[Moving to the fantasy continent of Atsbaran. The world where level 5 protagonist ‘Kaido’ resides.]

[You have become an ‘adventurer’ of Atsbaran.]

As soon as I opened my eyes, a familiar yet unfamiliar landscape greeted me. It was a city from the middle ages era. However, contrary to the middle age cities I knew, which were usually dull, this city had a unique and vibrant atmosphere. The road was paved with many different colours and all the buildings were shiny, polished and colourful. In the blue sky above, a winged dragon could be seen gliding freely while horned monsters were pulling carriages instead of horses or oxen.

On the street, many different races as well as people, whom I presumed to be adventurers, were walking around wearing their own equipment. But strangely, all the female adventurers were wearing extremely revealing equipment and they were all stupidly beautiful. Meanwhile the male adventurers were all shaggy and ugly, and their equipment was very rustic.

“Just what… How could the fashion sense develop so disproportionately here?”

All of the women’s fashion was flashy and beautiful. But the men’s fashion was all ridiculously bad. It was to the point that I felt overdressed just by simply wearing my dull black ether suit.

After roughly grasping the atmosphere, I quickly tried to sense Aracelli’s energy. However, I couldn’t feel her energy at all. On the contrary, I felt a dimensional wave near me and dashed towards it.

Woooong-!!

In an alleyway devoid of people, the space several meters above ground starts to tore up. After a while, a naked figure with white unblemish skin and jet black hair popped out from it. I quickly moved towards her landing point in order to catch her with a piece of cloth in my hand.

“Kyaaaahh!”

Aracelli screamed and flailed violently as soon as she landed in my arms. But when she finally raised her head to look at me, her movement completely stopped. A smile bloomed on her face.

“Thank god! It seems like you are okay, Professor!”

“Of course I’m okay…”

“That’s right….” She nodded her head with a somewhat meaningful expression.

I took out a teenage girl’s clothes I had prepared in advance from my inventory, and gave it to Araceli. She went into one of the empty houses nearby before coming out a few minutes later fully donned in those clothes.

“Professor, are these clothes common in your world?”

“Well, it’s similar. What you are wearing right now has a bit more fantasy-like design, though.”

“Aha! So, are these clothes to your tastes?”

“That’s… right? At least for this situation?”

Araceli then smiled, as if she somehow felt good.

“You are ready, right? Let’s go.”

“Okay! Are you going to hunt those who monopolize the world’s blessings too here?”

“Yeah. But I haven’t found him yet, though.”

After leaving the alleyway street, we walked slowly while savouring the scenery.

‘The level of the protagonist is still seriously low. Has he not awakened his power yet?’

If I find him now, I could easily kill him with just a slight twist on the neck. But of course, it wouldn’t be that easy. This was especially true in the ‘Japanese-style isekai’ genre. Even if the protagonist’s neck was twisted, had his heart cut into pieces, or had been forced to go through the most horrific torture, he would ultimately end up being resurrected by the power of a spirit or even a dragon and came back with even greater power.

In other words, l have to kill him using a ‘story’ in which he’s completely dead.

“Oh, Professor… That….”

When I followed where Aracelli’s finger was pointed at, I could see a black-haired boy dressed in a school uniform rather than dull pieces of equipment. For some reason, the boy’s eyes had a different colour. His right eye had a normal black pupil while his left eye was dyed red. On top of him, a hashtag I was so familiar with was floating.

‘Found you.’

He was Kaido, the protagonist of this world. Currently, he was walking with some adventurers while talking gleefully. We quickly trailed closely behind them. And when we finally arrived at their destination, it turned out their destination was none other than the ‘Adventurer Guild’ building.

[The Protagonist Kaido, has used the sub-skill ‘Language Unification (S)’ from the main skill ‘Common Sense (SSS+)’.]

Before long, a language very similar to Japanese came out of the mouths of all people in my surroundings. It was such a mystical yet bizarre phenomenon because I couldn’t sense any magic flowing from him. It was similar to what I felt when Lacanthal casted a translation spell at the 4 hunters of the Association previously.

“Kaido! This is the Adventurers’ Guild. Do you really want to be an adventurer?”

“Of course! If I didn’t become one, I wouldn’t have any money.”

“But… until just recently, you couldn’t even hunt a single goblin by yourself and we had to save you every time. Besides, didn’t you say that you came from a place where there were no monsters? You don’t know much about this place, is it okay for you to be an adventurer?”

“I can’t help it. Because this is the only way to wander the world and find a way back home.”

“Fufu, it’s nice to see Kaido’s confident appearance.”

A girl, dressed in extremely exposed clothes, whom I presumed to be an assassin from the dagger on her hips, said so and slapped Kaido’s back!

Wait a minute… isn’t it common sense that if someone ends up in an unfamiliar world and wants to earn money right away, it would be better to go to a restaurant and do a part-time job like serving or delivery?

