-No One's P.O.V-
So right now, You, Fran, and Teacher were encountering a Blue Cat that is the mortal enemy of the Black Cats.
Fran: Blue Cats are the enemies...
Fran then pulls out Teacher as she uses the Pocket Dimension to store the scabbard inside.
Fran: ...of Black Cats!
Teacher: (It's my first time seeing Fran like this...)
(Y/N): Hey Fran, what's the deal with the Blue Cats against the Black Cats?
Fran: Hundreds of years ago the Blue Cats deceived us, and the Black Cats were reduced to the lowest of all. Ever since then, they've targeted Black Cats and sold them off to slave traders.
(Y/N): Oh shit...
Teacher: So that's how it was. So they're Fran's arch-nemesis, a bunch of wretched ruffians.
That's when we see the Gyuran's right yellow eye glowing all of the sudden and then he said...
Gyuran: Power Perception.
Gyuran cast his skill and looks at Fran to only see she was Level 25 which made Gyuran make a confident grin on his face.
August: Gyohohoho! The Thousand Slasher, Gyuran! He is a hero of the Battle of Lutz! He'll cut your heads off in an instant!
Gyuran: Are you afraid of me?
Gyuran asked with the same grin on his face which made Fran was shaking in fear and is also gritting her teeth in anger.
That's when you put your hand in front of Fran to tell her to "Stay back" and she looks up and gives you in confusion until you said.
(Y/N): Fran, I think I should take a bit of action here
Fran: But...!
(Y/N): I understand your hatred for them. I can teach this guy a lesson for a bit or would you like me to take some a bit of measure?
You asked with a blank expression.
Teacher: (Whoa...(Y/N)'s expression...that's clearly terrifying...and I can sense a murderous aura around him...!)
Fran looked back at Gyuran as she calms herself down before lowering her weapon down until she spoke up.
Fran: Do what you want, I won't stop you.
(Y/N): Hm. If you say so.
Fran then steps back as she starts to watch you and Gyuran fight.
Gyuran: What's this? You really got scared and you let your big ol' friend here take care of me?
Gyuran asked in a teasing tone and Fran only gave him a death stare until you spoke up.
(Y/N): Quit talking, your opponent is in front of you.
Gyuran: Fine. You'll die first and then that Black Cat will be next!
Gyuran says with his finger pointed at Fran.
August: Ohohoho! Go ahead, Gyuran! Finish that boy off!
August tells Gyuran in an excited manner until Gyuran uses his Power Perception skill to check your level.
However, the vision of his Power Perception skill started glitching and it was filled with UNKNOWN around you along with your level.
Lv. U̸̟̯̤̳̒n̸̪̺̪̰̮̽̆͝k̶͓̼͈͇̈́̅̽n̶̢̞̖͖̅ô̴̢̭͜w̴̰̼̪̯͖̆n̷̡̥͇͔̺͌͛̒̆̏
Gyuran: (What the hell...?)
Gyuran thought to himself with a baffled expression as he used his Power Perception skill once again to see if what he was seeing was real.
He checked your level once again, but his vision of his Power Perception skill was still glitched out but your level was still corrupted with UNKNOWN marks around you, not revealing its true nature.
(A/N: What Gyuran sees when he used Power Perception at you:
Gyuran: (T-This kid...his level...!! I can't see what his power level is!! Is my Power Perception skill not working?! No, it worked perfectly fine from that little Black Cat, not this human boy!?)
(Y/N): Hey, what's going on in that mind of yours? Are you scared?
You asked with a menacing face.
Gyuran: I am not! I was using my own skill to take a look at your power level!
(Y/N): (What? He's scanning for my power level? Wait, he's using a skill that resembles a Scouter from Dragon Ball.) Well, it doesn't matter now. Now come at me with all you've got.
You said with a "Come here" gesture.
Gyuran: Hmph, don't you dare underestimate me!
Gyuran then charges at you with his big sword out and tries to slash down at you, but you blocked his sword just by using your finger in your right hand.
Gyuran: What?! You can block my attack just with your finger!?
(Y/N): Hey, keep trying will you?
Gyuran grits his teeth as he pulls back his sword and starts slicing you in every direction, but you just blocked them easily with your finger.
(Y/N): Heh, I can do this all day.
Gyuran: Shut the fuck up! Can't you just at least try to fight back!?
(Y/N): If you say so.
Gyuran goes for another slash attack, but you stopped him by pressing your two hands on his shoulders before kicking him away onto the nearby wall.
(Y/N): Well, that was a shame.
August: Ahhh!! Y-You...You..!! What have you done, you brat?!?! That was my only chance to kill you two!!
