Boy Granted 1,000 Useless Skills Yet He Rises to Become the Strongest in a New World

Hi an Quest here this is my recap for the enemy loner life in another world if you dig my recaps don't forget to subscribe and smash that notification Bell The Story begins with a boy secretly watching a group of goblins gathered around a campfire but just as he shifts his foot a twig snaps alerting the Goblins to his presence without hesitation he bolts but also the Goblins hot on his ass as he runs a slice smile Creeps across his face because this is all part of his plan the Goblins then obliviously soon tumble into a

pitfall trap he cleverly set up earlier the boy finally reveals his face breathing a sigh of relief thinking it was a close call he's thankful for his foresight in preparing the Trap and reflects on the fact that for now he's surviving in this world all on his own the story then flashes back to the day when he was transported to another world we find our Protagonist heruka during a school lunch break reading M alone as usual he admits that he's a loner but by choice he prefers his own company convinced that others would only disrupt

his reading Hera describes how his classmates have split into various CLE the gals the delinquents the group around the class rep the jocks and the Nerds everyone else he lumps into the others category he makes it clear he doesn't fit into any of these groups and he's fine with That with that thought he tries to take a nap but suddenly the classroom begins gloving and everyone is stunned Haruka however quickly spots a magic circle forming on the floor and far from panicking he gets excited at the idea of being teleported to another world but that

excitement quickly Fades as he realizes it's going to be a pain in the ass deciding to avoid the whole situation he makes a break for the door in an attempt to escape the circle but Predictably the classroom doors won't budge unwilling to give up heruka frantically throws anything he can at the door in hopes of breaking it but to no avail in a final effort he climbs up into the ceiling thinking he's finally outsmarted the magic circle he takes a deep breath feeling safe at last but that relief is shortlived another magic circle appears above

him and before he knows it he's whisked away to the kichad white void Hera finds himself standing In an empty space waiting for the usual appearance of a king princess or God but instead of any Grand figure he notices an old man sitting there looking just as lonely as him the old-timer God then rushes toward heruka clearly panicked as he mumbles heruka pieces together that this flustered old man is the god of another world the god explains that haruka's classmates have already been transported to this new world and he's shocked to realize he missed one

of them Heruka bursts out laughing mocking the God for not even noticing him hiding in the sealant hatch the god embarrassed and clearly frustrated hurried tells heruka to pick a skill so he can transport him too heruka is then presented with a massive list of skills only to realize that all the cheat skills have been snatched up by his classmates he sigh in annoyance as he sifts through the remaining scraps one skill dice catches his eye it allows him To add a point to any stat if he rolls two sixes he Chuckles at the absurdity

but moves on to check the combat skills of course only came Master is left a skill he deems utterly pathetic he moves on to the starting gear and is greeted with a pitiful sight of skills called villager set and some contact lenses signing again he takes a look at the magical spells only to see Munday in options like temperature control packing weight management and movement spells His skill choices are no better General Health and walking as for job titles his options are just as Bleak shut in and meat finally his list of traits includes corporate

proactiveness the utterly useless master of none and a ridiculous Blockhead trait that feels like an insult tailored just for him frustrated beyond belief Haruka grabs the God and shakes him violently yelling that he won't even make it past the starting village with this pathetic lineup he Berates the god demanding he do his job properly and offer a better variety of skills and abilities flustered and desperate to get rid of the stubborn loner the god finally relents granting heruka all the remaining skills and shuming him into the new world the scene then shifts and we find

Haruka alone in a forest before him lies the sadl looking villager set he sigh once more and rummages through the accompanying bag and is surprised to discover that it Has an unlimited storage capacity inside he finds some basic gear a wooden stick contact lenses and the rest of the leftover junk resigned to his fate he Dawns the gear trying to get into the whole Otherworld Vibe and then he decides to check his stats but as Haruka attempts to open his stats window a pop-up appears asking him to use his dice Hill curious he rolls the

dice and gets M on both of them confused he Ponders what M could mean unable to Figure it out at first he's prompted to choose which stat to apply the points to knowing raw stats won't guarantee survival in this world he decides to dump everything into his luck when a stats window finally opens he's shocked to see that his luck stat has maxed out so it Dawns on him that the m stands for Max feeling a glimmer of hope he checks out the rest of his stats and unsurprisingly he sees all the worthless skills he'd

acquired amidst them he Discovers two additional skills one is loner which ensures he can only live alone and prevents him from ever forming a party the other is servitude the skill that lets him command others albeat ironically since no one would want to follow a loner herka then frustrated rumbles that his chances of getting a Herm in this world just went up and smoked thanks to these garbage skills then as he Ponders the absence of his classmates he realizes it doesn't matter Since he can't form a party anyway so with that situation he decides to

move on focusing on setting up a base of operations instead as he explores the dense forest Haruka grumbles about the poor visibility due to the overwhelming number of trees then he remembers the contact lenses he stashed in his bag he puts them on and immediately his vision sharpens revealing the names of all the plants and objects around him it turns out his contact lenses Grant him the Appraisal skill and suddenly the entire world feels more accessible excited by this new found power heruka stumbles upon some edible mushrooms with the added benefit of drawing out latent

abilities he gleefully stuffs them into his bag knowing his magical bag can hold an unlimited amount of items feeling more confident Haruka realizes that with this skill he can locate anything he needs then shortly after he finds a river fills his water bottle and Quenches his thirst he then stumbles upon a cave and stops at the entrance praying that no monsters are lurking inside after a moment he heads in to his relief is pretty spacious and comfortable he figures living here might actually be a good idea especially since he's got tents and lanterns he grabs

the dry leaves and twigs he picked up earlier and uses his temperature control magic to start a fire he hopes this will keep the beasts away before crashing for The night he checks his stats turns out his temperature magic has leveled up unlocking Fire magic he's also picked up new skills like Clairvoyance sight presence detection and enemy tracking he Figures it's probably because he's been on edge watching for Monsters as he drifts off he can't help but wonder what he'll do if anything shows up he knocks out and when he wakes up the next day

he's relieved to find no issues he Figures it's thanks to his monster Repelling items and the fact that his shut in job title seems to protect his space feeling hungry he starts a fire with his freshly unlocked Fire magic and whips up some mushrooms and jerky with a Sprinkle of seasoning then as he digs in he's surprised at how decent it tastes he also realizes how clutch the Villager is said is frying pan knives everything while looking over his gear he starts to question whether villager a was really just a villager or a survivalist after

His meal he sits back and starts thinking about what he's going to do next he then continues exploring the forest thinking that the cave will serve as his base of operations for now and the next on his agenda is setting up some proper safety measures then along the way he gathers some herbs and more mushrooms but quickly realizes that monsters are going to be his biggest headache just as he thinks that he senses some presences nearby and he sees It two goblins Panic sets in but then he figures these guys are small fry though their

stats are higher than he expected Haro wonders if he stands a chance but he knows that if he wants to keep exploring there's no way around this fight he decides to wrap his Cane using his packing ability which coats objects in Magic and gives them various boosts and surprisingly it works pretty well with Newfound confidence Haruka resolves to work hard and surpass his classmates Who scored cheat skills he charges at the Goblins his glowing cane in hand and easily takes down the first one the second Goblin attacks but moves are too predictable and heruka Dodges

them without much trouble and with a quick burst of magic from his came he finishes the second one off by the time evening rolls around heruka is cleaning up at the river feeling proud that he survived his first battle and he reflects that today was a good day he then exhaustedly Heads back to the cave eats some mushrooms and notices a wooden Club he picked up from the Goblins he quickly dismisses it thinking it's useless it's too short in range and a bit too heavy his trusty cane is way more efficient checking his stats he's

surprised to see that he leveled up just by whacking a couple of goblins but he's not complaining he also discovers he's gained a new skill called Magic infusion and notices that his calisthenics level Has gone up by day three Haruka is already sick of eating mushrooms every damn day he craves some meat and even last himself imagining how his class rep would definitely scold him for complaining he then begrudgingly swallows the mushrooms and then decides to check out the magic infusion skill he picked up the other day turns out it cloaks his body with magic

and enhances it and on top of that it empowers his magical defense and physical control he Then also notices that his appraisal skill leveled up to level two however instead of being thrilled he's confused it now shows question marks on some of the things he tries to appraise so he annoyedly wonders if it's more of a downgrade than an upgrade shrugging it off heruka heads into the forest intending to practice some magic but his focus is soon shattered when he spots yet another mushroom disappointed he limits the lack of meat and Sarcastically wonders why meat

