Chapter 270 (1): Sun Knight Leo
Golden light streaked across the sky, flickering continuously. Clad in a knight’s armor, Wayne was being carried along by a blonde woman, turning into light particles and teleporting repeatedly. All the while, he tried to analyze the formula to learn the technique.
Valkyrie’s teleportation distance wasn’t long. Like the portal of the undead warhorse, Julia, she teleported short distances, suited for the battlefield but not long-distance traveling.
“You shouldn’t have said those things to Vera, Wayne,” Valkyrie said in resignation. “She’s falling deeper and deeper. It’ll be hard for her to leave you in the future.”
That’s the point!
Wayne felt no guilt whatsoever. He was risking his life to pursue the girl and working hard to advance their relationship. Why should he feel guilty?
His silence left Valkyrie helpless. She said after a moment of consideration, “You’ve learned my swordsmanship. If there’s a chance, I’d like to give you a lesson on chivalrous spirit. I hope you’ll study well.”
The chivalrous spirit included the eight virtues that embodied a knight’s noble character: humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, compassion, honesty, fairness, and spirituality. Those who knew the chivalrous spirit would understand what each virtue represented. Those who didn’t know would still understand from the literal meanings.
Spirituality, specifically, referred to a knight’s inner beliefs, including reverence for the divine, devotion to making contribution to their faith, and the ability to comprehend divine revelations.
Wayne knew what Valkyrie was thinking. He had become a Sun Knight candidate and was qualified to take on the mantle of the chosen knight, but his approach to justice was too indirect.
She believed he needed lessons to learn what it meant to be a proper knight.
“Teacher, I understand what you’re saying, but think about it. Among the knightly virtues, there is no rule dictating that a knight must be single, nor any rule that a knight can only have one girlfriend.” Wayne went through the eight virtues and didn’t find anything on chastity. It wasn’t in the discussion.
Looking at it from another angle, wouldn’t his juggling multiple relationships be a demonstration of sacrifice, valor, compassion, and fairness?
