Chapter 17: First real fight
After that, a few days passed, apparently that Junichi guy was discharged, from what I heard through rumors he was found lying outside the school with his face completely deformed from so many blows, although I have an idea of who it could have been that hit him I preferred to stay quiet, besides I had no obligation to that guy, much less sympathy.
My first days at school went by without any problem, I casually talked with Momioka and Sawada, although they always threw perverted comments at me I played along with their jokes.
I usually spend my time talking to Kato, we are already at the point where we do not use honorifics and on several other occasions I talk to Sairenji, as now I am taking my studies more seriously I asked her to recommend some books to me, besides sometimes she helps me with my studies, not for nothing is she one of the best students in the first year.
As for Yukana, since that day she has taken the initiative to talk to me, although I haven't talked to her as much as I do with Kato and Sairenji.
And the rest of the time I go out to spend time with Shuu and Raku, the three of us became good friends, at first I invited Rito, but for some strange reason lately he has become somewhat gloomy, and when I see him harassing Sairenji he always puts on a rather strange expression. As for Onodera and Miyamoto I also talk to them quite often, now they are very good friends of Kato, they have even gone shopping together.
For the moment I decided not to get too involved with the characters of other classes, although I am somewhat curious to meet Gouda Takeo the protagonist of an anime called Oremonogatari, although it is true that it is another daily life anime of romance and humor, I have to admit that he is the strongest human I have seen so far, and it is not because he practices martial arts, thanks to the appraisal skill I was able to know that he is like the characters of Baki it seems that he was also born with a special body, also from what I remember from the anime he was a pretty nice guy.
As for my SAO novel, things have been going pretty well, the number of visits only increases more each day that passes, I have even been receiving several proposals to turn it into a light novel, but so far they have been proposals from small publishers, I am waiting for the big fish, I have also been practicing my drawing skills, although it took me some time to get used to it I was able to make some incredible illustrations of the SAO characters, I uploaded a few sketches to the page to use as advertising and the number of visits increased even more.
So far this week I haven't received any new rewards from the system, in the end it's just as I thought at first, when there were no more normal achievements to do I would eventually receive less rewards, at this point it seems that I'm really going to have to get into the plots somehow to receive quality rewards.
Of course I haven't neglected my training, although because of classes I have less time, I always make sure to train in the morning and in the afternoon, although one day I left it free to go out and have fun with Raku and Shuu, it's incredible how I feel more comfortable having them as friends than Rito.
And that's how the week of classes has passed, now I find myself in the training room, lately something has been worrying me.

---------------------------------------------------------
What worries me is my status, over the days it has changed in some things, now I have a new title that makes one day of the week have a really absurd luck, and believe me I already checked it, It was two days ago, I was just walking and suddenly a suitcase full of several million yen fell from the sky, worried I went to report it, but there was no record and in the end they gave it to me, I even had one of the famous perverted accidents of Rito with Aya-sensei and also one with Yukana, that was a pretty crazy day full of several inexplicable events.
Another thing that also changed with my status is that now in the statistics section my level also appears, at first I didn't pay much attention to it, but the last few days I've noticed that no matter how much I train my parameters no longer increase and if they do it's only one or two points, I've increased gravity and I've also learned a lot of fighting styles, but no matter what I do my overall strength doesn't increase, the only thing that has been going up is my intelligence.
The conclusion I came to is that 60 points is probably the limit I can reach with my level 3, if I want it to increase I have to level up, it's a bit like Danmachi's stats, in that story the limit for all parameters was 999 (Although the protagonist showed that this limit could be broken if they continuously fought monsters stronger than them).
Also, even though I've gotten pretty strong, I still don't think I'm at the level of Baki and Yuujirou, the only advantage I have against them are the different martial arts I've learned, the strong shoulders and swords from SAO, and I've tried to release Demon Face, but no matter what I do I can't, in the end the only answer I can come up with is that...
I'm missing having real fights...
The ones I've had so far can't even be called fights, that was just me throwing punches, but the problem is that I don't think there are normal people who can give me a fight, I'm kind of tempted to fight the Galala Crocodile that they gave me as a reward, but I don't think I'll be able to defeat it with my current level, the only way I see of being able to defeat it is by using Elucidator and Dark Repulser.
The capture level is the numerical grade given to dangerous beasts and different types of ingredients in the world of Toriko, generally the levels go from 1 to 100 and beyond that are the immeasurable level, at level 1 at least 10 professional hunters are needed. The Galala Crocodile is a dangerous beast with a capture level 8, to defeat it at least 80 professional hunters are needed, it is a rare variant of the anime because generally that crocodile is level 5.
