Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

"So, there's some strange energy driving monsters to rampage recently, and it can give them magic that they didn't originally have? I've never seen such magic before."

After saying goodbye to Qingxuan and Xiaoen, Yaohui immediately went to Ajiu's location to report the situation to her. He explained the recent events to Ajiu in a straightforward and quick manner, but Yaohui rarely saw Ajiu looking worried.

"Sean left to investigate on his own, and the guild's mages are also studying the remains of the enhanced monsters. I've also made contact with the Earth Manipulator. Is there anything I've overlooked?"

“The surface problems can only be solved by waiting, which is something we can’t do. Let’s stop here for now. I’ll study the magic book here, and you should go back and rest. Haruki, you and Zeta must be tired from fighting today.”

A-Jiu's cheerfulness did not diminish despite her physical imprisonment, which made Yao-Hui admire her willpower. Even while enduring injustice alone, she was still thinking of others. Yao-Hui felt as if he had gotten to know A-Jiu all over again.

"Are you sure it's okay for you to be locked up here all this time? Should I ask Qingxuan to help me plead with the minister and get you released..."

"Alright, is this still the Yaohui I know? So humble! Looks like you're really exhausted today. Yaohui, go try some Zhuqing tea in town, the first cup is on me!"

A-Ku couldn't stand Haruki bowing to injustice. She could accept being schemed against as an ordinary person, but seeing everyone's idolized hero being harassed by petty people would make her furious. Haruki and Zeta are both kind, but in a world of power, kindness doesn't bring salvation like in fairy tales.

A silver coin is tossed into the confined room, reflecting the dim light and bringing a brief but bright flash to the dark scene.

The unique texture tumbled in the air, emitting a faint silver bell sound. The light quickly shifted and was held in the hand of someone with a purpose. Qingxuan looked at the light magic spirit stone in his hand and fell into thought.

The spacious and tidy room wasn't maintained by him personally, as he rarely returned home; the housekeeper had taken care of everything. A crystal lamp overhead illuminated the entire scene, and a cool evening breeze occasionally drifted in from the slightly ajar window in the distance.

The comfortable living conditions didn't satisfy Qingxuan much; on the contrary, he was quite anxious. As was his usual routine, after each monster battle, his father would make him attend various public events, read prepared speeches, and then be forced to sit there without being allowed to move around freely.

Such occasions only occurred after Qingxuan became the Earth Master. His father said that doing these things would earn the trust of the people, allow the Earth Master to gain greater power, and thus better protect everyone.

At first, Qingxuan had questioned why he had to say things he didn't mean to gain everyone's trust. But after experiencing too many similar situations, he stopped seeking answers. Protecting everyone and fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a hero—what difference did one more or one less question make?

Every child dreams of being a hero, especially in this place saved by a hero. Children who grew up hearing stories of heroes will spontaneously find friends and begin their role-playing games. They don't seek brilliance or recognition; simply having a chance to unleash their imagination with a group of like-minded companions is enough to make them incredibly happy.

The shady woods are a great place to cool off and a stage for children to perform. With just a few sticks, a warrior's duel can be staged, and even a small hillside can keep everyone climbing up and down all day.

Young Qingxuan often saw this scene on his way home from school, but he would just watch from the side and would be too embarrassed to speak up unless invited.

Qingxuan really wanted to experience what it was like to be a hero, even if it was just in a game.

"What are you looking at, Xiao Xuanzi? Did you run so fast after school just to stand here like an idiot?" "What are you showing off for, Sean? You got kept after class for dozing off and you still have the nerve to criticize me!"

The words coming from behind made Qingxuan turn around and see that it was someone he knew. He glanced at him and quickly opened his mouth to respond. Qingxuan always felt that he had something to say to Sean. Perhaps it was because the two were neighbors and the same age that they had a lot in common.

"Aren't you going to play with some people, Qingxuan? I've recently learned a new skill that I can teach you!" "Forget it, I'd better go home and do my homework. I've already talked to my dad, and if I can get into the top ten in my grade and class on the final exam, he'll take me to see the Earth Master. I can't let this opportunity slip by!"

Sean chuckled disdainfully at Qingxuan, amused by the other's hypocritical expression. "Top ten in the final exams? Doesn't your dad know there are only nineteen people in our class?" "Mind your own business. Anyway, my dad promised, so I'm definitely going."

"Oh, you like Earth Masters that much? Then let me ask you, how many modes does an Earth Master's cannon have? Where does an Earth Master's shield come from? How does an Earth Master summon an Earth Master?" "This... I've never seen it with my own eyes, how would I know..."

Sean's barrage of questions made Qingxuan lose her confidence. She had just wanted to show off to Sean but unexpectedly embarrassed herself. Qingxuan turned her face away, looking very nervous, with a slight blush on her fair face.

"Everyone, tell me, how many modes does the Earth Guard's cannons have?"

"Three kinds! Flame Cannon, Earth Light Rush, Wooden Cherry Missile, bongbongbong!" "Watch my Flame Cannon!" "You're cheating! This is a fist, not a cannonball!"

The children were so engrossed in their love for the guardians and their own enjoyment that no one paid attention to the reason for the question, nor did anyone blame Qingxuan for avoiding it.

"Where did that earth shield come from?" "You can activate the earth shield by pressing your right wrist! Fearless charge, go!" "Who uses tree bark as a shield? It's so dirty, don't come near me!" "Hehe, surrender or not? If you don't surrender, I'm coming over!"

Qingxuan stared at everyone in the distance, somewhat lost in thought. He didn't understand why everyone was so familiar with Tuyu and knew so many details that he didn't know. Watching his peers playing in the distance, Qingxuan felt very envious. He also wanted to know more about Tuyu, just like them.

"Huh? Have they met the Earth Masters? How do they know so much about them?"

"No, the knowledge about Tsuchigumo is all from the rules of the game, and these rules were taught to us by the previous students. But I've heard that the knowledge in these rules is true."

Sean answered Qingxuan's question casually, and Qingxuan was even more surprised to see everyone so convinced of the unknown. What made Qingxuan even more regretful was that he had so many opportunities to learn about Tuyu, yet he was completely unaware of them.

"Finally, there's the Earth Master's summoning animation, Hey! Ha!" Sean deliberately saved the transformation animation for himself, mustered his strength, struck a pose, and transformed with all his might, slapping the ground with his hands to send fallen leaves flying, and making a voiceover to cheer himself on.

"This...this! Teach me this, Sean, please teach me!"

Children's innocent interests don't need any fancy decorations; a few simple actions plus their own beautiful imagination are enough to bring them a lot of joy.

Qingxuan joined the game with his peers this time, and also learned about earth control and friendship in the game. It was knowledge he learned from being with them.
