23-Fellow level




 
 A week after playing against the seventh grade class, our class came to the Steel Forest managed by the Ifrus Magic Academy.

 This steel forest is inhabited by C-rank (level 30-50) demons.

 This forest is mainly used to raise the level of students in the upper grades and for training.

 Normally, first-year students are not allowed to enter the Steel Forest, but since I defeated a seventh-year student in a battle and all of my classmates except me were above the proper level, the headmaster gave me permission to use the forest.

 The day before I came to the Steel Forest, my classmates confided in each other about their levels and professions, and it went something like this

 Name:Luke.
 Race:Human
 Occupation:Wise apprentice (level 125)

 Name:Luna
 Race:Human
 Occupation:Attendant (level 52)

 Name:Refa
 Race: High Elf
 Profession:Magic Archer (Level 80)

 Name:Merdi
 Race: Beastmen
 Profession:Magic Warrior (Level 60)

 Name:Liushin
 Race: Dragonoid
 Profession:Magic Warrior (Level 105)

 Name:Luca
 Race: Dragonoid
 Occupation:Priest(Level 62)

 Name:Yoko
 Race: Demon tribe Nine-tailed fox(level 99)
 State: Subjugation (Halt)

 Name:Mai
 Race: Spirit race(level 60)

 Name:May
 Race:Spirit race(level 60)


 .........Yeah, a lot of things are wrong.

 First of all, Luke was a 'tertiary apprentice' with over 120 levels.

 Well, this is good.

 Luke is said to be the grandson of a wise man, and I saw him use ultimate magic, so I'm not that surprised by this.

 ─ No, of course I was surprised.


 Luna was a secondary position, an attendant magician.

 Huh? On Commencement Day, Luna got tangled up with a nobleman named Nard or something, but I didn't have to go help her, did I?

 Luna's level would have been able to kick it off.


 Rifa, Meldi and Luca were also over level 60. As for Ryushin, he was level 105........


 Then, I came out that Yoko is a demon race. I also told her that she was currently in a master-slave contract with me to show everyone that she wouldn't harm them.

 This was discussed beforehand with Tina and Yoko.

 However, this was the first time I knew that it was level 99. It seems that Yoko's brainwashing technique is effective on those below my level, so the only people in our class who can resist Yoko's brainwashing are Tina, Luke and Ryushin.

 Maybe it was a good thing that we were able to make a deal with them before Yohko started to get weirded out.


 The last thing that surprised me was that Mai and Mei were spirit people. A spirit race that is humanoid and tries to enter the human world is even rarer than the Dragonoid.

 Mai is a spirit that governs fire, and Mei is a spirit that governs water. And the spirit race doesn't have an occupation, and as they level up as a race, they become stronger.


 Everyone except me was over level 50.

 Only I'm level 1........

 Tina and I once went to defeat a demon together, but again, the curse never raised my level.

 I'm terribly embarrassed, but I think it's not fair that I'm the only one who doesn't tell them about my level and profession when everyone else is disclosing it.

 I haven't even told Tina, but I finally have to come out about my level.

 I'll explain to Tina later, including the curse, and apologize for not telling her──thinking this, I was going to show the status board to everyone.

''Oh, I don't need to see Hurt's status. Or rather, I don't want to see it.

What?

 Suddenly Luke said he wasn't interested in my level.

'Honestly, I thought I was the strongest in this school, except for Jee-chan (the school principal). And yet, my confidence will be torn apart if I'm convinced that Tina-sensei is stronger than Ji-chan, and Hurt is even stronger than her,

 He's not uninterested in my status.

 He's grossly mistaken, but I'm a level 1.

''I don't want to know about Halt-kun's status either. I can't believe that a non-brave man is stronger than Tina-sama, who I respected as a hero of the race...''

 Rifa says so, but since I came to this world after being reincarnated, I'm essentially treated as a brave man.

''I don't need to hear it either. I came to this academy to become strong, but they say that goals that are too high will destroy you. I'll follow Luke and the teacher as my goals for a while.

 Ryushin says he doesn't look at my status either. Everyone else seems to be of the same opinion.

 Even if they say so much, if I try to show them the status board, they might think I'm a guy who wants to show off.

 I quietly closed the status board.
