Chapter 43: The Strongest Student in the World
“I am Jin Halbert, the Holy Knights’ Commander. A pleasure to meet you.”
“The Holy Knights’ Commander…?”
Reina couldn’t hide her shock.
The title of Holy Knights’ Commander was usually reserved for battle-hardened veterans.
Of course, if one had the skill, they could attain the position. There were even exceptions like Gillian, who had been promoted due to possessing power on par with a Holy Knight.
“Colonel Star… Why is the Holy Knights’ Commander here?”
Kenya was just as surprised and turned to the colonel for answers.
Why was someone of that rank still a student?
“He is a student. But he comes from a rather unique background—he’s had elite training from a young age. He became the Holy Knights’ Commander just this year, making him the youngest in history… but he insisted on finishing school properly. Technically, he outranks even me now.”
According to Colonel Star, a Holy Knight held authority equal to that of a colonel.
But as Holy Knights’ Commander, Jin had the rank of a lieutenant general—which meant his military authority vastly surpassed that of Star.
“That said, his father was one of my students. So, at least when it comes to me, the kid knows his place! Gahaha!”
“I see…”
Reina and Jin shook hands before stepping into the simulator.
Kenya watched them with a mix of irritation and reluctant admiration.
(Damn it… they look too good together.)
The battle began.
3, 2, 1… FIGHT!
(This is my first time fighting a Holy Knights’ Commander… I wonder how strong he is? I’ll start by testing the waters!)
Reina made the first move.
Just like when she fought Kenya for the first time, she dashed into his blind spot and delivered a lightning-fast strike.
But this time, her slash was far sharper—polished to perfection.
“I see. No wonder the others couldn’t win. You’re already at the level of a veteran Holy Knight.”
Jin Halbert blocked her attack with ease, despite his words of admiration.
“As expected… He can stop that effortlessly.”
Watching from the sidelines, Kenya immediately grasped Jin’s level of strength.
He wasn’t showing his full power yet—but even so, it was clear he was a force to be reckoned with.
Jin effortlessly deflected Reina’s rapid attacks.
The difference in strength was obvious.
“Haha! Looks like even Reina can’t beat Jin! But that’s no surprise—he’s special. Of all the warriors I’ve seen, he’s trained in the best possible environment and possesses freakish talent. No, calling him a genius doesn’t do him justice. He’s a monster.”
“How strong is he, exactly?”
“How strong, huh… That’s hard to say. But I can tell you this—there’s no one in your generation who can stand against him. Right now, he’s only using about 50% of his full power. He’s still new as the Holy Knights’ Commander, but in time, he’ll likely reach the level of the Three Great Heroes.”
“The Three Great Heroes?”
“What, you don’t know? Looks like Sieg hasn’t taught you much. They’re the three strongest Holy Knights in the nation. They fought in real wars, not just tournaments—like the EU’s Great War. True warriors. They’ve even battled against legends like White Lotus of Asia and Thor of the EU.”
“I see…”
(I’d love to fight them someday… not on a battlefield, but in a simulator. And to think there are warriors this strong outside of Asgard…)
Kenya was a KOG battle junkie.
His entire life had been dedicated to becoming world champion.
He loved KOG more than anything.
More than anyone.
He had poured his youth, his time, and his life into it.
It was only natural that he longed to face the strongest warriors.
In his previous world, there had eventually been no one left stronger than him.
“…By the way, Jin is the son of one of the Three Great Heroes. In that sense, he’s had an unfair advantage—he was raised by the strongest and trained under their elite tutelage from the start.”

“Hah… Well, that explains his absurd strength.”
On the screen, Reina was being completely overwhelmed.
The difference in their training years and upbringing was massive—there was no logical way for her to win.
In terms of talent, she wasn’t necessarily inferior.
But the gap in experience was undeniable.
“This is fun, Reina.”
“I don’t have the luxury of enjoying this!”
“I like that fire in your eyes even more. Seeing you give it your all… It’s making me want to take this seriously. But I think I’ve seen enough.”
Jin adjusted his stance—he had seen all he needed to see.
He had gauged Reina’s limits.
And now, it was time to end the match.
“You’re amazing, Reina. To have reached this level at your age… One day, you will become a Holy Knights’ Commander.”
“…I’ll accept that for now. But one day, I will surpass you.”
“I look forward to it. Until then… allow me to educate you. Both publicly and privately.”
Jin increased his output.

Reina’s stance broke—she lost her balance.
Without hesitation, Jin delivered a swift follow-up attack—sending a powerful explosion into her.
A flawless combination.
His movements were so fluid, so polished, that they had reached the pinnacle of artistry.
And the Winner Is…
JIN WIN!
The victory message flashed across the screen.
When all was said and done, Jin had won with nearly his full health intact—an overwhelming victory.
That was just how vast the gap in their abilities was.
Reina and Jin stepped out of the simulator.
Reina was drenched in sweat, her long silver hair slightly damp.
In contrast, Jin looked completely unbothered, as if he hadn’t even broken a sweat.
“How was I? Did I meet your expectations?”
“D-Don’t be ridiculous. I can tell you’re stronger than me, obviously.”
“No, no, you’re very strong. And I love strong opponents. But I rarely find anyone my age who can actually fight me… My father’s always busy, too.”
Ad
Reina looked frustrated.
Losing to someone her age—this was the first time it had happened since Kenya.
Jin, on the other hand, was smiling—his expression gleeful, almost like a child who had found a new toy.
It was clear he loved KOG.
Kenya could understand that feeling, even if only a little.
A game without rivals wasn’t fun.
Competition existed because there were opponents.
“That’s Jin for you—what a dominant win. But I’m glad to see how much you’ve improved, Reina. Watching you fight reminds me of Sieg in his younger days. Well then, Sword, why don’t you—huh?”
Colonel Star turned, only to realize Kenya was no longer beside him.
“Now then, let’s go. As promised, I know a great place to eat. We should deepen our bond, don’t you think? And of course, I’ll make sure to educate you properly.”
Jin casually reached out to put an arm around Reina’s shoulder—acting overly familiar, almost like her boyfriend.
But his hand never made it.
It was stopped.
“Hm? And you are…? Ah, Reina’s…”
“Excuse me, senpai.”
The low voice carried weight.
Kenya’s veins bulged slightly, irritation seeping through.
He was pissed.
The reason was simple:
The girl he loved was being flirted with by some good-looking guy he barely knew.
He was about to touch her—treating her like she was his, probably without any ill intent, but still playing with her like a toy.
And Kenya?
Kenya was madly in love with her.
He didn’t know how to control that feeling.
A boy who had never truly experienced a proper youth—this was his first time dealing with an emotion like this.
So, he spoke with anger in his voice.
“Fight me. If I win, there’s no date.”
His eyes burned with jealous flames—
A temporary older brother ready to fight for what was his.
