Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 449 The Spirited Kondo Isami

This world.

Xia Chuan kept his clone's consciousness in sync at all times.

Whether it's good or bad, the dungeon development process of "Dynasty Warriors Build" has been delayed and turned into his exclusive dungeon, but the difficulty of the dungeon has also been greatly increased.

If things continue like this, the Blood King will definitely become part of the dungeon, and in the end, he may still be unable to avoid the Alliance.

"Let's drag this out as long as we can." Xia Chuan quickly assessed the adaptee's status.

The longer it takes, the more advantages he will gain. It would be best to drag it out until Ebert evolves into the snake-skinned monster.

If the core of the world of "Gaim Riders" is the Heim Forest, then "Rider Build" is undoubtedly Pandora's box. After obtaining the power of Ebolt, he is not afraid of even B-rank or A-rank life forms sent by the Alliance.

Unless the Alliance can directly destroy the world of Mount & Blade.

"Whoosh!"

In the unknown dark space, the red light of Pandora's Tower hangs down, and in the middle, a patient in a hospital gown has his eyes closed, with only faint breathing to sustain his life.

The suitor is in good condition; the seal has not completely isolated its life force, and it cannot harm the suitor.

Judging from the progress, it won't be long before we can fully connect to this world.

Xia Chuan then turned his perception to the Demon Pattern Ring Fighter.

Their condition is unknown, but judging from the feedback from the Magic Gem World, they should not be in any life-threatening danger.

Perhaps it was also sealed away.

After confirming that there were no major problems, Xia Chuan looked away, made some quick preparations, and headed to the main hall.

Although time flows differently on both sides, a considerable amount of time has still passed in this world.

The clock ticked, and he officially turned 39, a negligible age compared to a lifespan of ten thousand years. But what concerned him was that Judgment Day was one year less away.

"Good morning, Master Shenyong!"

"morning!"

After greeting the school staff along the way, Xia Chuan quickly arrived at the gymnasium.

Today is a special unified exam arranged by the Knights Academy. The exam venue is Skynet, and he, who had been slacking off, was dragged over by Tamura to proctor the exam.

Tamura hasn't been having a good time lately.

The Knights Academy was originally just a daycare, but as the outstanding graduates continued to perform well, the League attached more and more importance to it, and Tamura's position as principal naturally became more and more unstable.

The remnants of the Ultraman era have now completely lost their luster.

It is said that the higher-ups are preparing to carry out a major reshuffle of the school, which puts Tamura in a rather delicate position.

"Long time no see, Kaminari."

At the conference room door, Kondo Isami's familiar figure almost bumped into Natsukawa.

Kondo Isami has been riding high lately. The Alliance seems to be eyeing the Fusion Dungeon in "Gaim," not only providing him with a lot of resources but also elevating his status accordingly.

Aside from television news, Xia Chuan had never seen this guy in person.

"Weren't you with the Alliance?" Xia Chuan asked in surprise. "Why are you back?"

"Ahem," Kondo Isami cleared his throat with a triumphant air, "I'm not the same Kondo Isami I used to be. I've been appointed as the school's principal; after all, how can a fifth-level knight remain a tutor forever?"

"..."

Xia Chuan remained silent.

This guy got cocky.

"I have one more nomination spot available. If you'd like, I might consider it."

Kondo Isami's face was full of smiles. He had never felt so comfortable. His mind was so clear that he felt like he could fly to the sky.

Cool!

He had wanted to say these words to Xia Chuan for a long time, and he even rehearsed until midnight last night.

"Although we didn't get along very well before, we're still old friends. Don't worry, I won't..."

"Not interested."

Xia Chuan walked straight into the conference room, leaving Kondo Yu standing there with his mouth agape, unsure whether to say anything or not.

Most of the teachers were already present in the meeting room. Most of them were recruited later. Some were senior knights who had retired due to injury, while others were experts in related theories in the field of knighthood.

Nine years have passed since the beginning of the Knights Era. The initial feeling has faded in many aspects. The field has become more segmented, the structure has become more and more complete, and the interests involved have become more complex.

Natsukawa ignored Kondo Isami chasing after him and casually found a corner to sit down.

He didn't really care how the Knights Academy changed.

There's not much benefit to him here except for slacking off and hiding. The league's benefits are no longer commensurate with his abilities, and the knights they've trained can't help him either.

Not to mention that now that responsibilities are more clearly defined, the relationship between teachers and students has become significantly more distant, and it is the captains of the various internship teams arranged by the league who are building relationships with the students.

"How about you reconsider?" Kondo Isami sat down next to Natsukawa as if tormented, his face pleading. "If you beg me, I'll definitely agree. You've seen it yourself, the school isn't what it used to be..."

"Have you forgotten that I'm a Level 6 Knight?" Natsukawa glanced at Kondo Isami.

"Doesn't that mean you'll have to merge with Asami again?" Kondo Isami's expression changed, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of panic. "Are you going to work for the league?"

Although it looks glamorous on the surface, the pressure has been increasing over this period of time.

He knew very well that he was a fraud. If even his only acquaintance, Kaminari, left the school, how would he survive on his own in the future?

"Kaminari, I..."

"Quiet down, I just want to be a normal teacher."

Xia Chuan turned his gaze to the podium.

A representative from Foundation X, dressed in a white suit, entered the conference room accompanied by Tamura. After a brief introduction, he began arranging the list of people responsible for the unified examination.

In addition to the existing A and B classes, nearly ten more classes have been added. No wonder so many teachers have come.

"Are there so many new trainees this year?"

"you do not know?"

Kondo Isami felt temporarily relieved, and his gaze toward Natsukawa became slightly strange.

Even he, who just returned, knows this.

"Foundation X released research data showing that knights at level 5 and above not only have enhanced physical fitness but also significantly increased lifespan. As a result, not only in Tokyo but also in other regions, a large number of students have applied. These are the results after the selection process."

As he spoke, Kondo Isami sighed and shook his head.

"But if you ask me, how many knights can surpass level 5? The most crucial time-space dungeons are basically controlled by that bastard Decade, so the chances of advancing to level 6 are getting smaller and smaller. You're just lucky, kid, to have gotten such a good deal."

"Foundation X releasing data at this time... is Decade really that despicable?"

Xia Chuan frowned slightly.

The league is putting him in a very difficult position.

For ordinary knights, daily temporary dungeons are enough to improve their strength. Even if time-space dungeons were to be opened, few people would benefit, and the dungeons might even be taken over by the Alliance. This is not commensurate with the serious consequences of opening time-space dungeons.

However, not everyone can clearly understand this, especially now that there are even more compelling temptations.

Before disaster actually happens to them, most people probably won't think they are the ones who have failed, and their hatred for Decade will only grow stronger.

"You're not Decade, what are you thinking?" Kondo Yu nudged Natsukawa. "Come on, let's proctor the exam together."
