Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"Don't even mention a level 10 monster, even if we create a level 100 monster, it might not be useful. If we really push Cosmos to his limit, who knows which cosmic-level Ultraman might pop out."

Lucas is quite knowledgeable about Ultraman, having followed it closely in his youth.

Any Ultraman who has connected with the TV series is an absolute monster.

Hearing him say that, Albert nodded. Sure enough... Ultraman are all guys who are so strong they're unreasonable.

When Natsuki heard that this guy knew so much about Gauss and looked on with such admiration, she was surprised.

He quickly asked, "What about me? What about me?"

Do you know Ultraman Leah?

Xia Shu looked at him with anticipation, eager to hear him recount his heroic exploits from his youth.

Putting aside my current semi-retirement state, when I was young, I fought desperately against invaders in various galaxies across the universe, saving countless planets and their inhabitants—that was all my glory.

“This…” Lucas wanted to say he had no recollection of it, but when he met Natsuki’s expectant gaze, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Seeing his hesitant expression.

The expectant smile on Xia Shu's face froze, then she silently withdrew her forward-leaning body, her face expressionless, before leaning back in her chair, her expression contorted.

Old Dennis is going to isolate himself for a while.

......

After lunch break.

Tachikawa Base, the first training ground of the Third Army.

This is a vast stadium with a number of exercise equipment along the edge. Several defense vehicles are parked outside the exercise area, and figures that citizens look forward to walk out from it.

"Is that guy really as strong as Commander Shinomiya said?"

"Hey, Narumi, answer me!"

"Otherwise, your game console might be lost!" A man with long, golden-red hair, resembling a lion, looked at Narumi Gen beside him, frowning as he spoke in a disgruntled tone.

Jura Igarashi, 193cm tall, is the current captain of the Second Squad.

The man was tall and had a fiery temper. He had flamboyant eyebrows, and when he opened his mouth to speak, you could see the steel wires he was using to straighten them.

Beside him, Narumi Gen was engrossed in a handheld game, completely oblivious to where he was going, yet he didn't fall.

Upon hearing that Igarashi Jura was going to threaten him with a game console, the veins on his forehead bulged instantly.

"Come and try if you dare!" For Narumi Gen, a complete otaku, his game console is his life, and this guy is threatening his life!

How dare a mere captain of the Second Unit not take me, the captain of the First Unit, seriously!

"Forget it, forget it, we'll know when we see it with our own eyes." As the two were arguing, a man with a scraggly face and a thick beard walked over and advised them.

Ogata Jujutsu. Height 183cm, current captain of the Fourth Division.

The man looked to be around forty years old, with a flat head of hair and two long beards on his forehead. He was carrying a wine bottle and smelled of alcohol when he spoke.

"You... you can never be without alcohol." Captain Igarashi frowned as he saw the bottle of alcohol in his hand.

"Haha, wine is a good thing."

They walked toward the center of the stadium.

The main forces of other units have basically already gathered there.

“If we gather the main forces of each defense force together like this, we will definitely not be able to provide support in time if monsters appear in our respective areas of jurisdiction.”

"Sōshirō, are you sure that what we gain on this trip will outweigh the risks we will face?" A man half a head taller than Hoshina Sōshirō asked him.

Soichiro Hoshina, active-duty captain of the Sixth Division

This is Soichiro Hoshina, the captain of the 6th Defense Force, and the older brother of Soshiro Hoshina.

“Once you fight that guy, you’ll understand that he’s even more monstrous than a monster.” Hoshina Soshiro squinted at his older brother, his eyes seemingly filled with a competitive spirit.

The two had been learning Hoshina-ryu swordsmanship together since childhood, but Soichiro was much less talented than his older brother. His older brother joined the defense force before him and learned the family's swordsmanship much faster, so Soichiro was the goal he had always wanted to catch up with.

Soichiro Hoshina was also somewhat afraid of his younger brother. The boy's competitive spirit meant he would pester him to spar all day long, and what was most terrifying was that no matter how fast he improved, his younger brother would always catch up slowly.

"These... are the most elite forces in the defense force, the captains and vice-captains of each unit... just looking at them gives you a sense of their formidable strength!"

Behind Hoshina, Hibino Kafka looked at the people gathered in the center of the stadium and said with starry eyes.

These are all faces that frequently appear in the newspapers, and to see them all gathered here now is truly a feast for the eyes!

"I'm still quite a distance from them," Ichikawa Reno said, clenching his fists unconsciously as he looked at the captains.

Next, I will receive training from Mr. Natsuki along with these people.

My own liberation combat strength is only 50%, while the liberation combat strength of captain-level members is at least 90%.

He had only been in the defense force for a very short time and had only received a very short training period, but... when it came to the will to eliminate monsters and protect others, he was definitely no less determined than these people.

"I will prove to Mr. Natsuki that I can surpass them." Ichikawa Reno looked at these strong individuals, his eyes filled with a firm determination to surpass them.

Chapter 202 Let's Go Together

"Very confident, kid?"

