Chapter 35
The class’ growth record
Going back in time, 2 months after the class summoning incident, the entire class, led by Tenjouin Hikaru was spending yet another day in the castle courtyard, training .
“Very well . Let’s stop here for today!”
Hearing the order of the knight responsible for coaching them, the entire class immediately crumbled on the ground almost like a puppet that lost its thread .
“Well done, everyone!”
The only one among them who remained coolly standing while sweating from his forehead was Tenjouin .
“You’re pretty amazing Tenjouin . How could you maintain your composure like that?”
“Hmm, I think it’s just the difference in status . ”
Looking at his own stats, Tenjouin answered his male classmate .
Tenjouin Hikaru age: 15 male Human Lvl25
Physical points: 2080/2080
Magic points: 1980/1980
Skills
Light magic – Sword master – Taimaken
Tenjouin’s status are the highest among his classmates . The way in improving one’s status depends on the individual, with 10 to 20 considered as the normal rate .
Compared to that, the class’s raising rate is 40 while Tenjouin was ascending by 70 .
Tenjouin’s ascending rate is told to be given to one person once in every 1000 years and that it could be even higher than that of the first generation hero, making the kingdom’s expectation swell up even more .
In addition to that, Tenjouin possesses the special skill【Taimaken】skill, which is basically the prominent skill of a real hero .
The first generation hero is the hero who was summoned to this world before the class .
He was summoned 100 years ago in the demon tribe war and saved the world, or that’s what the tradition says .
(I wonder if I got one step closer to the first generation hero with this…)
Tenjouin, who heard about that legend, started to secretly admire the first generation hero .
He wanted to become like him .
He wanted to save the world too .
Hiding these ambitions in his heart, Tenjouin observed his status and grasped his growth rate .
“Tenjouin-kun, well done today . ”
Appearing before Tenjouin, was a relatively short girl with a long black hair tied up in a random way .
“Ya, Miki . Is the magic group done for today?”
“Yes, just now . ”
This girl, Tendou Miki, was one of the one of the most beautiful girls in the class .
The class was divided into swordsman group and magic group . As for those who possess both magic and sword skills, including Tenjouin, they participate alternately in both groups .
Judging from her Miki’s fast arrival, Tenjouin guessed that she used【Teleportation magic】and said .
“Miki, you used 【Teleportation magic】again, didn’t you? It’s better for you to not get used to it . ”
“But I wanted to meet Tenjouin-kun as soon as possible . ”
Not seeming to reflect on her actions, Miki replied with an ‘ehehe” while blushing .
Knowing that it would be useless to warn her any further, Tenjouin let out a light sigh .
“Good work today, everyone!”
This time it was the princess of the castle, Lurian who gave a few words of thanks to everyone who was sitting on the ground, then slowly approached Tenjouin .
“Well done today, Tenjouin-sama . ”
“Thank you, Princess . ”
Making a long stretch, Tenjouin replied to Lurian’s praise .
However for some reason, Lurian seemed to have offended and made a cute frown .
“I told you that I don’t mind you calling me Ruri . ”
“I’m sorry, I can’t call the princess of a kingdom in such a way . ”
With Tenjouin firmly refusing to call her by a nickname, Lucian replied with an “I see…” in a sad expression, then took back her composer and changed the subject .
“Regardless of that, did you get used to 【Anamz】?”
“Yes, I’ve grown accustomed to it these 2 months . ”
【Anamz】is the name of this world . The continent is separated into 3 main sectors where lives humans, demons and the beast tribes . Apparently, there are no elfs .
Answering with a “I’m glad” to Tenjouin, Lurian started bashfully hesitating to say something .
“Um, Tenjouin-sama . Would it be fine by you to have some tea with me after this?”
“Ah! That’s not fair! I wanted to go with Tenjouin-kun to a cafe as well . ”
Miki was the first one to react to Lurian’s invitation to Tenjouin .
“Miki-sama, you went with Tenjouin-sama to a cafe just recently . ”
“We just went shopping that time, we didn’t go to a cafe . ”
Miki and Lurian started having an argument .
“We can just go to a cafe the three of us . ”
“”I prefer only both of us!””
When he tried to calm them down, he ended up getting shouted at by the both of them .
Receiving their extreme anger, Tenjouin didn’t speak another word and kept watching to them arguing .
“Then let’s give Tenjouin-kun to right to decide . ”
“I understand! Let’s do it then . ”

Finding himself forced to make the final decision, Tenjouin couldn’t hide his bewilderment .
“C’mon now, Tenjouin!”
“Tenjouin-sama . ”
“”Who are you going to chose to go with?”
Pressed for a decisive answer, Tenjouin, losing his patience, thought of an acceptable reply .
“B-Both of you . ”
And those were the words that came out of his mouth .
“There’s no way you’d go with the both of us!!”
“Please answer seriously!!”
Of course, his words weren’t admitted by them and he received further critics .
Meanwhile, the rest of the class that sitting on the ground were tiresomely watching them while feeling fed up from this kind of scenes .
The summoned class spent yet another peaceful day as they trained, waiting for the time to come .
The time when they will have to defeat the demon lord .

Bonus
I don’t have friends
“Chief~ why are you so strong~”
“That’s because I wasn’t summoned with my class to another world . ”
“How are the others doing then~?”
“I don’t know . They’re probably still there . ”
“What kind of people were they~”
“Let’s see… huh?”
“What is it~?”
“I can’t remember . I don’t remember what kind of people they were . ”
“Why~?”
“Could it be that someone is purposely making me forget about them?”
“Isn’t it just because chief didn’t have any friends~?”
