Ultraman Blaze

At night, the sky is full of stars and the cool breeze blows gently——

Xiang Yufan leaned against the steps of the training base's playground and looked up at the starry sky.

Then, he turned his gaze to his left hand, lifted up his sleeve, and looked at the metallic bracelet on his wrist, which was inlaid with three gemstones. The gemstones emitted blue, red, and purple light in the night.

Then, right below the three gems is a carving of Blaze’s head.

This is the Blaze bracelet, which was the prop that Xiangyu used when he first transformed into Ultraman. However, in that battle, he was at best a carrier similar to a power bank, and the entire battle process was still controlled by Blaze himself.

However, ever since that transformation, the Blaze bracelet disappeared into light.

It was not until the appearance of Super Gob half a year later that the Blaze Bracelet turned into the Blaze Holy Stone. Fortunately, Xiangyu could still resonate with the Holy Stone and transform into Ultraman. Although the Blaze Holy Stone did not disappear after that transformation, Xiangyu's role in the battle with Super Gob was just a carrier.

In the days after the special training, Xiangyu tried several times to transform into Blaze, but failed as Blaze did not resonate with him.

However, today when the monster Drag appeared to destroy the city, Xiangyu's eagerness to save people resonated with the Blaze Holy Stone. After more than three months, he once again transformed into Ultraman to save people.

However, this time Xiangyu, who transformed into Ultraman, unexpectedly reached a state of oneness with Blaze through his thoughts and actions.

After today's battle, Xiangyu's mind inexplicably had some additional memories of fighting techniques and light-releasing skills. These memories were deeply engraved in his mind, as profound as remembering his own name.

As he was lost in thought, Yan Qi's gentle voice came from not far behind him: "Why are you here so late at night instead of staying in the dormitory?"

Xiangyu's body trembled, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly put down his sleeves, pretending to be calm and said: "I can't sleep, I'm looking at the stars."

Yan Qi sat next to Xiangyu and glanced at him, thinking that he didn't want to sleep because of what happened today, so she smiled and said, "Anyone would be unable to sleep if they encountered something like this, right?"

"what?"

Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and smiled to cover it up: "Is that so."

Yan Qi pouted, her eyes lost in thought. She asked, "Actually... before I came to TPC, I saw that giant on the Internet, but they all said that the giant was an alien trying to invade the earth."

"But I feel that the giant is here to protect us."

"What do you think, Team Member Xiangyu?"

Xiangyu looked at Yan Qi, and seeing her serious expression and affirmative eyes, he could not help but nodded in agreement and said, "I believe the giants are here to protect us humans."

"Ah." Yan Qi sighed slowly, looked up at the starry sky, and said with a slightly moved expression: "If only we knew the name of that giant, we wouldn't have to call him a giant all the time."

Xiangyu followed Yan Qi's gaze to the starry sky, looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and gradually became fascinated: "...The giant comes from the universe. He is like the dazzling stars in the sky, emitting countless rays of light. Why don't we call him Blaze...Ultraman Blaze, how about it?"

"Like the stars in the sky...Ultraman Blaze?" Yan Qi hesitated slightly, chewing on this novel name over and over again in her mouth. Then she smiled and said to Hanyu Xiangyu: "Blaze...a vibrant name, just like you, Xiangyu."

Xiangyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with shame: "...Haha, no no..."

Afterwards, after chatting with Xiangyu for a few words, Yan Qi got up and left the playground. When she turned around and left, she kept muttering the word "Blaze" in her mouth, and she was as happy as a treasure.

Seeing Yan Qi leave, Xiangyu exhaled heavily, then he looked at the Blaze bracelet on his wrist again and said secretly: Ultraman Blaze.

From what Yan Qi said just now, we can conclude that people from all walks of life have mixed opinions on Ultraman, and people know very little about Ultraman. Moreover, when faced with the emergence of unknown things, people often take measures of caution or even hostility. If he rashly reveals his ability to transform into Blaze, not only will it cause a stir in society, he will probably also be subject to strict investigation.

It’s better to hide your special identity for now.

After thinking for a moment, Xiangyu got up and went back to the dormitory to rest.

A few days later——

The reserve players completed their morning training as usual. Gu Yihui, Luo Bingyang, and Hanyu Xiangyu were summoned to Tang Bohu's office.

"Instructor Tang, are you looking for me?" The three of them walked to the office door, Xiangyu knocked gently and asked.

Tang Bohu was sitting in his office processing documents at this time. The destruction caused by Drag made him have a lot more summary reports in his hands in the past few days, so much so that he was overwhelmed and had no spare time to go to the playground to supervise the reserve players.

Seeing the three of them coming, Tang Bohu quickly let them in. When the three of them walked to the table, Tang Bohu stopped writing, looked up, and said, "I can't spare the time recently, so I have a task for you to complete."

Upon hearing that there was a mission, Yuzuru Xiangyu showed surprise, Luo Bingyang's expression also changed slightly, but Gu Yihui remained as frosty as ever.

Seeing that the three had no objection, Tang Bohu continued, "I received news from the villagers that strange noises were heard from the Gold and Silver Cave... Your mission is to find out the source of the strange noises and then come back to report to me."

"Got it." The three of them responded in unison.

"Well, go ahead and get ready. I'll send the specific information and address to your communication watches later."

After saying that, the three of them turned and left the office. After some simple preparations, they drove the jeep in the base to the target location.
