I awoke to the sound of a voice.
???: "Welcome hero's my name is Arishu and i'm the princess of the Alvera Kingdom. Welcome to the land of Icandia!"
Hmm, so it's a group summoning. That's nice at least I won't stand out.
I see a group of kids that had confused or shocked expressions on their faces.
Probably they were in the middle of class and transferred over here. I suspected it or else i'm by crying in joy.
Hmm, I see so this world runs on mana. Nice to know, so I guess everyone is a mage or magic swordsmen here.
I looked at the princess. Hmm.. She's okay looking. She had red hair, and smooth skin, and an elegant attitude. I can tell she isn't evil. I can still read minds. Well at least her mind. From that I got a background of this world.
We're on the human side of the world. On this side, almost all inhabitants are humanoid. That includes demi-human races such as elves and dwarfs.
Amazing, the strongest person in the kingdom can use spells that can pretty much equal a nuke.
You were categorized on how strong you were based on your talent, mana control, mana amount, and if you pursue the sword, then you can infuse mana in certain magic swords and battle with them.
There were status plate artifacts that are pretty common in this world. Everyone received one and it pretty much determined your identity like an I.D. from Earth.
The more mana you have the longer your lifespan is. You also had to temper your body with mana. That's why there are swordsman.
The oldest person in this kingdom that she knows of is nearing 10,000 years old.
Interesting.
Arishu: "The god Bahamut has summoned you here to help us defeat the demons. Us humans are losing and if we fully lose. Humanity will cease to exist."
What a joke. So a so called god summoned us. I'm pretty sure that guy may be the strongest person in this world. However I really doubt he's reached the level of a god.
While I was doing research I found out a chance of higher worlds where energy density is much higher. I'm pretty sure that is where I'll find my answer to my problems there. However I think the "god" here is probably found a method within the world to stay alive.
Random Kid: "Who is that? I don't remember him in our class." He pointed at me. Hmm... so he has an inferiority complex. What a loser.
Their teacher turned to me and there was a hint of surprise on her face.
Teacher: "Did you get dragged into this with us?"
Okawa: "No, I chose to come here. You have a problem with that?"
They all looked at me with an confused expression.
Okawa: "Less talk so how does this world work princess?"
Arishu: "So you're the smarter one out of the group. It's like... You expected it..." She looked at me with an curious expression.
I have to admit she was pretty but that doesn't mean i'll tell anyone my secrets. Hell, no one knows and a girl i've seen for the first time won't be an exemption. I am no simp after all.
Okawa: "Maybe I don't maybe I do. Who knows? Since you introduced yourself, I will too. My name is Okawa Takahiro and i'm 16." I said with a calm expression.
The class gasped. I guess it's the fame. It's not like no one knows about the name. Well that's the only thing they should know about me. My name and my age. The hidden mysterious genius.
Teacher: "Are you THE Okawa Takahiro?!?!"
Okawa: "Maybe yes maybe no who knows?" My personality should have been different. However i'm still like an kid due to the fact that my body is that of a kid. It's like instinct nagging inside your head."
The kid with the inferiority complex got mad. What a loser.
Arishu: "Well everyone, let's check your statuses! You have to drop some blood on it."
She ordered the knights to give out status plates. This artifact somewhat scans you for information huh. I have a feeling I can somehow manipulate the results of it. Although since I reincarnated, my body is weak at the moment again. It's only at the level of 10x a normal human. I won't have to change that. However i'll have to manipulate my soul and let omit less. I think these can scan the aura of the soul and maybe show how strong someone's soul is. The stronger your soul, the higher the chance to have more mana and become a mage.
Some people were scared to get blood from their fingers but still did it anyways. I mean why are you afraid of pricking yourself?
When I got my artifact I tried to scan it with my soul. To my surprise, it worked! So I copied the function with my soul so that if I wanted to know my status, I can always know. I lowered the aura my soul was omitting, dropped some blood on it, and checked my status plate.

So observe was what I did with my soul... Fireball was the weak spell and only spell that I did on Earth using the tiny amounts of mana. However, I tweaked it a bit and improved my usage on mana and received surprising results. Hence maybe that is why they can't detect the grade of my mana control.
It seems my body was made out of magic by someone. Who was it... I'm pretty sure it was the god himself. They probably don't realize it but they were most likely killed and then put into new bodies. If he can create bodies, then why is he doing all this summoning a "hero."
Maybe he likes playing with lives. That's the only conclusion I can come up with. That ups the danger level now. Talent is depending on soul's so me suppressing my soul when I came here was also a good idea. If he can change how strong our souls are, i'd rather not let him now a being with a powerful soul entered his "playground."
The body he created for me was like supposed to be weak. If it wasn't me then most likely all the stats would have been at 1. Who did this?
It appears my appearance stayed the same. I had silver hair that glistened. I am handsome... with a semi-athletic build and 6'2". I was the tallest one here if you don't include the knights. Those knights have gray souls. Guess they always follow orders.
