First Date
Humans are simple, They get attached to other people's so easily. But this attachment is a grave weakness of any tough man/women.
I also wanted to become a man with much less weaknesses possible, So in middle school and high school,I was friendly with almost everyone but I didn't let me get attached to someone.
You just have to prove your talent, Don't let anyone underestimate you and keep your distance without making them hate you, easy-peasy.
In my life there's only two person with whom I attached to, First was my mother but she is already dead and second is my best friend Aoto Takahashi. My best friend has many girlfriends, so to say more than 10 but I never really tried to get a girlfriend because a women is a greatest threat to a healthy and Manly man.(That's what my mother told me)
"Then....then why the hell am i on a date with introvert-chan Aaaaaaa!".exclaimed inwardly, grappling with the unfamiliar emotions stirring beneath his carefully constructed facade.
"How did this come to this?."
1 Weeks Ago....
"Then I'll start a 12-hour lesson on how to make girls fall in love with you," Aoto declared playfully.Despite the absurdity of the notion, I indulged him, knowing well that my body don't need to sleep and that would allow me to endure the marathon session without issue.
And after that he lectured me all night and I don't need to sleep so I didn't had any problem with that. After that as always in we went to attend classes.
That day, our curriculum diverged from the arcane arts to the martial, as we were summoned to the weapons class. The air crackled with anticipation as our instructors briefed us on the importance of selecting a weapon for future battles. Swords and katanas were the popular choices among students including me, but when the question of my preference arose.
"And what you think I chose?"
"Nothing", Yep! I chose fucking nothing.
Because that motherfucker instructor told me to not choose any weaopn.
"Why?" I asked him this same question.
His response was both unexpected and unsettling. "Because you're just too powerful," he explained matter-of-factly. "Even the weakest of swords in your hands would wreak havoc. Your strength is such that a single swing could cleave the academy building in two."
In that moment, the weight of my own abilities bore down upon me, a stark reminder of the isolation that came with unparalleled power.
With the weapon training sessions scheduled to span a week, I found myself with an abundance of free time on my hands. While Aoto and the others threw themselves into rigorous training, honing their skills with unwavering determination, I observed from the sidelines, a silent spectator to their efforts.
In this world for leveling up,you don't really have to kill monsters. You can get exp. points to increase your level by strengthening your body and learning techniques However, it was widely acknowledged that engaging in actual combat provided the fastest route to advancement.
Aoto had already reached Level 14, a testament to his dedication and relentless pursuit of improvement. Inspired by his example, I devoted myself to self-improvement, immersing myself in study day and night, I don't need to sleep so it was kinda plus point for me, allowing me to dedicate countless hours to mastering various magical techniques, of course they are all related to fire.
I explored academy and also learned many things about this world like, This planet is 300 times bigger that earth.Talk about, we are living on a fucking jupiter.
The kingdom of Darwitz, where the academy stood, was itself vast beyond comprehension, eclipsing the entirety of Earth in sheer expanse. The enormity of this revelation struck me like a thunderbolt, leaving me muttering expletives under my breath. Four other kingdoms, just like Darwitz but I don't know who is most powerful because they are almost equal in every prospect.
I heeded Aoto's advice and made a concerted effort to engage with introvert-chan. To my surprise, her reserved demeanor began to thaw, replaced by a tentative warmth as our interactions grew more frequent.
It was almost a week in and students should not don't get bored living in academy everyday, because of this they are given a holiday every week.allowing us to recharge and rejuvenate before diving back into our relentless pursuit of mastery.
Aoto had many works to do so he can't come with me for exploring city.
It was during one such moment of freedom that I found myself casually suggesting to Irish the idea of spending our upcoming holiday together. I just casually said Irish to check my luck that, "Tomorrow is a holiday so should we go out somewhere?"
To my delight, Irish accepted my invitation with genuine enthusiasm, igniting a spark of excitement within me. Bursting with anticipation, I sought out Aoto to share the news of my impending adventure.
"Aoto, guess what happened today?" I exclaimed, unable to contain my excitement.
His curiosity piqued, Aoto leaned in, eager to hear the latest development.
"Just a while ago, I asked Irish if she wanted to go out tomorrow, and she said yes!"
A mischievous grin spread across Aoto's face as he realized the significance of my words. "Well, well, it seems like you've landed yourself a date, Asta."
"Listen, you have to make your First impression as better as possible and for that you have to wear something formal but attractive."
"O-of course, I'm gonna wear a white and black suit like a proper gentlemen. Scarlett said high spirits and innocently.
"No! you idiot, you're a girl now, You have to wear something feminine."
I really don't like feminine clothes but I had no choice, i can't let this opportunity slip by. After changing to so many clothes like crop-top, sheath frocks etc, Aoto selected a skin-colored satin fabric, asymmetrical one-shoulder maxi dress for her. As she/he slipped into the dress, its graceful lines accentuated her figure, and the soft fabric draped elegantly around her.
Her abs was so ripped that Abs's shape was visible even after wearing it, The dress draped elegantly, accentuating her curves with a subtle shimmer that caught the light just right. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders in loose waves, framing her face delicately.
