(A/N: 7.5k words of writing this chapter! It's a very long one!)
-Unknown Time and No One's P.O.V-
Somewhere in an Unknown time, we hear a familiar voice speaking up...
???: Good morning, sleepyhead.
It was the voice of Amanda speaking to someone.
And that someone is a little black cat girl who was woke up by Amanda.
Amanda: Kinan and the others are waiting for you to eat breakfast.
??? 2: Hmm...
Amanda: What's the matter?
??? 2: Amanda is...
-Present Time and Fran's Group-
In the present time, Fran's group sees a glowing white owl floating above you all.
Bart: What is that?!
Victor: It's glowing!
Fran: A monster?
(Y/N): Is that an owl?
-Cruise's Group-
Somewhere in the dungeon, we see Cruise's group struggling against the Trick and Trap Spiders that were surrounding all of them.
Krud: All these damn spiders! *Throws the Trick Spider* What's with these creatures?
Eizelle: Sorry, Cruise. We got into this adversity all because I didn't disarm the traps.
Cruise; At least we still have our weapons. Either way, save the reflections for later.
Both Eizelle and Cruise were killing a few spiders around them until Cruse spoke up.
Cruise: First, we've got to make it out here alive.
Krud: Make it out of here alive? *Lifts Gennel with his arm* Gennel is poisoned.
Gennel: Sorry, Krad...
Krad: The other party is all tied up too!
(A/N: Someone below on that picture is the Knight from the Forest Eyes.)
Knight: We're doomed! They're going to lay their eggs in me!
Elf with the Pickaxe Wand: Don't say such gross things!
Elf with the Bow: Someone save us!
Furion: This is embarrassing...
Cruise: Sword Technique...Dawn Break!
Cruse then jumps and slams his blade onto the ground, creating a strong stone wave against the Spiders.
Krud: Nice!
Gennel: *Gets hit by a rock* Ouch!
Eizelle: Cruise, we're out of antidotes and potions.
Cruise: This is bad. If only there was a breakthrough...
Unknown to them, The Trickster Spider pulled the invisible string in thin air, activating a trap as the sound of mechanisms can be heard around the area.
Eizelle: A trap? It's activated without being triggered!
Krud: Hey, look at that thing!
Gennel: Wait...
Krud and Gennel sees a big hole until a boulder came out of it and it was heading
straight towards Cruise's group.
Gennel: This is bad!
Krud: We're going to die!
They all braced themselves, but the boulder was destroyed into multiple pieces and it knocked the Cruise's group away.
Once the dust settled away, Krud looks up and sees You and Fran riding on Urushi's back.
Krud: What...
Fran: Hello there.
(Y/N): We've arrived folks!
Amanda: Looks like we made it.
Krud: Bart! Victor!
Cruise: Miss Amanda!
Eizelle: You guys are okay!
Krud: I was worried about you guys.
Bart: Krad!
Victor: Here, the antidote.
Gennel: Thanks...
Knight: They're gonna eat us!
Everyone looked up to see the members of the Forest Eyes were fully tied up by webbed cocoons.
Elf with the Bow: Up here!
Elf with the Pickaxe Wand: Save us!
(Y/N): Urushi, send those spiders to hell!
Urushi: Woof!
Urushi summons out dark mini-portals and fires dark energy blasts onto the Trick and Trap Spiders causing a huge dark explosion and freeing the Forest Eyes members from being tied up.
The Knight was the first to land on the ground, then Elf with the Pickaxe Wand on him, and the Elf with the Bow lands down on the two.
Fran: Can we use fire?
Teacher: Of course.
Fran: Fire Magic. Burst Flame!
Teacher: Tri-Explosion!
Both Fran and Teacher fired their magic spells onto the Spiders.
Amanda: What magnificent fire magic. Gale Hazard!
Amand fires a large wind tornado onto the Spiders.
(Y/N): My turn! I will have Order!
You then summoned the meteor out of nowhere inside the dungeon as the meteor crushes the Trap and Trick spiders in your area.
Amanda: You can summon a meteor from Earth Magic!?
(Y/N): Yup! Fran can do the same, too!
Krad: How the hell can you use magic when you're in the Fighter class?!
(Y/N): Memes, son!
Cruise: They're strong, alright.
Rig: It's not over for us yet, either.
Eizelle: Right!
Krud: Dragon...
Gennel/Bart/Victor: ...Roar!
White Owl: Good to see you in one piece.
Furion: Tarua. It was a good idea to send you to find help, after all.
Taura: That little black cat girl actually called me a guardian spirit, a "monster".
Furion: Well, please don't take it to heart.
Taura: Hmph! We came to provide assistance. Now, stop lazing about and fight.
Fran: Teacher, Onii-chan, over there!
Fran says as she points at the Trickster Spider who is sitting still on her giant web.
Teacher: (Y/N), is this the Trickster Spider you fought?
(Y/N): Yeah, that's definitely the one! Oh, her abdomen doesn't have a hole anymore. The last time I remember is when I threw a pebble into her abdomen.
Teacher: She must've healed it up somehow.
Fran: Alright. Teacher, please help me take it down!
Teacher: Sure, and we'll gobble up its rare crystal!
Fran: Mm!
Suddenly, the Trickster Spider roars as all of the Spiders around the area fire their webs and it creates a web shield around the Trickster Spider.
Teacher: It wrapped itself in webs!
Fran: Is it going to get away?
