[The Person Striving Toward Their Ambition]
Nanashino Katsumi was a reincarnator.
No, perhaps it was more correct to say that he was a ‘possessor’.
When he came to, he had belonged to the hostile organization, the ‘Black Sword’, in ‘Frontier Academia’.
Moreover, he woke up not as an ordinary member, but as an executive of the organization called ‘Nanashino Katsumi’, an amnesiac, mysterious swordsman.
“Hah, haha, HAHAHA! Good, ain’t it the best!” (Nanashino)
Having came to realize the world he was in after a little bewilderment, he raised the corner of his mouth, deciding to fulfill his hidden ambition.
Fortunately, he woke up two years before the original game began.
Thanking his fortune, he first focused on getting used to the ‘body’ he was given.
The body moved as he wanted, knowing neither tiredness nor fear.
He felt no repulsion to cutting down monsters, and was unwavering to murder a wide range of races, from sinners to ordinary people.
The mind and body that could make every movements ‘just as he imagined’ made him ‘powerful’ in just a few months.
He then, armed with his knowledge of the original game, devised a plan for the fulfillment of his own ambition, interacting with his peers and increasing his allies.
The faction he created became so large that it could no longer be dismissed in the ‘Black Sword, he even succeeded in moving forward the time of the opera house incident, which was an important operation for the organization.
“If we let the enemy grows and start the event at September, we would just end up losing ‘like in the original game’. If you can see such a future, you’d normally take the initiative, no?” (Nanshino)
Nanashino belonged to the ‘Black Sword’.
Putting that the other way around, if things progressed just as it was, he would definitely be defeated just like in the original game.
He couldn’t allow that, therefore, he decided to take steps ‘to move forward the event and crush the protagonist before he grows up.’
That sort of ‘alternative route’, a ‘what if’, where the evil that should be defeated triumph, everyone must had thought about once.
Furthermore, Nanashino did not mind if this operation failed.
If the operation was successful, the ‘Black Sword’ would make a leap forward and take root in a social position that the main character would not be able to reach. Needless to say, this was a big victory.
On the contrary, if it failed, he would be able to eliminate the problem children, Luisina and her subordinates, who sought freedom and refused to join his faction.
Certainly, the organization itself would be weakened, but it would also lead to his increased influence and discretion within the organization.
As a result, it would be easier for him to pass his own suggestions and plans, and at the very least it would be his first big step to go against his inevitable future, that was ‘losing in accordance to the original game’.
His plans went well.
Nanashino, who had been secretly moving behind the scenes, had made no fault.
In fact, he had triumphed over the protagonist, Amanai Hayato, in this stage.
The problem was that a certain money-hungry idiot (Sakurai Tōru) struck him from the side.
Moreover, that idiot was a reincarnator who had a strong connection with the ‘Sword Saint’, who, in the original game, should have died, and was a mass of energy that had prepared a plan to raid the Obsius Co. along with the Thieves Guild in just half a day.
“Seriously, this is out of the script…!” (Nanashino)
There was no way he could predict such a thing, and it was ironic that Luisina who he tried to eliminate was also involved in the series if events.
Moreover, the perpetrator (Sakurai Tōru) who caused all of it was carefreely going around the Obsius Co., collecting their ill-gotten money, so Nanashino had no way to discover his existence.
The ‘Sword Saint’ and the Thieves Guild raided their base.
The ‘Black Sword’ was now at the crossroads of whether or not it would be destroyed, rather than the weakening the organization.
“——Sshhh!”
He swung his sword.
The name of his beloved sword that he was currently swinging at will was ‘Indestructible Sword Eckesachs’.
It was a one-of-a-kind two-handed sword that could only be owned by ‘Nanashino Katsumi’. A rustic magic sword that give others the impression of ‘going through many battles unbroken, unscathed. Just like its owner’.
It wouldn’t get chipped when clashed with any weapon. And the sword also bestowed Nanashino, its owner, with a though body.
The current him could repel a knight’s swung blade with his bare skin, and the strength hidden in his body was such that he could hit and tore off a several centimeters thick iron door with his bare hands.
A tough body, blessed by the indestructible sword.
An unwavering heart, battle experience that permeated the body, and pinnacle sword technique backed by them.
The only one who could match Nanashino Katsumi who had all of that might be the fully grown ‘original game’s protagonist’.
“’Remnant Flash of Fire’.” (Sanuki)
(——Nh!? An afterimage!)
However, he was not able to contend with the ‘Sword Saint’, despite all of that.
The supreme abilities (specs) that he got was treated like a child’s play.
“‘Ignition Strike’.” (Sanuki)
“——Gah goh!?” (Nanashino)
His tough body that could repel sword with bare skin and gouge iron with bare hands was blown away.
The sword technique that he believed to be the pinnacle was overwhelmed by the real, ultimate sword technique, even his unwavering heart, and future predictions that came from the battle experience permeating his body was only able to follow the shadow of the ‘Sword Saint’.
If Pygmalion and Asanaga weren’t here right now, Nanashino knew that he would definitely have been defeated. He could only laugh in his heart at that difference in strength.