doesn't grow on trees that he remembers he's supposed to be practicing magic not foraging he activates his magic infusion skill again and starts running around the forest feeling surprisingly light on his feet his dexterity is off the charts while exploring he encounters some goblins that are a bit stronger than the ones he faced earlier but there's still no match he defeats them more easily than yesterday and the confidence kicks In he starts thinking he could probably take on three goblins at once now but just as he's getting cocky he spots three muscular goblins of a

head his confidence evaporates instantly and he ducks for cover realizing he's out match heruka ducks and hides immediately he then starts slipping away quietly fully aware he's not ready for that over the next few days he sticks to a routine hunting goblins during the day and studying Magic by night on day five Haruka manages to take down at Goblin with a single strike and he also spends some time renovating his cave house adding a gate and some not so fancy furniture to make it more livable later that night he finally gets lucky and hunts down

a rabbit for some much needed meat after catching the damn thing he's pretty pumped thinking he'll actually get to eat something other than mushrooms for once but just as he's about to celebrate he senses someone Approaching to his annoyance it's the group of gals from his class not wanting to get mixed up with her drama and he Ducks out of sight but then he senses the damn delinquents are nearby too and he is definitely not in the mood to deal with him either using his Clairvoyance Haruka scans the area and realizes the entire class is

here including the class reps group he doesn't want to get involved with the other group's but for a second he thinks maybe he should At least just stay hi to the class rep given that they've known each other since grade school but then he snaps out of it he's not about to start acting like a s in fact he's enjoying the freedom of being completely isolated and for the first time no one telling him what to do no drama no distractions he can live exactly how he wants and with that thought harva decides he's better

off conquering this world on his own without his classmates dragging him down To their he suddenly Ducks into a bush trying to stay hidden as the delinquent approach one of them suspicious says he's sure he heard something and starts closing in on the bushes where Haruka is hiding as he checks inside all he finds is the bunny so he and the others move on Haruka lets out a sigh of relief it didn't spot him still curiosity gets the better of him and he decides to tail them hoping to figure out if they're up to something

as He listens in he quickly realizes the delinquents are just having an embarrassingly perverse conversation of the girl's melon measurements Haruka is disappointed having expected to learn something useful with no real rules or Consequences in this world he's a bit worried about what these idiots might do to the girls but he reassures himself the class rep will probably handle it she always does just as he's about to tune out Haruka overhears the Delinquents plotting to use some poor nerd named Tanaka for his abilities to do whatever they want that's when Haruka knows they're up to

no good but getting involved that would require actual social interaction and let's face it Haruka is completely against that he Retreats back to his cave and starts grilling some mushrooms trying to shake off the whole thing but then he notices something that hits him like a truck his loner skill just leveled up even his Status board now officially recognizes him as a loner it probably leveled because he avoided his classmates all day but still it's not the worst thing that could have happened honestly he wouldn't mind leveling up more considering his overall level is stuck

at am measle 3 the real issue those his two skills master of nun and dummy skills he has no clue how to level them up or what they even do master of none seems straightforward he'll be decent at Most things but never truly Master anything as for dummy skills Haruka figures it might have something to do with puppets but he's not really sure so he decides to stop thinking about it for now and just focus on eating his dinner but he still wishes he had some damn meat Hera calls at a night and tries to

drift off to sleep but a loud commotion outside makes that impossible so he reluctantly gets up to see what's going on he expects to find the usual Delinquents causing trouble but to his surprise it's not them this time it's the Nerds they're in the middle of fighting a group of goblins but they're clearly struggling heruka considers stepping in to help but then he checks their stats to his dis belief their skills are leaves above his and they're all level 16 while he's still stuck at level three he figures they've got this under control so he

turns to leave but just as he's about to walk away heruka Spots two goblins sneaking up behind the Nerds given how much trouble they're already having an attack from behind would wipe them out for sure Hera hesitates still unsure if he should get involved but then he remembers the time the Nerds share their holographic Charizard with him back in the day that memory is enough to push him over the edge these guys are worth saving so without another thought Huka charges out of the bushes stick in hand and on-shot Both goblins in a single swing

the Nerds wide-eyed and stunned turned to see heruka standing there he asked if they're okay and while they're physically fine they're shocked to see heruka out here in the wild after some awkward reacquainting the Nerds think him profusely but heruka finds it difficult to hold a conversation after all it's been ages since he's had a proper chat with anyone eventually Haruka leads them back to his cave and The Nerds are blown away by the place despite it being a cave the interior is cozy and welld designed hura explains that he picked up some Earth Magic

and crafting skills to remodel the place but the Nerds still think it's incredible that he did it all on his own he offers them drinks and asks what they were doing in the woods so late at night that's when the mood shifts the Nerds go quiet exchanging uneasy glances and after a few moments of Silence they Finally admit that they're on the run from the rest of the class it all started when the class got teleported into this new world at first everyone was just shocked by what had happened happened completely blindsided but soon reality

hit they were stuck here and panic set in some were calmer about it though the popular girls seemed more annoyed than scared as if this whole situation was just ruining their day the delinquents were trying to figure things Out but their lack of IAI knowledge wasn't helping meanwhile the Nerds were thriving this was their moment the class rep was just as confused as everyone else but she had enough common sense to know that balling in the middle of an unknown forest was a sure way of attract predators and get everyone killed so she immediately tried

to get the class to calm down but of course it was too late a group of goblins had already caught wind of them the class rep who usually Has everything under control was completely out of her depth when it came to monsters and started to freak out naturally the rest of the class followed suit even the delinquents were shaking it as we expected the Nerds however knew someone had to take charge so they activated their skills and got to work taking down the Goblins even the Jim Bros joined in before long the Goblins were defeated

but the class still wasn't safe the class rep pulling herself Together got everyone's attention and made it clear they needed to find somewhere safe to stay before they got ambushed again a little while later they set up camp by the river the Nerds of all their vast isai knowledge took it upon themselves to teach everyone the basics of survival in this world at first things seemed to be going smoothly the class divided duties evenly and everyone was pitching in but then out of nowhere the popular girls decided that They are not going to do any

damn work anymore the class rep tried to reason with them saying all they had to do was help set up the tents but the girls couldn't be be bothered and of course since the popular girls weren't doing anything the delinquents thought why should we do any and they decided to be lazy too this left the class rep and the Nerds doing all the work setting up camp Gathering supplies handling every single task on top of that the Nerds took on the added responsibility of dealing with all the monsters that kept trying to attack the camp

it was a heavy load but they knew they had to do it for their own Survival too back in a white room the Nerds saw two particularly disturbing skills get chosen one was a charm spell that granted control over people and the other was a puppeteer skill which basically did the same thing the Nerds knew one of the delinquents had picked Up the Puppeteer skill so they realized they needed to level up fast if they wanted any chance of Defending themselves against them at night the delinquents would go out hunting monsters too but only to

grind levels so they could unlock their Twisted skills while e dropping on them one evening the Nerds overheard something chilling the delinquents were already planning to use their Newfound power to turn the girls into their slaves once they were strong Enough the mirids knew they have axe so they rush to warn the class rep unfortunately just a few days later the delinquents had leveled up enough to start using their skills unluckily the class rep just happened to be nearby so they set their sights on making her their first victim but before they could make their

move the nids jumped them the delinquents were taken down and their skills were sealed away making sure they wouldn't be able to hurt anyone the Powerless delinquents were no longer a threat and as expected the girls were Furious when they learned what had been planned the delinquents were immediately kicked out of camp that should have been the end of it but the delinquents being the petty jerks they were decided to take revenge later that night while the Nerds were away the delinquents launched a sneak attack not to take control but purely to cause chaos so

they set the entire camp on fire burning Everything To The Ground by the time the Nerds got back they were devastated everything they worked so hard to build was gone to make matters worse the popular girls somehow Twisted the situation blaming the Nerds for provoking the delinquents and causing the destruction thankfully the class rep stepped in reminding everyone that the Nerds were the only reason they'd survived this long while the Nerds appreciated her defending them they had enough staying in a camp full Of ungrateful people wasn't worth it anymore and so they decided to leave