Furion: Go, my guardian spirit, Tarua! Inspire everyone!
Taura: Understood. I'll confuse the spiders too!
Taura starts giving buffs and healing everyone just by unleashing green magic water off of its body except for the monsters that were put into a confusion state.
Cruise: We'll take care of the spiderlings! You just concentrate on the Trickster Spider, you two.
Cruise tells you and Fran.
(Y/N): No need. I'll let Fran do the job. I'll join you guys to eliminate the remaining spiders.
Cruise was surprised by your response before giving you a nod in confirmation.
Cruise: Alright everyone, get rid of all the spiders!
Everyone (except Fran): Yeah!!
(Y/N): The Trickster Spider is all yours, Fran!
You said to Fran as you ran off to join everyone to kill the spiderlings.
Fran & Teacher: Flare Blast!
Both Fran and Teacher unleash fire magic beams onto the Trickster Spider's web shield and destroy it easily.
Fran jumps on Urushi's back as Urushi starts jumping towards the enemy with Midair Jump Skill.
Teacher: (Elemental Sword, Fire!)
The Trickster Spider grunts in anger as she starts to command all of the Spiderlings to her aid and surround Fran and Urushi as Fran starts to kill the spiders that were surrounding her and Urushi.
Teacher: It's like a fort of spiders this time!
Fran: Teacher!
Teacher: It's getting away! Guess we have no other choice...We'll have to combine our powers. We're going to take them out with all we've got!
Fran & Teacher: Thunder Magic! Stun Bolt!
Both Fran and Teacher shoot out Thunder Magic, killing all of the spiders that are surrounding them.
After that, they charged straight through toward the Trickster Spider. The Trickster Spider blocks it with her hands, but felt the pain of electricity through her arms and was sent back down to the ground.
Teacher: Thunder Magic is incredible!
System Female Voice: Stun Bolt. The attack does not deal much damage but is able to paralyze targets.
Teacher: I see. If we paralyze an opponent first and damage it with a fire magic attack, we should be able to extend the range of our attacks. Let's practice when we get back!
Fran: Going buzz buzz is great!
Amanda: No way...She can already use thunder magic! (Fran has become stronger!)
Amanda thought to herself with a smile until we see the Trickster Spider getting angry as she unleashes invisible strings from her fingers, creating strong stone waves from the ground that sends Urushi, Fran, and Teacher flying.
Amanda cries out to Fran as she starts to remember that something happened back from her past.
Amanda: (I didn't teach Flamia and Kinan, who wanted to be adventurers, how to fight. I believe that wasn't a path they should go down, and it would shorten their lives. I did it because I wanted them to live...But...my way of protecting them only ended up backfiring...)
(Y/N): Fran, you good!?
Fran: I'm okay!
Teacher: Go for the kill and take its crystal!
Fran: Mm!
Fran continues rushing towards the Trickster Spider while Amanda was talking to herself.
Amanda: There is no way I would let you die, too.
Suddenly, all of you noticed the wind start to change around the area until...
Amanda: Storm Magic: Wind Volteccer!
Amanda then fires a strong tornado toward the Trickster Spider.
Amanda: I will protect Fran!
And just like that, Amanda's Wind Volteccer immediately evaporates the Trickster Spider into pieces.
Everyone was in awe until Teacher spoke up telepathically.
Teacher: Huh? Where's the spider?
System Female Voice: The Trickster Spider has been destroyed along with its crystal.
Fran: Destroyed...
(Y/N): Seriously?
Amanda: Are you alright, Fran~?!
Amanda says with her arms out towards Fran, but she notices that Fran had a disappointed expression.
Teacher: Um...It would've been great if you left the crystal, in fact, just saying...
Fran: You should've let me destroy it.
Amanda: Did...Did I mess things up?
(Y/N): You certainly have, Miss Amanda...
You said with a sweatdrop.
Eizelle: This hole seems to be a passage.
Rig: The core room must be on the other end of it.
Cruise: Alright. Let us advance to our final destination.
Everyone: Yes!/Alright!
...
While heading to the next passage, we see Amanda crying and clinging to Fran.
Amanda: Waaahhh!!! Don't hate me, Fran...
Fran: I don't hate you.
Amanda: Mama will cry if you hate me...
Fran: You're not my mom...
(Y/N): Oh my, oh my...
Teacher: But that storm magic...it's even more powerful than the Greater Demon's advanced magic. As expected...A-ranks are something else indeed...
That's when everyone sees a bright room in front of them as they all entered the bright room.
Everyone looked around to see the area was very big like an arena.
Elf with a Bow: Whoa, look at this area!
Bart: Yeah, this floor feels like an arena!
Cruise: An 8th floor? That's strange. The Spider's Nest dungeon has only seven floors, not eight.
Eizelle: You're not the only one, Cruise.
Furion: Alright, everyone. Let's all stay sharp, who knows what enemy we face on this mysterious 8th floor.
Everyone except (Y/N): Okay!
Everyone slowly walks forward until Teacher spoke up telepathically.
Teacher: Hmm...Why do I have a bad feeling about this floor?
Fran: Why do you think of that, Teacher?
Teacher: I don't know. It's just a feeling.
Amanda: Well, whatever it is. We can take it down, right?
Fran & Teacher: Yeah.
Amanda then notices that you weren't responding.
Amanda: What's wrong, (Y/N)?
(Y/N): Oh, it's nothing.