(The weakening of the organization is still fine with me, but if it’s destroyed, all I’ve been doing till now would come to nothing. Only a minimum number of people and equipment could be swiftly evacuated, but…rather than being completely obliterated, it’s better be left off with a piece of skin, huh.)
Enduring the pain from his abdomen, Nanashino nonchalantly gave instruction to withdraw.
In addition, determining that he would not be able to withdraw through a half-baked way like using a smoke screen, he instructed Asanaga to use her ‘last resort’.
He would also have to use his, but the people of this world would probably not be able to see through it.
He adjusted his breathing and let his magic power to flow out of his body.
The magic power began to fill the room, and perhaps sensing that, the ‘Sword Saint’ squinted a little.
“Pygmalion, I’m gonna go all out for real, take care of the rest.” (Nanashino)
“Nn~slurp! No, hold on——” (Pygmalion)
Before Pygmalion could finish his words, Nanashino stepped out.
Nanashino, who instantly narrowed the distance with the movement skill ‘Ground Shrink’, swung his sword at the ‘Sword Saint’.
“‘World intervention (system command), phenomenon tampering (cheat code)’.” (Nanashino)
At the same time as the sword swung down from the top, 2 swords, the same as the one Nanashino had, appeared at the side and behind of Sanuki respectively, and slashed him.
Following that, a second Nanashino appeared at the back, taking the posture of sword drawing.
The existences of the second Nanashino and the multiple slashes that appeared without omen from the empty space.
Having judged from his own sense that they were not some sort of afterimages, Sanuki stepped up his gear and rushed to deal with them.
The ‘Sword Saint’ couldn’t help but feel that Nanashino had increased by three, counting in the slashes that appeared from the empty space.
“Whoops!” (Sanuki)
However, the change did not stop there.
At the moment when the Nanashino at the back drew his sword, Sanuki, feeling chills for the first time since he came here, jumped away from the spot.
While his body was slightly torn by the swords enclosing him from three directions, Sanuki avoided the invisible slash that came from under the ground.
“Now this is surprising. It’s my first time seeing such moves. Could you tell me how you did them?” (Sanuki)
“No way I’m telling you, abnormal old-man…!” (Nanashino)
“I’m still on active duty, though. At least call me Uncle, ‘aight?” (Sanuki)
“Shut up! Die!” (Nanashino)
Nanashino and Sanuki clashed violently.
It was different from the battle that had been going on until just then, Nanashino was putting up a fight against the ‘Sword Saint’, Sanuki Shoichiro, on a one on one battle.
However, the battle was strange when looked at from the side, Nanashino appeared at places where he shouldn’t be at, slashes would appear out of nowhere, and for that matter, there were instances where Nanashino’s slash passed through Sanuki’s body.
(They’re not afterimages or the likes. They do have flesh and blood after all. It actually feels like the kid increases, but…they sure are behaving peculiarly.) (Sanuki)
After cutting off the fourth Nanashino, Sanuki observed him while bathing in the spurt of his blood.
In addition to their strange behavior, the Nanashinos also had greater speed and weight of slash.
Among the strong people Sanuki knew within the nation, was there anyone that could deal with this storm of attacks?
The current Nanashino was demonstrating strength so great that he, the ‘Sword Saint’, thought so.
However, that did not last long either.
The magic power that was expended at an accelerating rate eroded Nanashino’s body.
Even for someone abundantly blessed by the heaven like Nanashino, the work of altering occuring phenomenon and elevating physical abilities were things that could only be done for a few minutes once a day.
(That’s why, die here for me!) (Nanashino)
Suddenly, the onslaught stopped.
Without avoiding the slash that Sanuki released as a counterattack in that opening, Nanashino created a dozen Nanashinos by directing the magic power he devoted to attacking to duplicating his body, and had them to flood Sanuki.
“O-ohh?” (Sanuki)
People with exact same faces came at Sanuki at a speed that was beyond human intelligence.
Not all of them were living bodies, as some were even able to pass through the debris of the surrounding floors and walls to come to restrain him.
Moreover, these Nanashinos showed not an ounce of fear facing the slashes Sanuki released, the slashes that should have hit their targets only passed through and came out of their bodies.
Sanuki could do nothing to them, he could only received one-sided interferences from the other party.
Though, it seemed like their purpose was not to defeat him, as they did not go at him at full power, keeping themselves around him. Sanuki, who was slightly confused, found that his room of movement was sealed.
(Welp, time to turn the table.) (Sanuki)
The ‘Sword Saint’ turned over his sword.
The power in his body surged.
It gathered at the handle of his sword, and was released in the form of ‘Sword Saint’ Slash’ with just a flick of his wrist
Sanuki’s Slash successfully cut off all the Nanashinos, not passing through their bodies.
However, the ordinary sword could not withstand the unreasonable move that was only allowed for the ‘Sword Saint’, its blade that had already been at its limit scattered in all directions at the end of the slash.
And then, *thud*.
A girl settled herself in Sanuki’s chest.
