Ultraman cubs begin to wreak havoc.

"Everything has a price to pay, but sometimes you just don't realize it. That's what my mother-in-law taught me, and I think it makes a lot of sense. By the way, where's Mr. Matsunaga?"

"Let's go to Zone L."

Mizuta Ichiro, seemingly lost in thought, casually replied:

"Matsunaga said that if you are in good health, you can go there to find him. He said that the venue you requested last time has been set up."

"Alright, I'll be going now, Mr. Mizuta, see you later."

"Slow down on the road."

Seeing the reckless Subaru, Mizuta Ichinō couldn't help but call out from behind. Only after seeing the boy give him an 'OK' sign did he return to his room, sit down in a chair, and seem lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly stood up, picked up the test tube containing Subaru's blood, stared at the crimson liquid, and muttered to himself:

"The price...?"

"Mr. Matsunaga, I've arrived."

"Well!!"

Seeing Subaru running towards him as if he couldn't stop, Matsunaga Yōichirō reached out and caught him, then tapped the boy's head with a light tap and said:

"Your body has just recovered, so be careful. If you're reckless, my old bones might not be able to catch you every time."

"Don't say that. Mr. Matsunaga is still very young and in good health."

Gen Subaru replied with a smile, then looked around and said softly:

"Is this right here?"

"Ah."

Matsunaga Yoichiro looked at the spacious area in front of him and said:

"As you requested, this space is sufficient for you to deploy your Meta Domain, and the visitors have also helped install jammers. Zagi should be unable to detect your vibrations, and he should be unable to intrude into your Meta Domain, however..."

At this point, the manager adjusted his glasses and said helplessly:

"We are not yet able to provide the combat dolls and simulated dark realm tests you requested, so please bear with us."

"This is already very good. To be honest, I didn't expect you guys to be able to finish it so quickly. Shall I give it a try?"

“Give it a try, and tell me if you’re not satisfied,” Matsunaga Yoichiro said as he stepped back to make room. “Don’t worry about it, just think of TLT-J’s logistics department as your own.”

"Hehe, then I won't hold back, Nexus!"

Subaru transformed into a giant and unleashed the Meta Domain. In the desolate domain, he looked down at the Armed Nexus on his hands. During his battle with the original Ultraman, he realized that the reason why the flexible and unpredictable beams with almost no wind-up were so powerful seemed to be because one hand stored negative energy and the other stored positive energy, and the impact when the hands met caused this. After experiencing countless times of taking the beams with his own body, the boy believed that he had not misunderstood this principle.

Now, Gen Subaru wants to incorporate this technique into 'Cross Ray Storm', a move born of necessity, as he currently lacks a decisive finishing move...

No, that's not right. In fact, Subaru also knows a move called "Over-Ray Schtrom". The power of this skill far exceeds "Cross Ray Storm" and "Core Pulse". Although this skill was used by the projection in Nexus Red Youth form, he also imitated half of it when sparring with the projection.

Why do I say it's only half used? Well, the physical strength of the juvenile form is still a bit too low to withstand such a violent output of light energy. The power is still there, but using it would result in the awkward situation of killing a thousand enemies while losing a thousand of your own. Therefore, for now, the only way is to find a unique path to enhance the power of the skills you have learned.

On the bright side, if this technique is successfully applied to 'Cross Ray Storm', it can be integrated into other light-based skills—great! Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel incredibly motivated!

Gen Subaru clenched his fist, gave himself a pep talk, and then began the repetitive practice...

"Commander, where is this place...?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Night Raid team, led by Matsunaga Yoichiro, was heading towards the equipment depot in Sector K. Kura Eisuke looked around at the weapons in astonishment, feeling like he couldn't take it all in. He couldn't help but ask a question, but Matsunaga Yoichiro waved his hand, signaling them not to linger and to continue forward. Kura Eisuke and the others arrived at a room full of incubation pods.

However, the liquid-filled incubation chamber did not contain flesh, but rather full-body armor, though the material of the armor gave one a sense of instinctive unease.

"Actually, I was planning to wait a while before distributing this weapon to you, since it's not quite stable yet."

Matsunaga Yoichiro pushed up his glasses, turned to the Night Raid team, and said:

"But this battle served as a wake-up call for us. If the enemy uses methods like poison gas or vacuum, our combat tactics will be limited to fighter jets, which is unacceptable. In the event of an unexpected situation, we might become a burden instead. So..."

