Land of Light: I am Supermodel Tiga, One-Punch King

Reg knocked on Horii's room.

Although the Victory Team has a small and low organizational structure, it reports directly to Director Sawai and enjoys very good treatment and authority.

Each team member has their own private room, which is much better than the communal dormitories for police officers.

"Huh, Reg?"

Horii opened the door and was quite surprised to find it was Reg.

After all, Reg had only spent a few days getting to know his teammates in the command room after joining the Victory Team.

After that, he often trained Daigo alone.

Munakata, Iruma Megumi, and Reg are quite close, but Horii and Reg's relationship is just so-so.

"Please come in." After her initial surprise, Horii still invited Reg into the room.

"No training for Daigo today? The training content looks really amazing."

Horii handed Reg a glass of water and said with a smile.

"Haha, Daigo has such talent and perseverance, so I naturally have to try my best to tap into it. Fortunately, the training has come to an end."

Reg took the water.

"Yes, Daigo's perseverance, or rather his willpower, I remember in the training school's evaluation, was top-notch."

If two people who are not very familiar with each other want to start a conversation, they should obviously start with someone they are both very familiar with.

Horii sat on the bed and sighed, then began to talk about what happened before Daigo joined the GUTS team.

"Daigo was originally a member of the transportation department. After he saved the director, the director sent him to the training school and even had the intention of supporting him to join the GUTS team."

"Ha, Reg, you might not know this, but New Town and Lina were shooting and flight instructors at the training school back then."

"After learning about Daigo, they specifically increased the difficulty of his training and became more strict with him."

"But not long after, they came back and said that Daigo was really amazing and that he might be their teammate in the future."

"Daigo not only miraculously mastered various technical skills quickly, but his gentle and approachable manner and his unwavering willpower were also outstanding."

"As expected, in the final assessment, Daigo defeated everyone and entered the Victory Team with the best score."

Horii took a sip of water.

"Although many elites did not join the Victory Team for various reasons."

"But I'm not being modest, all of us team members are outstanding in our respective fields. Although Ye Rui is young, he is also a computer expert."

"Command response and military command capabilities, my scientific literacy spanning multiple disciplines, Lina's flight piloting skills, and Xincheng's driving and shooting skills."

“After Daigo joined the team, we were very willing to accept him, but he felt differently.”

Horii is a cheerful person who is good at setting a good mood, but he is also a thoughtful person.

“Daigo is inferior to us in every aspect. He often plays the role of an assistant or supporter. In addition, he is under a lot of pressure because he is valued by the director. He always feels that he is superfluous.”

"After the monster appeared, and everyone fought side by side, Daigo changed a bit."

"Reg, we are all very grateful to you for training Daigo and helping him find a profession where he can use his talents."

Reg was somewhat surprised.

To be honest, he hadn't known about these things before.

"By the way, Reg, is there something you need from me?" Horii asked Reg after talking about Daigo.

"I'd like to ask, can TPC's technology manufacture life-size armor or mechs that can be worn by a single person?"

"Ignoring weaponry and control systems, all that matters is load-bearing capacity, defense, and ease of movement."

Reg made a request: "If possible, make a set for Daigo, otherwise I'm worried I'll punch him to death."

Horii: "..."

Thinking about Reg's information and combat strength, Horii felt that it was indeed possible.

"If we don't consider weaponry and control, we don't even need an energy system, which is quite simple."

"However, I think it's still necessary to design some structures that can allow the weight of the armor to change."

"By the way, what is Daigo's maximum weight in kilograms that doesn't hinder his normal operations?"

Horii immediately took out a sketchbook and quickly began designing the armor.

"The lower limit of the load is 80 kg, and if it can be adjusted, the upper limit can be 160 kg."

Reg estimated the physical enhancement that Daigo had undergone during this period and provided a number.

"My God! To be able to carry 80 kilograms and still move freely like a normal person is truly incredible."

Horii exclaimed, "But that way, we have a lot more materials to choose from, which can improve our defense."

Just as Hori was designing the armor system, Reg saw a stack of documents next to him.

"Strange cloud formations? Dr. Mizuno, a meteorologist?"

Reg saw the title: "A team is being formed, with Dr. Mizuno at its core, to investigate the strange cloud formations."

Horii was clearly also a member of the investigation team.

Reg knew perfectly well that the strange cloud was the Lightning Man's lair.

A large number of lightning beings gathered together, affecting electromagnetic waves and ions, which formed that strange cloud.

"Is TPC's current technology capable of creating a certain range of ionosphere?"

Reg suddenly asked.

Horii didn't even look up: "How could that be? Such technology will probably take another ten years to develop. What's wrong?"

"That's a pity. Humans and lightning people can't coexist on Earth."

"Horii, we'll talk about the armor later. Has Dr. Mizuno gone to investigate this strange cloud formation again?"

Horii immediately became serious. Dr. Mizuno was his mentor. Judging from Reg's words, was there something wrong with the cloud?

Chapter 32 Lightning Men and Humans Cannot Coexist! (5)

Victory team command room.

All the members of the Victory Team gathered here.

"Flash Man?"

"I am puzzled," said the intermediary, Hui.

Just now, Horii and Reig suddenly had Nozue issue an emergency assembly notice.

Horii nodded: "Dr. Mizuno has a hypothesis that a kind of lightning person lives in the ionosphere of the sky."

"And the strange cloud we've been investigating these past few days, Dr. Mizuno suspects is that it's the nest of the Lightning Man."

"Lightning Man is a strange creature that can't land on the ground and can only live in the air."

Shinjo asked curiously, "If it lives in the air, how does it survive? And why did it descend to the sea surface? To scare the airplanes?"

Lina tilted her head: "Back in flight school, the senior students always said that there were other creatures in the sky that humans had never encountered before. Could it be true?"

She thought it was a joke to scare the new students.

Horii looked at Reg.

"Lightning Men do exist, but that's just a common name. Long ago, their name was Creteus."

"They live in the vast ionosphere and reproduce by floating ions."

"As for Xincheng asking how to survive?"

A strange smile appeared on Reg's face. "Then of course, it's eating."

"Eating ions?" Daigo guessed.

“No, they devour each other!” Reg shook his head. “They feed on their own kind.”

Lina shivered.

The others were also alarmed.

Although there are many creatures on Earth that eat their own kind, those are only occasional, special times.

Unlike this lightning man, who eats his own kind for a living, it's absolutely terrifying.

"Then why do they leave the ionosphere?" Zong Fang asked.

"It should be electromagnetic waves."

Horii had already figured something out: "In recent years, the use of electromagnetic waves by humans has become more and more widespread and frequent, which has affected the ionosphere."

"So, is the other party simply being interfered with, or are they seeking revenge by hiring humans?" Zongfang frowned.

"Since the other party is an ancient civilization, we may have the possibility of communicating with them."

"These are, after all, creatures on Earth, and we coexist with them."

Horii's eyes lit up as he thought of the voice translator he had invented.
