Chapter 05: As for the Heroes
In the meantime, the four heroes received training in magic right away. Vale Kimble, the captain of the second division from the Victorias army, was in charge of it.

“Oh, all of you are so outstanding!“
„What‘s so outstanding?“
„Let me explain: Originally one is supposed to only have one attribute. Of course there are exceptions and talented individuals possess more than one, but I never heard of anyone having three or even four attributes. Moreover, the light attribute is basically only used by ‚Pheoms‘. That all of you have it shows that you are truly Heroes.“
„And as far as I can tell from your magic, Taishi-sama and Chika-sama are the vanguard type, whereas Shuri-sama and Shinobu-sama are the rearguard type. Your basic statistics seem to confirm this, too.“
„It‘s quite the balanced party.“
„Yep!“
„I‘m sure our ≪Status≫ will grow according with our role when we level up.“
„You can call me just Vale, Taishi-sama.“
„Mine? I am level 48.“
„Indeed. Completing quests will also gain you experience points.“
All four got hooked.
„Ah, yes. Adventures are registered in a Guild.“
„C- Can we register there too?“
„Hell yeeeeeah~!“
“Y- You are this happy about it? Danger always follows an adventurer. I am quite surprised to see you so excited about it.”
“Yeah, I’m itching to act.”
“Yeah~ You can’t really do without a Guild~”
“That sounds quite promising.”
“Ah, but what about him?”
“Him?”
“Oh, right…”
“He got involved in all this because of us, right? You know, I feel a bit sorry for him.”
“Mhm~ But…”
“Oh?”
The other three kept silent on Chika’s outburst of anger. Sure, they had been in the same class, but they never talked to each other. And not just them, they never saw him speaking with anyone else.
“Be a loner elsewhere!”
“It just pisses me off! He rarely attends class, yet always scores full marks on the tests! Just why!”
Yes, Okamura Hiiro certainly didn’t attend classes regularly. And even if he attended, he was either asleep or didn’t listen. Yet for some reason, he got perfect scores on his tests. Chika was angry at that unfairness.
Shuri uttered so merely as a possibility, not in his defence.
Shinobu added to that.
Chika turned away, pouting. Taishi made a weary sigh.
That Vale added dono instead sama to his named showed the difference in their assessment.
“You might say… he’s a classmate, someone who studied together with us.”
“Eh?”
He might end up dead. Everyone present thought that. A heavy silence hung in the air. Although he wasn’t their friend, it was indeed unpleasant to lose a classmate.
“Aw, geez! There’s no use to worry about such a selfish guy! Instead, let’s think about getting stronger first!”
“What, got a problem? Besides, when we defeat the ‘Evila’ and bring peace, then he can live in peace too, right?”
“Chika-chan… You’re so kind.”
“N- No! I was just… Aw, geez! We’re done with this topic! No more! Got it?”
“Chika-sama has a point. We have to think about training you now.”
Hiiro found an inn for the time being and brooded over what to he needed to buy from now. He concluded that he wouldn’t last a day with his current funds.
Saying so, he fell into deep thoughts on the bed in the single room of the inn.
He repeatedly opened and squeezed his hand. By doing so, he felt that his body was unusually hot, he felt excitement.
The RPG-like world gave him a racing heart. A world he could only experience through books or games. Not even in his dreams would he have thought to experience one in real life.
Luckily enough, he had an overpowered magic. If he could make good use of this unfair magic, he surely would have a worthwhile life, even here.
His MP fully recovered after eating the “Addicting Seafood Noodles”. He could go out to level up right away, but so many things happened all at once today, so his mind couldn‘t keep up.
“Are you sure you want to accept this quest?”
The first thing he did after getting up on the next day, was looking at the quests at the Guild and choosing one.
Kill 10 goblins in the Clair Forest.
Reward: 35000 Rigin
