Hey, Takatsuki. You're awake.

　I was alone in a daze and thinking, when someone approached me.
　When I turned around, there was a refreshingly handsome man standing with two beautiful women.

　-- Sakurai Ryosuke.

　The center of the class and the ace of the soccer club in the first year.
　He is the unmistakable rear-end of the class.

It's a good thing that you're a member of the team. Thanks to you.
'I'm glad. I was worried when I heard that Takatsuki-kun wouldn't wake up.
Uh, thanks for that.
　Honestly, I don't like him.
　He's someone who is the opposite of me.

'Have you heard about his status and skills yet?'
Well, sort of.
　I told them briefly about my skills.
　They also told me their own skills.

　Sakurai-kun is the 'Hero of Light' skill.
　The two girls behind him are said to be the 'Sage' skill and the 'Holy Swordsman' skill.
　They've all hit the jackpot, haven't they...............d*mn it.

By the way. Would you like to join our party, Takatsuki?
What?
　What's the matter with you all of a sudden?

What, Takatsuki-kun?
　Eri Kawamoto, who is next to me, says.

'Another party is better for Takatsuki-kun...'
　The other girl is Saki Yokoyama.
　She is one of the most beautiful girls in our class.

To tell you the truth, we're leaving tomorrow. That's why I'm talking to my classmates.
What, tomorrow?　Aren't you early?
　Don't you ever train?

Ryousuke's a 'Hero of Light', so he doesn't need to be trained.
'I've been nominated for Knight Commander of the Sun Nation.
　Mr. Kawamoto and Ms. Yokoyama explain to me with enthralled expressions.

'Would you like to join us, Takatsuki?
　An invitation to a party, huh?

'I don't know anyone around here, and I think we should help each other out.
　Sakurai says with an innocent smile.

''Mmm,''
　Think.
　Isn't it bad?
　No, wait.

　Even if you go with me, all you can do now is carry your stuff.
　If you're not good at it, you're an errand boy.
　Sakurai-kun is a good guy, so he wouldn't do such a thing.

　But the two beautiful women on either side of you look at me.
(Hurry up and say no.)
　He speaks with his eyes.

'I appreciate the invitation, but I'll pass.
Well, that's too bad.
　Sakurai-kun was really disappointed.

'If Takatsuki-kun says so, it can't be helped, right? Oh, right. Why don't you teach him swordsmanship, Saki?　Stay here for a while.
　Kawamoto-san says something funny.

'Then maybe Eri should teach her magic!
　Yokoyama-san is quick to retort.

'Hey, don't be silly!
You too.
"'Mm-hmm.
　Ms. Kawamoto and Mr. Yokoyama are laughing at each other.
　At first glance, they seem to be close, but they seem to have something to think about.
　The man responsible for it doesn't seem to notice the delicate atmosphere, though.

'Well then, if you change your mind, you can always give me a shout.
　He smiled briskly and left.
　Kawamoto-san and Yokoyama-san are silent.

　Ah, the two girls stared at each other for a moment.
　I think I heard their tongues.
　I'm afraid of female conflict.

　Sakurai-kun, don't get stabbed...?
　I'm a little worried.



　◇



Hey, Takatsuki.
　After a while, I was approached by another group.

''I heard that you were the weakest 'water wizard' of the Seven Attributes?''
And that's elementary, right?　De-Sasa.
You're below average status...

　There's a flirtatious guy named Okada who's good friends with Kitayama, and a gal named Mr. Kawakita.
　Kitayama is there too.
　The three of them hang out a lot at school.
　But when they're all together, they're just a bunch of yankees.
　In other words, I'm not very good at it.

"Hey, hey, what are you going to do for a living?
　Okada asks me, grinning.

"I haven't decided yet. And you, Okada?
Me?　I'm a fighter!　I'm going to use my 'Great Sword, Super Grade Skill' to slay the monsters!
"I have the skill called 'Great Magic'. I can use all the advanced magic of Fire, Water, Wood, and Earth!　Isn't that awesome?
　I didn't ask Mr. Kahoku, and I'll reply, "That's great.
　In short, I'm proud of you.

''That's great, you guys have skills that you can use right away. I'm a dragon knight, so it seems I have to start by catching flying dragons first... It's a pain in the ass.
　Kitayama seems to be enjoying himself while doing so.

''You're also a 'spearhandler, advanced' and 'Vikings'!　It's a luxury!
Hey, when you get the dragon, give me a ride.
Oh, I'm on it.
Hey, hey, hey, don't hit on my girl.
I'm not hitting on you!
　Okada and Mr. Kahoku were going out?
　I didn't know.

　In the end, they barely asked me about us, and I ended up listening to them bragging about it one way or another.

　It's been a month since I arrived in another world.

　A third of my classmates were taken by a great man from some country or a scout from an organization.
　The ones who disappeared early were super powerful skill holders like the 'Brave Man of Light'.
　The scouts seemed to be the quickest ones, and various people came in to replace them.
　As I listened to their stories, I began to understand the situation of the continent we're on.

　The continent we're on is called the 'Western Continent' and there are 6 countries within it.
　To summarize it briefly.

The Land of the Sun (Highland).......The leader of the continent. It is the most powerful nation on the continent, leading the continent in population, military and financial strength.
The Fire Nation (Great Keith)........Half of the country is a desert. The martial arts are thriving, and beastmen and mercenaries are numerous.
The land of water (Roses)...............................the country we are in now. Lots of tourism. And the church is very strong.
Tree country (spring rogue)........Most of the country is forest. The elves are very powerful. There are also beastmen.
The country of commerce (Cameron).........Casino management and moneylending are thriving.
Earth (Culliran)........Underground state. The dwarves are powerful. Metal industry is thriving.

