Ultraman Blaze

Somewhere in the lunar base, in a flickering office——

A young man in his twenties, wearing a SKaRD uniform, stared at a pile of documents in his hand and muttered:

"Gu Yihui, 23 years old, first in overall performance...

"Luo Bingyang...

"Sanye Haruna...

“Katherine Maya…

"Jonathan Gene...

“Daniel Allen…

"Xiuyer...

"Shui Sen Bei Miao...

“Tutwala Dharmashi Bhakan…

"Singh...

"Hodaka Kajima...

"Chu Yichen..."

After reading the information of all the SKaRD team members one by one, Hanyu Xiangyu had a rough idea in his mind. His face was divided into light and dark sides by the slanting light.

Xiangyu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a deep smile.

The next day, the SKaRD team members gathered at the base in advance to welcome the arrival of their captain.

Everyone looked at him expectantly, imagining the image of their captain in their minds.

"I think our captain must be a stable, mature and secure middle-aged man."

"Our captain must have a mustache..."

"Our captain should be very strong..."

"..."

All kinds of beautiful fantasies remain in the minds of the team members.

Soon, with the sensor door suddenly opening, everyone's expectant eyes turned towards the direction of the sensor door.

The first person to come into view was Nakajima Sihua, the person in charge of the lunar base. He entered the team members' sight with a kind face.

“Good morning, fellow SKaRD team members.

"I am Nakajima Sihua, the director of the lunar surface base. Welcome to the lunar base."

One of the team members hesitated and asked, "Mr. Nakajima, are you our captain?"

Nakajima Sihua was amused by his teammate's words. He shook his head and said, "SKaRD needs a young and capable captain, not an old man like me."

Nakajima Sihua smiled, and as the sensor door opened again, he said, "Your captain is here."

Just as he finished speaking, a young man in SKaRD uniform, who looked no more than 23 or 24 years old, walked into the base. There was a calmness in his eyes and a smile on his sunny face.

"what?!"

When the team members saw Hanyu Xiangyu for the first time, they couldn’t tell for a moment whether he was their team member or captain.

"This is... our captain?"

Someone looked at Hanyu Xiangyu with suspicion and said in surprise.

"He looks about the same age as us... Why can he be our captain?"

Someone cast a questioning look and said dissatisfiedly.

"..."

However, facing the questions from everyone, Xiangyu did not give too many answers, but introduced himself slowly: "Everyone, it's our first meeting. I am your captain, Xiangyu Hanyu. Thank you for your guidance."

"You look about the same age as us, why are you our captain?"

A black brother stood out from the team, his eyes like a cheetah full of disdain.

The moment he stood up, his 1.9-meter-tall figure was perfectly set off by the players around him; and this guy also looked very strong.

Indeed, these eleven people have gone through numerous screenings and finally became a member of SKaRD after going through untold hardships. It is no exaggeration to say that they are the elites on earth.

Therefore, these "elites" felt more or less dissatisfied when they saw a peer they had never met inexplicably become the captain of SKaRD.

Facing the challenge from his teammates, Hanyu Xiangyu was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, he smiled slightly, stared at the black player, and said in a gentle voice: "If I remember correctly, you are a member of Tutwala Damasi Bakan."

"So what!"

Tutwala's tone was still full of disdain. He stared at Xiangyu indifferently and said coldly: "How are you better than us? Why are you our captain? What qualifications do you have?"

"Which of our team members is not better than you?"

Xiangyu was not angry and still smiled slightly, which made people a little unpredictable.

"You don't agree?"

Xiangyu's words weighed heavily on Tutwala like a mountain, and actually made him feel a little awe towards the slightly thin captain in front of him.

"We all disagree."

Tutwala said with a stiff upper lip.

Xiangyu nodded gently and remained silent for a few breaths. His expression changed slightly, but his voice remained gentle and calm: "If you don't agree... stand up."

After these words were spoken, the team members looked at each other, as if they were hesitating whether to stand up.

After the air was silent for a few seconds, the second team member finally walked out of the team. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with blond hair, white skin, and a typical European face.

His name is Jonathan Gene, a former member of a British special forces.

After the second team member stepped out of the team, five or six more team members walked out of the team.

Of the four people who did not step out of the team, two were the only female members of SKaRD, and the remaining two members were Gu Yihui and Luo Bingyang who knew Xiangyu.

When Xiangyu saw seven team members standing up in front of him, he felt a little disappointed despite his expectations.

But in the blink of an eye, this thought disappeared and turned into an icy majesty that quickly spread throughout the base.

Xiangyu's aura suddenly changed, causing all the team members' hair to stand on end.

Gu Yihui and Luo Bingyang were both slightly startled. They were frightened by Xiangyu's cold eyes and their hearts tightened. They couldn't help but breathe more cautiously.

"Is this still the Xiangyu we knew before?"

If they hadn't seen Xiangyu's face, they wouldn't even have believed that the SKaRD captain standing before them was Hanyu Xiangyu.

"What on earth has Xiangyu been through during this period of time?"

The two clearly remembered that they had never seen Hanyu Xiangyu since the night the selection ended.

They both thought that Hanyu Xiangyu had returned to Japan after the selection. However... half a year later, when they saw Hanyu Xiangyu again, he had become the captain of SKaRD.

While thinking, their eyes fell on Hanyu Xiangyu again.

"It seems... your instructors have never taught you that, as a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders."

At this moment, Tutwala looked at the slightly frail Asian man with a smile that showed a bit of contempt. He held his head high and said confidently, "If the superiors ask you to be our captain, I, Tutwala, will be the first to disagree."

"There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If possible, I think I can become the 'general' in your place!"

Although Tutwala spoke in English, his words were powerful and clearly provoked the thin Asian captain in public.

Facing Tutwala's provocation, Hanyu Xiangyu was not angry. Instead, he gave him a look of approval and said to the South African player, "I admire your courage and bravery. My team also needs your courage."

As he spoke, Xiangyu suddenly changed the subject.

"However, this courage is not directed at your captain, but your enemy!"

"If you want to be a 'general', you can. It depends on whether you are qualified."

Tutwala's eyes turned cold, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's have a competition."
