I'm really just human

Chapter 256 ConsortiumX

2023-08-14

"Decade."

Xia Chuan muttered as he walked into the washroom.

He has given the information he copied yesterday to his former teammate Taki Akihisa to help analyze, but the part about the Fujiwara Group seems to be meaningless.

He was not very interested in research other than the shuttle and the decade belt.

After the Age of Knights began, there were too many research organizations in this world. The Fujiwara Foundation was just the one that came to the fore. Apart from the shuttles and armor systems, it was relatively ordinary in other aspects.

That’s not right either…

Those materials may contain copy information held by the Fujiwara family.

He needs to seize the initiative before the real Decade finds him.

This feels right. The key to evolution lies in the decade system.

Xia Chuan recalled the scene last night when the shuttle and the Decade belt resonated with each other.

As a derivative product, the shuttle is not a decade belt after all. Even if it becomes special in his case, it still lacks key elements.

But the old man was very cautious and did not show up himself. I don’t know how he managed to make his assistant his agent.

This is the first time I have seen someone let other people use the knight system that I have bound to myself.

"Shouldn't you pay more attention to Class A?"

Hiroko Asami reminded as she changed her shoes at the entrance.

"You haven't been to class for a long time. You can't leave everything to Mr. Daosheng."

"Let's talk about it in a few days."

Xia Chuan said casually.

He doesn't seem to be suitable to be a teacher.

Especially when repeated teaching is required.

In this regard, Kondo Isami is much better than him.

According to Tingdao Sheng, also known as the K of Clubs, some professional courses are now basically taught by Kondo Isami.

There seems to be an open class by Kondo Isami today, in which the content is to share the experience of surviving in dungeons.

"boom!"

Hiroko Asami pulled her clothes and went out with a worried look on her face. When Natsukawa heard the door closing and looked over, there was only a fallen business card left on the ground.

Consortium X……

As he walked forward and picked up the business card, the figure of the young man in white naturally appeared in Xia Chuan's mind.

In the Knight's world, Consortium X seems to be a secret organization that funds villains from all time and space behind the scenes. Now, no one knows what's going on with this one, but it seems to have been supported by the Alliance and is about to follow the development path of the former.

During this six-month window, the alliance should not have completed the time and space copy.

But mastering a dungeon doesn't necessarily depend on clearing it.

The previous agito experiment is an obvious example.

Consortium X may also be a new attempt.

After a pause, Natsukawa put down the business card, walked to the window and watched Hiroko Asami drive away.

I have to reach level 10 soon.

Reaching the pinnacle of knighthood, even if he cannot become a giant of light, is enough for him to gain a foothold in this world.

……

Comprehensive training hall.

After completing combat training with other trainees, Fujiwara Saiji walked to the stands, sweating all over, to drink water.

Although he had to rely on his own strength to become a Level 5 knight, it was far from being that easy, and he simply couldn't find the direction.

The tiger girl watched from the side for a long time, then glanced at the frowning Fujiwara Saiji with a sneer and said, "You little brat, just give up. You are just imitating your brother. It is impossible for you to advance to level 5 at this rate."

"What did you say? It's just an undead creature that survived..."

Fujiwara Saiji's face darkened, and when he thought about the possible relationship between the tiger girl and Natsukawa, he subconsciously suppressed the idea of ​​transforming.

But the tiger girl didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. The mockery on her face continued as she jumped off the stands: "Want a fight? You seem to be looking down on me. You are no match for me!"

"Transform!"

Fujiwara Saiji turned the insect instrument on his wrist with a cold face, transformed without saying a word, and put on the royal bee armor again.

The tiger girl on the opposite side was not to be outdone and revealed the form of an undead creature at the same time.

"You knights aren't the only ones getting stronger!"

"stop it now!"

Principal Tamura came over with the alliance team, and when he saw Fujiwara Saiji and Tiger Girl preparing to take action, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"This is not the place for a fight!"

Fortunately, the school’s funding was not very sufficient to begin with, and it should not be wasted on unnecessary repairs.

"Humph."

The tiger girl changed back into human form and did not continue to pester them. She just glanced at the members of the alliance team as she left. When she saw the public security youth, her body suddenly shook.

Such a strong sense of threat.

Level 5 Knight?

"headmaster."

Fujiwara Saiji was so furious at the tiger girl's contemptuous look, but he could not ignore Tamura's dissuasion. He could only suppress his frustration and look at the alliance team.

After going through the Den-O copy, he was no stranger to the Alliance team and knew that it was an official team.

"Fujiwara Saiji, right?"

