Lin Di was utterly bewildered. Recently, the overload of information had him feeling completely disoriented. First, he had traveled through time and space to the world of Ultraman Tiga, and in his hand, he held a magical Light Rod. When monsters appeared, a simple press turned him into a being of light.
Excitedly thinking he had become Ultraman Tiga, Lin Di was then met with another beam of light—the familiar figure of Ultraman Tiga himself appeared. Wait, wasn't I supposed to be Tiga? Together, they vanquished the monster.
Well, to be more precise, it was mostly Ultraman Tiga's effort. He snapped the monster's horn and annihilated it with a ray of light, while Lin Di just contributed a little...
After the monster was defeated, Ultraman Tiga revealed Lin Di's origins. He was one of the ancient giants, Ultraman Tiga's brother, Ultraman Diga, who had awoken from a long slumber, cleansed of the dark energy that had once tainted him, though he had lost his memories and strength.
For safety, Ultraman Tiga telepathically contacted the original Ultraman, who had once visited the world of Tiga, and had him brought to the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula to learn how to become a qualified warrior of light. And so, Lin Di, escorted through time and space by Ultraman Dyna, was on his way to the Land of Light...
Ultraman Diga's emotions were a whirlwind of confusion. He couldn't understand why, even as an Ultraman, he couldn't escape the fate of schooling. If it weren't for the fact that he was heading to the Land of Light, a place teeming with Ultramen, he wouldn't have bothered.
And there was Ultraman Taro, coming personally to greet him. Despite his reluctance to attend school, seeing this familiar face excited him. As for his newfound brother Ultraman Tiga and his escort Ultraman Dyna, the excitement of their company had worn off.
Ultraman Taro gestured, and Dyna came to a halt, hovering in mid-air. Lin Di listened intently, his eyes sparkling with excitement as Taro addressed him. Dyna nodded slightly, entrusting Lin Di to Taro with confidence that he would grow into a qualified warrior of light.
Lin Di was excited, not about attending school, but about meeting Taro. He noted Taro's crown bracelet, remembering its ability to transform and unleash numerous skills.
Suddenly, a message appeared in Lin Di's mind: [The Omniscient Ultraman System has been activated]. The system informed him that upon reaching a certain level of favorability with an Ultraman, he would directly learn a skill from them.
[Ultraman Taro] [Relationship]: Acquaintance [Favorability]: 3/100, barely recognizing his existence
As system notifications flooded his mind, Dyna glanced back at Lin Di, patting his shoulder and thanking Taro. Lin Di, catching on to the situation, politely nodded to Taro, boosting Taro's favorability towards him.
Indeed, polite behavior seemed to be the key to winning Taro's favor. Lin Di decided to focus on manners to increase his standing with Taro.
Ultraman Dyna encouraged Lin Di, promising to send Ultraman autographs during the holidays. Lin Di reassured Dyna, aspiring to become an exemplary warrior like his brother and Dyna.
[Ultraman Taro Favorability +1] [Ultraman Dyna Favorability +5]
Following Taro, Lin Di was led to the entrance of the school in the Land of Light, where he was to be enrolled in the elite class, aiming to become a distinguished warrior among Ultramen.
As they walked through the academy, Taro laid out the rules, including the prohibition of flying in certain areas, a rule that took Lin Di by surprise. The concept of dividing Ultramen into classes was entirely new and bewildering to him.
He promised to strive for excellence, further increasing Taro's favorability. Their journey through the academy showcased the various buildings and facilities until they reached the classroom where the new students were waiting.
Among them were Ultraman Orb, Ultraman Zero, Ultraman Belial, and Ultraman Taiga, each with their unique backgrounds but without their signature items, indicating they were still students.
Ultraman Taro introduced Lin Di as Ultraman Diga, the newest student from Earth, urging everyone to welcome him and learn from each other to become qualified warriors of light.
The mention of Earth sparked curiosity among the students, all of whom turned to observe Lin Di with interest. Despite the uniform expressions of Ultramen, Lin Di could sense their curiosity about him.
