[The Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow]

An Anomaly's Life Inside A Galge is Seriously too harsh for me!

[Epilogue: The Next Step]

---------------

Gray/Matsuri POV:

It's been 8 years huh...

In this world of [Constantine:Le Rhapsodia]

I've Experienced many different things that I couldn't from my previous world

Training myself, Meeting and Interacting with people, Having fun and Learning more about this world

It feels like all of it had just passed by with a blink of an eye

I'm now 14 in this world, In a month will be [Lemuria Academy]'s Opening Test and I've prepared myself to the fullest I can....bullshit

Actually I didn't prepare anything, its just that I can cheat my way with it with my previous world knowledge about the game, of course I'll teach Nino about the things that can get him a passing score but not too high. Kukukuku

and I know Latina And Levi would get a recommendation from their Sensei so I don't need to worry about them

Me, Latina, Levi and Nino would be students then, and Tofu will be acting as my Familiar Inside Academy Grounds.

Also Flavo, My first friend in this World, the both of us will again reunite

I wonder how he grew up to be, Surely He had grown up to become quite a lady killer with his looks but Im worried if he trained and become strong given he had a timid personality

well we promised each other so it should be fine...right?

Latina And Levi had Also grown quite beautiful...and quite big on certain parts too...ngufufufu~

Specially Latina, She was supposed to have a bob cut shoulder length hair but it's still her beautiful long and silky black hair

Is it just me or She's more Pretty and Cuter now than her In game Version?

Also Levi, She Had Really become so Beautiful that I think she could Rival The beauty of those of the [7 Colours] combined

Levi and Latina Had also Learned Quite a lot with the Help of their Sensei, With etiquette training, Magic Training and Some other Secret Thing that they wont tell me...just what is it?

Nino had also Grown up, Being the serious type as he is now, I can't even recognize the change of him being whiny and weak a few years ago, I Made The Old Shit's friend train him with many things, He specially wanted to become my bodyguard and butler, And so, old shit's friend taught him about that and some Archery for Combat and Labrynth Conquering

I also told him to try to Interact with the Village Girls but he said--

"Aniki is All I need in this Lifetime!"

(Aniki:Big bro)

I worry about his future becoming an old man without a family and always following me, but well lets not worry about that for now

The 5 of us are preparing our respective things now and are gonna depart at noon so we can say our proper farewells to those that we are acquainted with in Josiah village

The Village Chief Is also gonna throw a party for Us, He says That 'He's proud that Josiah Village had representatives for going to Lemuria Academy'

and so We're now gonna go hunting for a [Grolo Elefanza] for the whole village to celebrate, The village [BeastHunter]'s wanted to do the job but I told them that it was okay Since there was 5 of us and it would be a long time till we see each other again so we obliged to hunt it ourselves

right now, In the deepest part of forest [Twilight el Male] the 5 of us are facing a Giant Elephant like Beast, has green color for its skin, Red eyes that could Make you shiver when looking at it and 5 Big tentacle like trunks That makes it look a little disgusting, urghhh

[Grolo Elefanza]

- [3 Star Untamed Beast]

- It's-- well it's just a green elephant looking beast that's just really plain disgusting but has delicious meat when cooked

Damn, Even the Game System gave up

"Master, Can I beat it up myself It looks so disgusting..."

Levi tell's us while covering her mouth looking like she was about to barf and while I nodded, as if agreeing Latina, Nino and Tofu nodded to what she said as well

"Goodluck Levi-chan!"

"Thanks Latina-chan!"

what a cute interaction between the two, then Nino suddenly sneaks up behind me smiling

"Aniki you sure have some Cute madams ohoho~ Aniki should Wish Levi-chan goodluck too"

Nino teases me more, Wasn't this guy supposed to be the serious and silent type...Well I knew Since a long time ago that he was always like a big brother figure to Levi And Latina and he also seems to see them like his little sisters too but seriously whats with the huge change in Personality when he teases me involving the two? (Gray Be denser than the Whole universe itself)

"Huh? what Madams? Well...its Fine even if I dont wish her Luck no? Levi is strong anyways"

"Ughh what a dense Aniki...Well anyways just wish her luck, This will be the first monster she would fight in her human form, You rarely train with her since she transformed anyways"

yeah...that's true she was actually training more with Latina and their master for the past year huh

"Fine, G-Goodluck Levi..."

