How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

"Are you all sick?"

"Just because they're in a higher class, does that make them superior to us?"

"Yeah, by the way, who exactly are you guys?"

"I...I'll go get the teacher..."

Discontent was growing.

Then, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

"Hey."

Norius came to Brid.

"You don't think you're on the same level as us, do you?"

Aside from your F and E classes, we students in the higher classes started going to the dungeon at the age of 12.

Unlike you guys who come in through external exams and are generally low-level candidates with only a level 5 or 6 certificate, we're different.

Let's look at the ring table; it's not a request, it's a command!

...!!!

A dark fear hung over the classroom, and the silent pressure seeped into the skin.

"Uh..."

Norius activated the

Brid slumped back into her chair, utterly exhausted.

"Ha, is that all you've got?"

Norris smiled with satisfaction: "If you understand, sit down. Don't waste our time. Take out your ring charts and show us your ability values."

Everyone looked terrible, cold sweat trickled down their skin, and no one resisted anymore.

"...Oh."

Sirocco gritted his teeth.

The aura emanating from the other party was so strong that it was like churning one's brain with ice cream.

If I hadn't prepared myself mentally, I probably would have been caught in a vortex of fear.

【intimidate】

Skills dropped by monsters in dungeons are very useful against opponents of lower level than yourself. They emit an aura that makes the opponent feel like a mouse being watched by a hawk, hindering their actions...

A skill that explorers use to intimidate monsters.

The mere presence of Norius alone is enough to make everyone deeply aware of the power gap. Even if the entire Class F were to join forces now, they would probably still be no match for his boss—Red-haired Cliff.

However... they must be in a hurry too.

If the teachers find out about this later, they won't be able to play this kind of "selection" game anymore.

Yes, they can only play this once.

It's nothing more than using the guise of a selection process to hold a "concubine selection"...

"First and foremost, it's you!"

What?

Norius points to Sirocco.

"It's you! Your bangs look like a ghost!"

You're at the very bottom of the rankings!

Sirocco remembered that Norius should have just randomly picked an ordinary-looking boy with glasses from the class, the lowest level, to put on a show and fool people...

Sirocco realized that his position was the first one in the back row.

The back row is by the window, Wang’s hometown.

In reality, class seating is arranged according to academic performance.

Turns out I was the lowest...

"Come here quickly!"

"Ah good..."

Sirocco tried his best to appear fearful as he walked toward the podium.

"for you."

Chi——!

Norius laughed out loud.

"What is this thing! How come its attributes are so low! It's such a weakling."

He read it very loudly.

"You managed to get in at level 2? Is this all the people who get in from outside?"

"Ugh..."

Although she felt nothing inside, Sirocco still tried her best to appear unwilling to accept defeat.

It deviates somewhat from the plot, but it's still within the acceptable range.

He was well aware that he was indeed a nobody right now.

The key point is, we really can't beat them.

"you..."

Go back home.

Sirocco guessed, but the next sentence was unexpected:

"You're very cute, so we'll make an exception and hire you." He patted Sirocco on the shoulder.

Sirocco: ....?

Brid: ? ? ?

classmates:? ? ?

"I am..."

"Wait a minute! Although he looks very fair-skinned, has hair that's even smoother than a girl's, and has big, bright eyes, he is definitely a man."

Before Sirocco could even defend himself, Brid preemptively offered an explanation for him.

"I'm sorry, I can't reciprocate your feelings, just as she said..."

Wow…

The voice she spoke was low and husky, yet it still had a girl's tone, which made Sirocco feel somewhat melancholy.

Strangely enough, Brid actually defended me.

The reason Sirocco could think of was either Brid's sense of justice or her own kindness that led her to help him.

"Huh?! How is that possible?"

Norris scrutinized the "girl" before him; she was flat-chested and dressed in a men's uniform.

"Is that enough? He is indeed a man, or do you want to confirm by touching him?"

"Aye--!!"

Norius teleported backward, looking disgusted, and frantically wiped his right hand with a tissue.

"Get out of here, next one!"

There's no need to treat me like a germ.

Sirocco sat back down and glanced at Brid, but she avoided his gaze.

Sirocco had mixed feelings of love and hate regarding his childhood sweetheart's act of kindness.

This behavior made the original owner think there was a chance, and she even thought it was Brid's special behavior towards her.

These are just three major misconceptions.

"That's you!"

Norris gave a dangerous smile.

"Eh? Ok, ok."

Corsi got up timidly.

Norris and Cliff met eyes and nodded slightly in unison.

"your name?"

"K...Korcy..."

"Hey..."
