All of the students lined up with me and Kayaka at the back. One by one, the students' status were recorded in something like a crystal orb and inscribed in a metal plate.

According to the students who were given a plate, they are called a Status Plate. They served as identification when in a country and also serves as a membership for the adventurer's guild.

“Who knew that an adventurer's guild exist in this world. This really is a fantasy world.”

“I know right? Hey, you know that in fantasies there are other races and polygamy is accepted?”

“Which means beast girls! Elves! Harem! That kind of stuff!”

“!? Ohhh!!”

A group of male students who got their status plates were loudly spouting some things. Their true intentions were coming out as the girls were glaring at them with hate and cold eyes.

I can understand the charm of what they're saying, but at least talk in a low voice. While saying that in my heart, it was now Kayaka's turn to take her status plate. She placed her hand on the orb and her status was displayed to a robed man and the princess.

“Hmm. A crafting type. You will be able to strengthen others by making equiment they want. Roy! Please write her status down.”

While the robed man Roy was writing down her status, Kayaka looked at me and stared at my face with a worrysome expression. I gave a smile to ease her, and she was handed her status plate.

“Next!”

Next was me. I slowly went toward the orb. The students were clamoring about, seeing as the “King of the School” was about to get his status revealed. Some were excited and some were staring at me with sparkling eyes.

‘Sorry, but please don't hope for much.’ While I was apologizing in my heart, I placed my sweaty hands on the orb. My status was exposed to the students, and the princess.

“…Ha? There must be some kind of mistake. Please try again.”

The princess beckoned me to try again and I placed my hand on the orb again. The result, nothing changed.

“…The orb must be broken princess-sama.”

“Wait, please, the honored hero behind you, please try and place your hand on the orb.”

The student behind me was staring in shock after seeing my status. Hmm? Was he the one I caught earlier in the hallway?

While I was worrying in my heart, the student dragged his body towards the orb. He placed his hand on the orb and displayed his status.

Name: Hyoudo Ryou

Level: 1

Skills:

[Martial Arts 6]

[Swordsmanship 6]

[Language Comprehension 10]

Titles:

[Summoned Hero]

His status was displayed without abnormalities.

“What is the meaning of this? Does this honored hero have no skills except for language?”

The princess was asking herself with a low voice. But I was able to hear it thanks to how close I was.

“… For now, give him his status plate. I'll consult with esteemed father about this.”

“Yes! Princess-sama!”

I was given my status plate and I headed towards Kayaka. The students were staring at me with blank expressions due to shock. I gave them a smile just to show that I am okay.

“Kouta-nii, what should we do now?”

When I came near Kayaka, she asked me a question.

“For now, wait I guess.”

While we were waiting, the student who was given his status plate after me was heading in our direction. If I'm not mistaken, his name was Hyoudo Ryou, right?.

“Senpai!”

“What is it?”

“Please let me introduce myself. My name is Hyoudo Ryou. First Year Kendo club member.”

That explains his skills, but where is mine?

“And what business do you have with me, Hyoudo-san?”

“Yes! I saw your status earlier when you were called.”

Kayaka narrowed her eyes at Ryoudo for his statement. Noticing this, Hyoudo's face twitched and sweat poured on his face.

“Please don't misunderstand, Kayaka-chan.”

When Kayaka heard what Hyoudo called her, a vein popped in her head.

“What did you call me? Hyoudo-san?”

A black aura surrounded Kayaka causing nearby studets to pale. Hyoudo, who was the focus point of this black aura, was sweating bullets and trembling.

“Please forget about that Kayaka. That won't happen again right? Hyoudo-san?”

I sent Hyoudo a lifeboat.

“Y-yes senpai! Please forgive me Endou-san!”

The black aura vanished as if nothing happened and Kayaka returned to her original state.

“Okay Hyoudo-san. So what did you want when you saw my status?”

“Yes. I thought that maybe I could help you train. And maybe, you might get your skills while training.”

That sounds like a good idea. But why would you want to help me?

“Okay, but why do you want to help me?”

“Because, maybe you didn't know it, but you helped me before and…”

Hmm? I didn't quite hear that.

“Sorry, could you repeat that again?”

“I-it's nothing senpai! I just wanted to help you because you are the “King of the School” right?”

Again? I hate this title. No one likes to look at me for who I am because of this title. Well, except for Kayaka.

Kayaka glared at Hyoudo-san, ready to pounce, but I patted her head and gave her a smile.

“It’s okay Kayaka. Let me handle this.”

I walked toward Hyoudo and put my hand out.

“Please take care of me, Hyoudo-san.”

Hyoudo was stunned at my behavior, but quickly turned happy and took my hand.

“Leave it to me senpai!”

Both of us shook hands and parted. Hyoudo said that we can add each other to a party by showing our status to each other and pressing the (add to party) button.

The three of us were now in a party. As for why I accepted his proposal, I want to get stronger to protect my little sister. I want Kayaka to live a happy life. I don't want her to feel that same pain when we lost our parents before. That's why, I will do anything to give that hapiness to her.
