Chapter 69: Classmates fall out (Main faction vs Non-Main?faction).
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“I’ll support Masatsugu as king! To overcome this crisis we definitely need the absolute power of a King!”
“I’m also of the same opinion. I think that Miyamoto and the others lack ability.”
“What did you say, Ezuka and Katsuragi! Are you betraying us!?”
“Sayuri! Are you making fun of us!?”
Screams came from my classmates.
“Be quiet Miyamoto! In the first place we didn’t support you! Don’t think that we were friends or anything! Always being bossy! All just because by chance you received a strong skill!”
“Yes, yes. That’s right, Yoshihara-san. Besides I actually think Masatsugu-kun is right.”
Those are Ezuka Yousuke and Katsuragi Sayuri.
They should’ve been people who didn’t like to stand out in the class.
They were cruelly gossiped and ridiculed. So to speak their faction ‘Non-Main faction” is different than Miyamoto and the others.
“What!? Do you guys understand? Don’t think you’ll be let go free after going against me.”
“That’s right, Sayuri. Apologize immediately!”
“I don’t want to! Put an end to it, I’ve followed your selfishness enough! I didn’t want to be something like hero ‘Soldier’ in the first place! I’ve agreed to your selfishness as representative of the class but I don’t want to do things I don’t want to! I’m fed up with you! I’m not your subordinate or whatever!”
“That’s right. Besides we are not the only ones. There are other classmates who are fed up with your tyranny too!”
“What!?” “What did you just say!?”
Both Miyamoto’s and Yoshihara’s eyes were open.
I did not think that these people of inferior rank would rebel at the place where the nobles gathered.
They treat with importancy their face.
They were tarnishing the representative with all of their might.
Well, this is poetic justice.
“I’ll leave it at that. You don’t have considerable power nor are you especially sharp. You are just a thin guy who’s pompous and self-centered. In japan you will be forgiven but in this world it’s different. This harsh world only values if you have true ability. Miyamoto and Yoshihara you guys are repeaters.”
“Wha!?”
“We are repeaters, you say!? Take that back Masatsugu-kun! There are things that should be said and shouldn’t be! Do not talk to me like I looked like a loser!”
Both of them protested in anger.
But, I had no intend to tell a joke. I just wanted to say the obvious things.
“What did I say except that? You guys weren’t able to reach the standards that you set for yourselves. Don’t you think that it’s displeasing while not being one you are calling yourself one?”
On those both of them had vacant expressions.
“You guys volunteered as soldiers to defend this kingdom from the invasion of foreign countries, didn’t you? You became shields to defend the kingdom against barbaric enemies who can’t be beaten by regular soldiers. And so that time is now. You guys have to overcome this crisis with your lives. Isn’t this what you guys agreed and requested for?”
“Wha!? I didn’t had such intentions!”
“Be quiet. The king is still speaking! Castle soldiers what are you doing?”
“Haa. Miyamoto, just be quiet.”
“What!? Sounding so important despite being just a soldier! Who do you think I am… I was called from a different world to…”
“Be quiet, you fool! The king is infront of you! In the first place we stayed quiet and listened to your selfishness because you guys said you would save the country from crisis! For the current dead army you haven’t given even a single concrete plan except only making a mess! I don’t know about you being a hero or whatever, but you should know shame!”
“Wha!?”
I shook my head.
“It’s as that soldier says. Why do you think you were able to get aid from the country and live carefree in the castle without any real achievements or contributions of any kind? You believed you were heroes chosen from a different world. Isn’t that so? As that soldier said you guys were boasting you would save the country from a crisis when it would happen. Now that you guys understand you aren’t able to save it, is there a reason you shouldn’t be called losers?”
I informed them in a way I expected nothing from them.
“Then in that case it wouldn’t just be us! Everyone in the class would be too! After all, none of us has the skill to overcome this crisis!”
Yoshihara said that and acted like a spoiled child.
“You’re a bad learning material for the orphans so be silent.”
“Besides, I should’ve said earlier. The only ones are just you guys. Ezuka and Katsuragi aren’t.”
“Wha!? What’s the meaning of that! They shouldn’t have the power to save the kingdom! If it’s about studying then we’re superior.”
“I don’t understand well about above or below…”
I shake my head.
“If you’re competing for points on a test then wrap yourself in a futon and dream the past. Here that isn’t needed. Right now I am the king so I’m going to use your power. Now, how should we overcome this crisis, that’s important. Those who cannot stop clinging to the past days are those that society calls failures. So wake up and just accept aid from my skill. Not everybody can live by themselves. It’s just mutual survival. Saying that you’re better or whatnot in the end relationship with others is essential. You’re between request my help or your so called superiority.”
“I’ll support Masatsugu!”
“I’ll support him too!”
“Me too!”
On the other side.
“Shut up! I’ll never accept him!”
“That’s right! The superior us will never be together with them!”
Masatsugu faction is 80% and anti-Masatsugu faction is 20%.
Those who were at first from Miyamoto and Yoshihara turned them over and came to me.
Miyamoto and the others were glaring at them.
The Main Faction and Non-Main faction got reversed by my appearance.
It’s only natural but I feel a bit sorry for them. Originally, I wasn’t interested in them, but right now we’re in a war so it’s necessary. It’s not that I want to estrange myself with all human relationships.
Well, it’s fine. This time these guys will learn too. They days of not thinking for yourself and being spoiled like children are over.
I realized that point since I got summoned.
Well, there’s more.
“Currently the members supporting me is enough. You can consider my skill ‘Protect’ as a simple and genuine amplification. The skills of Miyamoto and Yoshihara might be hindrances in fact. Well, in future if events like this happen then Katsuragi and others will be more useful. When I said earlier “Ezuka and Katsuragi are better” I meant this.”
I did not argue based on emotion alone. I just simply told the truth.
“What did you say!?”
“We are better than them…”
The two of them were heavily surprised.
It appears that they are still hallucinating that they are better.
But, here a reversal of estimating value happened. You can understand that looks of the people in the castle has changed.
Even the people in the castle has understood who is better and who’s bad amongst my classmates.
Like this, the true worth of people comes only in a crisis.
There is no correlation between a crisis and small skill.
By cooperating with me who has an enormous skill we would be able to oppose great problems, that’s what is important.
To be strictly said the most important skill in society is to be able to adapt.
This grave fact has appeared itself to my classmates and it reconstructed a real hierarchy.
Well, I think it was a matter of time though.
“Let’s see it in practice. Your offensive power increases 10% against human-type enemies, right?”
“Aah, yeah. If I say so myself it’s hack-job of a skill.”
Ezuka cursed. What should I do to make him stronger and remove the limits.
Oh, that’s it.
Until now. 《????》
I smiled and began to adapt Ezuka’s skills.
