A Commonplace Story Of Overpowered Sorcerer

After a few seconds, Rio finished pouring his mana into his status plate and opened his eyes to see his status displayed on it. When his eyes saw his status, he cheered inside his mind. What appeared in his status plate was———

His status appeared according to his wish. He had decided to show an average status for the students who got summoned into Tortus. He didn't want to be taken lightly by everyone else, but he didn't to be seen above Kouki who was known as the Hero. Kouki and Captain Meld asked Rio to show his information in the status plate. Rio handed over his status plate towards them and they had different reactions for Rio's status.

"Whoah, Sorcerer job who has an affinity for all magic elements! It is a very rare job. Though not as rare as Kouki's Hero job, your job is only one in a million! As expected of someone who was summoned from a greater world than this one, I suppose." Captain Meld was very impressed by Rio's status.

"Well, good for you, Rio. You have good status over there." Kouki's reaction was lackl.u.s.ter compared to Captain Meld, but it didn't hold any bad intention. It was natural for Kouki to feel lackl.u.s.ter due to his amazing stats that triumphed everyone else.

At this moment, Rio also felt Ehit's gaze on him ceased as if they lost interest in him. Rio felt as if an enormous burden had been lifted from his shoulders the moment Ehit stopped looking in his direction. Rio thought that Ehit had lost interest in him due to his unimpressive status compared to Kouki's. If Ehit realized Rio's true status, they wouldn't cut off their interest in Rio so decisively and quickly. The best scenario from that was that Ehit would change their target from Kouki to him, the worst they would send their angel, Noint, to apprehend him or even kill him on the spot.

For now, Ehit still settled into Kouki as their chosen future vessel. The reason why the students and Aiko were summoned to this world was because of Kouki Amanogawa who was Ehit's real target. If at the moment of summoning, Kouki was alone, he would be transferred here without everyone else. It was due to the pure misfortune that the summoning happened right after a class in which everyone and one teacher were still in the classroom.

"Good! Now, I want you all to check and inform me of your status!" Captain Meld turned his attention to the rest of the students and spoke that. They followed his instruction and handed over their plate to Captain Meld.

Captain Meld was ecstatic after having seen how ridiculous everyone's stats had been. He was probably elated to have so many overpowered allies. But his smile froze in place when he saw Hajime's plate. Finally, it was Hajime's turn. He muttered "Did I just misread it?" and began rapping the plate with his knuckles, then shone some light on it. After staring at it for a long time, he finally returned the plate to Hajime with a complicated expression. When Rio saw this, he understood what had transpired.

"Umm, well, you see... A Synergist is basically a blacksmith of sorts. It might come in handy if you plan on opening a smithy, but otherwise..." Captain Meld muttered out a poor explanation of Hajime's class.

Looking at Hajime's hollow expression, Rio was certain the boys in his class who all hated him would jump at this new chance to belittle him. A blacksmithing class was clearly not a combat-based job. The rest of his classmates all had combat-based jobs, and they would highly doubt his particular job would be of much use in battle.

At this point, Daisuke Hiyama grinned wickedly as he hollered out to Hajime,

"Hey, Nagumo. Don't tell me you seriously got a non-combat job? How's a blacksmith gonna fight monsters? Hey Meld, is this Synergist or whatever a rare job?"

"No, not particularly. One in every ten people has the class. In fact, all of the craftsmen the kingdom employs have the job."

"Gimme a break, Nagumo. You're gonna fight with something like that?" Daisuke folded his arms provocatively as he said those words. As Hajime looked around, he could see that most of his classmates, the boys especially, were all laughing at him.

"Who knows. You never know until you try." Hajime tried to defend himself, but it was for naught. His argument was unconvincing.

"Show us your stats then, if you're so confident. They better be way high to make up for your shitty job."

Daisuke had most likely already guessed Hajime's stats from Captain Meld's expression, but he simply wanted an excuse to bully Hajime some more. He possessed quite a nasty personality. His three flunkies all jeered at Hajime as well. They were the kind of stereotypical thugs that bullied the weak and groveled before the mighty. Their actions were so clearly malicious that Kaori and Shizuku both glared at them, eyes full of disdain. Despite how smitten they were with her, none of them seemed to realize she disliked such bullying. Meanwhile, Rio just watched the development silently. Hajime lazily handed his plate over to Daisuke.

When he saw the stats engraved on it, Daisuke burst out laughing. He passed the plate down to his other underlings and they all sneered or laughed at Hajime as well.

"Bwahahaha... What the hell, man! You're like totally average! Actually, 10's exactly average, so I bet there are even some babies out there stronger than you!"

"Hyahahaha, you've gotta be kidding me! This guy's not even gonna last ten minutes! He'd die so fast that you couldn't even use him as a meat shield!"

Unable to stand it any longer, Kaori opened her mouth to give them a piece of her mind. But before she could get out a single word, someone else began yelling at them. That someone was Aiko.

"Hey! Stop laughing at him! I won't allow anyone to laugh at their classmates on my watch! As a teacher, I absolutely will not condone it! Now return Nagumo's plate this instant!"

The boys were all taken aback by how much anger was visible in Aiko's small frame. They hurriedly returned Hajime's plate in order to avoid her wrath. What a bunch of cowards!

Aiko turned to Hajime and gave him an encouraging pat on the shoulder. She said, "Nagumo, don't worry about your job! Look, I got a non-combat job too! And aside from my job, most of my stats are pretty average too! You're not alone!" Aiko then showed her pink-colored plate to Hajime with a "Here, look!"

Hajime's eyes resembled a dead fish's once he finished reading Aiko's plate. When Rio saw that, he was honestly pitying Hajime.

"Huh? What's wrong, Nagumo!?" Aiko asked as she shook Hajime back and forth. Everyone who had seen her status plate knew the reason behind Hajime's pitiful expression.

It was true that her overall stats were low, and that she didn't possess a combat class, but her exceptional magic stat and a large number of skills meant that she would reach the level of other heroes with just a little training. And lest everyone forget, an army marches on its stomach. Aiko's job was nothing like Hajime's. His was so commonplace that there were myriad of others who were more proficient in it. In other words, even Aiko was plenty overpowered.

Looking at Hajime's expression, Rio was sure that Hajime felt doubly betrayed for getting his hopes up even a little.

"Oh my, Ai, that was the final nail in the coffin..."

"N-Nagumo! Are you alright!?"

Shizuku smiled sadly as she watched Hajime shut down, while Kaori worriedly ran over to him. Aiko tilted her head in confusion. As always, she tried her best but ended up being completely unhelpful. The students smiled at her unchanging ditziness. Aiko had managed to achieve her initial goal of preventing Hajime's bullying, but he still smiled emptily as he thought of the difficulties that lay ahead, and the treatment he would definitely receive.