"Kyaaa~ Master is so bashful I'm falling for him more~"

what the hell is this idiot dragon saying?

"If I knew I would get encouraged I should have been the one to fight it, Hmph!"

Latina makes a follow up while pouting

Seriously what's with these two? It's just a 'goodluck'

As I looked at Nino with blank eyes he just closes his eyes and shakes his head left and right looking dissapointed

"Phoooooooo!"

as the [Grolo Elefanza] blew with its trunk all of us instinctively backed away while Levi walked toward it while chanting

and when she was done chanting--

"Shadow Blade Mirage, Dos"

Then suddenly her Shadow Grows larger and it produces 2 sword Like purple shadows from behind her, floating in the Air

"Offesa!"

She points her Right Index finger like a finger gun at the [Grolo Elefanza] then the two purple floating swords then start to fly jetfast to the [Grolo Elefanza] piercing both it's eyes completely blinding it

the [Grolo Elefanza] doesn't really look like it but they have high ranged magic attack and defense

the [Grolo Elefanza] opens it's mouth and shoot a beam like attack towards Levi but--

"Difesa!"

She uses her Right index finger again but this time she's calling the swords back while pointing at herself

when Levi shouted, The two swords went in front of Levi and formed a cross that looked like a shield defending her from the beam

"Hoouu~"

she really improved a lot huh, she didn't even move at her original position when the fight started, maybe she might catch up to me someday but I cant lose to her, I really need to train more.

"Offesa once again!"

The two Levitating swords then attacked straight at The Big Booger colored panicking elephant

due to its blinded eyes, fortunately the fight ended with Levi gouging the eyeholes which was pretty much disgusting so I wont get too much into describing it,

And so we went back to Josiah Village and each of us made preparations for the upcoming party, but first things first...

there's one place that I have to go for the last time...

I walked through the familiar looking forest, leisurely walking through the narrow path which I walked for who knows how many times already

Arriving at the front of the House which had given me the feeling of warmth and comfort

"Oh so you were still here my cute student~"

says the Old man with white long hair that flows and tied on his back he had a medium muscular build wearing a brown shirt and brown pants, basically it was his pajamas but its what he used anywhere he went,

'He looks cool' is the impression of what you'd get from him if you see him for the first time but as you learn of his scummy personality you could ask yourself if he was the same person as his outer appearance

He was lying down again like a lazy bum with his right hand holding his head and his foot on top the other

he was facing the opposite side of me so I couldn't see what he was holding nor doing

"I've come to train again today, Master"

"Huh? oh yeah, yeah training uhhh do 1000 swings with your [Bakunawa] and 1000 of those-what ever ups, Where's Tofu?

"Tofu is with Levi--wait what...1000?! I'M GONNA DIE YOU OLD SHIT!"

"If you die then you die~ what's wrong with that?"

He spoke in a provoking manner...

seriously, it's his disciple's last day of training and he decides to make it easy mode to insane mode in an instant!

I swear if he doesn't change He'll get murdered from provoking the wrong people...well maybe not, master is strong anyways

"Fine then f*cking stupid old shit....."

I told him, went to his backyard then started Warming up,

"....."

"998...hah...999..hahh...100--"

as I was about to finish the thousand Bakunawa swings

A spear is suddenly splunged flying straight at me, luckily I'm Holding the Bakunawa so I deflected it

"Gray, This will be your final test before Going to the Academy..."

"Hahh...haahh...ARE YOU CRAZY, I'M REALLY TIRED RIGHT NOW AND YOU THROW A SPEAR STRAIGHT AT MY FACE?!"

"yes-yes I'm crazy, You should've known that a long time ago, now then~"

The hell is he trying to pull now...

crap I've never been so tired before, I overdid The thousand swings and thousand Excercises...my muscles are aching...a pain that I haven't felt since a long time ago...since the first time I overdid physical training...

"If you manage to land a hit on me with that state of yours, You pass!"