and go on the run after hearing the nerd's whole story Haruka genuinely feels bad for them so he decides to host a mushroom Feast that night surprisingly he finds himself actually enjoying the company which is a rare thing for him but the next day the Nerds have to leave they're planning to head Downstream to find a village and start fresh as adventurers before they go they invite Heruka to join them seeing him as a friend while Haruka does consider them friends he declines because he's convinced that his trash skills would only slow them down even

so he's a bit uneasy about the situation back at the class Camp mainly because the class rep the only other person in class he respects is still there he decides to check out the camp and see what's going on on his way he randomly encounters a Cobalt it bites him a few times like a Mad dog but he eventually manages to kill it and continues his journey by the time I Falls Haruka reaches the Riverside where the class Camp should have been but to his surprise the place is completely deserted figuring a must have move

he uses one of his detection skills to track Footprints and follows the trail until he eventually stumbles upon the popular girls of all the people in his class heruka despises dealing with them the most so he immediately Tries to turn around and head home but it's too late they've already started chasing after him normally Haruka would have no problem outrunning them but he freezes in place when he hears them say the word please in all the years he's known them pleased has never once been in their vocabulary something serious must have happened to make them

this desperate so against his better judgment he decides to hear them out the first thing they ask is if he knows where the Nerds went Hera hesitates suspecting they they just want to berate the Nerds some more but to his surprise the girls actually want to apologize they come to realize just how much the Nerds were doing for them all along and they genuinely want to make amends for the way they treated them but by now the Nerds are long gone and there's no way the girls could ever catch up to them for starters they

can't even navigate the woods alone let alone defend Themselves against the monsters lurking about Hera asks that how they plan to find the Nerds if they can't even handle basic survival and then he ask them if they even have the resolve to do whatever it takes to apologize but the girls just break down in tears knowing they wouldn't last a day out there on their own so they beg heruka to teach them how to survive heruka completely blindsided by their sudden desperation agrees before he can even process what He's saying and that's when haruka's subjugate

ability kicks in and without warning the girls become his subservient followers so their blank stairs are now fixed on him and that terrifies him then whenever heruka gets into a fight they jump in to finish off the monsters and then present the magic crystals to him like eager puppies waiting for approval Hera isn't happy with how this is turning out he didn't sign up for this and now the whole situation feels wrong One of the girls has a small injury on her arm so heruka feels responsible and hands her a healing potion he made expecting

her to use it on herself but instead she uses it on him he's getting increasingly frustrated everything they do is only for his benefit now and he's starting to get sick of it what's worse he can't figure out how to undo the subjugate ability and if he runs into the class rep how on Earth is he going to explain this just as he's stressing Over how to release the girls from his control the class rep appears she tries talking to him but heruka is too wrapped up in his thoughts about breaking the servitude to notice

her it's only when she shouts in his ear that he snaps back to reality realizing she's standing right next to him meanwhile the delinquents are still scheming planning to carry out their Twisted Ambitions with the girls so eventually they decided to deal with anyone who might Stand in their way first then we see heruka panicking because he's clueless about what say to the class rep and come to think of it he doesn't even know her name they have been in the same class since elementary school and she's always been nice to him so she can't

believe this idiot never bothered to learn her name a few moments later the rest of the girls from class show up of course everyone except the popular girls is following the class rep's orders Speaking of those popular girls the class rep spots them standing behind heruka but they look like they're sharing a single brain cell at the moment so she figures heruka must have done something to them he'd love to say he's innocent but the ugly truth is even if he didn't mean to his skills somehow turned them into his servants and now he's stuck

with this mess he tries to explain without sounding like the villain but none of the girls believe Him so heruka just gives up trying to clear his name and starts to walk off too bad for him the class rep won't let him go that easily so she forces him to stay while she checks on shimazaki to see if she's okay fortunately for him a little shaking is all it took to snap her out of it and shimazaki reassures the class rep that she's fine which gives the rep some relief Haruka on the other hand thinks

this is his cue to finally leave but of course the class Rep still wants to know how the whole subjugation thing happened in the first place so she's not letting heruka go this easy that mother girls are chatting Haruka is left alone by a tree and since he's got nothing better to do he decides to practice his magic he figures he'll try expanding his house once he gets home so he starts experimenting trying to figure out how to make a basement but being heruka he messes it up and ends up buring himself in the ground

from the Neck down so be stuck like that and sat waiting until the class rep found him she's completely shocked to see him buried in the dirt especially since she only asked him to wait a few minutes but hey boredom makes people do dumb stuff she then goes over Hera's head and pulls him out of the dirt and once he's free she apologizes for not trusting him apparently shimazaki told her that heruka was just trying to help everyone heruka doesn't remember offering to help Everyone but the class rep and the other girls are already thanking

him so he just rolls with it then with everything settled heruka is ready to head home but the girls start getting mad because he's about to leave them stranded in the Wilder nness without offering any help that's when the class rep catches on heruka just mention having a home so she immediately asks him about it and heruka casually explains that he had some spare time and well just built a house the Class rep is floored because she can't believe this guy managed to build an entire house by himself while they've been struggling to manage a

camp the other girls are just as impressed so they huddle together holding a quick meeting the class rep asks heruka how many people his house can accommodate heruka trying to think it through says it could fit about 200 people but they have to move some furniture around and maybe drain the indoor pool the class Rep Green With Envy at how well heruka is doing for himself reluctantly asks if she and the other girls can stay the night since you know they're all kind of homeless at the moment Haruka freaks out internally it's one thing to

let a few guys crash at your place but this is a whole class full of girls so the thought of that makes him feel hot like hell but still he manages to calm himself down and once he's composed heruka leads them all toward his house And thanks to all the time he spent wandering through these Woods Haruka is way better at navigating than the girls and one of his skills even gives him helpful tips keeping him headed in the right direction eventually Haruka makes it back to his house with the girls in TOA and after

catching their breath they're absolutely floored by the sight it's been ages since they had a proper roof over their heads or enjoy the luxury of indoor plumbing then the Moment Huka mentions there's a bath over that way the girls practically Stampede toward it stripping down right in front of him her's brain short circuits there's no way he can survive a whole night under the same roof with with them so thinking quickly he sets up a tent outside to get some much needed alone time and prepares to sleep but just when he's about to settle in

the class rep walks into his tent there's something she wants to talk about first she she Thanks him for all his help because without him she wouldn't have had a clue what to do after the Nerds bailed the Jim Bros also left leaving the girls defend for themselves it's been rough but now that they had a bath and a decent meal the girls are finally in High Spirits again even so the class rep admits she feels like a failure as a representative because couldn't fix the situation on her own but heruka thinks she's being way

too hard on herself Because up until now she's been the one protecting and keeping the girls together she admits that may be true they got lucky not running into any monsters if they had she would have been powerless to protect the class unlike the Nerds but Haruka speaks again and points out that she's not being fair to herself because the Nerds have basically spent their whole lives preparing for something like this so of course they could handle it but for her this is the First time she's ever even heard of isekai so considering all things

she's done and damn good job hearing that the class rep feels a lot better though she still can't help but compare her accomplishments to haruga after all he build a fully functioning house in just a week then she wishes him a good night and heads back inside but with everything that's happened today there's no way heruka is getting any sleep in this hot tonight early the next morning Haruka is woken up by one of the girls sitting outside his tent telling him to get up because breakfast is ready he's still half asleep so it takes

him a moment to realize what's happening but when it hits him he starts freaking out a little and protests by saying that he wants to sleep in a little longer the girl however isn't having and climbs on top of him trying to coax him out of bed heruka defeatedly gives in and asks what's for breakfast he expects the Usual mushroom soup with a side of even more mushrooms but to his surprise breakfast is actually fish today so excited he accidentally headbutts the girl in his enthusiasm she's a little hurt but Kuka is too thrilled to

care because finally he gets to eat something other than mushrooms and he's loving every bite the class rep confused by his excitement as SW he's so worked up about eating fish when he's been living next to the river this whole time Hera admits That while that's true he absolutely sucks at fishing which is why he's never managed to catch any seeing how the girls seem so accustomed to eating fish heruka asks how they managed to catch them so easily the class rep agrees to show him and takes heruka to the river along with one of

the girls who has a lightning magic skill her method is simple but effective she just electrocutes the water until the fish well sto being alive Haruka is amazed And begs her to do it again though she's reluctant she agrees since heruka has been helping out she summons another ball of lightning but before she can throw it in the river heruka quickly grabs it and seals it with his packing skill he tosses it into the water himself and catches some fish but on top of that he gains lightning magic as well meaning you won't need lightting

