Ultraman: Noah's big one at the beginning

The next day, Gu Jia entered the psychological treatment room of the Silver Cross Hospital, looking completely at ease.

Sitting opposite him was a female warrior from U40. Gu Jia's first impression of her was that she was intelligent and elegant.

"The Land of Light is short of psychologists, so U40 specially sent us to help."

The female doctor opposite continued, "Gu Jia, I know you. The treasure of U40 has always been with you, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jia took two steps back, looking puzzled.

The treasure of U40 definitely refers to the Sage's Sword.

Although this special sword is not used in normal combat, it can be very useful in certain special situations.

"Has it been started before?" the female doctor asked again.

Gu Jia nodded, unsure whether the U40 members wanted to take the sword back.

"It seems our intuition was right." The female doctor nodded to herself, "Giving it to you was an absolutely correct decision..."

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's begin today's test."

Imagine you are standing in a deserted wasteland...

……

Half a day later, the Silver Cross commander looked at the form in front of him and glanced at it briefly: "These are all the test results for today?"

"Are there any special cases that require special attention?"

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the female doctor from U40 across from him became extremely serious, pointing to Gu Jia's face in the image: "This child must be closely monitored."

"In this test, I used a variety of testing methods on him..."

After the exchange, the Silver Cross leader was dumbfounded: "Really?"

The female doctor nodded seriously: "Really."

"This child is exceptionally gifted and possesses a precious treasure. You certainly don't want him to develop psychological problems, right?"

"I've had a strange feeling about him, and just now it dawned on me: he's a bit like Hera, the traitor from U40..."

The Silver Cross member hesitated: "His condition isn't that serious yet... Is there any hope for him?"

"It's just an early sign." The female doctor nodded. "If we intervene early and soften his personality, we should still be able to turn things around."

Chapter 320 Returning to School

With the Land of Light fully resuming work and school, it's time for Guga, after such a long rest, to return to the campus he's been away from for so long.

So here's the problem: he's only been gone for less than five years, but a century has passed in this universe. If he still wants to be classmates with Zeta-Taiga, he'll have to catch up on a century of lessons.

Of course, it's also fine not to take extra classes. It's reasonable to stay in the appropriate level for your age.

On my way to school.

“If you need extra lessons, I can create a detailed schedule for you, just like before,” Taiga said kindly.

"No need to trouble yourself. You guys are under a lot of academic pressure right now, aren't you?" Gu Jia felt that self-study wasn't a problem and didn't want to bother Taiga any further.

Zeta: "Maybe we shouldn't bother with this. You are indeed smaller than us now."

"By the way, when will you call me 'senior'?"

Gu Jia rolled her eyes at him: "You're overthinking it."

After saying that, Guga turned his gaze to Taiga beside him again: "Is there still no news from Zero-nii-san?"

“No, after the disaster ended, the Land of Light conducted a thorough census, and currently nearly 20,000 people are missing,” Taiga explained.

"The curse has been lifted, and I believe these people will all come back. It's only a matter of time before Brother Zero returns."

“Hmm…” Gu Jia lowered his head and remained silent.

If only Zero's situation were really that optimistic.

Most of the missing warriors who did not return were lost because they lacked the means to travel through parallel universes. The Land of Light was able to find them after conducting a thorough investigation.

But Zero himself has the Paragi Shield, which can traverse space, so it's impossible that he still hasn't found it after a month.

Gu Jia still felt that this guy was in trouble.

"I checked the mission Zero was on when he left a few days ago. There was nothing unusual about the mission, and the other warriors who were lost in that universe have all been found..."

Zeta: "My master has always been kind-hearted; he may have gone to protect other universes along the way."

"If you're really worried, shall we go out and look for it together?!" Zeta's eyes lit up.

Taiga pulled Zeta back: "We have no news at all. If we search aimlessly like headless flies, we might not find anything for ages."

"Studies come first."

……

Land of Light Junior High School.

Gu Jia walked into the classroom and greeted his classmates and teacher with a smile.

The Land of Light, fearing that Guga would be targeted by evil forces in the universe, has been deliberately concealing his achievements. Even so, Guga is still very famous in the universe.

Not only is his appearance vastly different from the warriors of the Land of Light, but he also has a considerable bounty on the black market's wanted list, making it impossible for him to keep a low profile.

"That's Senior Gu Jia." The students in the class whispered among themselves.

"He's so handsome, he doesn't look like someone from the Land of Light."

"He wasn't originally from the Land of Light."

"I heard that he played a huge role in our ability to transform back from our doll-like appearance."

"Rumors are unreliable. I think Commander Taro is the real hero."

"I heard that Senior Guga is raising a lot of monsters at the monster breeding farm. I really want to go and see them."

"What senior? He's our classmate now, but he suddenly disappeared and wasted many years of his studies."

"It's said that the senior's physical education and lighting skills were top-notch a hundred years ago. I wonder how much of that foundation he still has..."

"You want to have a match with him?"

Gu Jia buried himself in his studies, oblivious to the chatter around him.

All he wants now is to catch up on the lessons he missed and get back to his friends as soon as possible.

Two weeks later, in the physical training class at Ultra Junior High School.

The young soldiers in the ranks would occasionally turn around to look at the boy at the back of the training field, who was writing furiously.

"You're really working hard. You don't practice physical skills at all, you just focus on studying academic subjects."

"The point is, the instructors don't mind at all. Don't you think that's favoritism?"

"After all, he has made outstanding contributions, so it is understandable that he should receive some preferential treatment."

