That's a balance and gameplay issue, mostly. In the area you fight your first slime, your first encounter can lead up to fighting 3 of them at the same time. If you struggled as much than in the VN, you wouldn't be able to beat the game without grinding like crazy.

Just consider that since it's a parallel dimension where he trained with "Sonya", maybe he had actual, honest to Alipheese the First, useful training.