girls help anymore the class rep then confusedly asks what he just did so Heruka explains that by using his packing skill on a particular element he gains that type of magic it's probably a result of all the different skills he has which is definitely useful but in haruka's mind he's still stuck with a bunch of useless abilities then while the other girls splash around in the river heruka sits with the class rep and asks what she and the others plan to do next the class rep admits the details are still a bit unclear but their

goal Is to head for the nearest Village and try to catch up with the Nerds however she adds they'll need to level up if they're going to make it out of this Forest on their own so heruka trying and be helpful offers to train them before they leave then not long after all the girls are gathered in the forest for haruka's impromptu training camp but before they start Haruka asks what their current levels are when they tell them they're all above level 15 Haruka feels An immediate pain of depression because he's still stuck at level

seven after all this time in the forest so he begins to wonder if they even need his help at all then to test their abilities he sets them up to fight a group of Cobalts to see how they handle themselves the girls think this will be a walk in the park since the Cobalts are only level six but a few moments later all of them had their butts handed to them and they were knocked out on the ground turns out none Of them expected the Cobalt to actually fight back so bruised and humiliated they Retreat

to regroup and strategize but oddly enough the strategy meeting ends up taking place inside haruka's magic tent thanks to its ability to expand they all fit comfortably but heruka still has no idea why they chose his damn tent for this after some deliberation the girls head back out confident they got it this time Haruka is glad they're feeling motivated but in The back of his mind he's not convinced the win round two either then once they leave the girl who woke him up that morning approaches him looking a bit she cheapish she apologizes for her

behavior earlier apparently she was deliberately getting close to him to see if he tried to take advantage of the situation she admits she didn't trust him at first but now after he's given them shelter food and even offer to train them she feels like she can trust him so she adds that She'll be back tomorrow to wake him up with breakfast again heruka feeling relieved that she trusts him now smiles and says he's looking forward to tomorrow however since he still doesn't know her name he decides he'll just call her fish girl for now the

next morning Haruka is thrilled to get another fish from fish girl but then overhears the other girls talking about going back to fight the Cobalts for Revenge but before they can rush off the class rep calls Them back reminding them that they'll definitely lose again if they don't train first so she suggests they start by fighting goblins instead however when the girls actually face off against the Goblins it's a complete disaster but despite this setback some of the girls are still convinced they're ready for a Cobalt rematch While others start mysteriously coming down with sudden

illnesses to avoid fighting anymore hura doesn't have high hopes for this and He's fully prepared to jump in if things go south but to his surprise the girls actually learned from their mistakes with the goblins and managed to work together to defeat the Cobalts the class rep congratulates them on their Victory and heruka feels a wave of relief because this means the girls can handle themselves now he can finally go back to his peaceful Life as a loner but at least that's what he thinks because the class rep walks over and thanks him for Agreeing

to come with them to the nearest Village Hara knows for a fact that he never said he'd joined them but class rep is pretty insistent so in the anity caves and agrees to to go with her a little while later everyone's packed up and ready to lead the forest herva reminds them they don't know what dangers they might run into out there so they should stay on guard meanwhile in another part of the forest one of the boys from their class is seen Frantically running for his life he makes the mistake of looking back and

trips over a rock only to find himself cornered by his attacker and with no Escape he's strangled to death in the instant later we see Haruka wandering through the forest with the girls and he's thinking all right got to keep these girls safe from those delinquents but first they need to get out of the woods then boom they run into an orc the girls dive for cover and heruka steps up To fight he declares like a total sha and he's about to teach them a thing or two about fighting he charges at the orc and

the monster swings but surprisingly it can't find him after the attack turns out herook is hiding behind a tree laughing at the Orcs sheer stupidity he recalls that the Nerds told him Orcs are tough against physical attacks but can be taken down with enough magic so he checks his abilities and spots something called Grand magic he discovers that Grand magic includes fire water Earth and wind spells turns out he got most of them from his packing skill everything except Fire magic he thinks to himself even the dumbest skills can come in handy sometimes right then

the orc finds him it swings again but heruka Dodges like it's nothing he smacks it on the head tells it to calm the hell down but instead of chilling out the orc just up and dies heruka is left blinking in shocked because physical attacks weren't Supposed to work on it meanwhile the girls give him death stairs because that didn't teach them about fighting next they run into another orc this time Haruka busts out some fire Magic from his temperature skill and he takes the monster out in one hit Haruka is shocked again and the girls

now thoroughly annoyed point out that they're not going to learn squat if he keeps nuking the monsters in a single blow the scene then shifts to the girls having dinner at Night while Haruka sets up traps around their campsite to catch any monsters that might try to attack he's convinced his tent will help keep the monsters away and also alert him to any danger so with the traps and the tent he figures it should be enough to look after the girls he then glances at the map he got from his appraisal skill and notices the

river curves ahead and he starts thinking about which route they should take from here on but suddenly his Perception skill kicks in and he senses something nearby thinking it could be monsters he goes to check it out only to find humans instead he assumes they're the delinquents at first but it turns out to be the jocks so Haruka is reliev and glad it's just them and we see that the class rep sees them talking to Haruka from a distance Haruka then asks the jocks why they're here jokingly wondering if they're after the girls too the

jocks deny it saying they're not Here for the girls they came looking for him heruka in his typical snarky way wonders if they're into boys now but the jocks clearly irritated assure him they're not then when heruka asks why they're hiding from the girls the jocks reveal that they don't trust anyone at the moment they remind heruka of the skill they learned about that's even more dangerous than Puppeteer or Charm so heruka quickly realizes they're talking about the hijack skill the jocks Explained that while the delinquents made a big fuss about the Puppeteer and charm

skills they never mentioned hijack which means they don't have it but someone else might sensing an opportunity heruka decides to mess with the jocks a bit by pretending he has the hijack skill but the jocks don't seem phased they say they'd be fine even if he did then they ask if he really has it and Haruka admits he doesn't but reveals that he learned the subjugate skill Instead the jocks freak out thinking it's even worse but they reassure themselves that it's probably okay since Haruka is a loner and will always stay that way but Haruka

unbothered points out that there's nothing wrong with being a loner the jocks then say their only reason for coming was to warn him about the hijack skill that ask him to be careful they plan to keep an eye on the delinquents from now on and ask Haruka to apologize to the class rep and The girls for them he agrees and they leave completely unaware that the class rep overheard the entire conversation the next day Haruka tells the girls they're heading back into the forest and asks them to gear up they all non eager and ready

to fight and Haruka can't help but wonder if they ate something weird for breakfast because their way too pumped as he steps away from the group the class rep pulls him aside asking if they can talk in private once alone she Tries to bring up what the jocks had told him her suddenly remembers they wanted him to apologize for them so he does but that's not what the class rep is here to talk about she looks nervous hesitant to say what's really on her mind seeing her uneasy Behavior heruka immediately pieces it together she's the

one with the hijack skill the class rep is shock asking how he figured it out since this was supposed to be a secret between her and the nerves heruka smirks Saying it only took him one look to figure it out he can't believe the jocks were too stupid to notice the class rep still puzzled asks why he helped her if he knew she wonders if he's not AF afraid of her considering what hijack can do but heruka unbothered Le tells her there's no reason for him to be afraid the class rep then explains that hijack

is a skill that steals someone's abilities by taking their life something that would terrify anyone but heruka Shrugs it off repeating that he's not scared he's sure the Nerds felt the same way too they locked away in the Puppeteer and charm skills but they left her as a loone which told him everything he needed to know she's confused by his words but Haruka clarifies the Nerds were actually relieved that she was the one who ended up with the hijack skill he says he feels the same and upon hearing this the class rep breaks down in

tears of relief and joy Hera ever the Tease tells her she's been crying too much lately to which she snaps back that's all his fault laughing he bolts pretending to run away in fear of being blamed for her tears later we see the students taking a break after traveling for a while and Haruka brings some juice for everyone but of course he jokes about charging them for it the class rep not amused gets angry and tells him to stop trying to make a profit off his friends laughing at all they all Continue their Journey Hera

notes that they're ahead of schedule but still it looks like they'll be stuck camping again tonight he spots then a river and thinks it's the perfect opportunity to try something so he asks the class rep and the others to handle things here while he goes at his Scout the class rep offers to go with him but he tells her to stay put and keep an eye on things that takes off head after getting some distance away heruka uses his magic wrap Skill to cloak himself in Magic and also uses his weight magic to make himself

