Chapter 16.1 (1/2)

Chapter 16 – Nanase Iori 2 – Part 1

I was able to persist for three days after the summoning.

The fourth day was no good.

I have destroyed my physical condition and went down with the sickness.

The living conditions are too different from j.a.pan.

All of the confusion the sudden summoning to this world brought.

And more than anything, the things left on the other side are too many.

I wonder if Okaasan is anxious? What about Airi?

Even I studied with so much effort, this is too much.

While everyone is working hard at practice, I sob all night alone in my bed.

Covering my eyes with a cloth to stop my tears is the only escape route my heart can think of.

But then, there was a lot of same despair as mine in the dark, every night, I could hear sobbing and whining voices.

The situation changed after a week.

Everyone started to accept the reality.

After falling into panic, calling out names, they found out that the situation is hopeless and reached the decision.

They have finally come to a movie-like world. Mine cla.s.smates began to enjoy this world thoroughly.

I also did my best to put on a brave face and partic.i.p.ated with everyone.

I have been able to obtain some rough information,

・We were summoned as Hero Candidates in order to oppose the terrifying Maou who threatens this country.

・Apparently, they are training the 31 of us (It seems that Kamijou-kun was not included from the beginning) in order to form the Maou Castle subjugation party.

・In other words, if we don’t defeat the Maou, we won’t be able to return.

・It seems they plan to select the hero through a compet.i.tion (details unknown).

・We are treated by the country as guests, everyone was given a private room, aside from leaving the town we are free, a VIP treatment that applies even the living expenses.

・Every one of us possesses a rare special ability called the『Skill』which are able to create mysterious phenomenon such as magic.

That’s about it.

I should be happy that I’m not treated as a slave, huh.

It has been a month since I came to this world.

「Well then, let’s start『Iori』-dono’s training now!!」

A very vast site in the Royal Castle.

One day in the early morning.

I was having fun training my skill.

「Then, begin!」

With the instructor’s signal, men covered in robes raises their staves at once.

I raise my voice.

「Absolute defense!!」

Buuun, a half-spherical barrier appears in front of me.

Various magic attacks rushed at me simultaneously.

However, the invisible barrier which I deployed a little while ago blocks all the attacks not leaving a single scratch on me.
