Two hours after the chaotic battlefield match…
After that legendary ass-whooping, I headed back to class. Teacher was yapping, but my focus was elsewhere... Kiba. Dude looked like he was simultaneously planning a revenge arc and crying internally. Scary stuff.
MC (thinking): "Hope this works..."
School ends. I zoom out of that class like the Flash and shout—
MC: "YO, KIBS!"
Kiba turns around.
Kiba (dead inside): "...What?"
Okay damn. That tone was chillier than an ice demon with emotional trauma.
MC (smiling nervously): "I need to talk to ya. Spare me a few minutes, man?"
Kiba stares at me. I swear, I heard boss battle music. Then he nods. We start walking.
MC (thinking): "Shhii... this MF is scary right now. His aura screams 'I've seen things.'"
After a few minutes, we pass by the courtyard, and—bingo! There she is.
MC: "Yo, Koneko!"
She turns her head like a suspicious cat.
Koneko: "What?"
She spots Kiba and raises a brow, clearly concerned.
MC (thinking): "For someone who acts like she doesn't care, she's kinda sweet... probably hides cookies in her sleeves."
MC: "Hey, can you help me with something real quick?"
Koneko: "What do you need?"
MC: "Wanna show Kiba something, and I need you to assist."
She glances at Kiba, then nods.
MC (grinning): "Great! To the back of the school we go, warriors!"
We arrive at the deserted back courtyard.
MC: "Koneko, stand here. Kiba, watch closely. This will be legendary."
MC: "Okay Koneko, now punch my stom—"
BOOM.
I don't even finish my sentence. She gut-checks me so hard, my ancestors felt it.
MC: "UUUGHHH!"
I collapse on the ground.
MC (twitching): "Damn... that hurt like taxes."
Kiba blinks.
Kiba: "What are you planning?"
MC (wheezing): "Give me... a sec..."
I rise, barely, like a zombie on vacation. Koneko just smirks.
MC (thinking): "Smug little muffin... oh you're gonna regret that."
MC: "Alright. Hit me again."
Kiba and Koneko (together): "What?!"
Koneko: "Are you... a masochist?"
MC: "HELL NO. Just do it."
She squints at me like I owe her money but does it again.
WHAM!
This time, I don't even budge.
Koneko: "Huh?"
Suddenly she winces.
Koneko: "Owowowowow!! My hand!"
She jumps back, waving her hand like she just punched a steel wall.
MC (grinning): "Not so smug now, huh?"
I was mocking her, as I laughed
Suddenly—
Koneko (POW): "DON'T GET COCKY!"
Uppercut. I go airborne like a Looney Tune.
Moments later, I'm sitting next to Kiba, chin swollen like a balloon animal.
MC: "So… did you see what I did there?"
Kiba: "...No."
MC: "It's a technique that lets you harden your body and weapons. Like armor, but cooler. I call it... Haki."
Kiba and Koneko both look at me like I just summoned Excalibur.
Koneko: "So you came here just to flex?"
MC: "Nah. I wanna teach Kiba."
Kiba: "...You're gonna teach me?"
MC: "Yep."
Kiba (shocked): "Why...?"
MC (grinning): "Because you're my friend."
Kiba's eyes widen. He starts to shake slightly. I see a tear sneak out.
He wipes his face and smiles.
Kiba: "...Thank you."
MC (patting his back): "No problem, my G."
Koneko (softly): "You're not bad. For a weirdo."
MC (smiling): "Aww, you do care."
Training Arc: 3 Days Later
Kiba's been grinding like a Souls player in New Game+. I'm watching him from a shady tree.
MC: "C'mon dude… almost there."
Suddenly, it happens.
Kiba's arm turns black. His sword glows like it's dipped in spiritual Monster Energy.
MC: "YOU DID IT!"
Kiba: "I DID IT!"
He leap up.
Kiba: "I. DID. ITTTTT!!"
I leap up too.
MC: "HELLS YA DUDE!!"
Then we jumped at the same time.
We bro-hug like it's the end of a sports anime.
Then Kiba faints mid-hug.
MC (catching him): "Bro? You good? Bro??"
He's out cold, but smiling.
MC (grinning): "Damn right you are."
I give him a piggyback ride, then pause.
MC: "Wait... where does this MF even live?"
I think real hard.
MC: "C'mon brain… you read the manga. Where's his dorm? WHERE?!"