lighter with his reduced weight he starts jumping from One Tree to another like some kind of ninja thinking to himself how handy these skills are but of course in his excitement he jumps way too high and ends up gawking at the view right before plummeting down with no wi cushion his fall he crashes face first into the ground barely surviving thanks to the magic WAP protecting him later That night he limps back to Camp all beat up the class rep immediately suspicious asks how scouting could leave him looking like he just lost a fight Hera

sheepishly admits that he got a little carried away jumped too high and ended up face planting the class rep irritated at his stupidity gets angry with him so in a lame attempt to calm her down he offers her some berries but she's not having it and storms off leaving him standing there the next day They make great progress thanks to haruka's scouting despite his earlier mishap along the way they face some fun and scary situations but they managed to get through all of them pretty easily after more traveling they finally make it out of the

forest the girls are thrilled to see open planes ahead thinking the town might be close now heruka however starts to get more cautious knowing they're more exposed out in the open he notices the hills in Front of them are blocking his view so he checks his stats and discovers he's got a new skill called air walk without hesitation he uses it and literally starts walking on air the class rep understandably shocked yells up at him but heruka is too caught up testing out his new skill to even hear her after a while heruka finally notices

the class rep calling out to him and she asks if he's going to be okay being so high up he casually replies that it's all good And mentions he's just checking the area to make sure everything's safe scanning the surrounding See Spot some people being attacked by monsters he reports this back to the class rep and immediately she insists that they have to help but Haruka ever the cynic points out that just because they're getting attacked by monsters doesn't automatically mean they're good people and he knows how the girls tend to be too trusting the

class rep wants to send Their fastest runner to help those people but heruka tells her it's pointless they won't make it in time he raises the possibility that they could be Bandits saying it might be safer to just let things play out but of course the class is having none of that she firmly states that if they're bad guys she'll handle them but if they're innocent she wants to help heruka rolls his eyes internally knowing she'd say something like that so he agrees to go Save them himself leaving the girl surprised realizing he can't run

fast enough to make it in time heruka thinks about what to do magic wrap and weight magic won't be enough this time so he decides to try something new using magic wrap to enhance his physical abilities and weight magic to make himself lighter he adds wind magic to launch himself into the sky but unfortunately the class rep gets caught up in the gust as well as hermis sores through the air he kicks Off with his new Air Walk skill propelling himself forward he's impressed thinking that with these skills he can go anywhere he wants but

suddenly he realizes the class rep is hanging on to him and asks what the heck she's doing there she explains that she got swept up in his wind magic and tells him to stop they're already at their destination but Haruka of course casually drops the bomb and he hasn't quite figured out how to stop they crash Straight into the monsters attacking the people accidentally defeating them in the process heruka picking himself up ask the people if they're all right one of them still in shock responds that they should be the ones asking him that question

still they thank him for saving them not entirely sure how they survived that chaotic rescue the leader of the group then introduces himself as offer and his friend follows up with his name gch Haruka is relieved that they don't Have any language barriers to deal with he then asks why they were getting attacked by monsters so they explained that Merchants have been getting ambushed in the area recently and the adventurer's guild put out a quest to wipe out the monsters thinking it would be easy money they took the job but quickly realized they were way

out of their league Haruka then spots a massive wolf nearby and learns that it's a creature called the Big Green wolf ofer Then tells his team to gather whatever's left of their stuff but they're clearly frustrated about failing the mission with nothing better to do until the girls arrive Haruka decides to cook up some mushrooms for the adventurers as they eat they realized they're being served stamina caps a rare and valuable find they're shocked that Haruka is sharing something so precious and Haruka and typical fashion is surprised these mushrooms are even rare he learns that

Stamina caps not only restore energy but also help heal wounds eventually the class rep wakes up and not long after the rest of the girls catch up they're stunned when they see a real elf and a knight immediately swarming the adventurers like their models on a Runway the adventurers now back on their feet guide everyone toward the town after some time omu finally comes into view so the girls ecstatically Sprint toward the town and the whole group Enters together the scene then shifts to the delinquents who are big busy leveling of their abilities feeling confident

after their training they decide they're finally ready to go after the girls but Tanaka suggests they target the group of nerds first since they can force them to unlock the Puppeteer and charm skills so the delinquents love the idea and quickly agree unaware that the jocks have been eavesdropping on their entire plan back In omu town the girls are practically bouncing through the streets hyped up by all the Wonders civilization has to offer they're gushing over everything but class rep quickly reminds them that they're flat broke and have a mountain of stuff still left to

do she rushes off to round up the excited girls while Haruka watches with a grin thinking to himself that now that he's gotten everyone safely to the city they shouldn't need him anymore that means he Can finally slip back into his peaceful Carefree learner lifestyle meanwhile class rep is struggling to keep the girls under control and in desperation she asks heruka Len a hand but haruka's already kicked back chilly in the shade because his work is done or so he thinks class rep frustratedly gets it he's relieved to be in the city but there's still

so much left to handle so she blows her whistle rallying the girls into order and lays out her plan first They'll head to the adventurer's guild to sell all the loot they gathered on their Journey then they'll register with the guild and rent an in for the night while they're at it they'll also ask around to see if anyone spotted the Nerds lately it's a solid plan but the popular girls immediately take offense annoyed that class rep is treating the Nerds like some side quest she quickly apologizes but Haruka can't resist poking fun at the

popular girls for Caring so much about the nerds in the first place a little while later the group makes their way to the adventurer's guild and it's way more intimidating than Haruka expected the second they step inside they're hit with hostile stairs and haruka's gut is screaming at him to back out before he can even think about it offer tells him that the Guild Master wants to meet him heruka figures it is not a great sign so he tells the class rep to get the girls Register while he heads upstairs to see what the Guild

Master wants upstairs the vibe is even worse everyone looks scarier and haruka's nerves are shot at the end of the room gatch is waiting and leads him to the guild Master's office Hero Walks In bracing for the worst as he comes face to face with a menacing looking guy but to a surprise The Guild Master just wanted to thank him for saving off tier and his party so all that worry was for nothing after that's Done Haruka heads back downstairs and spots a counter figuring that's where you go to sell Magic Stone so he walks

up and asks the attendant she confirms so Haruka casually dumps a pile of stones out of his back there's a lot more where that came from but before he can pull out the r the poor attendant tells him to stop apparently he's just dropped 2 days worth of overtime on her desk so she asks him to come back tomorrow so she Can finish appraising the ones he's already handed over her is not in a rush so he agrees and besides the girls have all finished registering as adventurers which means it's his turn Haruka heads confidently

into the registration room to get assessed but his smug grin doesn't last long The Guild worker hits him with a bad news he's too weak to become an adventurer turns out you need to be at least level 10 to register and even then you'd have to join a party to Qualify if Haruno wants to register as a solo Adventurer he needs to be at least level 20 but he's only level 9 and thanks to his luner skill he can't form a party anyway so it looks like he's stuck being unemployed for a while later that

night class rep leads everyone to the lodging The Guild arrange for them but when they finally get there heruka starts to freak out because it looks a lot like a love Hotel he calms down after realizing it isn't and everyone Says good night before heading off to their separate rooms the next morning they all meet up at a diner for breakfast and class rep excitedly tells them that the town is supposed to be really safe so they're free to explore and do whatever they want the girls are thrilled and start planning a shopping trip for

later and seeing that they can handle themselves from here on out Hera decides he'll head back into the woods as soon as he gets paid for his crystals After breakfast heruka heads to the guild to check if his magic stones have been appraised but when he arrives he's met with sincere apologies from the staff turns out they don't have enough money on hand to pay him all at once the Guild Master then steps out personally to apologize asking Haruka if he'd be willing to accept payment and installments Haruka laid back as usual says he's fine

with it and Guild Master breathes a sigh of relief grateful for Haruka's understanding in the meantime The Guild Master hands over what they've already appraised and it's 8 million ARA in that bag and from what heruka and class rep have figured out since arriving in onu the currency's value is pretty much the same as back on Earth which means heruka just hit the jackpot the payout is massive because heruka brought in more fank Stones than the guild has ever seen and on top of that he took down some green wolves which Bumped up the reward

