Chapter 6- The Brochure Was Definitely Better

Seeing as how there was six mages capable of order magic in the room already, Kyle did not particularly have a problem accelerating their schedule.

『We were planning on having you all check your status anyway so that we could confirm your classes. A class being the vocation you are most recognized as having by the world of Pleiades itself; for example, the Emperor’s class is while my own is . It is expected every one of you will have their class listed as and the one who the summoning was centred on will have instead.』

Cael was really getting fired up now even if he wasn’t the true hero, he could still be one and that was good enough for him. As for being the true hero he honestly didn’t think he had the right qualities, when thinking about who did though he had the sudden urge to face-palm.

There was one person in their class who he thought had talent, charisma and virtue, even if they were an idiot. Ignoring his internal complaints Cael returned to listening to what Gandalf was saying.

『In a moment the priestesses and I will cast status magic on you all and then transfer the information to a blank sheet of paper that you may hang onto. Keep in mind that this is only your status right now and it may change depending on your future training and achievements.』

Just as he said Gandalf and the nuns went around one by one taking down everyone’s status. Cael didn’t think his first view of magic in this world would be people acting as portable printers.

When Cael’s own turn came around, he could better see what they were doing and quite frankly he found it pretty weird. The person responsible for him was Gandalf, he closed his eyes and took a breath before chanting something incomprehensible.

{By the blessing of Ariel I wish to know more of the one before me I offer my

essence therefore let it be so }

If forced to describe it, Cael would say that the chant sounded like a melodious garble of sounds with a weird distorted echo overlapping that rings in the back of your head with vague meaning.

Visually the magic appeared in the form of a white light that went from Gandalf to Cael and back before focusing on the old man’s hand. Upon touching the paper with it the light transferred and became marks upon the page in what Cael understood should be Septish.

The status read as such:

Cael had more than a few choice words to say after seeing this status that had tonnes of questionable points. (In the first place shouldn’t it be I’ve never hunted a damn thing in my life! Also, the hell is with all those zeros? By the way while not as weird, why do I suddenly not have a last name?) He wanted to let out a few soulful cries of his own with a meaning different from Alex.

Speaking of Alex as he had deduced earlier, he was indeed the this was at least judging from his laughter, the curses of the boys and the shrieks of the girls emanating from his side. Cael was truly happy for him and he would go over and congratulate him if it wasn’t for the fact that Gandalf was looking at him funny.

『Most peculiar I must say boy, you have one of the strangest statuses I have ever seen I must report this directly to the Emperor as well as inform him of the identity of the .』

『You do you Gandalf I’m just going to walk around and check in with my friends kay.』

『Indeed, well do not be discouraged boy I am sure your destiny merely lies elsewhere.』

After stroking his beard a few times in thought Kyle made his way from the summoning room leaving only the princess and priestesses to talk. Deciding to not unnecessarily draw attention to himself Cael folded his status paper into his pocket and walked over to the others.

On the way he saw Alice staring at her paper with sparkling eyes, seeing his speculations about her nature once more being confirmed earned a chuckle from him. When he made his way over, the area around Alex proved to be more crowded with everyone wanting to take a peek at the “true hero’s” status.

Cael upon arriving raised his hand and greeted Alex the same eloquent way he always did.

『Yo.』

『Hey Cael turns out I’m a hero, do you want to see my status? Everyone else seemed to want to take a look.』

Considering he had not seen anyone else’s status to use as a baseline he took up Alex’s enthusiastic offer though he wouldn’t deny being curious anyway.

『Sure, pass it here.』

Alex obediently handed the paper and upon taking a look at it the sheet read as such:

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Name: Alexander Heart

Race: Human

Level: 1

Class:

Blessing: None

Essence: 210

Strength: 25

Agility: 20

Endurance: 15

Vitality: 22

Dexterity: 34

‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Truly life wasn’t fair if Alex wasn’t his friend, he would be cursing up a storm right about now. Disregarding his zeroed out numbers even the normal looking ones are quite a bit lower, Cael would have liked to be higher in at least one but he could only console himself in his mind with (As expected of the ).

With a twitchy eye reminiscent of a certain flustered teacher, he handed the sheet back with a few simple praises. Cael decided to make his strategic retreat before anyone asked to see his own status sheet.

Little did Cael know he was backing up only to bump into Yuna. Like a robot in desperate need of an oil change he turned to face her and greeted in equally broken speech.

『H-Hey Y-Yuna, how are y-you doing?』

『Hey Cael, what’s wrong with you looking all nervous like that?』

Before Cael could even think up a response, she finished her own thought while making a face like the cat that caught the canary.

『Ahh~ I see what it is; your status is really low right? You’re embarrassed right?』

Seeing Yuna becoming strangely frolic unlike her usual character Cael started to regret how much he teased her in the past. Then once more he was interrupted before he could respond, this time by Alex who was close enough to hear what was said.