August says in anger with his finger pointed at you and Fran.
(Y/N): My guess is that you hired him to kill us without knowing our strength, despite Klimt telling you about me and Fran a week ago. Therefore, it's your fault for hiring him.
At this point, August was really screwed until everyone hears the grunts of Gyuran.
Gyuran: I...I'm not done yet...!
We then turned back to see Gyuran getting back up with his armor a bit damaged.
(Y/N): Still alive, huh?
Gyuran: Heh...
August: Yes! You're alive! Come on, get rid of them!
Gyuran: Shut up! I know my objective is, so stop telling me that!
August: Eeek!!
Teacher: Oh boy, Gyuran's not happy...
Gyuran turned back to you as he lets out a small chuckle before speaking up.
Gyuran: By the way...wanna hear a funny story...?
(Y/N): Go on. I'm listening.
Gyuran: A female Black Cat tried to resist once. I cut off her daughter's ears, limbs, and tail right in front of her. Everything from top to the bottom.
Upon hearing that information, both you and Fran had your eyes widened in shock.
Gyuran: That brat didn't make it and died halfway.
Teacher: This monster...
Gyuran: Next thing I did is that I gouged out the eyes of the female and hung her on the tree, and skinned her alive. The sounds she made when I tortured her gave me a rush.
(Y/N): What did you say...?
Gyuran: I threw her to the wild dogs afterward. *Turns to Fran* Have you ever heard of it? The sounds of bones crunching as one is ripped apart alive. How pleasant that sounded! Hehehe...!
Fran: You...you monster...!
Fran said with a furious expression in her eyes,
Gyuran: Oh? Seems I pissed off that little brat, guess you couldn't take it, huh?
You had enough of letting Gyuran talk until you start grabbing Gyuran's neck and holding him up high using your right hand.
Gyuran: W-Wha...?!?!
Gyuran tried to break free, but it was no use.
(Y/N): Everything that you did to that poor mother and the daughter of the Black Cats. That's quite cruel, and wouldn't that be considered a war crime?
Gyuran: G-hgh...!!
(Y/N): Say...how many Black Cats have you killed so far?
Gyuran: H-Hehe...I didn't...bother to keep track...after the tenth...
(Y/N): Huh, I see.
You then turn back to Fran and see that she has a dark expression on her face after hearing Gyuran lose count after killing the Black Cats.
(Y/N): Hmph. I have no point in killing you, but...
Gyuran: H-Huh...?
(Y/N): It ain't my problem when one's race is against another. Therefore, I'll let my little friend take you out so the Black Cats have their satisfaction by killing the Blue Cats.
Gyuran: ?!
You then dropped Gyuran until you quickly kick his legs, breaking them instantly. Plus, the bones were also crushed which can be heard in the area.
Gyuran: ARGHHH!!!
Gyuran then fell to the ground with both of his legs broken, rendering him crippled and blood leaking out of them.
Gyuran: M...My legs..!!!
(Y/N): Fran, here you go. I've had my fun.
You said as Fran starts walking up to the immobilized Gyuran with Teacher in her right hand.
Fran lifts Teacher up, ready to do horrible things to Gyuran, and not before saying...
Fran: Thanks...Onii-chan...
And just like that, Fran starts cutting off Gyuran's limbs off in a blink of an eye as Gyuran was screaming in pain after all of his limbs were cut off by Fran.
Gyuran: Damn you, Black Cat...! My level was higher than yours until your friend's level here showed me nothing!
Gyuran exclaims until Fran starts aiming the blade at Gyuran, ready to finish him off.
Teacher: Wait, Fran! If you must, I'll deliver the killing blow.
Fran: Teacher. I want to change the current situation that Black Cats are being brutally treated.
Teacher: Fran...
(Y/N): Huh, you need to be a politician to do that, Fran. It's a long way to go there if you want to make peace.
Fran: No, that's not what I mean.
(Y/N): Huh?
Fran: I want to evolve and show the other surviving Black Cats that they can do it, too, and cheer them up.
(Y/N): Oh, I see.
Fran: But if I let someone like him live on, the number of Black Cats will dwindle even further. It'll be too late then. This is something I must go through, so I think I must do this on my own.
Teacher: (Indeed. In a place where life is hardly valued, either (Y/N) or I can't force Fran to live by the values of the world I used to live in. In that case, my responsibility will be...) I understand. But use me when you end a life, alright?
Fran nodded in reply until we hear Gyuran speaking up.
Gyuran: Tch, do what you have to do...
Gyuran says, accepting his fate, as Fran gave him a nod before ripping half of his face off.
