hurriedly and awkwardly crowded forward, their eyes clear yet foolish, clearly showing that they hadn't experienced much of the harsh realities of life.

Including Emu Hojo, only a few who have experienced the trials of game dungeons are considered to be doing well.

As for the girl with bangs, it's hard to comment.

They were all at the age of high school students, a time when they had high aspirations but little experience.

In other words, it's a lot of trouble.

After Kondo Isami was hospitalized, he was supposed to be taught by Shima Noboru, who was his immortal biological tool. However, a few days ago, Shima Noboru suddenly said that he had some insights and left the school without permission after leaving a letter.

They said they wanted to travel all over the world to practice Buddhism.

"Isn't the school planning to recruit new teachers?" Natsukawa asked Tamura, turning around.

The thought of the mess Shimao would leave behind gave him a headache.

Besides the new students, there is also a group of older students who have not yet graduated, especially many from Kondo Isami's Class B.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Everything was piled on him. Helping him out occasionally was fine, but acting as a babysitter was going too far.

"Recruitment has already begun, but the personnel transfer will take some time."

Tamura looked slightly embarrassed.

If Shimaichi hadn't suddenly left, I wouldn't have known how important he was.

Over the years, the Knight School has evolved from an empty shell serving as a transitional facility for new knights into the largest comprehensive knight training center in the island nation.

Island Rising had taken over almost all of the teaching duties for the new recruits, which meant he devoted all his energy to the Skynet Center and the Superpower Class, leaving him with far less attention for the new recruits.

"But speaking of which," Tamura glanced at Natsukawa, who was equally incompetent, "you should know this place better than I do, so why didn't you give feedback sooner when you had problems?"

"Let's talk about the Knight System."

Xia Chuan walked up the steps amidst the curious gazes of the newlyweds and got straight to the point.

"I believe everyone has already experienced being a knight in previous game instances, some even following along to the final battle. Now, how does it feel to lose your power?"

Several gamers in the crowd refused to lower their heads, while only the girl with bangs, who had also lost her transformation ability, craned her neck to meet Xia Chuan's gaze, with an expression that showed she was not willing to admit defeat.

"It's all that Parad's fault, otherwise I could definitely have become the true legendary knight Chronos!"

"..."

Xia Chuan ignored the girl and continued speaking.

"Not becoming a game knight may not be a bad thing. Only a knight system that suits you can go further. The compensation provided by the league this time can be said to be a rare opportunity. Many veteran knights did not have this opportunity."

"Mentor Shenyong," a chubby boy asked anxiously, "which is the most powerful knight system right now? I heard that Dark Kiva possesses the power to destroy the world..."

"Idiot," the bespectacled boy next to him rolled his eyes, "Have you ever seen a second Dark Kiva? That thing isn't a Rider System that humans can use at all. Let alone Dark Kiva, Kiva right now only has Watari-senpai transforming into it."

"What about W? If the two of them transform, they can directly level up."

"You said it yourself that it's a transformation between two people, and finding a compatible partner is too difficult. So far, only Mentor Kaminaga and Investigator Asami have successfully transformed."

"RX..."

"Do you think you're Mr. Kotaro?" The bespectacled boy raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at the chubby classmate whose face was flushed red. "You should know your place."

"And what about you?" the chubby boy roared, embarrassed and annoyed. "What are you going to choose?"

The bespectacled boy pushed up his glasses, a glint of wisdom in his eyes: "I want to choose Kondo's Rider System. Based on my comprehensive analysis of the data I've collected, 'Lance' doesn't seem to have very high requirements for the user. My second choice is Fujiwara-senpai's 'Royal Bee,' because speed-type Riders will never go out of style."

The bespectacled boy looked expectantly at Xia Chuan as he spoke.

His specialty is data analysis, and he was originally going to become a student of Xia Chuan.

Although it's often said that "Mentor Kaminari" likes to slack off, a little research reveals the terrifying speed at which the first batch of Class A students progressed.

Apart from a few who have disappeared, the others are generally level 4 or 5.

One or two could be attributed to students who happen to have talent, but so many is no coincidence.

None of the knights who chose Class B at the same time were level 4 knights.

Can this still be called slacking off?

"What does Master Shen Yong think?" the bespectacled boy asked nervously.

"Forget about the spear, the Royal Bee is definitely a good choice."