Nothing.
MC: "Screw it. You're crashing at my place, bro. (As friends.)"
I toss him gently on my bed like he's a sacred sword. I sit on the couch, exhausted.
MC (thinking): "He did it. And me too. You think I just sat there like a bum while he trained? Nah. I was grinding too."
I stretch, then breathe in. Suddenly, pink aura envelops me. Advanced Armament Haki.
MC (smiling): "Hells. Freakin'. Ya."
I lay down. The world fades to black. My thoughts?
MC: "Day 3 of Operation Kiba Glow-Up: Complete... not like he needed it."
Scene: A few days later, in front of the school gates
The sun was doing its thing—warm, golden, peaceful. I was chilling outside the school gates, soaking it in like I was getting paid for it.
MC (thinking): "Nice day... but boring as hell."
Suddenly, the squad pulls up.
Enter: Issei, Koneko, Asia (aka: The beautiful angel), Kiba... and wait—Saji?
MC (thinking): "Huh? Saji? Ohhh right. Forgot that dude tags along sometimes in the manga."
Issei walks up with the swagger of a man who just discovered a new pair of oppai.
Issei: "YO, LEV! My bro!"
MC (grinning): "What's up, Hentai King?"
Cue reactions:
Kiba bites his lip, looking away.
Koneko snorts.
Saji starts laughing like a madman.
Asia is physically trembling from trying not to giggle.
Issei (deadpan): "...I don't like that nickname."
MC (grinning wider): "Too bad. That's yours now. Trademark pending."
They stare at each other like two anime rivals about to clash over snack rights.
Issei (sighing): "Okay, I'll deal with that emotional trauma later. For now... let's go."
MC (thinking): "Didn't even ask where. Didn't need to. I read the manga. I knew."
After a few hours the fight had begun.
MC is chilling, casually perched on a rooftop like a low-budget Batman.
Below, chaos.
Kiba, Issei, and Saji are in the middle of an intense fight against one of the most stubborn cockroaches in fiction.
Freed. That greasy, anime-wannabe psychopath. I've whooped his ass twice already, and he keeps crawling back like expired leftovers.
Freed is laughing like the Joker with caffeine withdrawal.
Freed (mocking): "You really think you can stop me? I'm built different, baby!"
He lunges at Kiba.
Now in the manga, this is where Kiba's sword should've broken like a cheap chopstick... but not this time.
Kiba's sword turns black—shimmering with Armament Haki.
Freed (blinking): "HUH?!"
Kiba (calmly): "Not today, freak."
CLANG! He blocks Freed's strike.
Freed tries to retreat like a rat after seeing a slipper, but—
Saji (grinning): "Nope. Stay put, freak."
Saji activates his Sacred Gear and locks Freed in place.
MC (stretching on the rooftop): "Aaaand now... showtime."
Kiba (yelling): "HRAAAHH!"
SLASH!
Freed is cut deep. He coughs blood like he just ate spicy ramen with a side of disrespect.
Freed: "GHHH—YOU LITTLE—!"
Before he can spit another insult, things get... weird.
A man steps into the battlefield. Pale robes. Creepy aura. Looks like someone photoshopped a pope onto a haunted doll.
MC (thinking): "Oh great. Boss battle music intensifies."
Kiba (furious): "VALPER GALILEI!"
Valper smirks like a man who reads villain quotes off fortune cookies.
Valper: "How pathetic. Beaten by mere devils."
Then—POOF! Dude vanishes like a plot hole.
Xenovia and Irina appear, weapons drawn.
Xenovia: "STOP HIM!"
Irina: "He got away again—dammit!"
Kiba clenches his fists. Xenovia cured. Issei looks like he just saw a man steal his entire harem.
Then someone speaks.
Saji (confused): "Um... guys?"
Saji(looking around): "Where's Levi?"
They all stop.
Pan around.
Empty rooftop.
Kiba: "He was literally just there—"
Meanwhile - Unknown Location
Valper is in a dark room with evil villain lighting.
Valper (smirking): "Time to set my plans in motion..."
Knock knock.
Valper: "Who the hell—?"
He opens the door.
MC (grinning like a demon with a secret): "Fouuund youuuu~~"
Valper's eyes widened, then screamed so Loud he sounded like a girl.
Valper(Screaming):AHHHHHH!!!"