Teacher: (There must be some sense of self-satisfaction. But even if it's only a little, we want to share some of her burdens...)
(Y/N): Are you now happy, Fran?
Fran: *Nods* Mm. I'm good now.
Fran says with a stoic face as she then casts Dimension Storage to store all of the remains of Gyuran's corpse, limbs, and even his sword.
August: It...it disappeared! She dismembered Gyuran and made him disappear!
August says in shock and fear.
(Y/N): What are we gonna do with him?
Fran: Maybe we should kill him...
Fran was about to pull out Teacher, but something was popping out of thin air.
You, Fran, and Teacher see a water orb appearing in thin air in front of you three.
Teacher: What is that thing?
That's when everyone hears a familiar voice.
Klimt: It looks like I made it in time. I'm afraid I cannot allow you to kill that man.
(Y/N): Guild Master? Is that you?
Klimt: Yes, it's me. Please head back to the Guild, I've got some discussion with you two.
-Mini Time Skip-
Later, You, Teacher, and Fran went back to the Guild to have a conversation with Klimt as the three of you arrived at the office with the water orb following beside you.
Klimt: This thing here that I used to find you two is a Water Spirit. Isn't it adorable?
(Y/N): Yeah, it is indeed cute.
Fran: But it's weird. It looks like a blob of slime. I thought it would look more like a human.
Klimt: What?! Please do not lump spirits with the likes of slime! It is clearly far cuter than any slime could be! Only superior spirits can take on the form of humans. We're not at war right now. It would be absurd to summon a superior spirit at a time like this!
Klimt raises his voice with a bit of anger in it.
Fran: (The Guild Master is scary...)
Teacher: (So he's a spirit maniac...)
(Y/N): Um...thanks for the information, but it's just your own perspective on what you think of them, sir.
You tell him until Klimt clears his throat and sat down on his chair while the Water Spirit disappeared by his command.
Klimt: That aside, let's get back to the matter with August Allsand.
Teacher: (Ah, forgot all about him.)
Klimt: The adventurers from our guild should have escorted him back to Count Holmes' mansion by now. Count Holmes actually secretly requested us to find his son and apprehend him. He was placed under house arrest for offending royalty, but he ran away with a hefty sum of money.
(Y/N): (Huh, I was right. August did hire Gyuran to kill us and it also explains about his ugly appearance made him uglier.)
Teacher: (You don't have to kill him like that, (Y/N).)
Klimt: We don't know if he'll be made to answer for his deeds, but this marks the end of that matter for us.
(Y/N): Whew...what a pain...
Fran: Guild Master?
Klimt: What is it?
Fran: Since it was a request...Does that mean there's a reward for us?
Klimt: Yes, of course. We'll pay you, plus a bonus.
Teacher: Seriously?!
Klimt: But as we ask that you keep this matter a secret. I'm sure you two wouldn't want to get caught up in the nobles' affair either.
Fran: *Covers her mouth* Mm. My lips are sealed.
(Y/N): Uh-huh.
Klimt: Well, then, please pick up your reward at the counter from Nell.
Fran: Okay.
Fran says but wasn't paying attention while heading to the exit door until she bumped into a pair of breasts and falls to the ground, but you caught her in time by your arms.
(Y/N): Whoa, you good, Fran?
Fran: I'm fine.
???: I've returned.
You looked up and see a woman with pointy ears and you can tell that she's an Elf. You look at her appearance, she had a green cloak, long black hair with her right eye that was covered by her hair bangs, and a big chest.
???: Oh my. I'm terribly sorry.
(Y/N): Oh no, miss. It's all good.
???: Ah, I see.
Fran turns around to see who she bumped into until the elf woman looks at Fran with a surprised face.
???: Huh? You...I...
(Y/N) & Fran: Huh?
That's when...
???: I am your mother!
Just before the elf woman could hug Fran, you quickly grabbed Fran and lifted her up in the air which made the elf woman go face-planted on the floor.
(Y/N): Whoa, lady! Cool your jets will you?
You tell her as you put Fran down and then you see her hiding behind you.
Teacher: (Hey, Fran. Is that really your mom?)
Fran: No, she's not!
Teacher: (I figured. She doesn't even have cat ears. And you did mention that your mother had passed away.)
The elf woman quickly got back up as you put held your right arm in front of Fran as if to protect her.
???: Please! Let me hug her so she can call me her mommy!
The elf woman says in desperation as she tries to reach out to Fran, but you and Fran would move around to avoid her grasp.
Fran: You're not my mom!
Teacher: Huh? what's going on here?
