Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 318: Knights... Aren’t Like This... Hearing the commotion behind her, especially the name ”Whislash Knight,” Sona’s red squirrel ears perked up. Her eyes widened slightly, and she immediately turned her head, her gaze locking onto the person approaching from behind like a starstruck fan.

”Oh~ It’s Whislash Knight?!”

Sona said, a little excitedly.

Lucas Reeve followed Sona’s gaze to the woman walking over. He had to admit, this Whislash Knight was indeed stunningly beautiful. Her golden hair, flowing like a waterfall, was soft and slightly curled, exceptionally eye-catching. Her light blue eyes were like gems sunk into a cold pool. Her features were exceptionally exquisite.

She was clearly a Kuranta, yet she possessed a charm usually found only in Vulpos. She kept a faint smile on her face at all times. When the younger knights around her greeted her, she would wave back politely.

However, the most dazzling part wasn’t her face, but her figure.

Even wearing form-fitting knight armor, it couldn’t hide Whislash Knight’s full figure, especially her chest, which made people want to take a second look. Her waistline formed an ’S’ shape. Her long thighs were wrapped in black stockings, with knight’s boots over them.

Putting all else aside, with looks like that, it was hard *not* to be popular.

”Do you know her?”

Lucas Reeve wasn’t very interested in the Knight Major and didn’t know much about it. He only knew of the Radiant Knight and the Black Knight. He knew nothing about the others.

Sona nodded.

As an independent Infected knight who couldn’t become an official knight, Sona had always yearned to be an official knight. She felt *that* was what a true knight was. That’s why she was especially excited to be able to participate in an official competition today. It was like... competing on the same stage as an idol she had always admired.

”Mhm!”

Sona nodded: ”Whislash Knight Zofia. She was the champion of the Spring Festival tournament two years ago, the runner-up in the Summer tournament, and placed third in both seasons last year. On the points leaderboard for the last two years, Whislash Knight ranked in the top ten. Plus, she’s very beautiful, so she’s extremely popular in Kazimierz. She’s a star knight. Knights like her usually don’t participate in this kind of regular season; they prepare directly for the Championship. I can’t believe Whislash Knight is joining the regular season, and in our city’s division, too.”

”?”

Lucas Reeve was stunned: ”Isn’t the regular season not that prestigious? Why is she so famous?”

Lucas Reeve didn’t quite get it. After all, he watched competitions in his past life, too. But for the audience, apart from the World Championship winner, all the spring champions, summer champions, and mid-season champions were considered low-prestige. Even if you won several league championships and mid-season cups, you’d still be flamed online as a ”no-ring scrub”.

Oh...

But a championship, to some extent, doesn’t guarantee fame. Fame is a fickle thing. Some athletes don’t even have a league championship but are still hyped as the ’Number One XX’ or ’XX is Faith’. Meanwhile, some athletes win the highest honor but remain unknown. So, to some extent, a championship really doesn’t represent fame.

For example, the Knight Major had been held 22 times, producing over a dozen champions. People might remember the most recent champions, but if you asked who the champions were before the 15th Major, how many people would remember?

”Actually....”

Sona thought for a moment: ”Actually, the top three in the regular season are very strong. They are basically contenders for the top sixteen in the triennial Championship.”

Zofia walked past Sona, her steps elegant, like a catwalk. A faint fragrance lingered in the air as she passed.

Sona wandered around the prep room curiously. There weren’t many famous competitors. After all, the skilled ones were preparing for the Championship and didn’t have time for this. The highest-ranked was probably Whislash Knight. There weren’t many Infected knights either. Or rather... there were almost none. Because the restriction was lifted so hastily, just a month before the season, some Infected who had this dream didn’t have time to prepare. However, there should be many Infected in the Knight Major qualifiers in six months.