"I really want to know just how far he's progressed in physical skills, that the instructor is so at ease with him..."

At the front of the group, the instructor stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Alright, I've finished explaining the key points of the movements. Now you're free to do your own thing. I'll be checking your training results later."

The group dispersed, and a young man from the Red Clan stepped up to Gu Jia, who was writing furiously: "Senior."

"Just call me by my name, I'm not really a senior." Gu Jia, who was memorizing the knowledge points, was a little unhappy because of the influence, but his tone was normal.

"Senior, have you only been catching up on academic subjects lately and haven't you been practicing physical skills?" the young soldier asked curiously.

“There’s no point in me practicing that.” Gu Jia didn’t even look up.

"What a joke." A junior soldier standing nearby immediately retorted, "The most important thing for a qualified space garrison soldier to improve is his combat ability."

"For example, Commander Zero almost completely gave up his academic studies, but he was strong enough and had a distinguished record of military achievements, so he was promoted to become the captain of the Ultimate Zero Guard."

Gu Jia: "..."

There's no way to refute it.

Has Zero set a bad precedent...?

Guga looked at the children surrounding him: "Physical skills and light techniques determine a warrior's bottom line, but a warrior cannot raise his upper limit without knowledge."

"Zero just didn't attend school in the usual way, but that doesn't mean he didn't study."

The young Red Clan warrior who first spoke to Gujia asked, "Does cultural learning determine a warrior's upper limit? Shouldn't we ensure the bottom line first, and then consider the upper limit?"

"Senior, can I see your 'bottom line'?" The young soldier's eyes were full of expectation.

The young warriors were always somewhat competitive; they wanted to see why this person, who hadn't thrown a punch in half a month, was so highly regarded by the Land of Light.

"Okay." Gu Jia put away the projection, patted his butt helplessly, and got up.

If we don't teach these young men a lesson, they'll definitely come back to bother us again.

On the training field, Gu Jia condensed light energy in his hand. Just as the beam of light was about to take shape, he suddenly stopped his movements: "Oh dear, I forgot, you guys haven't learned how to use light yet, right?"

"Then let's have a pure physical combat sparring session."

As Gujia said these words, he seemed to be in a daze.

When fighting monsters normally, he uses his beams like a basic attack, to the point that he's forgotten that most people his age can't even fire a complete beam of light.

On the other side, the young Red Clan warrior saw Gu Jia withdraw his light, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said with high spirits, "Alright, then you'd better be careful, senior!"

Three minutes later.

A bunch of people were lying haphazardly on the training field.

The instructor, standing to the side with one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, said, "Now you realize the gap, right?"

"You know that the Land of Light has been improving its basic martial arts techniques in recent years based on the 'Electric Tiger Fist' and the 'Flying Crane Fist', right?"

"These two sets of Phantom Beast Fist techniques were provided by him."

"He comprehended the long-lost Phantom Beast Fist Technique by relying on the residual fist intent from the fighting arena, which shows that this guy has terrifying comprehension in physical skills."

"Don't even mention you guys, even I, the instructor, wouldn't last two rounds against him. ╮(￣⊿￣)╭"

Chapter 321 Having fun is the most important thing

The instructor's words seemed to deliberately elevate Gu Jia, and although the junior high school students on the training field were beaten without any power to fight back, they were still unconvinced in their hearts.

Until they saw Guga's punch accompanied by thunderous roars and tiger cries, and saw Guga's body turn to electricity, his movements as light as the wind.

"I admit defeat." The young Red Clan warrior who had initially wanted to challenge Guga was the first to lower his proud head.

Physical skills require a steady and methodical approach. Things that don't look that impressive are often the most powerful, while those that look cool are often the most difficult to master.

"Does this mean they're eligible for a special admission to the Space Garrison?" the children whispered among themselves on the training field.

"At the very least, he should be able to make it into the reserve team, right?"

"Not only that, I heard that Zero has long wanted him to join the Ultimate Zero Guard."

"I didn't believe it before, but now it seems the rumors are true."

Feeling the longing looks in the eyes of the middle school students, Gu Jia temporarily put aside today's review material, leaned forward slightly, and smiled: "Want to learn?"

As the last inheritor of the Cosmic Beast Fist, he has a responsibility to carry forward these martial arts techniques.

"Yes!" A cheer immediately erupted on the training ground.

Seeing this, the instructor panicked: "Hey, don't teach haphazardly!"

The "Electric Tiger Fist" and "Flying Crane Fist" have actually been entered into the physical techniques database of the Land of Light long ago. The reason why students have not been organized to learn them on a large scale is mainly because the learning threshold of the Phantom Beast Fist is too high, and the investment and the gains are not proportional.

In comparison, Leo's "Cosmic Fist Technique" is simpler to learn, more practical, and more suitable for the constitution of babies from the Land of Light.

Another reason the instructors were anxious was that both the Mythical Beast Fist Technique and the Cosmic Fist Technique were techniques that students could only learn after joining the reserve team.

It's not that the Land of Light is stingy, but rather that if students are exposed to such advanced martial arts too early, their foundation won't be solid, they won't be able to utilize the techniques effectively, and it could easily delay their progress.

"The instructor is such a spoilsport," the students complained after hearing what the instructor said.

Seeing the students' high spirits, Gu Jia looked at the instructor and came up with a compromise: "Just teach two simple moves, that should be fine, right?"

"Okay." After a moment's hesitation, the instructor nodded.

Subsequently, the situation on the training field became strange.
