Great, we're doomed now!

But I really do dream about you all!

"New City, calm down. I haven't misunderstood anything. I understand what you're saying," Daigo asked earnestly. "What did you see in your dream?"

"In my dream, you were Ultraman Tiga." Shinjo's voice was even lower, with a hint of uncertainty. "And there was Lucifer and Bayeri. The four of us fought that giant monster together, and I even turned into a red giant with incredible strength..."

He laughed after saying that, thinking the dream was too absurd, but Daigo suddenly said seriously, "That's not a dream."

"!"

Xincheng's smile froze.

"When the ancient civilization had not yet perished, there were many giants of light on Earth. They fought against the darkness to protect humanity. Later, the light of most of the giants dissipated, and some left forever... leaving only stone statues sleeping in the pyramids."

Daigo's voice was soft, but it made Shinjo hold his breath: "You encountered Darram, one of the ancient Titans. You resonated with his light, which is why you became a Titan."

Xincheng sat on the bed for a long time, speechless. Suddenly, he frowned and reached out to touch his body until his hand touched something hard on his chest. He subconsciously reached into his clothes and pulled out a dark red bracelet from his inner pocket. The gold ring of the bracelet was engraved with ancient patterns and faintly glowed with a red light.

“This is…” Shinjo’s eyes widened.

"The transformation device is the same as my Spark Lens." Daigo nodded with delight. "There's no mistake, Light has chosen you!"

Xincheng clutched the bracelet, his fingertips trembling: "So those weren't dreams after all..."

He really did become Ultraman and really fought monsters!

But after the initial excitement, a sense of bewilderment washed over him: "I... I had no idea how to use this thing. I was just fighting based on my giant instincts, like watching an animated film. I didn't even know how to turn back."

Seeing his helpless expression, Daigo recalled his own past anxiety and nodded in empathy.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him—

Daigo clapped his hands: "What a coincidence! I know an exceptionally skilled teacher who taught me and Masaki. He personally imparted all the techniques, which is why we were able to adapt to the giant's body so quickly... If you also become his apprentice, I guarantee you'll be able to master the power of light quickly!"

"Really? Is there such a good thing!"

Xincheng's eyes lit up: "Who is it?"

"Kusei Kage! Our TPC Captain Kuze!"

“Oh, I remember now, he’s Baye—cough cough, he’s a giant too, isn’t he?” Shinjo lowered his voice, afraid of being overheard.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Daigo patted him on the shoulder: "He's the one among us who understands the power of light the most. If you find him to be your teacher, I guarantee you'll be able to master the power of Darramb within half a month!"

Shinjo was stunned. Ye Shouping's usual nonchalant demeanor flashed through his mind. He knew Ye Shouping was a man of few words, but he never expected that the scion of the prestigious Kuse family would be not only a mecha pilot but also the human form of Ultraman.

This is really... too many identities, how can you manage?

“But be prepared,” Daigo gestured. “The training intensity might be a little bit high.”

"As long as I can become stronger, I can endure any kind of training!"

Xincheng puffed out his chest confidently: "Who do you think I am?"

Daigo couldn't help but laugh at his recklessness, but quickly stopped himself and said seriously, "Go for it, you can do it!"

"Then you should focus on recovering. Once you're discharged, I'll take you to report to Captain Ye."

-

"New City team member... New City team member... Do you still remember me?"

The first to appear was Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, its wing broken in half, its fuselage covered in rough scratches, and its once silvery-white outer shell now rusted. It tilted its head and "looked" at him, its voice as harsh as the friction of metal.

"New City, why did you leave me in Siberia after the last mission? I can still fly..."

"I--"

Xincheng wanted to explain, but couldn't utter a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the Deepsea emerged from the darkness, its hull split open with a large gash, and sparks still crackling from the wiring inside: "And me! You drove me into the monster's belly, and I'm completely destroyed. Don't you care about me at all?"

"No, I've tried my best, there's really no other way... I risked my life!"

"New City team members..."

What chilled him to the bone even more was that the helicopter he had flown in Brazil had come, its wings deformed and its armor misaligned. Its voice trembled with tears: "I just rolled off the assembly line, and you're already using me to crash into buildings! What did I ever do to deserve this...?"

"New City~"

"New City Team Member~"

"Master~"

The vehicles he had damaged transformed into bizarre monsters, surrounding him and bombarding him with questions. Xincheng, sweating profusely, suddenly shouted and broke free from his dream.

"I'll never do it again!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!

He was panting heavily, and it took him a long time to come to his senses. When he turned his head, he saw Daigo's shocked eyes.

"Did I... fall asleep again?"

Xincheng wiped his sweat and leaned back in his seat.

What he saw before him was not the scene from his nightmare, but the roof of a car. He was still wearing his seatbelt, and outside the window, the shadows of trees were rushing past.

"woke up?"

The passenger, Masaki Keigo, turned his head, adjusted his decorative mirror, and said calmly, "You kept muttering 'I didn't mean to,' were you having a nightmare?"