Although Toriko was able to defeat him relatively easily, I doubt I can do it, luckily apart from his speed, strength and weight, he has nothing else, if I could find a way to get close enough and attack him with Elucidator and Dark Repulser it might be possible to defeat him, but it is very risky, I should try at least when my level reaches 5 and my parameters are at maximum and if I am able to defeat him at that time only then will I ingest the Gourmet Cells.
While I was thinking of different ways to level up, suddenly like a lightning bolt my danger sensor detected a signal, since I have it activated every day, now its range is incredibly wide and it is very accurate to identify hostile feelings that are directed against me or other people, although it is far from being as reliable as Kenbunshoku Haki it is one of the most useful skills I have now.
What I detected with her, is one of the most hostile presences I have felt to date, although it is quite far from my house, it is definitely on the outskirts of Sainan, it feels like it is a cluster of pure malice, it is a rather unpleasant sensation, it was definitely not a human being.
After standing in my spot for a few more minutes, I decided to go see what this presence was, no matter how you look at it, it was too dangerous to leave it free in a city as peaceful as this one, although in the story of To Love-Ru it was shown that there were several aliens in Sainan at the end they were all represented as funny beings.
Kenichi: "Well, if the situation is too dangerous I can always run away with the disappearance skill I got from Kato, I still don't know much about this world, I can't act recklessly until I'm completely sure how strong this thing I'm detecting is"
After taking off my training weights and putting on lighter clothes, I quickly left the house, with my current speed it took me only a few minutes to get to the location.
It was a fairly isolated area full of abandoned factories, from what I remember this is the kind of place where criminals usually gather, that's why no one comes near these places.
A little before arriving I approached slowly and decreased my presence as much as I could, this is a basic skill that the ninjas of the Naruto world have, by controlling my breathing and my muscle movements, I used all the objects in my environment to go unnoticed.
For some reason when I replicated some techniques from other worlds I didn't receive any reward, I wonder if there is some necessary criteria for that, well apart from stealth and combat techniques, most of Naruto's techniques are done with Chakra, even if I try to learn them it will be useless.
The closer I got, the malice intensified more and more, when I was only about 50m away I hid and finally the presence I was feeling became visible.
???: "Kekekekeke... I escaped to a somewhat remote place, but it's definitely outside of that bitch Gremory's territory... I don't think they'll follow me to this place... On the other hand, I sense quite a few beings in this city... Kekeke... I'm already looking forward to devouring them whole, especially the girls... Just imagining their pleading expressions while I impregnate them with my essence... Only to end up decapitating them... Haaa... Just imagining it already makes me feel hot... Plus it seems that there are no other Demonic presences in this city... And apparently it's not protected by any other supernatural being either..."
???: "Just wait for me you damn Gremory brat... I'm going to slowly consume all the pathetic humans in this city and then I'm coming back for you... Kekeke... Just imagining that elegant and arrogant appearance of yours completely stained by my essence like some random bitch makes me hard... And of course I haven't forgotten about that other bitch who was with you... Some parts of me still hurt from the rays she attacked me with... Plus that blonde swordsman and that little girl... Just wait for me... You're definitely going to feel my revenge to the depths of your being... Kekeke... I'm going to have a lot of fun with you before I kill you..."
Well, I don't think I need that much research to know who he is, the big mouth practically just revealed everything necessary... When I did a little research I already knew that in this world there was also a city called Khuo located near the Kanto regions, currently the city of Sainan is quite close to Tokyo, so it's at least an hour away by car.
But I still wasn't sure if High School DxD was also part of this world, but the existence of this thing and the fact that it's been cursing a girl named Gremory for a while now just confirmed everything for me.
Kenichi: (Shit... That means that apart from aliens, this world is also full of all kinds of supernatural beings like Angels, Devils and Gods, at least I confirmed that there's no Fuyuki City here, that at least eased my worries a bit...)
High School DxD isn't better than Type-Moon either, from what I remember from that story there were always stupid and perverted guys who wanted to destroy the world for some stupid reason, plus almost all the supernatural beings see humans as nothing more than food or slaves, the usual jokes of the stupid protagonist named Hyoudou Issei generally made one see it as a funny story, but in reality it had a rather dark background story.
From what I know about High School DxD, this guy must be a "Stray Devil", in the story the Devils created a power system called Evil Pieces that is based on the game of chess, each piece has its own qualities and also serve to turn other Devils into your servants and are even capable of reincarnating beings of other races into Devils, from what I understand the Devils that rebel against the will of their master are known as "Stray Devil", apparently when they rebel the Evil Piece inside them corrupts them to the point that they become Monsters with quite grotesque appearances, they are generally annihilated before they become a threat.
