I climb a mountain of monstercorpses. With every step I take, I feel something squish beneath my feet. If someone would look at this scene, then they would only describe it as the murderspree of a wargod.
"~IF YOU WANNA BE MY LOVER, YOU GOTTA GET WITH MY FRIEEENDS. MAKE IT LAST FOREVER, FRIENDSHIP NEVER EEEEENDS!~" (Me)
----------------------------------------
That is a very interesting warcry, young master. Just as expected.
----------------------------------------
Why do I have to work with a retard?
----------------------------------------
"Oh? Already no monsters left, huh? What a shame, I still had my whole playlist to sing. SHIT! I SHOULD'VE SUNG THE OPENING OF LUCKY STAR!" (Me)
I look around me from the top of the mountain and look into pale faces.
"What? Do you want to sing along?" (Me)
----------------------------------------
MOST CERTAINLY FUCKING NOT?!
----------------------------------------
"Y-You're pretty amazing, aren't you? In what class are you?" (Survivor #1)
"I can kill monsters like these with ease, what fucking class do you think I am?" (Me)
"Are you maybe the representative of the first years?" (Survivor #2)
"If not, then I would be fucking afraid of our first years." (Me)
I slide down the pile of corpses and return to my group, while ignoring the terrified gazes of the others.
'I guess I'll have quite a bit of a reputation when everything settles down.'
"Yu? Could it be that you became even stronger somehow?" (Aline)
"Didn't I already tell you? We've been down that hole for about 4 months and I only fought monsters stronger than these." (Me)
"4 MONTHS?! But you were only away for 5 hours?!" (Janna)
"5 seconds." (Aline)
'Her perception of time goes apeshit crazy when I'm not there, gotcha.'
"In time of doubt, ask Alexandra!" (Me)
"The time inside of the inner parts of the dungeon flows way faster than outside. Even if you were to go there for a thousand years, only one minute would go by in the real world." (Alexandra)
"So that means I could train there until I'm overpowered?" (Me)
"Yes, but you couldn't come out again. We've already once used the only exit and it won't reset." (Alexandra)
"Tch." (Me)
Suddenly someone grabs me by the shoulder. I turn around and look a certain person right in his visage.
"Would you fucking die already?! You're betraying your own name!" (Me)
"If you hadn't saved us from a calamity, then I would give you a nice little whooping right now. I'm here to deliver a message." (Unneeded person #1 who will probably die soon)
"Yeah, yeah. Just bring me to the headmaster." (Me)
"I won't even ask why you know that." (Unneeded person #1 who will probably die soon)
I say some last words to my little group and follow my teacher to the headmasters office. It's a little bit hidden, since you literally have to cross a fucking labyrinth to get there, but it does have some style.
We arrive after about 15 minutes of being lost and I open the double doors... by kicking them open.
"THE SAVIOUR OF YOUR ACADEMY ARRIVED!" (Me)
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
In the next moment, I feel something grab me by the ankle and pull me up.
"I think you lack some manners? *slap*" (???)
I feel a burning pain run through my behind.
"WHOMST'D'VE HIT ME BUTTOCKS?!" (Me)
I try to blink away, only to find out that for some reason my magic is blocked. But I'm not completely hopeless without my magic, or else my whole DEX stat would be for naught, so I wrap my free leg around my attackers neck and pull myself up. With the gained momentum, I try to throw my attacker down, but at that moment he throws me away, and quiet crudely if I had to say.
I land safely and take a look at my attacker. A voluptuous chest greets me, caged in a brown suit with an office skirt. Normally, that's the normal thing to wear at your workplace, but right now it seems more like a provocation of my imagination. Her face has a mature charm to it, and with the brown hair tied to a bun she looks just like a teacher out of certain adult movies.
"Are you single by chance?" (Me)
"Been single since I was born. I'm married with work." (???)
"Ever got defiled?" (Me)
"No." (???)
"Want to get defiled?" (Me)
"Only by the right man." (???)
Every single question I ask, she answers coolly without even blinking.
'I don't think I can really do what I want while being with her.'
I put on a serious expression, which makes it seem like the show before that was just an act.
