CHAPTER 45- Cris's past is ... boring?
"Please, mother, help me! I'll do anything that you want! Yes I will fight, but you know I won't win! Remove the conditions! I want to keep my class C!"
Kei met with his mother in a hall, which is located below the coliseum. It is a secret hall used for special meetings.
It was illuminated with magic stones. Magic stone = focus. They are common stones that serve as focus.
Kei returned to his normal form, because here they cannot discover it.
"Yes, I know... I didn't expect you to fight her ... I guess I'll remove the conditions. Son, I know it's almost impossible for you to win, but do your best."
Sei Molfer stroked his head and smiled at him.
"I'm sure it will be an entertaining fight."
"Yes. I won't disappoint you, mother."
"Now, put on the clothes I gave you. The special fight will begin."
"Special fight?"
"It's a surprise."
Sei Molfer winked and Kei felt a bad feeling.

"Finally, we have the special fight! The bets are over!"
Kei Molfer, in his normal form, was observing the arena on a balcony. Important nobles were gathered on that balcony, including the first princess.
For some reason, Sei Molfer ordered Kei to wear only black pants and shoes.
His excellent physique caught the attention of the princess. She kept watching him, but he didn't notice that.
"Who will fight? I wanted to bet."
Sei Molfer took his arm and smiled.
"You will fight."
"Eh?"
Sei Molfer threw Kei towards the arena.
"Good luck, son!"
"Damn crazy!!"
Kei crashed to the ground again and people started laughing at him.
"Shit, surprise ruined my concentration."
Kei got up off the ground and dusted himself off.
"Kei Molfer, the son of Sei Molfer, will fight with Your Majesty, Princess "Estella"!"
"Eh? The Princess?!"
The princess jumped off the balcony and landed perfectly on the arena.
"Are you ready?"- Estella said as she took her sword out of its sheath.
"W-wait! I must do it?"
"Kei, fight using all your strength !! Don't let yourself be beaten or I'll reveal your secret !!"- Shouted Sei Molfer.
Kei turned completely red and a flaming sword appeared in his right hand.
"If for some reason I win, don't be mad, please. Accept defeat."
"Same here, Kei."
Kei sighed. He seemed relaxed, but he was too nervous.
"The princess is an incredible warrior who survived my mother's training! I've never seen her fight! Will she be powerful ?! What if I win ?! Will the Royal family kill me ?!"- He thought scared.
"Go!"
Estella tried to attack him, but Kei perfectly dodged the attack and walked away.
"She is... slow?"
Estella kept attacking, but Kei perfectly dodged her attacks.
"She's strong, but her movements are predictable ... Well, she's young, she's got a long way to go. My mother trained me every day for several years. And thanks to my "Double Points" skill, the results of that training were doubled.- He thought.
Estella's sword began to glow.
Immediately, Kei's sword disappeared and he stopped Estella's sword with both hands.
All the people were speechless when they saw that.
"W-What?"
Kei broke the sword and began to sweat too much.
"I lost 80% of my magical energy, but it was worth it."
"What did you do!? How did you do it?"
"You used your magic to enhance your sword's attacks. That is a big mistake. You must first use magic on your legs and arms to improve your movements. You lost control of your sword for a second. I took advantage of that second to stop the sword and use my magic to destroy it ... And I also used my magic on you. You can't move, right?"
"Eh?"
Estella was still standing, but she wasn't moving at all. She wasn't moving any muscles, she was just talking.
"What did you do to me?!"
"It's a new trick I learned. Sorry, but it's a secret technique."
Kei put his thumb on Estella's abdomen.
"First learn to use magic on your body, then you can use it on other objects."
He pushed her gently and Estella fell to the ground.
"The winner is Kei Molfer!"
Everyone began to celebrate Kei's victory.
[Congratulations, darling! I knew you would win!]
[I bet all our money on you! We'll win a fortune, nya!]
[Girls, Cris wait. Wait for me in the forest.]
Sei Molfer landed on the arena and hugged Kei.
"Son, what did you do to her?! Teach me that!"
"It is a secret."
"Didn't you cheat?"
"Of course not! I used my own magic!"
"Oh, I see."
"I can't tell you that a demon taught me to use my magic to control the magic point in the brain."- Kei thought.
In this world almost nothing is known about magic points. Demons are experts on that subject.
Drin taught Kei everything she knew about magic points.
When Estella used magic to enhance her sword's attacks, her magic points were linked to the sword. When Kei used his magic on Estella's sword, he sent a large part of his magic to the magic point that was in Estella's brain.
He ordered Estella's body not to move and thus won.
It is a risky move, as it requires too much magic power and would only work with people weaker than him.
"At least it worked ... But it is too tiring and I almost failed ... It's useless, it won't do me any good."- He thought.

Cris was sitting under a tree, waiting for Kei.
Above her head was the Slime.
"What if he escapes?"
"He won't escape, Sline. He's got no choice."
"Are you sure you will win?"
"I don't know."

Time ago.
After living for 5 years as a Slime in a forest, Cris learned to shape-shift.
"Y-yes, I'm doing it ..."
She transformed into a little 5-year-old girl.
"Y-Yes! Finally! It's perfect!"
She checked her entire body. There was no missing part. Everything was in order.
"Fine, I don't have a penis! I am 100% female ...! Will Kei accept me with this body or will he still see me as a man?"
She heard the voices of some women.
"Girl, what are you doing here?"
"Why are you naked?"
"You got lost?"
A group of 3 adventurers approached her.
"Y-Yes... My family was attacked by a monster when I was bathing ... I could barely escape alive ... My family died."
"H-how terrible! Come with us, you will be safe."
"Eh? Did you believe my story? I'm not even crying. My "Cheating" skill works very well. Thank you, you scam bandit I ate. You tasted awful, but your skill is very useful."- Cris thought.

4 years later.
"That's the last one!"
Cris, 9 years old, was sitting on the bodies of 10 Orcs.
The adventurers congratulated her on her work.
"This concludes the request. Let's go back."
Cris looked up and smiled.
"I have enough power ... Kei, I'll see you soon."

Kei, Drin, and Eris met with Cris.
There was no need to use their forms as adventurers with her, so Drin and Kei were using their normal forms.
"Well, here we are. I guess you won't believe me if I tell you that we're not bad. We do not work for demons."
"You keep lying. My skill never fails me."
"Well, it's failing."
"Yes, of course. I don't have time, let's get this over with."
A black portal appeared next to Kei and he stuck his right hand inside the portal.
He took out the fake Dragon sword and the portal disappeared.
"Magic storage? Where did you get it? I investigated, but it does not exist in this world."- Cris said.
"Doesn't exist? I got it in a dungeon."
"In a dungeon? How odd... Well, it don't matter. Let's get started."
Cris and Kei used to be best friends ... But that friendship was in the past.
(What do you think of the story so far? Leave a review, that would help me a lot.)
