Chapter 15: Seven – Kid, Let Me Take You Out for a Spin

“He’s not around?” Mu Yang spread his hands helplessly. “Then I’ll just come visit when he’s back!”

He thought of an Ultraman—Hikari. It seemed that Hikari was famed for his swordsmanship!

But Mu Yang wasn’t sure if he would be able to draw a sword skill in the future. Maybe when the time came, he wouldn’t need to ask anyone for help.

Feeling that his luck was still decent, Mu Yang continued drawing from the prize pool.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host has drawn the purple skill: Water Release – Water Mirror!”

Mm, another good skill—it filled in one of Mu Yang’s shortcomings. If used properly, this one could really catch opponents off guard. It temporarily created a doppelgänger that looked exactly like the opponent and used the same techniques to attack them.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host has drawn an Unknown Meteoric Iron!”

“……”

Unknown meteoric iron? Isn’t that just junk?

Forget it, better not dwell on it. Looks like his luck had run its course.

After a moment’s thought, Mu Yang upgraded the God of Creation of Light skill to 24%. He felt that his current physical condition wouldn’t be inferior to Zero’s. But how would he compare to Seven and the others?

“Oh right, Boss, earlier we saw that set of radio calisthenics you did. We realised it actually has some benefits for health and fitness. Would it be okay for us to promote it? Of course, we’re willing to offer something in return!”

At that moment, Mother of Ultra also spoke up.

“There’s no need to be so formal. You’ve all taught me so much. If that thing really helps, then by all means, go ahead!” Mu Yang blinked, surprised at the idea of radio calisthenics being promoted in the Land of Light.

That’s… real talent at work!

Hearing Mu Yang’s words, the other high-level figures also showed satisfied expressions.

“Don’t worry, Mu Yang! When we promote the calisthenics, we’ll be sure to say you were the one who brought it to the Land of Light. They’ll be grateful to you!” Taro said cheerfully.

Are you sure this isn’t just mocking me?

Back when I did radio calisthenics, I cursed it countless times—it was practically useless.

Still, who knows what effect it might have in this morally upright Land of Light?

And so the days passed one after another.

Apart from practising with Seven and the others, Mu Yang spent his time learning about the universe.

When bored, he’d go out with Zero for a stroll. Life was fairly decent.

As radio calisthenics spread, Mu Yang became a household name in the Land of Light.

With Mother of Ultra’s endorsement of its beneficial effects, Mu Yang’s “shock value” continued to rise steadily.

Then one day, just as Mu Yang was about to find Zero to request a sparring match, Seven came knocking.

“Boss, want to go to Earth?” Seven asked excitedly.

“Earth?”

Mu Yang felt a wave of nostalgia. This Earth was obviously not the one he originally came from.

Still, Earth was Earth—it stirred some homesickness in him.

“Can I go?” Mu Yang asked hesitantly.

He was a little apprehensive, both from nostalgia and doubt. After all, he was now part of the Land of Light. Was it really okay to just come and go freely?

“Why not? You’re originally from Earth anyway.

And although you’ve joined the Land of Light, you’re not under any restrictions.

You just need to let someone know where you’re going.

Even if you want to stay on Earth, that’s fine too.

Jack’s been quite exhausted lately—he’s been handling 1v2 battles nonstop.

This time, I’m going to deliver a weapon to him as well,” Seven chuckled.

That’s right—Jack was known for fighting one against two.

The weapon Seven was talking about must be the Ultra Bracelet.

There was even a famous meme: “Gomora Spark flashes, and the Rejind bros’ heads roll.”

Jack was basically the original ‘cheat code’ Ultraman.

In Jack’s series, there wasn’t a problem that the Ultra Bracelet couldn’t fix.

A period on Earth, huh?

That didn’t sound too bad.

“Yeah, I’d like to visit Earth and stay there for a while,” Mu Yang said after some thought.

“Alright, then come with me!”

Seven didn’t think much of it.

He too couldn’t wait to get to Earth—it felt just like home to him.

And with both Jack and Mu Yang protecting it, Earth would be even safer.

Mu Yang’s strength had grown fast. He was almost on par with the Ultra Brothers now.

It was about time he went out and fought a few monsters to get used to it.

“Okay! But I need to leave a message for Zero first.”

After thinking about it, Mu Yang used a memory stone to leave behind his image—a common form of communication in the Land of Light.

“You and Zero are pretty close?”

Seeing Mu Yang leave a message, Seven asked casually.

“Yeah. He was the first friend I made here. He’s a really good guy, just a bit tsundere,” Mu Yang said, fully understanding what Seven was getting at.

“Tsundere?”

Seven looked confused.

That word could be used for boys too?

But thinking about his son… yeah, he was definitely a bit tsundere.

“Yeah. He craves recognition but doesn’t know how to express it,” Mu Yang said meaningfully.

Zero was a great guy, and he enjoyed hanging out with him.

He really didn’t want to see Zero go down the same painful path as in the original story.

He was a hero—but he suffered greatly too.
