Living In Another World With Cheats
Chapter 12 The Test of the Four Holy Knights

"It seems like everything is ready, so let's face this test."

Ryouta and the others began to enter the door in front of each of them simultaneously and their trials began there.

After entering the temple, a bright light enveloped him, then as the light slowly disappeared, before him stood a holy knight wearing a white Armor with a hint of purple, purple-robed, and purple-robed color, armed with a Holy Long Sword and also a shield said to him,

"I am the Holy Knight Gregory, will be your opponent in this test, to see if you are worthy or not just determined from this test" he told Ryouta.

"Well if you think I need to be tested, then let's just start the exam" Ryouta told Gregory.

"This test is not easy, you have to prove that you deserve my strength, by fighting and defeating myself."

"Although I don't know why, but fine, I will fight you," Ryouta said pulling his sword and preparing to fight against Gregory.

The Holy Knight Gregory

LV: Unknowns

Status: Unknow

"It seems like his status is unknown, but if I fight seriously, then I can't get any information from him, I'd better fight while asking him," he said inwardly.

"Alright, we start the test." Gregory darted quickly to smash his shield at Ryouta.

"It won't affect me, but I want to ask you one thing, even if we're fighting."

"Alright, I will listen to your words after this fight is over, Justice Shield Bash!"

"Phantom Phantasma Arrow!, I want to ask you, did you know about the temple of the Four Goddesses?" Ryouta asked as he continued shooting arrows at Gregory.

After hearing that word, Gregory drew his sword and asked Ryouta again,

"Why are you looking for that temple?"

"I want to find information about the Seven Sin of Hell, to help the kingdom of Deltras, and also to find out their weaknesses."

"So right, prove to me that if you really want to go to that temple, then you must show me the Four Crystals that are a sign that you have successfully passed the test of the four Goddesses."

"Ah... All right, is this necklace enough to prove it," Ryouta said, showing the four crystal necklaces he got when he finished the exams from Fricilia, Victoria, Erina, and Chisaki.

"It's good that if you've got the necklace, then this test doesn't need to be continued, since you're now in the basement of the Temple of the Four Great Goddesses, fine if you want to find information, then, I will take you to the library of the Four Great Goddesses." Gregory told Ryouta.

************************************

"I say welcome here, I am Ikarus the holy spear, and I am the one who will test you."

"So you're the one who's going to test me, well I'm ready for the test, because I promised the others that I'd do my best" Ruby told Ikarus.

"I can feel your resolve, let your diligence take you through this test." Ikarus whirled his spear and stomped the tip of his spear to the ground and instantly the room turned into an open space surrounded by clouds and a bright blue sky.

"All right, are you ready? If you're ready, let's fight me and prove your ass."

"If that's what you want, I'll prove it, my ability."

After several hours of fighting, Ruby began to look exhausted, but even though she was exhausted, but her determination to win was very big and because of her determination, Ikaros admitted herself and said, saying,

"Your near never giving up proves you deserve my power" Ikaros handed Ruby a ball of light.

After Ruby held onto the ball of light, it turned into a nuncaku called Ikaros nuncaku.

At the next door, Mio and Milia were fighting the guards there, and after a few hours of fighting they finally got recognition from the two remaining Guardians, then they also got the weapons, Artares Sword, and Ardos Knuckles.

After the exam was over, Ryouta and the others came out from the four doors, and outside the door Ren was waiting for them to return.

"Yo, sorry to keep you waiting a long time" Mio told Ren

"It looks like you've passed the test."

"Well that's how it is, the test was quite difficult but it was in line with what he got."

After finishing the conversation, the four guardians said to Ryouta and the others,

"From now on your journey will be quite difficult to pass, but we are sure you can face anything with your present strength."

"Ah... You are right, no one will stand in our way this time," Ryouta said confidently.

"Well if you say so, may we meet again at some time to come" said the four guardians and disappeared instantly.

************************************

After the guardians disappeared, they were suddenly moved right in front of the entrance gate of Logsverial city. When he arrived at the entrance of Logsverial city, Ryouta decided to part with Ren and the others and said, saying,

"Everyone, I think we should split up here, I've got the information I'm looking for, now it's time I go back to Deltras kingdom to tell you what information I got."

"So you'll come back, Ryouta, I think it'll be lonely without you, you'll forget to visit sometime, me and the others will be waiting for you."

"Ah... I will definitely visit you sometime, so see you later Milia, Ruby, Mio, and Ren, hopefully we can meet again later," said Ryouta walked first into the city and headed to the inn to pick up his belongings.

************************************

After a few days of travel by ship from the city of Logsverial, he has now arrived at the royal port of Deltras. Upon arrival in the kingdom of Deltras, the day was getting dark, finally Ryouta decided to look for lodging for a rest tonight.

"Tonight I will take a short break at the inn, and tomorrow I may try to surprise Rui" Ryouta said as he walked to the inn.

Arriving at the inn, he booked a regular room for one day, then after finishing ordering and paying the rent, Ryouta began to head to his room for rest. A few hours passed, he suddenly woke up hearing people were discussing about some adventurers who disappeared while going hunting in the forest at night.

"It looks like I have to help them, yosh it's time to act" he said out of his room and told the innkeeper that he would be out for a while.

After exiting the inn, he rushed into the forest to look for the missing adventurer. Upon arriving in the dark forest, Ryouta begins to sense that some enemies are approaching quickly.

"It seems like there are some enemies approaching, I should hurry to find the adventurers before them, Night Vision," Ryouta said using his skill to see well in the dark.

After exploring the forest for a long time, he found several fainted and injured adventurers, without thinking of anything Ryouta used his Ice Wall magic to protect them. After he finished protecting them, he began to go to hunt the monsters.

"Yosh it looks like they're safe here, it's time to hunt down the monster."