It doesn’t seem like it was the case for a protagonist, though.

Aracelli and I took a seat on one of the empty seats and watched Kaido closely.

“You are Kaido? If you want to become an adventurer, you must take an aptitude test.”

“Aptitude test?”

“Yes. It is a test to check which class you would fit into as well as your parameters.”

“I’ll do it right away.”

“Then, put your hand on this crystal ball.”

Could the aptitude test really be over with one crystal ball? It seems too easy and convenient…

“Kaido, don’t be depressed if your magic power is too low. If you just have around 20 or 30, it’s at a level that you can go adventuring with us.”

“HAHA! Yes, she is right. Though, I would prefer it if it comes out around 50!” One of the adventurers on the party said.

“Then, let’s begin.” The receptionist said.

Soon, Kaido placed his hand on the blue crystal ball. Moments later, the air inside the building started to swirl wildly.

[The protagonist ‘Kaido’ acquires the isekai cheat ‘Infinite Magical Power (SSS+)’]

Wooonngg-!! Wooonggg-!!

Craack-!!

Shatter-!!

“Huh?!?!?!?”

“O… Oh my God!”

“Th…this is the first time the crystal ball broke since the legendary aptitude test of ‘Black Dragon Mercenary King Perticas’ 33 years ago!!!!”

Everyone who witnessed the scene was shocked. On top of it, the face of every woman in the building turned beet red as they fiddled like a fish out of water.

Why, though?

“Is it really that great?”

At the same time, unlike everyone around him, the protagonist spoke indifferently.

I sighed at his question. Everyone else, together with their grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin knows his power was a scam. Even the neighbor and his daughter-in-law and his whole family knows it, but it seems that it was an unspoken rule that only the protagonist would remain oblivious to his own overpowered skills.

Bump!

When a commotion broke out on the first floor, the door on the second floor suddenly blasted open with a loud thud. And before long, someone walked down the stairs towards the first floor.

“Ah… it’s ‘Golden White Knight’ , Searen!”

“Whoa… She’s still beautiful, as always.”

“Why did she suddenly appear?”

The blonde woman in white armor, who I guess is called Searen, looked around the first floor and walked towards Kaido. Then as soon as she stood before him, she stroked his cheek.

“What amazing power. I’ve never seen anyone with such a large amount of magical power in my entire life. Hey, what’s your name?”

“Yes? My name is Kaido.”

“Kaido-kun was it? Let me introduce myself, my name is Searen, the Golden White Knight. To be honest, I thought I was strong… but compared to you, I am nothing. I can’t even be compared to your toes.”

What a load of crap… (P/N Exactly my thoughts.)

“I want to ask you something, will you join my guild?”

If this world follows the basic rule of Korean-style novels, he would reject her invitation without any second thought and make a guild himself. But because this world follows the basic rules of Japanese-style novels…

“Yes, I would love to!”

And the reason for him joining her was as simple as it could get.

It was because Searen is pretty.

* * *

Contrary to how urgent the system sounded when she briefed me, Kaido only showed the growth rate of an ordinary protagonist so far, nothing more nothing less. In the meantime, I tried to cook some story in order to kill him, but as always, nothing came to mind.

“Kaido-kun!!! Awesome!”

“Oh My God… It’s only ‘Fire Ball’, a basic spell!! How can it be that powerful?”

“I cannot believe it.”

It was obvious, but let me tell you this… The magic in this world could be easily activated by simply memorizing the casting words without studying it in depth.

I could only sigh and shake my head at how ridiculous it was. From what I know, magic doesn’t differ much from world to world. For example, the most famous mathematical formula on Earth, the Pythagorean theorem, also applies in another world. The law of triangle also didn’t change just because you’re in another world. That was also the case for magic. The process of accumulating magical power in the body, operating it mathematically, and releasing it was a law that could never be changed. But somehow, this world managed to ignore that law.

“Aracelli. What do you think?” I asked Aracelli who was standing beside me.

As soon as Kaido decided to accept Saeren’s offer, we also took the test to join her guild, ‘Sword of Clarity’, which was not hard at all as I had stats comparable to an SS rank while Aracelli was… Aracelli. And currently, we were acting as one of Kaido’s mindless supporters whose sole role was to just chase after him and exclaim ‘Wow, that’s amazing, Kaido-kun!!’.

“Um, well…” Araceli, like me, exclaimed, ‘Wow, that’s amazing, Kaido-kun’ before furrowing her eyebrows. “That’s definitely magic. But magic can never work like that. It feels as if the magic formula was forcibly twisted… Ummm.”

Even Aracelli, an Archmage, couldn’t see through the magic of this world even after seeing how Kaido cast his spell with her own two eyes. That fact alone was enough to tell anybody that this world’s magic was bizarre and ridiculous.

