5 Main Character + Protagonist [1]

Amachi Shun looked at the unusual act of an animal.

The chains of nature were never seen here as the animals gathered at one spot like how a pokemon gather around Mew-Two...

*Woof* *Woof*

The dog was the most friendly as some began licking his finger once again.

The rabbits were leaping in a circle around Shun.

The duck flew and sat above his head. Slightly, but he could feel a tremor from above, caused by the duck's tail swaying aggressively.

The cats climbed above the tree with amazing agility and looked at him from above the branches of the tree...

At this moment, Amachi Shun's eyes were bewildered by the cat above the tree trunks.

Upon looking at it, one would point ot the cat's uncut long black fur. Similar to a panda, as black her back was, from neck to below was white. Similarly, her toe was white despite the leg being black.

Despite the lack of human care, her fur was clean and looked soft and silky. Only now did he notice that the animals around him were similar to the cat as well.

The cat's eyes that attracted Shun was an amber clear eye that contained an endless void in it. On the other side, however, was a clean emerald green eye untainted of any impurities.

Although he didn't like nor hate a cat, his gaze was locked onto the black and white cat and this silence continued... Until Shun finds out an unspeakable truth.

'The cat couldn't climb down...'

Shun was speechless at this moment as his hand continued to play with the surrounding animals. 'Couldn't... You just use that agility which you used before to jump down?'

Perhaps the case here is similar to a god-given curse to nerf a strong agility type player with height fear to balance out the game. Albeit so, it was ridiculous.

"Alright, come on, I will help you ou-" at this moment, as Shun stood with his two legs, a rabbit leaped and smashed onto Shun's leg

*crack* *crack*

Feeling as if a metal ball has collided with his leg, Shun laid down in pain.

The dog was barking toward the bunny while the rabbit's ears shifted backward without saying. Although the dog was one-sidedly barking, it seemed that the two were conversing… although it's just Shun's hunch.

Without much space, the dog and the rabbit began to move violently as the two transformed into a blurs unseen by normal human's eyes.

'So that is what's it. It's not that their curiosity overcame their danger sense. It's because they're too strong that the nature's food chain won't work on them. So there is no reason to be scared of after seeing a mere human.' Shun figured out why the animals here were so… social(?)

'Then this duck above my head too…?' Shun shivered.

"Duck-sama, are my head comfortable? If you have some discomfort please say right on." Shun said half-jokingly while carefully watching the dog and rabbit fight with unbelievable speed.

*quack*

The dog only used its paw to fight while the rabbit slammed it's body or sent a strong kick onto the dog. The herds of dogs have no sign of helping the dog out.

While watching the dog and rabbit fight for a while, Shun understood something. Although it's just his imagination acting wild.

First, when I tried to be human, the rabbit slammed its body into me.

Seeing that, the dog got angry because it was intentional.

The rabbits who know the reason for my visit refuted the dog because he was being soft with me when the training has already begun.

The dog talked back that it was just the first day of training and I only did it so to save the (name) cat so there's no need to be that harsh.

Then the fight began.

"Duck-sama, it will be a little bit aggressive but please stay still." Shun rubbed the duck above his head as he made a run-up with four legs then... Leaped!

*woof!* *woof!*

The dog's herd who saw Shun's brave leap to save the cat barked while the two animals fighting suddenly stopped at god knows when and watched as Shun's body separated from the ground.

Then...

There was no next. Shun's face smash straight into the tree and he fell, sliding down at a stance like Garou jumping straight into the ground in One Punch Man Chapter 212.

"Ouch..."

The cat jumped down from the tree and looked at Shun with an uninterested face and shifted her face sideway as if to prove that she really has no interest in lowly human.

...

That day, until it was late, the rabbit taught him how to run up a tree while the cat from time to time, unwillingly gives him advice.

By the way, here's the situation of cat giving him advice.

[*nyaa* *nyaa!* *nya~, nya!* despite unwilling, the cat was earnestly trying to give him advice that would help him.]

['hmm, I see. Sure! I will bring you cat food next time I come here.' the stoopid lowly human completely misunderstand the cat's earnest advice.]

"Crap, it's getting dark. If I don't get back right now, I might be late for today's dinner. Don't wanna break the rule. Sorry, masters, I have to leave now, and thank all of you! I will come back later."

*woof!* *woof!*

*grrrr*

*quack!*

*...nyaa...*

In a single day, Shun made so many friends that he can make a whole pokemon party. Albeit unfortunate, to Shun rather than his friend, his benefactor was much more important.

Maybe sensing this, or the time was late enough, the animals didn't stop him as he run from the spot... Four-legged.

After 8 hours of moving with four legs, although there was a slight awkwardness in it, the Shun right now was running more comfortably than when he came to this forest.

...

That doesn't change the fact that running tires the hell out of you. Not minding the public's look at him, Shun desperately ran back home with his tongue out like a dog.

However, rather than trivial fatigue, he had to eat dinner with Fi...

He arrived home and it was much faster than he expected. Only 30 minutes have passed since he started running.

While breathing heavily, Shun optimized his thought. To arrive at the forest, the dog lead Shun, it took him around 2 hours.

Shun swiped his sweats. Only when he was having a break could he finally feel the pain all over his body.

This was the pain to reincarnate his body to be able to satisfy his overwhelming curiosity.

***

"Nine...ty..... Seven!" Sweat slid down the middle-aged man's face as it directly dropped below him. Between the arm of the middle-aged man, was a small puddle of effort.

Every part of his skin was wet with sweat and with every minuscular movement, he made caused his muscle to scream in pain.

"Ni...nety Eight!" The middle-aged man continued to push himself.

*crack* *crack*

His body has already given up. Perhaps even his mind has surrendered, maybe even his heart gave n against this torture.

"Ninety... Nine!" It was unknown what was pushing this man.

"One... Hundred!" Clenching his teeth, he pushed his given-up arm forcefully.

*crack* *crack* *crack*

If there was one thing clear,it would be: to be able to defeat any villain with one punch. For that goal, he would accomplish any hard training.

"Haaaf... Haaaf. Alright, 100 squats remaining..." he continues.

Aight. That was okay.
