Hey guys. Welcome to chapter 13. Nothing much to say about this chapter except for a fact I had fun writing this one since this is the first time I am writing the first OC for this story. Try to guess what meme she is referencing from. although I think I pretty much gave it away during her fight.
One more thing that I have to say as I realised it during writing this chapter. I am bad at describing the weapons that Remnent has so I hope you excuse me for that. So yea with that said. Let's get it on!
Diclaimer: Tensei Shitara Ken Deshita by Tanaka Yu, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken by Fuse and RWBY by Roosterteeth.
Rimuru sighs to himself as he completed his fourth task. The first four tasks was easy to do. Just guide your employer across different environments. Forests, cliffs, snow and desert. All four was built after the four kingdoms. Vale, Mistral, Atlas and Vacuo respectively with the fourth being the hardest.
Winter said that the fifth task would be different per student and it will be the hardest one. However the fifth task will take place in the afternoon when everyone has done their own tasks.
After Winter dismissed him Rimuru went back to the stands to meet up with Ranga and Penny. The robot saw me and waves her hand.
"Sensational performance Rimuru!" She says gleefully as Rimuru sees Ranga smirking who is proud of his master. The slime nods in appreciation as he sat down.
"So your Rimuru right?" Rimuru looks behind him and sees Flint handing out for a handshake. Rimuru accepts it though was confused. It looked like this guy knows him somehow.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Rimuru asks politely. Flint realises about his manners and laughs a bit.
"Sorry if you're confused. My name is Flint Cole, me and your brother met last night and he told me quite a bit about you." He said to Rimuru.
When Rimuru heard Flints words he look at Ranga in shock. 'He actually made a friend with a human!?' He thought as he was brought into tears. 'That's my boy!'
*Farther mode.*
"Um, you okay there?" Flint wondered as Ranga sighs to himself, a bit afraid that his master is thinking that he is going soft. It wasn't until later that Rimuru congratulate him for making a friend. Penny meanwhile is going through her data on Rimuru.
Throughout Rimuru's initiation, Penny has been observing the slime's abilities as per Ironwood orders. And so far Penny has collected so much information. Her own skills has been put into her head thanks to her farther.
But Rimuru's skills with his katana is unparalleled. His skills are so good that she ended up learning a thing or two.
It wasn't just that either. His fast thinking allowed him to attack the Grimm while protecting his robot as well as using the environment to his advantage.
'Even though his abilities was limited cause they want to keep them a secret, he still manage to find a loophole by making it seem like it was just a piece of armour or just a use of Dust.' She thought as she remembers Rimuru using his fire attack on his third task.
"Penny?" She got knocked out of her thoughts when she hears Rimuru. She should probably do her diagnosis after their initiation.
"Sorry about that Rimuru. What is the matter?" She said happily. Rimuru sighs a bit as he smiles back.
"Well while you were thinking. One off the students is entering her fourth task. Ken Sai I think her name is?" Rimuru answers her question as Penny looks at the girl herself. She is surrounded by lots of Taijitu's, the more inferior version then King Taijitu.
"Well the girl got some sweet moves. She pretty much breeze through the first three tasks without using her semblance." Flint said to them as they see the Taijitu's swimming across the sand around the girl.
Ken ready her Sais and stabs one of the Grimm when it jumps out. She then jumps to the side to dodge another one and stabs it. The two turns into white dust as Ken grins in excitement.
"Although her aura seems to be weakening rapidly. If she needs to finish this she has to use it soon." Rimuru said as they all seem her breathing a little heavily.
But that was what she wanted them to think. 'It's time. It's time for them to see who the best is.' Ken thinks to herself as she felt like chuckling but kept it in. She looks around and see the rest of the Grimm ready to attack her. 'Let's put on a show!' She shouts in her head as her red coloured aura started showing around her body.
'What is that? Is that her semblance?' Rimuru asks Great Sage in his head.
*Answer. Ken Sai's semblance is called Keio-ken. It allows her body to grow in strength and speed. But the down side is that it strains her body.* It says. Rimuru thought about it and came to a conclusion.
"Kaio-Ken!? Isn't that Goku's technique!?" He shouts out without thinking.
"Who's this Goku Rimuru?" Ranga asks his master as Penny and Flint tilt their heads.
"Keio-what?" They both mumbled.
Ken grins bigger as the Taijitu's grew cocky and launces themselves out of the sand at the girl. But when they got close she disappeared.
"Huh? Where did she go?" Flint wondered. Ranga caught her smell and look up and see Ken.
"Up there." He says as they all look up.
Ken then joined her two Sais and made them into one. Her middle blade split open and tilt her handle downward.
