"Understood." Fang Rui gave an OK sign, indicating that there was no problem.

Zefa didn't ask any more questions either; it's best to mind your own business.

After entering, Zephyr looked around. In some of the worlds he had visited, the buildings were of this type. Concrete?

Zefa nodded slightly, already having an idea.

"Captain, who are they?"

Upon entering the operations command center, the members of the special team were each doing their own thing: some were exercising, some were studying something, and some were eating snacks.

Upon hearing the door open, someone who was eating snacks immediately looked up and saw that there were two strangers among the people who came in.

“My friend,” Jugglus Juggler explained simply.

"He is the coach that Hebikura found for you. He will teach you some physical skills."

Since they're just idling around anyway, why not find something for Zephyr to do? That would give the two of them a reason to stay in the armory.

Zefa turned his gaze to Fang Rui without refuting him; teaching physical techniques was already commonplace for him.

"As for me, I'm just here for fun." By distancing himself, Fang Rui indicated that he was just an ordinary guest.

"A physical training coach?"

Haruki Natsukawa, who had just become the human form of Ultraman, and Yoko Nakajima, who was good at physical skills, both became interested and carefully examined Zephyr.

He was a very strong old man, and he looked like he could fight.

Jugglus didn't refute anything. Since Fang Rui said so, he would just accept it as such.

“Want to give it a try?” Zephyr asked the two.

“Of course.” The two were eager to try, and another person in the office was also somewhat interested. The group headed to their usual training room.

The training room was set up similarly to the judo training room, with the audience standing against the wall and the three participants in the center of the room.

"Who wants to go first?" Zefa asked.

"I'll go first." Natsukawa Haruki stood opposite Zephyr, bowed, and then assumed a fighting stance.

"Begin!" Jugglus Juggler, acting as referee, gave the order.

Zefa darted out and slammed Natsukawa Haruki to the ground before he could react.

Staring at the familiar ceiling, Haruki Natsukawa felt a little dazed. What happened? How did I end up on the ground in the blink of an eye?

"So fast!"

The others thought to themselves.

Chapter 413 Temporary Work

'Strength, speed, and skill—all are top-notch.'

As Jugglus thought to himself, his gaze toward Zephyr changed slightly.

As expected of someone who acted alongside Fang Rui, their strength is indeed impressive.

"Truly impressive!" Yoko Nakajima exclaimed in admiration, for she held great respect for those who were strong.

"Amazing." Yuka Ota also praised him. Although she didn't see much, she thought it was already very impressive that he could easily defeat Haruki Natsukawa.

Fang Rui's expression didn't change much. He knew how outrageous Zephyr's strength was; Zephyr could solo weaker monsters.

Haruki Natsukawa stepped aside, recalling the previous move. Zeta was marveling at Zephyr's strength; even he wouldn't have been able to react in time.

Yoko Nakajima did not give up the challenge because of Zephyr's strength. Instead, after bowing respectfully, she asked Zephyr for guidance...

The result is self-evident: a swift and decisive defeat.

"Now that you understand the other side's strength, seize the opportunity to learn diligently!"

As he spoke, Jugglus glanced at Haruki Natsukawa. Both he and Zeta were fledgling warriors, and it was essential for them to learn some fighting techniques, especially since their coach was very strong.

Monsters can be humanoid or animaloid, but people in the world of sailing, especially those with high combat strength, have ways to deal with both humanoid and animaloid forms.

If you learn from him, you can learn something useful.

The group left the training room; even if they needed to train, there was no rush.

Jugglus led the group to the logistics department, which was where the robots were repaired.

Yuka Ota and the others often come here to help. Upon arriving at the warehouse, they each find something to do and begin assisting...

Jugglus Juggler didn't go to help; instead, he crossed his arms and gazed at the badly damaged robot.

“If Vegapunk were here, he might be happy,” Zephyr said.

"Perhaps!" Fang Rui didn't say anything, but he knew that the design of giant robots had already been drawn up before Vegapunk joined the World Government.

While touring the warehouse, Zefa, who wasn't very knowledgeable about machinery, was impressed by many of the items.

"What do you think?" Jugglus asked Fang Rui for his opinion.

"Not bad." Fang Rui said calmly. The armory's robotic technology originated from a monster, which was actually a trap thrown by another alien.

"I have a question. If armed robots can be made, then by simplifying them, engineering robots for other applications should also be possible. But why haven't I seen any..."

