After sinking into the ground for a few seconds, Dark Mephisto's body also grew larger, breaking free from Nexus's stomping.
“Hmph, I’ll deal with you next time.”
Dark Mephisto looked at Nexus, dropped a threat before his body emitted a幽綠色的光芒, and became increasingly transparent, then disappeared. This is instant movement, a divine skill that allows Dark Mephisto to escape.
In a dense forest, Gou Lumu Zhen Ye appeared, his forehead covered in sweat. He was clutching his chest, having been kicked by Zhao Hao and then stepped on by the gigantic Nexus, sustaining considerable injuries.
“Zhao Hao!”
Gou Lumu Zhen Ye’s eyes narrowed with a look of malice as he pounded his fist against a tree, releasing his inner anger. He couldn’t believe that a mere 20-year-old kid could actually suppress him in battle and even injure him. It was completely unexpected.
Originally, he wanted to give Zhao Hao a lesson, increase his mystique, and leave a shadow in the other's heart. But unexpectedly, the other saw through him completely. After the battle, he ended up losing more than he gained, instead, Gou Lumu Zhen Ye felt that Zhao Hao was somewhat mysterious.
A youth who obtained the Light years ahead of his time, possessing formidable abilities after five years of devilish training, simply unbelievable.
On Nexus’s side, after Dark Mephisto left, he stood still for a few seconds before his body dissipated into the wind.
“He’s gone?”
The Night Raid team members looked blankly at the spot where Nexus disappeared.
At the Night Raid headquarters, the four returned to the conference room, which essentially doubled as their resting room.
Ping Mu Shi Zhi sat down and said: "I can't believe we saw that silver giant again, along with a black giant. I wonder how they ended up fighting."
"Giant, you saw the silver giant again?"
The speaker was Gu Men Yi Hui, who had only joined the Night Raid team recently. Because he was a newbie without much combat experience, he was still in the training phase, needing to build up his physical strength, familiarize himself with the Night Raid's various weapons, simulated flight, and a whole host of other special training before he could officially join the Night Raid team and go on missions. This phase would take quite a while to complete.
Ever since he saw the replay on the big screen here last time, he had developed a fondness for the silver giant, although he was also a little angry that the silver giant had attacked the vice-captain.
But putting himself in the other's shoes, if he were suddenly attacked by a stranger, the normal reaction would be to fight back. At least Gu Men Yi Hui was not a coward, and he could understand the silver giant's actions, so he had let it go.
Xi Jiao Na with a cold face said, "Those are all Kaiju, they must be eliminated!”
When she was a child, her mother was killed by a Kaiju, right in front of her. That scene had a huge impact on the young Xi Jiao Na, and it was the reason why she hated Kaiju so much, she wanted to kill all of them.
Gu Men Yi Hui didn't understand why Xi Jiao Na hated Kaiju so much. He retorted, "Vice-captain, in my opinion, that Ultraman is not a Kaiju. He’s our comrade, because his enemy is also our enemy.”
He Cang Ying Fu looked at Gu Men Yi Hui in confusion, "Ultraman?"
Gu Men Yi Hui explained, "Ah, it was just a name that came to mind when I saw the silver giant.”
“Ultraman, the name isn't bad. From now on, we will call him Ultraman.”
Jila Ze You appeared in the conference room at some point using a holographic projection. The members of the Night Raid team all stood up respectfully and greeted him. Despite his young age, he was their combat commander, ranking higher than the captain.
Then, Jila Ze You held a short meeting for them and left.
…
“Gou Lumu Zhen Ye, I have to admit, he’s a tough nut to crack.”
Zhao Hao returned to the rooftop of the school and felt the pain in his chest, the result of being attacked by Mephisto's claws during the fight.
Because of the fusion with the Light, Zhao Hao's body is Nexus, and Nexus is Zhao Hao, the two are inseparable. So the stamina he consumed, the injuries he received, all fed back to Zhao Hao 100%.
Zhao Hao sat on a bench and reviewed the fight against Dark Mephisto in his mind, what were his shortcomings, how could he deal with him more easily the next time they met?
About an hour later, the school grounds began to buzz with activity. Zhao Hao could hear it from the top floor of the teaching building rooftop, which meant the opening ceremony was over.
Zhao Hao turned and left the rooftop, returning to his classroom. The first day of classes began quickly.
On the first day of school, the classes were quite relaxed. Before long, the morning was over.
At noon, most of the students went to the canteen for lunch. Although it was mass-produced food and didn't taste great, it was at least edible. Some students brought their own lunchboxes, or bought milk and bread from the canteen to fill their stomachs.
Zhao Hao didn't have time to prepare lunch, and besides, his cooking skills weren't very good, so he ate in the canteen.
After waiting in line for a few minutes, Zhao Hao got his food and found an empty seat to sit down.
The canteen food didn't taste very good, but Zhao Hao wasn't picky, as long as it filled his stomach.
“Dong…"
Shortly after Zhao Hao sat down, someone else sat down opposite him. He looked up and saw that the girl was an old acquaintance.
Zhao Hao chewed the food in his mouth and then said in a faint voice, "Don't you have a place to sit? Why do you have to sit opposite me?"
Because the one sitting opposite him was Sakurajima Mai, a big name in the school, no less famous than him or Yuibuki Takuhai. If he and Yuibuki Takuhai were called gods, then Sakurajima Mai was the goddess. Her appearance was extremely outstanding, making it impossible to forget her. Coupled with her mature figure, black silk and long legs, wherever she went she would become the focus of everyone's attention.
After all, she was a child star who debuted at a young age and had been beautiful all her life. It was just that she had not participated in any acting activities in the past three years, gradually fading out of the entertainment industry.
"You're quite handsome, sitting opposite you makes me feel like I could feast my eyes on you.” Sakurajima Mai said expressionlessly, a statement that most girls wouldn't say.
Zhao Hao didn't even bother to raise his eyelids as he replied, "Do you think a man can be described as being 'feasting my eyes on you'? If you don't know how to use words, then don't use them."
Zhao Hao and Sakurajima Mai met in their second year of high school. One day on their way home from school, Zhao Hao saw a few punks harassing Sakurajima Mai, and they even tried to get handsy with her. The people around saw it but didn’t dare to step in, because they knew their own abilities and were afraid of getting into trouble. They didn't want to be heroes.
So Zhao Hao stepped forward and beat up the punks. It’s a cliché way for them to meet.
After that, they became somewhat acquainted and chatted a few times. Their interaction was seen by others and rumors began to circulate about them dating. Zhao Hao simply didn't bother to explain, and Sakurajima Mai didn't care, so the rumors spread further and further. After a while, however, there was no real development between the two, and Zhao Hao was often absent, so the rumors subsided.
In their third year of high school, they were in the same class and sat next to each other.
Sakurajima Mai didn't say anything, but just ate quietly. After a while, she looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Do you believe that there are people in this world who can't be seen by others?"
