Ultraman

It's not hard to see that, despite having the ultra-realistic Ultraman armor paper shell and PVC material board carved with Aomo's technical resources, the quality of this class play is still rather delicate.

After all, what Neihai and Liuhua and others decided to restart after the war was not just the script, but also the realization that they must not rely too much on seniors' technical support and should instead unite more with classmates.

original Ultraman

The projection effects of Ultraman beams and repair beams, etc., combined with the theater's intentionally created dim effect, are still quite good.

At one point, it created uniform exclamations of astonishment in the audience, and everyone was indeed marveling at this stunning expressive power.

dark-armored Ultraman

More often than not, it is Neihai personally playing Ultraman, and together with classmates beneath that chaotic-origin paper-shell armor, they engage in a stage-play-style 'battle' and shouting.

The script was also heavily revised to help the audience better understand and immerse themselves, and indeed the existence of Devil Zero was deleted.

But correspondingly, compared to the original script, several more 'Ultraman' were stuffed in.

This should have been a much larger workload, but the two-year F class indeed fully grasped the essence of saving money in special effects:

Just as an old costume can be reused with a few alterations, in fact, earlier prop-making had already discarded many paper armor props because their production style didn't meet the requirements.

Coincidentally, taking them and reworking them a bit yielded the newly appearing few: a dark-style Ultraman, a mecha-style Ultraman, and the original-version Ultraman.

The original Devil Zero's role was given to the dark-style Ultraman, and together they finally joined hands to write a script in which everyone gathered countless worlds' Ultraman to jointly resist destruction.

For outsiders who don't know the inside story, such a story's impression will obviously be far more comfortable than the truth.

The crisis of the Ultraman universe was resolved by the teenagers of this universe together with Ultraman—such handling is considered the maximization of shaping the core concept and the image of Ultraman.

By comparison, the existence of a few Aomo Linduns and Devil Zero is really too much of a deus ex machina.

Even Aomo himself would point this out before that script: a qualified work capable of drawing outsiders in must be completely logically self-consistent, rather than trying to explain to the audience with 'the fact is just that, there really is such an otherworldly person with a huge weight helping out'.

Stories need logic; reality may seem not to need it, but in fact it also follows logic.

News and events that seem to not need logic are merely because the information provided is insufficient—you cannot truly have a god's-eye view to understand them, so you think everything develops in such an absurd, baseless way.

When Aomo was young, he once heard a saying from an elder in the demon realm:

'If you live long enough, you will understand that everything has a cause; all present outcomes will flow into the next karmic bond.'

Even the so-called revenge story of cutting grass and pulling out roots.

They are also stories that take place after revenge, and another group of people benefit from the influence of the story's ending, and their stories begin.

Some influences can even span decades; any seemingly unrelated, causeless change will always have a reason you haven't noticed.

But in reality, you will choose to accept and compromise because of the cost of investigating deeply.

But stories are different.

Stories have the 'narration' as the voice of God, stories also have the 'scene switching' as a descriptive expression, and stories further have the 'inner voice' as a thorough display—combined, this god's-eye view can still leave the audience confused about what happened……

Then you can only get sprayed. jpg

So when manpower, material resources, and time are not very abundant, if you want to display what you most want to display, you must reduce the weight of other things, and you must also consider the team that works together for your work.

You must ensure that what you want to convey is indeed conveyed, and you must also consider the audience's impression.

So in the story, Aomo Lindun became a local, and the demon god ZERO turned into a combined sinner, dark armor Guritt.

So in the story, Xin Tiao Qian is no longer a god, but has become a special monster tamer.

But actually, in Aomo's main suggestion, it's still directly digging up the roles of existences like himself and Qian.

A stage play's capacity can't hold too many people and events; a story that wants great success still has to do subtraction.

But Neihai and Liuhua both uniquely refuse to compromise on reducing the basic number of people.

Thus we have this performance now.

Hearing others speak lines you never said in your own name is a rather subtle experience, but when the other person says words you actually did say, the impression becomes even more subtle.

And the reactions of Yutai, Qian, Er Dai Mu, and a few people, together with Suzi and Bi Ze, laughing openly, made Aomo, who had been putting on a stiff face for a while, and the tense-faced Nai Te, appear so out of place.

Seeing this, and then looking at the helplessly smiling Liuhua, Aomo couldn't help but admit the generational gap coming from mindset.

At this point, the new universe, whose expression fluctuations are not obvious, undoubtedly brings a slight sense of relief, but this blonde little girl, because her presence in the impressions of Liuhua and Neihai is so low as to be almost nonexistent, simply wasn't written into the script.

