After getting a scolding from the teacher, he had to stay until the break without classes to reflect on what he did. Because of that, he went to the school rooftop to wait for time to pass.
While playing with green wind in his hand in the shape of a whirlwind, Rito was stunned to see a spaceship crash right in front of him.
A door opened from top to bottom with steps, and something came out from inside.
With a very high-pitched voice, the alien murmured: "Finally, I'm here."
The alien seemed somewhat reptilian. He was very small, the size of a stuffed toy. His skin was green, and he had round, yellow eyes covered by a black outline resembling a mask. He also had large, pointed ears with two tips and rabbit-like teeth.
'Ghi Bree?' Rito recognized him.
There was no way he could be mistaken. Even though he was no longer 2D, it was impossible to fool his eyes.
A faint green light surrounded Rito, and he disappeared and reappeared in front of the alien.
"What?!"
The shock was visible on the green alien's face.
Rito crouched down and, with his left hand, grabbed his head.
"Hey, are you Ghi Bree?" he asked.
With his high-pitched voice, he asked: "H-How do you know? Who are you?"
"Rito Yuki," he replied with a smile: "I assume you know me, right?"
Ghi Bree trembled, and tears threatened to fall from his pupil-less yellow eyes.
"Please, don't kill me!" he shouted.
With his free hand, Rito created a whirlwind of wind, saying with a friendly smile: "It's all right, I'm not going to kill you. But, in exchange, you need to do me a small favor. You'll do it, won't you? Oh, and don't even think about transforming and threatening me, I know you're weak. Don't test me, got it?"
Rito's eyes closed in a smiling manner.
"Y-Yes!" Ghi Bree agreed: "H-How can I help you?"
"It's nothing complicated…" He opened his eyes while still smiling: "I just want you to transform into different types of beings and let me see. Simple, right?"
Rito lifted him while holding his rounded head.
He looked like a villain, but he had no sympathy for this alien.
Ghi Bree used this ability to seduce women from other planets, transforming into beautiful creatures of their species, deceiving different types of women.
Someone so vile didn't deserve his sympathy. Especially knowing the purpose of his being there.
"Look, Ghi Bree. After you do this for me, you're going to get back in your spaceship and leave, and never come back, okay?" Rito said. His tone was still friendly.
But Ghi Bree was trembling with fear.
"I-I promise!" Ghi Bree replied.
"Good boy," he said: "I'm going to show you some animals, and you'll transform, okay?"
Rito set him down on the ground.
Ghi Bree nodded his head like a rattle.
Taking out his smartphone, he began showing some animals.
Lion, bear, tiger, crocodile, even birds like eagle, falcon, etc.
Minutes later…
"Seen them all?" Seeing Ghi Bree nod, Rito said: "Start transforming and make them as big as possible."
"Y-Yes!"
Rito activated the Sage's Eyes.
Under his gaze, Ghi Bree couldn't hide anything.
When the first transformation happened, becoming a majestic 2-meter-tall lion, Rito's eyes analyzed everything and copied the process.
Ghi Bree continued to transform in a very cooperative manner.
It was a long few minutes for Ghi Bree.
In total, there were ninety-nine transformations.
When he finished, Ghi Bree had his tongue hanging out of his mouth, dripping with sweat: "I-I can't transform any more than this… C-Can I go now?"
Rito's eyes returned to normal, and he smiled: "Yes. Good job, you can leave now."
"Thank you!" Without hesitation, with his short legs, Ghi Bree ran to the spaceship and took off clumsily into the sky, soon disappearing among the clouds.
'What a kind alien, he even thanked me despite doing me a huge favor.' Rito shrugged with a smile on his face.
At the same time, he began to transform.
From a human, he started to take on the form of a majestic 1.9-meter-tall tiger.
The transformation didn't grant him power, only a change in appearance. It was merely metamorphosis; if he actually gained the power of what he transformed into, Ghi Bree would be very powerful.
The sensation of this metamorphosis was strange; he felt somewhat like a real tiger.
When he opened his mouth and roared, it wasn't a human imitating a tiger's roar, but rather, it sounded like a tiger roaring for real.
Hearing footsteps, he canceled the transformation.
The one who had just arrived was Mikado Ryouko, the school nurse.
Of course, Rito knew her other identity.
Mikado had green eyes and reddish-brown hair. She wore a lab coat over a pink blouse that slightly revealed the upper part of her breasts, secured by a belt at the waist, and a black skirt. She had a slender and mature body.
She looked in Rito's direction: "Hey, you. Where's that thing?"
"You're talking about the spaceship, Teacher Mikado," Rito approached: "If so, it's already gone."
She crossed her arms just below her ample chest, making them bounce. She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Ahh, you're that boy… Well, if it's already gone, then it doesn't matter."
She turned dramatically, making her white lab coat flutter, producing the sound of fabric.
Her footsteps echoed as she disappeared.
"…"
Rito was speechless.
That woman came and went just like that.
Shaking his head, not wanting to think about it, he smiled as he recalled the feat he had just accomplished.
The cost to copy Ghi Bree's transformations was minimal.
Each transformation cost him around 0.1% of Spiritual Mana per minute transformed.

Outside Earth's atmosphere, Ghi Bree touched his chest.
"Terrifying Earthling… I'll never return to this planet in my life!" He swore with his feet together.
That had scared him to death.
Even when he disguised himself as the most handsome man on a planet and had a child with a married woman and was hunted by her husband, he didn't feel this much fear.
Those smiling eyes still haunted Ghi Bree's mind.
He had never used metamorphosis like he did today.
When he saw that pair of eyes with a pattern of red stars, he felt that if he didn't put in his all, his life was over.
His heart pounded like crazy every second he stood before that demon.
"How could Lala choose to marry that demon…" he murmured with his trembling voice: "For a moment, I thought I was going to die after doing what he asked me to…"