Amanda: Alright then.
Everyone continues walking slowly until Krad spoke up.
Krad: It's too quiet. Shouldn't there be a monster popping up by now?
Knight: That's what we're thinking. They could be anywhere if we look around.
Cruise: That's a good idea.
Everyone starts to look around their surroundings until they spot something unfamiliar from the ceiling.
Elf with the Pickaxe Wand: Uh, what is that brown thing above us?
Rig: Is that a monster?
Rig questions until the brown creature move its head to look down at everyone and you can notice a big grin on its face.
Victor: I have a feeling that it's gonna attack us right now!
As soon as Victor says that, the brown creature starts dropping itself down to the ground at high speed causing everyone to be flown away from the impact.
Everyone quickly recovered from the surprise ambush until they hear a deep voice coming from the brown creature.
???: Hehehehe! Welcome, my challengers!
Fran: It spoke!
???: Oh my, it would appear that you stepped into my arena!
Furion: Who are you?! Are you responsible for this 8th floor?
Kabuto: Correct! My name is Carnage Kabuto!
(Y/N): (Carnage Kabuto? Where have I heard that before?)
You questioned yourself with a surprised face.
Kabuto: Now then, if you want to get past this floor to get the rewards. You'll have to go through me!
Kabuto says in his deep voice, following up by licking his lips.
Krad: Tch, if you're asking for a fight! It's a fight you're gonna get! Let's go, Dragon's Roar!
Victor, Bart, and Gennel roared as the Dragon's Roar starts charging toward Kabuto.
Krad: Take this!
Krad and his team were about to attack Kabuto with their spears, but they were easily swatted away by his large brown arm.
Everyone was shocked by Kabuto's strength.
Furion: H-He took Krad and his team like nothing!
Cruise: Ggh...I have a feeling that we're fighting a creature that is not in our levels.
That's when the realization hits you about Carnage Kabuto as you start to have a small flashback in your head.
-Flashback to the 14-year-old (Y/N)-
(Y/N): Hey, Mister Genos.
Genos: Hm? What is it?
(Y/N): Do you have any lists of monsters that you and dad fought?
Genos: I do have some. Why is that?
(Y/N): I haven't known a lot of monsters before I was adopted by dad. So I thought I could ask you if you have some records of it.
Genos: Alright then. Here.
Genos then opens his right palm, showing a hologram with every monster that he recorded a few years ago.
(Y/N): Whoa, so many monsters...
Genos: Which one would you like to go for?
(Y/N): Hmm...what about that brown bug monster?
Genos: Ah, this is Carnage Kabuto. He was made by a mad researcher known as Dr. Genus from the House of Evolution that develops cyborgs years ago. He was kept beneath the earth of that house.
(Y/N): I see. Did you and dad fight this "Kabuto" guy?
Genos: I did land a few blows on him, but nothing worked. Therefore, your father was the one who defeated Carnage Kabuto. Not to mention the fact, that he was screaming in anger after killing him because he missed the bargain day in the supermarket. However, he was only four hours away from his bargain day sale.
(Y/N): Hehehe, same old dad...
-Flashback End-
(Y/N): (Oh yeah, that Carnage Kabuto guy! I thought Dad killed him years ago in my home world! But the question is...how the hell is here?)
Amanda: You want strong opponents, eh? Try this one for size!
Kabuto: Oh?
Amanda: Storm Magic, Wind Volteccer!
Amanda fires a strong tornado like she did to the Trickster Spider that she obliterated easily. However...
Kabuto: It's useless!
Kabuto then rushes towards Amanda while blocking the tornado attack with his arms.
Amanda: He can block my magic?!
Kabuto: Idiot!
Once Kabuto got closer to Amanda as he tries to do a roundhouse, but you quickly grabbed Amanda at high speed to avoid the attack.
Amanda: Whoa!
(Y/N): Phew, are you okay?
Amanda: I-I'm fine, thanks.
You nodded as you let go of Amanda and turned back to Kabuto.
Kabuto: You there, boy! I saw how you were fast to save your lady friend! I can tell that you will give Kabuto a great challenge!
(Y/N): That is correct, sir. I shall fight you.
You said with a serious expression.
Kabuto: Okay then, head to the center while your friends will watch us fight.
Kabuto says as you nodded your head in reply.
Cruise: Mister (Y/N). Are you sure you can take down that creature?
(Y/N): Sure as hell.
Knight: How can you be so sure?
(Y/N): I'm positive. Don't worry. I'm sure you haven't seen my strength throughout this whole trip to this dungeon, yeah?
Everyone looked at each other thinking that they will see your true strength during Kabuto's fight except for Fran who already knew beforehand.
(Y/N): Fran. Get the Dragon's Roar healed up, okay?
Fran: *Nods* Mm!
Fran then runs off towards the badly injured Dragon's Roar.
Teacher: Fran? You sure you gonna let (Y/N) handle this?
Fran: Teacher, I know that I'm supposed to be strong to take this fight. But, you saw how that monster does and I'm not strong enough to defeat him. I'll be dead his strength made contact with me. Onii-chan can do that.
Teacher: I...I see. Well, let's leave it to (Y/N), then.
Fran: *Nods* Mm!
You then approached Kabuto and you can see him let out a big grin on his face as if he was excited to fight.
Amanda: (Y/N)?
You then turned to Amanda with a confused expression and she says...
Amanda: Please be careful.