(Y/N): Jeez, lady. Calm the heck down, and tell us who you are!
???: I'll tell you who I am if you let me kiss your little girl.
Fran: No, no way!
(Y/N): Plus, I ain't her dad. Just a big-brother figure to her!
???: I know that. So please, let me just kiss her so I won't bother you two.
(Y/N): Whoa, lady, no thanks! I ain't letting a stranger kiss Fran without even knowing who you are!
Klimt: That's enough, Amanda. I don't care how much you like children, but please be aware of your surroundings.
The woman that Klimt called "Amanda" backs off from you two.
Amanda: Okay, okay. Sorry, I might have taken it too far.
(Y/N): About time you spoke up, Guild Master.
Teacher: Wait a minute...if we recall Amanda is...
Klimt: Kids, this woman in front of you is Amanda. She's an A-Ranked Adventurer and she's Alesesa Guild's top ace.
(Y/N)/Fran/Teacher: (A-Rank!?)
Teacher: This elf lady is an A-rank adventurer? I must check her stats! Appraisal!
Teacher then checks all of Amanda's stats.
Teacher: She's 58? She's a half-elf...She looks young, but I suppose they have a longer lifespan...One can never judge any elf's age by their appearance...Her stats are way too op!! There's no way we ever stand a chance against her...except for (Y/N), that is...
Amanda: You two are Fran and (Y/N) if I'm not mistaken.
Fran: How do you know us?
Amanda: Well, I overheard some people talk about you two down in the lobby...A little newbie Black Cat and an Adventurer carried out the Goblin Dungeon as partners, right? Nice to meet you two.
Amanda says offering out a handshake as Fran accepted her handshake. And after Fran's handshake, Amanda turns to you and also offers you her handshake which you politely accepted.
Klimt: I sent her to investigate the unnatural ongoings in the Marou Plains.
Teacher: Marou Plains, huh...I wonder if it's because I messed up their ecosystem too much...
Amanda: That's why I hate these kinds of stuff because writing the reports are so annoying.
Klimt: Now, now...
Teacher: Very sorry...
Amanda: Well, it pains me but I'll see you two around.
(Y/N): Okay then...
Fran: See you.
And just like that, You, Fran, and Teacher left the Guild Master's office to get the rewards from Nell.
-The Next Day-
The next day comes, You, Fran, and Teacher were accepting another quest to collect herbs, but a familiar figure appeared who is collecting herbs as well.
Amanda: Oh, it's you two. Are you here to gather herbs for a quest? What a coincidence!
(Y/N): (Why do I sense bullshit coming from her words?)
-Alessa Library-
Fran: Where can we find another dungeon that's close to Alessa?
Old Man Elf Librarian: I believe that would be the dungeon near Ulmutt.
(Y/N): Ulmutt, huh...We'll consider it
???: Oh, we meet again.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, both you and Fran turned around to see Amanda...again.
-In The City-
You, Fran, and Teacher were walking around until Fran spoke up.
Fran: Onii-chan, let's get some cotton candy.
Fran says, pointing at the cotton candy stall.
(Y/N): Sure.
The two of you went up to the stall and looked at the menu first before speaking up to the employee.
(Y/N): We'll take two cotton candies, please.
Food Seller: Here you two go.
The Food Seller gives you and Fran the cotton candies, but you two didn't take them yet, because of seeing the same familiar face.
Amanda: Oh, what a coincidence!
(Y/N): (You can't call it a coincidence if you work here, ma'am.)
-At the Library-
We then see Fran reaching out to a random book that piqued her interest, but a familiar left hand appears and Fran wasn't surprised by this.
Amanda: Oh, hello again.
-At the City-
You and Fran were taking a left turn to the corner when someone bumped into you and it was Amanda again with bread in her mouth.
Amanda: Oh, another coincidence!
Fran & (Y/N): *Sigh* / *Facepalms* Ugh...
-The Next Day at the Inn-
Both you and Fran woke up from a good night's sleep at the Inn...
Fran: *Yawns* Onii-chan, can you get the curtain?
(Y/N): Sure.
You got off your bed and then open the curtain, but someone familiar was there and was hanging upside-down.
(Y/N): Ah, you...!
Amanda: Oh, fancy seeing you two here.
(Y/N): Get outta here!
You tell Amanda and closed the curtain.
-At the Bathrooms-
Fran was heading on her way to take a bath on her own but sees the same familiar face again.
Amanda: Oh, hello again...
Fran then casts a fire spell to blow Amanda inside while she was in the tub.
-With You-
Right now, you were chatting with Aria at her shop about the situation with Amanda.
