Chapter 2: Status Window

Even though he asked if there was a way for them to go back, Yuuto was not exactly has big desire to go home.

There was nothing left for him to do in Earth, he already pay the debt, his apartment will be closed down in a month and most of all there was nothing left that interest him there.

Though, there was just one regret.

"Haa...nothing to do, usually this is the time books".

Currently, Yuuto lied down on the bed. After the party ended, the students given their own private room to rest.

The room itself is not too fancy but definitely better than his old apartment.

It was a room with around 4×4 tatami mats wide, consist one bed and one window, they also prepared a simple chair and table, no decoration.

Lamplight or to be exact electricity doesn't exist here so they uses lantern as source of light.

Yuuto glanced at the lantern above his table with the corner of Hus eyes.

'Though within this dim room it would be hard to read even if I have them with me.'

It was not just the books, there were also movies and anime.

All of their contents were always including planning, cunning protagonist, battle of wits plots, or just straight out wars with intense strategies clash.

From when Yuuta was small he already fascinated by intelligent type cultures especially warfare, it doesn't matter from which source, Anime, Manga, Movies, history books, novels, he read/watched them all.

Because of his strange opinion as a child, he was called weirdo by another kids.

After all when other children likes heroes and loved to watch them when heroes awaken their hidden power and defeat villain, Yuuto hate that kind of plot twist.

The small Yuuto often wondered why heroes always win despite they usually just charge recklessly without a plan, instead the villains who often develop plan after plan always defeated in the end.

Of course there were also smart heroes show but they were minority because heroes show usually targeted for children who didn't understand complicated things like strategy.

Ragami Yuuto was dislike foolish heroes, from back then and from now on.

–––––

Tohyama Hiroshi liked heroes, from his point of view heroes was someone who will protect innocent people from any evils without care about their wellbeing.

And now he got a chance to be such a hero.

Hiroshi stood near window and look outside with a frown.

He can't wait to get outside and save those poor innocent people from evil demons.

While he stay relaxed like this, there were people suffering in fear out there.

He grasped his hands into fists.

"Don't worry everyone, because we definitely save you all from evils clutches."

Because justice always prevail, no matter what.

Hiroshi blown the fire then goes to sleep, dreaming fighting evils.

Hiroshi was still young so he didn't yet to realize that while his heart in right place but he was far too naive and trusting, and he has no way of knowing that his immaturity will cost him huge in the future.

But that story still far away.

–––––

Next day, the students was guided into a very wide room, from what Yuuto heard it was a training chamber where its walls, floors and ceiling already enhanced with reinforced magic, above it there was a viewing room where spectators can watch the training, it was protected by very strong tampered glass so anyone who were watching won't get hurt.

Currently, King Joseph along with his daughter Magdalena and other nobles seated there.

The nobles murmuring among themselves, the most hot topic is to marrying their sons/daughter with one of hero to gain strong bloodline and reputation.

Unknown to what the nobles discussion, the heroes along with Dytika number one Knight currently in training chamber.

Now that they decided to help the country, it is the time they learn what they're capable of. For that reason The Strongest knight Gawayn Lester, instructed to train the heroes.

He was a youthful looking handsome blonde man with calm blue eyes like sea, he wore a captain's knight armor from top to bottom without the helm.

Some of female students swooned when they saw him.

"My name is Gawayn Lester, it was my pleasure to be instructor of young heroes." He said with a polite bow.

"Now before I began, please confirm your own status by mentally order [Status] in you mind"

Yuuto can't help but remembered about those MMORPG he played before when Gawayn instructed. Nevertheless he feels a bit excited and anxious.

When Yuuto stated [Status] mentally and a transparent box appears in front of him.

'Uwaa' He can't help but mentally groaned.

Status WindowName:Ragami YuutoAge:16Level:1/1Gender:MaleRace:HumanEXP/Next:0/-Title-HP:100MP:100STR:10DEF:10VIT:10INT:10AGI:10LUK:10Skills:Elementals:Non-ElementalsActivePassiveActivePassive----Unique Skills:Dead Copy

'I don't know how mine compared to others but uwaa...this is definitely the most disastrous stats I have ever seen before,  fortunately...'.

Yuuto musing interrupted by a loud shout of excitement.

"Uwooh!!, what is this?! Stats and skills? Does that mean I can do those awesome things like game characters?!" He said frantically.

Yuuto noticed that anyone other than him only have excitement or pride in their eyes.

Each of them murmured excitedly as they boast about their high stats or skills.

"How much your STR? Mine is 150..."

"Same with me, it seems like we all got same starting line"

"No, my STR is better than you, 160"

"I don't know what this [Shadow Slash] is but it sound awesome!".

"Wait, I don't have that skill, mine is..."

