Chapter 5: The Guardian of Humanity! Glory of the Knight!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

His father had always been a tough and relentless man in Moss’s mind. He was the kind of man who would not frown even when he encountered great difficulties. He would only choose to resist silently.

At this moment, the glorious aura on his father’s body faded. Perhaps due to the guilt of dragging Moss down because of his injury, he revealed his weak side.

At this moment, the person in front of Moss was no longer the solid father figure. Instead, it was a middle-aged man who had just recovered from a severe injury and blamed himself for almost ruining his child’s future.

“Dad, don’t say that.”

Moss hurriedly stopped his father from blaming himself.

Although he had felt regretful about choosing Knight over other powerful classes, he had never blamed his father for it.

These 16 years’ worth of familial love was not something any class could replace.

“Dad, no one could have predicted a Magical Beast attack. As long as you can come back safely, mom and I have nothing else to ask for. Besides, I don’t think there are any weak classes in this world. There are only weak people. I might even be able to surpass others by relying on my hard work when I change my class.”

Moss’s sincere words eased his father’s expression, and his father’s body relaxed a little.

All this while, Moss’ father felt guilty and blamed himself for dragging down his family. This matter had turned into an enormous burden in his heart.

Now that he knew that his son did not blame him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Moss, I’m thrilled that you think this way. You’ve grown up.”

Moss realized that his father was much more relaxed now. He had walked out of that self-blaming mood.

It seemed that he had been successfully moved by the attitude in Moss’ words just now.

That was enough. Moss’s goal had been achieved.

At this moment, Moss’s father suddenly asked, “Moss, do you know what your grandfather’s class is?”

Moss was stunned. He remembered that he had heard his father mention this news before, so he answered, “He was also a Knight.”

Moss’ father nodded and agreed with this answer.

Then he asked again, “Do you know your great-grandfather’s class?”

Moss did not know. He could only shake his head.

Moss’ father revealed a slight smile and said, “Your great-grandfather’s class was also a Knight.”

Moss was stunned. He seemed to have caught onto something that his father wanted.

However, his father did not give him too much time to think and directly answer him.

“It’s not just your grandfather or great-grandfather. Our family has been going back more than a hundred years before the mutation happened. Our family has always been a family of Knights. Our family’s ancestors were one of the first batches for this class.”

This news surprised Moss. This was the first time he had heard it. His father had never talked about his family’s history in front of him. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m

He did not expect his family to be a Knight family that had been passed down to this day. But why did his father suddenly talk about this to him?

Moss saw his father fall silent for a moment. His gaze was complicated, as if he was reminiscing, but also feeling emotional.

Then, he said, “Knights used to be a very glorious class. It was the first class that humanity was born with. It was born from the desire of humans to fight against Magical Beasts and protect themselves. It was the starting point and the source of all classes.

“In that era where Magical Beasts were rampant, and humanity was facing a catastrophe, it was the Knights who stood out and formed the first wall of flesh and blood to resist them. At that time, countless powerhouses were born among the Knights.

“In that era, everyone wanted to become Knights. The Knights risked their lives and protected everyone one after another.”

At this point, Moss’ father suddenly stopped and revealed a slightly disappointed expression.

Moss came to a sudden realization.

His father was lamenting that the Knight class, which had been passed down in the family for over a hundred years, would come to an end in his generation.

From the initial hope of protecting humanity, it had fallen to the current situation of being abandoned by others.

Presumably, no one is more qualified than his father, who had passed down the same class in the family for over a hundred years.

Perhaps influenced by his father’s lamentation, Moss suddenly thought of a question and could not help but ask, “Father, are you saying that there were once strong Knights?”

Moss’s father nodded happily, hearing Moss’s question.

“Yes, in the era when everyone became Knights, there were also many strong ones. Even after the number of other classes gradually increased, the number of strong Knights far exceeded the number of other classes combined.”

Moss found it hard to imagine such a scene. After all, from the moment he was born in this world, he was told that Knights were a weak class.

“Then why are there no such strong Knights now?”

Moss’ father had thought about this question for a long time. Thus, he immediately answered, “That’s because it takes too long for Knights to become strong. In this current era, very few people are willing to train this class. Too many classes are stronger in the early stages or can be upgraded faster.

“It’s not that there are no more strong Knights, but there are no more young people willing to put in the effort to strengthen this class. Among the older generation of Knights, some are still stronger than the other classes.”

His father’s words changed Moss’ impression of the Knight class considerably.

It was just as he thought. There were only weak people and no weak classes.

At this point, Moss’ father laughed at himself.

“These are all ancient history now. The Knight class has also been swept away by the dust of history. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“Moss, I want to tell you that the elders in your family and I have never regretted choosing to be a Knight. We are proud of this, but in this era, I don’t want you to make the same choice as me.”

Moss nodded in the face of his father’s sincere expression.

It was rare for him to reveal his true feelings. The father and son continued to talk until it was time for them to sleep.

At night, Moss was lying in his room on his bed.

His mind was filled with complicated thoughts. He couldn’t stop thinking about the Class Change Scroll from Aisha, the heart-to-heart talk with his father, and the class awakening that would be coming tomorrow.

Right at this moment, an unfamiliar mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

“Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the Unlimited Class Evolution System!”
