Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 200 Superpower Class

Base training center.

A week has passed since Kondo Isami was discharged from the hospital, and the superpowered class next door has finally been formed.

Although there weren't many students in total, they still occupied a large part of the original Knights' area, mainly the B-class's space, which made Kondo Isami quite resentful in private.

The relatively spacious training hall was always filled with gun-wielding ant soldiers, even affecting the B-class knights.

However, after he was hospitalized and away for a period of time, the school's attention to him decreased significantly.

At least he's now a level 4 knight.

Which level 4 knight is as noble as him, giving up his privileges to come to the school and mentor newcomers...?

That guy Kaminari doesn't count.

That guy hasn't been teaching students much lately; he probably just coasted to become a Level 5 Knight.

"Please understand, Mr. Kondo."

Tamura led everyone into the training ground of the Superpower Class for a visit. After noticing Kondo's aggrieved and dissatisfied expression, he smiled and comforted him.

"After all, the situation is special right now, and these children are safest here. Besides, when they grow up, they might become your students."

"My student?"

Kondo Isami was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but imagine the future in his mind.

If all his students were this group of superpowered individuals, they should be able to surpass Class A, right?

Then it will be Kaminari's turn to envy him.

So what if the students are all level 3 knights? So what if their levels are higher than his?

His students may reach level 5 or even higher.

"Mentor Kondo?"

Natsukawa patted Kondo Isami on the shoulder, who was in a daze.

Everyone's waiting for you.

"what?"

Kondo Isami struggled to his senses, and embarrassed to see the crowd waiting at the entrance, he quickly wiped his mouth and straightened his collar.

"Actually, I'm quite interested in people with superpowers. I wonder what kind of training they do in the superpower class?"

"You'll see once you go in," Tamura said with a smile, leading the way.

The training hall is divided into small rooms, and through the main screen in the observation room, you can see many children conducting superpower experiments under the guidance of researchers.

The children ranged in age from 5 or 6 to around 15. One pretty girl immediately caught Xia Chuan's attention.

Despite changing into clean clothes, her figure was still very distinct, especially her pair of black pearl-like eyes, which were exactly the same as when she was attacked by the Leopard Venerable.

"What's this child's name?" Xia Chuan asked the person in charge next to him.

"Sayaka," the person in charge replied, "was just delivered a couple of days ago, and her superpowers are much stronger than the other children's."

Kondo Isami's brow twitched, and he stared warily at Natsukawa: "Hey Kaminaga, why are you so concerned about that young girl?"

Natsukawa glanced at Kondo Isami but didn't ask any more questions.

His focus is completely different from this guy's.

For him, the spacetime of Agito was too special, and the appearance of Agito and the Venerable in this world was not as simple as it had been before.

There seems to be some secret hidden behind this.

This world isn't a knight's world, so why would the Venerable One come here specifically to kill superpowered individuals?

The reason why the god of darkness in Agito sends out a messenger is because humans are its creations, and it does not want its childlike humans to be corrupted by the power of light, which is the power of another god.

"start!"

In the monitoring footage, the researchers nodded and recorded the experimental data separately. Several young boys worked together to create energy on the objects on the table, and soon several building blocks were seen wobbling and floating.

The water in the cup kept swirling, the scattered scraps of paper automatically gathered and restored themselves, and the aluminum can was twisted and deformed by an invisible force.

These are all basic psychodynamic experiments.

However, there are other rooms where X-ray vision and precognitive tests are being conducted.

The girl named Sayaka possessed the ability to foresee the future.

Generally speaking, superpowers are just a manifestation of the awakening process of Agito's power, and they should disappear after a successful transformation.

"Is this what superpower development is?" Kondo Isami was both curious and somewhat disappointed.

The scene was somewhat different from what he had envisioned.

"It's a process of becoming proficient," the person in charge explained. "For these children, superpowers will gradually develop. The most important thing now is how to control these abilities, otherwise a good thing can turn into a bad thing."

"is that so?"

"In fact, before we found these children, some newly awakened children had chosen to commit suicide."

The person in charge spoke in a somber voice.

"Gaining superpowers is not a good thing for everyone; sometimes it can be a source of immense suffering. That's why superpower classes exist. In addition to helping these children develop their superpowers, our main job is to guide and educate them."

Kondo Isami opened his mouth, and for some reason thought of Shima Noboru from Class A.

We can go back and learn some lessons from their experience.

"Alright, take a break first," the person in charge said as they walked into the training area. "We have some guests coming over, everyone come out and greet them."