When he raised gaze while hugging the girl, he could see the upper body of a skeleton growing from her nape and the back of the escaping Pygmalion.
Were they discarding the girl as a decoy to escape?
The question went through his mind.
Since his sword had already been broken, it’d be difficult to chase them.
Should he settle with the second best option, that was to secure the girl who had been discarded for some reason, rather than to forcibly chase Nanashino who used strange moves and the still perfectly fine Pygmalion?
When he dropped his gaze on the girl with such an indecision, her big round eyes locked with his————before she muttered,
“‘Self-Destruct’.”
Magic power concentrated to the point of being visible was released from her orifices.
The skill ‘Self-Destruct’ that the girl activated was a great skill that caused enormous damage to everything that existed in the field, regardless of enemies or allies, while rendering the character that used it incapacitated.
Its power was made up of a very simple formula: ‘a sum value of five times the total value of HP and MP at the time of activation and the total of all the remaining attribute values’.
What would happen if an executive (boss) who had a much higher HP than a player character were to use such a skill?
The power of such ‘Self-Destruct’ need no mention, you could probably understand what would be the outcome of the building of Obsius Co. that received it, without words.
The ‘Self-Destruct’ skill that Nanashino had Asanaga Ayako learnt according to the ‘setting’, this was one of his last resorts.
The next moment, Obsius Co. exploded.

NanashinoNanashino and Sanuki clashed violently.It was different from the battle that had been going on until just then, Nanashino was putting up a fight against the Sword Saint', Sanuki Shoichiro, on a one on one battle.However, the battle was strange when looked at from the side, Nanashino appeared at places where he shouldn't be at, slashes would appear out of nowhere, and for that matter, there were instances where Nanashino's slash passed through Sanuki's body.They're not afterimages or the likes. They do have flesh and blood after all. It actually feels like the kid increases, butthey sure are behaving peculiarly. SanukiAfter cutting off the fourth Nanashino, Sanuki observed him while bathing in the spurt of his blood.In addition to their strange behavior, the Nanashinos also had greater speed and weight of slash.Among the strong people Sanuki knew within the nation, was there anyone that could deal with this storm of attacks?The current Nanashino was demonstrating strength so great that he, the Sword Saint', thought so.However, that did not last long either.The magic power that was expended at an accelerating rate eroded Nanashino's body.Even for someone abundantly blessed by the heaven like Nanashino, the work of altering occuring phenomenon and elevating physical abilities were things that could only be done for a few minutes once a day.That's why, die here for me! NanashinoSuddenly, the onslaught stopped.Without avoiding the slash that Sanuki released as a counterattack in that opening, Nanashino created a dozen Nanashinos by directing the magic power he devoted to attacking to duplicating his body, and had them to flood Sanuki.O-ohh? SanukiPeople with exact same faces came at Sanuki at a speed that was beyond human intelligence.Not all of them were living bodies, as some were even able to pass through the debris of the surrounding floors and walls to come to restrain him.Moreover, these Nanashinos showed not an ounce of fear facing the slashes Sanuki released, the slashes that should have hit their targets only passed through and came out of their bodies.Sanuki could do nothing to them, he could only received one-sided interferences from the other party.Though, it seemed like their purpose was not to defeat him, as they did not go at him at full power, keeping themselves around him. Sanuki, who was slightly confused, found that his room of movement was sealed.Welp, time to turn the table. SanukiThe Sword Saint' turned over his sword.The power in his body surged.It gathered at the handle of his sword, and was released in the form of Sword Saint' Slash' with just a flick of his wristSanuki's Slash successfully cut off all the Nanashinos, not passing through their bodies.However, the ordinary sword could not withstand the unreasonable move that was only allowed for the Sword Saint', its blade that had already been at its limit scattered in all directions at the end of the slash.And then, *thud*.A girl settled herself in Sanuki's chest.When he raised gaze while hugging the girl, he could see the upper body of a skeleton growing from her nape and the back of the escaping Pygmalion.Were they discarding the girl as a decoy to escape?The question went through his mind.Since his sword had already been broken, it'd be difficult to chase them.Should he settle with the second best option, that was to secure the girl who had been discarded for some reason, rather than to forcibly chase Nanashino who used strange moves and the still perfectly fine Pygmalion?When he dropped his gaze on the girl with such an indecision, her big round eyes locked with hisbefore she muttered,Self-Destruct'.Magic power concentrated to the point of being visible was released from her orifices.The skill Self-Destruct' that the girl activated was a great skill that caused enormous damage to everything that existed in the field, regardless of enemies or allies, while rendering the character that used it incapacitated.Its power was made up of a very simple formula: a sum value of five times the total value of HP and MP at the time of activation and the total of all the remaining attribute values'.What would happen if an executive boss who had a much higher HP than a player character were to use such a skill?The power of such Self-Destruct' need no mention, you could probably understand what would be the outcome of the building of Obsius Co. that received it, without words.The Self-Destruct' skill that Nanashino had Asanaga Ayako learnt according to the setting', this was one of his last resorts.The next moment, Obsius Co. exploded.