As she stood before the mirror, she couldn't help but fell for her own beauty.
With newfound confidence coursing through my veins, I embarked on my date with introvert-chan.
"And now I am here today on a date with introvert-chan."
"But, fuck! It's so embracing, Being naked is better that this, how the hell girls can wear it all day?"
As she waited patiently, a soft voice caught him by surprise as Irish approached from behind.
"Good evening, Nova-san," she greeted, her words tinged with a hint of nervousness. "I came a bit late, I'm sorry."
She was wearing a blue colour frock.
A warm smile graced his's lips as she turned to face her. "Don't worry," she reassured her, her voice gentle and reassuring. "I just arrived myself. You're not late at all. Shall we go for a stroll?"
With a nod of agreement, Irish's tense posture seemed to relax, a shy smile playing on her lips as they set off together.
The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the bustling streets of the fantastical city of Elysium. Scarlett's heart fluttered nervously in her chest as he awaited her first date with Irish, hercheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and apprehension.
As Irish approached, her sky-blue eyes with long eyelashes shimmering with anticipation, Scarlett couldn't help but admire the way her flowing cloak danced in the gentle breeze, adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to tell tales of far-off lands and daring adventures.
Their first stop was a charming tea house nestled in a quaint corner of the city, its walls adorned with vibrant tapestries depicting scenes of mythical creatures and ancient heroes. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly brewed potions and the soft melody of a harp playing in the background.
Over cups of steaming herbal tea, Scarlett and Irish exchanged nervous smiles and tentative glances, their conversation flowing effortlessly as they discovered shared interests and aspirations.
Scarlett's cheeks flushed with warmth as Irish recounted tales of her childhood and travels through enchanted forests and mysterious places, her words painting vivid images of breathtaking landscapes and daring escapades.
As Scarlett and Nova's conversation flowed smoothly, their idyllic moment was shattered by the sudden arrival of two middle-aged adventurers clad in battle suits. A tall beastman and a more average-looking human approached them, their presence imposing and unwelcome.
The beastman, boldly placed his hands on Scarlett's shoulder, his words laced with arrogance. "Hohoho! What a beauty we've got here." I'm Lunar beastfolk a B-rank adventurer from MAGZAT guild,The one behind me is also a B-rank adventurer, Meyor Tetrix."
"So what?"
Scarlett's reaction was swift and fierce. "Get your fucking hands off of me, you old man," she retorted, his tone dripping with aggression.
Undeterred, Lunar Beastfolk continued, his proposition dripping with lechery. "We just came here to ask you how much money you want to sleep with us for one night."
Nova's patience wore thin as he intervened, "Hey! Old man, I'm a student of Hero academy, you know what happens when you mess with a academy's student."
But his warning fell on deaf ears as the adventurers erupted into mocking laughter.
They both looked at each other and started laughing.
"Kyahahaha! Are you talking about the girl behind you, right? She looks like she's a student, but there's no way a woman in her 30s in age is a student," Lunar Beastfolk jeered, his words dripping with contempt.
'This motherfucker's, I'm only 17year old.'
As tension reached its peak, Irish rose from her seat with a fierce determination burning in her eyes. "W-we really are students of Hero Academy," she declared, her voice quivering with suppressed rage. With trembling hands, she presented her ID card, offering irrefutable proof of their affiliation.
"S-satisfied?" she challenged, her resolve unwavering. "We are first-year students. Now leave us alone."
"Huh?! Look at you, your whole body is trembling but you're still giving us lecture."
But the adventurers remained unfazed, their mockery escalating as they dismissed her words with disdain."Mayor, take this girl and I'm taking this blindfolded women, there's no way a first year student is stronger than us."
Mayor Tatrix's unsettling smile sent shivers down Irish's spine as he brazenly plotted their sinister intentions.With a menacing grin, he addressed his companion. "Well... well... we sure are going to have so much fun tonight. But Lunar, make sure to share that blindfolded woman with me too."
The confrontation escalated as the beastman, Lunar, and the human adventurer, Meyor Tatrix, each approached their intended targets with lustrous intent.
It was a tense standoff, with onlookers frozen in anticipation, their breaths held as they watched the impending clash unfold. The aura of the B-rank adventurers loomed large, intimidating all who dared to intervene.
As Lunar, the towering beastman, closed in on Nova, his lewd words hung in the air like a foul stench, a chilling reminder of the danger that lurked in their midst. But Nova remained steadfast, his resolve unshaken by the hollow threats.
"I love breaking muscular womens like you in bed, And make sure to wear that blindfold in bed too, I'm quite the fan of S&M you see."
As he stood in front of Scarlett face to face his height was less than Nova's around her shoulder. With a calm demeanor, Nova prepared to face his adversary head-on
"I have a Rare skill: Physical strengthening, it increases my physical abilities by 5 times, In physical ability means not only strength but power of my each muscles, speed, and impact shock everything increases by 5 times."He declared with overconfidence.