"guest?"

"I know, it's the Knights' Class next door."

"A knight mentor?"

"I heard there are level 5 knights!"

The children from the Superpower Class swarmed out like students leaving school, curiously peering at Xia Chuan and his group who had come to visit, through the ant soldier formation.

Kondo Yu tried to put on a friendly smile, but his expression quickly froze as the children all gathered around Natsukawa.

So what if you're a level 5 knight?

"Is he really a level 5 knight?"

The children with superpowers surrounded Xia Chuan as if he were a giant panda.

"Can I transform and try?"

"Why is there only one level 5 knight?"

Sayaka, the girl, walked at the back with her companions, chatting and laughing. After leaving the training room, she looked at Natsukawa, but suddenly her legs stiffened, and she stood there like a stone, unable to move.

"Sayaka?"

"Whoosh!"

The girl's breathing quickened, her eyes narrowed to tiny dots, as if she were seeing Kuuga again that night. The green bio-rider phantom appeared uncontrollably, as if facing a deadly threat.

"What's wrong, Sayaka?" her companion asked anxiously.

"N-nothing?" The girl took a step back, exhaled a long breath, and asked, "Who was that person?"

"Shinji Kaminaga, don't you know him? I heard he's the instructor of Knight Class A. Not only is he a Level 5 Knight himself, but several Level 3 Knights have also emerged from his students in less than a year."

"My companion said enviously."

"It seems that a few days ago, another student became a level 4 knight and was preparing to create a team."

"Really?" The girl looked at Xia Chuan with a puzzled expression.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the overlapping outlines of Kuuga have completely disappeared, and I can no longer feel any threat.

"What's a level 4 knight? In a dungeon, they're only slightly better than regular enemies."

The little boy who had been walking alongside the refined young man appeared on the training field, seemingly unconcerned about the lively scene unfolding there.

"Our future starts at Level 5."

"Who are you?"

The girl noticed a strange white mark on the back of the boy's hand and suddenly became lost in thought, as if she saw two figures, one black and one white, fighting between the sea and the sky.

"I'm also a student in the superpower class," the little boy said with a mature and cold expression as he walked by, "but unlike you, I don't need any training."

"What does 'no training required' mean?"

The girl snapped out of her daze, exchanged a glance with her companion, and wanted to ask a question, but found that the little boy had already walked away.

At the same time, two figures emerged from the high platform of the training ground, calmly looking down at the superpowered individuals below. One of them was the refined young man who had brought the little boy into the base.

"He's the strongest experimental subject you mentioned? A biological weapon even more perfect than Kuuga? So what if he grows up? He might as well work with me to develop the new Eleking."

"This isn't the age of monsters anymore. What use are monsters that can't grow to gigantic sizes?" the refined young man chuckled. "Besides, don't underestimate the world of knights. Aren't we trapped on Earth precisely for this so-called possibility?"

"Hmph, what are your plans now?"

"A new knight timeline is about to arrive; you'll find out then."

"Buzz!"

Xia Chuan sensed something and turned around, just in time to see the two leaving the training hall.

alien……

He was also curious about the reasons why these aliens were willing to be trapped on Earth.

……

a few days later.

Just as the year was drawing to a close, Skynet, which had only been established a short time ago, held a large-scale competition, and the qualification for participation was also delegated to Level 2 rookie knights.

The competition is divided into 3 groups: a group of newcomers, a group of level 3 knights, and a group of level 4 and above.

There is still only one Level 5 knight in this world. This level is a bit special. After reaching Level 5, they will basically disappear. Currently, only Minami Kotaro has been promoted to Level 6 and returned.

Opinions vary regarding the other knights on the list; some guess they are level 5, some guess level 6, and others guess higher.

In fact, the alliance only has 5 levels, and levels above 5 are collectively referred to as level 6.

However, with the emergence of Skynet, each knight also has their own information panel.

It is said that Kotaro Minami has exceeded the limits of ordinary people, which experts believe represents a new stage of human evolution.

That is, evolution beyond the limits.

The so-called level 5 is just the beginning. Theoretically, some people are born as level 5 knights, but only those above level 5 are true knights, and they can only be trained through hard work.

This has been proven in several instance worlds.

Regardless of their strength, the knights in the dungeon are generally level 5 knights.

"At least that's what I think," the old scholar on TV said emphatically, adjusting the back of his glasses. "If this conjecture is true, our previous assessments of the monsters' levels might not be accurate. Is it possible that they are more powerful than we've seen, or that even more powerful monsters exist...?"

