Chapter 1161: Chapter 402: Not Villainous Enough, Not Sinister Enough

Wayne Manor, the backyard.

The Owl Ah Xue perched on a branch, its feline eyes wide and round.

Unlike other nocturnal felines, the Snowy Owl, also known as the White Owl, prefers being active during the day. A white cat crouching on a tree seems perfectly natural.

Not far away, Knight Teacher Valkyrie was instructing Viley in gunmanship.

Old Knight Valkyrie was proficient in all eighteen types of martial arts; she could wield the sword on foot and heft the lance on horseback, not to mention staff and shield. Teaching gunmanship was just another of her renowned skills.

As for why she put aside the Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique to study gunmanship, the reason was simple.

Back in the Inverted World, thanks to Wayne, Dreyne had met the Sun Knight William. William was optimistic, a veritable paragon of positivity, and due to his love of cards, Dreyne took quite a liking to him.

He’s a cool guy with solid pecs. Back in the Outer World, we’ll continue our card games.

Say one thing but mean another, William became Viley.

Dreyne grew even fonder of her, and upon rotating back to the Icebound Continent, he explained the situation to the current Sun Knight Leo. Firstly, he genuinely admired Viley, and secondly...

If Leo had a new successor, he wouldn’t fight her for Wayne anymore.

At first, Leo was skeptical. Before a mission to the Inverted World, he went to Lundan to see Knight Entourage couple Cushin. Learning that their daughter was exactly Viley and that she was in a romantic relationship with Wayne, Leo decided to give Viley a chance to prove herself.

Since I’m here, might as well give it a try.

After one try, Viley indeed received the recognition of the Dawn Admonition, proving herself to be an outstanding Sun Knight successor.

At this moment, Leo started to see Viley’s immediate circle in a new light.

The Envoy of the Sun Goddess, Dragon-slaying Knight Mentor, Knight Entourage parents, Knight successor boyfriend...

With such backing, the Sun Goddess had clearly shown her hand!

In Dreyne’s words, if Viley wasn’t the Sun Knight, he’d eat the Dawn Admonition.

Raw, without water!

Leo took quite a shine to Viley. Considering Cushin a brother, by extension, Viley was somewhat like a daughter to him. He specially coached her for three days and afterward entrusted the task of training the successor to Valkyrie.

Elder, this child is in your hands now. Make sure to develop her into an outstanding Sun Knight.

In entrusting Valkyrie, Leo made such a request, and she solemnly promised, swearing to cultivate Viley properly rather than be as implicitly righteous as someone else.

There’s no such thing as ’pure’ or ’impure’ when it comes to God-chosen Knights. Being plumped up by Wayne into a cream puff did not affect Viley’s qualification as the Knight of the Sun Goddess. However, having spent too much time by Wayne’s side, it was inevitable that she’d pick up some undesirable habits.

In Valkyrie’s view, Viley had quite a few small faults: playful, easily distracted, fond of cutting corners, relying on her charms to get by, adept at the Mental Victory Technique. Although optimistic and kind-hearted, her determination and ambition were both severely lacking.

A girl of this age would be more passionate about romance than magic.

This needed correction!

Then came Viley’s days of hardship, practicing gunmanship from dawn to dusk, and even during rest times, she had to study the virtues of Knights. If not for the Dawn Admonition’s dragon-slaying power ensuring that becoming the Sun Knight would let her drive away the Evil Dragon and monopolize the Princess, she would have already given up.

Err, she had wanted to give up long ago, but just didn’t have the guts.

Valkyrie was overly strict, with her teaching whip whipping through the air fiercely. Between slacking off and being obedient, Viley chose to follow her heart’s will.

"Time’s up, five-minute break."

"Yay!"

No sooner had Valkyrie finished speaking than Viley tossed away the stick in her hand and collapsed to the ground without any grace.

"Get up, rest while standing."

"Oh..."

Valkyrie came forward with her teaching whip, and upon seeing Viley’s sloppy stance, she raised her hand and a whip struck out.

Viley jumped up with an "Ow!" clutching her bottom in pain.

Even Wayne never hit her that hard!

Blinking her watery, big eyes, Viley looked up at Valkyrie, trying to act cute to gain some sympathy.

The effect was mediocre. Wayne was Wayne, and Valkyrie was Valkyrie. The Knight Teacher big sister was not taken in by such antics: "If you keep playing cute, today’s training will double."

"I won’t dare again."

Viley: (╥˘‸˘╥)

Seeing Viley obediently standing up, Valkyrie nodded in satisfaction. Teaching students shouldn’t be all about harshness; sometimes you need to offer praise to enhance their enthusiasm.

"Viley, you’ve made rapid progress these past two days. You’ve already mastered the essence of that gunmanship routine."

"Wayne taught me."

"Wayne?"

"Yeah, he showed me hands-on."

Viley said proudly. Chris was practically useless, Veronica was nothing but a stubbornly proud woman—one couldn’t bear hardships, the other wouldn’t. Only she was bold yet meticulous, durable and long-lasting, hence she learned good stick technique and managed to spin the lance beautifully.

Valkyrie, surprised, said: "Wayne knows gunmanship too, and he taught you?"

"He’s super awesome. Teacher, if you’re interested, you could spar with him."

"Perhaps..."

Valkyrie nodded thoughtfully, saying seriously: "Wayne has been recognized by Dawn Admonition and trained by Knight Leo. He has a foundation in gunmanship and indeed is qualified to teach you. If there’s a chance, I will join him in training you."

As Valkyrie earnestly spoke of Wayne’s gunmanship skills, Viley felt not an ounce of joy in teasing her big sister.

Thinking about Chris’s grumbling, she suddenly found it extremely apt. These antique big sisters, despite being pretty, having larger chests, and longer legs, were each more innocent than the last.

...

"Tsk tsk tsk, Viley will surely achieve greatness in the future!"

Wayne stood at the second-floor study window, watching Viley below daringly risk her life, thinking of the muscular guy he initially met, as well as the little Sun from the Inverted World.
