CHAPTER 50 - Traitor.
(Pov - Kei.)
Mmm... Let's analyze the current situation now that Seiya is here. I need to update my information to stay informed and not be caught off guard.
Since I defeated Commander Slime, no demons have appeared, or at least they haven't been seen. They're afraid of me, so they're taking their time. They'll stop sending weak demons and start sending much more powerful ones, but for that, the Demon Queen needs to accumulate power. If I'm correct, I have about three or four months left, maybe less if they find out more about me without me realizing it.
That's regarding the demons. Next is about Nisei... Ah, nothing yet. She hasn't shown up anywhere. The girls insist she's dead, but I still hope she's alive. I only asked her to investigate and escape if she was in trouble. Initially, I planned to go on the mission with her, but when I went to that country, I didn't find her. I searched and searched, but couldn't find her. Was she really discovered so quickly? There's definitely something going on in that country. I feel bad for her, I sent her to die, but I truly believed she would do an excellent job. That girl managed to defeat me, and she was even capable of defeating Drin. That girl was... No... That girl is strong. I refuse to believe she's dead.
Mio, Nem, Terkiana, Nerka, Mia, Treka, Eris, and Drin... Well, the order of the most powerful, according to their status, is: Kei (me), Drin, Treka, Mia, Terkiana, Mio, Eris, Nem, and Nerka. Nerka has excellent aim, but her physical strength is not far behind. She may have the worst status, but that's because she focuses on improving her physical strength and aim rather than her magical power. The same goes for Eris, who trains solely to improve her physical strength. Nem and Mio fight in close combat, but their attacks use magic that damages the inside of their enemies, so they train to improve their magical power. Mia is an expert in physical training, she trains the others in that area. Treka trains them in stealth and agility since that's her specialty.
But the ones who have shown the most progress are Drin and Terkiana. For some reason, my ability [Double Points] managed to eliminate the limit that Terkiana reached hundreds of years ago, and she is once again capable of improving.
Elves have very, very slow growth, but when they reach a certain level of power, that slow development becomes much, much slower, to the point where it seems they are unable to become more powerful, and that is known as the "limit."
Elves give up when they reach that limit because it wouldn't be worth it to train so much just to increase their power by a mere 0.1%, and they would achieve that by training for weeks without any rest. But Terkiana has increased her power by 48% since she started training with me. In other words, my ability [Double Points] is not affected by that limit, and it gives Terkiana points as if she weren't an Elf with slow development, and the same goes for Grisia and Nerka, who increase in power as if they didn't have slow development.
We have the theory that the points I obtain, my ability turns them into special points capable of making any being powerful. Fufu. I knew my unique ability wasn't just a version of the same ability as the heroes!
Grisia is not yet on our team, unofficially. I will wait until she turns 15. She is still too young, lacking experience. I don't want to put her in danger.
In summary, everything is progressing relatively well. Cris, the Slime girl, did work for the demons. Luna confirmed it to me, as Fravi warned them about her. I understand that she managed to escape from the heroes, so I have to be careful.
Why did Fravi help me? I don't know, but she probably has her reasons.
Mei... Well, with her, she remains the same in terms of her personality, at least the personality she has with me. She behaves rudely towards other people, but at least she doesn't kill innocents. Gradually, she is becoming like our mother, even her body and face are starting to resemble hers. That's why I focus a lot on her education and personality, to prevent her from becoming a Sei Molfer 2. I don't want my future nieces and nephews to suffer the same way we did. When they are born, this world may possibly live in peace with or without the demons. Either way.
My parents and grandmother are the same, they haven't changed.
My older brothers... no fucking idea. It's been a long time since I last saw them, but it's not like I care. Their existence has zero importance in my life. I think I'm still resentful because they mistreated Mei when we were young.
And well, the matter with Seiya... It has no importance in my life. The only interesting thing I can get from him... her, are her contacts, but that's it. She may identify as a woman, but she is a man, so she is not useful to me as a companion. She doesn't have what it takes to become strong.
