Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Chapter 785, Section 806: Sakamoto Officially Takes Office

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School is a national high school located in Tokyo, Japan.

It is known for its state-of-the-art facilities and 100% college and employment rates.

Of course, these are just public statements.

In fact, the teaching method used by this school, which implements closed management, is to cultivate a class of students in a way that resembles raising poisonous insects, while the students in the remaining three classes are all abandoned as defective products.

Only the Class A graduates enjoy a 100% employment and further education rate.

Many people have complaints about this school, but no one has been able to really have any impact on it.

On the one hand, those who successfully graduate from this school are all outstanding individuals, at least one or two of them are.

On the other hand, this school could also be used as an experimental site for the Japanese high command.

You don't need to know too much, it's just a pretty strange place.

At least that's what Joseph thinks.

According to a competitive mechanism known as the "S System", students are divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D, and will not be reassigned within three years.

In reality, most of the school's resources are only provided to Class A, and many students enroll without understanding the S system.

Many people have unwittingly stepped into a game where the future is at stake.

"You really are using me as a tool for reading and writing, aren't you?"

Joseph pulled an instant camera out from under the table and couldn't help but complain.

Since I started learning about management from Dr. Samuel, I have rarely been directly involved in frontline combat as before.

He also spent much less time with Luo Zhen on weekdays.

However, this did not affect Joseph and Ryoma's friendship; their relationship remained the same as before, like that of close friends who often bicker.

"There's nothing I can do about it, your Hermit's Purple is just so useful."

Reclining comfortably in Joseph's chair, Luo Zhen turned around and smiled at Joseph.

Indeed, other people's things are always the best.

Whether it's food, drink, or other necessities.

Could it be due to the added benefit of getting something for free?

Who knows.

"You really are something."

Joseph casually placed the Polaroid camera on the table, and instead of reading or writing it down, he put the documents in his hand on the shelf next to him.

Although Joseph's workload has increased dramatically recently, his office environment is actually much cleaner than before.

It may be because he completed the transformation from a soldier to a commander.

As for whether Joseph will feel that all his strength has been wasted or experience any psychological letdown?

Now I'm going to tell you about Joseph's identity besides being a Stand user and a Ripple warrior.

The real estate tycoon of the Bald Eagle, and the head of the SPW conglomerate.

For Joseph, a mere Chiba base was not a big problem.

He had a much bigger headache when he first took over the SPW conglomerate than he does now.

Not only are there hyenas eyeing them from the outside, but the loyalty of the employees below cannot be guaranteed either.

During that time, Joseph would use the Hermit's Purple telepathy to check on those who were suspected whenever he had free time.

Although it's somewhat unethical to do this, is Joseph the kind of person who cares about such things?

Besides, the SPW consortium is the culmination of Mr. Speedwagon's life's work, and Joseph would absolutely not allow it to be destroyed in his hands.

In comparison, things at the Chiba base were much simpler.

Although the task may be more demanding and there are many headaches to deal with.

But at least things are still harmonious within the base.

There's something really interesting about this.

In ancient times, the civil and military officials under the emperor were always fighting against each other and disliked each other.

Within the organization, personnel can be broadly divided into combat personnel and research personnel.

Their view of each other was, "Damn it, if I had your abilities (intelligence), I'd still be stuck here fighting tooth and nail (cooped up in the lab)."

I'm somewhat envious.

Having finished what he was doing, Joseph raised his hand high, the thorns of the Hermit Purple wrapped around his palm.

The electric light flickered with faint ripples.

For Joseph, the use of ripples had almost become instinctive.

Last time, he gave up training in Ripple too early, which made it useless in the subsequent battles.

This time, starting over, Joseph maintained the most basic ripple breathing at all times, and did not give up the other exercises.

"Hermit's Purple!!"

After a habitual shout, Joseph slammed his palm down.

This Polaroid camera, which had never been used since its release, produced the first and last photograph of its short life.

"Give."

Joseph pulled out a photo from the tattered Polaroid camera and handed the photo he had written down to Rozen.

Joseph only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it after that.

