Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

"These are the textbooks for the majors I chose in college. They have my notes and annotations from back then. Take a look and see if you can understand them."

Laira dumped the large bag of books she was carrying onto the table.

Jiang Ning stared at the thick wall of books, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"These...these are all?"

"hold head high.

Oh right, this is only part of it. I didn't bring the elective books with me. I'll see if I can have them delivered by interstellar courier later.

"besides?!!"

Jiang Ning lay face down on the table, his soul seemingly flying out from the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, you're the one who said you wanted extra lessons."

"I took time out of my busy schedule to guide you, and you're already backing down?"

Leila poked Jiang Ning on the back of the head in dissatisfaction.

Has this era really become like this...?

Destroy it all, I'm tired.

Despite grumbling, Jiang Ning still shakily pulled out a book from the pile and started flipping through it.

Jiang Ning's eyes quickly scanned each knowledge section, and a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

With the aid of [divine talent], knowledge was deeply rooted in Jiang Ning's mind as if carved by a knife.

Only now did Jiang Ning truly understand the abnormal nature of [divine talent].

Truly worthy of being an SSS-level talent.

After a moment, Jiang Ning closed the book and savored every detail.

Laira rested her chin on her hand and looked at Jiang Ning with a teasing expression.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ningzi? Giving up already?"

"I can't blame you. This knowledge is indeed very difficult. Even I, your older sister, spent more than half a year mastering the main parts."

Jiang Ning slowly opened her eyes, tossed the book in her hand aside, and then reached for the next one.

Lai stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Ning's arm, speaking with a resentful tone.

"No, don't throw it away if you don't understand! Start learning little by little, don't do this..."

Jiang Ning tilted his head to the side, then gently slapped away Laiira's hand that was gripping his forearm.

"I've finished that one, now for the next one."

Jiang Ning pulled out another book from the pile, one that was almost twice as thick as the previous one, and quickly began to read it.

"?"

Leira frowned slightly.

"Finished learning? Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Ning put down the book in his hand and looked up at Leila.

"Really, you can test me if you don't believe me."

"Okay, okay, then listen to me."

Suppose we have..., and under the condition that..., how would we solve for...?

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"First..., then..., and finally, just apply the energy conversion formula and remove the loss value."

—There's a similar one on page 73 of the book.

Jiang Ning added casually.

"?"

Laira's gaze was blank.

Dude, are you really that good?

Jiang Ning showed no sign of pride and immediately immersed himself in the knowledge of the next book.

When [Divine Talent] is triggered, it greatly enhances Jiang Ning's concentration, which is why he is so efficient.

"Wait a minute! I'll test you again!"

Laira picked up the book Jiang Ning had just thrown aside, randomly flipped to a page, and after some deliberation, wrote down a new question for Jiang Ning on the paper.

Jiang Ning took the test paper from Leila, glanced at it briefly, and then picked up a pen and started writing.

Leila looked at Jiang Ning, who was writing furiously, with some unease, feeling a strange discomfort in her heart.

Could it be... that this guy is really that amazing?

You think you can learn it all after just one glance? You're kidding me!

This was the most difficult question in the exam for the major I chose in university. How could the other person solve it so easily?

But reality dealt Leira a devastating blow.

A short while later, Jiang Ning handed the test paper back intact.

Leira took it somewhat nervously and began to check it step by step.

Laira's eyes widened, her sapphire blue pupils trembling like a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"Jiangning!!"

Jiang Ning was suddenly called by name and put down the half-read document in his hand with some confusion.

"What? I'm very busy."

Ignoring Jiang Ning's complaints, Laira gritted her teeth and said.

"Are you making fun of me? You already knew all this, didn't you?!"

"Huh? You think I have nothing better to do? I really just started learning this; I've never seen any of this knowledge in the books before..."

"Then how do you explain something like you can learn it just by looking at it once? I don't believe anyone in the world has that kind of talent!"

Jiang Ning scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and spoke.

"What if?"

You know, everyone's constitution is different...

"you!!"

Laila was speechless for a moment, and the grievances and resentment in her heart surged up like a flood.

Those beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears, which gradually began to seep out.

"Hey, no?! Why are you crying? Is your mentality that bad?"

"...Did you really cry? Let me see."

Jiang Ning dropped the book in his hand and cheekily moved closer to Laiira.

"Get out of here! How can there be such a vile person like you in this world!"

Laira's voice was choked with sobs as she pushed Jiang Ning away, rubbing the corner of her eye with her other hand.

"What the heck...tsk, women are so hard to deal with..."

Jiang Ning looked at the tearful Leila with a sense of helplessness. As a man, his limited manners told him that he couldn't just stand by and watch.

So Jiang Ning moved closer to Laira again.

"Okay, I'll tell you a little secret, then don't cry, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Leila responded somewhat irritably.

"Secret? What does your secret have to do with me?"

"Don't be so quick to refuse~ I guarantee you'll be interested. Actually... I'm not a staff member on the space station."

I'm a Kamen Rider, the kind who protects the peace of the universe.

"Kamen Rider?"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar and somewhat childish name, Leila felt a mix of emotions and managed to stop her tears.

"It's that two-colored monster who saved the space station a few days ago. His name is Kamen Rider Build, or you can call him Build Rider. He's one of my current identities."

Jiang Ning patted his chest triumphantly, seemingly enjoying the thrill of showing off in front of others.

The atmosphere froze eerily.

Then, a silvery laugh broke the silence.

"Hahaha—you? Save the Black Tower Space Station? Kamen Rider?"

Laila buried her head in her arms to hide her out-of-control facial expression.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?! I'm being serious, okay?!"

"I'm...I'm sorry, I couldn't help it...hahaha..."

Kamen Rider... I never expected... I never expected you to give yourself such a chuunibyou (delusional) name.

With your skinny arms and legs, you think you can take down an entire antimatter army with a single punch? Then I'm an annihilation army; a snap of my fingers could destroy half the universe!

Jiang Ning stared at Laila, who was laughing so hard she was convulsing, with a dark expression.

"Fine, don't believe me then. You've wasted my sincere feelings."

After recovering, Leila patted Jiang Ning, who was sulking with his back turned.

"Okay, you silly inventor, I won't laugh at you anymore."

"I'll forgive you this time, since you went to so much trouble to make me laugh."

Jiang Ning impatiently slapped Leila's hand away.

"You still haven't sent a letter?!"

"I believe you, really..."

"Then stop trying to hold back your laughter!!"

"I'm sorry... I couldn't help it..."

"You ** (space station slang)"