----------------------------------------
So you can also be serious?
----------------------------------------
'If the situation needs it, sure. If I'm with people who I either don't care about or I'm already comfortable with, then why should I watch out for how I act?'
----------------------------------------
That... actually makes sense...
----------------------------------------
'And the actual reason for why I actually go apeshit crazy recently still hasn't been revealed to you yet *wink*.'
----------------------------------------
Maybe your libido makes you go crazy?
----------------------------------------
'HOW DID YOU KNOW?!'
"Ho? Your aura changed? Not bad for a thirteen year old." (???)
"So? What do you need from me?" (Me)
"First things first, my name is Stephanie Ross. I'm your headmaster." (Stephanie)
"My name is Yu Krifta. But I guess you already knew that." (Me)
"Why shouldn't I know the savior of our school?" (Stephanie)
"Get to the point." (Me)
"Fine. The information, that a first year saved our academy, already travelled through the whole city. The royal court wants to honor you with a public ceremony, which would then give you a high chance of later becoming an important person either in the army or in the royal guard itself." (Stephanie)
'Sounds good at first, since I would get a certain amount of fame from just attending one ceremony. But there's still something that bugs me.'
"I refuse." (Me)
A grin appears on Stephanies face.
"And why is that?" (Stephanie)
"I think you already know it, but the royal family basically wants to tie me down to their country by telling everyone how hard I fought for them. I would practically be just another chess piece in their hands." (Me)
"Splendid. Fantastic Yu! Finally someone who doesn't want to be under the fangs of royalty!" (Stephanie)
"I think you misunderstood." (Me)
After thinking about it, I finally found the reason why I couldn't activate magic since I entered this room. A magic circle hidden under the carpet was the cause of it. I throw a knife right at the edge of the cicle, causing it to be interrupted.
"I don't only want to "not be a chesspiece" for them. I want to become "them"." (Me)
I blink on the leatherchair which probably belongs to the headmaster. Behind it is a huge window through which you can see the whole campus.
"Wha- what do you mean by saying that you want to become "them"?" (Stepanie)
Finally, her expression lets out a bit of emotion.
"Just think about it, Stephanie." (Me)
"You can't actually mean that you want to become a power higher than royalty, can you?" (Stephanie)
"Why shouldn't I?" (Me)
Stephanie falls into thought for a few seconds, before blurting something out which I already expected.
"The- then we can work together! With my help it ought to be easi-" (Stephanie)
"I bet you thought that I would be easy to handle, right headmaster?" (Me)
"...So what if I did?" (Stephanie)
"I guess you must've heard from everyone that I'm just another strong student, who coincidentally has a few screws loose." (Me)
"Well, you just massacred a horde of monsters of calamity class while singing, so yes. I still think you have a few screws loose." (Stephanie)
"Do you really think I act like a fool and do all those things just for shits and giggles?" (Me)
"Why do you do them then?" (Stephanie)
"The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent -Sun Tzu in "The art of war". Don't you think that that actually fits pretty well right now?" (Me)
Stephanie looks at me speechlessly.
"I guess you don't really know what I'm talking about. Don't think that you can ever control someone like me. If you can control someone like me, then you could even control the gods." (Me)
I stand up from the leatherchair and make my way, slowly, to the exit.
"Wait!" (Stephanie)
Her last plead rings through my ears.
"I'm listening." (Me)
She looks at me with an agape mouth, but nothing comes out.
"If you actually find the words you were trying to say, then come to my room. You're always welcome *wink*." (Me)
This may have sounded like a joke, but my face was serious the whole time.
----------------------------------------
I think I remember why I was assigned to you.
----------------------------------------
'What? Have you finally fallen for me as well?'
----------------------------------------
But should you really tell her all that?
----------------------------------------
'Haven't you learned anything from the conversation just now? Nothing I do is without a reason.'
I finally exit the headmasters office. My teacher in summoning magic greets me, since he waited outside the whole time.
"What did you talk about?" (Unneeded person #1 who will probably die soon)
"We talked about our favorite food. What the fuck do you think we talked about?" (Me)