Maybe my ability is also capable of making a man strong, but it would take a lot of time, and perhaps it wouldn't be worth it. I prefer to go for the safe option and train people whom I know are strong and can become even more powerful.
And, finally, the heroes... Nothing interesting. Luna sometimes comes to visit me once a week, but we only train and reminisce about our world. It's nice to be with her, but I still fear that she will betray me.
The others don't talk to me or show any interest in me.
In summary, everything is going relatively well in my life... except for one thing.
"Hmmmmh. Delicious."
"Your sweat tastes exquisite, my love."
"S-Stop licking me!"
My fiancées are future nymphomaniacs!
I-I was calmly going into the bathroom to pee, but Freiya was waiting for me inside.
When I tried to ask her why she was in the men's room, Neil appeared behind me and caught me with her tentacles!
And-and at this moment, quite illegally by the way, they took off my school uniform and are licking my body!
"No, stop licking me...! Kya! Don't touch me there!"
"You don't want to have sex with us, so at least let us lick you and touch you, love."
"It's your fault for being too cute."
"You're 11 years old, you idiots! When I have the time, I'll go bust your mothers' asses for corrupting your innocent minds with stupid ideas!"
"Fufu. You better bust our asses, handsome," said the two of them.
Ahhhhhhhh! Damn weird world!!
"Cough, cough. Well, well, well."
T-that voice... Oh, my hero!
"What do you think you're doing to Kei, you idiots?"
"Fufu. Jealous, Grisia? I have enough to share Kei with Neil, I don't plan to share him with anyone else. If you want I'll let you give his nipple a lick, but that's it."
"Really?!"
"Grisia!" I shouted, angry, because Grisia was about to join them instead of helping me! She was already salivating!
"Ejem. I-I mean... You're not students of this school yet, leave right now or I'll report you for sexual harassment and attempted rape!"
"Kei will be our future husband, it's not rape!"
"But you're not married yet! Leave or suffer the consequences!" she said, raising her fists, scaring my fiancées.
Fufu. Grisia's fame is almost like that of a Molfer, that's why they are afraid.
"L-ladies, seriously, can't you wait until you turn 15? I don't want to lose my virginity yet!"
"Ah, that's the only flaw you have, darling. You're too shy." - Freiya said.
"But that side of yours, I do like it. It makes you look cuter." - Neil said.
Neil freed me. Ah, phew, thanks... Huh?! I got a spank!
"See you tomorrow for our weekly date, my love."
"I love you."
They kissed me on the cheeks and left the bathroom, not without exchanging hateful glances with Grisia.
"Don't try to steal Kei from us."
"Or your family will suffer the consequences."
"Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah. Goodbye, nympho bitches."
"Fufu. It's funny that the daughter of a nymphomaniac would call us that. Goodbye."
They left the bathroom and I sighed in relief. Ahhhhhhhh! Nooooooo! How did innocent girls turn into perverts?! I will definitely give their mothers a beating!
"Are you okay, Kei?"
"Y-yes, thanks."
"Why didn't you hit them? You could have easily freed yourself from those tentacles."
"Ah, I prefer to avoid hurting them. I don't want to have problems with their families in this peaceful moment."
"Yes, I understand your situation. Is it my turn for training today?"
"Mia will be busy with my mother today, so Treka is the only one available."
"That's fine with me. Shall we go together?"
"See you later. I have to accompany Seiya. We're going to the Capital for her to get to know it and all that. Take care."
"Yes, of course. Fufu. Protect your behind."
"Definitely! See you!"
I rushed out of the bathroom.
My rear end will always be safe!
Ah... Seiya, I hope you'll be useful to me.

The Supreme God watches over Kei too closely, but he is not the only human who watches. In fact, there is a human who has spent more time with the Supreme God than Kei, and the Supreme God personally trained him.
Who had the fortune of being trained by the Supreme God?
"Is that all, useless?!"
Drei was being beaten on the ground by Iskei and his friends mercilessly, but Drei doesn't complain or show any signs of being affected by the blows. Saria was simply watching silently, scared. Why doesn't she try to defend Drei? She wants to, but she doesn't want to upset Iskei, the boy she loves.
