Hey! I'm back! College is a bitch!

Anyways, I don't really know what to say but thank you for reading this.

Actually, Ren Cruz is the main character of the novel I wrote on Wattpad. I use him mostly all the time because I'm not good with naming others and I kinda forget them.

Anyways, I have several other fanfics where Ren was summoned to Orario.

Chef Ren with Yamato as a member and captain of Hestia Familia

Diamond Dog Ren with the one that covers parasite on his body in Orario

Dragon rider Ren with Valstrax as his dungeon and is a member of Hermes Familia

and

A Ren Cruz where he is trained by a level 9 adventurer called the Great sage and he is a member of a familia that I will not spoil.

It's review time!

Magi Mari:

First off, that nickname hit hard man. Gary Stus are easy to write and it is easy to just replace the main character with anyone else. Also, there is a reason why I made the setting already the canon timeline. This is because it will make it easier for me to be able to add anything I want without messing it up.

Angryboy13:

You're right. Ren's appearance actually made Ais unconsciously see him as Albert. This is actually a coincidence as I had already designed this version of Ren without knowing anything about Albert. Yeah, poor Ryuu needs love. Although don't worry, in fact, this is a harem and the girl's place on it is already secure.

What is affinity? Well, it is the natural liking of someone to something or someone else. Source: A dictionary he happened to have found in the library. What did it do? for him anyway. Well, It is the fact that apart from his students, his familia members, his friends, and Ryuu, especially her, Ren has somehow found himself the enemy of women, more specifically elven folk.

If you were wondering where the young man is, he is currently sitting on a bench, Aiz by his side. The sword princess was munching on a Jagamarkun as he read a book. He is now dressed in a form-fitting black cassock, modified for more movement and flexibility, and black pants with a pair of black dress shoes. For accessories, he has a pristine silver rosary hanging on his neck with a pair of rings on his right hand's index and ring fingers. He had his scarf given to him by Ryuu draping on his shoulders.

Now, if you were wondering what was wrong then...

"Oh, Aiz, apologies, I did not know that you are bringing a pet with you," the high elf princess said rather sharply at the sight of the young man reading a book calmly. She did raise a brow on the book's title.

"You should have told me that you were bringing a wall with us," A twitch came from the princess while Aiz and Lefiya sighed. "Although, you should have that wall replaced as it is quite old," Snapping the book shut, dark eyes met with green. The man in a priest get up looked at the princess of the elves with a smirk. "It would be bad if it gets destroyed."

"Nice clothes, where did you get them? A graveyard?" Riveria said with a strained smile as she held onto her staff. "Because I am afraid that one of their corpses are missing,"

"As a matter of fact, I did," Being put off by the confession, Riveria, Lefiya, and Aiz looked at him. "A designer I know for great clothes works in a graveyard," Ren answered, "Although, I am far too lively and handsome to be a corpse," He said while rubbing his bearded chin, making him look older than he is.

"Please, I'm sure that no one will be getting close to you other than for asking for advice for the dungeon," Riveria said with a smirk. "After all, what was the record now? 999 confessions and 999 rejections?"

The reveal of the large amounts of rejections he got made the girls giggle and for the man to flinch and hold his book tighter. A sob escaped from him alongside a depression cloud forming on top of his head. Just because he was always rejected...

"Ren?" Perking up slightly, Ren turned around and saw the familiar face of Ryuu Lion along with Syr. The silver-haired female smiled at him brightly and waved her hand while Ryuu just smiled. The duo was dressed in their uniforms.

"Oh, hey Ryu, Syr," Greeting his friends, the young man reached to his side where a pouch was located on his right thigh. Putting his book inside it, he smiled and hi-fived Syr.

"Gale," Riveria said towards Ryuu. The young elf stiffened slightly before bowing in front of the high elf.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again your majesty," The elf said respectfully, her long hair tied on her back bouncing lightly.

"Please, just call me Riveria," The princess said with a gentle smile. Seeing the sight, Aiz stepped in and patted Ren on the back while munching on her potato snack. It was not air! Why do elves hate him! Well, except for Ryuu, Lefiya, and very few others,

"So, you girls on a grocery shopping?" Ren asked with a smile aimed at the duo, "Oh yeah, these two are my apprentices, granted I share their apprenticeship with Riveria here. the human is Aiz and the elf is Lefiya," Introducing the two, they both bowed politely making Ren look smugly at Riveria. The look was met by a twitching brow from the high elf.

