Many things happened during the year, first of all, he was able to freely move his new body after a week of continuous movements, he really liked his new tail, since he has the body of Meruem right now, he has more power than anyone else.
He tested his limits, and he was once again shocked about it, not even in the anime he seen what Meruem was really capable of, he didn't think he was even going 100% against Netero.
His strength, his speed and reflexes, his stamina, his agility and his durability were in a level that would treat the famous Shinso Vampires as a joke compared to him, but… He didn't have regenerative capabilities, but he didn't care much.
As long as he isn't hurt, he doesn't need regeneration, even if it wouldn't hurt have it.
Then things started getting bad, he was getting hungry, he tried to eat a fruit he found somewhere, but it was disgusting, he even hunted some animals, they were tasteless but better than nothing.
With time, he was adapted at killing any type of animals, but it wasn't enough, he needed to start to eat human or monster flesh, and need experience in battles.
Then it was the turn to train in nen, which needed 8 months to master all the techniques.
Ten: Was a technique that would envelop the user in his own Nen, without making it leak, it is a good defensive and offensive technique, and it offered a boost on the physical capabilities, he was capable of unconsciously using it.
Zetsu: Was a technique that would concentrate the Nen inside the body, to make it so that he would hide from people's senses, but he was still visible from the 5 senses, Gabriel used it to not destroy the area around him with his nen, and to limit his already unfathomable strength.
Ren: It was a technique that would enchant even more his strength, it is similar to Ten, just stronger and it would make his Nen leak away, but he even mastered one little trick, if he would have malicious intent while using Ren, it would be projected in the atmosphere around him, like bloodlust.
And then there was Hatsu, this is something more special compared to others, Gabriel, since he watched Hunter x Hunter, knew about Meruem's Hatsu, it was the nen ability that anyone would have,ì.
Each Hatsu would be personal, and his was Aura Synthesis, the aura he would devour, it would be fused with his own aura, constantly increasing it, and getting stronger every time he would eat someone who has Nen, or Youki, which was this world's power, that any monster would have.
It was like pouring water from bottles in a bottomless pool, it will always increase.
He then was able to master the advanced techniques of Nen:
Gyo: It would focus a bigger amount of nen than the normal amount in a part of the body, like his eyes to see hidden auras or anything invisible.
In: It was an enchanted version of Zetsu, which makes one's nen invisible, but unlike Zetsu, the nen would still flow outside the body instead of staying inside, so it would be perfect to hide somewhere.
En: This was a technique which would make Gabriel's Nen expand and is used generally as a radar, it would make anyone look at everything, even at the most small details, like ants walking around, leaves falling, and other things.
His range was a whopping 600 meters around him, but the informations he got was too much so he immediately stopped, it almost made his head explode with informations, so he decided to limit it to at least 50 meters, which is the maximum he could do without his head hurting.
Ko: This was basically an extreme version of Gyo, it would concentrate all the nen in a single part of the body, and strengthen it to an entirely new level, he tried to use it once, and he stopped using it. Because the space around his hand was distorted a bit.
He was afraid that he would attract some dangerous people, but thanks to god he attracted only arrogant monsters, one of them was an orc, which was easily dealt and devoured, even after some hesitation from Gabriel.
But when he tasted the brain, which almost made him puke from the looks, he almost forgot he was eating a corpse because it was the first tasty thing he ate since he came in this world, then he remembered what he was eating but stopped caring a bit.
And the last thing, he learned how to turn human, it was easier than what he thought, it ay be thanks to the human soul he possessed, he looked really similar to what he was before coming in this world, except that he was still short as fuck, and it pissed him really much he really liked his previous height..
But the feeling was gone when he found back his dick in his pants, he was really happy that is manhood didn't left him, he may be still a male Chimera Ant, but he didn't have a single idea about his own anatomy, and he didn't want to find out.
When he thought about his dick, he found another problem, how would he procreate? Will he be able to make the woman pregnant? Would he spit eggs from his mouth? Would it be like 'Alien' and the kid gets out from the woman's womb by tearing her stomach apart?
The thoughts he had in his mind frighten him a bit, and he wished he could just impregnate the women instead of the other possibilities he thought.
And at last, the year passed, sometimes he would enter in his human form and walk around a nearby city, which was Tokyo, and looked around, so he knew a bit the place, and now he was at the bus station with the invite to Yokai Academy in his hand.
Gabriel: When will he pass here?
Meanwhile, a black haired teen was walking near him, it seemed that he was waiting too, and Gabriel recognized him.
Gabriel: 'Oh, it's the little pussy of the protagonist…' (Like I said, he watched only the anime, I watched only the anime too so some things I read from the manga are new for me)
Then the bus arrived, and a creepy man was driving, Tsukune was scared of him, but Gabriel…
Gabriel: 'Is that… Waluigi?'
Both of them entered in the bus with their bags, how did Gabriel take a bag? Obviously he stole it from somewhere before coming here.
Gabriel sat somewhere and Tsukune, who was a bit anxious from the situation, sat at Gabriel's left and started talk.
Tsukune: Hello, are you going to Yokai Academy too?
Gabriel: Mh? Yes, you too?
Tsukune: Yeah, my parents enrolled me here, but aren't you too young to go to a high school?
Gabriel's eyebrow twitched a bit from remembering that he is much shorter than normal, and got a bit angry, but he took deep breaths and answered with a calm tone.
Gabriel: I am 16 years old…
Tsukune: ...Eh? Oh! Sorry, it's just that since you are really short, I confused you wit-
Gabriel: I'll break your arm if you talk again about how short I am.
Tsukune: A-Alright… My name is Tsukune Aono… I hope we can be friends…
Gabriel: *Sigh* I am Gabriel Brace, I came from the USA.
Tsukune: Cool, a foreigner.
They entered a tunnel now, and the bus driver started to talk.
Bus Driver: ...You are… The students enrolling at Yokai Academy?
Gabriel: Yep.
Tsukune: Ah, yeah.
Bus Driver: Hehe, in that case, you had best prepare yourselves now…
Tsukune: Wha!?
Gabriel: 'I am a bit excited, even if it isn't the first fanfiction world that I would like to enter, it's still a good one… And I am the Chimera Ant King… Superior to anyone…'
Bus Driver: Hehehe, when we come out of this looooong tunnel, we'll be right in front of the school, Yokai academy is a veeeeeerrrry horrifying school!!
Tsukune: Whaaa!!
Bus Driver: Ant King… You may be strong, stronger than anyone else, but you are still a kid, be careful.
Tsukune didn't knew what the Bus Driver was talking about, but Gabriel internally panicked, even if he was able to destroy anything with a simple gesture, the bus driver still gave him fear, even if he was many times weaker than himself.
Gabriel repeated the Bus Driver's words in his mind and gulped, it was true, there is a reason that Meruem lost to Netero even if he was many times stronger than him.
It was because his mind was too immature to consider the possibilities that humans can make, he would never think that Netero would have a bomb capable of almost killing him and poison him.
But unlike Meruem, who was around 40 days old, Gabriel had the mind of a 16 years old, so he is able to imagine many things that could happen, and he himself was a human.
He is practically superior to Meruem, possessing a body at the apex of the evolution, and possessing a mind that would always evolve and adapt to the circumstances, he may not be smart like some geniuses, but he was really good at school.
