The number changed from 1 to 2, so does this line indicate the number of transformations I can perform?
Mamoru Shirogane suddenly asked, "Qi Ming, you now possess the power to change the world. What do you want to do with it?"
He was a little worried. Qi Ming hadn't gone through the tempering process of slow struggle, and suddenly obtaining a powerful force made him fear that Qi Ming might get lost.
Qi Ming casually replied, "Help people within my capabilities."
Although only twenty-one years old, Qi Ming was not an ordinary university student. The few perilous experiences he had in the past gave him the confidence to wield this power.
This answer surprised Mamoru Shirogane. After a slight frown, his brow smoothed out, and he said, "If you search with your heart, you will surely find your way home."
"I'll help too. In the meantime, how about joining the Defense Team?"
"You need me, and I need you."
Thinking of the list of Defense Team members he had just seen in the book, Qi Ming showed a troubled expression.
Facing Mamoru Shirogane's eager gaze, he reluctantly said, "If it's a temporary position, I can try."
He also needed a place to stay and wanted to use TPC's research capabilities to find a way back.
Mamoru Shirogane understood his intentions but didn't say much, wanting to slowly cultivate his sense of belonging.
"Captain, Captain! You are..." At this moment, Yamanaka and Kishida came looking for him.
Seeing Qi Ming, both of them were a little stunned.
The young man supporting the captain stood tall and straight, with a face like jade and eyes like ink, appearing like an immortal.
This guy's appearance... it's incredibly striking!
"Who are you, and why are you here?" Yamanaka was the first to react. Outsiders shouldn't be in this combat zone.
Qi Ming, being new, decided that saying less was more and wanted the more appropriate Mamoru Shirogane to explain.
To his surprise, Mamoru Shirogane waved his hand without a word, signaling to pack up.
Qi Ming: "?"
Is this how you want me to join the Defense Team? This will make me look suspicious.
This was Mamoru Shirogane's second weakness as captain: he didn't know how to use white lies to resolve conflicts between team members.
In episode fourteen of "Ultraman Leo," the MAC team suffered consecutive casualties while fighting a Scorpion Monster.
As a result, Mamoru Shirogane forbade two elite members, who wanted to avenge their teammates, from fighting and forcibly ordered them to practice martial arts with Homura.
His actions, which seemed to prioritize helping Homura deal with challenges and regain face by continuing to give him special treatment during wartime and treating public personnel like private coaches, also angered those two team members.
They took their anger out on Homura, leaving Homura in an awkward position. Even Homura's kneeling pleas were met with their cold stares and angry curses.
People often say Leo is a tragic hero, but if Mamoru Shirogane, as captain, had been more flexible, Homura wouldn't have had to suffer so much...
Qi Ming had no choice but to speak up, claiming he was a tourist visiting ancient sites. He saw Mamoru Shirogane's fighter jet crash and thought he couldn't stand by and watch a hero protecting Earth, so he rescued him from the cockpit and brought him to a safe area.
Kishida shook his head, "You haven't received professional training, have you? You were too reckless. Captain, are you seriously injured?"
"I'm fine." However, as soon as Mamoru Shirogane took a step, he stumbled and almost fell.
"Captain, your leg!" Yamanaka glared at Qi Ming, "You brat, what are you trying to show off for!"
Seeing his beloved captain so badly injured, he started speaking without thinking again.
Qi Ming: "?"
Are they thinking my rescue method was improper and trying to blame me for Mamoru Shirogane's injury?
Qi Ming smiled and retorted, "Why don't you blame your mother instead, and say she had problems giving birth to you?"