After all, he's no longer an investigator working on the front lines.

Furthermore, Joseph believed that with Luo Zhen's abilities, he could successfully complete this containment mission.

"This guy..."

Looking at the actual content in the photo, Luo Zhen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

In the photo, the chairman of the board, Sakayanagi, is sitting at his desk in the same pose as Commander Ikari.

A mysterious smile played on his lips, half of his face hidden in the darkness.

In the darkness behind him, a white figure could be seen faintly.

Judging from its shape, it can be vaguely seen to be a human form.

Looking out through the blinds, one could vaguely see part of a huge magic circle.

The purple light flickered faintly, giving off an ominous feeling.

"Win the lottery."

With a flick of his hand, the photograph disappeared from his grasp.

Luo Zhen was not surprised that the first person he had his eye on had been found to have problems.

After all, intuition, while not scientific, is quite mystical.

After gaining the power of Amazons, Luo Zhen's intuition has been consistently outrageous.

Especially after gaining the power of desire and divine power.

Sometimes Joseph even thought that Rozen didn't need his Hermit Purple at all.

Why not just go and arrest them? His intuition is unlikely to be wrong anyway.

However, Luo Zhen has always insisted that no action should be taken without solid evidence.

Otherwise, wouldn't all those rules become a joke?

Joseph neither confirmed nor denied this.

After all, Joseph has never been a rule-abiding person.

"correct."

Before Luo Zhen set off, Joseph seemed to have thought of something and said to Luo Zhen:

"Sakamoto has officially taken up the post of investigator, and he should be working with you on this mission."

Luo Zhen: ?

Luo Zhen slowly typed out a question mark, feeling that his brain wasn't quite up to the task.

What exactly happened during that short separation?

Chapter 786, Section 807: Sakamoto: Surprised?

Inside the vehicle, Luo Zhen and Sakamoto, both dressed in black combat uniforms, silently gazed at each other.

Neither of them spoke.

However, you can always tell what the other person wants to express from their eyes.

Sakamoto: Surprised?

Luo Zhen: More frightened.

To be honest, Sakamoto's quiet coming of age and the appointment of the new investigator really gave Rōma a fright.

For a moment, Luo Zhen even wondered if Joseph was joking with him.

But after calming down, I realized that Joseph didn't need to make such a joke.

Moreover, Sakamoto mentioned once unintentionally during junior high school that his birthday was a few months later than Rozen's.

However, since Sakamoto never celebrates his birthday, Rozen quickly forgot about it.

Now that I think about it, it seems like it's time.

"It's been a long time since I've worn combat gear, and it feels like a lot has changed."

"Is it an illusion?"

After stretching his arms, Sakamoto looked at Luo Zhen with some curiosity and asked.

The last time I wore my combat uniform to go out on a mission was last year, when Sakamoto was taken by Rōjin to visit a containment mission.

Since then, Sakamoto has devoted himself entirely to improving his training.

At that time, Sakamoto clearly realized that he was not strong enough.

It's not just about strength, but also about many other aspects.

When a normal person enters an unfamiliar world, they subconsciously place themselves in a relatively low position.

However, this "low" is only relative.

"I'm not actually that bad. At least I'm not at the bottom."

This kind of wishful thinking and a slight unwillingness to admit defeat can prevent people from correctly recognizing their own status.

But Sakamoto did not

Let's not even mention that he was easily defeated by Ryougi Shirou as soon as he gained his power.

Those special forces soldiers in uniform and equipped with standard gear all possess on-the-spot judgment and decisiveness that he cannot match.

They may simply be following orders within the task force.

But given the right opportunity, they will demonstrate their combat skills.

Based on this, Sakamoto truly devoted all his energy to improving himself.

This is why Sakamoto was able to pass all the subsequent tests smoothly.

"Combat uniforms are constantly being updated; yours is the latest model."

Pointing to the line of small letters below the emblem on Sakamoto's chest, Luo Zhen explained.

As standard combat uniforms for special forces soldiers, the organization has never stopped researching and improving these uniforms.
