Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

The two, one in a wheelchair and the other pushing it, hurried back to the hospital as the sun set.

Reno Ichikawa, his eyes vacant, sat in a wheelchair, while Kafka Hibino, whose leg was in a cast, pushed him from behind.

Excessive muscle damage can be treated, but mental exhaustion is real. Seeing that both of them were close to their limits, Natsuki let them go.

“Senior…we’re almost at the hospital, we need to switch back.” Ichikawa Reno said to Kafka, forcing himself to stay awake as they got closer to the hospital.

As an ordinary person, he found it even more difficult to adapt to the sudden high-intensity training.

"Can you hold on?" Kafka asked uncertainly, looking at Ichikawa Reno, who was struggling to even lift a finger.

Today, every training session Ichikawa underwent was aimed at pushing the limits of the human body; the intensity was nothing short of hellish.

"I can... hold on a little longer." Ichikawa Reno got up from his wheelchair, let Kafka sit in it, and then pushed the wheelchair into the hospital. However, the expression on his face was not very natural; his soul seemed to be flying out of his mouth.

"Go for it, Ichikawa!"

“At this rate, we’ll definitely be able to join the defense force!” Kafka clenched his fist and encouraged him.

He believed that none of the other members who participated in the assessment with them had ever experienced such training, and that their chances of passing the assessment this time were very high.

Two months later is the first selection for the defense force assessment, and three months later is the second selection, which is also a practical assessment.

“Yes… even though it’s only the first day of training, I’ve already felt a very noticeable improvement in my physical fitness,” Ichikawa Reno, pushing his wheelchair, nodded and said.

He has lost count of how many times he broke his physical limits during today's training.

"Wait... Ichikawa, look at that!"

Suddenly, as Kafka passed through the hospital lobby, his attention was drawn to a television report. He stared wide-eyed and pointed at the television, gesturing for Ichikawa Reno to look in that direction.

"What...what!?"

"They've been wanted so quickly?!"

Ichikawa saw the wanted notice for Monster Number Eight in the news and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Does this mean I'm on TV?" Kafka's focus was rather unusual.

"Is that the point?!" Ichikawa Reno retorted.

Then he whispered a reminder: "You're wanted by the defense force... and you're a numbered monster at that. You absolutely mustn't transform in front of others anymore, or it will be very dangerous."

"I think so too..." Kafka nodded with a hint of fear as he looked at the grotesque image of himself on television.

The defense force is incredibly efficient.

Afterwards, they stayed in the lobby for a while.

After a few more news items, they saw another news item that surprised them but also made sense.

"Mr. Natsuki... is also wanted by the police."

"Wait! Mr. Natsuki!?" Kafka almost stood up from his wheelchair when he saw this news.

It's normal for someone to be wanted as a monster, but why is Mr. Natsuki also wanted?

"I'm afraid... it's because of the issue of unregistered residents," Ichikawa Reno guessed.

"Can not be done!"

"If Mr. Natsuki is arrested, who will train us?" Kafka scratched his head, completely unwilling to accept this fact.

Today's training went exceptionally well. He became familiar with his own power and even got a feel for partial transformations. In less than two days, he will be able to perform partial transformations. But now, his teacher is about to be arrested.

Where can I go to reason with this?

"It's alright, senior." Ichikawa Reno comforted him, recalling what Mr. Natsuki had said last night. "The defense force shouldn't be able to catch Mr. Natsuki."

"Besides... there's still quite a bit of time before the defense team's assessment."

"There's still time."

However, just as he finished speaking...

The next news broadcast on television immediately froze them in place.

"Excuse me, Vice Commander Itami, why did the Defense Force suddenly move up the time for the entry assessment?" a reporter asked the man sitting on the podium in a conference hall.

The man answering the reporter's questions is the deputy commander of the entire Japanese defense force. Although he is bald, the scars on his head and his upright posture show that he is a tough soldier.

"The frequency of monster disasters this year has increased by more than 50% compared to last year. The government hopes that we can better protect citizens in the future, so we have adjusted the selection and assessment of the defense force in order to recruit more outstanding soldiers."

Listening to Vice Commander Keiji Itami's reply on the television.

Kafka and Ichikawa Reno both gaped in astonishment.

"What!?"

"The selection test for the defense force is the day after tomorrow!?"

This change was difficult for them to accept at first.

This came so suddenly!

......

In Isezaki-cho, Natsuki walked along the bustling street, her gaze sweeping over the shops on both sides.

"What should I eat tonight?" He rubbed his hungry stomach, pondering what he should have for dinner.

