On the training grounds, a [Hero Unit] was performing all sorts of flashy maneuvers—its pilot was Young Master [Wild].
Bored by the wait, Young Master [Wild] had requested a [Hero Mecha] to pass the time.
The [God-Slaying Armor] assigned to Young Master [Wild] was still on its way back, though it would arrive soon.
To retrieve it, [Li Long] had been forced to visit the [Jinxiu] base once more. He had personally extracted the [God-Slaying Armor] from Patrick, who was on the verge of a breakdown, severed its binding, and sealed it away.
Great Leader Di Ren had clearly given up on Patrick, so he had refused Li Guo's demand that he come in person to retrieve the knight.
But when [Li Long] returned to the [Jinxiu] base this time, he did not see Li Guo. She seemed to have left—retrieving the [God-Slaying Armor], on the other hand, went extremely smoothly.
With his [God-Slaying Armor] reclaimed, Knight Patrick, who had secretly slacked off and amused himself while on duty, was finished for good. Even after being sent back to the training camp, he would probably never get another chance to rise, ultimately fading into obscurity.

"Mm—Patrick. What a shame." King [Artesia]
