Chapter 3 Village Girl

Status?

When Chinatsu murmurs so, Joseph continues to explain.

This stone plate is a special item called Sacred Stone that has been blessed by God. If you hold your hand over this and imagine it to show your power, the stone plate will display your status.

When Joseph was signaling with his eyes, the white robe group began to give each student one stone plate. The same thin stone plates were also being handed over to Haruna and Chinatsu.

Haruna, does status mean something like social status?

Hmm, in this case, I think its the status thats used in games. I played it for a breather, but you dont have it at your house, right? Do you know the famous RPG?

Umm, those fantasy things where dragons come out?

Yeah. That kind of game has power, wisdom, magical power, and something like that for each character, those things are the so-called status. If we change this situation, we may have a status as well.

You sure know it well ah, thats right. You have younger brothers.

Chinatsu was a bit surprised that Haruna who loves exercise was familiar with games, but then she remembered that when she went to Harunas house, she was playing a video game with her small brothers.

Thats right. Thanks to him, I was dragged into playing. Well, its surprisingly interesting when you try it. Look, especially the joy of the boys are amazing, right?

Y-yeah.

Just like what Haruna said, one part of the boys are excited to the point its a little scary. Womens groups who have the same thought as Chinatsu are being taken aback.

Have the stone plates been given to everyone? Immediately, everyones first heroic mission will be displaying your status. By all means, I would like to see your great power together. Its simple. Its certain that you have the highest power. You just have to tell the stones to show your power.

When the men in the white robe returned to their original positions, Joseph gently urged everyone to use the stone plates. Haruna and Chinatsu are hesitating, but on the other hand, some people took action first.

Hey, look! This is my status oh, my job is a warrior, and its LV4? LV4, does it mean level 4? Is level 4 strong?

Oh, wonderful! If you are a level 4 warrior, it means you are a skilled strong person! As expected from Hero!

Seriously!? Amazing, have my hidden talent finally awakened!?

Cheers begin to rise with the students who used the stone plates as the center. At present, it seems that all the boys who took the initiative to display their status are being praised highly. Being affected by that atmosphere, the students who had been rejecting it are now reaching out to the stone plates while in half doubt.

Hee, I thought that level 4 was low, but it doesnt seem so.

I hate something like that. I feel like being deceived by the atmosphere.

Youre right, its kind of unnatural. What do we do?

Umm

Ah, what? Haruna and Chinatsu havent seen your status yet?

It was when the circle of status disclosure spreads and the two were hesitating at the stone plates placed in front of them, Mizohori Touko, the only girl in the group who quickly revealed her status, spoke to them.

Healthy tan skin and grayish hair color, shes wearing a uniform in a casual fashion that gives her the impressions of a gyaru. The serious Chinatsu cant understand her. However, Toukos line of sight is directed toward Haruna.

Touko looks not serious and her wording is rough, but shes a sports girl like Haruna and a captain from the karate club even though shes a first-year student. Surprisingly, shes caring and being yearned by the members. However, she kept losing in the match with Haruna, who participated as a helper in club activities. Because of that, shes one-sidedly looking at Haruna as a rival.

Haruna, quickly take a look at your status. By the way, Im a level 5 brawler! I dont really understand, but somehow it seems amazing! I was being highly praised!

It seems that Touko doesnt really understand the meaning because she doesnt usually play games. Still, being praised makes her happy, she proudly throws out her chest. She is overwhelmingly superior with her big chest.

I-is that so. Thats good. Is level 5 considerably strong?

From what that old geezer said, its being equivalent to a thousand men? Or something like that. He said it while being somewhat excited.

Being equivalent to a thousand men huh. But, do we really have that power ?

Like hell I know. Well, isnt that fine? Im going along with it as a recreation. Chinatsu, you are just overthinking. Look, Akiras job is a hero, you know? Pfft, it makes me laugh.

There was a handsome blond hair man at where Touko pointed. Toue Akira, a male student popular with girls who has recently begun to come into the limelight as a high school model.

Although he is slender and tall and also friendly, there are some rumors that hes a playboy whos dating several girls. Hes not bad, but Chinatsu pays attention to him as a boy to be wary of in the class.

For now, its just me and Akira whos at level 5. Cmon Haruna, do it quickly. You are a person that I acknowledged, youll definitely be on the good track! Well, it wont more than me though!

Ahaha What will you do, Chinatsu-chan?

Haa. It looks like everyone has done it, I guess it cant be helped. Its okay, lets just do it.

Yeah! Well then

Haruna was quick after Chinatsu showed willingness. It seems that she was curious about it.

When looking at such Haruna while sighing, Chinatsu also put her hands on the stone plate thought in her head for it to display her status. Eventually, a pale light emerges on the surface of the stone plate and it begins to write something that looks like letters.

Let me see, what kind of ability does Haruna haveah?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, thats enough. I get the gist of your situation.

Eh? Im about to go to the main problem, is that okay?

I put a stop to Katsuragi Haruna who had a fervent speech in front of me.

Good grief, that damn old geezer Joseph. Hes trying to push troublesome things to me again, damn

Um, Deris-san? Did you really understand from the explanation just now?

Canon asks so to me doubtfully. Of course I understand. If you are a member of the Magic Knights, you should cultivate that much insight.

I dont want to listen to peoples misfortunes meaninglessly. For the most part, this girl was lack of power contrary to others expectations, right? Being ridiculed by her friends that had expectation and the old geezer got disappointed. And then, the old geezer Joseph couldnt help the hero even after racking his brain, so hes trying to push it to me out of spite. Am I wrong?

Ah, its a little different. First, he told me to ask Leader to make her as her disciple, but she flatly refused. And after Joseph-samas decision, I came to ask Deris-san to make her your disciple.

In the end, its the same. Oi, you respect that womans will and ignore mine?

But, Leader is scary

Dont but me. Although her attire is well-ordered, by the point she was being entrusted to Canon, I understand that this girl is being treated badly. Before that, summoning a class mere high school students, is he sane? Oh jeez.

Do you bring the Sacred Stone? The talk wont begin unless I see her status.

Shishou, does that mean

Im not your shishou yet. Im just going to look at it.

(TLn: Im not translating it as master because therell be others who call him master but with different words, e.g. goshujinsama, itll be easier to tell which character is talking. Also, I like something like senpai, sensei, onee-chan, etc. to be placed as it is without translating it)

I tell Canon to quickly take the Scared Stone and make her display her status. Although she was being criticized, she should have got the gods blessing. She wont be bad that muc