　And so on. Relations among the six countries are reasonably good.
　At the very least, it seems there is no war.
　Also, there used to be a country called the Moon Country (Raphiloig), but it has been destroyed now.

　My classmates were scattered to various countries according to their scouting requirements.
　There was not a single scout for me.
　.........haha.

　Currently, I'm taking a course in 'Magical Studies, Elementary'.

　I don't have any classmates from the previous world.
　I'm with a group of children in this world who are in the lower elementary grades.

''Takatsuki-san is new to this world. I hope you all get along with him.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
　The children, in unison, speak in unison.
　Only one of the elementary school kids is in high school.
　It's embarrassing.

'So, today we're going to study the attributes. There are seven attributes in this world, each with the following characteristics.
　Grandma's teacher writes out an explanation on the blackboard.

"The Sun" ... light, thunder, wind.
The Moon - Darkness, death, curses.
"Fire" - Fire, heat.
Water - water, ice, fog
The tree - plant, poison.
Gold - good luck, fate, space and time
Earth - Earth, stone, metal

Each of the seven attributes has its own goddess. Except for the moon, the other six attributes are widely believed on this continent. As you know, the moon is the attribute of darkness and death. You must not believe in it.
""Yes."

'And no matter which magic you use, you must have magical 'mana'. To use strong magic, you need a lot of mana, and to do so, you need to raise your level...
　The lecture will continue.
　First, let's study hard.


　◇


　It's been three months since I came to another world.

"Mister Tuckey. Goodbye.
Yeah, you too, Fujiyan.
　Fujiyan was scouted.

　The other party was not the Adventurer's Party, but the Merchant's Guild.
　It seems that he had made a connection with a merchant who came to the Water Temple.
　Fujiyan is firm.

''I intend to work as a merchant in the city of McAllen, which is the closest city to the Water Temple. If you ever stop by, give me a shout.
All right. I'll look for Fujiyan when I get to that city.
Then good luck with your training.
Yeah, you too.

　We shook hands firmly with Fujiyan and parted ways.
　I hadn't always had many friends, but once Fujiyan was gone, I hardly had a chance to talk to my classmates.
　More than half of the first members who were there had already left.
　I missed them.

How's your water magic technique working out, Makoto-ni-chan?
　These days, a boy in my class is the one I talk to.
　He's some kind of nobleman's third son.

"Waterball.
　I utter a voice, and a ball of water the size of a softball appears in the palm of my hand.

　The magic procedure is.

Generate -> Manipulate

　The procedure for activating the waterball is

　Water generation → Water manipulation (to form a ball)

　It goes something like this.

　The strength of the water magic that can be generated depends on the amount of magic power (mana) the user has.
　Water manipulation is said to be dependent on something called 'proficiency' in magic.
　My magic power (mana) is at the beginner's level, so it's very low.

　It's all I can do to make such a small waterball.
　Fortunately, 'proficiency' seems to improve as much as you use magic, so I continue to use magic every day.

'Wow!　How did you get that far in three months?　It took me two years to get to that point myself, Fireball!
　A fireball the size of a basketball appears in the palm of the boy's hand.

　It's huge.
　It's about five times my size.
　I'm a bit on the verge of tears.
　The boy has the "Fire Magic Intermediate" and "Swordsman Intermediate" skills, and he's determined to become a magician.

　I wish I could have become a magic warrior too.
　I don't have warrior skills, I can't be a warrior-type profession.
　I'm going to have to do my best to be a wizard.

Let's do our best, Makoto ni-chan!
He nodded emphatically, "Yeah....


　◇


　Six months have passed since I came to the other world.
　The scouts have hardly come to the temple anymore.

　The remaining classmates, including me, have to figure out how to swing themselves.
　However, they have 'Swordsman, Advanced' skills and 'Wizard, Advanced' skills, so there's no need to be that pessimistic.
　Except for me.

　I've currently started to train in the 'Traveler' and 'Thief' skills, in addition to the 'Wizard' training.
　This was a derivative of the 'RPG Player Skill', which I was able to learn.

The Traveler skill is useful in many aspects of travel, such as Animal Dismemberment, Cooking, First Aid, and Ignition.

The Thieves' skills include "Detect", "Disarm", "Evade", and "Escape", all of which are useful for detecting danger and escaping from enemies.

　Both are essential for me, who plans to work alone (solo).


　◇


　Nine months have passed since I came to the other world.

　There are only three classmates left, including me.
　I don't have a chance to meet them.

　Lately, when I'm not training, I spend most of my time in the library.
　It's a way to learn the language of this world.
　If I can read, I can read.
　I don't know much about this world.

　Its history, races, demons, geography, diseases... Disease....etc.
　In three months, I have to leave this place.
　I've added to my knowledge of this world as much as I can.

　--about the history of this world.

　The years of this world are known as the Salvation Years.
　Currently, it is 1001 years of salvation history.
　The year 0 is the year that Abel, the savior, defeated the Great Demon King.

Abel the Messiah.

　According to the history books, he was a brave man who possessed the two skills of the "Hero of Light" and the "Hero of Thunder".
　You're a cheat.

Abel, the savior, is the founder of the continent's largest kingdom, Highland.
　He defeated the Demon King and founded the country.
　A royalist and brave man.
　I was able to learn about those histories in the library.

　However, there is little history left before 0 years of salvation history.
This is because it was the era of darkness when the Great Demon King ruled the continent.
　That's why the history of this world is so short.

　A year has passed since I arrived in another world.


　My classmates have all disappeared.



　--I was the last person in Class A of the first year.
