so the days passed, after seeing each one's status plaque, Meld asked each student to show their state plaque so there are no secrets in the group. Kouki being the "leader" of the group showed his qualities of "hero" and indeed his statistics were of a character broken, except for Neah who was a rare case.
While each one showed his state plate to the group it was the turn of Neah who did not care much to show his state plate. Anyway, it was hidden and only he could see it, and he could show it to those he wants, so he tough 'meh, it is okay'
Therefore, when he showed his plate of states, there was an awkward silence in the training area. While Meld thought maybe it was not a good idea since this world is "strong eat the weak" so they will annoy the boy. Poor Meld does not know who he's dealing with.
The others, even the coaches, showed a contemptuous look to Neah when they found him a simple master blacksmith and a transmuter, jobs that served nothing other than building things, not fighting. So the students followed the example of their coaches and put aside Neah, while Kouki and a group of boys possibly the group of Daisuke Hiyama, those who bothered Hajime in the novel.
They showed mockery smiles on their faces, they thought the Pretty boy could not have everything, and it was a great surprise that Neah was the "weakest" of all present. Almost to the point of an ordinary person of this world.
Aiko being the most mature of the group of students, came to the defense of Neah, also showing her plate of states, which specified that she was a farmer where their states were like Neah. He found this warm gesture by the class teacher. Not for nothing was she one of the best teachers in her school in her old world.
it had been two weeks since Neah had shown his status plate to the group. Currently, Neah was taking advantage of the training break to take a little relax in the open air while watching the bluish sky.
Meanwhile, in his hand was his current state plaque where he had only climbed three levels since the "practice" only gave him skills but no experience to level up, so he would escape to the nearest forest to kill beasts or low level monsters.

Neah was a fucking broken character! But his non-concealed state only showed that he had no chance of being a "hero" companion to the deception of the coaches and Meld. So he was usually away from that group of people. He had also made a friendship with Shizuku, Kaori and Aiko, he had asked about a student named "Nagumo Hajime" and she was puzzled about the unknown name. Since she had never heard, so he understood that the arrival in this "world" caused there was no main character. So some people differ from what the novel that Neah read in his previous life.
After being branded as useless by the group of coaches and students on the outside he showed an impulsive face, but internally he looked at them mockingly and cynically, since later he would have to save the butt of many students, but at the same time will give the luxury of killing with his own hands characters who should have died according to him in the novel. But that will be much later, so his first plan is to go to the labyrinth so Daisuke will "push" him into the void and bring forth the seed is planted in the heart of Kaori and Shizuku, and above all, become strong and free the vampire girl who is trapped in the lower levels of Orcus Dungeon.
Neah in a night where he had stayed awake talking to Kaori and Shizuku thanks to his perception, he found someone hidden who looked at them with a jealous face while slowly turning into something horrible and twisted, while Neah mocked internally to that person since he will cause his plan.
The next day, Neah and the students were gathered around the plaza in front of the Great Orcus Dungeon.
Seeing in person and reading are two very different concepts where Neah learned them. According to the novel this place was like a museum with a reception where a pretty girl in uniform attended you while she saw the exit and entrance of the dungeon.
And indeed Neah got the surprise of his life. It was just as he remembered, but a little more exaggerated, since there were tables and a bar near the reception where there were people drinking and talking, possibly adventurers who were resting to go to a round for the monsters and sell their raw parts, such as the skins since the flesh of monsters in this world was natural poison for all.
The interior of the dungeon differed completely from the bustling exterior. There was not much ambient light, but in front there was a corridor who emitted light. The corridor measured about 5 meters in height and width, and it was possible to distinguish, to a certain extent, without magical light or torches. Special green stones were embedded in the walls and emitted a light that illuminated the dungeon. The Orcus dungeon seemed to have huge veins of these greenstones.
The group, organized in ranks, progressively progressed. For a while, nothing interesting happened while they continued to advance to the room. The room was dome-shaped, and the ceiling seemed to be around 7-8 meters high. Hairy gray balls sprouted from the sides of the wall.
Meld: Well, let Kouki and his group move forward. The others back! We will have to change shifts with the vanguard. Prepare! They call these monsters rat-men. They are strong and dangerous and fast. Fight seriously!
Just as he said, the rat-men jumped at them quickly. His scarlet eyes glittered eerily in his grayish hair. His name suited them well. These were creatures with characteristic features and muscled torsos, besides being bipedal. Only his chest and abdomen, with a tablet of 8 square markings, was not covered in hair. It was as if they wanted to show their muscles, Neah for a moment remembered the bodybuilders of his old world.
The vanguard was composed of Kouki and his group. When Shizuku, who was at the front, saw the enemy his face tensed. The rat-men emitted a disturbing sensation. Kouki, Shizuku and Ryutaro intercepted the rat-men who were charging against them. Meanwhile, the two girls who were close to Kaori conjured. These were Eri Nakamura and the energetic Loli Suzu Taniguchi. They prepared to invoke their magic and remained in the taught formation.
Kouki wielded his radiant sword so quickly that it was difficult to see his movements, while for Neah, they were monotonous and simple movements. Nimbly with a knob he eliminated enemies. His sword was one of the artifacts given by the Kingdom. This had the attribute of light. Any enemy captured in the light, produced by the sword, would weaken and automatically strengthen its bearer. Even if it was "Sacred", it had these "dirty" abilities which Neah secretly scanned to keep it in his Reality Marble and "invoke" it when he wants to occupy it.
