Chapter 7

If We Become an S-Rank Team by the Time We Graduate, There Won't Be Any Problem

โ€œIโ€™ll team up with you.โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œHuh?โ€

I canโ€™t hear them. I can only hear one voice. I canโ€™t hear the others.

โ€œWhy?โ€

โ€œSorry. The truth is, I didnโ€™t understand anything from the beginning.โ€

I wish theyโ€™d see it that way.

I mean, come on. Iโ€™m basically like a baby who just transferred here today. Itโ€™s only natural that I canโ€™t understand everything, look at it all objectively, and make sound judgments.

โ€œOf course, I noticed thatโ€ฆ Amagi-san is doing the practice alone.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆโ€

Amagi-san, whoโ€™s willing to listen to what I have to say, is as gentle and kind as ever.

Iโ€™m ignoring the vibe beside me that says, โ€œIf you joke around, Iโ€™ll kill you.โ€ Donโ€™t let it get to you, Toma Yumeno!

โ€œAfter that earlier conversation, when I got back to the classroom, everyone started telling meโ€ฆ or rather, scolding me.โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

โ€œThey told me that just by being next to Amagi-san, Iโ€™d be worn out by her magic power.โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDidnโ€™t you know that?โ€

Damn it, stay out of my head! โ€ฆNormally, Iโ€™d thank her for her words, but right now, Iโ€™d rather she left me alone.

โ€œI did feel a little pressured next to herโ€ฆโ€

You idiot! You almost passed out from itโ€”what are you even saying?

โ€œIs that soโ€ฆโ€

Sheโ€™s still suspiciousโ€ฆ Maybe I should give it one more push. No, judging by Amagi-sanโ€™s expression, this topic is fine to drop now.

Letโ€™s move on to why I didnโ€™t say โ€œYes, gladly!โ€ right away.

Yeah, thatโ€™s better.

Letโ€™s go with the sympathy strategy!

If I donโ€™t, the beautiful girl glaring at me wonโ€™t ever let me off the hook, and the angel wonโ€™t feel any better.

โ€œI was hoping to take things easy and work quietlyโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œHuh?โ€

Uh-oh. My two angels just turned into two demons. Is there a hole somewhere I can crawl into? I completely messed up the timing. Itโ€™s a scorching hot day, but I feel like I might freeze from their icy stares. Or maybe if I freeze, I can pretend Iโ€™m not here? Freeze, body of mineโ€ฆ

โ€œUmโ€ฆโ€

โ€œSo you came to Japanโ€™s top explorer training school, planning to slack off and just graduate with okay grades? Are you mocking us?โ€

โ€œIโ€™m so sorryโ€ฆโ€

And down I go, groveling.

Iโ€™m such an idiot, stepping on a landmine while trying to console them.

This is badโ€ฆ Sayamura-san is leaning forward and looking seriously angry.

Even the angel looks like sheโ€™s mad at me.

โ€œEriina , letโ€™s hear him out? Yumeno-kun has his reasonsโ€ฆ Heโ€™s a transfer student, after all.โ€

Oh, she wasnโ€™t mad. Maybe she was just struggling to calm down her friendโ€™s anger.

โ€œTch, if Sakura says soโ€ฆโ€

Iโ€™m sure Sakura-san is Sayamura-sanโ€™s weak spot, or the person she wants to protect.

What a good friend.

โ€œThe reason I transferred is because I left a certain team.โ€

โ€œA team?โ€

โ€œAnd that made you transfer?โ€

Theyโ€™re actually listening normally, now that theyโ€™ve decided to hear me out. Theyโ€™re probably both very serious people.

โ€œI basically ran away. The team I was on was an S-rank team.โ€

โ€œWhat, S-rank???โ€

โ€œThere are only a few S-rank teams around here, like the ones led by Terumitsu Jinguji, Mitsuteru Takamura, and Kiyosumi Shidoโ€ฆ but I didnโ€™t think any of them had high school-aged members.โ€

Feeling their surprised gazes on me, I give a wry smile. Itโ€™s not something I like to rememberโ€ฆ the stare of the devil.

In Japan, there are only five S-rank explorers.

Each team led by one of them is classified as an S-rank team.

โ€œEriina , I think he was in Shido-sanโ€™s team.โ€

โ€œIsnโ€™t that Shidoโ€™s reverse-harem team?โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s the rumor, yeah.โ€

It seems like hearing my story has calmed them down a bit.

The prickliness and suspicion in their attitudes seem to have lessened.

Meanwhile, remembering that devil makes my expression stiffenโ€ฆ No, I canโ€™t let it get to me. Iโ€™m here to move forward.

