Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 72 Student Kiva

"Um?"

Natsukawa turned around at the sound, looking at Watari in confusion as his form changed and revealed Kiva.

Are you serious?

Avenging his father... isn't that a mistake?

"Huh?!" Fang Bat II exclaimed in surprise, "This guy doesn't seem to be from this world... Is he from the Knight World?"

"It seems so."

Xia Chuan was not surprised.

He knew this the first time he met the student.

People in this world can't become Kiva, and given that his name is Wataru, he's most likely from a parallel universe of Kiva.

However, unlike a normal Kiva, Wataru is limited by the rules of this world and also needs a fusion coefficient to transform.

Natsukawa's gaze swept over Kiva's figure and waist area.

Without activating its Demon Emperor form, even the transformed Fang Bat III lacked any intelligence.

Is it because the fusion coefficient is too low?

The knight levels in this world are 60, 80, and 90.

As time passed, Wataru's fusion coefficient still hadn't broken through 80, a world of difference compared to 90. He simply couldn't unleash the power of the suit as easily as Wataru.

Not to mention that Kiva is a censored and restricted version of Dark Kiva.

In Kiva, Wataru's performance after advancing to the Demon Emperor form was mediocre, perhaps because he only had half a Fang Blood Demon bloodline. Compared to Dark Kiva, he was almost a level below.

Now, the student Wataru is actually showing up with a regular Kiva.

Where did this kid get the courage to come up and die?

In this world, the knight rank does not completely represent strength, and fighting above one's level is not impossible, due to the differences in the battle suits themselves.

Some knight systems can unleash power comparable to someone at level 80 at level 60.

However, it is now clear that the fusion coefficient and the suit are being suppressed.

Is it ignorance or being blinded by hatred?

"call!"

Fireflies burned beneath Xia Chuan's feet, and with a wave of his hand, a black bat mark moved from the ground to beneath Kiva.

He wouldn't indulge even his own students.

This is a good lesson, so these guys don't get too overconfident.

The Gurongi-class hardly caused much of a stir.

Daguba could also be said to have been secretly dealt with by him. The only time he displayed his power in front of the knights was during the Hokkaido incident. He was terrifying, but after all, only Murai had ever faced Daguba directly.

The trainees seem to have forgotten the pain once the wounds have healed.

"Sizzle!"

The black bat mark rose from the ground as Xia Chuan clenched his fist, enveloping Kiva and binding him with electricity, rendering him immobile.

"What?"

Du was suddenly startled, and the heat in his head gradually subsided, replaced by a chill.

Time flew by so fast that by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late to break free.

They didn't even have a chance to fight.

"This is... Dark Kiva?!"

After struggling in vain amidst excruciating pain, Watari stared intently at the approaching demonic figure on the other side of the passage.

Oops……

"Hmph," the second Fang Bat grumbled again, "Now you know how powerful you are, huh? You really overestimated yourself..."

"Quiet."

Swish!

Xia Chuan raised his arm in a deep voice, suddenly pulling Kiva close from a distance, and with his cloak fluttering, kicked him back into the suspended barrier mark.

"Bang!"

"Ugh!"

The electric current exploded again, tearing Kiva's body apart. The power was no less than when he dealt with the rat-shaped blood demon. Each explosion was like an execution. Only Kiva's suit was strong enough to prevent it from being destroyed, but the pain was not lessened for the wearer.

Screams echoed repeatedly in the passageway.

almost.

He's still just a level 2 knight.

Xia Chuan glanced at Kiva, who was struggling in pain.

After the second pull, Kiva was flung to the other side of the passage with a wave of his hand, and the barrier mark dissipated into the air.

"call!"

"Ahem!"

Watari rolled away from his transformation, his face covered in sweat and dirt. His body was still twitching from the electric shock, and he could only barely lift his head to watch Natsukawa approach.

"Demon!! I..."

"Da da".

Xia Chuan strode past him, ignoring the gritting-teeth Watari.

Even after all this, you still dare to bare your teeth? What grudge do you hold against me?

He couldn't recall which version of Wataru and Dark Kiva had a blood feud involving the murder of each other's fathers.

but……

Forget it, he doesn't have much time to waste here.

