Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 234 Team Dungeon, "Den-O"

One week later.

Knight School.

The original SkyNet grandstand center of the Comprehensive Training Hall was temporarily transformed and connected to become the entrance to the new dungeon passage.

Several candidate teams entered the venue amidst the attention of the newcomers.

Although Natsukawa was not on the mission list, he still entered the stands area with Hiroko Asami and the others.

"That's amazing, it can actually capture the dungeon entrance."

Kazumi Takahashi sighed with regret.

"I feel like a lot of things have changed in the last two years, and the Alliance's control over dungeons is much stronger than before..."

"Of course," Hiroko Asami said calmly, "the age of knights is just beginning."

Despite the six-month gap, she adapted quickly and felt that she could accept even the most outrageous things in the world.

The Age of Knights...

Xia Chuan looked at the knight squads gathered in front of the underground passage one by one.

The alliance has been collecting points in large quantities. While a single knight can only contribute a small number of points, the total amount is still considerable. In particular, with the emergence of resources for advancing to higher ranks, the accumulated points of the top knights have been almost completely depleted.

Based on current information, having more than 1 available points grants Silver privileges, 1 grants Gold privileges, and the specifics above Gold are unclear. However, someone with tens of millions of points accumulated is at the Diamond privilege level, just like the Alliance.

Further up, I vaguely realized that it required core privileges that required a massive amount of points, allowing one to become something like a game administrator.

There seems to be a cadre level above that, but perhaps due to insufficient points, it remains completely shrouded in mystery.

If things continue like this, the alliance is very likely to become the administrator first.

I just don't know how the alliance will handle the points system. Will it be centralized in one place, or will it be distributed among various high-level personnel?

"Everyone," the branch commander said as he stepped onto the stage, "I'll reiterate the dungeon qualification requirements: each team must consist of 5 people, with at least two level 4 knights, and all team members must be at least level 3."

After a brief announcement of the important instructions, an assistant took charge of the subsequent tasks, and all team information was displayed on the stands screen.

The first team to appear was the cadet team.

The team is led by Fujiwara Saiji, and includes Wataru, Onoe Takumi, Mizusawa Yu, Murai Ryota, Sakurai Kagekazu, and the middle-aged man Goto who just joined the team. There are a total of 7 members.

There are 6 Level 4 beginners and 1 Level 3 member. Among them, Fujiwara Saiji has a fusion coefficient of 94, which would have been a solid captain-level position a year ago.

The second team to appear was the Alliance Elite Team, which was reorganized from the original Kabuto Team. It consisted of 5 people, all of whom were level 4.

Tong Dou is the vice-captain, while the captain is a mysterious young man from the Public Security Bureau, whose fusion coefficient is said to be as high as 95.

Seemingly acquainted with Shinji Kaminaga, the young man's gaze lingered on Natsukawa for quite a while.

"That person used to be a candidate for the FOT team," Hiroko Asami whispered, "I heard he was your rival."

"That's all in the past."

Xia Chuan shook his head, not thinking much about it.

Shinji Kaminaga only had relationships with the Furious team members; he had long since stopped caring about anything else.

He is Shinji Kaminaga, but he is not entirely Shinji Kaminaga.

"Isn't that Kondo-sensei?" Hiroko Asami looked at Isao Kondo, who was pale-faced, with surprise. "What's wrong with him? He doesn't seem to be doing well."

"Perhaps he felt the pressure."

Natsukawa turned his gaze to Kondo Isami, who seemed to be muttering something with his eyes closed.

The third team is the Kondo team, which consists of 5 people. It was originally Shimura Junichi's long blade team, with 3 ordinary level 3 members and 2 level 4 members.

The other level 4 is Konan, a young girl who used to run a dungeon with Kondo Isami.

The fourth team is the supporting team, consisting of 7 people: 2 level 4 knights who have entered the dungeon before, and 5 ordinary level 3 knights. There is nothing special about them.

The fifth team, however, caused a minor commotion.

Team 01, who colluded with Matsuo in the Hibiki dungeon, also joined this operation and seems to have escaped punishment completely.

"Those guys," Hiroko Asami's shoulders trembled slightly, "doesn't the League care at all?"

