I just killed the Kobold Lord and gave a healing potion to Diavel. I looked around and saw everyone frozen and speechless. 

(I messed up, didn't I?)

<Yes, you have indeed messed up>

<Ciel, what do I do now?>

<Yes, it is recommended that you assert dominance with a speech>

<A speech? What kind of- >

Kibaou points his finger at Rimuru and spoke

Kibaou: "YOU!" 

Rimuru: "Me?"

Kibaou: "YES, YOU. WHO ELSE WOULD I BE TALKING ABOUT."

Rimuru: "So, what do you want?"

Kibaou: "If you have so much power, why didn't you kill the boss from the start and instead just stood there doing nothing! Diavel almost died you know?"

Rimuru: "Well, I was observing you guys to see how strong-"

Kibaou: "You mean you almost killed someone because you were observing us? WHAT KIND OF STUPID REASON IS THIS!"

Diavel: "Kibaou, calm down. I'm not dead. See? I'm perfectly fine"

Rimuru: "Yeah, he's right. He's not dead. In fact, I was the one who saved him so instead of hating me, you should be thanking me."

Kibaou: "You're one of those beta testers aren't you! That's how you're so strong? Aren't you beta testers supposed to help the new players? Why aren't you helping then. If you beta testers helped us new players, maybe less people would have died so far."

When he said that, everyone was murmuring. They were conflicted on what to believe. Even though I did save Diavel's life, I did just stand there at the start doing nothing. Those were the two absolute facts. They were wondering whose side they should choose.

Rimuru: (He sounded so cool but I'm not even a beta tester. Well I'll just go with it)"Yeah, you're-

Kirito: "Hahahaha, HAHAHAHA. A beta tester? I wish you wouldn't compare us to those noobs. Most of the SAO beta testers didn't even know how to level up. You guys are way better than they were when they were starting out. I made it the furthest out of anyone. I know a lot of things that no one knows."

Kibaou: "Yo-You are just as bad as Rimuru. You two aren't beta testers, YOURE CHEATERS!"

There were shouts from the crowd in unison saying "Cheater! Cheater! Cheater!"

Kirito: "You got it wrong, nii-san isn't a beta tester. He is a new player like all of you. Even though he isn't a beta tester, he got better and stronger than me. It means that everyone here can get to our level as well, but you haven't. That just means one thing, you are....trash.

Kibaou: "Nii-san? He's your brother? Wh-What...he isn't a beta tester and yet he's so strong? Thi-This can't be. THAT IMPOSSIBLE, EVEN IF HE ISNT A BETA TESTER HE IS DEFINITELY A CHEATER."

???: "Ye-Yeah you're a cheater and a beta tester...a beater."

Kirito: "Beater huh? That a good name. That's right, I'm a beater. From now on, don't confuse us with other beta testers."

Rimuru: "Wa-Wait, Kirito don't drag me into this. I have nothing to do with this." (Also beater is a horrible name)

Kirito: "Nii-san, I'm going to the next floor. Are you going to come with me?"

Rimuru: "I'm coming." 

Kirito: "Quick, we need to occupy the best grinding place as fast as possible."

Rimuru: "Stop being a pushover, didn't I say I was coming."

I jumped up the stairs and landed right next to him and I whispered in his ears

Rimuru: "Don't go down the wrong path"

Kirito just looks at me as if startled. He whispers back

Kirito: "Don't worry, this is just an act. If I didn't do this other beta testers would have taken the blame."

Rimuru: "I see"

Asuna: "Wait!"

Kirito and Rimuru: "What is it"

Asuna: "What are your names?"

Rimuru: "I'm Rimuru"

Kirito: "Kirito"

Asuna: "Rimuru, Kirito. I promise I will get stronger than both of you and when that time comes, I want to talk to you two."

Rimuru: "Sure, that's not gonna happen anyways."

Kirito and I walk away to the second floor.

Hello amazing readers! Today we have a short chapter. I'm sorry that it took so long to publish another chapter but school work is really tough. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. As always, see you next chapter!

A/N: I never really liked the beater speech that Kirito gave so I thought of switching it up a bit to make it less cringe but I just didn't have any ideas and it became really messy.
