"At least I fought."
"what?"
Kiryu Sento paused for a moment, looked at Genji, and then said with a wry smile:
"I'm different from you, Gensou. You're so strong..."
"When I fought those monsters, I wasn't very strong; I had only been transforming for less than a month."
"........."
Upon hearing this, Kiryu Sento immediately froze, then, as if unable to accept it, subconsciously pointed to the spot where they had been ganged up on, and said in a low voice:
"Are these... these battles things you've experienced before?"
"Ah."
Yuanxiang nodded and readily admitted:
"What you experienced, in terms of both intensity and timing, is the same as mine. Actually, after you finished that brawl, it was my turn to step in and give you psychological counseling instead of my grandpa. But it was just psychological counseling; don't expect me to fight for you."
"How...did you win?"
Kiryu Sento, still pointing to the spot where the group had been attacked, said in an incredulous voice:
"I can't think of a way to break this deadlock."
"Don't be afraid to die."
Gensho thought back for a moment, recalling the state of mind he should have had at that time, based on the description in his records found in the Earth Library, and answered softly:
"Abandon reason and fight like a mad dog; maybe you can win the gamble."
"Maybe?"
"Hmm, maybe."
Genji nodded, listening to Kiryu Sento's incomprehensible gaze, and said:
"If time could turn back, I still wouldn't be confident that I could have won that battle in that condition, so it's just a possibility."
"This is really...this is really..."
Seeing Gengo's calm expression, Kiryu Sento tried to find an adjective to describe it, but he was at a loss for words. Then, he patted his cheeks and looked at Gengo, saying:
"Come on, let's try again, let me give it a shot."
"it is good."
Gensou nodded and disappeared from Kiryu Sento's sight, restoring the old Fuuto to its former glory. After some time, the city vanished again. The boy looked at the defeated Kiryu Sento, at his almost dismembered body, and said nothing more. The trial was over. Kiryu Sento had already fainted; it seemed that such a scene was still too stimulating for him.
"Waaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!"
The moment the illusion completely dissipated, Kiryu Sento suddenly jumped out of bed and screamed in uncontrollable terror. Ishidou Souichi and Ishidou Misora immediately woke up and rushed over to comfort the truly frightened young man.
"I said, what exactly did you do to Sento?!"
Seeing that Kiryu Sento had calmed down a bit, Isurugi Misora immediately followed her father's gaze and looked disapprovingly at Gengo, who was floating to the side and hadn't said a word the whole time. The boy calmly wrote his reply on a piece of paper:
"This is a necessary trial, a path every warrior must take. If one cannot overcome the fear of battle, then it is only a matter of time before the War Rabbit dies at the hands of the enemy. In that case, let's make him fall into my hands now. No matter what, at least we can save his life."
"you....."
“Source…Source Village…”
Hearing this answer, Misora Ishidou understood the reasoning, but her sympathy for Sento Kiryu still made her instinctively want to retort. At that moment, Sento Kiryu, whose hands and feet were still trembling, pulled Misora back, looked at Gengo, and whispered:
"How...did you get through it?"
"To be honest, I've never experienced anything like what you're going through."
Yuanxiang thought for a moment and said sincerely:
"Because I don't have time to be afraid or dreadful. I am the Kamen Rider of Fuuto. I won't think about these issues until I truly protect that city. And then... by the time I have some free time, I'll have already gotten used to death."
438 The Vanished Unknown Life Form
"...Just because you're a Kamen Rider?"
Although it sounded like he was putting on an act, Kiryu Sento clearly sensed the seriousness in Gengo's tone. After a moment of silence, he asked softly:
"Just for such a simple reason?"
"Add a qualifier: Kamen Rider from Fuuto."
"What's the difference?"
"Of course, my belief lies here."
Gengo looked at the newly born Kamen Rider in front of him and said gently:
"War Rabbit, fighting requires conviction. With conviction, you can forge ahead and even win every battle. This is what you should truly possess, and its importance far surpasses anything else, including the basic power of fighting."
"why?"
Kiryu Sento was somewhat bewildered. He had experienced what Genji had gone through, and he couldn't understand why, without anyone's assistance or the ability to develop new items, he would fight so desperately with just a little bit of 'beginner equipment'. It was simply incomprehensible.
"If you just have power, you can easily defeat the enemy, right? Is something like belief really as important as you say?"
"Wait a minute!!!"
Just then, Misora Ishidou suddenly interrupted their conversation, pointing to herself and saying:
"Come on, possess me first."
"Misora?"