(Y/N): Heh, no need to tell me that.
You said with a smile as you went to the opposite side of where Kabuto was standing.
...
Fran: Circle of Healing!
Fran casts her healing magic on the badly injured Dragon's Roar, restoring them to full health.
Victor: Ugh...
Gennel: What the hell happened...?
Fran: You got knocked away by that guy.
Fran tells them as she points towards Kabuto.
Krad: Damn...his strength is something else...there's no way for us like him to take him down...
Bart: Krad, that boy!
Bart says as he points at you who is standing in front of Kabuto.
Krad: (Y/N)? Is he gonna beat that guy for us?
Fran: *Nods* Mm. Onii-chan's strong. I know it.
Fran says with a serious expression as Krad's group looks at her before turning back to you and Kabuto staring at each other.
Krad: Ngh...let's see what (Y/N) got against him...
...
The adventurers who were watching the fight from the sidelines were feeling tense between you and Kabuto.
Kabuto: Are you ready, boy?
(Y/N): Yup, I'm ready alright.
Kabuto grins as he starts to run around at high speed while laughing until he appears behind you.
Eizelle: (Damn, that guy's fast! Our eyes couldn't know where he is moving at!)
Kabuto was ready to punch you, but he felt something from you as he flew back off out of fear.
Everyone was confused about what Kabuto was doing.
(Y/N): Hey, what's wrong? Aren't gonna fight me or something?
Amanda: What is he doing?
Elf with a Bow: I don't know. Why did he back off from (Y/N)?
Kabuto: (If I'd attacked him just now, he'd have killed me! Who the hell is this boy?! He's leaving himself wide open yet all my instincts are screaming, sending out danger signals!)
Kabuto thought to himself as he looks at you with a scared expression.
(Y/N): (How odd. Was he not reminded that he once lost to my dad? No, Kabuto never met me before I was adopted by my dad. Is this Carnage Kabuto created by the God of Chaos?)
Kabuto: You brat!! How the hell did you get that strong?!
Kabuto questioned you in fear while you only gave him a blank stare.
(Y/N): (Yeah. This Kabuto is definitely created by the God of Chaos, but I'm just jumping to conclusions. Can't know the answer just yet.)
You thought to yourself before making a serious face.
(Y/N): Okay then. You want to know how I got strong? Very well.
Everyone's eyes widen as they were about to hear how you got strong.
(Y/N): Everyone, you should all listen well, except for you Fran because you already knew.
Fran nodded in response.
Amanda: He's going to tell us about his strength?
Cruise: The boy's power is about to be revealed...
Rig: It's better if we all listen, then...
Everyone stayed silent as they hear you speak up.
(Y/N): Now then, what you gotta do is have to full commitment to this dangerous training regimen.
Victor: Training?
Krad: That kid's power comes from training?
Kabuto: (What training?)
(Y/N): I'm not the only one who obtained this godly strength. My father has it, too.
Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing that.
Knight: Your father...
Elf with a Pickaxe Wand: ...has the same strength as yours?
(Y/N): Correct. My father easily eliminates monsters with just a single punch and other godly abilities he wields. I thought to myself that I'm going to be a burden if my father keeps protecting me. And what I did next... I did his training regiment so I can be like him! Now, the dangerous training regiment that you will obtain this immense strength just has to keep doing it. I started off this training at the age of 15 and it took me three years to get this strong just like my father had. All you people gotta do...is do One hundred push-ups! One hundred sit-ups! One hundred squats! Then do a ten-kilometer run. Every. Single. Day!
Everyone's eyes widened even more as you continued explaining your training.
(Y/N): During your training, you have to eat at least three meals a day. Next, you should never be in the warm or cold in the summer or winter so you can strengthen your mind. At first, you'd be wishing that you were dead. You might honestly start thinking of what can go wrong with taking a day off. To me, in order to become a strong adventurer, no matter how tough it was, even if I was spitting blood...I always keep doing squatting, push-ups, and sit-ups to the point that they were getting sorer and refusing me to move, but I never stopped. A year and a half later, you might notice something different about yourself. You wouldn't have hair because you were bald and you become stronger! If any one of you is asking "Why are you not bald?", I was lucky to keep my hair through my training. Being bald is okay nonetheless. You gotta train like hell to the point where your hair either falls out or not. That is the only way to obtain this godly strength. I've already broken my own limits as a human during my dangerous training with my father. Human beings like us are strong because we have the ability to change ourselves!
Cruise: (Wh-What?)
Kabuto: (This kid...is he for real?)
Krad: (There's no way he's serious!)
(Y/N): I know it sounds crazy that you are gonna start telling me that it was just normal training. Whether you guys believe me or not, it's true, nothing else. And if I was joking about it, I would've done it already (except for the fact that I lied to Klimt that I got my strength from Memes).
Everyone was speechless at what they had just heard until...
Kabuto: Is that so?
Kabuto spoke up and it alarmed everyone as they all see that his brown skin suddenly starts building.
Kabuto: Very well. If that's what you're going to give us...so be it.
Rig: What the hell is doing!?
Kabuto: I bet you aren't stronger than me anyway!
Kabuto then starts growing as his brown skin starts turning purple with glowing green lines around his body.
Kabuto: But, since you pissed me off, I'm gonna annihilate you.
Kabuto then finishes his transformation and yells out...
Kabuto: Carnage Mode!! When I get like this, I lose control for a whole week and my lust for death cannot be quelled! After I kill you all, I'll head into town and go on a killing rampage until next Saturday!
