(On the Train)
The Train moved further away from the Transport Station at the speed of a normal bullet with multiple of its armored carts having multiple bullet holes torn into the metal walls. Just a glance that it's not a normal gun was being used as the train's metal is made out of the shell of an <A+> Rank Monster, Charybdis.
Inside, numerous guards and workers screamed at the top of their lungs for help as they were each picked off one by one.
Two guards stood in front of a door that reached to the Steam Engine Room with powerful magic weapons drawn out, both looking frantically in front of them facing at the door that leads to the next cart where the noise of chaos coming from.
"Du-Dude, did they take care of the intruder?" One asked shakily while his partner glanced silently into the door where all the sounds of chaos stopped.
Suddenly, the door automatically opens and before the two B-rank experts could react, a red figure came flying at them and with no time to realize, they were both somehow flung through the door and into the Steam Engine Room before the light could enter their vision when they opened their eyes at the same time.
Startled by the sudden noise, the two train drivers turned around to see a man in a red and white jacket standing there in the doorway with a grin on his face.
"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Vanoss said in a Spongebob tone.
But then to his shock, he noticed the two train drivers didn't look surprised and instead looked very high with a large blue magical dust in the table at the center of the room.
"Oh boy, who said you can use drugs in the middle of the job?" Vanoss smiled mockingly.
"Heyyy... it's Jung Kook!" One of them yelled angrily while he is very high on the magic drugs.
"Yeahhh, you and that shitty K-Pop "Big Testicle Shit" (BTS) crew of yours sucks! Your fucking music and dances are so cringe and sucks dick!" His partner yelled before running at Vanoss only to be punched square in the face before falling back.
The man that was being pushed back accidentally hit his partner who also got pushed like a chain reaction, he moved backward till he accidentally fell against the control panels and the train suddenly started to grow speed rapidly till it reached faster than a Fighter Jet.
The previous opponent of Evan stood back up and tried to run at him this time he had a knife, which didn't do that much as Evan effortlessly grabbed the knife with two fingers, forced it above his head and kicked him in the stomach, knocking the air out of him, including a small specks of blue dust towards Evan who is unaware of being hit.
After literally letting the air out of his lungs within an instant, he was pushed back and sent to the floor unconscious.
"Moral of this story, kids. Don't do drugs." Vanoss simply said to the readers before standing in the doorway and as he was about to leave, he threw something in the room.
"Here's a present." He said while starting to move back, taking out something from his Inventory revealing to be the Spatial Dagger.
Halting his steps in the middle of the room, Vanoss then moved his hand in an X movement, using the Spatial Dagger to literally tear space in front of him.
After cutting the fabric of space, creating a rift, he then turned around and flipped them off.
"Tell El Douchebag to go fuck himself!" Vanoss shouted before turning back to the rift and ready to jump, but before he recalled something. "Wait a minute, what's the time did Brian set on the bomb? That little good for nothi-"
*BOOOOOM!*
Cutting his words off, a powerful explosion enough to rival the Hydrogen Bomb exploded, destroying the entire train, the forest, and clearing the whole sky's clouds.

(Unknown Location)
Then, the scene changes to a young male in dark skin and red hair walking towards the bow of an airship and leaning on the rail guards to observe the beautiful scenery below.
Before long, three beautiful women, one with the most beauty appeared to have dark hair and green eyes, the second has blue hair and eyes with one horn on her forehead and lastly a pink hair cat demi-human who's age is no means at 15, and when everybody looks at her, you could feel some kuudere vibes.
There, the three joined him.
"Are you excited master?" The dark hair beauty asked with a soft smile.
"Just a bit. I have wanted to see Academy City for a long time." The young dark skinned boy said excitedly. Being called 'Master' by the woman could be his servant which he is definitely royalty.
"Well, it looks like one of your dreams is about to come true, Glenn," Says the blue-haired girl.
The red haired boy named Glenn nodded with a smile.
