I'm really just human

The moth's body stiffened slightly.

"Just now...you are that human?! I did sense the aura of the undead creature, but..."

"call out--!"

Xiachuan raised the Calis bow and shot an arrow into the half-broken mouthparts of the moth.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Here!"

Kenzaki Kazuma followed the green blood trail to the outside of the tunnel. When he hesitated whether to go in, he clearly heard an explosion coming from the tunnel.

Same sound as the exploding moth undead scale powder.

"Could it be Teacher Shenyong?"

Gripping the sword-shaped weapon tightly in his hand, Kenzaki Kazuma lowered his head, but still rushed into the tunnel with a deep voice.

After a round of explosions, the tunnel immediately returned to calm.

Just when Kenzaki Kazuma was wondering what was going on, he saw a flash of light from a card, which then spun and fell into the hands of an unknown black shadow.

"That is……"

Kenzaki Kazuma's body trembled slightly, and he still felt insecure even wearing blade armor.

The sharp reflection was particularly eye-catching in the darkness. Even though he couldn't see the whole picture, the glowing heart-shaped compound eyes still made him think of last night.

The same feeling of oppression.

"Kallis?!"

Kenzaki Kazuma suppressed his fear with a roar, and swung his sword to take an attacking stance.

"Who are you? Are you also an undead creature? What is your purpose?!"

"Why? You want to cause trouble for me?"

Natsukawa heard the anger and hostility in Kenzaki Kazuma's words. He didn't know the reason, but he didn't take it to heart.

Anger is good.

The protagonist in "blade" turns anger into strength and becomes stronger and stronger.

The knight system of this series is closely related to the emotions and will of the wearer. Fear and cowardice will affect combat effectiveness, and may even lead to the wearer being controlled by undead creatures.

"Swish!"

Natsukawa put the newly sealed Moth Heart 8 back into the card box, and at the same time drew out Spade 3 and Spade 5 and threw them to Kenzaki Kazuma.

These two cards, one that enhances boxing speed and one that enhances kicking, are not very useful to him, but they can be used as a training ground for Kenzaki Kazuma.

"You are still too weak now. Come back to me when you have learned how to use these two cards."

Chapter 92: Return of the hero?

2023-04-30

"why?"

Kenzaki Kazuma watched Calis's figure disappear completely into the darkness, and clenched two spade cards between his fingers.

I totally don't understand.

Why did they attack the research institute? Why did they steal the cards and seal the undead creatures...

"Oh right, Teacher Shenyong!"

Kenzaki Kazuma suddenly woke up, looked around and rushed out of the tunnel in a hurry.

"Strange, what about people?"

……

central square.

After receiving the information confirming the seal of the undead creatures from Kenzaki Kazuma, the combat troops cleared the area and left one after another.

Natsukawa returned to the scene and met Hiroko Asami again in an open-air restaurant on the next street.

After the waiter brought two dessert puddings, Natsukawa took off the desire driver from his waist and pushed it in front of Hiroko Asami.

"Kaminaga?" Hiroko Asami looked bewildered. "Don't you like it? There are indeed no accessories now, but..."

"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. This Desire Driver is not mine at all, right?"

Xia Chuan said while pressing down the Desire Driver.

"Don't lie to me, if I could get approval, I would have been a Kamen Rider a long time ago."

"Is it important?" Asami Hiroko didn't take back the driver. She snorted and looked directly at Natsukawa and said, "This belt is yours now. The activation of the core ID is proof of that."

Without waiting for Natsukawa to reply, Hiroko Asami stood up, holding her hips, and forcefully pushed the desire driver back with both hands.

"It's decided, Kaminaga," Asami Hiroko said seriously, "I'm not fit to be a knight right now. Rather than failing at transformation, I'd rather give you the chance to fight as a knight in my place, okay?"

"How are you going to explain this to the higher-ups?" Xia Chuan paused.

"Don't worry, the higher-ups won't dare to deal with this matter publicly. They were originally in the wrong in this matter. At most, they will give me some trouble in the future. I'm not afraid of that. What do you care about?"

Hiroko Asami assured confidently while leaning against the table.

"However, there is a problem with the Desire Driver accessories. It might get stuck..."

Natsukawa looked quietly at the worried Hiroko Asami.

The ones targeting him are probably the aliens who have infiltrated the upper echelons. I guess not many aliens like him.

However, what Hiroko Asami said is not wrong. These aliens also have concerns and will not act recklessly.

"That's enough."

After looking for a while, Xia Chuan stopped refusing and shook his head and smiled secretly.

"If I'm not mistaken, those accessories should all be from the temporary copy last time. It's not impossible to get them."

"You agreed?" Hiroko Asami asked in surprise.

She thought it would take some more talking.