"Huh? Like hell I can fight comfortably in my state right now you old shit I might strain myself...hahh~"

"Less talking more...MOVING"

He quickly went behind me like he just teleported and kicked my back

"GAH!"

"I said Less talking!"

he then grabs my right hand that's holding the [Bakunawa] then he gripped my wrists, so I accidentally dropped my weapon and he proceeded to take it

"Give...it back"

"You've been relying too much on your weapons and allies lately...You always wear those Pair of black gloves, Don't tell me their just for style? they even have great effects yet you don't utilize them correctly"

this old man is mocking me, I'll beat him up with Hand to Hand martial arts, and what does he mean I cant utilize My

[El diablo] correctly, you bastard

"hah~ You're so Hopeless...stop thinking too much into it and start Moving!!!"

He Jumps Up high in the air while changing his trajectory so he can fall over me

"Heavy ground Splitter!"

when he Stabbed his spear on the ground where he landed after the jump

the ground started cracking within a wide circular area

So this is a partial part of Master's power...how frightening...hehe...how fun!

-----

It's been an hour since we started fighting

"Hahhh...hahhh..."

I'm standing In front of master with open wounds...the blood dripping down my forehead to my lips...I can even taste my own blood

this master of mine...is truly a monster...

I can tell with how master's movements that he's not even using 10% of his power...how infuriating

For the past hour I couldn't even touch him and just kept evading but I got hit multiple times

nah scratch that, he basically tortured me for a whole hour, I feel some of my Bones broken, my breathing is heavy, I'm losing too much blood every passing second...

But I can still fight...I will fight till I would faint and reach the limits of my body

Its my turn to go with the offense now...

I slowly position my stance, I lower my feet as I bend my knees that would look like I was half my original height

I place my left palm opened and extended while my right palm placed on my waist

[New Skill]!

It's come huh...

[Ba-Gua-Zhang]

- A set of martial Movements from another world which employs the whole body coiling, smooth flowing hand actions and dynamic footwork that throws rapid fire movements using drawn energy from the abdomen

The [Ba-Gua-Zhang] or in english terms the [The Eight Trigram Palm]

a chinese martial art from my previous world that helped me in many situations with Bastards that planned to hurt me with Weapons

"The hell is with that pose? you look stupid~"

"Sh-shut up and come at me!"

E-Even I know that it looks real stupid when its your first time seeing it!!!

Master charges straight towards me again

I exert some force on both my palms and try to hit his Face but he easily parries my attacks with his spear so I Immediately grabbed his spear forcefully so he would let go of it and it succesfully worked

"hoho~ U grabbed my spear and now what? You think I can't fight without a weapon?"

"Of course~Duh you're Class is [Blacksmith] you old fart"

"I'll just use straight forward Punches from now then"

He then starts to lift up and ready his fists while in a Strange posture

I don't think it's even martial arts

his stance looks shabby and full of opening...but I won't underestimate this monster ever again

I'm so tired that even moving slightly makes me just wanna die and get out of this misery...but I can't do that...

I don't wanna die yet...why?...

CAUSE I DON'T WANNA DIE A VIRGIN

I WANNA DIE HAVING A WIFE, A FAMILY AND KIDS DAMN IT!!!

""IKUZOOO!!!!!""

(Translation:Lets Go!)

as both of us shouted at the same time we rushed each other

when we both were in close range to use our fists I threw a fast Palm strike on his abdomen but he caught my hand and parried it by the side

Shit moving really hurts but I need to hit his smug face or I won't get a single goodnight's sleep at the Academy!

"ORA ORA ORA DIE YOU OLD SHIT"

(ora is like a battle cry for delinquents)

"MUDA MUDA MUDADA YOU BRAT"

(muda means useless so his master is saying that what his doing is useless here)

While I try to hit him with my fists, he easily catches them and parries them by the side even when I increase my speed every everytime I punch

The speed increase is because of the [El Diablo] Gloves and its 20%+ additional effects

but it's still not enough, I want to cry out the pain that I feel with my muscles, Im feeling really heavy, Its like the muscles that are in pain are burning up...but...

"GRIT YOUR TEETH!"