Thanks to this airship, they only needed one week to arrive in Academy City that is far north outside the continent of Fordalt. Finally, he was about to arrive at the place where his dream was going to start.
"I just hope nothing happens during the trip," He said with a wry smile.
What he did not see, though, was his servant named Camilla furrowing her brows slightly before nodding.
"I hope so too."
As the four look at the horizon, the young pink-haired cat demi-human kuudere girl said to the rest, pointing her fingers at the sky.
"Hey guys, what's that?" She asked as she looked from the three, pointing her finger at the sky which surprisingly had little lights that resembled a firework.
"Oh yeah, it looks kinda beautiful." The cute demon-like waifu yelled and pointed to a sudden bright light that suspiciously like flames and because of the echoed explosion.
"Yan Ling, I don't think those are fireworks." The dark-haired woman named Camilla said with a serious look. "Prince Glenn, stand back."
"I know." The dark skin boy named Glenn said as he drew a red glowing saber.
Then all of a sudden, a loud screech behind the young cat girl, she turned around and noticed a huge wild Owlbat headed towards her at bullet speed.
"Anya!" Her friends yelled out.
Just as the Owlbat's razor beak was about to slam into her, the cat girl evades its attack thanks to her fast reflexes.
Looking at the four, the Owlbat screeches with a deafening roar while the four all draw their weapons ready for the worse, the Owlbat also follows and is ready to unleash its unique skill.
Just as the creature was about to unleash it, a red and white blur smashed into the creature like a missile, creating a huge cloud of wooden dust that covered a huge space of the airship's decks.
They all stood in the cloud of dust confused about what just happened. First, there are weird looking fireworks in the sky, then a massive Owlbat appears out of nowhere and somehow enters without the airship defensive's notice and then some kind of attack hits the creature with no one who shot at it.
This was a weird Saturday night.
"Well... that was weird." The blue-haired girl named Yan Ling said.
The red headed boy, Glenn was slowly walking forward to the cat girl who was still in a daze and staring forward with a surprised expression.
"Anya, are you alright?" He asked as he put his hand on the girl's shoulder, making her blush in the process.
"Yeah, I'm fin-" Anya started until she saw a figure limping out of the same place where the Owlbat's spot was.
The figure was saying something inaudible to the four but it definitely hadn't seen or even noticed them.
"Damn it, my leg. Shhh... shit, that burns. I'm gonna kill Terroriser if I get diagnosed with cancer." The figure groaned while looking down on his legs, still not noticing the people behind him, "Now, where the hell am I?"
He asked himself and then, the magical mask Vanoss wore was torn off by the nuclear explosive, showing off his Owl features.
Instinctively, Glenn and his servant Camilla suddenly rushed forward with their weapons out and aimed to attack.
"Kill the Owlbat!" The servant, Camilla, yelled as she got even closer to strike with her two holy swords on her hands.
Her master, Glenn, bolted ahead with his friends to take down the Owl Bat as he brought out a red energy saber that crackles with red electricity. As he was about to swing down his weapon that is capable of killing an <A+> Rank even though he's just a <B> Rank expert.
But then, his Sage's eyes look at the figure perfectly through the dust cloud easily and realizes it was not an Owlbat but a panicked Owl Beastmen covered in blood, bruised and a few burns.
He was trying to move back, but it was too late as his blade was already half an inch away from the person's neck.
However...
An Enchanted Netherite Dragonslayer Sword appears from the Saber's path, repelling it, including all of the group's attacks.
"What the?"
"Baggots, no one will kill the Owl boy except us!" Appearing before them was the Black Swordsman himself, Marcel, who is wielding his Netherite Dragonslayer, behind him were the Banana Bus Crew.
"Marcel? Guys? Where the hell did you guys come from?" Vanoss asked in surprise.
"Idiot, don't forget we could TP each other, right?" Basically said to the obvious point.
"Wait, I thought Brian was the on-"
Cutting him off, Marcel yelled to the group that attacked Evan, "You little cunts, who do you think you are trying to harm our idiotic friend?"