...and so on.

Hearing those conversation Yuuto came to conclusion that his stats is not normal because it was abnormally low.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Alright alright, I understand your excitement because I was also like that but first calm down so I can explain in more details about them".

Gawayn clapped his hand to calm down his students.

"First look at "Level", it displayed numbers xx/xx right? The first numbers is your current level and next to it is your level cap. The level cap is the limit of your potential, Human race like us usually stay between 20 to 80. Each person not always have same level cap, some lower some higher, though you won't find a Human who have 80 level cap easily nowadays."

He said with disappointed sigh before it turned into a small smile.

"But I'm sure your heroes has high level caps, right? Can you tell me what is your level cap?"

Captain Gawayn asked toward Hiroshi who stood at the center like usual, along with his female companions.

"Ehm Gawayn-san, you said that human level cap stay between 20-80 right?" Hiroshi asked.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Then Hiroshi dropped a bomb.

"My level cap is 200".

The silence is deafening, the nobles who watching above dropped their jaw. Gaways also shown no small amount of shock, his eyes widened.

After a brief moment he finally found his voice that replied intelligent reply.

"...What?"

Gawayn staring with disbelief at Hiroshi who stand awkwardly.

"I said my level cap is 200".

Only after the second time he said it the audience especially nobles murmured loudly, no doubt that most if not all of them already plotting how to bring Hiroshi into their family.

"...Excuse me for a bit" Gawayn who able to collect himself approach Hiroshi.

"[Spy]!"

"HOLY POLARIS!, this is far exceeded my expectation!"

Gawayn shouted with disbelief and awe. By the way Polaris is this world's god it seems.

"Umm, can somebody tell us what's going on?" Asked Akari.

"Ah yes, please forgive me". Gaways looked apologetic then starts explaining.

It was just like what Gaways said that human level limit only stay between 20 to 80, therefore someone with 200 level limit is unheard of. Not even heroes in myth have it.

Human race can learns lots of skills but because of their limitation they can't learn 6th tier or higher skills because you needs at least level 100 to learn 6th tier skill.

So with Hiroshi that potentially can grown to level 200, he should be able to learn skills that never appears before.

Each Race have skills that can only be learned exclusive by their race, for example is Human most basic yet useful skill, [Spy].

[Spy] allow humans to view others status as long as their [Spy] skill rank is equal or higher than target, no other races possess [Spy] so they equaled with zero rank [Spy] which made even the underleveled humans able to view their information.

"Futhermore Hiroshi-kun has [Hero] Title which doubled his base stats and increase his grown rate".

"Grown rate mean is how much stats they gain upon level up, they usually fixed but with his [Hero] Title Hiroshi-kun can become stronger faster". Gawayn said unable hide his excitement.

It's not only him, all students and nobles also listening in amazement. Those nobles immediately in uproar as they never seen something like this before.

"As expected from Hiroshi-sama!" Magdalena declared proudly.

"In all my years, I never seen someone with this much of potential before, what do you think Lily?" Joseph said as he stroke his beard.

...

"...Lily?" when he didn't heard any reply, only now he realized that one of his daughter not present.

"Lily already left the hall even before the feast, Geez, that girl is so boring, how could she not interested in these wonderful heroes especially Hiroshi-sama" Magdalena said a 'hmph'.

Lily Romulus Filgaia.

The youngest daughter of King Joseph and also the second princess. She was 12 years old, had three years difference with Magdalena who currently 15.

If you ask anyone about her, they would answer that she like a beauty doll who held no interest in anything except books.

She always spent her time with reading either outside, in library or holed in her room.

There was that time she didn't come out from her room for three days straight when she greatly immersed with her reading.

Back to the heroes.

After that Gawayn asked students to confirm their skill list, sure enough they all have [Spy] skill inside their skills and test it on their teammates.

"Gawayn-san, why did the skills information marked as "???"? asked Hiroshi.

"Ah yes, skills is little special. For some reason you cannot view other skills, therefore if you want to gain advantage it's necessary for you to remember all available skills manually".

As Gawayn explaining, one of his subordinate approach them while carrying tray with books above it. It was all same book with size like that of small memo pad (40cmx80cm).

"This books contains all of those currently discovered skills, including another races and monsters".

The subordinate then give the books to students one by one.

Yuuto took a small peek inside until he heard Gawayn coughed.

"Now, is there any question before we continue?"

No matter how much Yuuto searched he only possess one skill with disastrous stats to boot.

However for someone with those flaws he didn't show any dissatisfaction, his expression only show thoughtful as he formulated a plan.

Before long after he understand his objective and points he needs to notice Yuuto nodded at himself then raise a hand.

"Sorry but I won't fight with you"
