Chapter 10 Basic Physical Test
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Before we begin the real lessons, we’ll first do a basic physical test and check everyone’s blessings.”
Without any greeting or introduction, Benno-sensei just said it out loud. His face clearly showed how much he thought this was a pain, his frown leaving no doubt he hated every second of it.
”Change into your gym clothes and gather on the second field.”
He left the classroom right after that—so blunt it almost felt refreshing. Most of my classmates just stared in shock. Next to me, Lucia muttered softly, “H-he’s a… strange teacher, isn’t he?”
Then came that voice in my head again.
’Alright, hurry up and change! The straight guys out there are counting on the changing-room scene!’
…Gross.
’Now then, what color are Homo-chan and Lucia-chan’s underwear today, huh? I-I’m doing this for the straight brothers, not because I’m some fashion pervert, okay!?’
Why do I have to change after hearing that? I really, really don’t want to. The thought of changing while that voice watches makes my skin crawl. And dragging Lucia into this too—disgusting. My legs feel heavy, even though I know I have to move.
’●REC’
Sometimes the voice says random things, but this time I know it’s something bad. Truly awful. Why do I have to show my half-naked self to the person I hate most?
’Ohhh… Reina-chan, you’ve grown quite a bit. I’ve seen you since you were five, you know. Black underwear—very sexy.’
The worst. Disgusting.
’Oho! Lucia-chan’s underwear is pure white! The light blue lace makes it feel so innocent!’
I feel sick. Literally sick.
’Black for Reina-chan, white for Lucia-chan—feels like I’m the main guy in a harem story! Hey, come on, get down on all fours!’
Nonsense. Nothing in this world could make me hate someone more.
”R-Reina-chan, you’re… surprisingly big… I’m not that big, so…”
”…”
’Ahh, there it is! The classic line! Even if it’s a male fantasy, they went for it anyway! The dev team knows their stuff!’
Even the smallest comment makes him react. I can’t say anything careless in front of that voice. And probably… it’s not just one person. I think many others are watching me through it. The way the voice talks—to someone unseen—it’s always like that.
’By the way, in certain male saunas, people talk about size just like this and even touch each other. So this is officially a gay scene (Q.E.D).’
…Sorry, I have no idea what that even means.

”Everyone’s here? Good. We’ll start with the blessings check. Say your student number, name, and blessing in order.”
We lined up on the second field and followed the instruction one by one, saying our number, name, and blessing aloud.
’Oh right, in this game, the numbers aren’t in Japanese syllable order… huh? Birthday order? There’s a Saitama resident among the viewers? Get him! Tax raid!’
Ignoring that nonsense, I listened to my classmates’ blessings.
Most were things like (Flame Boost) or (Muscle Expansion). Some even had (Visual Extension), letting them see wider or brighter.
”Number 18, Gerald Ashtoner. Blessing: (Absolute Zero).”
”(Absolute Zero)…? That’s insanely powerful.”
So that’s what the so-called main character got. Even Benno-sensei, usually bored out of his mind, raised his brows, and everyone around started murmuring in shock.
’Tch! Damn this cheat bastard! He didn’t even have to reroll a thousand times to get a unique ability! (114,514 losses)’
So it’s his special ability. People like him are just built different from me.
”Number 23, Lucia Reeves. Blessing: (Regeneration).”
”…Why the hell are all of you in my class?”
'(Regeneration) is the protagonist girl’s special ability. The same one the holy maiden used to defeat the Demon King. Totally broken power.’
That’s… amazing. Everyone here went silent in awe. I think (Regeneration) hasn’t appeared in over two thousand years. The world government will never let her go, even if she doesn’t know it yet.
”Number 31, Cliff Griffith. Blessing: (Infernal Flame).”
”…What the hell is going on this year?”
’That guy’s just stupidly strong. Simple as that.’
They’re all so talented. Unlike me, they’re born to be Holy Knights.
”…Number 32, Reina Alcott. Blessing: (Evolution).”
”(Evolution)…? Never heard of that one. Do you know what it does?”
All I know is—it makes me stronger by torturing myself.
’Information is power. Not sharing.’
”…No, I don’t know.”
”I see. Maybe there’s a record of it somewhere. Check it later.”
’Ah yes, a true teacher—makes the student do all the work.’
Not that I care. No matter what it is, I’ll just keep forcing myself forward. Today, tomorrow, and every day after that. I’ll keep hurting myself until I’m strong enough.
Notes:
• –
• Benno – A male teacher with a blunt demeanor, overseeing physical tests and blessing checks, seemingly unaware of the darker forces at play in his students’ lives.
• Lucia – A female classmate of Reina with the (Regeneration) blessing, a power of immense value, unaware of the world government’s interest in her abilities.
• Cliff – Son of First-Class Knight Lilia. Practices Flame God Style. Obsessed with defeating strong opponents, especially Reina Alcott after a humiliating loss.