Glenn wave both of his friend, trying to deny it, "We apologize, we thought his the Ow-"
This time, Nogla cuts him off, "We don't give a flying fuck of any of your reasons, shitheads. We are the Banana Bus boys, the greatest adventurers and mercenaries of Forknalt!"
"You dare to give my master with such words!? I will erase you from the face of the earth!" Camilla, being Glenn's servant, threatened the group as she summoned hundreds of holy energy weapons in the air.
"Bitch, that little threat doesn't compare when I will close you and your friend's Twitter account from the face of the world of Social Media!" Wildcat talks back with more threatening words, also summoning countless weapons from his Gates of Babylon.
"I guess these idiots want a few ice cold cans of whoop ass." Yan Ling said as she cracked her knuckles.
"Hey, I was about to say that in the future, you blue headed bitch!" Delirious yelled angrily.
"I don't know where to start to get angry but I feel I want to Pun this crap so badly :/ " Moo said.
"What's going on here?" Then, a young lion beastmen appeared to their side.
"Prince Simba? I thought you said you weren't coming." Anya said to the Prince of the Beastmen Empire.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?!??! DUDE I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!! I SAW YOU DIED!!!!!" Vanoss couldn't comprehend what he just saw. The same motherfucking rip-off character from the Lion King was alive in front of him.
"Guess what, dipshit, that monkey ass shaman resurrected me from the Dark Realm's sex dungeon! And the next time when I die, I'll take you with me!"
"I'm so confus-!!!"
"Silence!" Glenn shouted in a commanding tone, his voice silenced everyone in the ship. "Fine, if you don't forgive my mistake, then I think we should solve this with the old fashion way." Glenn said with a serious look. Some of his friends nodded and smiled sadistically.
Moving forward till his in front of the Vanoss Crew, Wildcat replied back with a serious and determined look, "Agreed..."
Then, both sides moved backwards, looking at each other seriously with Nogla cracking his neck, Delirious shaking his hands and Moo raising both of his fists ready for the battle to the death.
(A/n: Kinda difficult and my first time to describe the dance moves, it is very similar like this)
Then, to Evan's confusion that he expects blood and gore, Glenn began to do some dance moves or something, including the beginning of the Footloose music around him.
*Clap!*
Clapping once, he put his right foot forward and back and then continued the moves.
Then the next moment, Wildcat in the front follows, Vanoss steps back in confusion, the dance continues between the two before they both spin and clap.
(🎶Been working so hard,
I'm punching my card🎶)
"Get him, Tyler!" Delirious shouted.
(🎶Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got🎶)
Following Glenn, his teammates followed his moves in sync.
"Tyler, what the hell are you doin?" Vanoss leaned in to Tyler and whispers to him, still couldn't understand what is happening right now.
"Protecting our honor, bro." Tyler replied in a weird tone before continuing his dance.
Vanoss heaved a sigh, "Fuck it."
(🎶I gotten this feeling
That time's just holding me down🎶)
Playing along, Vanoss and the crew follow Tyler's lead and dance, syncing with their enemy teams.
Now doing the spins and claps, everybody tiptoeing backwards and Evan couldn't help but feel great about this.
"Holy shit, we're doing this!" He said, never in his life was involved in a Dancing Queen scene in a Mama Mia movie or Dora and the Lost City of Gold dance ending scene type of bullshit.
(🎶I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town!🎶)
As the dance fight continued, the two opposite teams at the same time turned back, ran and kicked, turned around then kicked while holding their hips before clapping and doing a pose.
(🎶Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me up off my knees🎶)
Next, both teams switch sides and do it again in a playful manner.
(🎶Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose🎶)
Next, both teams formed a line in the side of the airship and hops to the left playfully.
The scene then cuts inside the ship, showing Camilla in the center, Yan Ling in the right and Vanoss in the left walking through the halls in a fashionable way.
