Chapter 6 - Fighting the First Boss

"In this world, no one can defeat me," Stella muttered.

I was born into a noble family, blessed with an overpowered blessing.

Because of my blessing, I was respected by many.

Scene transitions to a training arena.

Stella held a wooden sword, facing her instructor, who was about to teach her basic sword techniques.

The instructor fought Stella.

However, due to Stella's overwhelming power, she defeated him in just five strikes.

"Tch," the instructor looked at Stella with a gaze full of hatred, feeling humiliated.

Not long after, he resigned.

For Stella, no one was worthy of being her opponent.

This made her bored of constant fighting.

At the age of 15, she became a young adventurer and joined dungeon expeditions with others.

But everything changed when she accepted a new quest.

Scene transitions to the Adventurer's Guild.

Stella sat alone in the corner.

She was approached by the guild leader, Kargagan.

"Sitting alone again, huh?"

Stella glanced at Kargagan.

"Yeah."

"Wanna try this drink?"

Stella took the drink, sniffed it first, then drank it.

"It's not even alcohol, why sniff it first like a cute little puppy?"

"Just get to the point."

"Hahaha, you really hate small talk."

Kargagan handed Stella a quest paper.

After accepting the quest, she headed to the dungeon.

She thought this dungeon would be easy. She walked casually, but strangely only found monster corpses throughout the dungeon.

When she reached the final floor, instead of a dungeon boss, she found three humans and two corpses.

She asked them a few things.

Then she tried to leave.

But one of them stopped her and asked for help.

Among the three, only one stood out—a man with torn clothes, full of blood and wounds.

That man was Allen, the one who changed her life.

I, who was once undefeated… I, who was admired by so many—none of that mattered to him.

Without realizing it, I started liking him.

Back to the academy.

Stella sat calmly next to Allen.

"Feeling better?"

"Yes."

Allen looked left and right.

He stared at Stella intensely for a few seconds.

"What are you looking at?"

Allen paused.

"Damn, why are Stella's boobs so big? In my previous world, I had small boobs… now I've been reincarnated as a man," Allen muttered.

Then he realized something.

"By the way, where's Rika?"

"She's resting with her fiancé."

Allen suddenly slammed the table, his expression turning serious.

"What's wrong?"

Allen ran out of the classroom.

Stella had never seen Allen like that before. She decided to chase him.

Allen arrived at a room.

"Damn, it's locked!"

Stella caught up to him.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"You'll know once you see this."

Allen clenched his fist and smashed the door into pieces.

Inside the room were three men bullying Rika.

"Ah, looks like your friends came for you, Rika."

Stella was shocked seeing Rika being bullied.

"Hey! Let that girl go!"

SYSTEM:

NAME: KAZUTORA

JOB: MASTER OF BEAST

"Why are you bullying Rika?" asked Stella.

Kazutora laughed.

"You really are her best friend, Stella-chan. But I'm disappointed. As a Master of Beast, I have to marry a woman with the Beast Warrior job—but sadly, she's just a failed product."

In the game, Rika was always bullied by Kazutora because he saw her as a failure.

Kanaya already knew this scenario. The MC (Stella) had the duty to save Rika.

Kazutora was also the strongest enemy and first boss in the game.

Allen smiled.

"Are you done talking?"

Kazutora, annoyed, immediately attacked with his beast.

Allen pushed Stella.

"Move, dumbass! You're just a burden!"

The beast's attack hit Allen, breaking the floor beneath him.

"NPC acting all tough," said Kazutora.

"Allen… no way he's lost?" said Stella.

"Hey, what are you two doing? Catch Stella now!"

The two men restrained Stella and tied her next to Rika.

Kazutora laughed like a villain.

"Once again, someone dies because of you, Rika. Now two more victims."

"What do you mean 'once again'?" said Stella.

Rika lowered her head.

"I've killed several people who tried to save Rika."

Stella was shocked.

"Aren't you afraid of punishment?"

"Punishment? Sadly, I'm immune. I'm an important member of the royal family."

"Important, huh?"

Stella broke her restraints.

"Oi! What are you waiting for? Take her down!"

The two men tried to attack Stella, but failed. Stella used Excalibur to knock them out.

"You might be royalty, but I'm still above you," she said, pointing Excalibur at him.

Kazutora formed hand seals and summoned beasts.