even more sitting on a small fortune Haruka decides to do some shopping before heading back to the forest so gatech chimes in saying he knows a spot heruka might want to check out naturally heruka assumes he's being led to an adult establishment but much to his disappointment gch takes him to a rundown weapon shop instead a shop specializes in rare gear collected from Dungeons and since heruka is a bit of an odd case gek figured this would be the Perfect place for him to Gear Up sure the place looks like it might fall apart any

second but gadx swearers the quality is top-notch heruka trusting gex judgment decides to give a shot the equipment might look weird but the effects they offer are Next Level so Haruka ends up spending the entire day browsing and buying as much as he can afford just as he's about to wrap up he spots a necklace that catches his eye it looks pretty decent but when he uses his Appraisal skill the only description he gets is fits seven it's the same cryptic message he got when appraising his villager set earlier so he curiously asks the shopkeeper

if he knows what fit 7 is supposed to mean a shopkeeper explains that the necklace allows the wearer to combine the effects of up to seven different items and use them all at once so her's eyes light up because this sounds incredibly useful if the effect also applies to his villager Set it means he can stack even more effects onto his gear he's about to start sorting through items for the best combinations but right then class rep bursts in yelling at him for St staying out so late Haruka realizing he's been here for hours admits

he still has a lot more he wants to try out as he's holding one of the items it suddenly reacts and before he can process what's happening all the items in front of him fuse into one a shot keeper understandably Furious Reminds heruka he hasn't paid for any of it yet and all that gear had cost him well over 10 million era to acquire heruka starts panicking knowing he doesn't have that kind of money so GX steps in pleading with the shopkeeper to accept haruka's 8 million as a compromise the next day heruka is sulking

because he blew all his cash and is now flat broke he'd love to head out and gather more crystals but the problem is you're not allowed to leave town to Hunt monsters unless you're a registered Adventurer and of course he's already tried sneaking out with some of the girls but classr caught him and gave him another earful now he's come up with a perfect plan to escape unnoticed his villager cloak got combined with an invisibility cloak so he figures this is his ticket to slip out of the city without anyone realizing he sneaks past class

rep and the girls feeling a bit guilty for not saying goodbye but he Knows she'd definitely stop him if she found out heruka manages to sneak out of the lodging successfully but once he's outside he makes the classic mistake of taking off his invisibility cloak thinking he's in the clear stoy tries to jump over the wall a couple of the girls who are hanging around outside spot him so faruka gets panicky and loses his footing and in a moment of pure bad luck he slams his family future against the wall he crashes to the ground

groaning And yells at the girls for scaring him like that they just look at him confused and say that they were only asking where he was going and why he was jumping the wall in the first place recognizing them as part of the athletic group Haruka quickly notices one of them is missing using his perception skill he locates her and to his horror sees that she's about to strip naked right in the middle of the street so Haruka along with the athletic girls rush over to stop her and Thankfully they managed to intervene before she's

fully undressed but by then haruka's Grand escape plans have been completely wrecked the next day all the girls are preparing to head out to complete a quest for the guild heruka still deter to tag along asks if they let him join but class rep immediately shuts him down because she doesn't trust him anymore after his little stunt trying to ditch them the day before she then assures him they'll be back soon And heruka NS saying he'll wait but the moment class rep and the others leave haruka's Grim returns because he has no intention of sitting

around he's learned from yesterday's mess so this time he keeps his cloak on until he's safely outside the city Gates and once he's in the clear he takes it off now he's officially out of the city with nothing standing between him and his cozy house in the forest but as heruka is running he notices a bunch of destroyed Buildings off in the distance normally this would scream side quest but Haruka couldn't care less because he just wants to get back to his house so he completely ignores it he also spots a horde of goblins and

it's a perfect opportunity for some quick experience points if he kills them but once again he brushes it off because his priority is the forest not leveling up right now then just when he thinks he's in the clear he stumbles upon a carriage being Attacked by Bandits it's hard to to ignore especially with the people inside crying out for help Haruka debates for a second but ultimately decides to keep moving because this isn't his problem but of course as soon as he tries to leave the bandits Target him so Haruka gets annoyed and tries to

reason with them explaining that he doesn't want to get involved the bandits however don't care and keep coming at him leaving Haruka no choice but to act so with a Single fire spell he absolutely roasts them the staff he's holding is from one of the weird item combinations he got stuck with but turns out it's way more powerful than he expected as the bandits struggle back to their feet heruka is still trying to avoid unnecessary drama warns them to leave him alone if they know what's good for them the bandits impressed by his magic assume

that's his only strength and decide to rush him in close combat but it's a big mistake Because heruka takes them down effortlessly knocking each one out with a single strike the bandits are shocked because they can't believe they're getting wrecked by one kid so they are desperate for answers and asking what his job is that question hits a nerve because heruka is still unemployed and it stings the then Bandits check his status trying to figure out what they're up against but when they see he's only level 9 they get cocky again convinced They can beat

him if they use their weapon skills weapon skills only unlock at level 20 so Haruka doesn't have any and from what he knows weapon skills are really dangerous so he starts to feel a little nervous the then Bandits start using their weapon skills and while they're definitely dangerous they keep shouting out their attacks before they strike so heruka is unimpressed and easily Dodges every single one of their moves until it all collapse from Exhaustion but just when he thinks it's over he notices a girl approaching him from behind and he groans internally because this has

unskippable side quest written all over it the girl introduces herself as Marielle from a noble family and she wants to thank heruka for helping her but then she hesitates remembering that he did try to ignore her at first so she's unsure if she should be grateful still despite his reluctance she appreciates that he Eventually stepped in to help and she has a favor to ask her father is the Lord of a nearby City and she's hoping heruka will accompany her back since she's worried about her safety hura isn't interested at first but the mention of

reward pequs his interest so he reluctantly agrees to escort her as they travel Mariel makes Small Talk asking where he was coming from when they met this prompts heruka to launch into a rant about the awful City he just Left he complains about how the guild didn't have enough money to pay him refused to register him as an adventurer and how the city wouldn't even let him leave without a permit as heruka vents Mariel's eyes widen because she realizes he's talking about omu the very City her father runs so she starts crying devastated by how

little heruka thinks of her home heruka feels a Pang of regret realizing Mariel is the daughter of the Lord of onu meaning the carriage He's escorting is headed right back to the place he was so happy to leave so now he deeply regrets agreeing to this little side quest meanwhile back in the forest tensions are running high as the Jim Bros square off against the delinquents because the Jim Bros aren't about to let the delinquents hurt any of the girls while the delinquent leader has no qus about killing them if necessary but just as the

leader raises his sword to strike he's abruptly Stabbed through the back the jocks and the delinquents are both stunned by what they've just witnessed but as the remaining delinquents attempt to avenge their Fallen Friend the first one to step up also gets taken down with a quick stab the last two then decide to attack together hoping to even the odds but the unknown attacker is just as quick to handle them the jocks are now fully aware they're outclass so they try to run but the asent is faster appearing In front of them with a menacingly

slow Advance meanwhile Haruka has just been dragged back to town by Mariel and let's just say he's not thrilled he didn't want to come but Mariel started tearing up so he went along just to keep the peace when they reach the Lord's House Marielle leaves him alone for a moment and he glances around sure it's a fancy place but it has nothing to do with him so he heads straight for the door to leave but before he makes his exit Marielle comes back upset he's trying to bail on her after she specifically asked him to

wait while she changed she then insists he wait a bit longer because she still has something special planned to thank him Hera doesn't really want to but seeing how insistent she is he gives in at first he was totally against staying but when Mariel finally shows him the feast she prepared his attitude takes a complete flip this whole setup is her way of showing appreciation but Soon enough she's annoyed again because heruka is absolutely ignoring her too busy stuffing his face with food as he digs in Mariel tells one of her maids to bring out

the rest of Hera's reward they bring him a pouch of money and while he nods an acknowledgement he barely seems excited for a bonus Mariel even noticed herugo wasn't registered in the City so she went ahead and got a custom ID card made for him giving him free rein to enter and leave as he pleases it's a Thoughtful gift but Haruka now totally lost in his dessert is barely paying attention at this point the next day class rep and the rest of the girls immediately start grilling heruka about what happened last night heruka tells them

he was just summoned to the local Lord's mansion and while class re can tell he's not lying she's baffled while the Lord would even want to see him in the first place Hera keeps his story vague not wanting to reveal that he'd Met Mariel during a boxed escape attempt eventually the girls drop it and decide to head out on a mission but before they leave class rep firmly reminds heruka he's not allowed to leave town this time though heruka seems unusually agreeable but that's only because he knows he'll have no trouble leaving once they're gone