(🎶(Oh-oh-oh-oh) cut footloose
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) cut footloose
We got to turn you around
(Second) you put your feet on the ground
(Third) now take a hold of your soul🎶)
Scene instantly shifted to Vanoss walking back at a fast pace surrounded by four people, as he is in the center, both five jumped, Vanoss crouches down and twirls his head, followed by four other people.
Then numerous scenes shifted to everyone dancing in different ways, both impressive, weird, strange, and could get a Gold button from America's Got Talent.
(🎶Everybody cut footloose
Footloose (footloose), footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me up off my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues🎶)
Summoning an Elemental creature from Moo, he made it as a disco ball as the entire Airship became a party, with both teams mixed in different two lines.
In the middle, Vanoss and Simba faced each other, both dancing in a perfect sync before posing and looking upwards at the same time before locking their arms and moving in a circle.
Wildcat and Camilla do the Beauty and the Beast dance but in speedrun.
Next is Basically and Glenn, both black mens dancing at each other before they do the Dragonball fusion pose then back off, point their fingers and nodded at each other.
Then Nogla and Anya turn with the moves, after their previous move, they spinned and one of them does a roundhouse kick while the other ducks, when Nogla's turn, his kick sucks ass.
Next is Delirious and Yan Ling, with Yan Ling touches Delirious' chin with her finger while he spins his arms before the blue headed girl flicks her finger and sends Delirious to the floor, creating a crater in the process.
"Ow!"
Then lastly is Terroriser who is somehow present right now, this time he is alone and literally does the Kazotsky Kick dance before doing robot dance next surrounded by everyone cheering for the irish cyborg.
(🎶Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut...🎶)
Then next is both teams doing the conga with Vanoss in the lead with everyone wearing Mexican hats.
As they continued to Conga, Vanoss' vision began to blur all of a sudden, but he didn't mind.
However, it gets even worse.
(🎶Everybody cUt fOoTlooSeEe...
Shooking his head, Vanoss began to realize he was still in the clouds of dust and his injuries from the nuclear blast he got blown.
"What the...?"
Couldn't understand for a moment, Vanoss had absolutely no idea what just happened. At first he, his friends and these young kids were dancing and having a great time for a moment but then the reality of his seeing began to crumble and a cloud of dust appeared.
Trying to understand, Vanoss couldn't even... wait a minute.
Ahhh, shit! He just remembered, he recalled the time when faced these two drug addicted dudes in the steam engine room, he punched one of them in the stomach, letting both of his air and a speck of the drugs hit him, resulting in Vanoss getting drugged as well.
So that means everything he is experiencing didn't even happen!
"Motherfuc-!"
"Kill the Owlbear!" Cutting him off was the familiar voice of that dark haired bitch and her energy weapons or some shit.
Appearing before Evan was the dark skin red headed boy with a magic saber ready to strike him down, and just like before, Glenn noticed he was not an Owlbear.
In an instant, Vanoss uses his skill [Everlasting Strike], slash his Netherite Katana horizontally.
*Shing!*
*Clang!* *Clang!* *Clang!*
Multiple loud clangs echoed the night at the exact same time with Evan repelling their attacks at once.
In the real world, Vanoss knows his friends were unaware his whereabouts which means he has to do it himself alone.
As they were pushed back, Vanoss fires five rounds from his Magic Glock towards Glenn who immediately swings his Saber and disintegrates the energy bullets without a trace.
But that distraction got Vanoss an opportunity to use the Johnny Cage special kick move, moving at the speed that not even the boy's special eyes could catch his movement speed.
In a blink of an eye, he kick the man's face before any of his defense skills automatically activated or his team's help.
He then spotted the pink hair catgirl suddenly does a shadow clone jutsu and both her and her clones attack him. Immediately, he pulled a one leter sized canister from his jacket, covered his eyes, put headphones into his ear and pressed a small button in the device.
Then...
*Bang!*
A loud, high pitched noise came with a bright light, both countless times louder and brighter than a normal flashbang which caused the Cat girl to trip and fall then turned his attention on the girl, a servant of the red headed dude.