Upon hearing that made everyone's faces went "Oh shit! Is he fucking serious?!?!"
Kabuto; If you are indeed a strong adventurer, then try and stop me!
(Y/N): Okay.
Kabuto: UWAAHHHH!!!!!
Fran: Onii-chan!!
Teacher: (Y/N)!!
Kabuto then goes ready to punch you in the face, but you easily dodged his punch as you pulled your right fist back and said...
(Y/N): Sorry to ruin your fun, but...
You then punched Kabuto's body and your punch destroy the upper half of his body with all of his guts, intestines, and green blood flying out of them.
(Y/N): The fight has already decided its winner...
You said with a bored expression as all of the remains of Carnage Kabuto fell to the ground.
You let out a sigh before turning to the others who had awed expressions on their faces.
(Y/N): What? I did you all a favor. Come on, let's head to the next room so we can get the rewards.
You tell them with a plain expression as you start to head to the next door.
Krad: Holy shit...
Elf with a Bow: Was that his strength...?
Furion: I can't believe it...
Everyone started questioning to themselves what they had just witnessed until Cruise talked to Fran.
Cruise: Miss Fran.
Fran: Hm?
Cruise: Is (Y/N) always like that?
Fran: *Nods* Mm. Onii-chan's not a bad person. He just wants to fight someone stronger at his level.
Fran says with a stoic expression as she and Teacher take their leave to follow you to the next room.
Rig: Amanda.
Amanda: Yes?
Rig: I'm quite worried if that boy is going to turn on us someday. Are you thinking the same thing as we are?
Amanda thinks for a moment before speaking up.
Amanda: You might be right. (Y/N)'s strength can also destroy everything he wants to, but we're just glad that he's on the good side. If he was a bad guy, we'd be dead already.
Rig: Hmm...I guess I'll believe that for the time being...
Cruise: Since he defeated Carnage Kabuto for us. I think he's gonna be ranking up to the D rank with Fran.
Furion: *Nods* Mm.
-Mini Time Skip-
Later on, all of you arrived in the next area, and around everyone was a lot of crystals and the dungeon core in the middle.
Bart: Whoa!!
Victor: It's a treasure trove!
Elf with a Pickaxe Wand: I didn't expect to be so many crystals here!
Elf with a Bow: Are we supposed to collect all of these?
Knight: How dazzling!
Cruise: Everyone, please put them into the bags we distributed. And remember, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. The guild and the country will take action regarding any leakage of information.
Everyone: Yes/Roger.
Cruise: Keep your lips sealed, and don't try to sneak any into your clothes.
Krad: As if I would!
Eizelle: The dungeon settings didn't change so that only Trap Spiders are supposed to spawn. Cruise.
Cruise: What caused all of this, then?
Amanda: Maybe it's Carnage Kabuto who's done all of this mess?
Cruise: It could be possible. Should we clear the dungeon of all evolved forms?
Amanda: It's not good to have the mana source reduced too much, either. Let's leave it to the guild master to decide.
Cruise: Alright.
You then hear footsteps behind you and Fran as you turned around to see Krad who seemed a little shy.
Fran: Need something?
Krad: Um...Well...I...Um...Thank you for saving my party members...Someone who can ride such a huge wolf is no opponent of mine...
(Y/N): Heh, you're welcome.
Krad: So uh...does this mean we're cool?
Fran: "We're cool?"
(Y/N): What Krad means by that is that we're good friends now.
Fran: Oh, okay. We're cool.
Krad nodded his head in reply with a thumb up.
-Mini Time Skip-
Later, everyone exited the Spider's Nest dungeon. You, Fran, Teacher, and Amanda were sitting with each other at the back while the others were talking with each other.
Amanda: Black Cats that evolved?
Fran: *Nods* Mm. Do you know any?
Amanda: So that is your aim as well...
(Y/N): "As well?" I guess that means Fran is not alone with that objective.
Amanda: Yes. A few Black Kittens I knew said the same thing once.
Fran: Did they manage to evolve?
Amanda: They've gone to the other world now...
Fran: Oh...
(Y/N): Damn...that sucks...
Amanda: Fran, I support you...but you must never push yourself too far.
Fran: *Nods* MM.
Amanda: And (Y/N), please treat her well.
(Y/N): I will.
Teacher: (Amanda genuinely cares about Fran...In any case, that's a wrap for Fran and (Y/N)'s first party dungeon quest.)
-The Next Day-
So right now, (Y/N), Fran, and Teacher were at the Guild Master's office for a report.
Klimt: You're certainly an attention magnet. This time, you've got yourselves a C-rank familiar. Nevertheless, you completed the request. Good work.
Fran: *Nods* Mm. But I also failed. I didn't manage to do much. Thanks to Onii-chan...
Fran says as she glances at you with a disappointed expression.
(Y/N): Ehehehe...Forgive me...
You said awkwardly while scratching the back of your head.
Klimt: That's okay. However, Fran was lucky to be teleported safely from the trap, summoned a familiar, and saved your companions...That is more than enough to prove your capabilities.
Teacher: (After this mission, the guild master should be cleared of favoritism.)
Klimt: And for you, Mister (Y/N). Since you defeated an unknown monster named Carnage Kabuto and saved everyone. I will promote you to the D-rank. Please head to the reception desk to complete your rank advancement paperwork.