Before the principal could explain the situation, the young police officer took the initiative to speak.

"You should know what happened last night. Can you go back with us and help with the investigation?"

"Investigate what?" Fujiwara Saiji looked confused. "Sorry, I've been training all night, I don't know yet..."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know," the police officer said calmly, "Last night, Decade transformed into Kabuto and invaded the Alliance Building and disappeared without a trace. We just want to collect as many clues as possible."

"Decade?"

It was the first time that Fujiwara Saiji heard of Decade, but Kabuto was very familiar with it.

"Could it be..."

"Yes, this incident is related to the Fujiwara Group."

In the training hall corridor, when Natsukawa entered, he happened to see Fujiwara Saiji being taken away by the alliance team.

What happened last night actually caused such a big reaction. Fortunately, he got the information in advance. If he went there again now, it would probably not be so easy.

Now that he thinks about it, last night's success might not have been a deliberate setup by the Alliance, but the Alliance probably didn't expect that there would be an outsider like him.

"call!"

The young public security officer noticed Xia Chuan, but did not greet him. He just turned his eyes away like a stranger, and only stopped suddenly when they passed by.

My heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, as if I had returned to the Den-O copy.

As his pupils shrank, the young public security officer frowned and turned back, only to see Xia Chuan's back as he turned the corner.

"What's wrong, Captain?" the knight next to him asked in confusion, "Are you going to take Kaminaga Shinji away too?"

"fine."

The young public security officer withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and continued to lead the team away.

"Captain," Xia Chuan approached the thoughtful Tamura, "What has Saiji done wrong?"

"I'm just assisting with the investigation," Tamura came back to his senses and explained, "The Fujiwara Group caused quite a stir last night. The higher-ups probably think those people might have had contact with Saiji."

“That’s probably going to be disappointing.”

Xia Chuan shook his head secretly.

If Fujiwara Saiji had any clues, would he still go to the Alliance Building to look for information?

This kid may not know as much as he does.

"There have been so many things going on lately. I always feel like a storm is coming," Tamura sighed. "Not to mention the return of the alien insects, there seems to be a kind of weird item becoming popular on the black market. It's easier to gain power than a knight. What will become of humans if this continues?"

Xia Chuan did not respond.

Tamura must be talking about the Gaia memory device.

It is indeed somewhat ironic that the Age of Knights came to fight monsters, but now humans themselves choose to become monsters.

Compared to the Fujiwara Group, Group X should be eliminated.

Chapter 257 Wind and W

2023-08-15

In the evening, at the izakaya, Leo's House.

When Xia Chuan opened the door curtain and entered, there were unexpectedly quite a few guests, but the atmosphere was still strange.

It was dark even in broad daylight, even darker than before.

"Hey, Kan'ei," the bald boss who was wiping cups at the counter said with a bright expression, "I haven't been here for a long time. How are you doing at the Knight Academy?"

"Not bad."

Xia Chuan didn't know what to say. After looking at the silent customers in the store, he walked towards the counter hesitantly.

"Same old, milk and side dishes..."

"Shh!"

Before Xia Chuan could get close, the customers in the store suddenly stood up nervously and looked at Xia Chuan in unison. Their serious faces were particularly creepy in the dim light.

"Kannaga Shinji?!"

"Don't get me wrong," the bald boss hurriedly explained with a smile, "Kanniaga is a regular customer of mine, and it's not five years ago now, so don't be nervous."

"what happened?"

Xia Chuan glanced strangely at the guests who continued to drink as if nothing had happened.

They are all aliens.

Although there are many aliens mixed in with the crowd in this city, they are not really seen everywhere.

"Boss, has this place become a gathering place for aliens?" Xia Chuan asked in a low voice.

He is not Lipia now, and Lipia does not fight and kill all aliens. There is no need to cause trouble. It would be best if they can live in peace.

"It's a long story," the bald boss sighed and touched his head, "I don't know what happened, but since I started serving noodles, my store has inexplicably become popular in the alien circle. It was fine before, but recently it has suddenly become more popular.

But don't worry, these guys have no ill intentions, they are just settling on Earth like ordinary people. I heard that they can't go back to their hometown, which is quite pitiful. "

"If you really want to be normal, why are you so hostile to me?"

Xia Chuan's eyes twitched slightly.

The ones Lipia dealt with on Earth were all monsters, and the few aliens were the famous troublemakers Zarab and Mephilas.

Anyone who reacts so strongly cannot be a friendly person.

It's just that because of the change in environment, he lost the ability to do evil.

"By the way, boss, your hairstyle..."
