Blazer.
This term might be unfamiliar to many, but in this world, everyone knew this term, and it was something common.
Now, what is a Blazer?
It is a special breed of humans who are born with the ability to wield magic. In other words, they are magicians.
Still, instead of a magician, Isao felt that a Blazer was someone with a special ability since, unlike a normal magician who cast their spells with a song or other methods, the Blazer's ability was to manifest a weapon and also use their abilities as they wished. Moreover, with the magic power that resided in their bodies, they could strengthen themselves by enhancing their physical abilities and allowing their body to defend themselves from bullets.
It could be said that they were simply a combination of a warrior and a magician, which is also why they were often called " Mage-Knights."
The perfect existence that allowed them to trample any battlefield, and this was also the reason why all-natural militaries and local police forces required Blazers, resulting in the development of the Mage-Knight System, where such people are all required to graduate from Mage-Knight Schools approved by the League of Mage-Knight Nations to license and social status as Mage Knights, thus receiving full permission to use their powers without the usual limitations.
Isao felt that this was quite similar to the existence of a magician in the "Mahouka" as the existence of Blazer could only become a weapon, a deterrent for the country, or the bad guy who wanted to harm the peace.
Still, unlike the world of "Mahouka," where the magician was treated as a tool, the Blazer in this world was hailed as a hero, someone everyone looked up to and envied;
Becoming a Blazer would also give anyone a stable job in government.
Yes, Blazer's abilities were amazing, but like everything in life, they had their own limitations. One such disadvantage was their inability to increase their magic power, a fact that added a sense of balance and realism to their existence.
'Blazer...'
Isao murmured, thinking that he had become one so easily and that he also became one with the most potential so easily, as he had replicated Stella's DNA. Moreover, he also gained the DNA of the protagonist in this world, Ikki Kurogane. There were others, but compared to Stella's DNA, they were all pale in comparison.
Even Ikki, who was the protagonist, was pale compared to Stella.
Yet, how could it not be, considering how her magical power was the biggest in this world? She had 30 times the amount of magical power compared to a normal Blazer, and her ability allowed him to manipulate the concept of a dragon.
The strongest mythical being that became the symbol of worship and terror in the world.
Stella could manipulate this concept and become the strongest person in existence, and Isao, who had replicated her DNA, could also do the same.
As he thought so, he also made his identity in this world. While it was strange, he didn't register himself as a Blazer, just a normal human. It might be strange, but considering his origin, he felt that this was appropriate.
If he registered himself as a Blazer, then there would be a lot of trouble, but if he registered himself as a normal person, then he could say that he had just awoken his power, which would make people believe him more.
Yes, he could control the people and make everyone in this world believe in all of his lies, yet he had to say it was better to be careful than sorry. While he might have become the strongest now... he didn't want to let his guard down.
"Now, what should I do?"
Isao had registered his identity in this world, and many kind people had lent him money and even bought him a good house nearby.
Business?
Well, Isao felt that he could do that, especially when he had the memory of the future technology from the world of "Mahouka" and also the talents of many deities from the world of "Danmachi." More importantly, Yuriko's DNA also helped him to become a master at finance.
In other words, no matter what type of business he chose, Isao felt that he could become the best.
Still, while money was important, power was even more so.
While Isao might have replicated the DNA of Stella and Ikki, who was the main heroine and the protagonist, there were also many interesting abilities that he could replicate in this world.
'Let's see my gain is...'
First was Stella Vermillion, which made him able to manipulate the concept of a dragon, so as long as it was related to a dragon, Isao felt that he could do all of its feats.
The second was Ikki Kurogane, the protagonist of this world.
Naturally, as Isao gained his luck, he also gained Ikki's talent in martial arts, body control, observations, and many others. Still, while Ikki's DNA was good, his talent as a Blazing was simply horrendous, especially when his ability could only double his physical ability, and his magic power and control over it were simply the worst.
While it was cruel, Isao felt that the DNA of Yoriichi Tsugikuni from the world of "Kimetsu no Yaiba" was much better than Ikki's DNA, especially unlike Ikki, who could only steal the techniques of others, Yoriichi made something from nothing and could master anything with just a glance.
Still, Isao wasn't choosy, and as long as it could benefit him, he was fine with it.
Besides that, he also gained DNA from the terrorist group Shizuku (Ikki's little sister), Arisuin Nagi (an important character), and Shizuya Kirihara (the first antagonist). For those people, while they might not increase his power much, they gave him many unique abilities, from an ability to absorb an attack, a water manipulation, a shadow manipulation, and, more importantly, to manipulate a concept of "transparency."
Once again, while it was cruel, Isao felt that Shizuya Kirihara's DNA was much better than Ikki's DNA.
'His weapon is also nice.'
As the Blazers could manifest a weapon in their soul, Kirihara could also do the same, and his weapon was a bow, which was a great thing, as Isao felt that he could give this DNA to Cassandra when he returned to the world of "Danmachi." Moreover, Kirihira's ability was so good and suitable for Cassandra, who was rather timid and cowardly.
'Now, what should I do?'
At this moment, he had gained many DNAs of important characters in this world, and frankly, if he just went back after this, it should be okay, but unlike before, he wasn't as weak as when he started to travel, so there was a leeway, and he could look around the world first.
Still, he wondered what kind of identity he should take.
'Should I become a high school student?'
In the world of "High School of the Dead," Isao was a high school student, but due to the outbreak of the virus and apocalypse, he was unable to graduate. In the world of "Mahouka," he might have a chance to become a high school student once again, but as he had made a move on Miya, he refrained from doing so since if he did so, he couldn't marry Miya legally, especially when she should be pregnant by now.
'Yes, she's the last.'
Nevertheless, once again, he affirmed his determination not to make a move on another married woman.
Still, he had to say, being handsome was quite troublesome, especially when he had become more handsome after replicating the DNA of the deity in the world of "Danmachi." Even if his appearance wasn't comparable to Freya's, he probably was still the most handsome in this world, and whenever he walked, there had always been women and even men who approached him, which made him speechless.
"Let's eat first."
Isao felt that he might as well have dinner first while thinking about what he should do in this world in a relaxed manner. Walking around, he decided to visit a local eatery, which appeared to be the most popular and relatively cheap, but as expected, he could see that it was packed with people.
"I am sorry. Our table is full right now, but if you don't mind, I can ask someone to share a table with you."
The waitress kept staring at his face obsessively
"...is that fine?"
"Wait a moment. Let me ask!" The waitress moved to one of the tables and asked someone to share a table with him before quickly returning. "She said okay. Please follow me!"
"...thanks." Isao nodded as the waitress led him to a table with a single young woman with jet-black hair covering her forehead and right eye, dark brown eyes, and a voluptuous womanly figure. Still, her figure hunched back and appeared gloomy as her hair covered her face. Moreover, she kept glancing at him with a flushed face, making her appear like a creep.
"P-Please..."
Her voice was quite rough, and her breathing was quite irregular.
"....." Isao and the waitress.
The waitress looked at Isao and asked worriedly, "Should I kick her out?"
"....." Isao and the woman.
