Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

Chapter 253 TLT New Physiotherapy Practitioner - Minghui

"Mr. Minghui! What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing the familiar figure appear before him, Komon Kazuki's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed in astonishment.

Today is his second day with the Night Raid Team. The unfamiliar environment and the unexpected workload have made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the events of the past two days had a significant impact on him. He had never imagined that beneath the seemingly peaceful world lay a terrifying truth unknown to most people.

This even made him feel a little confused.

However, he never expected to run into an acquaintance here.

"See? I told you so. Maybe we'll become colleagues."

Seeing Komon Kazuki's surprised expression, Akira couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He keenly sensed a hint of confusion in Komon Kazuki's eyes, but Minghui did not think that the latter lacked mental fortitude.

This is perfectly normal.

No one would readily accept having their understanding of things overturned in a single day, even if it had been for over two decades.

The fact that he wasn't overwhelmed by the existence of those monsters and was able to resolutely stay in the Night Raid Team proves that he is better than most people.

"Mr. Minghui, are you... are you also a member of the Night Raid Team?"

Komon Kazuki asked.

"Of course not!"

Before Minghui could answer, Shiori Hiraki, who was standing beside him, spoke first:

"They are from other departments, and you will find out their specific positions later."

"But Minghui, do you know our new team members?"

Halfway through her sentence, Shiori Hiraki turned her gaze to Akira across from her and raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Ah, Komon is my friend. By the way, where are you going?"

Minghui explained something to them, then looked the two of them over and asked a question.

Shiori Hiraki shrugged, raised the long spear she was holding and gestured to Akira, saying:

"Commander Matsunaga has assigned me to be the new recruit's combat instructor, and now I'm taking him on a tour of the training grounds. However, it will be much more convenient once you two get to know each other; the new recruit can ask you for help with anything in the future."

As she spoke, a sly smile appeared on her face.

"This is clearly your job..."

Minghui smiled helplessly, then teased him:

"However, you should be careful about the intensity of your training. Don't accidentally overdo it and damage your technique."

Although Shiori Hiraki looks like a gentle girl, she is actually a former policewoman and her skills are better than most men's.

"Tch, a grown man can't be inferior to me!"

Shiori Hiraki pursed her lips upon hearing this.

Did you break it during practice?

Ida had been listening to their conversation, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but swallow hard, a hint of regret in his eyes as he looked at Shiori Hiraki.

Could it be that the seemingly cute Shiori is actually a tomboy? What a pity, I was hoping...

Shiori Hiraki frowned, sensing that someone was talking badly about her behind her back.

"Um... Mr. Minghui, could you please come over here for a moment?"

At this moment, Komon Kazuki spoke up, gesturing to the side towards Akira.

"Oh?"

Minghui asked in confusion, then took a step and followed Komon Kazuki to the side.

"what happened?"

"As you can see, I need to undergo training during this period, and this training is closed, so there's something I might need to ask you for a favor."

Kazuki Komon grinned, a hint of embarrassment in his smile.

"About Riko?"

Upon hearing Komon Kazuki's words, Akira understood and smiled gently.

"Yes, my training will last for a month. I'm afraid Riko will worry if I don't contact her for so long."

Kazuki Komon seemed a little embarrassed, but his smile broadened whenever Riko Saida was mentioned.

"If you're going out, please let her know I'm safe when you have time."

"No problem, I'll be there. Focus on your training."

Minghui smiled and agreed.

He understood Kazuki Komon's predicament; the two were deeply in love, and anyone would be worried if their boyfriend suddenly disappeared for a month.

However, to be fair, Kazuki Komon should really thank himself. If it weren't for him, who knows what he might be dating right now.

"Hey, are you guys done whispering? If you don't leave soon, we won't have enough time for training!"

Shiori Hiraki's voice came from not far away.

"Ah, here it comes!"

Komon Kazuki quickly agreed, then made a pleading gesture to Akira again before running to Hiraki Shiori's side and following her away.

Minghui watched the two figures disappear around the corner, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

At this time, Kazuki Komon was still somewhat inexperienced and not yet capable of fulfilling the duties of a soldier.

Moreover, Minghui also had a slight worry in his heart.

Riko Saida was saved by him, which meant that Kazuki Komon had one less layer of training. Without this period of growth, could he still show the invincible brilliance of Noah in the end?

"What's wrong, team leader?"

Seeing that Minghui had not moved for a long time, Jingtian asked with some doubt.

"Ah, it's nothing, let's go."

Minghui snapped out of his daze, smiled, and turned to walk away.

His gaze lowered, a glint of light within it.

Growth doesn't necessarily have to be driven by suffering. If the safety of a world has to be bought with the pain of a young person, then it would be far too cruel for that young person.

This is not the outcome he wanted.

Ida and Matsumura followed quietly behind Akihiro. They felt a pressure from his back and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.

The three walked in silence until they arrived at an office.

The office wasn't large; three desks took up almost half the space, and the desks and floor were piled high with paper materials, making it even smaller for the three people to stand.

But even in such a simple office, Ida and Matsumura were extremely satisfied.

It's important to understand that the Memory Police department has quite a few people, and the base can't possibly provide an office for every one of them.

Most of their colleagues work in a noisy lobby, so their conditions are already incredibly good by comparison.

They were able to receive such treatment thanks to Minghui's leadership in successfully completing various tasks.

Speaking of this, both Ida and his companion felt a pang of emotion. Although they had only worked with Team Leader Minghui for a few short months, they had to admit that there were differences between people.

As far as they knew, Minghui was promoted from a member to a team leader in just one month after joining the Memory Police.

During the mission, he was able to complete even the most difficult tasks perfectly, and under his influence, the efficiency of the entire department increased by a full 20%.

Add to that the extraordinary martial prowess discovered just yesterday...

Good heavens, being a memory police officer is such a waste of talent!

With these thoughts in mind, the two people who entered the office looked up and found an uninvited guest in the room.

It was a woman with short hair. She was sitting in Minghui's seat, casually flipping through the reports on his desk, looking rather bored.

When she heard the door open, she looked up at the group of people, her face grim and she didn't say anything.

"Nishi...Vice Captain Saijo Nagi!"

Ida let out a soft gasp, his body tensing slightly.

Even though he had met him many times, he still felt nervous every time he saw Saijo Nagi's serious expression.

Saijo Nagi nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Akihiro.

Seeing this, Matsumura tugged at Ida's sleeve, then turned to Akira in front of him and asked for instructions:

"Team leader, we still need to discuss some details regarding a collaboration report with Group C. We'll head over there now."

"Well, let's go."

Minghui nodded.

Upon receiving a response, Matsumura quickly pulled Ida out of the room, and thoughtfully closed the office door behind them as they left.

After the two left, Minghui stepped forward and sighed softly:

"Not getting enough rest again?"

Saijo Nagi's initially serious expression gradually relaxed, a hint of weariness appearing on her face, and she nodded gently.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

“It’s not that it’s troublesome, but I think it’s just a temporary solution. Instead of coming to me, I would suggest you see a psychologist.”

Minghui shook his head, walked around the materials piled on the ground, and went behind Saijo Nagi.

He then raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder.

Feeling the pressure on her shoulders, Saijo Nagi slowly leaned back in her chair, gently closed her eyes, and said:

“Psychotherapists can’t help me. Instead of spending two hours having pointless conversations with those guys, I need to get a good night’s sleep.”

"Okay, I'll grant your small request."