with his custom ID he's finally free to slip out of town without any hassle but before he bails he has a few things to take care of he buys new gear Feasts on some good food and leaves a note for class rep hoping it'll keep her from blowing up when she realizes he's gone in the note he says he's heading back to the forest to check on the jocks it's mostly just an excuse but he is actually a bit worried about those muscle heads after showing his ID he's clear to leave town and this time

he's determined not to get sidetracked by any annoying detours before long he's back in the woods and he's relieved to see Everything just as he left it eager to get home he lets his guard down for a moment and that's when an orc tries to sneak up and Bash him over the head luckily heruka stats are way too high for an attack like that to do anything so he swats the orc down down with a single hit from his staff he's puzzled though since Orcs don't usually roam this part of the forest even stranger he

finds a fresh human blood trail nearby and since he knows the Nerds are too Strong to lose to anything in these Woods he figures it must belong to one of the jocks he begins tracking the blood trail and eventually finds the jocks bloody and beaten sprawled under a tree at first he thinks they're dead but as he gets closer he notices they're still breathing so without any hesitation he dumps every healing potion in his inventory over them until they finally regain in Consciousness the Jacks begin explaining what happened and While Haruka had assumed they were

ambushed by the delinquents he's shocked to learn all the delinquents are actually dead heruka quickly asks if the Nerds were attacked too but the jocks have no idea they don't think so since the Nerds left the forest ages ago they can see haruka's intent to hunt down whoever did this so they warn him Tanaka is insanely powerful now they barely lasted seconds against him and to make things worse he took all their Overpowered weapons making him even deadlier they suspect Tanaka has been planning this from the moment their class got transported here and they're not

sure he can be stopped but they're pretty certain about one thing his next Target among all the remaining students they think Tanaka is most likely going after class rep since she has the hijack skill heruka realizes it's possible Tanaka would want her for her unique ability but only class rep the Nerds and He himself knew about it so he can't help but wonder how Tanaka got his hands on that information the jocks were able to piece it together because Tanaka kept pestering them for for class rep's location when they couldn't tell him what he wanted

he beat them within an inch of their lives they didn't want to lead him to her so instead they dragged themselves to haruka's area hoping he'd find them before they blood out now with haruka's strength they feel confident They can win if they all fight together but heruka isn't so sure he even wants to get wrapped up in a battle like this he came here to avoid all side quests yet if class rep is in danger he's got no choice but to step up still he makes it crystal clear to the jocks this is a

fight he's handling alone the jocks try to talk him out of it pointing out how risky is to go solo against someone as powerful as Tanaka but when they see the Steely look in haruka's eyes they Realize there's no changing his mind so they reluctantly agree to let him go alone Huka tells them to head into town and catch up with the other girls and while they're at it they really ought to apologize to class rep for ditching the group earlier as the jocks walk away heruka considers that having them fight alongside him might have

helped but he knows the risk is too high if Tanaka overpowers them no one would be left to protect the girls so the safest option Is for him to tack this alone making sure he's fully prepared for the clash with Tanaka meanwhile back at the Village class Reb is beside herself with worry after realizing Haruka has left the city the other girls reassure her promising that he'll definitely return back in the forest Haruka thinks through his game plan against Tanaka because the jocks warned him that Tanaka's weapon skills are unbelievably powerful even the no-name bandits

had terrifying moves But Haruka discovered One Thing Once a weapon skill animation starts it can't be stopped if Tanaka attempts one her heruka is determined to exploit that Split Second opening but to pull it all he'll need a new skill which means he'll have to level up just then he notices a horde of goblins lured in by the Jock's blood they're high level so he takes them down for experience but it's still not enough to level up so he frustratedly mutters that he needs Something tougher for real progress and almost as if summoned by his

words a Goblin King appears and Haruka steals himself for battle the Goblin King is a beast its attacks are incredibly fast and one blow could be fatal heruka has to dodge at the last possible moment and there's no way to Counterattack without risking a hit forced to switch strategies he uses his warp skill to blend several of his other skills into a new powerful one and with this new skill He blazes past the Goblin King and takes it out instantly he's thrilled that his skill combo worked out so perfectly but just as he's celebrating he

senses a terrifying presence behind him so he instinctively braces himself knowing that another fight is just beginning this monster is a goblin Emperor and it's already at level 50 while haruk is still stuck at level 9 so Haruka realizes there's no way he can beat this beast in a straight fight his only Option is to try his combined skill again so he activates it and charges straight at the goblin Emperor the second he's within range heruka strikes but his special skills don't even scratch it the goblin Emperor Rises as if nothing happened and launches a

barriage of attacks at hero with mind-blowing speed it's obvious this thing is using weapon skills because its hits are way too powerful for anything else Hera desperately searches for an Opening in the emperor's ATT attack animations waiting for his moment to counter he then spots it and Strikes the Goblin in the chest sending it flying back but just as he thinks he's made progress the goblin starts healing itself right on the spot heru realizes that regular attacks won't cut it in this fight so he'll need to come up with another combined skill but before he

can think the goblin Emperor strikes back with a vicious weapon skill launching Powerful slashes his way hermo barely manages to block but the blow leaves him battered at this rate his chances of winning are looking good but he knows he can't back down not if he wants to be strong enough to protect his friends so he drags himself back up and charges at the goblin emperor in one last desperate attempt to end it and by the time da breaks Haruka is the last one standing fax's Relentless effort he's gained two levels now that he has

reached level 11 Haruka heads back home to check his status window just as he'd hoped his new level has unlocked several new skills though he's unsure if they'll be enough to take Tanaka in a fight but with his madeup skill at least he can strike in a split second to exploit any weapon skill animation and now all he can do is hope that things turn out in his favor later that evening outside haruka's house Tanaka shows up and Haruka has been expecting him Haruka remembers how Tanaka played the victim when the jocks bullied him after

they first arrived but now he sees it was all an act for Revenge as Tanaka and heruka face off the girls return to Omi after a long day of adventuring on their way back they notice a couple of guys slumped outside the walls they quickly realized it's the jocks are relieved to see them until they noticed they're in Rush shape class rep recalls that haruga had left a note saying he was going to check on the Jocks so she asked them if they know where he is and they tell her that heruka is currently fighting

in the woods to protect them all back in the woods Tanaka is disappointed to see heruka is the only one here because he'd been hoping for class rep instead and he even went through the trouble of stirring up the delinquents to split the class heruka realizes Tanaka has been orchestrating everything from the start and now Tanaka is ready to kill anyone Who gets in his way to get what he wants Tanaka snears at heruka not see him as much of a threat and turns to leave intent on finding class re and stealing her hijack skill

but Herman CR even if he doesn't particularly care for all his classmates can't let this happen so he raises his staff to Tanaka's neck coldly declaring that he will not pass Tanaka gets irritated that someone he considers a nobody like heruka dares to stand in his way but he's more than willing to Kill him if that's what it takes to see his plans through Tanaka then fires up the shock wave and launches himself straight at heruka forcing heruka to throw up his hands in defense before he left the White Room Tanaka had noticed there were

only trash skills left on the skill board so even if he's not exactly sure what abilities haruka's got Tanaka's confident he's got the upper hand against someone like him Tanaka then uses his magic to summon and hurl Several rocks at heruka but just as heruka tries to defend himself again Tanaka activates a metal skill to mess with his movements freezing him in place for a split second leaving him barely able to dodge out of the way before the Rocks nearly crush him even though heruka regains his Mobility he's weigh slower than usual thanks to Tanaka's

skill tamaka is all set to exploit this weakness so he starts spawning Crystal Spikes beneath haruka's feet heruka manages to dodge the spikes by jumping from side to side but it's obvious he won't be able to keep this up much longer tamaka gives him credit for lasting this long but before finishing him off he has one burning question he demands to know when heruka first started suspecting he was up to something shady and heruka reveals he'd been wary from the start because there had to be some reason why Tanaka was Hanging around the delinquents back

then Tanaka is impressed by haruka's instincts but haruka's got a question of his own he wants to know when Tanaka started plotting his underhanded scheme Tanaka proud and unfazed declares he's been planning this from the very beginning sure he admits it was a setback when class rep snagged the hijack skill instead of him but once he got his metal skill the one that lets him mess with others movements he knew He could still come out on top if he played his cards right but just then Tanaka conjures magical roots that shoot up and bind heruka

