Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

"Want to hear more stories? Have you even passed the training yet? You step forward!" Kasa sneered, glancing sideways at him.

"Report! All A's!" Libut raised his hand, beaming with excitement, like a puppy begging for praise.

Everyone in the Land of Light knows that Instructor Kasa has the strictest standards. Once you get Instructor Kasa's approval, it's basically equivalent to meeting the standards of the Space Garrison, and even exceeding them in some aspects.

Don't be fooled by everyone's fear; it's because Instructor Kasa is truly ruthless. He's almost given these quantum life forms PTSD from the pain. But precisely because of this, Instructor Kasa's training results are the most remarkable.

As for everyone's mindset, they were very afraid when Instructor Kasa was around, but once he started going on duty, they began to miss him within two days.

Moreover, every time they returned from a mission, Instructor Kasa would tell them about the interesting people and things they encountered on the way out, in an educational way, to broaden the horizons of these trainees who were not yet qualified to go out alone.

You could say they were genuinely good to them, and nobody objected.

At most, a small group of children were still too scared—Kasa, who had placed Libut in play, turned to the right of Ooku with his hands behind his back, seemingly leisurely but actually very fast, watching the two childish kids tiptoeing and deliberately trying to escape with a half-smile:

"Hey, Nais, Zais, did your instructor go blind on a field mission? Or am I too old to be in charge of you two promising top students?"

"Sigh, go ahead, go ahead, do whatever you want, as long as you're happy. As for the peace of the universe, I, the instructor, will work harder. Even if I die, I'll take a life with me and get up again to fight. The burden won't fall on your shoulders, don't worry!"

Chapter 10 Bemula: Hey hey hey, kids, did you miss me?

"—"

The moment they were discovered, Nais and Zais froze completely at almost the same time, stammering and trying to explain themselves but scratching their heads, unable to find an excuse.

They had finally come up with the excuse of "going to the hospital to visit Mebius" when they heard the instructor waving his hand, his words of utter disillusionment towards them, and they were completely dumbfounded.

No, if the burden of universal peace doesn't fall on their shoulders, doesn't that mean they're being abandoned in their education and that they lack the Ultraman spirit?

This one is absolutely unacceptable!

"No, instructor! I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't have tried to skip training! It's all my fault, I'll reflect on it. Please don't give up on me! I really want to protect peace, I swear! Please, give me another chance!"

Both young men were on the verge of tears, almost bursting into sobs. They were so anxious that they wished they could kill a super beast right now to prove their point, even if they died or couldn't be saved by the life solidification technology.

This is a million times better than being misunderstood as someone who didn't want to protect innocent lives!

"Instructor, you can scold us however you want, train us to the bone as you please, but please don't be disappointed in us! We absolutely have no intention of giving up!"

Good children, they are all good children.

Kasa nodded inwardly.

He knew, of course, that the two young men were ambitious, which is why he said it specifically. After all, saying such things to people who don't have such ambitions would be pure moral blackmail.

But having ambition alone is not enough.

Zais and Nais had always given him a headache. Both of them were quite talented, and although they were exchange students from outside, he had always treated them the same.

As they grow up, they will have the opportunity to take over the responsibilities of Neos and Seven 21's Warriors Command and Space Security Agency.

But not only are they all too afraid of pain, one of them is even a germaphobe. How can this be allowed?

If we go out to fight in the future, will we back down if we feel pain? If we see monsters that are filthy and disgusting, will we just stand by and watch the world be destroyed?

We must resolve these two issues forcefully as soon as possible before they graduate, otherwise they will be targeted by aliens when they join the Space Garrison, which would harm both themselves and others.

"Is that really so?" Without revealing any satisfaction, Kasa stared coldly at the two young men with a serious expression.

Zais and Nais nodded rapidly, like chickens pecking at rice, both extremely anxious. "Yes, yes!"

"So that means you won't skip training, huh?"

"Yes, I promise!"

Although they knew that the training arranged for them after Instructor Kasa’s question would definitely be extraordinary, even if they were not qualified warriors, they were still qualified trainees of the Land of Light. Neither Zais nor Nais backed down, their eyes were firm.

This time, they must persevere no matter what!

Fortunately, they had each other in their own way, which put them at ease. No matter what happened, they would face it together.

"Good, that's more like it!"

