Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 23 Dream

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. It's time for the knight cadets to head to the front lines for actual combat.

The mentor's villa.

Xia Chuan opened his eyes in bed. After a brief burst of white light, his vision gradually cleared.

I had the same dream again.

He had a relatively peaceful month, and easily dealt with the few Gurongi from the Mei Group that appeared in between.

On the official side, it seems that they gave up the investigation after that group of "Extreme Fox" series knights, but just in case, he still made a lot of disguises and acted more cautiously.

The fact that Hiroko Asami's mission was not canceled indicates that the investigation into him has simply moved to the shadows.

Besides that, there are only the occasional strange dreams.

In his dream, he transformed into Ultraman and fought against a group of silver-robed aliens.

Of course, it wasn't the Ultraman of this world, but the giant of light he was familiar with.

I don't know what's going on with this recurring strange dream.

He only vaguely felt that it was related to the system panel in his mind.

He was completely helpless against the system that had been with him from the beginning. If there were other giants of light in this world, he would almost think that some alien was deliberately messing with him.

However, over this period of time, there has been no apparent threat to him; on the contrary, he has benefited quite a bit.

It's a bit rudimentary, but it's just right for him. If this thing had self-awareness or could issue tasks, he would have to think about it carefully.

Perhaps because he witnessed firsthand the Gurongi race being transformed into biological weapons, and Hei Kongwo being controlled by the spirit stone and going berserk, he was particularly sensitive to this aspect.

"The man in the silver robe... is it an early warning?"

Xia Chuan got up and drank some water, pondering the situation.

The system panel is simple, and he will have to figure out many of the answers on his own.

He is still far from becoming an Ultraman. If the panel hadn't foreseen the future, it could only be that he had extracted the memories of a certain Ultraman from the past.

Hmm, with such a rudimentary panel, the latter seems more reliable.

but.

He would feel even more at ease if the system panel came from the giant of light who was fighting the silver-robed man.

Ultraman Fighting Evolution System...

This not only means that the panel is harmless, but also indicates that he really has a chance to evolve into Ultraman.

"Snap!"

A sudden sound of shattering glass startled Xia Chuan awake.

It turned out that she had accidentally crushed the water glass in her hand, and water spilled all over the floor along with the shards.

My physique has been improving too fast lately, and I'm getting closer and closer to level 3. My strength is becoming increasingly superhuman.

The feeling is especially noticeable when Kuuga transforms into Kuuga and fights.

Every move he made had astonishing destructive power. If it weren't for the fact that he had to use sealing energy to eliminate those Gurongi, he wouldn't even need to take it too seriously.

It's estimated that only those above the Ge Group can put some pressure on him; those below the Mei Group are no different from ordinary soldiers.

But this also caused him a lot of trouble in his daily life.

After all, a knight's strength is measured in tons, and they can easily break things if they're not careful. Each time their strength increases, controlling it becomes even more difficult than fighting.

Sometimes he had to sneak into the training hall to train when the other trainees weren't there.

Otherwise, he can only hone his skills in battle, but he prefers to be a bit violent in battle, and often the conditions don't allow him to fight for too long.

……

Comprehensive training hall.

Xia Chuan was surprised to find that there were still sounds coming from the equipment room, as if someone was already training inside. However, after hearing the sound clearly, even Xia Chuan couldn't help but have a strange expression.

"Be prepared!"

"I'm going to fight! Watch closely, this is my transformation!"

"That's right, I am Kuuga!"

"I'll spare your lives today, now get out of here..."

"Click!"

Natsukawa pushed open the door and entered, and sure enough, he saw Fujiwara Saiji shouting and posing at the same time.

It looks like a frozen pose with the back to the enemy after a roundhouse kick, with training equipment scattered all over the ground behind.

Is this another episode?

"Uh...Master Kaminari?"

After indulging in his self-admiration for a while, Fujiwara Saiji suddenly turned around in surprise and almost slipped and fell to the ground when he saw Natsukawa. After realizing what had happened, he hurriedly picked up the equipment on the ground.

"What am I doing..."

"Weren't you with anyone else?" Xia Chuan asked, puzzled.

After a month, the knight cadets will go to the front line for a week of internship. Tamura informed him last night that Kondo Isami from Class B would be in charge of the team.

"N-no," Fujiwara Saiji awkwardly avoided eye contact. "I'm not participating in this practical exercise; my family has other plans."

"oh."

Xia Chuan nodded without asking any further questions.

It's not surprising that the Fujiwara Foundation made its own arrangements; the fact that Fujiwara Saiji came here for training is itself a strange thing.

"Mentor, are you here for training again?" Fujiwara Saiji asked, changing the subject as he looked at Natsukawa, who was helping to pack up the equipment.

He had already heard about Xia Chuan's "training injury".

It is said that Xia Chuan often comes to train in private, which seems to be related to the gossip among the B-class students.

"Teacher, you're just too nice, that's why those guys in Class B are so unruly."

Fujiwara Saiji was quite angry.

"Those guys deserve a good beating. I could take on a whole bunch of them by myself now..."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Xia Chuan shook his head and continued tidying up the equipment.

It's not that he doesn't believe Fujiwara Saisaku.

A month later, apart from Sakurai Keikazu, whose integration coefficient was already over 70, all the other trainees had reached 70, while Class B students were generally still hovering around 60.

It might be unrealistic for one person to beat up a group, but the gap in strength is indeed significant.

If Fujiwara Saiji were to act recklessly, it might even result in someone's death.

"You didn't bind yourself to the Knight System out of competitiveness, did you? I remember your dream was world peace."

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow and quietly hid the dumbbell that he had pinched to leave a mark.

"Now that you have this power, you should take on the corresponding responsibility. No matter how much you hate them, they may become your comrades in the future and fight monsters and weirdos with you."

"Of course I know, but I just want to beat them up, just like my idol!" Fujiwara Saiji raised his fist heavily, his eyes showing excitement, as if he couldn't wait to transform and fight.

"An idol?" Natsukawa turned to look at Fujiwara Saiji.

"It's Kuuga."

Fujiwara Saiji's eyes shone brightly as he recounted the story as if he were there himself.

"Mentor, you didn't see how cool Kuuga was! He beat up every Kamen Rider blocking his way without saying a word, then effortlessly killed the Grongi and left. The surrounding ant soldiers didn't even dare to utter a sound. That's a real Kamen Rider!"

"..."

Xia Chuan's eyes were subtle.

He had something he wanted to say, but Fujiwara Saisou used him as an example.

He was simply hunting down the Gurongi and showing off his strength a little, so why did it sound so different in Fujiwara's mouth?

"Mentor, you really should learn from my idol," Fujiwara Saiji sighed, shaking his head. "Peace is won through fighting; compromise and concessions will only embolden others..."

"I think I just heard something about 'my transformation' or something like that."

"Professor, are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."