The summons attacked Stella.

She easily slashed through them.

Kazutora didn't give up and summoned a beast twice the size of the school.

"What now, Stella-chan? If I attack, the students here will be crushed."

"This is just the beginning."

Stella dashed toward the beast and fought it.

All her attacks were blocked.

She then cast space-time magic, shrinking the beast and erasing it.

Stella panted heavily, exhausted.

"Is that all the strongest student can do? Time to witness my true power!"

Kazutora fused with his strongest summon.

A mark appeared on his back.

"Damn," said Stella, breathing heavily.

Allen appeared and patted Stella's shoulder.

"Good job."

"Oh, the janitor's still alive, huh?"

Ignoring Kazutora's words, Allen appeared behind him and slashed.

The attack severed Kazutora's arm.

But Kazutora countered and smashed Allen into a wall, then beat him.

"You made a big mistake, Kazutora."

Kazutora looked confused.

SYSTEM:

YOU HAVE DIED MULTIPLE TIMES

SKILL GRADE-UP UNLOCKED – STAGE 3: REACTIVE EVOLUTION

Allen drew the Sword of Shinigami.

"The real battle starts now."

Allen's body was still pinned to the wall.

He launched Kazutora's body with such force that it sent him flying out of the school.

Kazutora, still soaring through the sky, was caught midair by Allen, who then slammed him down into the forest.

Kazutora was severely injured.

He coughed up blood.

Allen didn't give him a chance to recover. In an instant, he appeared before Kazutora and kicked him all the way to the moon.

Kazutora, enraged, revealed his third form—his wings unfurled as darkness swallowed the world.

"You bastard… I'm going to kill you…"

Before he could finish, Allen slashed through Kazutora's body—and unintentionally split the moon in two.

But Kazutora wasn't done yet. In his third phase, the world turned pitch black as he emerged again, this time with a cocky grin.

"I underestimated you, Allen. Now it's time I got serious."

"You're still standing after my sword slash?" Allen asked.

"What do you think I'm made of? Paper?"

"Tissue."

Kazutora trembled in fury, his teeth clenched tightly.

"You piece of sh*t… I'll kill you!"

He launched a devastating kick at Allen, generating a thick blue shockwave that fractured the very dimensions.

But Allen was unscathed. Instead, it was Kazutora whose leg shattered into pieces.

"What kind of monster are you…?"

"I'm just an NPC… with a janitor job."

"Is that so…"

Allen smirked, glancing around at the chaos caused by Kazutora.

"I guess it's time I use my most broken skill."

Kazutora stood in confusion.

Allen pointed at him with a relaxed, sly smile.

"Hey buddy, got any last words?"

"What are you talking ab—"

"No? Then die."

Kazutora's body instantly turned to dust.

Allen gazed at the Sword of Shinigami.

Gripping it tightly, his eyes turned a deep purple.

"Creation," he whispered, slashing his sword.

All the destruction vanished. The world healed instantly, as if nothing had happened.

His eyes returned to normal as he descended back to Earth.

Allen calmly walked back toward the academy, restoring damage as he went.

Once he arrived, he headed straight to the infirmary, where Stella and Rika were being treated.

He waved at them with an innocent—and slightly goofy—smile.

Then, he sat down beside them.

"Where is Kazutora?" asked Stella.

"He's dead," Allen replied flatly.

Rika froze, her eyes wide in disbelief.

"You… you killed him?" she snapped.

Allen looked her in the eyes.

"I just don't get you. That guy was clearly a scumbag."

"He was my fiancé!"

"What kind of fiancé tortures his future bride?"

Silence filled the room.

Allen quietly left and returned to his dorm.

He laid on his bed.

"What kind of creature am I… really?" he muttered.

— The Next Day —

Allen got ready for class. On the way, he stopped to buy some fruit.

As he walked through the corridor toward the infirmary, he overheard voices.

"You went too far, sister," said Stella.

Allen peeked into the room.

There were two girls. One of them, he didn't recognize. The other—he knew. Her name was Kuroichi.

Strangely, Stella had called Kuroichi her sister.

The red-haired girl suddenly noticed someone peeking.

She headed for the door.

Allen tried to flee, but in his panic, he slammed into a wall.

Before he could get away, she appeared right behind him.

"Who are you?" she asked.
