Two options, two paths.
The members of the Knights really realize that this is the choice that determines the future of the team.
The scene was silent again.
"Senior... No, what does the leader want to do?" Xingxiu asked first.
"I choose to fight." Seiji replied calmly.
"Protecting the people, guarding the city, and gaining benefits are all reasons."
"But the fundamental reason is that I want to fight!"
It's not for profit or for protection, it's just to join in this war.
Of course, interests are important, and protection is also important. Seiji would not have risked his life to fight if there was no benefit or meaning to protect.
But in the final analysis, the reason why he participated in the war was that he didn't want to miss such a big battle.
It's not that he doesn't care about benefits and protection, but in the final analysis, he is satisfying his selfish desires.
Just like a famous anime character in the previous life, he saved the world more than once, but his fundamental motivation for fighting is to compete with the strong, so he can even let go of the powerful enemy who threatened the world who was still fighting to the death just now Such an incredible thing.
Although there may be factors that the manga author forced the supporting character to live, at least it shows that the character is a martial idiot. It is not incomprehensible for a person who fights because he wants to fight against the strong to let go of the enemy, because if he is killed, he can no longer (play) fight (play).
There is such an advantage in setting the protagonist as a Wu Chi. Enemies that have been fought can be fought again, saving the effort of conceiving new villains. If the readers get tired of reading it, let the villain transform or form a group, etc., and it can be delayed for a while.
Setting the protagonist as a benevolent person or adhering to the belief of not killing people, etc., can also have the same effect. It not only stands for benevolence and justice, but also saves the effort of creating a new villain, which is quite useful.
So don't always talk about the protagonist's halo, the villain also has a halo!
Especially the popular villains, no matter how badly they are beaten, they can survive, if they can't survive, they can be resurrected, if they can't be resurrected, they can appear in parallel worlds, and they are often even worse than the protagonist...
Cough, that's a long way off.
In short, Seiji's fundamental reason for participating in the war is that he wants to do so, which is similar to Wu Chi's meaning, or the so-called "hero driven by interest".
But in the eyes of others, it means refusing to escape, facing it bravely, being strong and fearless...
Feeling his aura, realizing his will, for a moment, he felt as if he was shining.
Xia Ye, Xiaoshi, Mika, Ziji, Xingxiu, Fengwu, Dai, Kaori... almost all the girls present had their eyes flickering, and memories of their experiences with Seiji appeared in their minds.
Wait a minute, something seems wrong
Forget it, don't care.
"My choice is willful, so I don't mean to ask everyone to follow." Seiji continued, scanning the crowd, "I hope everyone can make their own choices...or more directly, I hope everyone chooses to leave, don't be like me Stay and fight."
The knights were surprised.
"Because we are too weak..." Tomohisa pushed his glasses.
"No, you're not weak." Seiji denied, "It's just too fast."
"Although you have almost all combat experience and performed well, it is still too soon to join the war in this crisis."
"You need more time to grow, not only to become stronger in strength, but also to be mentally stable... I think so."
The "trial" of Ziji and Masaki should not be underestimated. Their condition has not yet stabilized, and other people may have a similar situation within this half month... Even if the awakened ones are strong enough, the spiritual level is also worrying.
"So in fact, we still think we are weak." Zi Ji said.
Hearing this, everyone looked at her.
"I hope we leave, because I think we're not strong enough, so there's no need to hide it." Zi Ji looked at Seiji and said.
"... You can say that, but I really don't think you guys are weak." Seiji sighed.
"I'm sorry... my tone was a little bit bad. But you wanted to stay and let us go, which makes me feel uncomfortable." Ziji folded her arms, "I thought we were going to make a team choice."
"It's me who should apologize, I'm sorry...but that's what I think." Seiji faced the crowd, "I want to stay and fight, but I don't think you are ready yet. I hope you can avoid this crisis."
"What if we want to stay?" Meijia asked.
"I will ask you to think carefully. As I said just now, there is no shame in avoiding a crisis, otherwise it means risking your life." Seiji said seriously, "You don't need to be self-willed with me."
"Suddenly I feel that the leader is not qualified to say that I..." Xingxiu said with a subtle expression on his face, "I think I can return the words that the leader said to me last time."
"What else?" Seiji glared at him.
The handsome boy who was stared at shrank his neck.
Seeing this scene, Zhijiu laughed, Meijia and Hexin also laughed, and even the corners of Xiaoshi's mouth curved slightly.
Seiji pretended not to see it.
"What's going on?" Zi Ji blinked.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Seiji waved his hand, "Anyway...cough, I've basically said everything I wanted to say."
"The right to choose is in your own hands." He faced everyone seriously.
"If you leave, I support it. If you want to stay, I will ask for consideration."
"Sorry for doing this to everyone... sorry."
Seiji sincerely apologized for his willful behavior.
The knights looked at each other.
"To be honest, I feel as unhappy as Ice and Fire Knight, because the king didn't show the majesty he should have." Tomohisa said, "Whether you leave or stay, the king makes a decision, and the knights obey, but let the knights obey." We make choices."
"This is not good...but it can also be seen as a test of the king for the knights."
"Whether to leave according to the king's wishes, or to stay and fight against the king's wishes... For such a choice, my answer is—"
He stood up from his seat, clenched his fist with his right hand to his chest, and made a salute posture of "giving his heart".
"Leave!"
A voice of firm will came from the mouth of the otaku with blond hair and glasses.
"Even if it violates the king's wishes, we must fight together with the king! This is my answer!!"
The tone is secondary, but there is no joy at all, and it is surprisingly powerful.
Coupled with his salute posture, it really shows a solemn meaning.
Everyone was stunned.
"Tomohisa..." Seiji looked at the number one knight.
He couldn't say the advice to ask the other party to think carefully again.
"...Thank you." This is the only thing that can be said.
Tomohisa smiled back, then bowed slightly, like a real knight saluting, and then sat back in his seat.
The second grade of joking is funny, so what is the second grade of seriousness
The blond otaku showed off to the people present.
Seeing this, Zi Ji and the others subverted their perception of the number one knight.
His meaningful words also made them pay attention.
King's test...
