The Saint's Trial: Can He Resist Their Charm!?

"I wonder what I received from this Super Gacha."

Hiroto looked at the ball that is shimmers in multicolored light. He was excited to know whether he got something absurd or something that he knew.

While gulping audibly, he mentally tapped on the multicolored ball. After a few seconds, a green light suddenly bursts out of the opened multicolored ball and showed the thing that is hidden within.

What he saw inside the ball was a jade colored marble. He was dumbfounded and thought that he was scammed by the Super Gacha.

'Ahh!! Don't tell me it was just a hoax?!'

But then, he heard the familiar notification sound.

›[You gained the |Panda Reality Realm(Jade Colored Limited Edition)|!]

He was shocked by this notification and immediately used his |Appraise| skill to check what this marble really is. And what he saw, shocked him to the core.

"Eeehhhh?! Isn't this realm thingy too broken?!" he bellowed.

‹Calm down, Hiro. Besides, it isn't much right now since it's still sealed. But I'm sure this will help you with accelerating your training time! Although, it would slightly distort your few of time,› Ariel said.

"Haaa, our first 2 days in this world is full of hectic happenings! I swear, I'm gonna relax a bit when this horned rabbit and Vorpal rabbit case is over," Hiroto said. He is quite worn out by the sudden events that happened to him. Although he is quite excited when he learned that he can be reincarnated to another world, reality is still hard to accept. He is just showing a tough front right now because his girlfriend, Saeko, needs someone to rely on right now.

It might be true that he has an abundance of life experience because he lived 2, no, 3 lives now. But he is still a 14 year old. Even an a.d.u.l.t would panic when was suddenly told that he can live a new life at another world, much less a teenager like him.

Even though he still can't figure out what their future plans is, he set that thought aside for now and decided to talk about it with Saeko.

"Now, for this Vorpal rabbit. I should use this newly acquired spell to get rid of her curse, right?" he asked Ariel for confirmation.

‹Yes! Go and level it up for safety measures though. Even though it is evil, it is still a God. Someone who achieved his own divinity. So being more cautious won't hurt. It will also be useful since there is that Dullahan that will be staying near this town in 5 or something months, if my deductions are correct. You should go and check if your previous classmate is still working as a helper in building the town wall. It should provide as enough clue about when will this Dullahan stay nearby,› Ariel said. She is sure that the two people she just mentioned are still working as helpers there. It hasn't been that long since they got transferred here, and that should also be the case for the two oddballs.

"You are right. But first, we need to finish our business here. This has been delayed for far too long, this rabbit may wake up any time soon," saying this, Hiroto mentally tapped on his Menu screen and distributed points on the new skills and spells that he just acquired.

He maxed the |Haggling|, |Price Estimation|, |Contract|, |Geass|, and |Mana Manipulation| skills. For his spells, he maxed out the |Sacred Purification| and |Holy Dispel|.

'Because of this, my Skill Points are now only 945,' he thought.

If someone heard his inner thoughts, then they would certainly beat up this ungrateful bastard.

‹You think Skill Points are so easy to obtain? And please, stop with that. It's like you're spending a lot of points to level up your skills and spells. If someone heard you say this, they would probably beat you up. That title of yours can't be any more fitting in you. Geniuses does have it easy!› Ariel said as she sighed. She is really envious of this lucky Hiroto. Anyone would want to go over any lengths just to obtain his titles. A shame that they can't use it though, it only works on the person who have the Menu and his companions.

"Sorry if I sounded arrogant Ariel-chan. Please forgive me?" Hiroto said with puppy god eyes, his special, 1 hit KO skill.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Ariel eventually forgave his arrogant words.

‹Alright, I forgive you. But you have to be careful on what you say next time. I'm just saying this because I don't want you get arrogant and look down on people. It's better to be safe than sorry. Okay, Hiro?›

"Yes, I will pay more attention to my attitude Ariel-chan. You are right, being arrogant and being confident is different," Hiroto said. He also doesn't want to sound arrogant to others.

After that exchange, Hiroto then decided to finally start using his newly acquired spell. He concentrated on gathering mana on his palm and and muttered the name of the spell. He doesn't know why, but he felt like saying the name of the spell despite not needing the need to say it out loud.

"|Holy Dispel|!"

After he said those words, he directed the palm of his hand at the Vorpal rabbit's direction. A few moments later, a bright light enveloped the Vorpal rabbit. 2 cute Angels with chubby, baby hands, descended from where the bright light is coming from, and took out something that resembles a dark, evil-looking, skull.

"Nooool!! You can't take me out of here you bastards! I am a God! You imbeciles! Give my powers back to that rabbit or you will suffer the consequences from my real body!" the skullskull suddenly said.

