In Ultraman: Starting with the Battle Device

Raven then said, "You're hiding it too, aren't you?"

“In that case, I’ll go all out,” Zero said seriously.

"ah--!"

Suddenly, Zero's energy erupted, his figure transformed into a phantom, and he attacked Raven with a storm of attacks using both hands.

Raven knew that Zero, whose strength and speed had increased dramatically, would no longer give him a chance to dodge.

So he went to meet them, and the two immediately began a fierce battle.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, their fists clashed, producing a powerful sound, and their dazzling movements drew gasps of amazement from the onlookers.

The aftershocks of their battle shattered the crystal-clear ground.

Keep in mind that this is a specially prepared training ground for combat, so its sturdiness goes without saying.

"That's amazing!"

The trainees were stunned, as this was far beyond their current level of understanding.

“It looks like Zero is gaining the upper hand,” Jack said, standing next to Seven.

But Seven looked intently at the two people fighting fiercely on the field. After a while, he said, "It's hard to say. They haven't even reached their limits yet."

In the arena, facing Zero's increasingly fierce offensive, Raven felt more and more powerless, and he had almost fully exerted his peak elite strength.

But Zero continues to improve, becoming stronger with each battle.

The gap in strength between him and Zero can no longer be bridged by skill.

"boom--!"

Zero landed a straight punch on Raven's cheek, and Raven couldn't keep up with his movements.

Zero pressed his advantage, landing another hook punch on Raven's chin.

Raven felt a sudden darkness engulf his vision, and he fell backward, unable to get up for a moment.

"Wow--!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

"As expected, Zero is still the best!" someone said.

"But if he's so strong, why haven't we seen him in the Land of Light before?" Many trainees also had this question.

"Well, that's a long story..." someone in the know began to keep the matter a secret.

On the other side, seeing Raven lying on the ground, Taro decided to end the fight, so he flew into the arena.

"Wait, I can continue..."

Raven's voice interrupted Taro, who slowly rose from the ground.

A deep red aura constantly emanated from his body.

"I've finally found the feeling."

Reonics's fighting instincts were triggered, and he had not yet lost his mind.

This was the first time he had actively taken control of this power in his Ultraman form. Previously, this power had only been activated in dire situations.

His overall strength has now reached the peak of near-legendary level.

He was almost identical to Zero at that time.

Even if Zero's full potential is unleashed in the end, he is not worried, because he can continue to fuse with the power of monsters to further enhance his abilities.

"Come on, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Zero."

As he spoke, Raven's body shot towards him like a sharp sword.

In an instant, the two began to fight fiercely.

They fired into the air and then onto the ground, launching energy blasts at each other as if they were free.

The entire venue was completely destroyed.

This time, Raven was much stronger than before, and fought Zero to a standstill the entire time.

To break the deadlock, Zero removed his headgear and combined it into the Zero Twin Swords.

"Use a weapon?" Raven then waved his hand, and the Hundred Beasts Sword appeared instantly.

The two men brandished their weapons and charged into battle.

Chapter 277 The Master-Apprentice Maniac

"Clang—!"

A piercing, trembling sound echoed throughout the arena, and they were all thrown back into the air.

Then, the two regained their footing in mid-air and continued their fight.

In an instant, swords flashed and the combat moved at an extremely fast pace, leaving the trainees dizzy and disoriented.

As the stalemate continued, the two gradually became truly enraged, each attack revealing their full power.

This worried Taro and the others who were watching, so they decided to stop it.

"Alright, you can stop now."

The three veterans, Taro, Seven, and Jack, landed between the two, stopping them from continuing the fight.

“If you continue fighting, you won’t be able to determine a winner; you’ll only both suffer heavy losses. Let’s call this a draw,” Seven said.

"Dad, I'm really having a blast playing this."

Zero said unhappily.

Although his physical strength was also beginning to decline significantly, his fighting spirit remained burning brightly.

On the other side, Raven was in a similar state to Zero. He knew that if he fused with the power of the monster, defeating Zero would be very easy.

However, this is an external force, and he will not use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.

"Zero, don't be so willful," Seven scolded.

"Alright." Zero shrugged helplessly. "Since Dad has spoken, let's leave the outcome to be decided in the next battle."

“No problem,” Raven replied with a smile.

Raven and Zero exchanged a glance, nodded, and then each put away their weapons.

After the two finished their battle, the trainees, who had been watching with dazzled eyes, cheered for them.

"That's amazing!"

"Apharos!"

"Zero!"

In no time, the two quickly became objects of admiration in the eyes of this group of inexperienced prospective soldiers.

Zeta was also silently watching Raven and Zero from the crowd.

I was extremely excited and thrilled at that moment.

Who should I choose as my teacher?

Senior Apharos is handsome and powerful, and quite kind, but Senior Zero seems cool too, and is the son of Seven, one of the Ultra Brothers.

I heard from others that Zero is Leo's apprentice, and Leo is Seven's apprentice.

If I were to become Zero's apprentice, then Leo would be my master, and Seven would be my great master.

This is incredibly profitable!

Or should I worship both? But wouldn't that be a bit too greedy...?

And so he began to struggle with this dilemma.

He hadn't even considered whether anyone would agree to take him as an apprentice.

While Zeta was still dreaming, the crowd around him had already dispersed and returned to the Light Training Ground to continue their training.

"Zeta." Raven's figure appeared beside Zeta, who was still in a daze.

He noticed the child from afar; he looked simple and honest, standing there alone, seemingly lost in thought.

"Senior Apharos!"

Zeta scratched his head sheepishly.

Then, he suddenly bowed to Raven and solemnly said, "Please accept me as your apprentice!"

Raven wasn't surprised by Zeta's request; he knew the guy loved to find mentors everywhere.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

However, he wouldn't agree to Zeta's offer so easily.

“Zeta, you can’t recognize your master so easily, understand? Besides, I’ll be leaving soon, and I won’t have time to teach you anything,” Raven said to him earnestly.

"Thank you, Master!" Zeta immediately expressed his gratitude.

But then, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Huh? Did I... get rejected?" Zeta realized.

“That’s right, there’s no master-disciple relationship between us,” Raven said coldly.

"This is so heartbreaking."

Zeta immediately lowered his head, seemingly very depressed.

Seeing Zeta's disappointment, Raven continued to comfort her, saying, "In the Land of Light, there should be a master who is truly suitable for you, but the time is not right yet. When you grow up, you will definitely be recognized."

"Are you talking about Zero-senpai?!"

Zeta suddenly perked up, as if she hadn't felt sad or disappointed at all.
