Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Seeing the word "max" after the speed attribute, Xia Sheng felt that it was exactly what he expected.

The maximum value is indeed ten points.

However, the three dots following the special attribute made him take a second look.

Why was it improved?

When did this happen?

He didn't do anything.

"Be careful!"

Mai Sakurajima's sudden reminder interrupted Natsuo's thoughts.

He looked at the slime, only to see it charging towards him again.

This slime has an extremely strong aggressive tendency.

However, in Xia Sheng's eyes, its movement speed had slowed down.

The slime kept getting closer and then leaped up to attack again, but Natsumi simply turned slightly to the side and dodged it.

Although it can now attack on its own initiative, its attack methods remain monotonous. While flying in the air, it cannot change its trajectory and can only land in a parabolic arc.

Xia Sheng locked his gaze on it, not intending to use his ability to conceal his presence.

This slime has become so strong, he's not sure if its defense has improved. If he uses other abilities to divert the special attack, it won't be able to destroy it with the special attack, which would be bad.

Moreover, concealing one's presence might not work on it.

This boost to his special attributes might be a form of assistance provided by the world to help him eliminate this slime.

He wanted to use all his special abilities at once to eliminate this slime completely.

Puffy~

The slime turned around again, facing Natsumi, and then, without pausing, crawled toward him, accelerating continuously.

Xia Sheng stood still, his right fist clenched, gathering a special, shimmering white light that enveloped his fist.

The light was much stronger than before.

From a distance, Mai Sakurajima saw this scene and her eyes widened in confusion.

What was that shimmering white light?

She was thrilled and excited.

It's hard to say whether this is a dream, but that slime is definitely dangerous.

This junior is also special; he's not an ordinary person.

This world is not ordinary; it hides secrets.

If this wasn't a dream, she had to find out!

Here, Natsumi and the slime met again, his clenched, gleaming white fist aimed at the slime leaping towards him.

However, Xia Sheng did not intend to confront it head-on. Just before they made contact, Xia Sheng stepped to the side with his left leg, creating distance. His fist also moved away, avoiding the slime.

Then, he turned around, facing behind the slime, and chased after it with his fist.

His speed was surpassed by the slime, whose gleaming white fist caught up with its rear.

Splat!

In mid-air, the slime's body exploded, turning into dozens of jelly fragments scattered on the ground.

Xia Sheng also had it, but he chose to ignore it.

"call--"

He withdrew his fist, straightened up, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Luckily, he had saved some attribute points beforehand; otherwise, with their speeds being roughly equal today, he would have been locked in a grueling battle with the slime for half a day.

His strength is no match for the slime; he couldn't even break the stone pillar with a single punch. In a head-on confrontation, he has no chance of winning.

As a result, only his arm broke.

A mortal body cannot withstand the attacks of demons.

"Is this... resolved?" At that moment, Mai Sakurajima walked over.

"Yes, it's been resolved. We can go back soon." Natsumi nodded to Sakurajima Mai, but his face remained unrelaxed.

There was only one slime today; Yukino and the others didn't come either. He was afraid they had gone somewhere else.

He needs to go back quickly and find out what's going on.

"Thanks to you, Natsuo-senpai, thank you so much. I feel like there's nothing I can do." Sakurajima Mai thanked her.

"No, it's not your fault. You didn't come here of your own accord."

"Didn't you want to come here yourself... Natsuo-kun, I'll contact you, if it's not a dream." Sakurajima Mai stared intently at Natsuo, memorizing his face.

"Don't worry, Sakurajima-senpai. Even if you don't contact me first, I will contact you first," Natsumi replied with a smile.

"Oh?" Mai Sakurajima raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, he still has feelings for her.

"Hehe~" Xia Sheng laughed when he saw this.

"Sakurajima-senpai, you're overthinking it. I'm not here for anything romantic. I need to tell you about the situation here and also recruit you."

"...What's going on here? Are you trying to recruit me?" Mai Sakurajima frowned, looking at him with confusion.

"You'll find out next week... I'm leaving." Xia Sheng didn't intend to explain further; there wasn't enough time.

Mai Sakurajima's fair and slender legs began to blur.

"They're leaving already..." Mai Sakurajima also realized her situation.

"Sakurajima-senpai? Why do you seem... a little reluctant to leave?" Natsumi sensed her tone.

"Really? You misheard, but... I hope I remember when I wake up." Mai Sakurajima smiled slightly.

She disappeared as soon as she finished speaking.

[Successfully eliminated the first layer of intruders, rewarded with a combat skill and one attribute point.]

As His voice echoed in his mind, Natsumi looked at the spot where Sakurajima Mai had just been standing, feeling a bit curious.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone leave from here; they vanished after becoming indistinct, as if they had become invisible.

Whether it's a soul coming from somewhere, it's really hard to say.

He had been covered in slime fragments several times before, but when he woke up, there was nothing on him.

It's also possible that they can't take the slime's body with them.

Otherwise, why would it take the form of a black mist creature after escaping, instead of its original form?

So what exactly are these slimes?

Is it a simple monster, or some kind of manifestation?

Xia Sheng stood there, stroking his chin, deep in thought.

However, as he pondered the matter, he finally realized something was amiss.

Why is he still here?

He didn't leave!

He also remembered the notification sound He had just given: an intruder on the first floor?

First floor?

Xia Sheng turned his head to look around, and when his gaze fell into the depths, his eyes narrowed.

There, a staircase appeared, a staircase leading downwards!

Second layer?

Is his mission not over yet?

Without any hesitation, Xia Sheng ran towards the stairwell and then went downstairs.

He considered a possibility: that Yukino Yukinoshita and the others hadn't come with him.

At the bottom of the stairs, there was an entrance with a faint white light shining through it, and Xia Sheng went straight in.

The field of vision suddenly opened up and became unobstructed.

Xia Sheng looked around the second floor and quickly scanned it, finding that it was not much different from the first floor, with stone floors and walls.

But the light was not dim, and there were no stone pillars standing in the middle.

However, there was nothing here, neither the intruders nor Yukino Yukinoshita and the others.

But the next moment, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

Both had the same high ponytail hairstyle and wore the same sportswear; one had a cool and aloof expression, while the other had a gentle one.

Upon seeing the two of them for the first time, Xia Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then excitedly stepped forward and hugged them both tightly.

"Thank goodness you're all alright!"

"Xia Sheng, you...?"

Both of them stiffened, not expecting Xia Sheng to suddenly hug them. The direct contact with the scent of the opposite sex made them a little uncomfortable.

However, his worried and relieved expressions didn't seem fake.

The two did not push him away immediately.

Xia Sheng also realized what was happening, and took the initiative to let go of the two of them, apologizing and explaining, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it... but it's really good that you didn't come first."

"Natsuo, what's wrong? What happened?" Shiina Mahiru didn't suspect him, her eyes showing concern as she asked softly.

"If you don't explain yourself properly, I won't let you off the hook." Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms, staring intently at him, her tone a little cold.

"Take a look around first," Xia Sheng reminded them.

"What's this all around me??"