But then, the Angels who heard the skull's words just tilted their round, cute heads and said,

"Ehhh? But that's bad, you know? Father won't allow it~" the Angel on the right said

"That's right, that's right! You can't order us, you know?! We are veeerrryy strong after all!" said the Angel on the right with a smug look on his face.

Looking at the interaction between the Angels and the God of Wrath's curse, Hiroto couldn't help but laugh. This is certainly a comical sight to those who can see this happening.

Eventually, the curse and the Angels flew off at bright light's direction and disappeared. The curse was flailing around and shouting profanities while he was being dragged on by the Angels.

‹It looks like the God of Wrath's curse gained awareness. If that curse wasn't removed by us, that consciousness might have taken control over this rabbit's body,› said Ariel.

Looking at the still black colored rabbit in front of him, Hiroto was puzzled.

"Hey, Ariel-chan. The power of the God of Wrath is already out of the rabbit's body now, so why is it not changing back to its original fur color?" he asked.

‹Oh, that? Have you noticed the title that this rabbit have? It has the title |Apex of the Rabbit Race|. Which means that it is already on the verge of ascending to a higher level of power. The God of Wrath probably saw this and decided to grant it his powers in order to help it evolve. He probably wanted to kill you as soon as possible, so he helped this one get a lot more stronger,› Ariel deduced.

‹But I think, this rabbit's evolution is still incomplete. It should have gained sentience if it was evolved already, and the God of Wrath won't have the chance to even make it his puppet,› Ariel added

While she was saying all this, the Vorpal rabbit woke up and looked around with a confused face. It then looked at Hiroto who is near it and it suddenly had a shocked expression on its rabbit face.

It looked at Hiroto for some time and then in suddenly made a sound,

"Squeeakk! Squeeeak!! Squeak, squeak?"

"Hahh? What is it saying Ariel-chan? I can't understand what it's trying to say," Hiroto asked, confused.

‹To translate what it's saying, "Are you the human who helped me?". It looks like it wanted to know if you are the one who helped it,› Ariel replied. Hiroto was surprised that Ariel could really translate what it's saying.

He looked at the rabbit and said, "Yes, I was the one who got rid of the curse placed on you."

Hearing his words that he said with a smile, the rabbit contemplated for a bit, that is, if rabbits can look like it's contemplating, and looked at Hiroto again. With a fiery gaze locked onto Hiroto it squeaked.

"Squeakkkk! Squeak, squeak, squeaaakkk!"

‹It said, "If you are the one who helped me, then you must be strong enough to become my mate. Battle me so that I can be sure I was right." Oh, it looks like you have to accept this challenge Hiro,› Ariel said.

When Hiroto heard her words, he was confused. It isn't the first time he stumbled upon the word 'mate', but that was in chess and at the word 'classmate'. Because of the aversion of Honoka towards him being perverted, she never taught him about those stuffs. That is the reason why he was clueless.

And it has only been 2 days since he received all his previous life's memories and rummaging through all of it and remembering it all is a hard thing when it just flashes by in a flash.*

(A/N: Ok, at that point in time where he got his previous life's memories back. Hiroto just paid attention to the major events and didn't pay much attention to the knowledge from school stuff. As a result, he would learn what this word meant at the next chapter hahaha. I hope I explained this clearly)

Ariel, knowing the Hiroto is clueless about this term, decided to play a prank on this idiot master of hers. She still held a grudge about him having a girlfriend.

What she doesn't know was that, this 'plan' of hers would totally backfire later on.

‹Hiro, I am just restraining myself to evolve earlier because of the hectic situation. Right now, you only have to battle this Vorpal rabbit again, so I will now undergo my evolution process. It will probably take some time so, be careful on this battle ok?› Ariel said. She was just suppressing the evolution she should be undergoing since the time Hiroto defeated the Vorpal rabbit.

'Okay, Ariel-chan. Sweet dreams to you! I'll go and take a rest too after this battle is over. Experiencing the things that happened today made me a bit tired mentally,' he said.

He then took a stance with his body facing sideward. He took out Serveresta which is on his inventory and poured mana into it.

Sounds of a meter fillling up resounded and the now diamond shaped Ulm Manadite of Serveresta let out a lot of silver and sakura colored heat which then formed into a japanese-looking blade.

"Alright, I'm ready Vorpal rabbit. I accept your challenge!"

When he shouted those words, he immediately used |Flash Steps| to clash with the incoming rabbit, who also used |Flash Steps|.

*BANG!*

And that sound indicated that the rematch of the Cute Angel and the Vorpal Rabbit, started.
