A Commonplace Story Of Overpowered Sorcerer

Right after Kouki ended his speech with his sickeningly dazzling smile, the dark-haired, burly boy and two pretty girls sitting near to his location followed up.

"Heh, knew you'd say that. Still, I'd be worried about letting you go off on your own... Which is why I'm coming with you."

This declaration came from the mouth of Ryutarou Sakagami. He was Kouki's best friend. He had short, trimmed black hair and a gaze that seemed at once both cheerful and stern. He stood 190 centimeters tall and had a massive, bear-like frame. As his build suggested, he was a musclehead who didn't have much delicacy.

"Looks like that's the only choice we have right now. It pisses me off that we don't get any real say in the matter, but... I'll help too."

The speaker was standing at the same height as Rio, a good deal taller than most of the other female students in the room. She had pitch-black hair tied into a ponytail. That, combined with her well-built body, made her seem like a dignified noblewoman, a female Knight, or Samurai. This girl was Shizuku Yaegashi.

"I-If Shizuku's going to fight, then I will too!"

Rio turned at the speaker and finally saw the last member of Kouki's group—Kaori Shirasaki. She was beautiful enough to be considered a goddess by many. She had sleek, black hair that went all the way down to her waist, and large alluring eyes filled with kindness. Her small nose sat perfectly upon her face, and her pink lips were the epitome of perfection. Her figure was voluptuous for a girl at her age. Overall, she was a perfect beauty.

Although Rio had the ambition to create a harem, Shizuku and Kaori weren't registered in his eyes, however. As a matter of fact, he didn't want to add the students and the teacher into his harem. For the time being, he had four targets already, and they were the members of Hajime's harem who originated from this world in the canon timeline.

A certain golden vampire sealed on the fiftieth floor of the depth of Great Orcus Labyrinth; the bugged Rabbitwomen with precognition ability; the m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic yet wise dragon; lastly, the MILF Dagon whose a daughter got kidnapped by slavers.

Although he planned to get them, who were in Hajime's harem in canon timeline, Rio surprisingly didn't have Netori fetish. Then, what about his plan for picking them? Well, It isn't called Netori when they had yet to fall in love with Hajime. They are still single without any interest to a man, excluding the MILF Dagon, but it's irrelevant since she was a widow for a long time already, so calling it Netori is wrong in and of itself.

It will become Netori if as the example, Rio stole the Golden Vampire after Hajime fell in love with her. But, then again, Rio wouldn't allow it for happening. As a matter of fact, Rio wanted to return Hajime and his class back to his original world as soon as possible. But, before he could do it, he must find out whether God really gave him unlimited mana and the power to create all the skills and abilities he wanted or not.

To tell you the truth, Rio was very anxious about this. He didn't know what would happen to him if God tricked him and gave him nothing after dumping him here. If his second and third wishes weren't granted, Rio planned to do what Hajime in the canon had done. He would get his hand on God's Crystal and increased his power the hard way. He expected it would be full of misery and agony, but he would do anything to get peerless strength and a harem of beauties.

Since the students had chosen to assist the humans in their war, they now needed to learn how to fight. No matter how amazing their newfound powers were, they were still high school students that had been living in the peaceful country of Japan. It would've been impossible for them to just start fighting against demons and monsters without any training. At this point, Kouki who had agreed to join the humans of Tortus in their war recalled about Rio's existence. He felt bad that he had dragged this stranger to this problem, and so he apologized to Rio and had a small conversation to know about him better.

Rio entertained Kouki's curiosity and answered some of his questions while gave "No comment!" to the rest.

Afterward, Ishtar explained to the students, the single teacher, and Rio that there were people ready to receive them in the Heiligh Kingdom. Said kingdom was apparently at the foot of the divine mountain, and the temple they were currently in was the head temple of the Holy Church that stood at its summit.

The kingdom had very close ties with the Holy Church — according to legend, one of Ehit's progeny, Sharam Vaan, had founded the kingdom. Of all the human kingdoms, it was apparently the one with the ric.h.e.s.t history. The fact that the Church's most sacred temple was in the kingdom's backyard spoke volumes about how deep their connection ran.

Rio and Hajime's class then followed after Ishtar who led them towards the temple's front gate.
