Chapter 78, Section 77. Taro: Those kids really should come and see Jiang Yu (Third Update)
In the afternoon, having just taken a shower and changed his clothes, Hikaru Alita nervously pressed the doorbell of Ishido's house.
Everything around was familiar; everyone in Jiangxing Town seemed the same as before.
When I arrived, Hikaru was eating ice cream with a kid named Yuta and listening to a story about a strange bull horn doll.
The bull horn dolls that seem to appear in various places make me feel like there are many places in Falling Star Town worth exploring.
The only place that made the auditorium feel unfamiliar was actually the home of his childhood sweetheart.
Although Grandpa explained that it was just a stranger staying at Meiling's house, why did he insist on staying there?
Can't we go to a shrine?
—It seems I'm also staying at the school temporarily.
No, even so, it's too strange for a strange man to appear in Meiling's house.
As Guang was lost in thought in the auditorium, the door to Shi Dong's house opened, and a sense of danger instinctively washed over him, causing him to unconsciously turn his head.
Mirei Ishidou retracted the energy blast gun she had raised, looking at Hikari, who was somewhat startled, with a mixture of surprise and delight.
"Xiao Guang, you're back from your adventure? Come in quickly."
"Yes, Meiling, what's this in your hand?"
Hikaru carefully pointed to the energy blast gun in Misaki Ishidou's hand; the thing always made him feel very dangerous.
Hikaru's adventurous experiences abroad have given him an extraordinary faith in his intuition, which has saved many lives.
"Oh, you mean this? Mr. Jiang Yu lent it to me for self-defense."
Shi Dong Meiling explained with a smile that she didn't mean to mention the light and darkness that Jiang Yu had talked about.
She herself didn't understand what these things were; in her mind, Hikaru was just an ordinary person who loved adventure.
If possible, it's best to avoid getting involved in these matters.
"Mr. Jiang Yu, is that guy's name?"
Hikaru Mudou muttered to himself, "Where did such a strange person come from to lend something so dangerous to Misaki Ishidou for self-defense?"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang Yu is a very good person. I'll arrange for Xiao Guang to meet him sometime."
"Haha, okay, actually we can do it now."
I heard my grandfather and the principal talk about him at school, and I'm quite curious about him.
Sitting on the sofa in the auditorium, Guang looked around at the surroundings. The furnishings hadn't changed much, but it felt a bit cleaner than before.
Meiling is indeed as capable as ever, managing to clean such a large house so thoroughly by herself.
Mei-rei Ishidou brought over a cup of tea, her face showing some regret.
"Xiao Guang, you're late. Mr. Jiang Yu left half an hour ago."
"Going out? Why would he go out on such a hot day? Does he have something important to do?"
After accepting the tea and thanking him, Hikaru asked in confusion.
Mirei Ishidou shook her head, put the tray back in the kitchen, and the sound of water rinsing from the faucet began.
"It seems like he went to train; he usually doesn't come back until quite late."
"Do you know where we're going?"
"The back mountain."
On the back mountain, Jiang Yu was hopping uphill like a frog, with Taro cheering him on using Ultra Telekinesis beside him.
Because the sunlight was too intense and the training time had been quite long, Jiang Yu was already drenched in sweat.
However, his gaze remained firm, and he was in high spirits.
This basic training wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for Jiang Yu, but rather a decision made after consulting with Taro.
Putting aside the "Ultraman Sixth Brother" joke, Taro, as the prince of the Land of Light, underwent rigorous training from a young age.
During his shifts on Earth, he fought against countless monsters and aliens of all sizes, accumulating a wealth of combat experience.
After returning to the Land of Light, he also served as the chief instructor.
In short, given Taro's experience, teaching Jiang Yu, a mere greenhorn, combat was simple—
Straight is the most appropriate.
Whether Jiang Yu transforms into a fighter or a flesh monster, he always relies on his passion.
They weren't exactly fighting without any strategy, but they weren't much better than street thugs.
The only explanation for their previous victories was that they were basically winning based on sheer numbers.
If you don't go into battle with Faust with the mindset of certain death, the outcome is hard to predict.
Therefore, improving combat skills and mastering the fundamentals becomes a crucial aspect.
Unlike the younger generation who often rely on external forces, Showa-era veterans relied almost entirely on their rich experience, making them exceptionally fierce in battle.
Because they know how to exert their full strength, or even achieve twelve times the effect.
This is exactly what Jiang Yu is lacking right now.
He wanted to be a player who relied on his own strength, even if it meant constantly gathering power, he couldn't be a weakling who couldn't defeat others because he wasn't strong enough.
Nexus was supposed to have a tutorial for beginners, but Jiang Yu didn't.
When Tyro learned of Jiang Yu's request, he readily agreed.
Ever since they learned that Zero used the power of the Plasma Spark to defeat Belial, who had swept through the Land of Light, many of the new generation of Ultra Warriors in the Land of Light have been wavering in their minds.
His mind was filled with thoughts of borrowing power, or simply having Hikari develop some advanced gadgets.
Taro alone has witnessed Hikari being surrounded and begged by a group of Ultra Warriors at least five times.
It's true that time has been stopped now, otherwise we should let them all see what Jiang Yu did.
Taro had already prepared his words of advice: "Look at other people? How come they work so hard?"
The frog-jumping training was part of Taro's training plan, designed to develop Jiang Yu's muscle memory, which would greatly improve his reaction speed in combat.
There are also other methods such as kicking trees and rolling to dodge.
Since it's not the Land of Light, there aren't many high-tech facilities, so everything has to be kept simple.
Taro originally wanted to try the jeep tactics that Seven used when teaching Leo, but Jiang Yu politely refused, saying that he couldn't get his hands on a jeep at all.
Actually, the Jeep wasn't that useful. Jiang Yu's physique far surpassed that of an ordinary human, and what he lacked more now was control.
What Jiang Yu coveted most about Taro was his unique Swallow Flying Kick.
It's not as famous or as powerful as Leo's Flying Kick, but it excels in mobility and stability.
Jiang Yu didn't want the Ultra Bomb; without the Ultra Heart, he simply couldn't handle that kind of evil thing.
Jiang Yu has been sticking to this daily training for quite some time under Taro's supervision, and has basically overcome his laziness.
It wasn't that I couldn't do it before, I was just simply lazy.
Jiang Yu finished with a poorly executed swallow-style flying kick and leaned against a tree to rest.
"Jiang Yu, when do you think the chosen one will appear?"
Taro stood on Jiang Yu's shoulder, and together they looked at the setting sun.
"It should be soon, it shouldn't be too long."
Jiang Yu replied that the story on Galaxy TV ended at the end of summer vacation, so there couldn't possibly be any error in that regard.
Moreover, Lugiel has already recovered, so there's no reason for Galaxy to remain indifferent; they should have been calling for Hikari long ago.