Drei realized that when he looked into her eyes and closed his own, fully accepting that he will never be more important to her than Iskei, despite being childhood friends.
Why are they beating Drei?
"Will you keep defending that weirdo?!"
Because he prevented them from continuing to insult a certain girl who is important to him, and it's not Saria, it's another girl who took Saria's place in Drei's heart in the past.
Drei overheard them speaking ill of that girl and asked them to stop talking about her or they would regret it. They laughed at him and started beating him.
Drei took the blows without any problem... In fact, he wasn't even injured. It's as if physical attacks have no effect on him. Were the punches weak? No, Drei's body is the one that's resilient.
"Last warning," Drei said, bored of the situation.
They continued beating him, completely ignoring Drei's warning, as it was well known that he had no magical power and was only accepted into the academy because his parents convinced the director.
The academy does accept people without magical talent, mainly training them to be warriors, but Drei wasn't initially accepted into the academy because he got into a fight with a teacher during the entrance exam. Why? Because the teacher had a rude and arrogant personality, and when Drei accidentally bumped into him while entering the classroom, the teacher insulted him and Drei insulted him back, one thing led to another, and they ended up fighting in front of everyone.
That's why Drei is not respected by anyone. They don't fear his warnings because he has no magical power, and they believe he is an insect who was only accepted out of pity. Being one of the worst students in his class doesn't help him much either.
But that changed when "he" appeared in his life.
Drei smiled and opened his eyes.
"I warned you."
Suddenly, his eyes turned gray, and everything around him started moving slowly, as if in slow motion.
Iskei's fist was inches away from his face, and effortlessly, he moved his head to the right, dodging the punch and causing Iskei's fist to hit the ground.
Without waiting a second, Drei punched Iskei in the face with such force that he went flying and crashed into the wall.
Drei kicked the legs of the other two students, and they were about to fall to the ground, but before that happened, Drei quickly got up from the floor and using his fists, he struck them hard in the face, causing their heads to hit the ground, leaving them unconscious almost instantly.
In less than 3 seconds, Drei defeated them with such ease that Saria couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.
Her beloved Iskei was on the ground, with his lips bleeding and his nose bleeding, in pain and unable to stand up.
Her beloved Iskei was defeated by Drei, something Saria never imagined seeing in her life.
"Uh? W-what?"
"That's the problem with those who believe their magical power is the most important thing, they neglect physical training."
His eyes returned to their original color, and everything returned to normal.
Iskei, like his friends, fainted from the pain.
"Iskei?!"
Saria approached to help him, and Drei sighed disappointedly because even in this situation where he was being beaten, Saria cared more about Iskei than him.
"Saria, I've always considered you a friend, but you didn't even try to help me... Iskei was hitting me, but you worried about him and not me... Don't talk to me again."
"What? What are you saying?"
"Goodbye."
He walked away and smiled, leaving Saria behind, who said nothing and didn't go after him because she didn't know how to react in this situation... Or rather, fear kept her from moving.
Fear of the new Drei.
"Well, life goes on... I wonder if Cristhela will help me with my training today."
Cristhela, the new girl who occupies a place in Drei's heart.
And while Drei enjoyed the feeling of victory, in Godfer, the Supreme God was observing Drei, quite satisfied with the outcome.
"He now knows how to control the celestial eyes perfectly. It didn't take him too long... It was a good idea to give it to him in person."
Drei, the human who was personally trained by the Supreme God and the most envied human by the Gods... including Fravi.
•
•
How was Drei able to be trained by the Supreme God? Was he about to die in an epic manner saving someone, and the Supreme God felt admiration for him? Nah. Is he a destined warrior who will save the world from the Demon King? Nah. Did Drei do something important at least? Nah.
So why did the Supreme God train him? The answer is simple: entertainment. Kei is going through a peaceful time, so the Supreme God wanted to entertain himself with something, and that "something" could be useful in the future.
It all started some time ago.