We can't really kill them.

I'll ask about the situation when I get back to school.

"Whoosh!"

Ignoring Watari's painful roars from the underground passage behind him, Natsukawa quickly disappeared from the scene.

"hateful……"

Despairingly staring at the exit of the passage, and finding that Dark Kiva had completely disappeared, Du burst into tears, choked back sobs, buried her head, and clenched her fists, pounding the ground with all her might.

Why?

……

Ota District.

Near Leo's House.

Xia Chuan only deactivated the transformation after confirming that it was safe.

Although there are relatively few surveillance cameras in Japan here, and most of them are installed in private houses and shops, they can still be accidentally captured by cameras from any angle.

In addition, due to the Gurongi, the police have also installed many cameras in key locations.

It's better to be careful.

Looking at the familiar izakaya in front of me.

Xia Chuan entered, put down his wide-brimmed hat, took off his trench coat, and sat down at the bar.

He wondered when he would be able to travel to the knight world, where concealment was more effective. Otherwise, as the Alliance's surveillance became more and more powerful, he might not be able to hide his identity like this forever.

If possible, he hopes to always separate fighting from life.

No normal person wants to deal with endless troubles every day.

The ability to travel through the Mirror World in "Dragon Rider" is quite good. You can leave your travel time in the Mirror World. As long as there are mirrors, it's easy to go anywhere you want.

"Boss, the usual."

"Kaminaga?" The izakaya owner, who had just poured a cup of hot milk, came out from the back room and asked in surprise when he saw Natsukawa, "It seems like you haven't been here for a while. How's work going?"

"Generally, the students below are either a bunch of monsters or problem children."

"Haha, even you've learned to joke around now."

The boss shook his head and smiled, then beckoned to Detective Kudo in the corner.

"Where's Inspector Kudo? I heard there have been quite a few missing persons cases lately."

"We're just assisting with the investigation, what else can we do?"

Detective Kudo looked rather unwell, staring blankly at the news report on the television next to him.

Xia Chuan glanced at the report and saw that it was publishing the list of missing persons, along with a few photos of the scene. At each scene, empty clothes could be seen, but wallets and phones were intact.

"Mr. Aoki Amuo, 28 years old... Mr. Nishimura Takao, 20 years old... Ms. Makino Mako, 23 years old..."

"Damn it," said Detective Kudo, his face filled with sorrow as he clenched his fingers tightly. "The lady next door who greeted me every morning is now left with two children. I've tried my best to find her, but all I have is that set of clothes... I heard it's the work of a strange person called the Tooth-Blood Demon."

Xia Chuan received his hot milk but did not respond to the old detective's words.

He did wipe out a whole nest of rat-like vampires, but the exact number of them remains unknown.

Ultimately, the only way to completely eradicate the Blood Fangs is through humankind's own efforts.

All he can do is probably find and destroy the King of the Fang Blood Demons in this world as soon as possible.

Based on previous experience dealing with Daguba, the root cause of why ordinary monsters are difficult to eliminate seems to lie with these bosses.

Getting rid of the King of the Tooth Vampires should restore things to normal.

But who is the King of the Vampires in this world?

Surely it's not another bat-toothed vampire he killed in the dungeon, is it?

The Blood Demon appeared in this world before he traveled through time.

"Boom!"

evening.

Just as Xia Chuan was about to leave, a sudden downpour began outside, and it looked like it wouldn't stop anytime soon.

In this kind of weather, the rat-shaped vampires probably won't be active, right?

"Use mine, I just happened to bring one of my colleague's."

Detective Kudo followed him to the door, handing the umbrella to Natsukawa with an increasingly complicated expression.

To some extent, he and Xia Chuan, this washed-up hero, share an emotional connection.

"Mr. Kaminaga, please be careful and try not to go out alone. If possible, I'll take you back..."

"No need," Xia Chuan shook his head and smiled, "I'll stay upstairs tonight."

I can't handle Showa Knights, so unless something unexpected happens, I won't touch this book.

Although I also got into the fandom during the Showa era... I remember back then it was called something like Masked Rider, and some even used Ultraman directly.
