But here's the twist—
logically, this one is the worst ever.
Inside the mountain,
there's a portal that leads to a nonexistent land on this planet...
The origin of slime came from there.
Yes, that's right—
I'm going to see the Slime King.
While I was crossing the road,
everyone suddenly stopped.
I was like,
"Why the heck is everyone standing still?"
Then a very flashy car-like object passed by.
The person in front?
The strongest aura farmer ever to exist on Earth.
They call him Kieran fenric.
Behind him,
I saw Rajin and Yosuke.
They saw me.
Even though I look like my original self, Kurai,
I still look a bit different.
Rajin saw me and used his magic—
he ran at me with lightning speed, trying to catch me.
But when he was about to reach me,
I used Dash and flashed forward while running.
He followed me.
Just when he caught my hand,
I swapped myself with someone I touched on the road.
The guy screamed,
"Please don't kill me!"
Rajin said,
"Was that... déjà vu?"
Then Yosuke, standing on a tree, said,
"My eyes never miss details—there's definitely someone with that look nearby."
Rajin said,
"You're really strong.
One by one, I bet you've even surpassed me.
I remember the days when you were just a weakling,
shooting a gun and acting all high and mighty."
Yosuke laughed and said,
"Stop it. That's embarrassing.
By the way, have you contacted the others?"
Rajin nodded.
"Yeah. Dante said he already formed his crew.
They're planning to burn the whole school."
Yosuke said,
"Well, I heard Jian and Mei have become so strong
they even fight in wars now.
But they're still obsessed with each other."
Rajin said,
"I feel bad for Lyra.
So many hot guys, rich people, strong fighters—even nobles and princes have proposed to her.
But no one really gets to even know her, let alone be with her."
Yosuke said,
"She's kinda loyal though.
At this point, he could be considered dead.
But forget about his girlfriend.
Even we are still trying to find him in our kingdom."
Rajin said,
"Yeah, what a shame.
I wanna see David.
He became the strongest.
He's expected to beat that as
shat Rowan.
I heard Rowan's been doing well.
Everyone says he's the hottest, the best ever…
What a shame."
So anyway we are gonna beat the crap out of them right .
Yosuke said,
"You kidding we will swipe the floor with their damn face."
After that, Kieran Fenric came and said, "You two, stop chatting and get back to the car."
They responded, "Yes, sir."
Then he paused and said, "Wait a second.
I sense someone's presence."
I was using the Cloak Sigma wear to remain invisible, but suddenly, he appeared right in front of me and said, "You."
When he touched me, I was shocked—terrified, actually. He was terrifyingly fast.
I teleported to the deepest part of the mountain, breathing heavily, my legs shaking.
I couldn't believe how fast he was. Then, from behind, he said, "Are you here?"
I was shocked again.
Who the heck is this guy?
He looked straight at me and said, "I'm only asking once.
Who are you and what are you doing here?"
I snapped my fingers, thinking I was still perfectly invisible—yet he could see me.
In a panic, I snapped again and swapped him with a random customer I had seen earlier in a bag bar zone.
He reappeared, looked around, and said, "I knew it," then ran back, chasing me again.
In order to swap him again, I had to touch him—but he almost caught me.
Just before he could grab me, the earth swallowed me.
I don't know how, but suddenly, I was deep underground.
Everything around me turned colorful, like I was being transported to another world.
Eventually, I landed in front of a grand castle. The doors opened on their own.
Inside, a pretty slime showed me the way.
It led me through a corridor and said, "Enter."
I entered the room, and someone inside laughed hard.
"You're really funny!" the voice said. "Seriously!"
"So, who's laughing?" I asked.
A girl stepped forward and said, "My name is Noa Enma."
I asked, "Are you the Slime King?"
She laughed again and replied, "I'm the Slime Queen."
Just then, a loud "Boom!" echoed, and I said, "He's here."
They laughed again.
A guy stepped in and said, "I really saved your ass—even before you met me.
Back when you became one, you were such a loser."
He continued, "Not gonna lie, I don't think I'm gonna survive this either.
I could hold my own, but would I win?
Maybe.
Anyway, here we are, meeting at last.
I am the Slime King the name's kazuki kagemaru nice to meet you one fourth of kurai delta
Delta(ebisu) said,
"You make it sound creepy chill broo chill"
Kazuki said,
"That girl sitting on the throne is my wife."
I looked at them.
"You guys are just kids—maybe a year older than me. And you're married?"
He shrugged. "I love her so much I want to marry her.
We're not married yet, but we're considered as one."
Then he said, "From here on out, I'm going to train you. You'll become strong, I swear."
I interrupted, "Actually, I want you to join me as a student at the academy."
He said, "Nah, bro. I decline."
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Please, just tell me.
I want to experience academy life.
I won't be the strongest in the group, but I at least want to bring someone strong. What do you say?"
He asked, "What's your prime reason for wanting to join the academy?"
I replied, "To be by Lyra's side."
"Are you going to contact her and talk to her?"
"No, I'm not.
As long as I can make sure she won't be hurt by my actions, I'll ensure she lives a decent and better life.
If I'm a jerk who doesn't deserve her—wasting her youth—I'll let her move on. I'll even confirm to her that I'm dead."
Noa shouted, "You care about her that much?!"
I answered, "When you have someone to protect, someone necessary to you, it doesn't matter
what happens to you.
What matters is protecting them. And it's worse when it's a partner you love."
Noa screamed, "That's not it! That's not the problem! It's not like that!" She cried.
"If she loves you, she would do the same for you!"
The kazuki said, "Forget it. Sit down."
A comfy slime came over and laid behind me. I sat down and leaned back.