Drei was doing push-ups in his room calmly.
By the way, although it's a magical world, it's highly advanced. It doesn't seem medieval. It seems modern. The reason? Magical technology, i.e., the replacement for electricity. In that world, magic was used as electricity, leading to many technological advances, allowing that world to be not medieval despite being a magical world, but it's not as advanced as Kei's original world.
Everything was peaceful until...
"405. 406..."
"407. 408."
"409. 410... Huh?"
The Supreme God was sitting on his back, and Drei fell to the ground in surprise.
The fear was more than justified. The Supreme God appeared suddenly on his back without prior notice.
Furthermore, his appearance didn't help diminish Drei's fear.
"Who are you?!"
"Nice to meet you, Drei. I am the Supreme God."
"W-what?"
"If you don't believe me, I can prove it. When you were 8 years old, you cried because your cat died, but you didn't want anyone to see you, so you cried in your room for hours at night."
"Huh? How do you know?!"
"I am the Supreme God, I know everything. Do you want me to reveal more secrets? You have a photograph of Saria in a swimsuit, and you use it to mastu..."
"Uwaaaah! Stop, stop, stop! It's not necessary. I believe you. I-I have that photo hidden well, so... Are you really a God? If so, what number am I thinking of?"
"None. You're imagining Saria's photo, and now you're imagining the number 7 dancing."
Drei tried to change what he was imagining to test it and fully confirm what he's being told.
"Eh?! It's true! I definitely believe you now!"
In that world, no one can read minds, there is no magic or ability capable of doing so, that's why Drei believes him.
"Perfect. Now listen to me. Do you want to surpass Iskei? I can give you the power you need."
"Really?!"
"Yes. I will give you a power called "Celestial Eyes." They will allow you to see attacks in slow motion... That's it. It seems too simple, but it's very useful. Besides, I will make you a special human. Your strength will increase, but your body won't change much. A very muscular body could be bothersome. Your body will no longer have limits, meaning you can always keep improving."
"T-that's great... But... Why are you doing this for me?"
"You're a good person, and I like you... Plus, it hurt me to know that Saria will never love you."
"That much I know."
"Find another love."
"Yes... I was already giving up on her."
"And there's another reason why I'm training you, but you'll know in the future. Alright?"
"Yes, I agree, Supreme God."
"I will train you for a month. Not many have that privilege. Forest."
They disappeared from the room and appeared in a huge forest, making Drei even more excited and scared.
"Teleportation magic?! It's a legendary magic! No one has been able to use it for thousands of years!"
"I am a God. I can do anything. Now listen carefully. Your physical appearance will improve a bit. In other words, you will be handsome."
"Eh? Handsome?"
"I'm doing this to get revenge on that girl named Saria. I don't understand humans. Why did she fall in love with someone like Iskei? Humans are weird... Well, whatever. I will make you handsome so that Saria falls in love with you, and I want you to reject her. And if she doesn't fall in love with you, at least that will help you get a girlfriend."
"... Do I really have to reject her?"
"She doesn't deserve you. If you want power, you will do as I say."
Drei lowered his gaze because he still loves her, but he knows perfectly well that a relationship with her will never work.
"Yes... I suppose it's necessary."
"Other conditions. Don't interact with anyone. Don't have friends at that school. You will only have one friend."
"Just one? Who? Saria?"
"Her name is Cristhela. She will attend your school next academic year. She is the first daughter of the "Dragon" Royal family."
"The "Dragon" Royal family... They are known for attracting bad luck... Or so the rumors say."
"That rumor is false, don't worry... Unfortunately, that rumor has caused her to have no friends. She is always alone... She has enormous potential. Become her friend... You might even fall in love with her."
"Being her friend, huh? Alright, I'll do as you say... I accept, master."
"I think we need to train more. Classes end in two months. Ask your parents for permission to train with me during the holidays. Please hide the fact that I am a God."
"I will, master."
And so began a new stage in Drei's life, being personally trained by the supreme God and earning the envy of the Gods.
Time passed, and Drei returned to school.