to the ground and with heruka immobilized Tanaka hurls a massive Fireball intending to reduce him to Ash Tanaka's convinced this should be enough to end heruka but to his shock heruka absorbs the magic and emerges unscathed herle wasn't even sure that trick would work when he tried it but he's thrilled that his magic absorbing Vine fused into his staff came through then while Tanaka stand their Frozen in Surprise heruka seizes the moment charging at him but just before heruka can land a critical blow Tanaka summons a sword and blocks the attack surey surprised heruka absorbed

his fire magic but magic isn't his only weapon and he actually has so many weapons he can barely decide which one he'll use to kill heruka deciding to have some fun he plans to use them all aiming to sh Heruka to Pieces as he charges in for another attack Hara defends himself as best as he can but with Tanaka switching up attack patterns and weapon types it's impossible to keep up So eventually Haruka slips leaving him open to a brutal strike that sends him sprawling into a cluster of bushes and by the time he scrambles

to his feet Tanaka lands a vicious slash that sends him skidding across the forest floor hura survives the blow he's winded and struggling to Stand Tanaka soon approaches standing over him with a smug grin hura hates to admit it but he might actually be in serious trouble Tanaka's beage of attack patterns combined with a range of skills is overwhelming so Haruka starts piecing things together and he figures that Tanaka must have copied all their classmates's abilities with a copycat skill Tanaka is amused that Haruka figured it out so fast but when he confirms it Haruka

realizes that Tanaka Is after class rep next because he wants her hijack skill to steal every original skill and with all those overpowered abilities they'll become Unstoppable Tanaka doesn't give him another moment to think and he swings a sthe this time knocking heruka back with the sheer force of his strike heruka can barely hold on and decides to launch his own desperate attack to catch Tanaka off guard but as he strikes he realizes too late that Tanaka had tricked him with Illusion magic then after realizing that nothing he tries is working heruka appears to give

up standing still as Tanaka charges at him with a sword but at the last moment he side steps with a smirk and Whispers In Tanaka's ear that he's figured out his secret and from that moment on Tanaka finds himself struggling to land a single hit on Haruka so heruka explains that he was letting Tanaka unleash everything in his Arsenal to discover a weakness and while Dodging each strike he noticed that Tanaka never used the same skill more than twice and from that he deduced there must be a limit to how many times Tanaka can use

each copied skill so if heruka can keep dodging Tanaka will eventually run out of skills Tanaka feels a wave of panic realizing heruka has exposed his biggest weakness but still he's convinced he can finish heruka off before his skill Reserve runs dry so he lunges again but Haruka is now Quick enough to leave over him and Counterattack heruka has adapted to Tanaka's speed and no matter how many new attacks he tries heruka isn't caught off guard anymore then heruka seizes his chance charging in for the finishing blow but just before he can strike Tanaka fires

a laser beam forcing heruka to pull back even with his secret EXP Expos Tanaka is still a powerful Foe and he's not to be underestimated Tanaka's breathing grows heavy as exhaustion Starts to show yet he stands tall shouting that he'll never let himself be defeated by someone like Haruka though he's at a disadvantage he's got one last trick up his sleeve he DS wildly around the forest moving unpredictably to confuse heruka who struggles to keep up and by the time heruka finally realizes what Tanaka is planning it's too late because Tanaka has already activated his

death skill and as it takes effect Haruka collapses to the ground and Tanaka stands over him laughing victoriously that he has finally won the battle Tanaka then starts giving heruka reluctant credit admitting that he was forced to burn through nearly all his saved skills in the fight but he sneers saying it doesn't matter because once he kills off the remaining classmates and claims the hijack skill he'll have all the permanent abilities he wants he then kicks Hera's head for good measure and turns to walk away but as he's leaving Heruka calls after him calmly pointing

out that it's pretty rude to step on someone's head without an apology Tanaka stops in his tracks stunned that heruka is even alive since the death skill has a 100% success rate on anyone above level 11 but heruka explains he has a skill that grants him resistance to negative status effects plus his luck stat is maxed out thanks to Rolling double M's when he first arrived and that luck likely countered the death Skill and for falling to the ground it was just for the dramatic effect because he thought it'd be funny Tanaka can't see the

funny side in that show and demands to know how Haruka can even move it all considering he used his metal skill to lock haruka's movements from the beginning of the battle heruka admits the metal skill is a real pain in the ass and technically he hasn't been able to move his body instead he's been using his puppet skill to control Himself from the outside the entire time and he proudly declares that it may seem all the skills Haruka acquired are trash to anyone but with him it will become Unstoppable frustrated in refusing to believe he's

losing to someone with junk skills tamaca lunges at heruka and starts slashing wildly but heruka unfazed deflects each blow with ease and warns Tanaka he'll run out of skills if he keeps it up ignoring the warning Tanaka goes for a desperate overhead Slash but as expected Haruka emerges completely unharmed and then he calmly tells him that his reign of terror is over Tanaka can't understand how it's possible for him to lose especially after perfectly calculating everything to ensure his victory in his mind 1 plus 1 should always equal two meaning Haruka should never have been

able to grow this powerful Haruka just laughs pointing out that Tanaka's rigid way of thinking as Nave and sure the rules of math made Sense back on Earth but here the laws of physics don't apply then with a flashback we see that Tanaka had always been the genius back in school be endlessly bored out of his mind and surrounded by what he saw as his dwit classmates he always long for something to break the monomane and His Wish was granted when their class got summoned to this new world then the moment he saw the skill

board he ran his calculations quickly deciding that the most thrilling Path was to kill off all his classmates and steal their skills for himself and no matter how Psychopathic that made him sound he wasn't about to let nobody like Haruka derail his grand plan Tanaka then keeps attacking with what's left of his skills but Haruka can tell he's running low on auctions so he Rees himself to take advantage of that and deliver the final blow but just as he's about to strike he stabbed from behind and with a grin Tanaka reveals that he can control

Weapons remotely as well and with Haruka bleeding and on his knees Tanaka begins slashing at him claiming Victory is finally Within Reach but then in an unexpected twist Haruka slaps him with his staff knocking Tanaka back all of Tanaka's elaborate plans and calculations couldn't save him here and of course his copy skill might be overpowered but it made him overconfident so he never had to learn adaptability like heruka did and that's Why he's going to lose then in a desperate move Tanaka attempts to stab heruka with his sword skill but heruka anticipates it and counters

with a madeup skill of his own fatally wounding Tanaka who collapses lifelessly despite haruka's Victory he's badly wounded so as the adrenaline fades the full force of his injuries hits him leaving him drained and on the verge of passing out but just before he crumples to the ground is caught by the Nerds Hera is Relieved to see them so he can't help but joke that it wouldn't been nice if they shown up a bit sooner to help they may have missed the battle but at least now they're here to get him back on his feet

her is grateful for the help though he's curious how they even knew he was out here they explain that class rep found them right as they were leaving the dungeon and told them about haruka's battle so they couldn't just stand by and let him handle it alone and without Hesitation they headed into the woods to back him up in the end they all make it back to the city where the girls are waiting by the gate to greet heruka they're visibly worried and announce that they prepare to feast in his honor Haruka though feels awkward

under all the attention then the leader of the gim Bros approaches and in true bro fashion he doesn't need words just a solid dap to celebrate Hera's Victory with that done the girls suggest they all head Back to the Inn as the baths are ready and everyone can use a good scrub down but Haruka doesn't get much Choice as they drag him along meanwhile the popular girls stay behind to apologize to the Nerds and it's a surprise since the Nerds never expected these girls to show humility the popular girls admit they were wrong for how

they treated the Nerds and genuinely thank them for all they did for the group then we see that with everyone making amends Perer feels that all the Loose Ends have been nicely tied up and he starts to feel like there's no reason for him to stick around so he starts quietly slipping away to return to his peaceful life in the woods but before he can escape class rep catches him in the act and furiously demands to know where he thinks he's going reminding him of how worried she was he might not make it back and

now that he's finally here he's trying to sneak off again Haruka Sheepishly apologizes and class rep relents saying it's fine as long as he doesn't try to vanish on them again besides this time all the girls will be keeping an eye on him so there's no way in hell he's getting away that easily thanks for watching subscribe to not miss the next part