This request caught even Genjiro off guard, let alone Isurugi Sōichi and Kiryu Sento. He was momentarily stunned. Meanwhile, Isurugi Misora stated matter-of-factly:
"Don't you guys think this is going a bit too far? I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. How am I supposed to stand this? Anyway, I don't think Yuanxiang is a bad person. Fine, at least let me know what you're saying!"
"this......"
Gengo glanced silently at Isadora Souichi. After obtaining his father's consent, the boy attached himself to Isadora Misora and immediately broke free. However, this was enough for Isadora Misora to see him.
"Hey, is there something wrong with my eyes, or what's going on?"
Misora Ishidou rubbed her eyes and said in a subtle tone:
Why is Yuanxiang so blurry in my eyes?
"It's very simple. In our eyes, Gensou is like that too, probably because he is a ghost."
Kiryu Sento shrugged, answering helplessly, then composed himself and looked back at Genji, awaiting his reply.
"It's very simple. If it's just about power, there are far too many ways we can obtain it."
Yuanxiang coughed and said softly:
"But in the process of gaining power, can we do whatever we want?"
"That won't do!"
Without hesitation, Kiryu Sento immediately retorted:
"I would never do such a thing!"
"This is your belief."
Gengo smiled and looked at Kiryu Sento, saying:
"War Rabbit, I understand your thoughts. You feel that you have lost your past memories, so you feel like a blank slate. Before you regain your memories, you have no right to discuss so-called beliefs. That's wrong. Everyone has the right and reason to argue about this. Only by having beliefs can we avoid getting lost on the path of pursuing power. Only by having beliefs can we prevent heroes from turning into evil dragons. These are the shackles we willingly put on ourselves. These shackles allow us to have the courage to walk with demons even when we are walking in hell!"
"I......"
Kiryu Sento's expression was somewhat complicated. He glanced blankly at Ishido Misora and Ishido Soichi beside him, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Gengo, saying:
"Come on, I'll continue the test!"
"No, let's leave it at that for today."
Gensou shook his head, looked at the exhausted Kiryu Sento, and said softly:
"My plan went wrong. This kind of training is indeed too intense for you. You should get a good rest tonight. As for the rest, we can talk about it after you wake up. Just eating isn't enough; you need to digest it to get the nutrients..."
"Then let me learn in my dreams."
Kiryu Sento immediately continued speaking, but before he could finish, Gengo used his telekinesis to force him into sleep.
"He won't wake up today, so you should all go and get some rest."
Gengo disagreed with Kiryu Sento's idea, for a simple reason. On one hand, he wanted Kiryu Sento's soul, which had been tormented in the cycle of reincarnation, to rest properly. On the other hand, he had high expectations for Kiryu Sento. Right now, he was just acting impulsively, his courage overriding his fear. Gengo hoped that after a good night's sleep, he would still have the same courage when he woke up.
"I'm not going to sleep."
Sōichi Ishidō smiled at Gensō and said softly:
"It's probably because my body was strengthened when I was possessed. My energy is unexpectedly high right now, so if there's anything you want to ask or investigate, Gensou, I'll help you."
Hearing this, Misora Ishidou was a little worried, but then she thought that with Gengo around, she didn't need to worry too much about her father's health. So she took her words back, went back to bed, put on her eye mask, and went straight to sleep.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Ishidou, were you the only one who went to Mars back then?"
At this moment, Gensho remembered something and curiously asked Ishidou Souichi, who immediately replied:
"No, there are three more people."
The trio who initially joined Soichi Isurugi in the "Extreme Project" to travel to Mars aboard a Mars probe were Kengo Ino, Ryoka Saiga, and Mitsuomi Gohara. After arriving on Mars, the three of them carried out different missions with Soichi Isurugi and thus went their separate ways. As a result, Soichi Isurugi had few memories of them after that.
"Do you know what they're doing right now?"
"Excuse me......"
Souichi Shidong lowered his head somewhat embarrassed. To be honest, he had only just gained his freedom and hadn't even figured out his own affairs yet, so how could he have time to care about other people's business?
"No, I went a bit too far. I didn't expect you to be in this situation."
Yuanxiang immediately apologized, then looked at the computer next to him and said softly:
"How about... we search online?"
"Will this... work?"
While saying this, Ishidou Souichi's hands were quite obedient; he turned on the computer and opened the search bar, while Gengo looked at it and said:
"After all, it's a mission to Mars, a big deal. There's no reason why there shouldn't be any news about it online... Ah..."