Matsunaga Yoichiro tapped on the culture chamber and said in a deep voice:

"The next time we cooperate with Nexus in an attack, these armors codenamed 'Kamen Rider' will be issued to you. In the meantime, we will do our best to improve their functions, but please be prepared if malfunctions still occur!"

028 A group of childish ghosts

After saying this, Matsunaga Yoichiro withdrew his waving hand and silently looked at the Night Raid team members, saying:

"You can say whatever you want here. You can speak freely, but after you leave here, I hope you will strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement."

"I have a question."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Kura Eisuke chimed in, looking directly at the manager and saying:

What was the original code name for this project?

"......"

Upon hearing this, Matsunaga Yoichiro paused for a moment, then turned his head slightly and said in a low voice:

"Exoskeleton Biochemical Individual Combat Unit Module"

"Manager, please stop being so childish, okay?"

With a serious expression, Eisuke Wakura said:

"Furthermore, even if we're talking about naming it, as the captain of the Night Raid Team, I should have some say in it. I suggest calling it Super Sentai!"

Huh?! X2

Saijo Nagi and Hiraki Shiori turned to look at their captain in astonishment. "What's wrong with you, Captain? Why are you acting like a chuunibyou?"

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

Matsunaga Yoichiro adjusted his glasses, his gaze fixed on Wakura Eisuke. His serious expression made Saijo Nagi and Hiraki Shiori breathe a sigh of relief. After all, compared to 'Super Sentai,' the codename 'Kamen Rider' seemed... wait a minute, couldn't they just call it 'Exoskeleton Biochemical Individual Combat Unit Model'? That's much more proper!

Just as Saijo Nagi was filled with吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments), Matsunaga Yoichiro held up four fingers and said in a low voice:

"A super team needs five people, and you only have four. If we include additional warriors, then there will be more than five people!"

"If you think about it, isn't Subaru just an additional soldier?"

At this moment, Mitsuhiko Ishibori, who was standing behind, couldn't help but interject. Upon hearing this, Eisuke Wakura turned around and looked at Mitsuhiko Ishibori with an expression of agreement.

"There are only four of you, you can't be called a super team!"

Matsunaga Yoichiro waved his hand decisively and arrogantly, his smug smile resembling that of a petty person who had achieved success. This made Wakura Eisuke and Ishibori Mitsuhiko's fists harden instantly, while Saijo Nagi stood a little further away with a black line on her face.

"that...."

At that moment, Shiori Hiraki cautiously raised her hand and whispered a suggestion:

"How about we name it Pink Bunny? We can write in the record later, 'The alien beast was killed by Pink Bunny,' that sounds pretty cool, right!"

"...."X4

"It's Kamen Rider!"

"Manager, including you, you're a perfect fit for a super team!"

"The Super Team consists of four men and one woman; your genders don't match!"

"Saijo can dress as a man!"

Captain (He Cang), you're amazing, you dare to say that...

As Eisuke Wakura shouted those words, the enclosed dark room suddenly fell silent. Matsunaga Yoichiro looked at Eisuke Wakura, who had just come to his senses and was now covered in cold sweat, with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man. Then, he and everyone else turned to look at Saijo Nagi, who was standing to the side.

At this moment, the vice-captain stared coldly at Eisuke Wakura and said in a flat, emotionless tone:

"Call him Kamen Rider."

"Um, Saijo, listen to me..."

"Call me Kamen Rider!"

"Saijo, this..."

"Masked Rider!"

"Yes...."

"A pointless argument."

As Saijo Nagi spoke, she pushed open the door and left. As she walked, she couldn't help but exhale, smiling helplessly as she muttered to herself:

"A bunch of immature old men, just wait and see how I deal with you... Subaru?"

Nagi Saijo returned to the Night Raid team's meeting room with a smile, only to see a staff member helping Subaru Gen wrap a bandage, which was quickly stained with seeping blood.

"What's going on here?"

Saijo Nagi quickly went over to help treat the wounds on the boy's hands and arms, and said anxiously:

"Did the enemy just appear?"

"No, I accidentally injured myself during training."

With the help of the two people, Gen Subaru's injuries were quickly treated. The staff member smiled politely at Saijo Nagi, then reached out to touch Gen Subaru before leaving.

He is....

"Kudo Yono from the Logistics Department."