In response to Fang Rui's question, Jugglus Juggler's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled silently. "What do you think the reason might be?"

There are only a few common reasons, so there's no need to elaborate.

"Didn't you try to push it forward?" Fang Rui asked when he saw that Jugglus Juggler remained silent.

"Push? I'm just an ordinary team leader, how could I possibly push this forward?"

Jugglus said this with a smile.

To push forward the project Fang Rui mentioned, it would be impossible without sufficient funding, and the armory's funds were not very sufficient.

Besides, even if there were enough, some people wouldn't use it to research engineering robots.

"Is that so?" Fang Rui said in a low voice, not paying much attention.

Jugglus Juggler's reason for staying here wasn't because he suddenly wanted to be a captain and experience life; there were other reasons.

He won't interfere too much with the choices made by the people of this planet.

The two stopped talking and silently looked around the warehouse. To be honest, Fang Rui was somewhat interested in the technology of drivable robots, which could be studied by the researchers in Biyou Village. Even if there were magical artifact versions of robots, there was still a market for purely technological versions.

After the visit, the group went to a restaurant for a meal, not inside the armory, but on the commercial street outside the armory.

The people attending the dinner were all members of the special operations team, plus Fang Rui and Zefa.

Because there were outsiders present, Fang Rui and the others didn't discuss any confidential matters, but instead talked about some trivial things.

"What do you usually do?" Fang Rui asked while eating barbecue.

"Exercise, train to drive robots, and perform some routine tasks."

Haruki Natsukawa explained, "Besides that, I also help out in the logistics department, upgrading and repairing Sevenger..."

"Regular missions?" Fang Rui asked with some curiosity. "What kind of missions are they?"

"You...don't know?" The expressions of Natsukawa Haruki and the others were somewhat subtle.

To be fair, the Armory has a relatively high profile in this world, after all, it's an organization with giant robots and it's frequently on missions.

At this time, some people were surprisingly unaware of the daily tasks performed by the armory!

Did you come from some deep mountain forest?

The group complained inwardly, but then they changed their minds.

'It seems there's no problem!'

'The opponent's martial arts skills are so strong; they must have been focusing on training beforehand, so it's normal that they weren't paying attention to anything else.'

After finishing his own imaginary scenario, Haruki Natsukawa said, "Missions involving monsters are relatively few. Most of the missions we usually undertake are rescue and assistance..."

"Oh~" Fang Rui nodded slightly. Rescue?

"It's a pity that Sevenger has an energy limit, and his activity time is very short, otherwise he could participate in more missions."

Haruki Natsukawa sounded somewhat disappointed; he really wanted to drive the Sevenger to help more people.

'Energy?'

Fang Rui wasn't too worried about this, as many of the technologies he possessed were related to energy.

"Speaking of which, the world's technological development is somewhat unbalanced."

'After all, much of our technology stemmed from research into monsters.'

As they chatted, Fang Rui learned a lot of useless information, and the relationship between the group progressed slightly, becoming that of familiar strangers.

After the meal, the group parted ways, and Jugglus led the two to their temporary lodging.

During the journey, Zefa said, "The daily training sessions are held in the morning."

The tournament is held in the afternoon and evening, so he is free in the morning.

“No problem.” Jugglus Juggler had no objection to this; the special operations team was mostly idle.

“I will leave in five days,” Zephyr continued.

“No problem.” Jugglus still had no objections, but said, “When you’re teaching, pay special attention to Haruki Natsukawa, make sure he has a solid foundation, and tell him how to train later.”

Upon hearing this, Zephyr glanced at him and nodded in agreement.

With his Observation Haki, he also noticed something unusual about Haruki Natsukawa, and combined with what Fang Rui had said, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

"You seem to take good care of him." Fang Rui, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

"After all, he's my team member, so naturally I have to take care of him." Jugglus Juggler's expression remained unchanged. Besides, this wasn't his first time helping Ultraman level up; he had experience.

The two did not stay at the armory, but in a rented room near it. Jugglus was very familiar with the area around the armory, so renting a room went very smoothly.

'Let's temporarily install a portal here to facilitate travel between the two worlds.'

As he said this, Fang Rui took out the teleportation portal from his storage ring and placed it in the living room. Jugglus looked at the teleportation portal and asked the question that had been bothering him.

"what is this?"

“It’s something you’re very familiar with, a portal,” Fang Rui explained.