So Aomo could only continue putting on a stiff face until the play ended, when everyone bowed together in curtain call, and then, as the third-year students presented their program, he tiptoed over to the dim gymnasium stage together with Yutai.

Bi Ze originally tried to catch up with the team, but despite being intercepted by Nai Te, he regrettably admitted he had missed the big event, and heartbroken went to look for Jie Si Ti Si, who had previously tried to lower his presence.

Planning to strengthen the relationship of fellow brothers who have similarly missed too much.

His situation of being barred from involvement due to insufficient strength, and Jie Si Ti Si's situation of having tried from the start but being stuck in some world and unable to come, it's hard to say which is more embarrassing.

But here no one would mock them; even the usually familiar and not lacking in aggressiveness Ailisuzhi is now busy communicating upon meeting Er Dai Mu who rushed in midway.

Regarding this, she also somewhat regrets that Jiai Qi Guang has already returned to his hometown with Guritt and others, and didn't stay for another two days.

Compared to the second generation, who relies on being a monster himself, with many inventions based on extending the application of monster world rules—folk science players—researchers like Jiai Qi Guang, who come from formal academic training, make Ailisuzhi's desire to communicate even more overflowing.

But missed is missed; at worst, we can sweet-talk the guinea pig a bit more, letting him contact the other party for us.

That's all for later; now!

We must first firmly hold Er Dai Mu's hand!

Everyone is a researcher and battlefield intercessor, one inside and one outside in combat; having this comrade-in-arms relationship, and both being very sociable, they become acquainted extremely quickly.

Soon they began the discussion session on 'new invention ideas', which was completely out of place with the other side's genuine JK topics.

"You… haven't made any progress yet?"

"... No, no, why suddenly say this?"

"After all, I was there too when Meng Hua and they left; she still thought you two were dating, everyone was cheering for you to be happy, but in the end Peng said you still haven't started…… Hehe, what do you want to do? Cover my mouth."

Shut up, shut up!!! You, you and Aomo, how are you doing!!!

We're fine, it's not okay to flip the topic like that, Liu Hua, want me to have Xiao She ask for you?

Not allowed!

Of course, I was just joking, you're obviously anxious, earlier when watching the stage play you were also sneaking glances at Yu Tai, smiling gently to yourself!

Why aren't you paying attention to the play! Wouldn't it be good to go watch Aomo!

Over there there are too many guys, Xiao She really—back then there were especially many women around, but here it's turned into especially many men around...

... Sounds like you're also having a tough time.

Are you still okay now? It'll only become troublesome after we go back.

Huh?

Can you imagine that quite a few of your same-sex friends secretly like Yu Tai, but because Yu Tai keeps avoiding these feelings, everyone knows they have no chance, so everyone simply waits for someone to break Yu Tai's heart barrier, and then make plans—what kind of environment is that?

Uh... what is the heart barrier? No, let's not talk about that, what you said... is it true?

"All of it?" The black-haired girl felt this was a bit too absurd.

Compared to a boy she likes suddenly turning into a super agent, going through a series of adventures and finally saying he's possessing a classmate's body while the real boy is still asleep, that's even more absurd.

Hmm... really more absurd?

We should cherish the monogamous social atmosphere, Liu Hua; if it were our place, it would be very troublesome, those women might have become so accustomed to the atmosphere that they truly don't care.

Qian gave earnest advice, Liu Hua didn't know what to say and could only say 'uh...'.

On the contrary, she never mentioned that her own view of love was also freakishly abnormal, silently removing herself from the abnormal group.

Also cherish the time when the person you like isn't that sought after, Liu Hua; I think Yu Tai still attracts older folks, maybe even not just females but males too...

Just thinking about some Yu Tai-related creations seen on the Federal Time Travelers Forum, Qian's expression became so subtle that Liu Hua felt quite uneasy.

Ah, really, really?

There probably isn't any here... but we definitely need to be careful—so when exactly did you guys bring this up?

Miss Qian's map is so short it can't even cover a utility knife sheath.

We and Xiao She can't stay here for long, right?

Just thinking about having to go back to class, catch up on notes, and prepare for the final exam, Qian couldn't help but feel sad.

However, this is actually the same situation as a few old classmates here.

After no longer repeating the cyclical school festival, Yu Tai, Liu Hua, and the others also have to prepare for the final exam.

Then you guys hurry back!!

Liu Hua, upon bringing up this topic, felt embarrassed to the point of not recognizing her own relatives.

No! You guys hurry up and confess! Best to get married right here!

Miss Qian was just about to roll on the spot; if it weren't for worrying about the crowd around, she would have turned the volume up to max.

But even with the volume lowered, Liu Hua turned her face away and didn't speak.

All that remained for her was a bright red earlobe, exposing the fact that her CPU had been fried.
