Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 602 I Want to See You, Mentor

Nexus, Tokyo.

A year has passed, but the team of students led by Hiroko Asami still hasn't found any more clues.

Information about Lypia is only preserved by TLT, and not many people know about it. Humans only know that the giants saved the world a year ago, but they still have to face the threat of alien beasts on a daily basis.

TLT finally managed to resolve the troubles it caused, and MP was forced to disband, retaining only the basic intelligence investigation department, with former manager Matsunaga and Shuto Saya serving as the head and deputy head of the department, respectively.

At the same time, the size of the Night Raid Team increased significantly, and everyone took this opportunity to be assigned to the front lines of battle.

With the aid of knightly power in battle, almost everyone gained a lot of merits over the course of a year. Finally, under the planning of Hiroko Asami, they successfully promoted to the main combat team and eliminated the Night Raid Team B, which had been wiped out many times before.

The team consists of five people, including captain Hiroko Asami, representing the knight school team of this world.

The remaining five people who entered the instance were also from the same group of players who awakened their memories and the Knight system due to the restoration of the Divine Mirror, but they did not form a team or choose to join the Night Raid Team. Instead, they carried out their activities privately.

Aside from the middle-aged Goto, the other four are all of unknown origin and seem mysterious. No one knows what they have been up to this past year, and even TLT cannot find any information about them.

"So where did those guys come from?"

Fujiwara Saiji, dressed in his uniform, lay heavily on his single bed in the dormitory, his head resting on his pillow as he looked at the computer on his desk.

A group photo of the new B group was displayed next to the computer.

Captain Hiroko, him, and also Hojo Emu, Watanabe, and Onoue Takumi.

"If my advisor were still here..."

Fujiwara Saiji's eyes held a depth and weariness that seemed incongruous with his youthful physique.

Afterwards, they contacted the middle-aged man, Goto, but he didn't show any data panel. The reason he entered the dungeon was simply that he "owed Kaminari a favor."

The only special ones are Captain Hiroko and these former students of Instructor Kaminaga.

Each battle is calculated using panel data, and the final result is real power added to oneself.

If things continue like this, they might be able to break through the limits of humanity and become a Class D cosmic life form as determined by the panel.

but……

"Where are you, mentor?" Fujiwara Saiji asked, his face full of melancholy.

They don't have much time left, and yet they still don't even know how the Star of Light conducts its trials.

There's also the magical mirror that appears and then disappears.

Extraterrestrials still exist in this world...

"Since you gave us this panel, it means you haven't given up on us, so why don't you meet with us?"

In that instant, Fujiwara Saiji thought of many things, and all sorts of thoughts came rushing in.

The timeline reset erased the Knights Era, but some memories will never be forgotten.

"Everyone still remembers you and wants to see you again."

"Whoosh!"

Okuno Town.

A faint light flashed across the sky above the town, but because it was daytime, it went unnoticed. Only the little girl Riko tilted her head and looked at it with a puzzled expression.

The place where two generations of Mephisto once fought, Mizoro Mokujin, slightly disguised, also sighed as he looked at the old scene.

After the final battle, Jun Himeya returned to his old job as a war correspondent, while he saved some money and returned to Japan, intending to slowly atone for his past mistakes.

He is also himself, influenced by darkness.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, atonement will become his life goal from now on.

"Um?"

Like the little girl Riko, Mizoroki also sensed the abnormality in the sky.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing a haggard, stubble-faced man looking around the mountains in confusion. Just as he was wondering what was going on, his body suddenly jolted, and he saw a white light descending from the sky and crashing into him.

"Lypia..."

"Clang!"

The red light in the pupils expands and then contracts.

The will of Natsukawa descended upon Nexus once more, and only after exploring the area did he realize that he had taken over the body of Mizoroki Shinya.

He hadn't originally planned to return to Nexus, because he always felt that the game was very complex.

However, despite trying everything they could, Ultraman Tiga couldn't break through the dimensional barrier. They couldn't even get into the projection, let alone interfere with the instance.

In the end, we can only think of a solution from here.

Based on the information he has gathered so far, the instance anchor points can be roughly divided into three layers: "establishing a connection", "strong existence interference", and "combat carrier".

Without an anchor point, the consequence is the same as when he separated from the solitary gate: even the concept of existence will be erased by the copy.

Or like his encounter with Daigo, after the original anchor point failed, he was directly ejected from the instance.

Goroki Makoto is currently on the second level, which just meets the requirements, since he didn't come back for battle this time.

Most importantly, it's not as conspicuous as a secluded place, so it won't easily arouse suspicion.

He was never avoiding Hiroko Asami and the others, but rather the divine mirror behind these beings in this world.

He probably won't show up until he's promoted to S or even higher.

"Bang!"

Xia Chuan's clothes fluttered, and before the townspeople could get close, he transformed into a blur, tearing through the air and instantly arriving at the town's tunnel entrance, leaving only a muffled thud like an air cannon.

But is Goroki still being hunted by TLT?

There seems to be a lot of trouble around me.

……

Freedom Fortress.

After a quick wash, Fujiwara Saiji went to the restaurant for a meal and was surprised to see the current vice-captain of Group A also queuing up.

His primary objective now is to find the suitable candidate in Lypia, Kazuki Komon.

The former vice-captain of Group A heard that he was to be transferred to headquarters and that Komon would be taking over. After learning this news, he was thinking about whether there was a chance to be transferred to Group A.

With his current life level nearing a breakthrough, joining Group A is no problem at all. It's just that Captain Hecang is a bit neurotic and has never considered accepting new team members.

Perhaps the only way to find a breakthrough is through Kazuki Komon.

If they're on the same team, they should be able to uncover more information, right?

"A solitary gate!"

Captain Wakura, whom Fujiwara Saiji had been nagging about, appeared on the other side of the restaurant with a document in his hand. He glanced warily at Fujiwara Saiji and then cautiously called Komon Kazuki away.

"The administrator has new information; it's said that Mizoroki Masaya has reappeared near Okuno. I'd like to entrust this matter to you. It would be more appropriate for you to contact him, given what happened before..."

"Is that Mizoroki Shinji?"

Fujiwara Saiji watched the two of them walk away, still feeling bewildered.

Captain Hecang seems particularly wary of the members of Group B. Is it because their physical examination results are higher than those of the normal team members?

Even the TLT leaders didn't say anything, and this guy didn't know what was going on either.

The Night Raid team still has too many secrets.

It seems we should first check the history of Group A, especially the former members.

"Interesting," Kira Sawa opened his eyes, his fingers crossed, in the base command room. "These people seem to be from the same world as Lipia?"

He kept a close eye on the "Kamen Riders" who appeared after the disappearance of Lipia throughout the year. Apart from Hiroko Asami, who made him feel a little dangerous, all of them possessed superhuman strength.

And for some reason, hunting alien beasts seems to make these people continue to grow stronger.