"It is said that during the time of the Gurongi, there were strange celestial phenomena, leading the police to believe that there may be individuals far exceeding the capabilities of ordinary Gurongi..."

School villa.

After finishing his telekinesis training, Natsukawa and Hiroko Asami did a thorough house cleaning, their gazes inadvertently sweeping over the television.

Ultimately, it's due to information asymmetry.

Not all knights in the Knight World are born at level 5; they just grew up during the dungeon phase.

Moreover, what the exploration team saw was itself the result of time's choice.

It's difficult to reach that level unless you're a level 5 knight.

Of course, it's not impossible for someone to directly become a Level 5 Knight, but most cases are special.

Either it's an artificial knight system, or it's a custom-developed system with a high degree of integration.

They are either chosen ones or simply knights who have evolved from their own personal knight system.

Unlike the knights of this world, whose belts are almost all bound to the knight timeline, the fusion coefficient depends entirely on luck.

Perhaps that's why the League came up with the superpower project.

Humans who possess the power of Agito, once awakened, will all reach a high knight rank.

"The match is about to start," Hiroko Asami called out to Natsukawa after changing her clothes. "Do you want to go watch? The viewing platform has been set up over at the gymnasium."

"You go ahead."

Xia Chuan was slightly distracted.

After this period of observation, it seems that Skynet's core is not under the control of the Alliance.

Because of his high hidden points, his access card was recently upgraded, directly advancing from Gold to Diamond, and he automatically acquired a lot of information.

Currently, the highest level of authority is diamonds, and there are only two, including him.

The other one should be on the league side.

In that case, there's no need to worry about Skynet security issues.

With the same permissions, even if he enters Skynet, the Alliance will only know that there is one more unknown person with permissions.

"Whoosh!"

After Hiroko Asami left, Natsukawa tidied up quickly, locked the bedroom door, and entered the Knight Space.

The next moment, consciousness entered the SkyNet virtual platform along with the white light, and there were many known knight systems to choose from in front of him.

SkyNet offers two modes: one is to directly access one's own information, and the other is to select the Knight System provided by SkyNet. Theoretically, this can eliminate the power disparity caused by the Knight System and achieve absolute fairness.

However, very few people actually try the second method.

Most knights join Skynet to improve their strength and increase their knight system fusion coefficient. Only those who cannot improve or who want to participate in competitions will choose other knight systems.

After looking at the options, Xia Chuan randomly picked THEBEE.

This competition can be seen as an opportunity for him.

Competitions are different from real combat, especially in this virtual mode. The relaxed atmosphere allows for more combat attempts and countless opportunities to try and fail.

As for the lack of a sense of life or death...

He has no shortage of practical experience.

The reason for choosing Royal Bee was to avoid being too much interfered with by the Knight System.

Just like Minami Kotaro, who has great strength but can't use it in front of Rising Time.

The Royal Bee is pretty good; it's not particularly powerful, but it's also difficult to counter.

"Selection successful... Diamond level access level. You can continue filtering for matchmaking opponents."

"Any one... a knight of level 4 or higher."

Xia Chuan listened to the electronic voice in the void and responded casually.

He was just trying it out during the competition; he wasn't actually going to participate. He just needed to find opponents of similar skill levels.

"Match successful".

The sound rang out again.

It was faster than expected.

Is this what diamond privileges are?

The alliance is also collecting points; it's unclear what will happen with higher privileges.

"Whoosh!"

Another burst of white light appeared, and a black knight figure emerged opposite Xia Chuan. At the same time, Xia Chuan automatically donned the Royal Bee Armor and entered his second form ahead of schedule.

"Black?"

Xia Chuan quickly got a clear look at the black knight's appearance.

It is exactly the predecessor of RX, the original Kamen Rider Black.

Skynet has a very comprehensive list of knights.

"Not a contestant?"

Minami Kotaro stared blankly at the royal bee that appeared in front of him. After discovering a bunch of question marks about the specific information, his mind was also filled with question marks.

He had already prepared for the coaching match, so why was he replaced?

"Sorry, Skynet seems to be malfunctioning. I don't have time to fight you right now. Can we do it another time?"

"I don't have any problems." Xia Chuan heard the electronic switching voice and felt it was somewhat familiar. After checking his permissions, he found that it was actually Minami Kotaro.

No wonder.

Thanks.

Minami Kotaro awkwardly added Natsukawa as a friend, then silently chose to quit the battle.
