Standing in front of the crystal. I’m quite nervous. It’s like you’re being assessed. A sleek surface. I put my hands closer.

“Gulp..”

I put the palm of my hand.

Tap…

A faint light came to the surface. A gentle light. It can be said that it is weak.

The color is purple.

Gold and silver, black and white have a more special image. Purple? It’s the first color I’ve ever seen in my measurements. Or rather, this. Isn’t this light the weakest so far?

[Well, next person, please]

Goddess, no way… From the first crystal measurement, there’s always been a comment. There’s not even a word of mediocrity. Are you kidding me?

[Um, my assessment–] [Next person~!]

-was ignored. It was decided not have one. I could feel my feet dragging on the ground as I step away from the crystal. I go back to where I was before.

An air mob.

Even in a different world, I’m still air. Well, this is reality… I can’t be special even when I came to another world. There is nothing I can do. This is me. This is Mimori Touka.

It’s okay, like this.

An order exists. Whenever. Wherever. I can’t help it.

The mediocre result continued after me for a while. However, the result seems to have been better than me. The goddess also commented with a smile. Even though it’s mediocre. The measurement was finally over.

[It looks like we have all the best in the first half~]

The goddess puts her hand on her cheek.

[But if there are three S-Ranks and two A-Ranks, it’s too good. I’m not going to hope too much~]

In the order of AIUEO. Or Lines. Next is the last in 2-C.

Yasu Tomohiro

Yasu puts his hand on the crystal. I have a tremendous sense of tension.

[Go!]

A breathtaking relief. It feels like you are entrusting your own future. I feel like I believe in something at the same time. The robed man’s face became sloppy.

[Wha~!? Th- This is-!?]

The crystal was dyed black. Black smoke is rising up. The smoke is being released from the crystal. The robed man turned his eyes away.

[Goddess-sama! Th- This is–] [Yes… There used to be someone with the same reaction. It was the same reaction as the strongest man who was called the Dark Hero….]

A smile slowly surfaced in Yasu’s face.

[Kukuku~]

A compulsive laughter.

[It’s like a thought– it was about time.]

Yasu’s face have changed. Yasu absurdly asks the Goddess who still looks dignified.

[Let me know my rank, O Goddess!]

It’s not his usual Yasu where he speaks tediously. The tone has changed. The goddess answered.

[You are A-Rank.] [Hmm, same as Oyamada, huh. I thought the coolness is at the level of an S-Rank…]

An indignant Oyamada comes close to Yasu.

[Ah~ ha!? What is it~ Ah!? Yasu huh!? You bastard~ What the heck are you implying, mentioning my name like that!? Just because your results were a little good, you had the gall to say that, hah!? I’m alive right in front of you, hah!?]

Yasu got scared for a moment. Is it because of the accumulated habits? However, Yasu quickly smiled.

[The same, We’re already] [Hah!?]

This time, Yasu comes close to Oyamada with a challenging face.

[Let’s get along as the same A-Rank. Na–]

Excitedly, Yasu said.

[Oyamada?]

[What kind of tone is that, hah! Yasu, you bastard, Imma kill you! You— Uh!?]

It was as fast as a blink of an eye. In between the two she suddenly appeared, the goddess. Something like a magic formation is on her arms. She’s ready to launch her magic. She’s giving off that kind of vibes.

[A-Rank heroes, please forgive me for scolding you. If it were but a quarrel, I will overlook it a little, but I’m not going to allow the heroes to fight each other seriously.]

The goddess beamed.

[A-Rank heroes are valuable human resources.]

Oyamada can’t move. Yasu takes a step back.

Cold. Chilly. I feel shivers down my spine. Is this just the goddess’ intimidation? Or is this killing intent? For example, in front of beasts, will people be like this? I can’t move. I don’t want to move.

[It’s alright now, isn’t it? Next, I’ll show you how to use power in this world.]