???: "I have the hero class!" A guy near me happily saids.
Hmm... That guy has a hero complex. He's most likely going to be the one who can't kill and blabs about BS such as justice.
Most likely, he can't even kill the "bad" people. He's handsome too so maybe he can get someone to like him. Most likely though, everyone should be aware of his hero complex and seek to befriend him for benefits.
I went over to check his status plate and boy do I have to say it's not fair.

Yep, this god like to play around. Most likely crazy too. Heck, if he can make bodies with these skills, that means that he can make better bodies.
Maybe, he himself have an army of people with stats 10k+ and calls them his apostles.
So a god apostles that don't fight the demons is way stronger than the hero himself.
Makes sense.
While, I wasn't paying attention, I didn't realize that the princess was still looking at me instead of the hero and she saw my status screen.
Arishu: "What??!! How?!?! The status screen cannot read your age and class? And 100 talent??!?! How is that possible?!?!" She nearly was screaming...
Wow I guessed she was too surprised...
The class looked at me with a surprised expression.
The knights that were in the room and the priest that were spying on us all were surprised...
Random Person: "100 Talent!?!?! How..."
They were all mumbling. Did I make a few people idiots with just my status screen? Wow, if they were to know the truth...
If someone was to know what I was thinking then they should be spitting blood at the least. Maybe I can even make the jealous kid die with anger.
What a bunch of fools.
Okawa: "How much talent does a normal person have?"
Arishu: "A normal person has 0.1 talent." She said as she was still dazed. Surprised at the prospect that I had 100 talent.
Most likely she is thinking about how humanity still has hope.
However, everyone else were getting mediocre stats that were better than mine in nearly all areas but magic.
The teacher herself can be a very strong magic swordsmen due to her balanced stats.
Maybe I can finally have some fun. I thought in my mind.
Later, the king came in and when I tried to read his mind however, I felt a resistance and a presence. I can only allow so much soul power to be used at the moment since I don't want to change the status screen even more.
He looked at the direction of our class with a surprised and threatening expression.
I quickly stopped since I didn't want him to pinpoint me.
King: "Who just tried to pry into my mind?" He said with a "kind" smile with a clear sign that it was a threat.
Everyone else started shivering and was scared. I didn't as that pressure was so small that I wouldn't have known that it existed had I not saw his face.
A moment a silence happened with the princess also being surprised. She looked at me for some reason. Does she suspect me? It's unlikely but I doubt she would something was wrong with me. At least not yet...
When no one answered, I can tell he wasn't in a relaxed manner anymore and had his guard up. Welp I can't get anymore info today.
King: "Since today is the first day you got here, how about you guys rest first? Maids take them to their own new rooms."
Some girl came up to us and told us to follow her.
We did and they laid us to our individual rooms. The rooms look almost identical with the exception of the hero's room being slightly larger and more luxurious.
Whatever, it's not like I really need sleep. I might just increase my mana tonight and try to enhance my body.
Maybe I can use my modified Qi cultivation technique that instead of using Qi uses mana to strengthen my body at a faster rate than others. It's more like a mana gathering technique since there aren't any stages and speed of mana gathering depends on your understanding of the technique.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today was a surprise we had a hero and a guy that had the potential to be stronger than a hero. His class couldn't even be read by the status stone! I wonder who he is...
Dad: "Daughter, if there any one strong in that group?" He said with a serious expression.
I told him "The hero is strong but there is someone else with an unknown age and class with a talent of 100." I said it with an inquisitive tone not knowing why he needed the information.
He seemed surprised too. I mean 100 talent is practically non existent. Even the hero only had 50 but he had 100. That double the hero. Who was he?
Suddenly we felt all the mana in the air disappear.
Arishu: "Father, what happened to the mana?"
King: "I don't know... The only way it could all disappear at the same time is if... Someone absorbed it all..." He said with a look of horror and a tone denying what he's saying.
Why do I have a feeling that it's him... Well I won't tell dad until i'm sure. I don't want to make his life miserable because I got it wrong...
I will never let anyone hurt my family.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My technique is too powerful as it seems like. I instantly took all the mana in the surrounding area out of the air in a split second. If I have to say it with numbers, it could probably be up to 10,000 units of mana. That's a lot for a mage.
I felt a huge amount of pain and instantly I disconnected my consciousness from my body to lessen the pain.
Maybe I took in too much.
This should enhance my body to a level almost equal to me before I came here. I should be way stronger now since I have a sickening amount of mana.
I preceded to sleep and let the mana do its job inside my body.
Although it's painful, i've lived for so long and felt so much pain before, I found a method that can almost prevent you from feeling the pain. So I can still sleep.
~The next day~
I woke up and felt refreshed. Well not refreshed but stronger. I took out my status plate artifact and manipulated the things on it so that it always says a number 1 percent of my actual status. I can be too suspicious.
I'm pretty sure someone would have to had found out the massive mana disappearance last night. If they didn't they won't be a kingdom.
I then preceded to see my stat using my soul.
