RPG chapter 40

40　Overtime

I have officially become Jirat, the 12^th rank of the Twelve Apostles

By taking in the beast piece, the beast-like feature also appeared on my appearance

It was……。

「「「Gahahahahaha!?」」」

The kind of thing that makes everyone laughs

The beast-like thing added to me was……

Whisker

Perhaps due to my symbolic animal being the mouse, the thin and long whisker spread toward both sides

They look like Ne*mi otoko’s

The impression is too funny that my colleagues have fallen into a whirlpool of laughter for a while

「Whisker!? Whisker, for real!? Not to mention, sparsely!? Cute!? Hihihihihihi!?」

「Do, don’t laugh……, laughing at your friend is!? Pukuku……!?」

「Boss is also the same as me……. What a relief……!?」

It became something like a joke, huh?

Well, with this, I have obtained the power of beast demon, together with another kind of power

If you think of it as the price for strength, the strange attached part is acceptable

In addition to the Holy Wisdom Art of Wisdom God Sophia, I also had the Beast Demon power of Beast god Beast

A person with 2 kind of power that originally contrasts with each other coexist in one body shouldn’t have existed, at least in 『Beast Fantasy 4』

……。

No, perhaps there is one, the 『Tanu-sage』

No one else

What kind of meaning it has, the timing to show that will come soon

「The Twelve Apostle had been completed」

Those are the words of the Emperor

「From now on, the twelve of you will be known as the strongest force of the empire. Anyone hearing your name would be scared, thousands of corpse would pile up just by waving your hand. The threat of the empire, the firmness of the empire, the power of the empire. Those are what you are」

The twelve people shivered to those words

Perhaps, they are stimulated by their pride, being recognized as the pillar of the empire

「There will be a grand debut for you in the future. Show your gallant figure to the neighboring nations. Until then, you can do as you like to relieve yourself from the fatigue after struggling in the selection meeting」

Finally, break time is here

I have been promoted, so I want a comfortable working environment

「However」

It was what I thought

But look like there are something more

「Do any of you have dissatisfaction? For example, I have given to each of you a rank. From the 1^st rank to the 12^th rank, are any of you not satisfied with the rank you received?」

「I do!」

The one replied is the fifth rank Saraka

「I intend to obey whatever decision your Majesty the Emperor had, but only being under this woman is unacceptable! Your Majesty the Emperor, please order me now! I will finish it no matter how hard it is, it will prove I am better that her」

「Annoying, aren’t you?」

Forte, who was pointed at, has a troubled face

「That spirit is good. It’s a very good thing to have the desire to improve. Other than Saraka, anyone else? Anyone who think they should be at higher rank?」

「In that case, I do, your Majesty」

It was Gashi who stepped forward

「We are very unhappy. The bunch from the elite guards had received Beast Aura in advance, but we had to challenge them without anything. It was our hard effort that allow us to stay till the end!」

「But, because of that, all of us are at low ranks!」

Even Seki stepped forward……!?

「Now that we have been given the beast pieces, our condition are equal! Now we can truly compare our abilities! We can move to higher ranks! Jira over there too!!」

「Even me?」

The feeling of my friends sinks deeply to my mind

The emperor nods in satisfaction……。

「Everything you said are reasonable. In that case, how about having a gozen match if you want?」

「「Gozen match?」」

What in the world is this situation……。

Suspicious

「I also want to ascertain the true power of the Twelve Apostles who will become my right-hand men. If both sides wish for it, you can have a match against your comrades in the Twelve Apostles before my eyes. It will be a friendly match. From that result, I will reconsider the ranking」

「Gotcha! It’s a match, Forte! I will beat you immediately and change the order」

Saraka, who became more proactive about changing the rank, is the noisiest one

However……。

「No」

She was suppressed immediately

The one who can make Saraka, the fifth rank of the Twelve Apostle, become silent

The one who hold such an aura (haki)……。

First rank, Grey Ryuuga

The man who have been standing behind the emperor until now stepped forward

Wearing a jet black armor, the aura of a strong warrior gushes out from his body

「The fighter of the first match will be me. Fifth rank Sarakasar, if you want to fight first then the opponent will be me. Any objection?」

「I shall refrain!」

She ran away

Well, it can’t be helped

Grey Ryuuga’s haki is strong, even when he just stands up

Standing at the top of the Twelve Apostles, even among the chosen strongest warriors, his extraordinary power can be seen from his appearance

Only an idiot will jump in while knowing he will be beaten to pulp

「If it means to cancel your dissatisfaction in a gozen match, then I would be the seed of those dissatisfaction, right?」

Grey Ryuuga talks calmly

Showing the composure of a strong man

「You have passed a strict selection to officially become the Twelve Apostle. However, I have skipped all steps, and received the first rank nonetheless. There are people who think it’s unfair, bias」

No one does

Everyone acknowledged that

「So with this chance, I want to show my real strength to all of you. How about re-experience the pain not less than the one you have tasted in the selection meeting? From now on, I will……」

His gaze moved from left to right……。

「have a match against all Twelve Apostles other than myself」

「!?」

「I will defeat all 11 people, it will be the proof that I am truly the first rank. Then, who will challenge me first? Anyone enthusiastic about defeating me, feel free to give your name」

But naturally, no one said anything

Without needing to confirm, everyone acknowledged Grey Ryuuga’s strength

I am the same

Rather, I can say that I have experienced his strength in the game

How many time do you think I have challenged and been annihilated by Grey Ryuuga, the last obstacle before the last boss of 『Beast Fantasy 4』?

34 times!

Needless to say, the shitty, bullshit boss character Grey Ryuuga has become the trauma of many players

I don’t want to challenge that trauma after reincarnated!

「What’s wrong? No one want to challenge? Wartaiga, how about you?」

「Please pardon me」

The second place rejects and bows his head

「Someone like me cannot challenge Grey Ryuuga-sama. I will abstain」

「It’s a place to play anyway. I think it’s fine to cut loose a little……but I am troubled. If you resign then everyone will have cold feet, right?」

Exactly

Even the second rank avoids a direct showdown, the third rank and below can’t bring themselves to challenge him no matter how hard they try

The gloomy silence engulfed the place

「It can’t be helped. Then I will nominate. Among you, the most interesting opponent is……」

Shit, nomination

Stop!

I can only think of the future of the nominated guy crying and apologizing!

I thought so, but……。

「Hold up!」

A cute voice raised up from the group

「I will challenge you! Third rank of the twelve apostles! Selentaura!」

It was my sister

Gozen match: meaning a one-on-one match under the watch of the lord (just like the image in the link, 2 guys are having a match while an old dude – their lord – is watching)