He moved high right leg back, Arched his back a little, And with full force he punched a rear body hook on Scarlett, Scarlett didn't Even tried to move taking his attack head on.
With precision and power, his fist connected with Scarlett's abdomen, the force of the impact reverberating through the air like a thunderclap.
The sheer ferocity of the attack was enough to shatter the tranquility of the restaurant, sending shockwaves rippling through the surrounding area as glass shattered and debris scattered in all directions.
But Not only Lunar but also everyone present their shocked to see that After taking this powerful punch head on he was standing there like nothing happened.Lunar stared breaking a lot of sweats as he witnessed the power of Scarlett.
A menace grin appeared on Scarlett's face like a storm of rage burning within him.
"Blah...blah...blah, you talk too much old man, in your age, an average person should play with thier kids but look at you are dead without even saying goodbye to your family."
He scratched his head in puzzlement, lips forming a perplexed frown.
"Dead?, But I'm Aliv–
Before he could even finish his sentence, Nova punched hard in his stomach, using Fire magic.
"Fire punch".
Unlike normal fire magic where Fire starts emerging from your hands and you can punch your opponent with this fire arm.
But Nova used advanced type of fire punch, In this you inject your mana on your opponent throught punch and burn that mana inside him.(he learned this after studying fire magic Day-night.)
Just as she punched him, His hole body consumed by fire and became Ashes, even his battle armour got burned and disappeared out of thin air.For onlookers, it was like she punched him and the beastman's body burned to ashes in less than 2 seconds .
Everyone started running out of restorent in panick after seeing a murder of that beastman.
Meanwhile
Unaware of the situation human adventurer started his attack on Irish with creepy laugh.
"Kyahahaha! No one here to save you tall girl."
He muttred something and channelled his mana in his body and casted a spell."
"Crystal Fire"
Many blue circles like worm holes started forming behind him.And sharp crystals came out of it, aiming at her.
He was about to shoot crystals at her but When he focused on Irish, he saw that Irish stopped trembling.
A psychopathic grin appeared on her face just like Nova.
"I didn't wanted Nova-san to see me like this but Now It can't helped."
"Dark Magic: Dismatle"
A dark auro emerged from her hand and got absorbed in Tetrix's body. As soon as the black aura entered his body, his magic balance collapsed, Blood started coming out his eyes, ears and mouth.
One by one his body part started Falling, First his hands and then his skin,limbs and head.
And he met a cruel death.
Just as he died Irish's expression changed to her normal self.
"Oops! Sorry Introvert-chan, In my anger, I killed him but I gave him a little pain possible."
She spoke to Nova with a charming smile
"Don't worry,Nova-san they were worth killing, I accidentally killed my opponent too."
Scarlett looked at body of human adventurer, his body laying on ground, half rotten, insects were eating his remaining body.
'huh?...Irish, who can't properly talk, killed someone?, And look at the body, there's no way this is accident.'
'If she killed him with her own will, She should have told me, It's not like, I will be angry at her.'
Who cares if your girlfriend is a killer as long she loves you, I'm a killer too ya'now.'
"Nova-san let's get out of here, my father will take you this, Even thought i'm a low-class noble but I'm still a nobal."
"Okay if you say so." Scarlett agreed.
As Nova and Irish made their way out of the restaurant, a sudden misstep caused Irish to lose her footing. Without hesitation, Nova's instincts kicked in, propelling her into action as she swiftly reached out to catch her before she could hit the ground.Their faces hovered mere inches apart, their breaths mingling in the air They can even feel each others breath.
As they found themselves in a moment of unexpected intimacy. Nova's heart raced with uncertainty, the heat rising in her cheeks as she grappled with conflicting thoughts and emotions.
'Should I kiss her?.... should I kiss her?....should I kiss her.....?' he wondered, the question echoing in his mind with increasing urgency. But beneath the surface, doubts nagged at him, clouding his intentions.
'What if she doesn't want to be kissed by a girl?' she fretted, his mind racing with possibilities. 'What if I've misinterpreted this entire outing as a date?'
Before she could act on her impulses, Irish's voice pierced the tension, breaking the spell of the moment. "Ummm... Nova-san, can you lift me up?"
Startled out of her reverie, Nova quickly composed herself, realizing the awkwardness of the situation. "Huh? Oh, uh, sorry-sorry," she stammered, gently lifting Irish to her feet as they both exited the restaurant, their fleeting moment of closeness giving way to the search for other places to enjoy their time together.
Their next destination was a bustling marketplace, alive with the vibrant colors and exotic scents of goods from distant lands. Scarlett's eyes widened with wonder as she and Irish wandered through the maze of stalls, sampling exotic fruits and marveling at enchanted trinkets.
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets, Scarlett and Irish found themselves atop a towering hill overlooking the city. Together, they watched in awe as the sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, the distant mountains silhouetted against the fading light.
In that moment, as the world seemed to stand still around them, Scarlett felt a sense of peace wash over him. With Irish by her side.
Their first date may have been filled with nervous laughter and hesitant glances, but as they stood together beneath the twilight sky, Scarlett couldn't help but feel that it was the beginning of something truly magical.