"It's also an SMG?" Rimuru says as that too seems to also be a gun.
"Take this!" Ken shouts out and shoots red dust at the Grimm below her. The bullets made tiny explosions and vaporise the Grimm as she made sure to keep them away from her robot who was hiding behind a sand dune.
"Her two Sais must have specific mechanisms that when she puts the two together those things would join. Her handle must have already have bullets inside them. But that must mean she has limited ammo since it couldn't be easy putting more in. That must be why she has only be doing melee attacks all this time." Rimuru analysed which made Penny and Flint impressed.
"Wait did you already figure out her weapon in just a few seconds? That's pretty cool." Flint praised as it made Rimuru grin.
"I am known to have photographic memory." He boasted. They see Ken landing while turning her weapon back into two Sais.
"What are you waiting for!? I need a challenge here!" Ken is growing cockier. Winter sighs as this girl is getting too used to this.
'She wants a challenge? Then let's give her one shall we?' She thought as she summoned one last Grimm.
Rimuru notices some Taijitu's leaving the battlefield.
'Where are they going?' He wondered. Just as he thought that the sand Ken is standing on started to shake.
Ken kept her ground as eight Taijitu's heads sprout out of the ground.
"Is that the Orochi!?" Flint was shocked when he sees this.
"Orochi?" Ranga asked his human friend as Penny explains.
"Orochi is a possessed type Grimm. It starts off as just a skull and attracts Taijitu's and possess them. Once it has collected eight of them it transforms into this."
'She kind of sounded like a Google AI.' Rimuru amusingly thought.
"Now this is a challenge. Bring it!" Ken yelled out as all eight heads roar. One of them lunches at Ken with its mouth open. Ken quickly blocks its teeth with her Sais as the Grimm pushes her back. The second head sees this as a chance and launces at her.
"Is she alright?" Flint says to himself as he pushes down his sunglasses as the dust is blocking their view. The dust disappears and the entire audience gasps. Ken was blocking two heads as their teeth is in between her blades.
"Take this!" She shouts as she swung down her arms and made the two heads bash into each other.
She also take this chance to snap off their teeth.
They flinch back and roared in pain as Ken picks up their teeth.
"Hey! You guys forgot something!" She shouted as she throws them at the two heads. She threw them so hard that it penetrates them.
"Two down, six to go." She says to herself as the two heads vaporised. But she was gloating so much that the third head bashed her back and made her crash into one of the sand dune.
"Ow." She rubs her back and was about to shout at the Grimm but had to roll forward when fourth head burst out of the ground. She looks around and see all six surrounding her.
"All out attack huh? Well I'm down." She said to them as she got into her stance.
'Doesn't that look like a stance Goku does?' Rimuru thought as this is starting to get a bit weird.
The six remaining heads launces together at the girl as she jumps above them and stabs one of her Sais into one of their heads. She held on when it lifts up into the air and roars in pain.
"Yahoo! Now this is what I'm talking about." She shouts out in glee as she controls the beast and made it back into the other heads.
The heads grow agitated and follow the girl. Rimuru and the others quickly find out what she is planning. She is keeping them at her pace.
Ken grins as her plan is working and jumps off. The heads follow as was about to bite at her. They suddenly stop.
"The oldest trick in the book." Flint said as the others nod in agreement. They see all the Grimm's necks all tangled up.
Ken smirks as she joins her Sais and turns it into an SMG.
"Nighty night Grimm." She smiles and shoots at all the neck at once.
Winter watches the Orochi fall down into the sand and started vaporising as she contemplates on what Ken just did. 'The Orochi is a strong opponent. It is capable to fight against a full team of fully fledge Huntsmen. So I had to make sure to lower its power enough to teach her a lesson. And yet she still defeated it.' She thinks while looking at Ken breathing deeply as she finally let's go of her semblance. 'If she didn't have the kind of attitude she has then she would've been a great solder.'
"And that marks the end to your forth task. You will now head back to the stands to let the next student step in." Winter instructed.
"Yes mam." She said kindly. She maybe cocky but even she knows not to stand up to Winter of all people. She steps of as the desert once again goes under.
'What a strange girl.' Rimuru thinks with Ranga nodding in agreement.
-LINE BREAK-
Fran ran through the forest. Behind her is a group of Boarbatusk's, ten in total, charging at Fran fast.
*Fran! I told you not to step into their sleeping grounds!* Master berated Fran which made her pout.
"But I want to see how strong they are." She turn her head away while grumbling. Master sighs tiredly.
*Well let's just see how strong these guys are. [APPRAISAL!]* Master shouted as screens started appearing above the Grimm.