A few hours passed after Ryouta said that he was going to hunt monsters, some Goblins and Orcs came and surrounded him.

"It's too easy, you're no match for me."

After the fight was over, he decided to return to the inn, but as he was about to walk towards the exit of the forest, four shurikens floated towards him, and Ryouta quickly replaced his Black Scythe of Abyss with Gregory Shield to withstand the shuriken's attack.

From a distance, three girls were surrounded by him and tried to catch him, but not until a few minutes of fighting, the three of them had been defeated first by Ryouta.

************************************

The next morning, after the incident last night, he decided to take a short walk around Deltras' work, then as he walked into a tavern, the three girls who attacked him last night appeared again, but this time they were with a long blonde girl with blonde and brown fox ears at the ends started to point her sword towards Ryouta while saying,

"As Michi, Reene and Miyuki said, you were the suspicious person who attacked them, give up now, otherwise you'll regret it," said the girl with a sharp look towards him.

"I refuse, I'm not wrong anyway."

"Alright if that's what you say, be prepared to accept the consequences."

"Alright, it seems like I can play a little with you, go ahead," Ryouta told the girl.

Fighting began to occur between them, but when going on a counterattack, the girl also remembered the form of Ryouta's weapon, which she had, then he stopped attacking and dropped his weapon and ran to hug Ryouta, saying,

"Onii-chan, I know that one day you will definitely come back here, and meet me."

"Don't you be Rui?"

"You're right onii-chan, it's me Rui, it's been a long time since onii-chan left I started to feel lonely, ah but now onii-chan is back, I'm so happy to meet up with onii-chan again" Rui said as she hugged Ryouta.

"Yes... Ano, I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion, but chief, can you explain what happened" Reene told Rui.

"Well, if you're here, I'll tell you everything."

************************************

After hearing the story from Rui, the three of them were amazed by Ryouta's ability, and after hearing the story, Miyuki looked at Ryouta and said,

"Shisho, please teach me to be stronger," Miyuki said as she lowered her head.

"I also want to be trained by Ryouta-san to become stronger," replied Reene who also wanted to become stronger.

"I think I also need to practice, because my current skills are still not enough" Michi said, clenching her hands.

"Onii-chan, what if we all train at the royal palace of Deltras, maybe Miss Chisaki can come to train us with you" Rui said.

"Ah... Well, I don't think that's a bad idea, but I think I can train you guys this afternoon how?"

"That's a good idea onii-chan, we'll be waiting for you later in the afternoon in the forest."

In the afternoon, Ryouta and his party had gathered outside the forest not far from the palace, and from there the training began.

"Well the training this time is to train your sneaking skills, the rules are simple, you should be able to attack me silently without a sound and also try to hide your truth from me," ryouta explained the rules for their training.

"It looks like it's quite easy, I'm sure we can win this quickly" Reene said with confidence.

"I don't think you know anything about the onii-chan's training, you can't easily attack him secretly."

"It will definitely be easy, Ryouta-san has many loopholes to attack, and it seems like he doesn't look too wary of the surroundings."

"I don't think we'll be able to win easily, even though Shisho has a lot of loopholes, but I feel that he's hiding something" said Miyuki, who was wary and suspicious of Ryouta's movements.

"Alright, it looks like you're ready, let's start the training."

After saying so, Rui and her party started to split up and enter the forest while trying to hide their truth.

"Yosh looks like I'll be the first to win this," said Reene confidently moving quickly to attack Ryouta.

"As I expected, you're overconfident and don't feel the slightest suspicion of me" he said, repelling an attack from Reene and slamming her to the ground.

"As I thought, Shisho was indeed planning something, even though he had a lot of attack loopholes, but we couldn't possibly get close to him" said Miyuki who was still hiding and waiting for the right time to attack.

"It's almost dark, well I think they'll be much better at night" said Ryouta, who began to wait for Rui and the others to attack.

When it was getting dark, Michi who was not hiding faced Ryouta and said,

"I'm not the type to hide, so I want to fight you with a punch."

"Well if that's what you want, let's do it."

A few hours after each other's blows, Michi who admitted defeat said,

"It seems I still need to train my strength, because now I'm still too weak."

"I think you just need to strengthen your martial technique, this exercise is to make you learn from the experience of the mistakes you made" Ryouta reached out his hand to help Michi stand up.

After helping her up, it was seen that Miyuki managed to carry out an attack against her, but Ryouta said to her,

"Your speed and silence are good enough, but you get too carried away, and then you forget to increase your alertness" he said, then counterattacked Miyuki and locked her movements.

"Alright, I think now it's Rui, I hope he can learn from the mistakes of the three of you," Ryouta said as he waited for Rui to appear.

While waiting, several shurikens sprung up from behind the trees as the opening attack.

"It's better than I expected, using shuriken as both an opening and a distraction attack, you're really great Rui, but it won't be long, Light Shoot." The light arrows were shot into the air to illuminate the area around the dark forest to make it easier to find Rui.

When Ryouta thinks that Rui is in the forest, some shuriken are thrown again to distract and when the shuriken is thrown for the second time, it looks like one of Rui's katana is also thrown, then he emerged from behind Ryouta, saying,

"It looks like I won this time onii-chan."

"You're too soon to say it's Rui, because it's not over yet." Ryouta turned his body around and began to try to lock onto Rui's movements.

"I'm not the Rui I used to be onii-chan, I'm much stronger than I used to be, and it's time to show you the skill I learned myself, Replay," after Rui mentioned the word Replay, he escaped from Ryouta and began to hold Ryouta's arm and dropped his sword on the ground.

"I won with this, right? Onii-chan," he said with a smile.

"Ah... You're really great Rui, this is the first time I've been defeated by you, and with this I think training this time is over."