โ€œWell, itโ€™s true. Though, being more than ten years younger, I wasnโ€™t directly involved.โ€

โ€œI see.โ€

โ€œBut they did pressure me.โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œNo way?โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

So, I decide to be honest.

Theyโ€™ll probably be shocked, but if I donโ€™t share this, they wonโ€™t understand why Iโ€™m hesitant.

They invited me so openly and straightforwardly, and I want to respond sincerely.

โ€œIs that why you left?โ€

โ€œPretty much. Honestly, the treatment was horrible. I was dragged around with no breaks and constantly called in, and because of my second unique skill, I even gotโ€ฆ well, harassed.โ€

โ€œWhat?!โ€

โ€œIt wasnโ€™t exactly physical, but I was definitely approached.โ€

โ€œWhat?!?โ€

Amagi-san is blushing bright red. Oops, maybe sheโ€™s not used to this kind of stuff?

โ€œThatโ€™s what pushed me over the edge. It wasnโ€™t like they immediately pounced on me, so I had a chance to gather evidence of the harassment and bring it to someone understanding at the Dungeon Association. It took about half a year to even find someone willing to listen, thoughโ€”most people donโ€™t go against high-ranking explorers.โ€

The two of them fall silent.

But since theyโ€™re listening, I continue.

Sorry, maybe this is just for my own satisfaction, but I canโ€™t stop now.

After that, I submitted the formal withdrawal papers, arranged the transfer to this academy, which is among the best explorer training schools in Japan, and I escaped.

In a country committed to cultivating explorers, if Iโ€™d just said I was quitting, no one wouldโ€™ve listened.

So I said Iโ€™d continue as an explorer but refused to stay in a problematic team.

The senior official who listened to my story ended up as my guarantor.

Even so, Iโ€™m sure the devil hasnโ€™t given up and might try to recruit me again once I graduate and am free.

Thatโ€™s why I wanted to stay low-key.

I shared all of this with the two of them.

โ€œIโ€™m sorry for inviting you without knowing your circumstances.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m sorry too. I was only thinking about Sakura and got mad without considering you at all.โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

They apologized.

Theyโ€™re really nice people.

โ€œButโ€ฆ why team up with Sakura? Are you sure youโ€™ll be okay working together?โ€

โ€œUmโ€ฆโ€

โ€œDonโ€™t push yourself. Iโ€™ll be fine on my own. Iโ€™ve been doing it alone this whole time, after allโ€ฆโ€

Donโ€™t make such a lonely face.

Iโ€™ve already decided.

โ€œNo, Iโ€™ve made up my mind. Please, team up with me.โ€

โ€œHuh?โ€

I say it again. I need to make this clear.

With everything thatโ€™s happened, I donโ€™t want to just shut myself away and ignore the people around me.

In the first place, I wanted to be an ordinary guy who didnโ€™t even have events like this happening to him.

But itโ€™s already too late for that.

Ah, maybe I made the wrong decision when I hesitated.

But it canโ€™t be helped.

If I can team up with such a cute girl, then maybe I can turn this situation from a minus to a plus.

And then I declare it boldly, even if it sounds absurd.

But if it means moving forward with an angel beside meโ€ฆ it doesnโ€™t feel like a bad choice.

โ€œWhen we graduate, letโ€™s become an S-rank team together.โ€

โ€œWowโ€ฆโ€

โ€œYumeno-kunโ€ฆโ™กโ€

The once-chilly atmosphere feels like itโ€™s warmed up a bit.

Explorer Training Academy. It is a school created by the country to train those who explore dungeons that suddenly appeared in the world. The resources obtained from dungeons are so valuable and powerful that they significantly influence national strength, leading both the country and society to fully support explorers. Top explorers are considered heroes, and those who stream their explorations are popular figures. Tลma Yumeno, who transferred to this academy, used to belong to a reverse harem party led by an S-rank explorer but escaped from the leaderโ€™s sexual harassment, hoping to spend his remaining time until graduation without standing out. Meanwhile, in his class was the beautiful Sakura Amagi. โ€œHuh? Is she an angel?โ€ However, despite being an incredibly strong solo explorer, she was isolated due to her negative unique skill, โ€œMagical Power Release,โ€ which harmed those around her. Soon after transferring, Tลma found himself fighting next to Sakura thanks to his unique skill, โ€œGrit.โ€ This is a story about Tลma, who aims for a โ€œlaid-back yet moderately relaxedโ€ life. Unbeknownst to him, his talent attracts attention, and he reluctantly grows to aim for becoming an S-rank explorer.
