So many sociable people here, did you forget about the rare and unappreciate "other" human ? Those that doesn't like being in crowd, those that doesn't care about other, and such, personally, if I was in this situation I would just be in my corner without meddling with the others, I'm that kind of bastard after all.
And telling the guy that seem like a good tool to be used to integrate this world doesn't shocked me, it was clearly said that the mc was way above the normal in stats, while yes the stats dosen't do all the work, if the difference is too much then an experienced but week guy can't do anything to an overpowered novice, and even if this knight manage to battle him, he can just do what he netter at: run away and hid. And don't mention his eyes, mc agility is way above gay knight, mc can leave him in the dust in no time~
