Anime Crossover: I, the Shadow King, slaughter my way through DanMachi!

Ram bit her lip, finally took a deep breath, and bowed to Ying Ping: "I'm sorry, guest, I was rude just now, please forgive me."

After saying that, she turned around and left the living room quickly without waiting for Ying Ping's response, her back view even looking somewhat disheveled.

After Ram left, Emilia breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Yingping apologetically: "Mr. Shadow, I'm so sorry, Ram isn't usually like this... She might not be in a good mood today..."

Yingping waved his hand and laughed, "It's alright, I actually find it quite interesting. Besides, seeing Miss Ram's vivid expressions is a reward for me too."

"award?"

Emilia paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Mr. Shadow is really strange..."

"Most people would be angry if they were treated like that, right?"

"Because I know that Miss Ram doesn't really hate me."

Yingping smiled and said, "She was just standing on Emilia's side and thought I was a bit suspicious. She was just testing me, so Ram is a qualified and good maid."

"Is that so?"

Emilia blinked, then said seriously, "In any case, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of Ram. Also... what has Mr. Shadow thought about the suggestion from earlier?"

Her purplish-blue eyes were filled with anticipation, and her fingers unconsciously twisted together, clearly caring a lot about Yingping's answer.

Seeing her nervous expression, Yingping couldn't help but laugh: "Since Miss Emilia has invited me so sincerely, of course I'm willing to do my duty. Why wouldn't I make money?"

"Really? That's great!"

Emilia's face lit up with a smile, her whole demeanor brightening. "From today onwards, you are my knight!"

"knight?"

Ying Ping raised an eyebrow. "Me? I thought it would be a position like a guard or an advisor."

"Because Mr. Shadow is fine..."

Emilia's cheeks flushed slightly. "I think Mr. Shadow would be perfect as a knight... Besides, knight sounds cooler and more formal..."

(Ah, what an adorable reaction...)

Yingping couldn't help but reach out and rub her head: "Alright, then I'll respectfully accept your offer, Lady Emilia."

Emilia was taken aback by his action, and then her whole face turned red. But she didn't dodge away. Instead, she muttered softly, "...Nice to meet you, Shadow Knight."

(Wang Xuan, the Witch Cult, the Archbishop of Sin... From now on, I will completely rewrite the story of this world.)

Yingping gazed at the bright sunshine outside the window, a eager smile playing on his lips.

After enjoying the lunch prepared by Ram.

(Although the cooking was really mediocre, Yingping still politely finished his meal.)

Emilia and Yingping chatted a lot at the dinner table, and their relationship became much closer.

Emilia recounted her past life in the forest, her journey to becoming a candidate for the royal selection, and her current dreams.

Ying Ping then fabricated some stories of his travels, occasionally interspersed with some true adventure tales, which made Emilia's eyes sparkle.

Meanwhile, Ram stood to the side the whole time, pouring tea with a blank expression.

Every time she poured tea for Yingping, she would deliberately fill the cup very full, or slam the kettle down with a loud thud.

Yingping didn't mind at all, and instead smiled and nodded to her in thanks: "Thank you for the tea, Miss Strawberry."

A vein throbbed on Ram's cute face, but with Emilia present, he could only let out a cold snort and refrain from making a scene.

After the meal, Emilia took Yingping to the Royal City Guard to register his knighthood.

"Mr. Shadow, we'll need to fill out some forms later, is that alright?"

Emilia asked.

Yingping shrugged: "Sorry, although I can read, I'm not very good at writing."

"Oh, okay, then I'll fill it out for you."

Emilia gently took the form and began to fill it out carefully.

After checking, the guard nodded: "No problem, please come with me to the castle to complete the formalities."

Upon entering the castle, the 14 clerks briefly verified Ying Ping's identity.

After confirming that he was neither a cultist nor a wanted criminal, the application was stamped and approved.

Winning a draw was somewhat unexpected—

He had thought the identity verification would be more stringent.

But then I thought about it again. The level of civilization in this world is still at the medieval level. In addition, the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Lugnica are corrupt, and there are many subhuman races. Naturally, the population management is not very strict.

Next comes the complicated oath-taking ceremony and baptism process.

Yingping patiently completed each task one by one, until the last one—

"Next up are the swordsmanship and physical fitness tests."

The clerk said, "Given Lady Emilia's special status, this test will be conducted personally by Lord Julius, the most outstanding knight of the Royal Guard."

"Julius, the best knight?"

Yingping's heart skipped a beat.

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in a magnificent knight's outfit walked in.

He had short purple hair, a handsome face, and exuded elegance and confidence in every gesture.

This person is none other than Julius, the Elf Knight, a top combatant of the Lugnica Kingdom's Knights Order.

"Lady Emilia, it's been a long time. You are as beautiful and charming as ever."