Exactly like this guy in front of me, he was quite big, had a veiny and corpulent appearance with disgusting green skin, plus it was quite difficult to determine his gender, for some reason he had a man's voice, but he had woman's breasts and he was bare, and he also moved on all fours like an animal, honestly it was quite unpleasant, it was like that female Devil called Viser that appeared in the DxD anime, she even had a ridiculous ability that made her throw acid from her nipples, but this Devil is even more grotesque.
???: "Kekekeke... I can feel it... The scent of all the bitches living here... I'm going to have a lot of fun corrupting them with my seed, as for the men... I'm going to have a lot of fun with them too... Kekekeke... It's going to take me some time, but killing a few hundred pathetic humans won't be a problem"
Kenichi: "You speak quite badly of humans for just a filthy rat who can't do anything unless he hides in the shadows"
*Narrator's POV*
When Kenichi spoke the Stray Devil immediately jumped, for a moment he thought that the members of the Gremory clan had chased him to Sainan City, but the moment he saw Kenichi the nervousness he felt immediately turned into a mocking expression.
???: "Kekeke... For a moment you scared me, I thought you were one of those Devils of the Gremory... But who would have thought that a pathetic human would come willingly to my territory... You want me to desecrate you so much until I break you"
Upon hearing this, Kenichi only smiled back.
Kenichi: "Not at all, I just felt an unpleasant presence, I came to see out of curiosity and look what I found, it's nothing more than a bunch of talking meat trying to conspire as if it were the big deal, hiding in this filthy place like a sewer rat"
The Devil began to tremble while his body formed more and more veins that bulged in a deformed way.
???: "Y-You dared... YOU DARE TO MAKE FUN OF MY BEAUTIFUL FIGURE!!"
Kenichi: "You're sure you looked in a mirror, from what I understand your kind have a shape quite similar to that of humans, but you on the other hand, look as if your mother had abandoned you as a child because of your ugly face and shortly after a truck had run over you and in the end you ended up receiving the vomit of a homeless person"
The Stray Devil could no longer say a single word, he was so furious that even the veins that were bulging began to bleed.
???: "Now you asked for it, you filthy one... I'm going to torture you and then I'm going to do the same with all your relatives... Rest assured that you won't have a pleasant death."
After saying that, the Stray Devil raised his arm and was ready to attack Kenichi, first he was going to attack his legs and then he was going to slowly tear off his arms with the intention of causing him more pain, but just before he did, Kenichi's figure disappeared from his sight and like a flash he appeared right in front of the Stray Devil.
The Stray Devil couldn't believe what he was seeing, with his enhanced vision the movements of a simple human like Kenichi should have been easy to perceive, but before he realized it, Kenichi's fist was just a few centimeters from his face, and like the impact of a shotgun, his fist hit his face with great force, despite having a huge body he flew several meters as if nothing had happened.
In those few seconds Kenichi used the Nyko Style, Flame Kata: Raging Fire, which is a movement technique that is performed after firmly digging his toes into the ground, allowing him to accelerate to an unthinkable speed and when the Stray Devil was within his reach, he hit him with Nyko Style, Adamantine Kata: Inronbreaker a punch enhancement technique that is performed while tensing and tightening the muscles of the hands and feet, this produces a devastating attack capable of easily destroying large rocks as if they were exploding, with Kenichi's strength that was several times superior to that of other people that movement and attack were much more destructive.
The Niko style of Kengan was one of Kenichi's favorites because it was much more flexible than other styles, it had several attack, movement and defense techniques, they could even be combined to produce even more devastating attacks. While it is possible that the Kenga universe was inferior to Baki's in fighting level, but the flexibility of the techniques that Kengan characters used were far superior, if characters with great raw power like Yuujirou used them they would be unstoppable.
???: "Y-YOU SON OF A BITCH!! HOW DARE YOU HIT MY BEAUTIFUL FACE!!? DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!! I AM THE GREAT-!!"
Without giving him time to speak, Kenichi came at him again with Raging Fire, but this time before hitting he used the Nyko Style, Flame Kata: Flashfire to move leaving afterimages as he surrounded the Stray Devil, and then a rain of powerful blows fell upon him like an avalanche from all directions.
The Stray Devil who didn't even have time to say his name began to get nervous, despite having a body full of nerves that acted as a powerful defense he could feel how his muscles and bones were beginning to be crushed by Kenichi's powerful blows.