"A pleasure to meet you, miss Ryuu. Teacher Ren has told us a lot about you," Lefiya said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, the Teacher has only nice things to tell about you," Aiz said.

"See, I taught them better than you did," Ren said innocently. Riveria knew that look in his eyes, oh how much she hated being looked at by them like that.

"It seems like, despite your shadiness and slyness, your silver tongue has fooled my apprentices," 'Soon, that tongue will be doing more things for me than talking,'

Oblivious to the dark thoughts of the high elf, the five started to exchange some greetings and having some light conversations. Despite not talking much, she did see Gale bumping her hip playfully at Ren's discreetly when he was about to share something and shake her head. it was weird. Not that she was annoyed or anything,

"Well, we should get going now," Syr said with a cheerful smile before dragging Ryuu away.

"See you later," Ren saved with a small wave which was returned by Ryuu. Once the pair of waitresses disappeared from view, Ais stood by his side and tugged on his sleeve. "Yes, Ais?"

"Is miss Gale your girlfriend? Is she gonna be my older sister?" The innocent question along with the confused tilt of her head got a lot of interesting reactions from the three. Lefiya, the young elf of Wishe forest grew a blush from the romantic thoughts she had on her head. It was certainly gonna benefit her teacher a lot if he has a girlfriend. Paling slightly, Lefiya slowly and mechanically turned to look at an annoyed Riveria. Oh, she knew her majesty was irritated by the way the wood of Magna Alf groaned slightly at the grip from the high elf.

Ren, on the other hand just shrugged nonchalantly. Ryuu and Him might have been friends for eight years now, but he knew that that elf won't accept him being her boyfriend or lover. After all, She had rejected him almost 500 times until he stopped. Wait! it was over 500, granted most of them were just playful or teasing... It still hurt, a lot.

"Pretty sure Ryuu would try to kill me first or something before she accepts. Besides, why are you teasing me? Aren't you the one that ran off to me to ask for romantic advice?" Ren asked Ais. The sword princess pouted and elbowed her teacher lightly.

"I was just curious... You don't talk to any girls I know of, and I know it will make you happier," Ais said with a huff, turning around to hide her pout. Lefiya blinked and she swore that she heard Riveria let out a sigh of relief and for her to beam slightly.

"Are you going on an expedition anytime soon, Ren?" Ais asked as she stopped pouting. "You went on a ruin with Hermes Familia last time,"

"Not really, I'm not going on an expedition really. Besides, no one will watch over the Villa," Ren said with a shrug. "Honestly, I'm a bit annoyed my familia left me alone in Orario while they went on a vacation to who knows where,"

"They didn't leave you, they forgot that you were still in the dungeon when they left," Riveria said with a smile. It was not the sadistic one, it was one of joy.

"Well, sucks to be them, I'm alone in the Villa with nothing to do other than clean. Hell, maybe I can finally get laid," Shrugging, he hissed when something hit his head. Looking at the culprit, he saw the annoyed High elf princess who looked irritated.

"We have children here," She motioned to a blushing Lefiya and Ais who was giving him a thumbs up. Ah, Aiz, his cute apprentice and student. Ren made a vow to help his student with her love life.

"Bah! They should already be aware of these things. After all, 'Mother', you need to relax and trust your children," Teasing her, Ren used the nickname Loki gave her. This earned him the pleasure of seeing the normally aloof Princess's face covered by red.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Wait, did Riveria's voice just tremble. Why is she excited? What the hell?

"I told you, Okaa-Sama. You need to trust your children more," Repeating his statement, he turned around and started to move.

Turning around, Lefiya saw Ais writing something in her notebook. Looking at it, she blinked before her eyes widened slightly.

Make Riveria meet with Ren. X

Make them spend time together. X

Take Lefiya away so Ren and Riveria will go on a pseudo-date.

Make Riveria marry Ren so I can win the bet.

"A-ais," Shakily, the elf tried to catch the sword princess's reaction. Turning around, Ais pressed a finger to her lips, motioning for her to be quiet.