Shin-chan nodded, a little frightened, then looked out the window: "Where are we going? Shouldn't we be going to TPC headquarters?"

"Ye Shou said that there are too many people and too many eyes at headquarters, so we need to find a secret base for training." Zheng Mu pointed ahead, "We're almost there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car turned onto a secluded mountain road, passed through a tunnel that traversed the mountainside, and suddenly the view opened up before them—

A wide, flat area with a circular playground in the center, surrounded by several training facilities, and the Kuze Group logo printed on a warehouse in the distance.

As soon as Xincheng got out of the car, he saw a row of jeeps parked at the edge of the playground, while Ye Shouzheng leaned against the front of the car, playing with the odometer in his hand, looking at him with a half-smile.

Masaki Keigo's face showed a complicated expression when he saw this row of cars, while Daigo remained relatively calm.

He received a "modern education" and did not develop a negative impression of traditional teaching tools like Masaki.

"Wow, so many cars."

As a top-notch driver, Xincheng is proficient in all kinds of vehicles and has first-class driving skills. The scene in front of him immediately captivated him.

"So many classic models... Do you like collecting Jeeps? I prefer off-road vehicles."

"Collection? No, these are practical items." Ye Shou smiled modestly. "They'll come in handy soon."

"Ok?"

Shinjo didn't understand, but anyway, he saluted Ye Shoujing and said, "Captain Kuze, Shinjo of the GUTS team is reporting for duty!"

"To better protect the Earth, whatever kind of training you take, just throw it at me!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

Ye Shouye returned the greeting and said, "Keep your fighting spirit, Xincheng team member."

"Haha, I came prepared."

Under the complex gazes of the two people beside him, Shinjo exuded confidence and fearlessness, like an ancient Greek hero boarding the Argo.

"No matter what, I went through layers of selection to become a pilot in TPC, and I was even selected by [GUTS]... Regular military training can't make me feel any pressure."

“I’ve reviewed your file; you are indeed outstanding,” Ye Shou said sincerely. “But are you truly prepared?”

“Without a doubt!” Xincheng nodded emphatically.

In his imagination, serious military training goes without saying, and even some rather "weird" training content, like the kind in Jackie Chan's movie "Drunken Master"... he is confident that he can grit his teeth and persevere!

It can't be any more outrageous than that, right?

Captain Kuze is one of the founders of TPC, so he must have used scientific training methods!

"By the way, you don't look too good."

As Ye Shou opened the car door and got in, he checked the accelerator and brakes, then asked with apparent concern, "You must take good care of yourself, otherwise you might have a hard time during the upcoming training—"

"Can't it be finished?"

—I will die.

"What could it be? Oh, it's nothing. I've already recovered, there's absolutely no problem... I just had a nightmare on the way."

Shinjo laughed at himself when he thought about it: "I dreamt that I was being chased by planes and tanks, and they were like they came to life, haha... Doesn't that sound ridiculous?"

Huh... why aren't you guys smiling?

No, why are you making that face?

Captain... what do you mean by letting me choose one? Are you going to give me a car?

……wrong!!!"

Before Xincheng could react, the Jeep's engine roared to life...

Chapter 300: The Maid's Tactics (Revised)

When Ye Shou returned to the Kuse residence, night had already fallen.

Wow~

The hot water in the washroom kept flowing, washing away the dust and fatigue. He was a responsible coach, and Xincheng also showed great backbone. His stubbornness inspired his teaching enthusiasm. Today was a very enjoyable day.

With healing magic and the Holy Grail Mark, Ye Shou was confident he could pull the person back from the brink of death even if they did run into it.

As he got more and more excited, he simply pulled in Masaki and Daigo, who were standing by watching the show and occasionally making sarcastic comments, and drove the [Bayeri] to chase after the three human hosts... This will surely leave a strong mark in the history of the Olympics, right?

The three brothers are incredibly fortunate to have met such a good teacher and helpful friend as Ye Shou!

"Whoo~"

Shaking the water droplets off his hair, Ye Shou reached out and wiped away the white mist on the mirror, revealing a familiar face... He unconsciously drifted into thought of the battle in the Arctic Ocean.

King Zoga was the foremost rival he encountered in the 21st century, far surpassing the strength of the Machine Island. This battle would not be easy even with cooperation. Fortunately, he had made thorough preparations beforehand and was able to summon more than three Ultramen at once; otherwise, he would have been no match for this guy in a one-on-one fight.

It would be one thing if they couldn't win, but Ye Shou's situation is a bit different from others. For example, when Darram was captured by Zoga King, he was just playing a tentacle game for a while. But if Ye Shou gets caught in that... maybe a tyrant will awaken and drag Zoga King into the game too!

To avoid this situation from happening again, he should rely more on his teammates when encountering similar enemies in the future—this is the fundamental reason why he trained the three of them so hard.

And Daigo and the others, true to their "protagonist" status, actually managed to hold on...