???: (Y-You have to be kidding me... N-Not even the blows from that brat from the Gremory clan hurt as much as these, and what's wrong with those movements, I can't keep up with them at all and when I attack for some reason my attacks only hit the air)
This Stray Devil, although he was considered a low-class Devil, his defense was at the level of high-class Devils, he could even resist the combined attacks of all of Rias Gremory's Peerage, although in the end he was forced to flee due to the numerical difference, if he had fought individually or at least against just two he would have easily won, his great defense even withstood the attack of the Thunder Priestess and the Crimson-haired Princess of the Ruins, but for some strange reason against Kenichi's powerful attacks his reliable defense was completely useless.
The Stray Devil, fed up with being hit, threw a punch at Kenichi, but inexplicably the next second he was flying through the sky until he hit the ground face first with a great impact.
When the Devil hit Kenichi, he redirected his movement with Nyko Style, Redirection Kata: Weeping Willow, a movement that involves seeing and manipulating the flow of power, using minimal movements to divert the enemy's attacks against him.
Although the Stray Devil was not very strong, Kenichi felt that if he was hit by a few of his blows he would end up seriously injured, so he took the initiative throughout the fight and did not give him any chance to breathe, taking advantage of the fact that the Stray Devil was lying on the ground, Kenichi once again used Ironbreaker by impacting his powerful fist on the Stray Devil's face against the ground, the attack was devastating, even the surroundings trembled slightly from the impact.
Just as he was about to end the fight, he received a sudden impact from his left side that he managed to block with his left arm but still pushed him a few meters away, when Kenichi looked, it turned out that the Wandering Devil had grown a tail that he didn't have at the beginning of the fight.
???: "M-Damn... H-Human... D-Don't underestimate a... D-Devil..."
Even though he attacked, the Stray Devil was barely standing, his supposedly beautiful face was in shambles, even one of his eyes was out of its socket, all his teeth were shattered and he had a deep fist mark on his right cheek.
???: (W-Why are this son of a bitch's attacks affecting me so much... I-I'm sure he's just an ordinary human without a shred of magic... Judging by his attacks he shouldn't have a Sacred Gear either... Then how is he so strong!)
The Stray Devil in his time as a servant had fought against a large number of high-class Devil, and although he was weaker he had been able to overwhelm them all thanks to his powerful defense, he had full confidence in it, but his most valuable weapon didn't work, this only served to frustrate and humiliate the Devil even more.
The Devils, while it was not an attack based on holy energy, had great resistance against magical attacks, even those who fought with their fists enhanced them with magic, but Kenichi's attacks were different, he did not have a single bit of magic, they were only destructive power born from brute force and technique, that's why they were very effective against the Stray Devil, his defense was more oriented to protect from magical attacks than pure physical attacks.
???: (Damn... Damn... Damn... At this rate he's going to kill me... I can be calm if another Devil kills me... But how can I bear the humiliation of being defeated by a simple human... At least I was able to break his arm... Now I just have to find a chance to escape)
But just as he thought that, he was surprised to see Kenichi slowly raise his broken arm into the air and hear his bones clicking as he repositioned his arm and waved it as if he hadn't received any damage.
At that moment Kenichi used the Nyko Style, Adamantine Kata, Ultimate Technique: Bone Binding, a technique that through precise and delicate muscle control, can move part of his muscles to support the broken bone.
Since he mocked the Stray Devil, this is the first time Kenichi has spoken.
Kenichi: "I honestly feel somewhat grateful to you, you were just the kind of opponent I was looking for, you have a lot of strength and above all great resistance, but out of pity you are a being that plans to hurt the people of this peaceful city who only want to have normal lives, that is why I have to defeat you... Perhaps for a being of your Race it is something humiliating to be defeated by a human, but as a sign of respect for your strength, I will give my all in the next attack"
When the Stray Devil heard Kenichi's words he could not help but tremble exaggeratedly, in that brief moment he had a premonition, in Kenichi's next attack, he was going to...
Die...
He wanted to flee, but his legs did not listen to him...
He tried to plead, but the voice did not come out of his mouth...
This time Kenichi used Raging Fire again but now he also included the Quicksilver ability that increased his speed by 30% for a minute, if before he was fast now His movement completely shattered the pavement with a tremendous impact, when he was again just centimeters from the Stray Devil's face he could see the fear reflected in his eyes, but he still didn't stop.
With an intensity many times greater than the previous one he launched a Nyko Style, Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker: Chain which was a succession of the same blow repeatedly but this time he also included the Strong Shoulders Quirk.
Kenichi: "ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!"
Like the characteristic Stand of a certain protagonist, his blows were on a completely different level than the previous ones, the Stray Devil felt those few seconds as an eternity in which his entire body began to deform more and more by the almost infinite amount of powerful and destructive blows.
When Kenichi finally finished his relentless attack, there was almost nothing left of the Stray Devil's body, just a pile of guts and entrails scattered across the ground.