Hearing Ichikawa Reino's encouraging voice from afar, Captain Igarashi, whose long hair resembled that of a lion, walked over, looked at the white-haired boy, and grinned.

"I acknowledge your courage, but unfortunately... you'll soon understand just how cruel reality can be."

"Thinking you can surpass us after just joining the defense force? That kind of thing only exists in comics."

Upon hearing this, Ichikawa Reino looked at the captain of the second unit.

The unwavering determination in his eyes showed no sign of wavering.

Such words, when heard by a young man with passion in his heart, only strengthened his resolve to move forward.

He clenched his fists and did not answer.

He wanted to prove his will through his actions.

"Captain-level is very powerful?"

"It seems the first lesson I'll be teaching you today is to recognize your own strength and the current state of humanity." The boy didn't reply, but the figure flying in from mid-air said with slight dissatisfaction.

As the voice rang out, dozens of elite guards in the stadium looked up at the unfamiliar man.

A man wearing a floral shirt and baggy shorts, holding a hamburger in his left hand and a Coke in his right, floated above them in a way that defied gravity, eliciting their astonishment.

The defense force also has flying equipment, which is a numbered combat suit made from the body tissue of Monster No. 4, but no suitable person has appeared for that combat suit yet, and no one can wear it.

The man before them was not wearing any combat gear and was able to break the rules of nature without the aid of external forces, which was truly beyond their expectations.

"A guy who flies out of thin air... It seems Commander Shinomiya wasn't lying to us." Captain Ogata, carrying a bottle of sake, said with interest, his slightly aged face showing a hint of intoxication.

"Sōshirō, is that him?" Hoshina Sōichirō squinted and asked his younger brother beside him, "He looks a bit unreliable, but he seems to be a very strong guy."

As a master of swordsmanship, Hoshina Soichiro was extremely sensitive to a person's "ki," which is a kind of energy that is revealed outside the body due to various factors.

He could vaguely sense the other party's power, but what he felt most directly was the other party's kindness, which was somewhat dazzling to his senses.

“A guy who’s unreliable but surprisingly reliable,” Hoshina Soshiro said, arms crossed.

Soon, the summer leaves fell to the ground.

He finished the rest of the hamburger in one bite, slurped up the remaining cola, and casually threw it into a trash can some distance away.

"Commander Shinomiya has probably already told you why I summoned you here."

“I know that many of you have your own pride.”

"However, pride is only possible if you have the strength to match it. In this training camp, I will show you your current shortcomings and then help you become stronger."

With his hands in his shorts pockets, Natsuki's 1.9-meter height gave him a commanding presence when he spoke, making the elite members of the defense force seem like a bunch of greenhorns to him.

He had witnessed far too many grand scenes and trained countless geniuses. Among these people, what he valued most was their character.

As long as one's mind is strong enough, even the worst person can surpass any captain-level player after being trained by him.

“Before that,” Captain Igarashi stared intently at Natsuki, showing no sign of yielding in terms of momentum, “shouldn’t you show us your strength first?”

"Otherwise, none of these words would be convincing."

He was eager to see just how good this guy really was.

Even the commander of the Shinomiya clan wouldn't dare claim he could train and improve the combat power of all of them.

It's said that this guy also dealt with the giant monster that appeared at the Tachikawa base before, which made him even more curious.

After he said this, many people showed the same expression. These captains and vice-captains of the defense team, and even the squad leaders who were expected to be promoted to captain, had not relied on their words to fight monsters all these years.

"Captains... are you going to challenge Mr. Natsuki?" Kafka, standing to the side, sensed the tense atmosphere and his mouth dropped open.

Inside the Tachikawa base building, the ordinary members of the Third Force, gazing at this scene from afar, also felt a great sense of anticipation.

"Those elites among elites, challenging Mr. Natsuki who can defeat that giant serpent...?"

Who will win?

"No monster in history has ever been able to receive a challenge from so many defense team captains."

"Come and see! Come and see!"

"A fight is about to break out!"

Although they couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, judging from the tense atmosphere, a fight was definitely about to break out.

They quickly called over all the team members who were idle in the base; such a scene was quite rare.

Seeing captains gathered together was already a rare sight, and there were quite a few people watching from the windows of the building. With this shout, the windows on several floors of the base building were packed with people watching this battle of the century.

Led by Captain Igarashi, everyone except Captain Narumi and the members of the Third Division instinctively placed their hands on their weapons.

Keeping these top-tier individuals in check is no easy task.

The members of the Third Unit who participated in the training camp—Captain Mina Abe, Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshina, Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, Kikuru Shinomiya, Lucas Lebel, and Takayuki Hashimoto—were all people who had been personally saved by Natsuki on the battlefield, so they did not participate.

Meanwhile, Narumi was still frantically pressing the buttons on his handheld console, seemingly at a crucial moment before clearing the game, completely oblivious to what was happening outside.

"Don't worry, to be fair, we'll take them one by one." Captain Igarashi ripped off his defense team jacket, revealing his combat uniform underneath. His muscles bulged, making him look even more like a lion.

His wide-open mouth and fierce eyes revealed a burning desire for battle.