*They seem to be a bit stronger then Beowolves but not by much. We can take them Fran.* Master said to Fran as she nods excitedly. She turns around quickly and got Master ready.
All of them stop when they see Fran ready to attack and became conscious of her. Everything became quiet. Fran's ear twitch as she hears the Grimm getting ready to charge while Master looks between Fran and the Grimm, wondering who will go first.
One of the Boarbatusk huffed and jump. It rolled in itself and started spinning on the ground.
*Watch out Fran!* Master warned its wielder as the Grimm grew near with the other nine closely behind.
Fran jumps over it and had to keep dodging the others. But even then the Boarbatusk use the environment to their advantage and bounce off of the trees. Thus kept on barraging Fran with their rolling attack.
*Their smart. Either they lived a long life or they have a leader in the pack somewhere to guide them.* Master said as Fran once again nodding while looking for said leader. Unfortunately none of them seem like a leader as they all look pretty similar to one another. *For now though let's take care of this batch. The leader has to show up if we take out some of their comrades.* Master continue as it started chanting. Fran blocks a Boarbatusk with the sword and jumps to the side. She is chanting as well while she keep on dodging their attacks.
*I'll help you out Fran. Fire magic! [Fire Arrow!]* Master shout out as multiple fire arrows shot out.
"Earth magic! [Ground break!]" Fran shouted as the ground made a lot of holes. The Boabatusk's didn't react fast enough and fell into the holes as Master's arrows strike them. Unfortunately some of them didn't die as the arrows stroke their armour. But they weren't done yet as Fran grins at them and prepare to strike.
"Thunder magic! [Stun Gun!]" Fran already finished her spell and launch a lightning strike at them. Fran sighs as she really likes her Thunder magic. "I really like going bzzzzz bzzzzz." Fran says happily. Master itself sighs as Fran is really being obsessive with using the Thunder Magic.
*Focus Fran. We need to finish them off.* Master reminded her. Fran pouts from Master ruining her little fun but she knew it made a good point and gone ahead and stab the rest who was paralyzed from her spell. After that they continue their way to the temple while keeping a look out for any potential threat.
They had a few more encounters but none of them was Boabatusk's. This started worrying Master as it was sure that they would come for revenge. It sighs as it decided to forget about it for now since it didn't want to worry Fran. Though Fran would probably try to search for them herself. But then they would just be wasting time on something that probably isn't there.
As they walked the ground started shaking a bit. *What is this?* Master wondered as Fran started picking up a voice crying for help.
"This way." Fran mumbled and starts running across the trees. In just a few moments Master started hearing the screams as well.
*A girl is in trouble!* Master shouted as they came across a cave where the voice was coming from. They see a bright gold shining in the cave and see something, or someone, clinging on to it. They then see a familiar person running out.
*"Pyrrha!?"* They both shouted as it was the red haired champion running out of the cave with a giant scorpion like Grimm bursting out of the cave.
"Fran!? What are you doing here!?" Pyrrha shout out to them while dodging the claws. One of them closed in her but thankfully Fran blocks it with Master. Pyrrha smiles as she is appreciate the help. "Thank you." She said with Fran nodding.
"Um guys, a little help here!?" They look up to see Jaune trying to hang on. The scorpion was swinging its stinger which is making Jaune loose his grip.
"Jaune whatever you do don't let…" Pyrrha tried to instruct him but the Scorpion got the better of him and fling Jaune into the sky. "Ahhhhhhh!" He yells as he flies into the trees.
"…go." She said more quietly.
*I hope he is alright.* Master said to itself as Fran keeps on deflating the Grimm's claws. Pyrrha turns her lance into a rifle and shoots the scorpion but it had little effect.
"Fran we need to fall back! We can't defeat it on our own, we need back up!" Pyrrha said to her friend. But Fran shook her head as she kept on wanting to fight it since this Grimm seem to be the strongest one in the forest.
"I will be holding it back. You go on ahead." Fran said which shocked Pyrrha.
"But why! We can defeat it in numbers!" She tried to reason with Fran as the black cat jumps back and unleashes her [Super Sonic] attack which pushes back the Grimm.
"I can take it on! I will defeated and catch up!" Fran shouted with full confidence. Pyrrha feel like she can't talk Fran out of this and came up with a new plan.
"Alright then I'll go. But I will go get the others and come back!" She shouts and started running into the forest.
*Is this really alright Fran?* Master inquired as Fran nods. Master knew of Fran wanting to fight stronger beings and to gain experience from them to grow stronger. So it knew Pyrrha made a right call. But even Master is excited to see how this Grimm fare against it and Fran. *In that case. Let's give it all we got!*
"Hm!" She said with a grin as she can now go all out.
