With This Face My Narcissism Will Be Justified...

In a luxurious office, a line of trainees waited to have their weapons checked. The officer in charge, a stern-looking man with a machine in his hand, inspected each weapon swiftly.

"This is good. Next!" the officer commanded in a loud voice.

Asuka stepped forward, placing his black katana on the table. The officer glanced at Asuka, then at the katana, before speaking.

"You're that Kaito kid, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Asuka replied, meeting the officer's gaze.

"This is Kaito's katana. It's approved. I'll send your license to your registered CAD ID." The officer nodded, then motioned for the next trainee. "Next!"

Asuka turned and headed towards Building B where his room was. 'Should I go to the training grounds to practice?' he thought.

*Ding*

A notification popped up on his CAD. Tapping it twice, he opened it, revealing a blue screen in front of him.

[Weapon Registration Complete: Katana "Silver" - License Issued]

Asuka smiled, satisfied. With his weapon now officially registered, he could focus on training without any distractions. After all, he can't afford to slack off anymore.

Gripping the katana, he made his way to the training grounds, goal increasing his mastery to advance.

*Ding*

Just then, another notification popped up on Asuka's CAD.

---------

<You've been added to the 'Blue' group.>

[Ruby: Hey guys, I found your info through the guild's website, sorry for that.]

[Ruby: I'm organising a meeting in my room, Building A, second floor, room no. 3.]

[Grey: Okay.]

[Ashton: I was bored anyway.]

[Ruby: What about Jane and Asuka?]

[Jane: What? There's that bastard Asuka also in our squad?]

[Ruby: Well yes, we can't do anything about it.]

[Jane: But why the fuck did you add him? I'm leaving then.]

[Ashton: Now I'm looking forward to our meeting more. When is it? When is it?]

[Ruby: Jane, calm down. I know he's scum, but we're not playing a child's game here. Our careers are at stake. We should work as a proper team if we want to get in the top 2.]

[Grey: I'm at the cafeteria. Where is Building A, by the way?]

[Jane: Why the fuck is that Bastard not replying anything? Is he ignoring us?]

[Ashton: Jane, that guy is leaving you on seen. Man, if it was me in your place, I wouldn't let this go...]

[Ruby: Ashton, shut up!]

---------

'How the Fuck should I respond to this?'

Asuka thought, scratching his head in frustration. A deep frown creased his face as he stared at the messages.

'Should I insult her back? No, I can't do that. Then should I just ignore it? Nah, I can't do that either. Fuck, let's just go with whatever comes to mind.'

After a moment's hesitation, Asuka began typing...

----------

[Ruby: @Grey take passage no. 1 from the cafeteria and you can reach Building A.]

[Grey: Thanks.]

[Asuka typing...]

[Ashton: Ohhhh there are chances of fire here hehehe] 

[Ruby: Ashton, shut up or I will mute you.]

[Asuka: I'm busy today, so I can't come.]

[Ashton: @Jane he ignored you.]

[Jane typing.....]

[Ruby: @Ashton I'm muting you.]

<Ruby 3 muted Ashton for hours.>

[Jane: Ruby, see that arrogant fucker thinks too highly of himself. He doesn't have time for lowly us.]

[Ruby: Asuka, I know you may be busy, but can you manage at least for a while? We have to get to know about each other's abilities so we can plan our strategy. The earlier, the better.]

[Asuka: Okay.]

[Jane: Can I come after he leaves?]

[Ruby: Jane, don't stretch the matter. I want to come to an understanding, at least a temporary one. It's not just you in the squad, remember that.]

[Ruby: Fuck, Typo.. I want you two to come to an understanding*]

[Jane: Ruby, now you're getting worked up.]

[Ruby: Anyway, let that be. You're looking good in your profile picture.]

[Jane: Really? Thanks.]

----------

'What pfp? I can't see anything. Whatever, I'll just get this over with,' Asuka thought, stuffing his hands into his pockets as he headed toward Building A.

"Hey Asuka, want to practice together?" Aang called out as he walked past Asuka. his sudden loud voice making Asuka flinch.

"Nah, I have a meeting with my squad members," Asuka replied, his tone weary. His expression clearly said, 'What a drag.'

"Oh, so you plan to meet the ladies like this?" Aang eyed Asuka up and down.

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to increase your survival chance from that woman, do something about your damn fat. just from looking at your fatty face, you will make her remember memories of her molestation.", he let out a sigh.

"Yeah, I know. I plan on working on it, so bye. I'll meet you later."

"No, later. Take this now and surprise them, see what magic happens." Aang handed Asuka a white-coloured potion with a wide grin.

"Physical enhancement potion? Bro, this is expensive. You're really giving me this?"

"I'm only giving it to you cause you can afford to pay me back. I want 190 million dollars before 3 months, or I'll fuck your ass, remember that." Waving his hands, Aang walked in the opposite direction. 

"Oh, I forgot to mention, as interest, you have to give me a full detailed report about the meeting. Bye, brother." with a small chuckle he again turned forward.

Asuka observed the white potion, then putting it in his CAD's storage. "Tsk, now I have to go to my room first."

*Sigh*

Reaching his room, Asuka sat in a meditation position in front of his bed, eyes closed and focused. 

With a quick, decisive motion, he drank the potion in one gulp.

"Yuck, so bad... I feel like vomiting now."

As the potion hit his stomach, a wave of numbness spread through his body, followed by intense pain. 

Every muscle in his body screamed out, and the pain was so severe that Asuka immediately fainted out.

...

<After 2 hours>

Asuka slowly regained consciousness, blinking at the ceiling. "Oh fuck, looks like I fainted," Asuka mumbled, feeling the lingering tiredness in his body.

"Let's get changed and go. I'm probably late. Huh...wait, my body feels different." As he started changing clothes, he noticed something unusual. 

His body felt different. He paused, looking down at himself. 

Due to the urgency, he hadn't noticed before, but he was no longer fat. He was now taller, slim, with long, smooth black hair instead of short.

"Fuck, is this really me?" Asuka mumbled again, watching himself in the mirror, astonishment on his face.

"I should thank Aang properly next time. This potion looks top-tier, still not comparable to Eldora's potions, though."

Opening his CAD, Asuka checked his stats.
