In the private Umenotsuji High School, otaku is considered as one of the lowest existences.
There is no place for otakus in our school thanks to the Riajuu.
Of course, otakus receive the templated criticism.
Talking ill behind their backs, direct violence, drawing on their desks.
Slippers and light novels that were locked in the locker thrown away. Such is the fate of an otaku in this school.
…… And I, Kamijou Tak.u.ma am the number one otaku in this school.
A friendly chat with friends during the breaks?
Lying on the desk and pretending to be asleep or something?
Surrounded by friends during the lunch break?
The very end of the male restroom on the second floor is my lunch place. n.o.body goes near it.
I am an Otaku since the Middle school, therefore it was over for me the moment I enrolled here.
One long year has pa.s.sed since starting such High School life.
At the end of the school day, I packed my backpack at the lightning speed in order to go home──I was involved in some strange unthinkable summoning phenomenon.
Together with my pleasant cla.s.smates.
The so-called Cla.s.s Metastasis.
When I came to, all 32 cla.s.smates including the teacher were in an awfully large and dim room.
Suspicious wizard-like people with hoods were standing before us.
A complicated and mysterious Magic circle was under their feet.
And as expected, an old man wearing luxurious clothes with a white beard (probably the King) said some shocking words.
『Welcome to our Kingdom!! Saviors of the world!!』
It goes without saying that agonizing cries and uproar was following after a while of silence.
The King splendidly ignored the cries of my cla.s.smates.
The Mazoku are invading our world, therefore I called you here.
You won’t be able to return home unless you defeat Maou.
After the cliché otherworldly summoning template, we were taken to a different room in order to verify our skills.
Those who were not from the Otaku world were scared and nervous, but I who read novels understood.
Most likely, they want to confirm what cheat abilities each of one us carries.
Sure enough, when the legendary wizard, the giant samurai appeared one by one, they raised their voices in joy.
I chuckled to myself.
I have already decided that in this development, I will be the one to receive the strongest ability.
My time finally came!
I check my skills while dancing in joy.

Inherent Skills
・Drilling (Hole digging)
…… Eh, just this?
Drilling…… Hole digging…… eh?
The King suddenly clapped my shoulder and said.
『There are high-quality magic stones in the soil in the outskirts. How about working there?』
To put it simply, I was demoted.
Or would it be better to say, getting rid of a nuisance?
The Homeroom teacher was desperately trying to stop it, but my cla.s.smates looked at me with coldly.
I was given a moderate amount of money and miscellaneous goods such as blanket and forcibly driven out of the Royal Castle.
I was cursing at the sudden Hard Mode start, but I was also feeling relieved.
After all, I wouldn’t know what kind of eyes would my cla.s.smates look at me and my shabby skill.
They would most likely increase their tormenting of someone “inferior” to them.
Really, what a relief.
Farewell, my cla.s.smates, I won’t miss you!
…… Sniffle.
With such feelings, I went to the church in the outskirts to dig Magic stones.