"There's nothing we can do," sighed Taki Akihisa, who followed behind. "What can we do? They're from the suzerain state. The alliance can't handle them. After all, we also have to consider their current isolated situation by the Sea Mist."

Xia Chuan did not express his opinion.

The island nation had little to do with him; what was truly tragic for him was that humanity's fate was controlled by aliens.

Even more tragically, a decade or so later, came the judgment from the universe.

Humanity's higher-ups should know this, yet they seem to place their hopes on extraterrestrials.

"Is Kaminaga really not participating?"

In the team's rest area, Langya rudely gnawed on a chicken leg, seemingly unable to stop eating. His eagle-like eyes glanced gloomily at Xia Chuan in the audience area, then narrowed his eyes and turned to the student team and the middle-aged man in the student team.

"These brats, how dare they accept Goto! They'll teach them a lesson once they're inside!"

"But brother," the underling said, recalling their experience in the blockade zone, "they have six level 4 knights, and Shinji Kaminari is not to be trifled with either, so perhaps..."

"What's there to be afraid of?! Anything can happen in a dungeon. Level 4 knights have died before."

Wolf Fang felt a lingering pain in his buttocks and viciously tore at the chicken leg.

"Electric King? From this moment on, I am the Fang King! I have a feeling this dungeon will be my stage! Hmph, the humiliation I suffered last time, I'll pay for it with my own hands sooner or later!"

"B-Big brother, are you going to kill someone? Murder is against the law..."

"roll!"

Wolf Fang turned his head, picked up an apple, and started biting into it. His fierce gaze made Fujiwara and the others on the other side frown repeatedly.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"I don't know, it seems like I was beaten up by my tutor."

"I'm sorry..." Mizusawa Yu said remorsefully, "That person actually got into trouble because of me... I think it would have been better if I had just withdrawn."

"What are you apologizing for? Nobody's blaming you," Fujiwara Saiji said, pressing down on Mizusawa Yu's shoulder. "Our mentor is right. It's because of your personality that you can't fully control your power. The best way is to undergo trials in dungeons."

In the audience area, Hiroko Asami followed Natsukawa's gaze and glanced at the student team.

"Are you really not participating? This time, the Alliance is unusually open without any quota restrictions. Besides, you know how brutal the dungeons are. Without restrictions, those knights are capable of anything. Aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about?" Xia Chuan's eyes twitched. "Their abilities are no weaker than mine, and six level 4 knights are far more than other teams. Adding me to their team might not be a good thing."

In dungeons, victory or defeat isn't solely determined by skill, especially in this team-based competitive dungeon.

Being too outstanding can make you a thorn in the side of other teams.

but……

Xia Chuan thoughtfully examined the trainees.

Can Fujiwara Saiji really lead a team well?

This child is really in a bad situation.

He seems to have an Oedipus complex, but he can't find a way to break through his unrequited love for Baluba. Not only does he finally meet someone he likes in the dungeon, but it turns out to be a Zergling.

Not only were they killed by the Zerg, but their older brother also slaughtered them right in front of them.

Then my brother too...

This child's name is probably the only reason he hasn't turned evil.

Leading the team doesn't seem like a good fit.

Especially the cadet teams.

First there were three monsters, and the rest... Murai Ryota is extremely unstable; he might go berserk and turn into Kurokuga at any moment.

Sakurai Keikazu, who is slightly older, is treated like a follower in front of a group of teenagers, despite being a senior.

If possible, an older man's face would be more suitable to be the team leader.

Although he has his flaws, he is at least a seasoned soldier who has been through many trials and tribulations and has far more experience than the trainees.

"Kaminaga!"

The members of the elite team walked towards the outer stands and headed straight for Xia Chuan without stopping.

The mysterious young man at the head of the group was dressed in a standard elite outfit, with a chiseled face and very sharp features, only his medium-length brown hair softened his features.

"I heard you're not participating in this operation, that's a real shame," the young man said, stopping in front of Xia Chuan with an imposing air. "Even a level 5 knight shouldn't miss this dungeon. You're too arrogant, Shen Yong. Being ahead for a while doesn't mean you'll always be ahead."
