After finishing the day's lessons, Seth did not leave the school in a hurry as usual, but obediently waited for Instructor Ace on the playground.
There is also special lighting training at night.
Today's waiting is different from usual, because today, Seth has a Zeta beside him who is eager to become stronger.
Before, Zeta had already felt that he was being pushed further and further away from his friends.
Today, after seeing Seth's performance in the battle with the reserve team members, Zeta felt an even greater sense of crisis.
If he doesn't follow Seth's footsteps as soon as possible, he may lose this friend who has grown up with him since childhood!
Seth will study in new places because of his powerful talent, meet new friends, play games and eat with new friends...
They might even sleep in the same bed!
Just like myself and Seth now.
Thinking of this, Zeta felt a mess in his mind.
He would never allow another man to sleep in Seth's bed!
Zeta, who was sitting on the steps in the playground, suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "Seth, we will always be good friends, right?"
Seth felt that something was wrong with Zeta today, but he still nodded: "Of course, your boy has a bright future."
"This has nothing to do with my future, and it has nothing to do with your future. It is our relationship." Zeta corrected him seriously.
"You will always be my friend, right? No matter if I am poor or rich, sick or healthy, strong or weak, dangerous or safe, you will always be my friend, right?"
After hearing this, Seth glanced at the index finger on his right hand with a strange expression.
Zeta's words sounded like wedding oaths...
I have a good friend, but he is not married. The child's brain circuit is indeed strange.
Unexpectedly, Zeta felt even more uncomfortable when she saw that Seth had not answered: "It seems that you have planned to separate from me in advance."
"Leave me, your friend who has been with you for many years."
"I should have discovered this earlier..."
"You haven't slept in the same bed with me lately."
Seth: "???"
"Is there any connection between this?"
"You haven't noticed that we are both growing, and one bed is no longer enough for us."
Zeta was reasonable: "When we were in the orphanage, you said you were afraid of the dark, and we often slept together."
Obviously, Zeta has found sufficient evidence in daily life that Seth wants to separate from him.
"And the ring on your left hand suddenly appeared on your hand half a year ago. You didn't tell me where it came from. It's proof of your friendship with others..."
"It's okay. After you leave, I can live a good life by myself. I can go to and from school alone, eat and shop alone, practice alone, and face the gloomy life alone..."
Listening to Zeta's increasingly outrageous words, Seth explained helplessly: "I will not leave. We will be good friends forever, do you understand?"
After speaking, Seth looked at the off-white ring on his right hand: "There is also this ring. It is indeed proof of my friendship with others, but that guy has..."
The remaining half of the sentence was left unfinished.
It seems that if you don't say the word 'death', the other person will not truly disappear from this world.
It is often said that true death is being forgotten.
But Seth simply felt that if he didn't think that the other party was 'dead', then there was a possibility of the other party being resurrected.
Anyway, this is the world of Ultraman, everything is possible, right.
Zeta noticed her friend's sadness and said no more.
Intelligent life will be possessive, just like humans in ancient times, who would not easily share their food with others.
Zeta also wanted to keep Seth as his friend, but he didn't want to see his friend sad.
On the playground, two immature children chatted one after another.
At a certain moment, a silver-red figure quietly appeared behind the two children.
Ace stretched his head in front of Seth and said with obvious displeasure: "Seth, you didn't tell me yesterday that you were going to bring new friends over today."
Ace certainly didn't hate Zeta, he just didn't like Seth's unruly behavior.
Training Seth by himself was originally done in secret. If Seth brought friends over without reporting, it would add to the burden on his work.
"Instructor, can I practice with Zeta?" Seth asked in a low voice.
If you ask who among the Ultra brothers Seth fears the most, Seth's first choice is Zoffie, and his second choice is Ace.
Counting among the six Ultra brothers, the first generation rarely appears, and even when they do appear, they appear to be approachable and good uncles.
And Severin, who is suspected of being his cheap daddy, has been his instructor for so many years and is relatively close to him.
Jack and Tyro are both good uncles who care about themselves.
Then there is Ace, who looks like a Buddha, and his fighting methods are cruel, cold and majestic.
Seth has been studying under him for half a year. He feels that instructor Ace has always been dissatisfied with him and always has a cold face, like a stone that cannot be warmed.
Seth was afraid of him, just like how he was afraid of his teachers when he was a child in human times.
As for why he was afraid of Zoffi - Seth felt that this old man was thinking about something in his mind, and he might see through him one day.
At this moment, facing the majestic instructor Ace, Seth whispered his request.
He did not say that it was Zeta who insisted on staying here and put the responsibility on Zeta.
Instead, he took the initiative and used 'I' as the subject, making Ace think that letting Zeta stay here was a bad idea.
The reason for this is also very simple, Zeta is his friend.
As expected, after hearing Seth's words, Ace's face, which was not originally relaxed, became even longer: "Do you think you have practiced well?"
"Want to make a friend?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the audience instantly dropped to freezing point.
Seth: "No, I just want my friends to become stronger together with me."
"And instructor, you are the best teacher in the Kingdom of Light."
"It would be such a waste if I was the only one attending the class."
The smart Zeta next to him had an intelligent IQ. After realizing that Seth was going to be blamed, he was ready to clarify the facts: "Actually, I took the initiative to..."
Before Zeta finished speaking, Seth raised his hand to stop him and looked at Ace cautiously: "Instructor?"
Seeing that Ace didn't express his stance, Seth decided to play the emotional card...
"Instructor, you also know that Zeta and I are both orphans. It is difficult for orphans to get ahead in the Kingdom of Light."
"By the way, I heard that Zeta was picked up from the battlefield by a certain big shot. If that big shot can give Zeta a little boost, I believe Zeta will become an excellent Ultra warrior..."
Before Seth finished speaking, Ace stopped him: "Okay, okay."
"Don't pretend to be pitiful with me, the little guy knows a lot..."
Seth saw that he had a chance: "Instructor, do you think you have agreed?"
Ace rolled his eyes at the small wall lamp in front of him speechlessly: "If I don't agree to this, will you two still have to perform a show that makes you unable to kneel down?"