Julius smiled and bowed, then turned his gaze to Ying Ping, "Is this your knight?"

Emilia nodded: "Yes, Mr. Julius, thank you for your help."

Julius scrutinized Ying Ping, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Mr. Shadow, is that right?"

"I heard that Lady Emilia recommended you because you subdued the out-of-control earth dragon with one hand. Your strength is admirable."

Ying Ping smiled faintly: "You flatter me. It was just good luck."

"lucky?"

Julius raised an eyebrow, seemingly displeased, but quickly regained his composure.

"Then, please come with me to the training ground."

Julius gestured for them to proceed, his eyes sharpening: "Let me see just how strong a knight is who has caught the eye of Lady Emilia."

"Please lead the way."

Ying Ping's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

In the training grounds of the Kingdom Knights, various training equipment are neatly arranged all around.

Dozens of knights were practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of their instructors, the sounds of metal clashing echoing throughout the room.

When Ying Ping and Julius entered the training field, the previously noisy area immediately quieted down.

The knights stopped what they were doing and looked at them with curiosity.

Yingping looked around, his gaze sweeping over the unfamiliar faces, but he couldn't spot that iconic red figure.

(It seems the Sword Saint Reinhard isn't here...)

Amidst the whispers, Yingping keenly noticed the obvious disgust in the eyes of many knights as they looked at Emilia.

Emilia unconsciously shrugged, but still forced an encouraging smile at Ying Ping: "Mr. Shadow, please do your best, but don't push yourself too hard..."

"rest assured."

Yingping gently patted her shoulder, "It'll be fine, it'll be over soon."

After Emilia retreated to the sidelines, Julius took two wooden training swords from the weapon rack and tossed one of them to Yingping.

"Mr. Shadow".

Julius flicked his wrist, and the wooden sword drew a graceful arc in the air as he assumed a fighting stance: "Since you want to become Lady Emilia's knight, the road ahead must be full of thorns."

"Then in this assessment, I will show you absolutely no mercy. Please let me witness your determination."

Ying Ping casually caught the wooden sword and weighed it in his hand: "Well said, I'm happy to oblige."

Once the two were in position, the instructor on the sidelines raised his hand and shouted, "The assessment begins!"

Before he finished speaking, Julius's figure had already rushed over like an arrow released from a bow.

The purple-haired knight moved so fast he almost left a blur, his wooden sword aimed straight for Ying Ping's throat—

If this attack hits, it would be enough to knock an ordinary person unconscious on the spot.

However, in Yingping's clear-eyed worldview, Julius's movements seemed to be slowed down tenfold.

He could clearly see every tremor of the other person's muscles, the changes in their internal organs during breathing, as well as the flow of blood and the movement of their bones.

Even before Julius made a move, he could predict the trajectory of the attack.

"Not fast enough."

Ying Ping closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and without even moving his feet, the wooden sword grazed past the tips of his hair.

"What!?"

Julius's pupils contracted, and he immediately changed his move to a horizontal slash.

But as if he had expected, Ying Ping slightly turned his upper body to the side, and the wooden sword missed its mark by a hair's breadth once again.

"what happened?!"

A knight on the sidelines exclaimed, "Lord Julius's attacks missed twice?"

[He actually closed his eyes! This person is ridiculously strong!]

Julius frowned, and with all his might, his offensive suddenly accelerated.

His figure constantly changed position on the field, and his wooden sword launched attacks from various tricky angles.

But no matter how he changed his tactics, Yingping could always easily dodge them with minimal effort.

"This is impossible..."

After a prolonged and unsuccessful attack, Julius's forehead was beaded with sweat.

His prized swordsmanship was easily seen through by this mysterious man, as if it were child's play.

This feeling of powerlessness was only experienced when facing the invincible monster of the Knights, the Sword Saint Reinhard...

"Looks like I'll have to show some real skill."

Julius instantly activated six elemental spells to assist him, and his sword speed increased dramatically once again!

However-

Ying Ping remained standing still, dodging with minimal movement, but his dodging speed increased several times, almost becoming a blur.

His black hair fluttered in the wind, a faint smile playing on his lips, as if he were singing, dancing, rapping, or playing basketball, his movements gradually becoming increasingly bizarre.

"Just who is that person?!"

"Lord Julius's attack was completely seen through!"

"Did you notice? That man... didn't move an inch!"

The knights watching gasped in surprise.

"My God, is that really something a human could do?"

Emilia's cyan eyes widened, and her small hands unconsciously covered her mouth.

Julius's forehead was beaded with sweat, and his offensive grew increasingly fierce.

But no matter how he changed his tactics, Yingping always managed to dodge them by the slightest margin.

Three minutes passed, and he hadn't even managed to touch the hem of Yingping's clothes!

After several unsuccessful attacks, Ying Ping delivered a powerful shoulder strike to Julius, saying, "This game of make-believe is over."