Training two people had taken a toll on his energy, so he needed a good meal to replenish it.

Earth's food is truly delicious.

"However... it seems we won't be able to have dinner for the time being."

Natsuki noticed that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and their expressions were somewhat panicked, realizing what was about to happen.

Soon, all the pedestrians on the street had left.

All the shops along the street were closed, leaving only Natsuki on the entire street.

Three military transport vehicles were coming towards us.

"The evacuation of the public is complete. Next... we will take the suspect back." The deputy captain of the security team, with purple hair, stepped out of the transport vehicle. He was wearing a dark green combat uniform, and his silver-white light armor boots made clear sounds as he stepped on the ground.

He reported to the captain through the earpiece.

He walked forward with two other team members to the middle of the street, squinting as he met the gaze of the man in the floral shirt.

The team members in the other two transport vehicles also got out, holding weapons, seemingly ready for a battle.

"Oh...we really searched for a long time."

“Although this happened suddenly, could you please come with us?” Hoshina Soshiro asked the mysterious man.

The possibility that the other party is a monster is still in the stage of suspicion, but the fact that the other party entered the country illegally is certain.

Chapter 169 You're not playing by the rules!

"They arrived a little faster than I expected."

Xia Shu had her hands in the pockets of her floral shorts, and faced with such a scene, she showed no sign of panic.

Their gaze lingered on the closed restaurants.

"Couldn't you have waited until I finished eating before coming over?"

"You know how painful it is to be hungry?" Natsuki looked at Hoshina Soshiro with a helpless expression.

Practicing against the monstrous Kafka in human form is a physically demanding activity.

He felt like he could swallow even those few transport trucks now.

"I'm so sorry."

“I still hope you can cooperate with us.” Seeing the other party’s nonchalant attitude, Hoshina Soshiro was certain that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person. “Otherwise, our Third Branch of the Defense Force will take strong measures.”

Ordinary people would be somewhat flustered if they saw the defense force showing up at their door.

The first thing this guy did wasn't to defend himself.

"I'd really like to cooperate with you."

"But... I'll have to wait until I finish eating." Xia Shu's stomach was already rumbling, and as an elderly man whose health was already poor, he couldn't bear the hunger any longer.

In the previous world, thanks to his unity with Shinji, he didn't need to eat much.

However, here, eating is his only means of replenishment on Earth.

The aroma wafting from those shops that had hurriedly closed was making his mouth water!

"So...this is your answer." Hearing this nonsensical remark, Hoshina Soshiro slightly opened his narrowed eyes and reached for the two blades at his waist, wary of a sudden attack from the mysterious man.

Within the Third Branch of the Japanese Defense Force... or even the entire Japanese Defense Force, he was the most skilled warrior at defeating small monsters.

He is unsuitable for firearms made from the body tissue of monsters; he can only use melee weapons. In addition, the swordsmanship passed down from his ancestors for fighting monsters has allowed him to master this skill to the fullest extent, and no one has been able to surpass him to this day.

The reason he was leading the arrest mission, instead of Captain Abbemina, was because no one could beat him at defeating small monsters.

"The defense forces of this world are actually engaged in close combat?" Natsuki's eyes lit up as he looked at Hoshina Soshiro, who had entered battle mode.

The dark green combat suit, using some unknown technology, was enhancing the man's body, instantly pushing him beyond human limits.

And those two short knives, they're probably made of special materials too.

"Final ultimatum: cooperate obediently, or face forced arrest?" Hoshina Soshiro issued the final ultimatum to Natsuki, who remained motionless.

An undocumented immigrant, plus a huge monster of suspicion.

For the safety of the citizens, they absolutely cannot allow this guy to continue moving around the city at will.

"Calm down...tsk...never mind, let me help you calm down."

Natsuki sighed helplessly and chose the most efficient means of negotiation at the moment, walking towards Hoshina Soshiro in her flip-flops.

The next second, the figure disappeared.

"What...?" Hoshina Soshiro stared intently at the man, but failed to catch any of his movements. He only felt a strong gust of wind and his hand, which was about to draw his short sword, was pressed down.

The man appeared behind him in an instant, his movements so fast that he couldn't react without unleashing his full power.

Her squinting eyes widened completely as she turned around to look at the man who was gripping her hands tightly, unable to believe what had happened.

Hoshina Soshiro realized he couldn't break free from his opponent's control, so he tried to kick backward, but his opponent kicked him in the back of his knee with even greater speed, leaving him completely unable to put up an effective resistance.
