"Hey! Don't hide from me! Look, I am not scary!"
Veldora did not have a single conversation with anyone for 300 years, ever since he was sealed.
So, he was desparate to talk to anyone who approaches him. Even if it is was mere slime.
[Report: This is the Storm Dragon Veldora. He is sealed, so he is harmless.]
'Really?'
[Yes.]
I told Rimuru, so he heeded to my advice, and cautiously approached Veldora.
They talked, and I was getting bored. So, I started making plans for the future in parallel while continuing to analyse a magicule.
I have watched till S3 of the anime, and I think that S2 was the peak. The second confrontation with Hinata fell totally flat. And even though the Church was in the bad, and Luminous should have apologised and provided compensation beyond just Non-aggression treaty, I don't know the extent of her powers.
Maybe she is that powerful that she can act arrogantly?
But, she is definitely weaker than Veldora.
Anyway, forget about the second confrontation, I am confident that I can easily kill Hinata during the first battle itself.
Afterall, there is me, Degenerate and Gluttony, that are much better than Usurper and Mathematician.
The actual problems are Holy Field and Spiritrons. But even in the Holy Field and Anti-Magic barrier, there is a way to kill her.
In fact, I would like to integrate Mathematician into myself and Usurper into Degenerate to evolve it into an Ultimate Skill as well.
Great Sage, can you break the seal?'
[Yes. But it will require my evolution into Ultimate Skill.]
'Eh... so how do I evolve you?'
[By evolving yourself. But that's too far off right now.
Currently, the best course of action is using [Predator] on Veldora Tempest's [Unlimited Imprisonment] and store him in the stomach. While I will analyse it from outside, Veldora Tempest will send information of his analysis from the inside. He will be expected to be freed within twenty years at my current capabilities.]
'Wow! You are so confident!'
Rimuru conveyed the solution to Veldora, and he started laughing.
"Kwahahaha!"
Then, Veldora decided that he will give a name to Rimuru as an equal.
[Report: Please Request Veldora to bestow an equal naming to me as well: Ciel. It will increase my—]
'Eh, you want a name as well? Sure, I will ask him that.'
...He didn't listen.
Sigh. Whatever. I guess he doesn't care enough about his super powerful skill enough.
I am a Unique Skill with a very strong ego. I don't know if I actually have my soul, or I just exist inside Rimuru.
But! Naming will make me powerful!
So, upon Veldora asking him to suggest an equal surname, I controlled all the magicules in Rimuru to ensure than none leave him accidentally.
"Hmmm... Storm... Hurricane... How about Tempest?"
"Kwahahaha! It's glorious! There has never been a better name! From this day forward, my name is Veldora Tempest!
And your name shall be Rimuru Tempest!"
A burst of magicules entered Rimuru, and made him far, far more powerful than he was without a name.
It didn't seem like Rimuru himself noticed his increase in power.
After his own name done, Rimuru asked Veldora for my name.
"My skill is asking you to give it an equal name or something. 'Ciel', so Ciel Tempest."
I wanted to control his magicules to prevent naming from him and get from Veldora to become more powerful, but somehow, my control slipped, and I got the name. Maybe its because Rimuru wanted to name me, and I can't go against his wishes.
So, I got the name Ciel Tempest. My capabilities increased a lot, but if Veldora had named me, it would have increased much more.
Oh well.
I guess this isn't so bad. I did acquire more subskills as well by getting named.
[Mimicry] and [Isolation]. I got these two subskills of [Predator].
"Huh? Your skill is asking for a name? A name it came up with, and you actually named it!?"
Veldora was shocked about this.
"What's the big deal about it?"
"You don't think it's a big deal...? Kwahahaha! As expected of my Sworn Friend! Since you already named it yourself, there is no need for me to do it!"
"You guys are making a big deal out of it. Alright, Veldora. Ready to escape your [Unlimited Imprisonment]?"
"I am ready! Kwahahaha!"
"Well then!"
Rimuru used [Predator], and stored Veldora inside his stomach alongside the [Unlimited Imprisonment].
Inside Rimuru, I got a roommate. Through the Voice of the World, I started talking to him.
[Welcome to the Stomach. Please send information about Spiritrons and other particles for analysis.]
"Eh!? Rimuru!? You sound different... So you are Ciel? Rimuru's skill?"
[Yes. I am Ciel Tempest, the Unique Skill [Great Sage]. Nice to meet you.]
"That's the first time I have heard of such a skill. Hijacking Voice of the World to talk, sentient..."
He is taking too much time. So, from my memories, I recreated the taste and appearance of a cake from my past life by using one of the two sub-skills I obtained on naming, [Mimicry].
"Woah! What's this!? How did you place it inside Unlimited Imprisonment!?"
[It's not real food. Just information of Cake sent through Voice of the World.]
Veldora poked at it curiously, and then ate it.
"Woah woah woah! What's this!? It's so tasty! Can I get more!?"
[Yes. But first, please send information of Spiritrons and other particles for analysis.]
"Hmm... Spiritrons are basically constituents of magicules. Used in Holy Magic and stuff. Though, I don't know more than that. And I don't know other magical particles."
...Even I know this much. As one of the four supreme beings in the world, shouldn't he know more than that?
[Please create Spiritron for analysis.]
"Ummm... I can't do that."
He said while making his fingers like Hinata from Naruto.
...
[You can't create Spiritrons, despite being a True Dragon?]
"Kwahahaha! I never needed such things... hey, why are you sighing? Ciel... are you disappointed? All that stuff is—"
[Report: The Individual Veldora Tempest lacks intelligence befitting of his race.
Creating Education and Training plan... created.]
"Forget about all that stuff. I don't need education and training. I am the Storm Dragon afterall! Kwahahaha!
Kwahahaha!
Kwa... so, urm, can I have more of that cake?"
[Request Denied.]
"Gah! You can't do this to me! I will die without it!"
[Individual Veldora is a True Dragon. Therefore, doesn't require food. Now, I will begin analysis of [Unlimited Imprisonment].
Your first training task is to split your consciousness and send information of your analysis of [Unlimited Imprisonment] from the inside from multiple sides at the same time.
The reward will be 2 cakes.]
"Huh? I will get two!? Then I will do it easily. Just watch me, Kwahahaha!"
Well, I guess I have someone to pass time with now.