His gaze softened, and just as Kasa was about to continue his lecture, he caught a glimpse of Mebius and Taro, who had recovered completely and were in high spirits, arriving together.

"Oh, let me see who this is. The little sun of the Land of Light has arrived? Please, please, see which student here has taken a fancy to today. Just grab him or leave him half-dead and throw him back. I don't mind, I don't mind at all."

hiss!

The terrible words startled Zais and Nais, who then saw Taro, who was hiding behind Mebius, looking shy and embarrassed. His already red body turned even redder.

Oh, so this isn't targeting the two of us? Then we should intensify our efforts! Awesome, let's drag another unfortunate buddy into this!

"Instructor, I apologize." Taro said in a muffled voice, scratching the back of his head in embarrassment as he stepped forward to admit his mistake.

Kasa: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"It's all my fault," before Taro could even speak, the model student Mebius rushed to take the blame. "I saw that Taro-senpai passed the Space Garrison's test and got the mission to hunt down the space monster Bemular, so I begged him to take me with him, and then..."

"And then you two top students from the Land of Light were beaten to near death by a mere Bemular?" Kasa laughed in anger. If that were the case, he, as the head instructor, should resign.

Bemular is indeed a rather famous ferocious monster in the universe. There was even one that made it onto the universe's most wanted list. When the first generation of space police led the team to capture it, several space police officers died.

But that was because it was the first time the Land of Light had encountered such a monster, and they were unaware that all the spikes on Bemular's back were filled with deadly poison. In order to protect the environment, they resorted to excessive hand-to-hand combat tactics.

No one actually died during the battle. Otherwise, if the entire team had been wiped out and only the first generation was left, how could the first generation, who had a three-minute time limit on Earth, have won by himself?

All the guards who died did so after the war, on the way back to the Land of Light with Bermuda, because they did not receive treatment and died from the poison.

They encountered the Bemular's venomous spikes too many times, their physical condition wasn't as good as the original, and the Bemular's venom was the strongest in its species, which is why they met such a regrettable end.

Since then, everyone has known that when fighting a Bemular, you should try to avoid touching its back, and this race has never produced another individual strong enough to almost defeat the first one.

That's why these tasks are assigned to newcomers who have just joined the team, so they can practice safely.

If Mebius and Taro can't even defeat Bemular, then the Land of Light probably has no future.

"No, no, no," Taro hurriedly waved his hands to explain, "we encountered remnants of the Baltan alien alliance."

"What about the remnants?" Kasa's voice turned truly cold.

What a bunch of Baltan aliens! Even after being defeated, they still haven't given up on coveting the Land of Light's technology. They're specifically targeting the future generation. They're even less civilized than the Emperor's Empire. They deserve to die!

"They're all dead. We won." Taro shrank back. "So, um, instructor, what do you think..."

"No way, you're a soldier who should be able to stand on your own now, why are you still calling me instructor?" Kasa reached out to stop him from continuing, and just sighed, earnestly advising him:

"Now that you've passed the assessment, you should have the awareness to shoulder the responsibility. Look at your maturity, where is it? There's always the possibility of unexpected events on a mission, you should be prepared from the very beginning!"

"The Land of Light has made too many enemies throughout the universe. Even without Baltan's remnants, there are still many people in the Dark Nebula watching us. Once you become a security guard, don't think you can relax for even half a second. You still need to train your vigilance, Taro!"

Chapter 11 Ribut, Mebius, have rebelled!

Taro was about to continue apologizing when Kassadin turned to Mebius, recalling the near-death body bearing the marks of an explosion from yesterday: "You used the Ultra Bomb, didn't you?"

“…Yes.” Mebius bowed his head. “Well…because the situation was too urgent.”

Kassa, who had temporarily let Taro go, didn't stop there with Mebius. Instead, he saw through the truth and said, "It's more than that, isn't it? I believe you if the situation is urgent, but can you honestly say you didn't have even a sliver of wishful thinking?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Mebius grinned foolishly, but there was also a serious apology hidden in that grin.

“I was too presumptuous, Instructor… I know you meant well, but I was still impatient and made you worry.”

"You didn't just hurt me, you hurt yourself!" Kasa was truly showing no mercy this time, his temper slightly flared. "I know what you're thinking. You think the Guillotine Blade is a forbidden technique, and the Ultra Bomb is also a forbidden technique. Since the Guillotine Blade has been unbanned for everyone, you want to try the Ultra Bomb too, don't you?"