(Y/N): Thank you, sir!
You said with a grateful bow.
Klimt: You're welcome.
Fran: Guess that means you're in the same rank as me, Onii-chan.
(Y/N): Yup.
Klimt: Anyways, I will issue you two the permit to access Ulmutt's dungeon.
Fran: Thank you, Guild Master!
Klim: Also, do check your classes before you two leave.
(Y/N): You got it.
Klimt: When do you two plan on leaving Alessa?
You and Fran looked at each other until Fran spoke up.
Fran: Tomorrow or the day after.
Klimt: I see. It's going to get a little lonely without you two here.
Fran: Huh? You're relieved, aren't you?
Klimt: Oh, you noticed? But I was sincere when I said I would feel lonely.
(Y/N) & Fran: Thank you for everything, Guild Master.
You, Fran, and Urushi did a bow after thanking Klimt.
Klim: You're welcome.
...
Nell: Amazing, you two! You both can already qualify for a class change!
You and Fran nodded in response.
Nell: Now, please place your hand on the crystal.
Fran: I'll go first.
Fran places her hand on the crystal until they hear the system female voice speak up.
System Female Voice: User, Fran, your class has been changed to Sword Magus.
Fran: Fran is now a Sword Magus!
Nell: Congratulations!
(Y/N): Now, it's my turn.
System Female Voice: User, (Y/N), your class has been changed to Mage Fighter.
(Y/N): I can now finally use magic spells as a Fighter!
Fran: Hooray!
-Time Skip and With (Y/N)-
After getting the rewards and Nell congratulated you for reaching the D-Rank. Fran was heading to Garrus's workshop to get some new equipment while you were heading off to Aria's shop.
(Y/N): Aria, are you in here?
You asked while entering her shop and you see her sleeping on her desk until she woke up and sees you.
Aria: Ah, welcome back, (Y/N). How was the dungeon party?
(Y/N): It's all good. Plus, I got promoted to the D-rank and my class changed to Mage Fighter.
Aria: Ooh, that's pretty good. You can pretty much use spells while using your limbs to fight, right?
(Y/N): *Nods* Definitely.
Aria: I see. Since you already finish your dungeon quest with Fran, what are you two going to do now?
(Y/N): Well, we're heading off to Ulmutt by tomorrow or the day after.
Aria: Huh, I guess that means we won't be seeing each other again...
Aria says with a sad tone in her voice.
(Y/N): Yeah, but we'll come again someday to Alessa just for a visit.
Aria: If you say so. Oh, before you head off by tomorrow, I want to give you something.
(Y/N): What is it?
You asked curiously as Aria gets off her chair and walks towards you. She then opened her right palm, revealing a light orb.
Aria then blows the light orb towards you as it absorbs into your body and you felt something awakened inside of you until you hear...
System Female Voice: (Y/N) has obtained a copy of a skill, Clothes Beam.
(Y/N): Wait, what? You're giving me a copy of your Clothes Beam skill?
Aria: Yeah. You said that you and Fran are planning to leave Ulmutt, right? I had to give you a copy of my skill so your hero clothes wouldn't get destroyed every single time by someone.
(Y/N): Ah, okay. That makes a good point. Thanks for the skill, Aria. And I'm grateful that I met someone like you from Japan.
Aria: You're welcome. You can head out now. I've got business to attend to.
You nodded in reply as you left Aria's store.
Aria: *Sigh* I guess things will be lonely without him. If (Y/N)'s happy to go on adventures with Fran, I'm happy.
Aria says with a smile before sleeping back at her desk.
-With Fran-
Fran: We're here!
Garrus: Ah, I've been waiting for you.
Teacher: Is everything ready?
Garrus: It's my greatest masterpiece. Go ahead and put it on.
Fran then changes her clothes in the changing room for a few minutes until she came out wearing a different outfit than her usual white dress outfit.
Teacher: Fran looks wonderful no matter what she wears.
Garrus: I call this the Black Cat Series. Rejoice. It's a full set of named items.
Fran: Okay.
Teacher: Just one thing, Garrus...
Garrus: Hm?
Teacher: Her belly button! Her belly button is being exposed!
Teacher then starts grabbing the collar of Garrus's shirt and shakes him.
Teacher: What is the meaning of this?!?!
Garrus: Lots of beastkin, especially cats, prefer lighter equipment. Some prefer feeling the wind against their skin, and others dislike heavy equipment that restrains their movements.
Teacher: Is that so?
Fran: Mm! *Spins around* This feels much more comfortable and easier to move than the dress armor!
Teacher: But if your belly takes damage...
Garrus: That's where the "protection' comes into effect.
Garrus then starts swinging his mallet toward Fran's stomach but was blocked by an invisible shield.
Garrus staggered back from the recoil of the shield before speaking up.
Garrus: Just like that, it can repel some attacks.
Fran: true. That didn't hurt at all!
Garrus: Besides, if the attack is strong enough to penetrate this protection, then it'll surely damage high-ranked heavy armor as well.
Teacher: I see. So it's better for Fran to be agile and nimble instead.
Garrus: This Black Cat Armor will not only provide her protection and boost her stats, but it also blocks instant deaths. It's an effect that only applies to Black Cats.
Teacher: Being able to block instant deaths is a big deal. It's the perfect set of specialized equipment for Fran!
Fran: Fran's specialized equipment!
Teacher: This is great, Fran!