Enraged that her master is injured by him, she shot out dozens of holy weapons flying towards Evan in a flash. Vanoss uses his sword to cut countless of the weapons but they are too fast and he didn't even notice one tiny dagger of light managed to stab his achilles.
"Ah, why always the achilles!" Evan yelled out in pain, dropping himself in one knee while Camilla attacked Vanoss at a blur.
Vanoss looked up and rolled away just in time to avoid a massive sword of light about the size of an Empire State Building coming down to him, only for it to cut down the front part of the airship, thankfully not damaging more of it or else it gets worse. Second of all, not only did she damage the airship, she also caused a twist in reality when she slashed down.
As Vanoss dodged that, he switched his sword and took out his second Magic Glock and fired both weapons at her which her holy weapons in the air automatically cut down any magic bullets headed towards her.
She quickly took advantage of him reloading his weapons only for a small fraction of a second and slashed at him which he tried to block with his guns but was soon cut straight in half.
"God damn it, who the hell are you?" Vanoss asked in annoyance.
"That's none of your concern, now put your weapons down!" Camilla commanded not seeing that he wasn't even paying attention.
"Fuck you!" Vanoss yelled as he ducked underneath her blade and jumped away from her a lot more quicker than the woman would have thought.
As she looked at him backing off, she suddenly sensed something, looking down, she saw a rectangle with two red lasers just at her feet giving off a small high pitch noise.
As Camilla looked up at the man he innocently smiled, in response she gave him a cold look.
*Boom!*
A violent explosion erupted in the area, as it cleared, there is Camilla who is standing there untouched.
She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh, "That little trick has no used an <A+> Rank like me, young ma-"
"[Falcon Punch!]"
Before the woman could react in time, Vanoss uses his Unique Skill on his bionic arm before slamming his metallic fist right on her face, immediately sending her flying near the stratosphere.
Vanoss backed up further away and looked around while doing prep time with his weapons only to hear a loud yell to his left.
"Give me a break. Bring it on, you disposable nutcase!"
With that, the blue headed girl leaped forward, ready to strike Evan down.
"Jacket, rip off Doctor Strange." Vanoss let loose his arms to allow his jacket to fly off towards the girl.
Just as the girl was dangerously close to Vanoss, the jacket wrapped itself around her, forcing her to remain mobile.
A few seconds passed as this continued, the girl eventually managed to muster enough strength to free herself from the jacket, tearing it to shreds with her B-rank strength.
"You bitch that's my only jacket!"
The one horned girl smiled. Clenching her fist, she took a step forward and unleashed a punch in Evan's direction!
But he easily evaded the attack. He twisted his body slightly, avoiding the girl's attack by a paper-thin margin difference and using that opportunity to attack her.
Suddenly, though, Vanoss' expression changed.
A powerful impact hit his right flank, sending him flying away. That was the place where he had avoided her attack!
"What the...?" Vanoss' eyes opened wide. What kind of technique did she use?
"[Silent Touch]!"
And as expected, the same situation repeated several times. Yan Ling unleashed punch after punch, hitting Vankss. But even when he avoided her attacks, somehow the impact still managed to reach him!.
It was as though he was attacked by an invisible hit.
However, with their rank gaps huge, Vanoss is only slightly injured with every impact.
"Stop resisting!" Said the blue headed girl trying to land a hit at Evan at incredible speed.
"Oh yeah? Do you want my license as well?" He said sarcastically as he felt the blue haired girl trying harder to point her fist at him in order to let her skill do the job.
Before she could make a move, Evan jumped and kick her in the face one last time, as he did, he pulled out his third magic gun and his RPG, aiming his back to show the red headed boy in red armor aiming a big ass magic red gun on his hand, beside him is a bus sized wolf about to shoot a huge red ball of electricity from its mouth.
Both owner and pet pointed their weapons right at him.
The three lay there, pointing weapons at each other in a standoff, glaring with both of them being completely out of breath.
*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*
"Bravo, that was quite entertaining to see, bravo." A woman's voice said accompanied by small claps.