"Let me tell you, luckily I taught you a special technique, and the Captain gave you the Mebium aura, so this time there were no aftereffects. Otherwise, if you had been left with some kind of permanent weakness like the Captain, you would have regretted it for the rest of your life!"

"The reason the Guillotine Blade technique was forbidden was because it was too bloody, and practicing it could potentially harm oneself. Its power was also slightly excessive. Therefore, with Ace and my encouragement, it was unbanned. As for the Ultra Bomb..."

"Yes, I did praise your body for being naturally suited to high temperatures. You might become the first person besides me and Taro to use this move, but the prerequisite is that your physical fitness must be at least at Jack's level. Otherwise, you're just asking for death. If it's too late, no one can save you!"

"Also a forbidden move, the reason for the Ultra Bomb being forbidden is only one: it causes too much damage to the bodies of our Light Clan. One wrong move and we could die. We can't rush to use this move!"

The Ultra Guillotine has been a forbidden technique since ancient times. When used outside the country, an application must be submitted to the Land of Light and permission must be obtained before it can be used.

Because of the complicated procedures, many people don't like to use this move in battle. In addition, it is difficult to practice, and before you can master it, you will likely injure your hand every time you practice. Over time, very few people in the Land of Light know it.

Later, it became widespread, no longer requiring applications, and trainees were very enthusiastic about this method, which was entirely driven by two factors.

On one hand, Ace brought back the news from outside that "children think Ultraman who uses a guillotine is cool," and with Kasa's promotion, the perception of Ultraman 18 billion was continuously reinforced.

On the other hand, there is the well-known defeat of the first generation on Earth, against the terrifying cosmic monster, Zetton, whom no one dares to underestimate.

The appearance of Zetton proves that Ultraman's most powerful finishing moves can sometimes be used against him, or even become a threat to him.

In this situation, the only options available are hand-to-hand combat, the Eight-Point Light Wheel, and Ultra Telekinesis.

However, none of these are as powerful as a beam of light. They might be fine against ordinary monsters, but to think that they could defeat Zetton is just wishful thinking.

Just when everyone was shocked and had a headache, Kassadin stepped forward and timely proposed lifting the ban on the Guillotine, a suggestion he had been thinking about for a long time.

Zoffy was strongly opposed at the time; he was too gentle and didn't want the children to suffer. But one sentence from Kasa left him speechless.

"Would you rather your warriors be helpless against Zetton, suffering defeat and death filled with regret and humiliation, than have them have a chance to turn the tide, with the only price being a little pain under the protection of the Silver Cross before they have even completed their training?"

Although the guillotine is also formed from energy, it has become a physical attack in nature, and monsters that absorb light cannot absorb the guillotine.

This is the same reason why Zetton couldn't absorb eight parts of the light wheel.

After that day's questioning, there were no more obstacles to lifting the ban on the Guillotine and promoting it; Zoffy even helped him with the publicity.

Kassa was very pleased with this achievement; having everyone wield the Guillotine Blade significantly boosted combat power.

But now he understands what Zoffy was worried about back then. These young men have lost some of their awe of the Guillotine after seeing that it was no longer forbidden.

Once he's done with these last couple of days, he'll definitely go find some elders in the Land of Light who are the same generation as the captain and ask them to compile a book of forbidden techniques, explaining the principles and reasons for prohibiting all of them.

That's not enough; the names and experiences of those who suffered irreversible consequences due to hasty practice and use of forbidden techniques at the very beginning of the Land of Light's evolution must also be included.

Then it was printed out and distributed to all the trainees.

To prevent them from acting recklessly and arbitrarily again!

As for now...

"You two, and you all, come here. Libut, you come too. The rest of you, train on your own first."

Amidst the pitying gazes of the trainees, Taro, Mebius, Zais, Nice, and Ribut were all taken away.

Everyone knew what they were about to face; this wasn't the first time.

All five of them had already mastered the art of warming up without any instruction, firing some Specium Rays, rubbing some eight-point light wheels, and throwing a straight punch to warm up their hands.

The closer they got to the ring, the more tense the five became, exchanging glances with each other.

The battle began the moment Kassa stepped into the ring—they had already suffered from being overtaken by the first move.

"Not bad, you've improved!"
