The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

What we really need to face is the entire human society's rejection of ghouls.

The first to be affected are those like the Shuu family, who rely on fighting ghouls to gain huge political power.

You said live in peace? What's the difference between that and digging up their roots?

There's no way he would agree to this!

Transformation is not impossible, but wouldn’t it be better not to transform?

"More importantly, what stands between humans and ghouls is the chasm of hatred."

This is the most troublesome problem and the one that needs to be solved the most.

How many people have died because of ghouls, how many ghouls have been killed by investigators, and how many ghouls have killed each other...

It's not impossible to let go of hatred, but why should we let go first? And how should we settle the previous hatred?

All in all, if you really count it, it's a terrible deal.

"If these things are not resolved, the so-called peace will be nothing more than a fantasy. Only a small disturbance is enough to break that hypocritical dream."

"And what this world lacks the least is all kinds of fanatical racists... and extreme revenge ghosts."

Lin Qiao said with emotion that there are not many people in this world like Kaneki Ken who can give up the hatred between each other.

It would be better to say an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. This mentality of revenge is more in line with the state of most people in this world.

"So, is this also the reason why Mr. Ishimori (brother) wants to find Mr. Tsukiyama?"

Looking at Lin Qiao looking out the window, the two people, one adult and one child, who were listening seemed to remember something.

If it was due to some coincidence that Lin Qiao found out that the cause of his parents' death was related to Yue Shan Xi, then everything he did would make sense.

And his power and information about Amazon are most likely related to this.

But even though his parents died because of ghouls, he was still able to look at the relationship between ghouls and humans quite objectively, and even analyze the problems therein.

He really made me cry to death.

At this moment, in the eyes of both of them, Lin Qiao's figure was extremely brilliant.

"?"

Lin Qiao, who had no idea that she was being attacked by the death setting again, was completely confused.

"Brother..." Fueguchi Hinami leaned her head on Lin Qiao's shoulder and then hugged Lin Qiao's arm.

"Um, Mr. Ishimori... I'm sorry, I haven't really thought about things that are too far ahead."

He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Honestly, I'm just an ordinary person, and things that sound great when you hear them..."

"You can't do this, Kaneki." Hearing the other party's tone, which sounded very listless, Lin Qiao shook her head.

“Even though you think you are just an ordinary person, your ordinariness is based on the huge number of human beings. When you step out of this circle, you will find your own specialness.”

"Eh? What do you mean by special place?"

"You've been to school... Don't be discouraged yet, just listen to me."

After comforting the dispirited Kaneki Ken, Lin Qiao continued.

"There is a saying that knowledge is power. This may seem like a very common thing to you, but among ghouls, those who have the opportunity to receive education, and even systematic education, are rare."

"Even though Dong Xiang borrowed the manager's connections, she still went straight to high school. Because she had no foundation before, her grades were terrible... Just look at her scores in this monthly exam. She got all A's on the multiple-choice questions, which was better than her own."

Boom!

The sound of hammering the wall was heard from a little further away, startling Kaneki Ken and Hinami.

"Come back to your senses. Now you know how special you are, right?"

To put it bluntly, apart from people like Tsukiyama Shuu who came in with a silver spoon in their mouth, people like him and Nishio Nishiki who have been to college are already the most educated among the ghouls.

"Powerful force can certainly destroy everything in front of it, but if you want to rebuild the ruins, you can only rely on knowledge."

"At least for you, instead of trying every possible way to increase your strength, it is better to continue learning and broaden your horizons... Read more about history, and maybe you can find the answers you want from the footprints left by your ancestors."

History...it feels like it's actually possible.

Even though the things Lin Qiao talked about seemed a little too far away to him, if he just read the book, then there would be no problem.

I gained a little more confidence and took a sip of the coffee in front of me.

"!"

In an instant, Kaneki Ken's eyes widened.

Ah, familiar texture, familiar taste, and... familiar feeling of ascension!

Chapter 48 Combat Training

Maybe he has done something unspeakable.

Following Fueguchi Ryoko, in less than a week, another yellow-haired waiter with an arrogant look and who acted as if everyone owed him money appeared in the coffee shop.

Thanks to this, the sales revenue, which had skyrocketed due to the joining of Fueguchi Ryoko, also experienced a dive.

Honestly, Lin Qiao felt that if she were in Fangcun Gongshan's position, not to mention this month's salary, she would already be showing mercy by not asking Xiwei Jin to pay and take out a loan to go to work.

I hope the coffee shop can pay its wages this month.

But getting back to the point, although I am a little curious about the month-end loss in Anding District, it is better to let the parties involved deal with it themselves.

He is very busy now.

In the basement, the blue-haired girl who used to be so arrogant had a flushed face and was panting heavily. Her slightly frail body was tightly pressed against the man's body, and her legs were wrapped around the man's strong waist. She was like a limp octopus, sticking to the man's body...

"Ahhhh! Stop talking like that!"

Under Lin Qiao's verbal attack, Kirishima Touka, who was severely traumatized, ran away from Lin Qiao with a blushing face.

Why can this guy say such shameful words with a straight face?

Sifang Lianshi, who was wearing a black windbreaker, looked at the scene here expressionlessly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Even Fueguchi Ryoko and Irimi Xuan, who were not far away, had extremely helpless expressions, as if "Great God, please withdraw your magical powers" was written on their faces.

This is an underground space opened up below the Anding District. The spacious space inside is even larger than the coffee shop itself. You can faintly hear echoes when you talk, making it perfect for daily training.