So, reluctantly, we decided to watch Kaido a little longer and followed him deep into the forest. His purpose of coming here was to hunt the ‘Black Wolf Kazaracun’, who was called the boss of this area.

It was something I realized after several instances… But this world really likes to attach a moniker before the real name of everything. I wonder if I would find a ‘Silver Spoon Silver Spoon’ once I return to the city later.

While those thoughts passed through my mind, I glanced around the group. There were a total of seven people in the party. Aside from myself, Aracelli and Kaido, there were ‘Hardcore Fangirl’, ‘Overly Kind-Hearted Girl’, ‘Exclamatory Vending Machine’ and ‘Flag Man’. They were all pretty loyal to their roles, for example.

“Oh! Kaido defeated Kazaracun with only one magic cast!”

“Oh my God, to be able to use such magic…! So far, there have been only 9 wizards in history who have succeeded in controlling such a crazy amount of magic power at once and all of them have become an Archmage who made a name for themselves in history… Kaido, are you perhaps planning to become an Archmage?”

“Hey hey, is it real?”

This kind of reaction had happened about thirty times throughout this hunt. And lastly, the situation would always end with the reaction from the ‘Overly Kind-Hearted Girl’.

“Ugh, I feel sorry for the wolf.”

According to ‘Hardcore Fangirl’, she was a beautiful girl who hails from a clergy family. Though, because literally every girl in this world was beautiful, I couldn’t figure out why the word ‘beautiful girl’ even exists in the first place.

The ‘Overly Kind-Hearted Girl’ ran towards the fallen wolf. Then she plopped down to the ground and casted a healing spell towards the wolf.

Wait a minute… Why did she do that? Didn’t we come here to hunt it in the first place?

“Elizabeth! That’s dangerous! Come back here!”

“But… How can I stay still when there is an injured creature in front of me? I want to heal this wolf…”

[E/N: So, you beat this wolf to the verge of death and now you are planning to heal it just to beat it up again or potentially put your comrades at risk???? Overly Kind-Hearted Girl? More like Overly-Stupid Girl.]

“Elizabeth….. a woman like you, seriously ….”

An exasperated comment, or maybe a truly touching comment come out from the mouth of Hardcore Fangirl’s mouth, it was then followed by Kaido who nodded his head with a serious expression.

“That’s fine, you can heal it.”

Wait a goddamn minute… then why did you hunt it earlier?

“I’m sure Kazaracun will understand your warm heart.”

Eventually, the Overly Kind-hearted Girl began to cast her spell in full throttle towards Kazaracun, whom her friends had pummeled until not too long ago. And then, suddenly, knights in steel armor appeared out of nowhere and encircled our party.

“Hey! Ka- Kaido-kun!” Overly Kind-hearted Girl stuttered as she looked at Kaido with pleading eyes.

“HAHAHA! Foolish! Healing the wolf you tried to hunt! Are you crazy!?!?” The knight shouted and stepped forward with his swords pointed towards Kaido.

“I didn’t like you from the moment you joined ‘Sword of Clarity’. Did you think that a mongrel like you could come into our guild?”

“Ka- Kaido-kun… we have to forget her and run away!”

“That’s right. Kaido, think clearly. We cannot defeat them with our own strength.”

“We have no choice but to step back now!”

“…”

Except for the main protagonist, no one seems to have a sense of camaraderie or anything like that. Was this event happened because whoever controls the story flow wants to emphasize that only the protagonist had sympathy?

“No, I will not abandon her!” Kaido exclaimed as he pointed his hands towards the talking knight.

“Kah ha ha ha ha! Your magic is useless against us! Unless it’s at least a C rank magic… Huh? What are you doing now?”

Crackle-!!

A spark of lightning suddenly began to erupt from Kaido’s hand. At the sight, all the knights started to laugh at him.

“Kah ha ha! Even a passing dog knows that the only attack-type magic is fire element, and the only defense-type magic is earth element! What are you going to do with lightning magic?”

Without answering him, One of Kaido’s eyes turned red as he smiled softly.

“Chain Lightning!”

Before long, a stream of lightning struck the knight who kept taunting and looked down on Kaido before jumping towards the other knights.

Crackle-!! Crackle-!!

“Aghhhh!”

“AGHHHHH!”

All the knights soon collapsed, only the taunting guy could barely raise his head to look at Kaido.

“Yo…you bastard… how can you do something like this with lightning magic!!!”

Then Kaido sighed and shook his head.

“You don’t know? ‘Steel’ is weak against ‘Electricity’. It’s common sense in my world.”

“It can’t be!!!”

At that moment, the guy collapsed with an expression that seemed to have realized something after looking at his armor.

“Hey hey, is it real?”

“Wow… In his world, such great knowledge is ‘common sense’… What a wonderful world…”

[The protagonist, Kaido has activates the skill ‘Common Sense (SSS+)’]

It was only then that I could vaguely understand how this world works.

(P/N: God, please save me from this arc….)