Everyone turned their heads looking a little bit of a surprise except for Vanoss.
"Ms. Wave, what are you doing here?" Glenn asked the Dragonoid, still pointing his and his pet's weapons at Vanoss.
Wave chuckled, "Just to retrieve my favorite employee of the month, and sorry if he does hurt any of you."
"Who said I'm your employee?" Evan muttered.
"No, we're sorry ma'am, we thought it's an Owlbat that attacked us back then."
"I see that." Wave said while looking at the group and the surroundings that seem to have a war going on.
"Were you the Academy City's Headmistress' servant I presume?" This time, the woman that has the power rivaling Vanoss asked as she flew back to the airship using [Fly].
Wave nodded, "Of course."
Meanwhile, Vanoss turns his head looking at the woman he fought earlier, he recalls the way she is mad at him, it kinda reminds him of a certain someone and laughs which brought unwanted attention to himself.
"What are you laughing at, young man? Looking at me seems to see something funny about me?" The dark haired woman said with a hostile tone and summoned a few floating swords of light in the air.
"Ms. Camilla, don't be hostile with my employee, he's always like this." Wave said, and like that Camilla despawned her weapons.
"Alright, I think your conversations are over, you kids, you can go anywhere in this ship while the adults are talking privately.
Standing up as his injuries were already regenerating at a fast rate, Evan headed straight towards Wave.
"Wait, aren't you the same age as Glenn?" The blue haired girl asked.
"Girl, I'm in my 30s, you should know that you can use your own mana to keep your youth and young features, remember?" Vanoss said that the words he said are not true but it's actually a fact.
"Oh..."
Turning from these kids, Evan went back to Wave's direction with a stern look while the other smiled and gave off a flowery aura.
"Okay you lizard bitch, you were here because your boss expected me here, right? I got all of the Items your boss wanted. If she has other plans, whatever she has in mind, just tell me already I don't have all day as I have other shit to deal with."
"Chill down, Evan, you know we don't break promises, and you are correct that my boss has other plans for you. You and your friends have to enroll in her academy and become students there."
"Academy City? That big ass floating island outside the continent I've heard about?" Vanoss asked, looking more surprised than before, "What is that female Kang the Conqueror plan letting us enroll in her academy?"
"Her enemies, which are also your enemies, are making a move. If you accept, you can experience better than your little schools back in your world, and my boss will fulfill what she promised."
"Hm, that peaks my interest."
"So, Mr. Vanoss, will you consider my offer?" Wave asked.
"I'll need to ask my friends but I'm all for it." Vanoss said while trying to get his smashed phone to work.
"What happened to your communication artifact?" Wave raised an eyebrow at the damaged device.
Vanoss laughed, "The blue girl smashed it with her skill, Silence Touching or something. I don't know what the hell it was, but who were they anyway?"
"New students that were about to enroll to the Academy, the red headed boy is the Crowned Prince Glenn from the Kingdom of Jermanian, his servant Camilla, an A-rank guardian of the Prince of Jermanian who is actually a sentient Golem. Princess Yan Ling, first born from the Eastern Yan Dynasty. And lastly Anya, the third princess from the Lunaquess Kingdom."
"Wait, so they're all Royal blood?"
"Yes, and fun fact..." Leaning to Evan, Wave whispers to him in a teasing tone, "Literally all of the beauties over there are the young man's harem."
"Goodness gracious, did I accidentally land in a Rom-com anime, am I?"
"The what?"
"Forget that, I'm a bit envious of that lucky son of a bitch."
"Agreed."
"Second of all, are they gonna be part of the plot? If it's true, then is it our turn to be side characters? Because that boy is a good description of the main protagonist."
"Not really, they are just cameos of a parallel version of the main characters from the original story that the Author reads."
"I see, what a relief..." For a brief silence, Vanoss asked as he looked around him, "Wave, I just need to know one thing."
"Yes, ask me anything." She said, watching Vanoss look at the forest, villages and towns below the airship, using his hands as his binoculars.
"Where the hell am I?"