Lin Qiaoke had never forgotten her weaknesses, so when she felt that she had almost reached a good impression with everyone in the coffee shop, she took the opportunity to ask for special training.

The store manager agreed to this. It just so happened that he also needed to help Fueguchi Ryoko become proficient in using her kagune and ensure that the widow had at least the ability to protect herself, so having one more person wouldn't make much difference.

The prerequisite is that he is not allowed to transform or use weapons... otherwise the person he is practicing with will easily die on the spot.

He had no objection to this, and it could be said that he had intended to play in person from the beginning.

It's just that something unexpected happened halfway through...

"What? You want to beat this guy up, right? I haven't settled the score with him for the last time, so it's a good idea to take me with you!"

It just so happened that a certain blue-haired stinky girl who loved to act cool had a day off today, and she was also holding a grudge because she had failed miserably in the last monthly exam and became a laughing stock.

After hearing that Lin Qiao was planning to train, she threw her apron on the table and walked into the basement of the coffee shop.

"...You must be taking this opportunity to take revenge."

"Stop talking nonsense. Now that you know the answer, just be prepared to get beaten!"

Although Dong Xiang is undoubtedly the youngest among all the fighters in the coffee shop, her fighting experience is far from that of Lin Qiao, a flower that grew up in a greenhouse.

Especially after losing the all-round physical advantage of transformation.

Needless to say, the result was that Lin Qiao was defeated N times in a row.

Compared to the harmonious and friendly atmosphere on Irumi Xuan and Fueguchi Ryoko's side, their side was simply tragic... He was unilaterally miserable.

In the first round, Dong Xiang punched him in the chest, and when he was defending himself, he kicked him out.

In the second round, he focused too much on defense and was tricked by Dong Xiang who deliberately exposed his flaws. After being kicked from below, he lost his balance briefly, and then he launched a series of Ora combos.

In the third round, he used wild and powerful moves, but was caught at a flaw and punched away.

In the fourth round, his lower body was unstable, and he fell to the ground and was kicked away.

The fifth round, lost...

In the sixth round, they lost again...

In the seventh round, he lost again...

......

The Nth round, the one just now, was also the one closest to victory.

Everything was going well at the beginning, with both sides fighting back and forth, but unfortunately, the opponent got behind and choked them in the end.

"Aren't you going to continue?"

After the end of the high-intensity training battle for more than an hour, Dong Xiang immediately announced that he was exhausted and found a place to stop.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore... Five minutes, let me rest for five minutes..." He lay on the ground and gasped for breath without caring about his image. With one trembling hand, he picked up the coffee next to him to replenish his water.

She was quite happy when she was bullying the weak ones at the beginning, but the more the fight went on, the more tortured she felt.

From easily defeating her in just a few moves, to fighting for more than ten minutes without losing the upper hand, and then to later, without using the kagune, he could only win by a surprise and narrow margin.

Even though she didn't try her best because it was just a competition...but her learning speed is still a bit outrageous!

"Besides, aren't you tired?"

This is very puzzling. After such a long time, I am exhausted, but looking at Lin Qiao, apart from a few tears in her clothes and a bit dishevelled appearance, she doesn't feel any discomfort at all. She even seems to be enjoying it towards the end.

Is this reasonable? ?

"So why are you being so pretentious? I'm the one being used as a punching bag for a long time, okay?"

After glancing at Kirishima Touka who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Qiao lowered his head to look at the wounds on his body.

There were mainly some abrasions and scratches caused by fingernails, which were not serious and had basically healed. His regenerative ability was not as good as that of a ghoul, but his ability to withstand blows was much stronger.

"By the way, the five minutes are up, hurry up and get up and continue practicing."

"No, I really can't do it... You should go find Mr. Sifang..."

She pushed Lin Qiao back to Sifang Lianshi, who was supposed to train her. Rather than continue to be tortured, she just wanted to take a hot bath.

"Ah, then leave it to me from now on."

Sifang Lianshi's voice was very calm. When Lin Qiao and Dong Xiang were fighting, he was not idle. Instead, he was silently observing Lin Qiao's condition. At least he had a certain understanding of his ability to withstand beatings.

After taking off their black windbreakers, the two men stood at a distance and got into position.

With the experience of fighting with Touka before, although it is hard to say how much effect it will have against Shifang Renshi, it should not be to the point where he can't even fight back.

"Then I'm going to go."

Lin Qiao chose to attack first. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he threw a straight punch. There was no unnecessary movement, just a simple punch, but at an incredibly fast speed.

In response to this, Sifang Lianshi reacted very quickly. Being experienced, he punched directly at the inside of Lin Qiao's arm, and then dodged Lin Qiao's whip kick by turning sideways.

"The speed and strength are good, but the attack intention is too obvious. Once someone sees through it, it is easy to dodge it, and you will fall into someone else's trap."

This time, Sifang Lianshi did not choose to defend. He raised his right arm and punched Lin Qiao in the abdomen, but he dodged it. Compared with that fist with gusts of wind, Dong Xiang's previous strength could be called gentle.

Before Lin Qiao could fight back, Sifang Lianshi hit him with an Iron Mountain Kick, sending him flying five or six meters away.

"When dodging, the body's amplitude is too large, which will affect the overall movement. Also, don't attack too directly. You must learn to change your moves, and learn to respond to the enemy's changes in moves."

"Well, I've really learned a lesson." He got up from the ground and stretched his arms.

After a few rounds, even though Sifang Lianshi had shown mercy, Lin Qiao was still grimacing in pain.

"How? Can we continue?"