The trade of Ryutaro was "Boxer", that's why he used gauntlets and shin guards as equipment. These were also artifacts, and could produce shock waves. They were thought of as indestructible. With an imposing posture, Ryutaro let none enemy pass with precise kicks and punches. Even if he did not have a shield, he acted like a heavy armored tank.
Shizuku, who was a Samurai girl, with her job "Swordsman" and a sword similar to the fusion of a Shamshir and a Katana. She took a battojutsu stance and unsheathed her sword. All the enemies were cut instantly. The unsheathe was so refined that it impressed the knights even to Neah for a moment.
While the other students watched fascinated the fight of the group of Kouki, a spell resounded.
"" Turbulent black flames, incinerate my enemies, transform them into ashes, [Spiral Flame]. "" "
Three people simultaneously conjured up the three swirling flames that engulfed the rat-men. They howled painfully as the flames reduced them to ashes.
Everyone saw that the rat-men were completely exterminated. The other students could not take part. The enemies on the first floor were too weak for Kouki's group.
Meld: Well, a good job! Try next time guys, do not download your guard.
Meld warned them not to trust their own abilities, but smiled at the power the students showed. However, the tension of their first time finding monsters in the dungeon did not stop them. They released a willing smile on their faces, which made Meld shrug at her reactions.
Meld: Even if this is a training exercise, do not abuse the Magic Stones. Since obviously you are slaughtering them.
The group of Kaori, who conjured the spell, blushed at the words of Meld.
From here, they repeated the fights in the same way with no problem. Everything was fine at the low levels. Little by little they reached the 20th floor, which is the goal to be a first class adventurer. The highest floor explored was the 65th floor of the Orcus dungeon. This achievement was only achieved by adventurers 100 years ago. Reaching the 40th floor is considered as first class elite. Those who passed the 20th floor considered themselves first. Since all the students were powerful, they easily passed level 20, with no need much experience. Meld once again said:
Meld: All right, guys. From this point we will find other types of demons, besides attacking us together. Do not let your guard down for having come so easily! We'll finish after completing level 20, get ready! "
All heard the nuanced message of Meld. Up to this point, Neah had done nothing in particular and did not plan to do so. He fought a monster once since the knights had weakened him. He created a hole for the monster to fall inside and stabbed him with the sword they gave him. Until now, he had only defeated a dog-like monster.
Nobody wanted him in his group. Basically, he stayed behind the coverage of the knights. It was quite pathetic according to them. However, repeatedly using his "Transmutation" ability in combat made him improve his magical power. This rose 20 points while the hidden value had risen again by a value of 1000 to be at 4500 in total, and seemed not to be useful in combat for other people. But Neah knew how to use his magic better, but he needs to find something before showing all his power.
While he was thinking about his magic, he heard shouts from the group, thinking about the hero, the muscle head and the two girls together with Meld.
A rock was going towards Kaori but it was really a monster from the dungeon called Rockmounts, which are like small stone golems.
Neah paid attention from now on as here he would separate from the group to start his adventure.
After a few minutes where angry Kouki activated one of his magical abilities where because of him, almost caused to collapse part of the dungeon trapping the group of students and coaches because of the hero.
While Kouki is scolded by Meld, Kaori approached where the hole was in the wall where there was a strange gemstone dazzling. Meld listened to Kaori's voice and looked towards his direction and observed that it was a Grantz crystal, commenting that it was rarely one of great size.
Neah, listening to Meld, remembered that Daisuke being blindly in love with Kaori, takes a crystal without measuring the consequences of his actions, causing a dungeon trap to be activated. And the others did not take long to notice. As a soldier accompanying the group shouted to Meld that it was a trap. As the crystals shone more and more, Meld wasted no time and gave an order to everyone.
Meld: Withdrawal! Get out of the room immediately!
At Meld's insistence, everyone fled in a hurry, but they were not fast enough. When the light enveloped the entire room, everyone momentarily felt a sense of afloat. The students felt the change in the atmosphere, and they were stamped on the floor with a thud. Neah when he felt that sensation, he followed the current and get stamped on the floor, because otherwise he could reveal his strength and it was not yet time.
With the growing back pain from the fall, Neah looked around. Like him, all of his companions fell from their backs, letting out slight moans of pain. Meld, the knights and Kouki's group immediately rose to guard the surroundings. Noticing that the previous enchantment was a teleportation spell. Since such magic was impossible at present, it was possibly ancestral magic.
They were transported on a huge stone bridge, approximately 100 meters long, and the roof seemed to be about 20 meters. There was no river going under the bridge because in the deep darkness they could see nothing. They felt like being in an abyss.
The width of the bridge was about 10 meters, but there was no edge or handrail. If you slipped, there would be nothing to hold on, and you would fall headlong into the precipice. The group was right in the middle of the bridge. On both sides of the bridge, they could see a corridor that led to a staircase leading to the upper level.
When he confirmed this, Meld issued the orders with a stern expression.
Meld: Guys, get in there immediately, run up the stairs. Quick!
The students quickly moved. However, the dungeon trap would not let them leave so easily. Many creatures emerged from the magic circles that appeared on both sides of the bridge. On one side there was a huge beast, and on the other a lot of monsters.
Meld watched the huge demon and whispered palely
Meld: It can not be ... a Behemoth.
Neah, listening to Meld's words, formed a mocking smile on his face. The plan would begin now.
All thanks to the jealousy of an idiot who will die with a sword in his skull later.