Xia Chuan stopped talking.

Where did this kid get the idea that the requirements for a "long spear" are not high?

The Sword Riders have a separate fusion coefficient; if the value is not high enough, they cannot transform and may even suffer serious injuries.

Moreover, the transformation is not without its risks; if one's willpower is insufficient, one can easily suffer a backlash.

Kondo Isami... can only be considered an exception; he was probably naturally more suited to the "spear."

When the Shimura Team was first formed, Kondo Isami wasn't as incompetent as he is now. He was even known as the "Ruthless Gun God," and after each battle, he would give a death sentence to the monster with a blank expression.

"But choosing a royal bee isn't that easy, is it?" the chubby boy said worriedly. "There was someone whose insect instrument ran away because the fusion rate was too low."

The transformation in the Kabuto series mainly relies on the Insect Device; without it, the character is useless.

Unfortunately, all those insect-controlling devices possessed their own will.

It's fine if you can't summon it, but the worst thing is if you summon it and it ends up on the opponent's side.

"That depends on yourselves," Xia Chuan said calmly.

The Kamen Rider system is too closely linked to the power of monsters, so there are bound to be risks involved to some extent.

At least the Kabuto system won't endanger your life, unlike other systems that are prone to backlash.

I won't go into detail about Kuuga, but Ryota Murai's Kuuga is the best example.

Sword users need to be careful of undead creatures sealed by cards, Dragon Rider users need to avoid being eaten by monsters from the Contract Mirror, Faiz users need to transform and have significant side effects, Hibiki might turn into a real demon, and Witch Riders also need to worry about the backlash from the Phantom Demon...

Others, more or less, all have their share of troubles.

From a safety perspective, the best choice is undoubtedly the Desire Driver series from "Kikou no Kou" (Kikou no Kou) and the "W" series is also relatively normal. In addition, there is the Sengoku Driver from "Gaim" this time. I don't recall any side effects. At least these newcomers don't reach the level of causing side effects.

"If you don't know how to choose," Natsukawa said, calming his thoughts, "choose the new generation driver developed by the alliance this time. Mass-produced belts don't mean they're inferior; the specific choice is up to the user."

The students below were all disappointed.

The Desire Driver is also a mass-produced belt, and its popularity is no less than that of the Magic Driver, but only 3 people have actually managed to get out of it.

One is the mentor in front of me, another is the bull-riding Taoist priest Agasa, and the third is the former frog knight Goto.

It looks pretty good, but the mentor is now focused on W, the bull seems to have fused with the power of the game knight, and Goto has been directly replaced by the game knight "Brave".

Not to mention that Desire Drive requires powerful tools to unleash its combat power.

Where do a group of newbies get powerful items?

"The mentor is right, the new driver is definitely a good choice."

The bespectacled boy's eyes lit up with a strange light, feeling that he understood Xia Chuan's true thoughts.

"The Advanced Knight System is difficult to bind, making it virtually impossible for the average person to become a Level 4 Knight. The Ordinary Knight System is much easier to upgrade, although its upper limit is very low, becoming increasingly difficult as you go higher. However, our potential to break through the limits far exceeds that of the Advanced Knight System."

"At worst, we can just replace the second knight system later, or fuse it with other powers like the Overlord Bull..."

Xia Chuan glanced at the bespectacled boy who was talking eloquently.

The analysis makes some sense, but when did he say that the Sengoku Driver was ordinary?

The starting rank of the Riders in "Gaim" is much higher than that in "Ghost Hunt," and the Lockseed, which is used as a transformation item, is also easier to obtain.

All the fruits in Heim Forest can be turned into items, and you can have as many as you want.

"Well said, young man! Mass-produced drivers are designed for newcomers!"

Suddenly, a voice of admiration rang out from behind. A group of researchers, led by him, came to the front of the newcomers, each carrying a silver briefcase.

Natsukawa scanned the area with his telekinesis and discovered that they were all mass-produced Sengoku Drivers, along with matching basic transformation locks.

The pinecone lock seed used to transform into the mass-produced Kamen Rider "Sketch".

Unlike the A-rank and S-rank Lockseeds used by the main characters in "Gaim", Pinecones are only C-rank and are used by the special unit Shadow Guard in "Gaim".

It's not as good as other knight systems, but it's perfect as a beginner's set.