*pan*

And finally...I hit him in the face with a loud slap...

(Damnnm Gray be bitchslapping his own master)

"hehe, F*ck you old shit...I....Win..."

I made a middle finger right at his face and smiled, and the next thing I knew was that I fainted.

-----

"M...st..r..."

"G...un.."

"n...yu..."

Huh...what...whats this...so annoying...Lemme sleep...5 more minutes mommy...

""GRAY-KUN/MASTER WAKE UP!""

"Ahhhh urusaii!!!" (Translation:shut up!)

I open my eyes and see the two familiar looking faces of beautiful women and a rabbit with a red bandana tied to its head

"ahh~ goodmorning~"

"Master what do you mean good morning, we're leaving!"

"Huh? wait what?!"

I immediately stand up and check my surroundings...

Im now in an Airship with many people...

"Huh? whats happening? why are we all inside an air transport?"

"Well Aniki was asleep so we and the Village chief decided to make the farewell party inside the Airship!"

"I see, I'm ok now, you all enjoy yourselves then"

"Gray-kun where are you going?"

"Master come eat with us!"

"nubyuuuu!!!"

as the three kept pestering me cutely I don't have any choice but to go with them

and so we talked to Many people that we were aquainted with, My Shop's staff, the Village Officials and The other Village people

As soon as we finished talking with them I sat down on a chair...damn those villager girls really kept going near me...and Latina and Levi also looked at me with a cold icy glare that trickled down my spine when I talked to other girls...it was too damn tiring...

"hahhh~"

as soon as I sat down Levi gave me a plate full of [Grolo Elefanza Barbeque] which was amazingly tasty

"Master, Here! ahhhn~"

"H-hey stop that its embarassing!"

She cutely made a feeding gesture

holding the stick of the Barbeque she slowly put the meat on my mouth...it suddenly tastes better...well of course it would

Imagine a really beautiful girl feeding you with all her heart acting seductively beautiful, of course it would taste good, hell I'll gladly even eat the whole thing, Even the stick as long as a beautiful woman like Levi feeds me!

I munched at the meat she was holding then--

"Kyaa~ master is too agressive eating my meat~"

"PFFFTTT!!!"

I accidentally spit all the meat at her sudden remarks

"If only master would feed me too~"

"Fine I'll feed you, Give me that stick!"

I Left the seat and went to The people Grilling the [Grolo Elefanza Barbeque] and went back Immediately to Levi

"Here, Oh wait let me try it first, It could burn your tongue"

I blow the Barbeque stick and start to prepare feeding her

"Here say Aahn~"

"M-master I-its kind of Embarssing...I'll do it m-myself"

Oh~? she was rather cheeky earlier and now look at her cute pointy ears all red from embarassment

"I said ahhhn~"

"W-wawawa~"

as soon as I fed her she looked down while looking red...

"yeah...Levi really is a beautiful woman"

"MASTER?!"

"oh crap, I didn't mean to say that out loud"

"W-w-well I think master is also a really cool and handsome man..."

she says while her head was looking down, She was trying to hide her Blushing face but I can see her Ears Clearly Behind her long purple hair

"I-i need to go to the restroom!"

Levi said while dashing away in a cute manner

while seating and eating Leisurely on the sidelines I see Tofu hopping straight my way and when he's infront of me, He starts rolling around nonstop doing cute things

"Nu-nugyu!!! Bunyu nubyu!!! byubyu!!!"

"Tofu what's wrong? why do you keep jumping? and rolling?"

as clueless as I am, Even though we've been with each other for 8 years I sometimes still cant understand him, and when I don't understand him...The thing he does is--

*jumps on top of head and tugs hair*

oh? he's tugging my hair? most of the time he would slap me with his babysized hands

he uses my hair to direct my face on a certain direction

"!"

I stand up and slowly walk to the 'Thing' Tofu wanted me to see...after this I'll reward him with plenty of my emergency stockpile strawberry deserts...

I reached my hand on the shoulder of some teenagers near my age swarming around a certain girl with long black hair

"Oi..."

I said in a deep dark voice that reverberates with the depths of hell

"Huh? whats your proble-- Eeeeek!?"