Fran: Mm! Thank you, Garrus!
Garrus: Not at all. I haven't had this much fun working on a piece for a long time.
Garrus says until they hear a familiar voice from outside of Garrus's workshop.
???: Fran, are you in here?
It was the voice of (Y/N).
Fran: Ah, we're in here, Onii-chan.
You then entered Garrus's workshop and see Fran wearing her full Black Cat Series armor.
(Y/N): Ooh, that's a pretty good outfit. Seems fitting for an agile adventurer.
Fran: *Nods* Mm. It suits me, doesn't it?
(Y/N): Definitely. *Turns to Garrus* Did you make this armor for Fran, Old-Timer?
Garrus: Sure did, young one.
Teacher: Anyways, have you finished doing business with Aria?
(Y/N): We already did. Plus, she gave me a copy of her skill which is Clothes Beam as a parting gift.
Teacher: I see.
Garrus: So, you guys are headed to Ulmutt next?
Teacher: Yup.
Garrus: Actually, I was thinking of moving to Ulmutt, too.
Fran: Really? Why don't you come with us, Garrus?
Garrus: But you'll be taking the sear route, right?
Teacher: Yes. I wanted to show Fran the sea.
Garrus: Dwarves are mountain dwellers. We can't swim, so I'll be taking the land route.
(Y/N): So does that mean we'll be ahead of you since you're going on the land route?
Garrus: That's right. Come and find me once you get there.
Fran: Got it.
Teacher: See you in Ulmutt, then.
Garrus: *Nods* Mm.
-At Saber-Tooth Shop-
We see Rufus who was cleaning the table of his shop when he hears the door open and a familiar voice spoke up.
???: Have you been well, Rufus?
Rufus turns around to see Amanda coming in.
Rufus: Oh, Amanda. Haven't seen you in a while. What's up?
Amanda: Just dropping by to check on my graduate. How's business? Better nowadays?
Rufus: That's rude. A Black Cat girl carrying a sword and a boy with a cape came by and bought a bunch of spices and cutlery.
Amanda: That's Fran and (Y/N).
Rufus: You know those two? As expected of the Guardian of Children, Amanda.
Amanda giggles at Rufus's praise.
Rufus: Whenever I see them, I'm reminded of those two troublemakers.
Amanda: Indeed. After leaving the orphanage, they only came back once to deliver some news before leaving for another journey again. I only found out about their passing quite a while after. I left and tried my best to track them, but I couldn't even find anything that belonged to them. I cursed myself for my uselessness and was filled with regret. If only I had taught them how to fight properly. If I only had sent them off proudly with a smile...
Amand then continues reminiscing about the past with Rufus.
-Mini Time Skip-
Amanda: See you. I'll come again
Rufus: Sure.
While Amanda was walking by herself, she had a flashback of Flamia saying something to her in the past before the Black Kittens were killed.
Flamia: Amanda is...
-The Next Day-
So right now, today was the day that You, Fran, and Teacher leaving for Alessa with Urushi.
You and Fran looked back to see everyone smiling at you two at your departure for another adventure.
Nell was the first to speak up to you two and said...
Nell: I'll be waiting for you two behind the reception. Make sure you two visit me whenever you both come back! You have to!
(Y/N): Don't worry, we'll come back to this place someday if we want to. Right, Fran?
Fran: *Nods* Mm. Take Care, Nell.
Donadrond was the send to speak up.
Donadrond: Embarking on an adventure is a dangerous task. Whenever you two are in trouble, remember to recite the adventurers' 100 golden rules!
Fran: Impossible.
Donadrond: What?
Guardsman: Fran...(Y/N)...We're going to miss you two.
Randell: Stop by my shop if you come back to Alessa.
Dwarf Warrior: *Thumb up* Take care of yourselves, kids.
Cruise: We'll train harder, so we don't lose to you.
Eizelle: Be wary of traps along your way.
(Y/N): *Nods with a smile* Mm.
Fran: Thank you, everyone.
???: Hey!
You and Fran looked up to see Krad and his friends holding their spears from above.
Krad/Bart/Victor/Gennel: Safe travels!
Krad: Yo Fran! I'll be sure to take you down next once you come back, okay?
Fran: Not a chance.
Krad: What did you just say?!
Teacher: (Fran has made lots of friends...even (Y/N) as her own big-brother figure. This makes me happy.)
That's when you and Fran see Amanda coming towards you two.
Fran: Amanda.
Amanda: Hm?
Fran: When I come back, I'll be stronger than ever. I won't lose to you.
Fran tells her as Amanda makes a sad face that can be noticed by you and Fran.
(Y/N): Something the matter?
Amanda: No, it's nothing. I'll be looking forward to a stronger Fran.
Fran: *Nods* Mm.
Amanda: Teacher, (Y/N), I'll leave Fran in your care.
Teacher: No problem.
(Y/N): Hoho, we'll take good care of her.
Amanda: Fran isn't alone, after all.
Fran: Mm. I'll always have Teacher and Onii-chan with me.
Amanda: Ehe, that makes me a little jealous, but...I'm really glad.
Aria: Hey (Y/N), Fran.
(Y/N): Oh?
Both you and Fran turned to see Aria who is carrying a paper bag in her left hand.
Aria: Here, take this.
Aria hands you the paper bag and you knew what she was giving you two.
(Y/N): Are these the sandwiches you made for us?
Aria: Yup. Take this as another parting gift from me.