Arriving tiredly at the Hostess, Ren sighed and dragged himself to his usual seat and sat down.

Hitting the counter with his head, the young man sighed and stopped thinking.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the voice of his favorite cat people, Anya Fromel, just made him groan more.

"My life is a lie," He pitifully said before catching a mug of beer given to him by said girl. "Anya, wanna go on a date?" The simple question from the depressed man caught the attention of those inside the Hostess. Ryuu, Lunoire, and Chloe eyed Ren and Anya over their shoulders. Syr and Mia somehow got out a pot and collected some bets.

"W-w-what?!" Anya, the poor cat girl was blushing so hard that steam came out of her head.

"Nevermind," Ren said with a sigh before downing his beer. this made Mia chuckle as no one won and stored the pot money. "I passed the one thousand mark today," Tears fell from the young man's eyes as he sobbed wildly.

"I shit on you all! All normies explode and go die on a hole!" The sorrow and rage that came from the young man made all those beside him feel pity. "I just want someone to love and be loved," The statement he said was so quiet that it barely was a mutter. Ryuu merely looked at him.

AS the young man's oldest friend, she was aware of what the young man went through. She knew that Ren was from another world. She did what only she knew would Ren let only the closest to him do. She leaned in by his ear and whispered something causing him to calm down and nod.

"I'm going to the dungeon," Ren said, taking his meal and inhaling it quickly. He needed to blow off some steam. He decided to take off his cassock and flap it making it turn into a jacket with a fur-lined hood.

"You'll go after you had a full meal," Ryuu said, grabbing his shoulder and squeezing it tightly. She was not gonna let her best friend go to the dungeon without him clearing his mind.

"Or what?" Ren asked only to be met by glares from the waitresses. Gulping, Ren turned around to see Mia Grande, the Hostess's owner and the unofficial mother of the waitresses, glaring at him with a dark aura around her. "Fine," The young man agreed as he sat back down and waited for his food.

Seeing Syr beaming made Ren curious. Why was the trickster so happy? Well, this will be good. Oh, there was a red-eyed bunny by his side? Wait?! Bunny? Red eyes?

Looking to his side, Dark eyes widened as he looked at the white-haired red-eyed youth that was around 14. So this is the girl Ais likes. Wait, Syr, smiling happily and not teasingly? A true smile?! Hey! Chloe! Focus, I can see you drooling over here you Shotacon!

How dare you, you brat! You already have Ais... Holy shit! Shota with exotic hair color. check. Saved by a beautiful girl, check. Has the attention of a beautiful waitress, check. His gear tells Ren that he is an adventurer, a new one by that. Probably will have a skill that will shake the very foundations of Orario, check.

Reaching in his pocket. Ren took out a metallic rose before pushing a button to reveal a mirror. Several dots appeared and he could see some sort of spell watching over the boy by his side.

Son of a! This boy was probably a harem anime protagonist. Lucky!

"The guests who made the reservation are here, Nya!" Anya said with a smile as she walked in with the folks from the Loki Familia behind her.

"M-miss Ais," Ren heard the young man say. Looking at him, he can see a blush on the boy's face.

"Syr fancies him," Ryuu whispered to him quietly making him do a devilish grin "And no, you won't be doing anything to him just because you're bored,"

"When has that ever stopped me before?" Ren asked cheekily only to have his ear pulled by the waitress

"I'm free tomorrow. We can go on a patrol," Ryuu said while still holding the human's ear. "You can treat me to some desserts," The elf said making the human nod. It was almost time for their weekly hangouts.

Oblivious to what was happening, the two snapped out of their own world when the young boy ran away, and for Syr to call out his name. Bell, huh?

"Damn, kid. Stupid wolf," Ren said as he watched the werewolf, Bete Loga got tied up by Riveria. He did notice Ais running after Bell followed by Lefiya and Syr. He knew Mia was gonna be pissed. Taking out his wallet, he took out the payment for his and Bell's meal.

"Take care," Ryuu said with a bow. Nodding, the young man disappeared from view, leaving a gust of air that blew Ryuu's ponytail, making it dance in the wind.

Looking at the white-haired kid, Ren can't help but be impressed. He looked new, yet he was able to take care of the war shadows on his own.

