After the divisions were completed, everyone was getting ready to go outside, according to Shinji they had a divine mission to reach the top floor of Babel given to them by the goddess, hearing this made me wonder if none of them knew the real reason we were here, the others really seemed to think we were chosen or something when in fact we are simply pieces on a board, anyway, the attack group would go in the front while the useless group would go in the back carrying the attack group's stuff, obviously I am also included in the useless group.

Furthermore, something else happened, Baji declared that even among the useless ones there would be a social hierarchy, and so I was placed as the most useless of all, causing me to have to carry most of the things, it's not like it bothers me, strangely no matter how much I carry it still feels light, when I asked Aurora-sama the reason for this the answer she gave me left me a little surprised.

"When you use gluttony on your enemies besides the unique abilities you also gain an overall increase in your senses and strength, although at a much lower level"

Aurora-sama said in an indifferent tone, i was really thankful for this, carrying all this around having the normal strength of a teenager would be quite complicated to be honest, while thinking about it I saw that everyone started to leave from inside the temple, while following the others I noticed that Ramon-sensei was talking to Aoi-sensei, from Aoi-sensei's expression she was clearly not enjoying the conversation.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh"

My thought was interrupted by voices of admiration, looking around I noticed that we were finally outside the temple.

"Hey"

I was suddenly taken aback when a hand touched my shoulder, turning my face I see a beautiful dark-skinned girl with long golden hair and beautiful blue eyes.

"Your name...and Makoto...isn't it?"

She asked tilting her head with a smile, I was momentarily surprised by her gesture since I wasn't expecting someone from the attack group to come talk to someone from the support group.

(If I am not mistaken her name is Akemi Fujiwara, although she did not say what her skills are I remember her saying they were combat oriented, I wonder what powers she has)

With that in mind I decided to answer her question.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Well... my name really is Makoto but... how do you know that?"

Hearing my question, she opened a smile as if she was finding something funny.

"And that Shinji won't stop talking about you, even though he's humiliating the hell out of you”

She said.

"Oh, by the way, do you give me permission?"

She asked with a smile, I really didn't understand what she meant by "give permission" or rather, why would she want my permission for something? this wasn't making any sense, while I was trying to understand what was going on I suddenly noticed that Baji was looking at me as if he wanted to kill me, although he already does this normally this time I really felt as if he was going to kill me.

(Damn, I'm getting attention again because of her)

"You have my permission, so please leave me alone.

I said trying to push her away.

"Hehe, thank you"

She said with a huge smile, after that she again went back to the attack group while I continued where I was, after a few minutes of walking, I could see that everyone was quite tired, but still there was no order to stop so everyone kept walking, fortunately this was not affecting me, it seems that besides my strength my stamina was also strengthened.

"ALL RIGHT, LET'S TAKE A REST STOP, THANK SAEMI-SAMA FOR REMEMBERING USELESS PEOPLE LIKE YOU"

Ramon-sensei said, hearing his words everyone collapsed on the ground as drops of sweat dripped from their faces, everyone really looked exhausted, i also took the opportunity to sit down although I wasn't really tired, while I was sitting down, I heard footsteps coming towards me.

"Hey you good-for-nothing, you think I didn't see you talking to Fujiwara-san?"

Said Baji approaching me.

"If I see you talking to her again, I swear I'll kill you”

He said, walking away, originally, I thought he was angry with me for talking to someone from the attack group, but that didn't seem to be the case.

(Is it possible that Baji likes Fujiwara-san?)

I thought as I looked at Baji walking away and going over to Shinji, as I looked at Shinji's group my eyes met Saemi's, she gave me a weak smile while the others were distracted and then turned her gaze forward again, as this was happening a shout could be heard as everyone rested.

"What the hell is this?"

Everyone turned towards the voice trying to find out what was going on, and as soon as they saw it everyone except me panicked, a huge tiger had appeared, it was much bigger than the tigers they had on earth and its fangs were giant, its appearance was extremely similar to a saber tooth tiger, as everyone panicked an indifferent voice could be heard.

"Do you want me to take care of him?"

As soon as I looked to see who had said this Fujiwara was standing while looking at the tiger, besides her the only person who was relatively calm was Saemi, even Shinji and his goons seemed hesitant to act.

"A-All right, I-I approve, go now and kill that thing"

Said Ramon-sensei in a panic, ignoring Ramon-sensei's words Fujiwara stared at the tiger for a few seconds before her gaze stopped on me, with a mysterious smile she raised her arm towards the tiger and something totally unexpected happened, several stakes made of shadow pierced the tiger killing it instantly, i was stunned by what I was seeing, I looked at Saemi and saw that she was in the same state as me.

(Did she... did she just use my ability?)

I thought as I looked incredulously at Fujiwara who simply answered me with a smile.
