New Ultraman: Monster Training Master

Chapter 42: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net During the Nine Years of Compulsory Education

Three days have passed since the crack appeared in the sky.

While on his routine patrol, Hoshikawa was drawn to a child as he passed a soccer field.

The child, with his agile movements, dribbled past several people and finally beat the goalkeeper, scoring a goal.

"Beautiful!" Hoshikawa couldn't help but exclaim.

This kid plays much better than some seafood team.

Hoshikawa intended to leave, but the sound of a motorcycle suddenly rang out.

"Wow, these kids are really good at kicking! I almost don't want to bump into them, haha." The biker gang leader laughed heartily.

"That's right, why don't we help them train their physical fitness?" the other biker gang members chimed in.

Hoshikawa recognized the group as biker gangs from "Ultraman 80," and the ones who said, "Ultraman Seven is still chasing me, damn it."

Seeing that they were about to chase the children on their motorcycles, Hoshikawa quickly got off his motorcycle and rushed forward.

Hoshikawa: "You bunch of social scum, the fish that slipped through the net of nine years of education, the cancer of your families, stay away from those kids."

Upon seeing that Hoshikawa was a member of the Horror Team, the leader of the biker gang scoffed, "No fun left. Let's go, let's go somewhere else to have fun."

Seemingly to disgust Hoshikawa, they drove their motorcycles, kicking up dust that made all the children cough, before leaving.

But Hoshikawa is not like Dan Moroboshi; he won't indiscriminately indulge everyone.

He pulled out his Hyper gun, switched to tranquilizer darts used for attacking humans, and paralyzed all the bikers.

He later called the local police and asked them to come and take the bikers away.

As for the charge, Hoshikawa had the police write it down in a notebook: "[Driving a motorcycle to attack a member of the Fukui team, the circumstances are very serious, and life imprisonment is recommended]."

Only after everything was resolved did he go to visit the frightened children.

Hoshikawa: "Are you all alright?"

The children all shook their heads, except for one boy named Zhiren, who stared wide-eyed, clearly still shaken from the fright he had just experienced.

At that moment, Naoto's older sister, Aya, ran over and kept nodding and thanking Hoshikawa.

Hoshikawa said it was nothing and returned to the patrol car.

"Ultraman Seven, why don't you come out and protect us? I hate you!" Naoto threw the Ultraman Seven doll on the ground and ran away into the distance.

Ultraman Seven doll, by a straight person.

When Hoshikawa heard the child's name was Naoto, he felt something was wrong. When he saw Naoto throw the Seven doll on the ground, his heart skipped a beat.

The Naoto running away in front of me is the child who summoned the delusional Seven in episode 44 of "Ultraman 80".

In the original storyline, Naoto was filled with resentment towards the biker gang, so when his tears fell on the Seven doll, he imagined Seven appearing.

Just as Hoshikawa was about to get out of the car to retrieve the Seven doll, the patrol car's communicator rang, and Yuka's voice came through: "Team Member Hoshikawa, a dimensional rift has appeared, and it's very close to your location."

"I understand." Hoshikawa hung up the communication and headed towards the dimensional rift.

······

Boom!

A crack appeared in the sky, and the missile superbeast [Belaukun] jumped out from it.

Upon leaving the alternate dimension, Belokorn couldn't wait to launch missiles, wreaking havoc on the city.

"Belaukun, huh? Then let Golza deal with you." Hoshikawa threw out a Gulu Ball and summoned Golza.

"Roar!" Golza roared, his two calves bursting with speed that was disproportionate to his body.

Just as Golza was about to collide with Belokorn, its figure became illusory and finally disappeared into the city.

What was expected to be an overwhelming battle turned into a disaster when the Yapools reclaimed Belokorn, leaving Golza empty-handed.

Having lost his opponent, Golza stood there blankly.

"Come back." Hoshikawa took a deep breath and put the Gulu Ball back into storage.

He was a little confused about what the Yabos were trying to do.

First, they showed them the crack, then they summoned Belokorn to destroy the city. As soon as Golza appeared, the Yapool took Belokorn back.

This contradictory approach left him completely baffled.

Unable to figure it out, Hoshikawa decided to return to the base and let the brilliant mind, Masaki Keigo, come up with the answer.

······

"Damn it, I'm going to run that gang member over with my motorcycle." The biker gang leader climbed out of the overturned police car.

He dusted off his clothes: "The monster appeared just in time; I was almost going to jail."

Thanks to Tobe Laukorn, they managed to escape the police car.

Next, they will continue to commit crimes using motorcycles while escaping police capture.

"Hey, look who I found." The biker gang leader turned around and saw Aya dragging Naoto away.

He glanced around, looking for a motorcycle to take the first step in his revenge on society.

"Boss, use this one." One of the biker gang members rode over on a motorcycle.

"Well done." The biker gang leader excitedly sat on the motorcycle and twisted the throttle all the way to the floor.

The roar of a motorcycle rang out. Naoto, who was running away, heard the sound of a motorcycle behind him, turned around, and saw a motorcycle heading straight for them.

"Sister, watch out!" Naoto pushed Aya away.

Just as Aya, who had been pushed down, was about to say something about Naoto, she saw Naoto being hit by a motorcycle and falling over, with a lot of blood gushing from his forehead.

Aya: "Naoto! Naoto!"

Dissatisfied that he hadn't hit Aya, the biker gang leader turned his bike around, preparing to floor the accelerator again.

At the critical moment, Hoshikawa drove his patrol car over.

Upon seeing the patrol car, the leader of the biker gang spat, muttered "bad luck," and left.

The patrol car stopped next to Naoto and his sister. Hoshikawa got out of the car, opened the back door, and carried the unconscious Naoto to a seat.

Hoshikawa: "Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital."

······

Aya looked at the unconscious Naoto and placed the Seven doll on the bedside table.

Hoshikawa: "Does Naoto always carry the Seven doll with him?"

Aya: "It's like a talisman for my younger brother. Since our mother passed away, this doll has been the only light in my brother's life."

"Naoto used to only like staying in his room, but later someone invited him to join the soccer team, which he refused."

"Later I told him that Ultraman Seven doesn't like cowardly children. He and the puppet stared at each other for a long time before he finally decided to go play soccer."

"From that day on, Naoto seemed like a different person; he became lively and cheerful."

At this point, Aya began to sob uncontrollably.

She asked Hoshikawa, "They haven't done anything wrong, so why did they experience this?"

Hoshikawa clenched his fists, his face grim: "Don't worry, I will make those biker gang members pay the price they deserve."

I thought that with his intervention, Naoto would escape his original fate, but I never expected...

He left the ward, returned to the patrol car, inserted the key, and turned the ignition switch.