"What else can we do? Like you said, it's all activated."

Xia Chuan looked at the Desire Driver Core ID helplessly.

"You should keep this driver. I will transform and fight when needed."

A "Kubo"-style Kamen Rider with limited equipment should be acceptable to those aliens.

If he keeps refusing, it will arouse suspicion.

Well, he does need a formal knighthood.

Hiroko Asami stopped trying to persuade her and waved her fist in encouragement: "That's right, our hero is finally back!"

"Where's the hero coming back?" Xia Chuan looked at Asami Hiroko's lively side with amusement, "I'm not Ultraman..."

"Who knows?"

Hiroko Asami looked at him with a subtle look.

"A creature of Ultraman's level should theoretically have no human emotions, so why would he protect us and even fight against his mother planet for us?"

"Emotions?"

Xia Chuan's vision was slightly dazed.

Indeed, whether it is Ultraman Lipia or the later Zoffy, they are both higher life forms different from humans. They are cosmic creatures whose wisdom far exceeds the highly rational nature of humans.

It was as if Zoffy didn't care about the Earth at all and treated life on Earth as simple numbers.

Lipia is different. After merging with Shen Yong Xin Er, she not only became interested in human civilization and spent all day in the library, but also obviously deviated from the rational perspective and completely replaced the identity of a human from the identity of an observer.

"Kamiyaga?"

Hiroko Asami called out softly to wake up the distracted Natsukawa.

"Did you remember anything?"

"No," Xia Chuan came back to his senses and elegantly took the knife and fork to cut the dessert pudding, "I just think that maybe Ultraman likes humans too much."

"Really?" Asami Hiroko crossed her arms in a slightly strange tone. "Come to think of it, the type of core ID activation has a lot to do with the user. Why are you a fox?"

"Cough cough."

……

School of Knights.

After hearing that a large number of new knights were about to enroll, Natsukawa was called to Tamura's office as soon as he returned.

If possible, Xiachuan didn't really want to take over too many students, but unfortunately Tamura directly said that it was linked to salary and bonus.

No matter how powerful the knight system is, it cannot change the fact that he is short of money.

After five years of living beyond his means and all kinds of expenses, he doesn't have much savings now. He is still a long way from financial freedom, and he is not to the point where he doesn't take money seriously.

This is the world he lives in, and if there aren't any major twists and turns, he may not leave for hundreds of years.

We can't do without less money.

Comprehensive training hall.

Xia Chuan left the principal's office with a bonus check and received a motorcycle key.

Tamura promised him in advance an ordinary mass-produced Knight motorcycle, which had no additional functions but was expensive and not affordable for most people.

"Teacher Kaminaga!"

Fujiwara Saiji, who was looking around in the training hall, chased after Natsukawa like a dog-skin plaster.

"Baruba has been away from the medical department recently. I heard it has something to do with Investigator Asama?"

"Don't you have to patrol?"

Natsukawa glanced at Fujiwara Saiji.

This guy is still thinking about Rose Girl. He's almost a pervert.

"I'm taking a break today," Fujiwara Saiji coughed lightly, "I'm just thinking about going back to the base for training..."

"Have you trained yet?"

Xia Chuan shook his head and looked towards the venue.

Mizusawa Yu was the only one training hard in the field, sweating profusely as he dodged the attacks of two simulated monsters.

Since the trainees started patrolling, they have met much less frequently.

Although he is only a mentor for these people during their novice period, they are still in a teacher-student relationship after all, and there is some degree of affection between them. He does not want to suddenly receive a death notice of a student one day.

"Have you forgotten why you became a Kamen Rider?"

Xia Chuan said softly.

"Are you really capable of protecting world peace with your current strength? Compared to other newcomers, you are indeed ahead, but so what? Is the fusion coefficient of 79 high? It is still below 80, and you still cannot use Clock Up."

"I……"

Fujiwara Saiji's face was slightly shocked, and he wanted to refute but was speechless.

He has indeed been quite lax these days.

"The one-year training has not yet ended. Strictly speaking, you are still rookies," Xia Chuan finally reminded, "Not all monsters are like Baluba. Don't forget how cruel a real battle is."

Fujiwara Saiji opened his mouth in shock, but when he came to his senses, Natsukawa had already turned and walked away.

"The latest code name for the strange incident that occurred in the central square this morning has been determined. It is an undead creature, category: Heart 8."

The sound of a TV broadcast came from the lounge in the museum.

"The new knight who assisted in repelling the undead creatures on the scene is Kaminaga Shinji. He is currently working at the Knight School and is the knight instructor of Class A. Five years ago, he was the strategic planning officer of the Ford Team and is an elite public security officer..."

"The hero returns? The former Ultraman now fights as Kamen Rider..."
