I FOUND A DOOR TO TENSURA AND BECAME BROKEN IN THE REAL WORLD TOO-Chapter 28: The Road to an Ultimate Skill and Royal Mayhem

After returning to his world, Yuuya took a deep breath and smiled in satisfaction. The sight of his Grandpa's house slowly being rebuilt filled him with a sense of pride. The contractors were making steady progress, and the once ruined property was starting to regain its former charm.

"Hmm... they're really moving fast," Yuuya muttered to himself as he watched the workers place the new wooden beams. The structure was beginning to take shape—sturdy, neat, and practical. Nothing too flashy, just as Yuuya had requested.

After greeting the workers and checking on the progress, he headed inside and plopped down on his bed. Still riding the high from his recent level-ups, he pulled out his worn copy of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and flipped through the pages.

"Alright... let's see if I can learn a few things from this," he muttered, eager to absorb more knowledge about the world he was adventuring in.

As he skimmed through the familiar pages, his eyes widened slightly.

"Unique Skills... and Ultimate Skills," he whispered.

He sat up, reading the section more carefully. According to the book, Unique Skills were granted to individuals with a strong desire or defined personality, and they often reflected their core traits or ambitions. Ultimate Skills, on the other hand, were the pinnacle of power—only possessed by the most supreme beings.

"Hmm..." Yuuya's golden eyes narrowed slightly. "I don't think I have a Unique or an Ultimate Skill... yet."

He closed the book, leaning back against his pillows as he stared at the ceiling in thought.

"It seems like those with Ultimate Skills are the strongest in the Cardinal World. Heh... that's it." His lips curled into a confident smirk. "My next goal will be to get an Ultimate Skill."

His fists tightened with determination, but a small frown crossed his face as a realization struck him.

"Wait a minute... but how do I even get one?"

He quickly opened the book again and scanned the details. After a few moments, he found the answer.

"Strong... desire, huh?" he muttered, his eyes sharpening as he read the passage.

The intensity of one's will could shape the creation of Unique or Ultimate Skills, making them an extension of the individual's soul and aspirations.

Yuuya's smirk widened.

"So that's how it works. If I want it badly enough and keep pushing my limits, I'll eventually develop one. Heh... I'll make it happen."

From that moment on, Yuuya doubled down on his training. Whenever he wasn't balancing school life, he returned to the Cardinal World, honing his combat techniques, magic, and physical abilities.

While Yuuya was diligently training, Owen and his group had returned to the royal castle. As promised, they were there to report to the king, Arnold von Alceria, regarding their encounter with Yuuya.

The royal audience chamber was as grandiose as ever—gilded marble columns, towering stained-glass windows, and golden chandeliers illuminating the vast hall. At the far end, sitting on an ornate throne, was Arnold von Alceria, the current king and Lexia's father.

Dressed in elegant, royal garments adorned with precious jewels, his blond hair and piercing blue eyes radiated both dignity and authority. His expression was calm, yet his gaze carried the weight of a ruler.

"──Raise your face."

"Ha!"

Owen quickly straightened his posture, lifting his head to meet the king's eyes. Despite being a capable knight, Owen felt the usual pressure whenever he stood before the king.

Arnold's calm gaze met Owen's.

"So, did you meet him? The aforementioned young man?"

"Ha! Just as Lexia-sama described, we were able to make contact with him in the Great Jura Forest."

The king's eyes narrowed slightly in contemplation.

"U-umu... The Great Jura Forest, of all places. And this man... he's from a foreign country, yes?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. His name sounded... very different from ours. Moreover, his appearance was quite distinct—dark hair and dark eyes. Such features are uncommon here."

"I see..." Arnold nodded quietly, processing the information.

Owen took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself to relay everything. However, just as he was about to move on to the next part, he made a crucial mistake.

"Even so... Your Majesty, please somehow reprimand Lexia-sama. When she met the young man in question, she... err..." He hesitated briefly, but the words tumbled out involuntarily.

"I was astonished because she suddenly asked him to marry her."

Silence fell.

Owen's eyes widened in horror, realizing what he had just said.

"Ah...!" He quickly clamped his hand over his mouth, but it was too late.

King Arnold's eyes slowly narrowed, his calm expression turning deathly cold.

"...What did you just say?" he asked, his voice low and dangerous.

"N-no, it's nothing..." Owen stammered, sweating profusely.

Arnold's piercing gaze hardened.

"What did you say?" he repeated, his voice sharpening with a chilling edge.

Owen took a step back, panic flooding his senses.

"T-that's just—"

"WHAT. DID. YOU. SAY?"

Before Owen could deflect again, Arnold's eyes glinted with fury. With a swift motion, he slowly drew the national treasure sword from its sheath—Slash Sword Greacle. The blade gleamed with a brilliant silver radiance, a symbol of the king's authority and strength.

Owen's heart sank.

"C-calm down, Your Majesty! It was just a misunderstanding!" he pleaded, raising his hands.

But Arnold's fury boiled over, and he slammed the tip of the Greacle into the marble floor, cracking it with sheer force. His voice echoed through the chamber.

"WHO'S THAAAATTTTT!? THE BASTARD WHO SEDUCED MY CUTE LEXIAAAAAA!?"

Owen's face drained of color.

"Ahhhhhhh! Why is royalty such a pain in the ass?!" he cried out, dodging to the side as Arnold swung the blade wildly, his anger manifesting in sheer destructive power.

Guards burst into the chamber, alarmed by the commotion. The sight of their king rampaging with the national treasure sword caused them to freeze in disbelief.

"WHAT DID HE DO TO MY DAUGHTER?!" Arnold bellowed, swinging the sword again and reducing a nearby marble pillar to rubble.

Owen, narrowly avoiding the debris, was running around the hall, desperately trying to calm the enraged king.

"Your Majesty, please! You'll destroy the throne room!"

"I'LL DESTROY THE WHOLE KINGDOM IF I HAVE TO!" Arnold roared, brandishing the sword again.

Meanwhile, unaware of the chaos happening in Blumund, Yuuya sat on his bed, calmly meditating after another intense training session. His magic aura flared subtly around him as he practiced his control.

Opening his eyes, he let out a satisfied sigh.

"Alright... I'm getting stronger every day. Soon, I'll have my own Ultimate Skill..."

Little did he know, back in the Cardinal World, a frenzied king was declaring war against an imaginary rival—the man who had stolen his daughter's heart.