Aria: Huh, I see. Well, it's not my problem if Amanda's around.
(Y/N): I know, I'm just ranting out a little bit.
You let out a sigh as you take one cooking and dipped it into the cup of milk before biting it.
(Y/N): Delicious~! Heh, it's been a while since the last time I ate cookies back in our home world.
Aria: Yeah, I miss 'em.
(Y/N): By the way, how did Amanda get a title called "Guardian of Children"?
Aria thinks for a moment before speaking up.
Aria: Well, she ain't a bad person for all I know. Amanda is pretty good with children and has been running an orphanage since she was very young and helping those poor little ones. Probably the gods themselves gave her that title through her actions a long time ago before we were reincarnated.
(Y/N): *Sigh* I see.
-To Inn at Nightime-
In the evening, Fran and Teacher start explaining everything from their perspective and the quest that the Guild Master had requested you two to look into.
(Y/N): Wait, you accepted a request by Klimt to investigate the spider's nest which is a dungeon nearby Alessa?
Fran: *Nods* Mm.
(Y/N): Why would Klimt would sent us there anyways?
Teacher: Well, it's just that the adventurers were really skeptical about Fran's promotion.
(Y/N): How exactly?
Teacher: You see, Fran was previously at Rank F while you were at Rank G. Klimt decided to put Fran straight into Rank D, skipping the E-rank because of defeating the Greater Demon while you were there, and also reached at E-Rank, skipping the F-Rank. However, people around in Alessa make some baseless rumors because they think that the Guild Master himself has a thing for little girls.
(Y/N) Oh my god...So that's the reason why he wants us to go to the Spider's Nest just to clear his name!
Teacher: Yup.
(Y/N): However, I'm an E-Rank so is there a law that could like forbid a low-ranker to go on a high-ranking quest?
Teacher: That's the question that I had in mind. However, Klimt informed the other adventurers about you and they decided to let you join in the D-rank quest...since...you know...you're strong and all.
(Y/N): If he says so. But the funny thing is that I'm heading to the D-Ranking quest, wouldn't that mean I would get promoted after completing it as an E-Rank adventurer?
Teacher: Hmm...that could be possible.
(Y/N): Oh boy...
Teacher: But that's not all. Once we complete the quest, we'll be able to pass to enter the dungeon in Ulmuttt. And if you're going to ask "How did the Guild Master know that?" It's all thanks to the Old Elf in the Library to tell the Guild Master about it. Plus, Amanda is coming with us as well to the Spider's Nest.
(Y/N): Her, too? Sheesh, things couldn't get any worse nowadays, huh?
Fran: You can say that again, Onii-chan.
(Y/N): Haha...
Teacher: Oh, check these out.
Teacher then pulls out the five crystals and places them on the table.
(Y/N): Oh? Where'd you get those?
Fran: The Guild Master gave it to us. Those crystals came from ranked D or higher monsters that Klimt collected when he was an adventurer. He and I did a bit of bargaining until I got five crystals.
(Y/N): Hehehe...aren't you a smart cookie?
Fran *Nods*: Mmhm, I sure am.
(Y/N); Say, what kind of crystals are these?
Teacher: According to Appraisal, three from D-rank monsters...
Teacher: ...and two from C-rank monsters.
Teacher: All of them are from monsters I've never heard of. Now then, without further ado...
Teacher then starts throwing the five crystals in the air and starts slicing them all.
Teacher: Thank you for the meal! Crystal absorbed!
That's when the sliced-up crystals were now absorbed into Teacher.
System Female Voice: Self-Evo activated. 45 Self-Evo points acquired. Here it comes! The long-waited rank-up!
Fran: Teacher, your stats went up!
Both you and Fran grabbed ice cream cones from the Dimensional Storage until you asked...
(Y/N): So, what skills did you get from the crystals?
Teacher: Let's see...I got quite a few water-based skills. I absorbed all of those crystals, so I've gotten a bunch of skills. It might take a bit to master all of them...
(List of New Skills: Water Manipulation, Frenzy, Heat Resistance, Weight Boost, Toxicology, Ice Resistance..)
That's when Teacher spots a familiar skill.
Teacher: Kin Summon/? oh, it's the skill we obtained from the Army Beetle Leader. Kin...does that mean we can summon allies or familiars?
(Y/N): I mean, that's literally what the skill does.
Teacher: I would like to try it out. In any case, this would be our second dungeon. Now that we've become stronger, we should be able to take it on.
Fran: Mm.
(Y/N): Yeah.
Teacher: Let's do our best!
...
(A/N: That's that! Stay tuned for Episode 8!)