The Boy looked scared and seemed like he wanted to shit his pants but I tighten my hands grip on his shoulders

"Ow-Ow-OUCH!!! S-stop please!?"

with him making a scuffle, naturally the people would look at the guy making weird sounds and so everybody surrounding the girl and the Cute girl which was undoubtedly Latina, all looked at my and the boys direction...

"Touch my woman and I'll murder you all..."

They all looked liked they wanted to shit their pants now, Except Latina who was in the middle of everyone Blushing deep red looking panicked and troubled

Even I know the reason why all the dudes swarming around her look scared shitless,

'A Boy with Blackhair smiling widely and eyes that looked like they were going red was portruding an Intimidating glare to everyone looking at him Except for the girl of course'

An Atmosphere where Anyone could die in mere seconds...Everyone around him couldn't breathe nor move...for the scene that was in front of them...was the image of their death...

"I-its okay Gray-kun, they didn't do anything bad to me..."

Latina, while Hugging my body was telling me these with her sweet as honey voice

she looked pretty and became more red

"Are you sure?"

"yup"

she told me while wearing a really cute smile...ahh~ as expected of the protagonist

And so the problem was solved and no one died...YET

"Im gonna stay at the balcony to get fresh air...Tofu stay with Latina and Levi"

"Nubyu!!!"

and so I went outside the Airship's balcony While the other 4 that would also leave with me to the academy were bussily talking to the other villagers, specially their friends and aquaintances

I walked and Leaned over the barricade

I touched my Right Ear and felt the Crescent shaped Earings dangling with the wind...

"Cambio...Forma..."

When my Earings changed form Into the Large War Fan it had a piece of notepaper sticking at its handle

I took it and as soon as I opened it, Blue Glowing letters start to float in front of me, like the unreachable stars just hovering in top of me-

[Hey Brat, Sorry I couldn't come to you and the other 4 brat's farewell party, As you know that this beloved Master of yours is just too busy(lazy) with many things,

I Upgraded Your equipment's and all but I won't tell you what they are just yet, but no worries, As you grow stronger they also grown with you, It's been a hell of a ride Spending my days with you,

Oh I stole Some of yer Strawberry Booze when You didn't notice it by the way hehehe,

That last slap was really disappointing to be honest but I enjoyed the slugfest we both did, only a little bit okay, And don't worry The great me Healed your body to the perfect condition before you left so there will be no problems.....

I'm leaving the village And planning to go somewhere far away...you can find me but I don't know if you have what it takes, so Until then Good luck with your studies, Make friends, Beat the shit outta those who bully you, Protect what you need to, Become The Academy's strongest...And most of all, don't forget to Enjoy your School life,

You always tend to get serious like you know what's gonna happen in the future, and so and that's the reason you overwork and rush yourself on many things, don't forget you have friends and allies that care for you...aghhh all this drama is making me lose my Stubborn and lazy Character...Thank's for the gift by the way, well My beloved Student... Gray de Bernardo, till we meet again]

as soon as the glowing bright starlike words finished showing up, tears swelled up on my face, it was a face that I wouldn't want anyone to see...

*sniffles•

"Why didn't you at least see me off dammit...I didn't even tell you my full name but how do you know it...I hate you...old shit...why didn't you wake me up....."

to that father like figure of mine who became my moral and mental support when I needed to, the old man who understood me fully even when I didn't explain things and helped me to, To the cool looking old man with the garbage personality...Master...

"Arigato"

---------------

On top of the highest mountain near Josiah Village Is an Old man With his arms folded in his armpits, A black trenchcoat that swayed with the wind, His white hair tied to flow on his back, Looking at the leaving flying airship

And Behind him...was An army of Demons...

He was Leonel...

[Leonel Skofa Belphegor]...Gray's master

and Gray's enemy...

The Demon King...The last Boss of the Game

The One who will bring upon humanity's downfall After 5 Years...

*Demons Growling and Cawing in the Background*

"Calm down you nasty f*cks, After 5 Years, when I'll get awoken from my deep slumber...shall be the day of Humanity's Demise"

well, until then..my student

Gray...no...or rather...Otherworlder...

"Hitose Matsuri..."
