Chapter 3: Reincarnation Process

■■■■■■■■■■

First is Anbo Inari.

He is a rather unobtrusive student, and I have never seen him assert himself.

He is not as low in the class hierarchy as I am, but he is still near the bottom.

"Show me the back of your left hand."

At the administrator's prompting, Anbo extended his left hand, and she touched the back of it for a few seconds.

"That's good. Now, touch the back of your left hand with your right hand and say, 'Status Open.'"

"Y-Yes! Status Open!"

As if in response to Anbo Inari's words, a hologram floated up.

From the back row, I couldn't see the details, but there must be something written on it.

"Your rank is 'A,' your attribute is 'Darkness,' and your blessing is 'Dark Hero.' To get an 'A' right away, that's quite promising. Hehehe."

Although I can't see Anbo Inari's face, his back is radiating with joy.

"I'll explain the status. I'll only say this once, so listen carefully."

According to the administrator:

There are seven ranks from top to bottom: S, A, B, C, D, E, and F. The rank is related to basic abilities and growth during level-ups.

Attributes include Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light, Darkness, Space, Time, Battle, Magic, Skill, and Special Attributes.

Blessings are like professions and vary greatly from person to person. For us reincarnated individuals, there are various blessings such as 'Hero of [X],' 'Sage of [X],' and 'Holy Maiden of [X].'

Additionally, there are skills associated with the blessing. For example, Anbo Inari's Dark Hero has five skills: 'Dark Bind (Restraint),' 'Dark Slash (Dark Blade),' 'Dark Roa (Weakening),' 'Dark Mare (Nightmare),' and 'Dark Strong (Enhancement).'

The number of skills is random, ranging from over ten to just one.

Finally, there are abilities: 'Life,' 'Stamina,' and 'Mana.' Life represents vitality, Stamina represents endurance, and Mana represents magical power. Of course, the higher the value, the better.

"Wow, amazing! Your rank is 'S,' your attribute is 'Light,' and your blessing is 'Holy Light Hero'!"

Sagami Yuta drew the best card of the day.

I can't help but think, why does he always get the best? It seems that those who have it, really have it.

Another 'S'! Your rank is 'S,' your attribute is 'Light,' and your blessing is 'Holy Maiden of Compassion.'"

This is Katsura Rie, who ranks in the top three of the school's most beautiful girls. She is the vice president of the student council, takes good care of others, and is very approachable. She has never been called a 'parentless' child, nor has she ever been looked down upon.

The process continues.

Ishibashi Ken's rank is 'C,' his attribute is 'Fire,' and his blessing is 'Flame Warrior.' Many classmates, including myself, think his rank could be even lower.

After a while, only three of us, including me, are left. Generally, the ranks are mostly 'B' to 'D.'