Aria says with a smile on her face until Fran spoke up.
Fran: Wait, aren't you Aria that Onii-chan talked about?
Aria: That's me, and I've seen your face around a few times in Alessa.
Fran: Oh, okay.
Fran says while Aria gives her a nod in reply.
Aria: Good luck on your travels, you two.
(Y/N): *Nods* We will.
And now, you and Fran got up and rode on Urushi's back.
Fran: Then, we're going.
Teacher: Hmph...
(Y/N): Something wrong, Teach?
Teacher: Nothing...Fran never did call Amanda "Mama" back when (Y/N) fought her with a deal. Amanda already lost to (Y/N) so you wouldn't call her "Mama".
(Y/N): Oh...that.
Fran: My mother and Amanda are different.
Teacher: I see.
Fran: Although Amanda lost so I'll just say this once...
(Y/N): Go ahead, then.
Fran: Mm.
Fran turns around and said...
Fran: Bye, Mamanda!
Hearing that made Amanda's eyes widen in shock as she starts to remember what Familia said to her in the past.
...
Amanda: What is it?
Flamia: Amanda is everyone's Mamanda...
...
We then change to the scene of two figures towards the future. And those two figures are Fran's parents known as Flamia and Kinan.
Flamia: We have news to share, Amanda.
Kinan: We've decided to combine our names...
Flamia: ...and name this child, Fran. Will you give us your blessings?
...
After the flashback ends...we see (Y/N), Fran, Teacher, and Urushi set off to Ulmutt while also hearing the adventurer's in Alessa started waving goodbye and saying other farewell words.
Amanda: (Kinan, Flamia...The precious child you left behind, Fran...is living wonderfully. Please watch over her.) Take care, kids!
-At the Guild Master's Office-
Klimt: Good work on the undercover job.
Klimt says to someone as we turned to see a familiar face entering the Guild Master's office.
Furion: There were several close calls where I almost died, Uncle.
Klimt: Now, now, if you must blame someone, blame August Allsand. The adventurer we arrested confessed to working for him and using evolution points on the spiders.
Furion: That's rare. The Reidos in the north must've instigated this.
Klimt: It is likely.
Furion: Viscount Allsand colluded with the Reidos to snatch the rights to the dungeon from us, huh?
Klimt: A shameless man indeed. Regarding the other task, what does your guardian spirit think of Miss Fran?
Klimt asked as Furion extends his right arm out and said...
Furion: Guardian Spirit, Tarua!
Furion summons Taura as the white owl appeared in his right arm.
Taura: From what I can tell, Fran does not harbor any evil in her heart. She appears curious about everything and often talks to herself, but I do not sense any malicious intentions.
Klimt: So she is unlikely to be a spy sent from Reidos.
Furion: She is abnormally strong and growing at an unusually fast speed. She will make a formidable enemy if she turns against us.
Klimt: But I've had enough of being suspicious and making speculations. She's just an extraordinary Black Cat. Let's leave it at that.
Furion: But anyway, Taura, what do you also think of (Y/N)?
Taura: I can't say for sure. That boy is a human being that broke his limits that he will reach through the gods and other beings of this world. A boy with such godly power that he can take down no matter what opponent he faces.
Klimt: Hm...I see.
Furion: You know...
Klimt: What?
Furion: I sometimes think that boy is from another world somewhere.
Klimt: Really?
Furion: It's possible that he was sent here in this world unknowingly. We won't know for sure what's the cause of it.
Klimt: Alright then...
-Back to (Y/N)'s Group-
Teacher: I wonder what awaits us on this adventure?
Fran: As long as I have Urushi, Teacher, and Onii-chan with me, we can handle anything!
Urushi: Woof! Woof!
(Y/N): Ehehe! No matter what danger we face, we can take them down!
Teacher: You're right.
You then look up to the sky and thought to yourself.
(Y/N): (Dad...I'm sure you're worried about where I am now. Don't worry, I'll be in this world with Fran and Teacher as my friends. I hope you and everyone else live normally and fight monsters without me. Alessa was the warm-up of my beginning as an adventurer. And now, the start of my journey of making Fran evolve in the future with Teacher's help begins!)

-Epilogue-
Somewhere around in the continents of the world, we see Fran riding on Teacher's blade body like a flying surfboard.
Fran: We're flying!
Teacher: Yeehaw!! This is the Telekinesis Air Ride!
(Y/N): Wait up for me, you two!
Both Fran and Teacher turned to their left as they see you catching up to them with Midair Jump skill at immense speed.
Fran: Whoa! You're so fast using that skill, Onii-chan!
(Y/N): Hehehe! We're heading up to the Floating Island above us, right?!
Teacher: Yup! Let's head up, you two!
The three of you were about to reach the Floating Island when everyone sees a flying undead knight riding on an undead horse in the air.
(Y/N): Who the heck are you?!
The undead knight gives no answer as he goes for a slash attack toward Fran and it caused an explosion in the air causing the three of you to fall toward a lone house from below.
Upon landing down on the house, (Y/N), Fran, and Teacher heard an evil laugh as they looked in front of them to see a mage holding a staff with a purple gem attached to it.
Jean: I am Jean du Vix, a supreme necromancer in pursuit of the highest order of dark sorcery!
Fran: Huh?
Teacher: Who is this guy?
(Y/N): Dunno, let's just kick his ass.
...
(A/N: That's that! Stay tuned for another book!)
