Chapter 10

<strong>E-Rank heroes’ unique items</strong>

The magic circle begins to shine .

No good .

There is probably no way to survive .

I don’t think that ruthless goddess will help me out of this situation .

The soldiers surrounding the magic circle are set up their bows .

The robed men held out their arms .

To me .

[If you try to get out of the magic circle, you’ll die, okay?]

The goddess warned with a smile .

There’s no sign that my classmates would help me .

No one will go against it .

There might be fear towards the goddess and the soldiers, too .

Kirihara who have the highest rank, looks intent on casting me away .

But, more than that–

There’s no one who risk himself just for an air mob .

There shouldn’t be .

Even if the mob disappears, nothing changes .

The Story of the Chosen Heroes .

Mimori Touka doesn’t have to be in it .

Unnecessary existence .

Pofu~ tsu

[Eh?]

The goddess threw something at my feet .

[Leather, bag……?]

[It’s a unique item of heroes . ]

Unique Item .

It’s like a special magic tool .

[When you are summoned, a hero is given a special item . And that little leather bag was your unique item . ]

They all bent over to look at the leather bag .

[My unique item…]

Everyone in 2-C created a fuzz .

Everyone has a face that looks like they want to ask, “He have such a thing?”

The goddess went ahead and gave an explanation .

[It’s okay . It was collected while you were still sleeping, and it’s carefully kept in a separate room . We will give it to each of you later . It’s more effective to use it in person . ]

I noticed .

The goddess and his men are doing bad things casually .

If you have a powerful unique item in the hands of a hero right after summoning .

If you go on a rampage, you may cause trouble .

So they collected the unique items before we woke up .

The goddess smiles .

[The point that a powerful unique item is given at the time of the summoning is one of the reasons why the hero summoning are appreciated . Well, then-]

The goddess looks at by leather bag .

[I tried injecting magic in it, but it seems that your unique item only emits light . ]

[Luminescence?]

[The point is the light . I think the inside of the ruins would be dark, so I’m sure you can make it a decent light . Also, since there’s a piece of jewelry on in… If you can safely go to the ground, you could sell it for the time being . It’s amazing!]

The goddess spreads her arms and looks back at the people of 2-C behind her .

[Everyone, have you seen it? The mercy that I gave Touka Mimori now… Yes, there should be a chance to live even in any level . The goddess gives mercy… even if you’re so weak! Even to the to be disposed of, E-Rank Hero!]

What appeal is that . . ?

The goddess turns to me again .

[But you people don’t need my mercy! Because you are better than him! Because you have a great power in yourself!]

The goddess raises her voice as the light in the magic circle intensify .

[All of the 2-C students here are heroes! There are ranks among you heroes . Perhaps you may feel uneasy about the difference in ranks! Maybe I may not be a good person… . but, don’t worry! You have been chosen! You are excellent! Look at him- Touka Mimori!]

My classmates are watching me all at once .

[He’s unmistakably a hero! But you all are different from him! You are more than D-Rank! You’re certainly someone better than him! That is, you who have the natural abilities since you are born!]

Even the lowest E-Rank heroes have it’s uses .

Finally, I understood .

The meaning of those words .

Sacrifice .

S-Rank Hero and A-Rank Hero

The seniors are “chosen” .

On the other hand, the heroes who are ranked as B to D may be less motivated .

Even in a different world, your rank is still low .

However, if you can recognize that you are above “someone” with the same conditions, you will find out the significance of your existence .

I can believe myself .

I’m better than him .

I’m still in a better state .

I’m better than Mimori Touka .

I’m really glad that I was not sent to the ruins .

All’s well that ends well .

I’m still lucky .

Deceptions .

Illusions .

Self-suggestions .

Mimori Touka is the sacrifice for the “ritual” set by the goddess .

It gives a sense of superiority to the heroes below B-Rank and it is made to produce confidence .

The sacrifice is the lowest– E-Rank Hero .

The same “hero” with the same meaning .

The feeling that I was sorted .

The feeling of being picked out .

[F**k…]

So that’s the reason .

That’s the kind of use I have .

There must be a monster which is more frightening than that three-eyed wold at the ruins .

I can only use this failure skill .

The status correction is hopeless .

I’ll surely die .

Surely .

[Please wait!]

The words which I thought would be impossible .

It suddenly reached my ear .

I raised my face .

What I saw is, Sogou Ayaka walking up to the goddess with a resolute step .

[This is wrong! Isn’t Mimori-kun our classmate!?]

[Wha- Wha- What rude things are you saying, Sogou~!]

Zakurogi tries to stop her in a hurry .

[Zakurogi-sensei is our homeroom teacher, so get your act together! Isn’t it your duty to protect your students at any time!?]

[Th, The situations different! If you’re that intelligent, shouldn’t you know!? I can’t help it! It, it’s Mimori’s fault! It’s because he’s E-Rank!]

[Even though Mimori-kun didn’t want to become E-Rank!?This can’t be allowed! Stop sending him to the ruins right–]

[You’re S-Rank Ayaka-san, right? Fu~ Well, there’s no other choice . ]

The goddess lowered her arms .

Then–

In a blink of an eye, the goddess went around behind Sogou .

[Strike!]

A blow behind Sogou’s neck, by the goddess’ sword .

[Ku~!!]

Sogou twisted her body and turned around .

It was a reaction speed that I thought I could only see in a fighting manga .

Taking advantage of the momentum she turned around, Sogou sweeped out the goddess sword .

Pisha~ tsu!

Is that the movement of those old martial arts?

With a dignified look, Sogou exhales .

[I’m sorry, but I’m not so easily def— gofu~!!]

The fist of the goddess whose weight and speed were different fell into the belly of Sogou .

[The first sword is a feint . That’s not something you can easily distinguish . ]