"I missed school," he said, smiling.
As he walked, the girls couldn't stop looking at him.
Drei grew 7 centimeters taller, and his face became more attractive.
He caught the attention of many girls in his school, but he was only interested in one.
"I wonder how she will be."
Cristhela, his future friend, and possibly his girlfriend.
The first classes ended, and Drei headed to the cafeteria.
Several girls invited him to eat, but he rejected them. The supreme God told him not to have friends, and he obeyed. Many people, including Saria, tried to talk to him, but he ignored them and didn't speak to anyone, respecting his master's orders.
"Not having friends is harder than I thought."
He bought lunch and headed to the tables.
All of them were full, except one.
At a table, there was a girl eating alone.
Her hair was white and short, her eyes were blue, and she was somewhat cute—not excessively beautiful, but not ugly either. She was above average, at least. And she was a bit flat... Well, too flat. In that world, she was considered ugly, but Drei didn't care about that at all.
Her expression was cold. She seemed emotionless... But to Drei, she looked like a sad girl.
"Cristhela," he thought.
He approached her.
"You must be kind and polite. The master told you to be good, Drei... A good boy," he thought.
He stood in front of her table.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
"Huh? Do you want to sit here?" Cristhela said, confused, as he was the first person to talk to her at school since everyone ignored her.
"Can't I?"
"You... don't know me, right?"
"Yes, I know you, but I'm not an idiot. I don't believe in those rumors. Can I join you?"
"S-sure."
He sat at her table and smiled at her.
"Thank you."
And so, the friendship between Cristhela and Drei began, fueling the hatred and resentment of Saria, which brought satisfaction to the supreme God.

"These are great drawings," Terkiana said.
"You're talented, nya."
"I can even imagine it," Treka said.
"Ouch. I've never had sex with Kei using that hole. Will it feel good? Kei, use my hole tonight!" Nerka said.
The girls were looking at the drawings made by Drin, to show them who Seiya is, Kei's new concern.
She hid the forbidden book because she knew Kei would take it away from her, so Drin made a new book to make Kei think he got rid of it and not suspect that she's hiding another one.
And she uses that book to show the drawings she made to the others.
Kei visited the secret base to find out what they will do with Seiya. He reflected and concluded that he can't make decisions alone. They are a team, and decisions are made as a team.
Of course, they were gathered around the table, but no one was paying attention to Kei.
"Hey, hey! This is uncomfortable! I only have 10 free minutes! What should we do about Seiya?"
"It's your decision, nya."
"His social and economic power would be of great help," Terkiana said.
"We don't need more money. What we earn in the guild is enough," replied Kei.
"And her influence? Maybe we can use it to protect you in the future," Nerka said.
"We can have another base in his country," Mio suggested.
"But the main problem is that she is a man."
"I don't see a problem with that," they all said.
"My butt will remain intact! By the way, where is Nem?"
"She's cooking," Mio replied.
"I want to discuss the training. Right now, Nerka, Grisia, Nem, and Eris are the weakest in our group. I've decided to increase the difficulty of our training. I have prepared medicines, food, and drinks. We will train for 4 days in the 'Fate' dungeon. They will fight, and we will take care of helping them when they are in danger. Are you all in agreement?"
"Sounds good," Mio said.
"Perfect..."
Kei felt a chill that filled his heart with fear.
"This feeling..."
He stood up from the table.
"Something bad will happen... I can sense it."
And his fear would be more than justified in the future.

In the Dwarves' village, Zero met with a certain person.
A very important person.
A person who was supposed to be very good.
She was kind and cared about people.
Was she pretending to be good? No... She truly was kind... Perhaps her heart was corrupted... Or maybe not?
"Well, did you do what I asked you to?"
"Yes. The false information has already been distributed. We can start in 3 months."
"Perfect... And what about the hero Sepgrar? What happened to her?"
"I managed to kill her without any problems."
"Excellent work, Frima."
"I'm leaving. I have work to do."
Frima, the hero, disappeared, and Zero smiled.
"Humans are so stupid."
