Meanwhile, Moss was doing pull-ups at White Deer High’s campus grounds. ‘One hundred and seventy-seven, one hundred and seventy-eight, one hundred and seventy-nine…’ Moss counted in his heart.

After doing two hundred pull-ups, Moss planned to get something to eat when he heard a voice coming from behind him, “Moss, you’re a genius, aren’t you? You did so well in the project I hate most. I envy you.”

Moss quickly finished his last few pull-ups and jumped down from the horizontal bar. He hurriedly walked forward and put his arm around Alan’s shoulder when he saw Alan. Then he said excitedly, “Thank you again for the detox pill you gave me last time, Alan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have won my match with Deng Lun.”

Alan revealed a smile when he heard Moss giving him credit for his victory. He rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly, “Why are you being so nice? I only did you a small favor.”

“All I did was give you a one-star detox pill with limited effects. Its medicinal effects wouldn’t be enough to last you till the end of the match if it weren’t for your shield whirlwind that swept away the poison gas.”

Alan put his arm around Moss’s shoulder when he said that. His two eyes were wide open as he complained, “Also, when did you get so good at acting? I thought the detox pill failed, so I worried for a while!”

Moss scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed. “It’s nothing. I watched all Deng Lun’s matches and observed his opponents’ movements and expressions when they got poisoned. I had no choice but to create an illusion that his poison worked.”

“Deng Lun’s agility is incredible, and it would take a lot of effort to fight him. Also, the poison gas was everywhere. So, the detox pill you gave me was my key to victory.”

After that, Moss walked toward the canteen with Alan. Then a tall and thin male student ran over while panting. “M-Moss, you don’t have your cellphone with you, right? Miss Aisha needs you urgently. She wants you to go to her office.”

“Yeah, I don’t have my cellphone with me because I went to exercise. Thank you for letting me know, Kulos. I’ll go to Miss Aisha’s office right away.”

“You can go to the cafeteria, Alan. Could you get me a glass of soy milk and eggs while you’re there?”

After that, Moss ran to Miss Aisha’s office. When he arrived at the door, he saw that it was open, so he knocked and walked in. “I’m here, Miss Aisha.”

“Have a seat, Moss.”

The competition would continue tomorrow, and Miss Aisha had prepared a lot of information. That’s why she hurriedly called Moss over.

Miss Aisha handed Moss the organized information as she spoke, “This information is for the lower half of Zone B. You might meet an opponent from that zone, so I want you to look at that information. It will be of great help to you.”

After that, Miss Aisha frowned slightly and said hesitantly, “I-I have another matter to discuss with you today, Moss.”

Moss noticed Miss Aisha’s hesitation and said, “Please, let me hear it, Miss Aisha.”

“I want to talk to you about the individual Player Kill competition.”

Moss became interested when he heard that. He wanted to discuss a battle plan for the individual Player Kill competition’s continuation. “There’s something I want to talk to you about concerning the competition too. Please, tell me what you’re thinking, Miss Aisha.”

“You’re in a dire situation, Moss.” Miss Aisha revealed a saddened expression, and her eyes were dim.

“You met powerful opponents in the individual Player Kill competition, yet you relied on your wisdom and courage to defeat them, entering the knockout round with a complete victory. I’m proud of you and hope you will continue to achieve excellent results.”

“But things are different now. Number Two High’s alliance feels that you’re a threat. They will not allow such a threat to exist because they are determined to win this year’s annual school professional competition.”

“They’ve already agreed to join forces and deal with you. Number Two High is already mighty, but now they’re joining forces and gathering resources from six other schools.”

“It was fine during the team Mystic Realm competition since you had four teammates. But you’re now in the individual Player Kill competition, making it risky for you to face an alliance yourself.”

“Although White Deer High has good relations with several schools, such as Number Eleven and Twelve High, their strength is limited.”

“Outside of Number Two High’s alliance, Number Three, Six, and Nine High are another alliance led by Number Three High.”

The more Moss heard, the more shocked he became. As it turned out, the schools had factions. It was no wonder the participants from Number Two, Four, and Five High were familiar with each other. However, they were more distant from Number Three High’s alliance.

Nonetheless, the schools used such methods to win the competition, making Moss very angry. The situation stimulated his fighting spirit. He wasn’t afraid of strong enemies.

Miss Aisha noticed the sudden change in Moss. Still, she thought he was just angry because his opponent was targeting him and that he couldn’t continue participating in the individual Player Kill competition.

Miss Aisha comforted Moss, “Don’t worry about it, Moss. You’ve already proven your strength in the individual Player Kill competition. You don’t have to work so hard anymore.”

“The director spoke to us and hopes you choose to give up on the individual Player Kill competition. We all want you to shift your focus on the team Player Kill competition.”

“Although the individual Player Kill competition results are average, you can get the Future Star award if you get a good rank in the team Player Kill competition.”

Moss understood that the teachers and director were only saying this for his own good, so he didn’t argue with them. Thus, he thanked Miss Aisha again, chatted with her for a while, bid farewell, and returned to the dormitory.

…

It was late at night, and Moss was still awake. He looked at the starry sky and sorted out his recent experiences.

Moss got the kill on a level ten Mystic Realm Boss when he participated in his first test, leading his schoolmates to conquer a one-star Mystic Realm. He fully demonstrated his chivalry and proved his strength to his schoolmates and teachers.

Although most students and teachers didn’t acknowledge Moss as a Knight, his chivalrous spirit won him an award, proving that White Deer High’s director valued his Knight’s spirit.

Moreover, Moss was allowed to participate in the annual school professional competition and represent his school. He relied on his strength to gain his teammates’ trust. Moss led his team, overcoming numerous difficulties, becoming the first team to conquer a two-star Mystic Realm.

During that time, Moss reached level eleven, enabling him to exert five hundred and fifty kilograms of force. His physical stats had already grown five times more than his initial level.

Then, in the individual Player Kill competition, Moss obtained one victory after another, breaking the audience’s inherent thinking of Knights being weak and unreliable.

In Moss’s match against Deng Lun, the Holy Alchemist, he used his victory to clear everyone’s doubts, allowing the Knight class to receive more and more respect among the people.

Moss felt that he had a mission to accomplish at this time. He wanted to reignite the Knights’ spirit and carry on its beliefs.

The annual school professional competition was an excellent opportunity to display the Knight’s spirit and inspire the Knight class. Moss refused to retreat no matter the difficulties he encountered. He also believed he could take down stronger enemies and claim the Future Star award.

Moss would also display his chivalrous spirit on a larger stage and carry out his missions in the future. His eyes glinted with light, revealing a face full of determination and confidence.