"I swear, I'll be worthy of standing by your side, miss Ais Wallenstein," He heard the kid say while he lied on the ground.

Holy shit! Gods above! This kid was a riot! Well, might as well nurture the kid's talent.

"How about start with making sure that you are safe first, little rabbit," Ren said with a smile.

Interlude: The Little rabbit.

I was weak.

I was not worthy of standing by her side.

I know that.

I want to be a hero!

I want to stand by her side!

I could only move as I saw the monsters on the 6th-floor spawn at a fast rate. The war shadows surrounded me yet, I was somehow able to win. Is this it? No!

"I swear, I'll be worthy of standing by your side, miss Ais Wallenstein," I swore an oath today, I know I will reach her one day. But I swear, I will stand by her side.

"How about start with making sure that you are safe first, little rabbit," What? That voice... it was the man sitting beside me from earlier. How did he? I can see that he has dark hair tied to a ponytail with his bangs covering an eye. He had a beard and mustache making him around 35 to 40. He wore a scarf on his neck, a jacket with fur on the collar, or was it the hood. He has a pair of black pants and dress shoes. He did not look like an adventurer.

Several war shadows appeared behind his back and it seemed like he did not notice.

"Look out!" I warned him as the war shadows struck. Using their blade-like fingers, they all struck him from behind. Smiling, the man stood still and then. He moved.

Fall to the ground backward. Handstand, split kick, stand up while kicking the shadow with a kick strong enough to break the wall. Guide the blades with his hands to make them kill each other. Catch one and throw it on another, killing them both quickly. Catch the last one's head and crush it. killing it quickly.

He did all of those under a second and he didn't step away from his position.

"You okay?" He asked me. Who was this guy? Why was he here? "This is quite stupid of you, diving to the dungeon without any armor or potions," He is right.

"Well, lucky you, I was here, and I am impressed," Huh?! Why was he impressed? "From the way you move, you haven't been an adventurer for a while now, right? You've been here for around two weeks and you can take care of war shadows. You have potential, Bell,"

"T-thank you. H-how do you know my name?" I asked him. Wait, was he spying on me?! Am I gonna get kidnapped?

"No, I'm not gonna kidnap you. You might be cute but I am into girls," Am I that easy to read?! "Yes, you are. You owe me you know. You left without paying Mia, you're going to be in trouble if you don't apologize to her quickly,"

"Oh no!" I just realized it. I left without paying. Oh no, oh no, oh no. I'm gonna be thrown in jail!

"Don't worry about that, I already paid for your meal," I heard him say. "Listen, Ais saved you right?"

"You know miss Ais?!" I couldn't help but shout as I looked at him. Suddenly, something hit my head. It hurt! I could only grab it and look at the man who saved me.

"Out of all the things I told you, you only reacted at Ais. I'm Ren, Ren Cruz. Just like you, I am an adventurer," Ren said. "I happen to have many unofficial names, and I happen to pride myself as a polisher of talents,"

Wait, is he...

"You're a good kid and you have quite the motivation," I could feel him looking at me, oh right. I didn't give him my name.

"I'm Bell, Bell Cranel," I introduced myself.

"So, Bell. I have an offer for you," Ren said as he flicked the blood off his hand. "Become my student and I will make sure, you will be able to stand beside Ais. Do you accept?" I could swear that I saw a smirking demon behind Ren.

I... I want to be strong. I want to stand by her side.

"I... I want to be strong enough to stand by Miss Ais' side!" I shouted with all my might and took his hand.

I never noticed it back then. But, I knew he had a sadistic grin behind that smiling face.

"Rejoice, young man! Your wish will be granted,"

What the?! No, bad Ren! this version of you is not the one fused with Kotomine Kirei! That is for the next FGO/Danmachi fic I'm writing.

Well, it seems like Bell and Ren had finally met.

Seems like his life will be harder with Ren as his teacher. Oh, wait till he finds out Ais is his fellow student.

Ren and Ryuu have a date the day after, I wonder what will happen.

Hippolyta is from Fate Strange Fake.

Well, this is Chirith signing off. Please leave a comment or a review. Flames will be used as a way to help me cook my ideas. See you guys later!

P.S: Ryuu's hair is longer than the one she has in canon. There is a special reason for this.
